Star Card System

When Mourinho saw Kaka on the field, he had already started to laugh.

Mendes beside him asked curiously: "Why are you laughing?"

"Because the victory has been decided," Mourinho said with confidence, "it is appropriate for Kaka to present the award."

"Why?"

"Because Kaka is the last hero in the era of twin pride, and Xia is the new hero in the new era! This award is of great significance!"

"Didn't xia also win the Golden Globe in the summer of 2016?"

"That's different. Just winning the Ballon d'Or once does not create a new era. Only by winning more than twice can you be qualified to become the true successor of Messi and Ronaldo!"

Mendes nodded and agreed with Mourinho's statement.

When Kaka read out Xia Xing's name, the audience burst into applause!

The host’s eyes were filled with excitement and respect!

“The summer of 2018 is an extraordinary summer.

“A lot of great stories happened this summer.

“I believe that many years from now, people will still miss this warm season very much.

“The gathering of heroes on the World Cup stage has dazzled countless fans.

“Countless stars have performed wonderful performances in Russia,

“The French team that finally won the championship set off a youth storm.

“Teams such as Croatia, England and Belgium also left a deep impression on us.

“The World Cup, which happens every four years, is always a feast for people.

“But there is also a big regret in this cup.

"It's just that the club's best player in 2018 did not appear on the World Cup stage.

"He is xia!

“The 2018 Champions League final was definitely the most exciting Champions League final I have ever watched!

"No, it should be said to be the most exciting football game I have ever watched, bar none!

“When Manchester United fell behind 0-3 at halftime, when Pogba and Rooney left the field due to injuries one after another,

"I don't think Manchester United have a chance.

"But at this moment, a young man stood up,

"He used his cosmic performance to help the team usher in a great turnaround!

“The hat trick that turned the tide made ‘Wonderful Night in Kiev’ an eternal classic moment!

"I said he was the best club player in 2018, I believe no one would object.

"Best in the Champions League, best in the Premier League, top scorer, top assists...

"Besides Manchester United's six-time crown, it was he who used countless personal efforts and honors to help Manchester United build its empire bit by bit!

“His performance was phenomenal!

“Even if he didn’t participate in the World Cup, he was still an absolute superstar in 2018!

"Xia deserves the Golden Globe Award!"

Under the applause and blessing of everyone in the audience, Xia Xing stood up and walked onto the stage.

Along the way, Modric, Griezmann, Mbappe, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Messi all shook hands with Xia Xing in a friendly way.

These competitors are convinced by this talented star's victory.

Except for the young Mbappe, everyone else has played against Xia Xing this year.

Without exception, all failed.

Xia Xing is so powerful that they are better understood by everyone.

It is not unfair to lose at his hands!

Standing on the stage, the handsome Kaka awarded the trophy to Xia Xing, and the two hugged sincerely.

Kaka whispered in Xia Xing's ear: "Come on, young man, you will lead a new era!"

Looking at the back of the Brazilian star turning away, Xia Xing sighed in his heart.

My former football idol actually awarded me the Ballon d'Or trophy today.

It's like a dream.

With the microphone in hand, the applause in the venue gradually subsided, and everyone was waiting for Xia Xing's voice.

Xia Xing looked around. In front of him were all the big guys, coaches, and stars from the international football world.

Their eyes were full of sincerity at this moment.

Xia Xing was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

He didn't talk much, but every word was precious.

“I have a lot of people to thank for being able to stand on this stage.

“First of all, I must thank the fans and friends,

"Because of your care and support, I can bloom.

"Then I have to thank the coaches and teammates,

"Because of your help, I am lucky.

“I also have to thank my family;

"Alyona and Li De,

"I love you all so much."

When he said this, the audience burst into applause.

Everyone knew Xia Xing's life experience, and he was alone until he met Aliona and Li De.

The three of them have been living together, and in Xia Xing's heart, they are already family.

Saying these words today has moved countless people.

Then, Xia Xing picked up the topic again.

"Here, I must thank one person in particular,

"That is Mr. Vichai, the former owner of Leicester City.

"Because of his training and attention, I am successful today.

"May his spirit in heaven be well,

"I also wish everyone here to be safe,

"I wish everyone the best."

Xia Walker's final words reminded the audience of thunderous applause that lasted for a long time.

Many football people here were in tears.

Recalling the Leicester miracle, the honor of winning the five-time crown seems like yesterday.

Two seasons ago, Dang Xia Xing won the 2016 Ballon d'Or.

At that time, he and Ronaldo had the same number of votes, and both of them were on the podium at the same time.

When lifting the Golden Ball trophy, the Leicester City soldiers present gave Xia Xing the most solemn and warm applause.

Even happier than the guests present at Manchester United.

Because this Ballon d'Or came from Leicester City, it is an honor that belongs to the Fox City.

A Leicester miracle made Xia Xing shocked the world.

After the meeting, the Leicester City soldiers hugged Xia Xing warmly and chatted with him.

Vichai was one of the very happy people.

He said many encouraging words to Xia Xing that day, and Xia Xing could not remember them.

But Xia Xing still remembers the old man's warm hug and sincere eyes.

After the award ceremony, many media used the photo of Vichai and Xia Xing hugging as an important moment for Xia Xing to win the championship.

Without Vichai's training and the support of Leicester City, Xia Xing would not have won his first Ballon d'Or.

And now, Xia Xing has won the second Ballon d'Or in his life.

Mentioning Vichai again, how can it not be sad.

In the subsequent FIFA Coach of the Year selection, Mourinho defeated French national team coach Deschamps and successfully won the trophy.

This also echoes Xia Xing's Ballon d'Or.

In the subsequent selection of the best 11 players of the year, many Manchester United players were selected.

In addition to the Ballon d'Or winner Xia Xing, De Gea was also selected for the best team.

This is another gain for Manchester United players.

Mourinho's face in the stands was full of smiles.

That night, countless players who shined on the World Cup stage stepped onto the stage, shining brightly.

And the six-time champion Manchester United still dominated the competition and won the two most important awards.

After the game, at the request of the media, Xia Xing and Mourinho took a photo holding the trophy.

This photo has become an eternal classic.

The next day, Bild's report on the Ballon d'Or awards ceremony used this photo as the headline.

"The best in the world, scored twice!" (End of this chapter)
