There is a belief called football

Chapter 609 Golden Globe Awards

Zurich Switzerland.

Super sports cars passed by the avenue, the road was closed, and the media were kept out of the isolation zone.

When Messi got out of the car, there was a commotion at the scene, fans were shouting Messi's name, a small fan raised his small hand, and Messi held his hand on it.

The atmosphere at the scene was too warm, but Messi could not stay for long. Under the escort of security, Messi quickly walked into the hall.

After Messi left, another supercar stopped at the door, and it was Ronaldo who got out of the car.

There was another scream.

"Cristiano",
"Cristiano",
"Cristiano",
Ronaldo showed his iconic smile, he waved at the fans, and then, like Messi, quickly disappeared from the hotel entrance and walked into the lobby.

Not long after, a blue Bugatti stopped at the door, and the flashes on the scene blinded everyone's eyes. This car can be said to be the coolest car tonight, and it also blinded everyone when the people in the car got off.

Tonight's Li Qiao is wearing a dark blue suit, with a slightly upturned hairstyle, and looks very handsome.

"Li Qiao, I love you",
Suddenly Chinese was heard in the crowd. It must be a student studying in Switzerland. Li Qiao thought, but in fact Li Qiao was wrong. This girl is Li Qiao's die-hard fan. She flew here from Shanghai specially to watch Li Qiao participate in the Golden Globe Awards.

The same is true for Li Qiao. He hurried into the hall. As soon as he entered the hall, Ronaldo and Messi were surrounded by reporters.

Soon, Li Qiao was also surrounded by reporters.

"Li Qiao, how do you feel about being selected as the last three players in this year's Golden Globe Awards."

"It's unbelievable, thank you everyone for voting for me",
"Then do you have the confidence to win the cup at the end?"
Li Qiao shrugged, "I hope."

"By the way, what happened to your bet with Messi before the Champions League last year, did Messi give you the trophy?"
Li Qiao smiled, "As professional players, we need to compete, but the Ballon d'Or trophy is awarded by FIFA. I don't think it can be given to others casually. This is also a disrespect for football, but Messi promised to be my fan. He added me on Twitter."

The reporter also laughed, "But you kept your annual salary, I think if you lose, Messi will not let you go."

Say Messi, Messi arrives.

Messi paced over after seeing Li Qiao, the two of them held hands together and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Both of them appreciate each other very much, but they are destined to be only rivals.

"Leo, are you confident that you can beat Li Qiao?"
Messi smiled, "Of course, I want to collect all 6 Golden Globes, and I will take a photo with Li Qiao later."

"Would you like it, Li Qiao"?
"Leo, don't forget that you have already lost to me once, so I want to wait until after the awards ceremony."

Messi and Li Qiao talked to each other, leaving Ronaldo aside. In the past, Ronaldo and Messi were the focus of the venue, but now the focus has become Qiao Li, Messi, and Ronaldo. It seems that Ronaldo has already been out of the game, which makes the Portuguese very upset.

Later, even the reporters who interviewed Ronaldo moved to Li Qiao's side, because it seemed that Li Qiao and Messi's duo turned out to be more lively and explosive.

After the interview in the lobby, everyone walked into the venue. The award ceremony can be said to have officially started. Family members can participate in the award ceremony. Li Qiao brought his father Li Shan and Diana.

The first thing started was a cultural performance. After a passionate black dance, Infantino stepped onto the stage.

Infantino is not as eloquent as Blatter, but everyone is familiar with him as he hosts the Champions League draw ceremony all the year round.

Infantino first reviewed the European football last season, and he thanked everyone for their contributions to football.

Then a short video appeared on the big screen to help everyone review last season's European football and world football matches. The wonderful moments were frozen in the camera. Many people were still very moved after seeing this.

Because many veterans have retired, some people's performance can only be seen on the camera. After the review, Infantino thanked the final 23-man roster for the Golden Globe Awards.

The list is very long, but what everyone is most interested in is the top 10 rankings.

Of course, the ranking of the top three is still a secret. We only know that Li Qiao, Messi, and Ronaldo are the last three, and the one with the highest votes among the three is the winner of the Golden Globe Award.

Starting from No.4, Bell, Suarez, Pogba, Muller, Lewandowski, Neuer, Iniesta.

When Infantino finished reading the list of 23 players, there was applause at the scene. Those who can be shortlisted are the greatest players on the planet. Although they have no possibility of going on stage to win the cup, they are also heroes.

Then the first suspense will be revealed tonight, that is the award presenter of the Golden Globe Awards. According to the usual practice, the award presenter is also the former World Footballer, so who is the guest tonight?
The lights dimmed for a while, and as a person walked onto the stage, the suspense was revealed, because everyone knew who this person was just by looking at his back. He was "Robert Baggio" who won the World Footballer of the Year in 1993.

Now Baggio has put on weight slightly, and he no longer has the braids of the past, and Baggio hardly appears in the eyes of the media, so when Baggio played, the applause was loud.

Infantino and Baggio shake hands.

"Robert, how are you doing?"
"good",
"How about you, it shouldn't be good, I watched the news",
Everyone laughed out loud at the scene. Everyone knows what Baggio is referring to. FIFA is troubled now, and Infantino's position is actually very unstable.

Infantino laughed at himself, "Cherish it, maybe at this time next year, the president of FIFA will change again."

Everyone applauded for Infantino's humor.

"Robert, this is your first time to present an award",
Baggio nodded.

"So what do you think of the three in the audience, which one do you like more?"
After speaking, Infantino pointed to Li Qiao, Messi, and Ronaldo in the audience, and then the camera returned to Baggio.

Baggio smiled, "I'm the award presenter, will this seem unfair?"

Infantino laughed, "Anyway, the media doesn't believe that FIFA is fair."

The guests in the audience laughed again. At this time, Infantino's humorous self-deprecation is actually adding points to FIFA.

Baggio pointed to Li Qiao, "If I were a judge, I would vote for Li Qiao."

Infantino smiled, "Remember, this is what Baggio said. If the final result is Li Qiao, then don't go to FIFA, go to Baggio."

With a burst of laughter, the envelope with the winner's name was handed over to Baggio. Baggio walked to the microphone and took out the card in the envelope. At this time, Baggio already knew the winner's name.

"The winner is...",
"Li Qiao".

*****
As Baggio read out the names of the winners, there were thunderous cheers in bars of all sizes in China. The awards ceremony was held in the early hours of BJ's time, but in China, many of Li Qiao's die-hard fans stayed up all night waiting in front of the TV, waiting for the birth of Asia's first World Footballer of the Year.

When the name of "Li Qiao" was read out, many people laughed, and many people cried, laughing happily, and crying tears of joy.

This night in China, it felt as exciting as when everyone was waiting in front of the TV and waiting for Samaranch to call out that BJ won the right to host the Olympic Games.

"Li Qiao",
"Li Qiao",
"Li Qiao",
On the street in the early morning, there were not many people, but some people still rushed out of the house, shouting at everyone: "Li Qiao is the World Footballer".

Tonight, Li Qiao's name filled the streets and alleys of China. This is the proudest moment of Chinese football.

*****
When Baggio announced the winners, the camera first showed Messi and Ronaldo. Both of them smiled and applauded, showing great generosity.

Then the camera showed Li Qiao, Li Qiao looked very calm, first he hugged Diana and Li Shan beside him, then stood up and waved at the guest seats, after waving, Li Qiao ran up to the podium with small steps.

Baggio went forward, first gave a big hug, and then Baggio handed the golden ball to Li Qiao.

Li Qiao took the gold cup, first touched it, it felt awesome, then walked to the microphone, Li Qiao was about to deliver his acceptance speech.

The audience was quiet, waiting to hear Li Qiao's speech.

"First of all, I would like to thank my father, who gave me the dream of football, and second, I would like to thank Stan, who was my first coach, and Mr. Lobarov",
Having said that, Li Qiao pointed to the sky, "I did it, Mr. Lobarov", with a sob in his voice.

"Thank you Borussia Dortmund, Jurgen, I haven't forgotten you",
"Finally, I would like to thank the great Bayern Munich, Sammer, your choice is right."

"Thank you to all those who support me, those who care about me, the Chinese fans who stay up late in front of the TV, thank you."

Li Qiao didn't thank Diana, because there was no need for thanks between him and Diana, and they had a good understanding.

After leaving the stage, the Puskas Award of the Year will be awarded later, and the winner is still Li Qiao, that is, he shot in the air in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Li Qiao took the stage to take the trophy from Zidane. Li Qiao is undoubtedly the biggest winner tonight.

Then there was the best player in the women's football team. Soon the awards ceremony was over, and the big winner, Li Qiao, naturally became the darling of the media, surrounded by three layers inside and outside.

"Li Qiao, how does it feel to win the award?"
"Cool",
In the end, judging from the vote rate, Li Qiao won more than 40% of the votes. It can be said that Li Qiao not only won the award, but was also supported by high votes.

"This year is the World Cup year. Li Qiao, you have already won the Champions League and the Ballon d'Or. For you, the next breakthrough can only be in the World Cup."

Li Qiao seemed very cautious about this question, he just smiled and said, "Maybe."
