Nine and a half

Chapter 224 Transition Daily
Lukaku panted and raised his big black hand to comfort the 19-year-old talented defender Stones.

"There is no shame in being beaten by Gao, he is the man who will win the Ballon d'Or next week."

"You also know?"

"Any idiot knows that his performance in 2014 will definitely win the Ballon d'Or!"

Snowflakes are falling.

Xiao Heidan crossed his arms in front of his chest with a matter-of-fact expression on his face.

The Everton youngsters looked at each other.

Is Melo's Golden Ball monopoly really going to be broken?

The Ballon d'Or is the highest individual honor in football and the dream of every player.

Looking back carefully at Gao Qi's performance in 2014, he amazed the world in the Champions League final during his time in Rome, missed the World Cup with the national team, and conquered the Premier League in the second half of his Manchester City career. He wrote a personal fairy tale of the Asian Cup.

The little demons couldn't find any way to refute.

The look he gave Gao Qi was full of admiration.

Gao Qi and his Manchester City teammates thanked the fans of Etihad.

He took off his jersey and handed it to the stands.

The staff hurriedly ran forward to cover him with a coat, fearing that the Chinese superstar might get cold.

not far away.

Kompany stood with his hands behind his back against a backdrop covered with billboards.

Reporters rushed to hold up microphones.

"I'm the captain of Belgium."

“I voted for Gao.”

"His performance in 2014 is beyond doubt, and the 1.5 million transfer fee is the best proof of that."

The media wrote furiously.

They have begun to warm up to the Golden Globe Awards.

Post-match press conference.

Pellegrini looked relaxed.

"Gao's role in the team is obvious. I have also been trying to learn from the tactics of the Chinese team's coaching staff during this period."

“He’s the best.”

"In 2015, we can expect Gao to produce even more impressive numbers at Manchester City."

The trees on both sides of the road were bare.

The business car moved slowly forward in the wind and snow.

Gao Qi held the tablet computer and checked the recent news.

"There has been an attack on the Parisian magazine Charlie Hebdo for reasons that have yet to be determined."

"FIFA officials said they are eager for the Chinese team to reach the 2018 Russia finals."

"2014 Golden Boy Award winner, Sterling."

Drop drop drop.

The phone rang.

Gao Qi unlocked the screen and saw that it was a message from Lina.

The German farm girl didn't say anything important, she just lamented her age.

Is 27 old old?
He thought about it and cited the examples of several Spanish football stars to encourage the other party.

Finally, Lina responded with a smiley face.

The suspense of the Golden Globe Awards continues to build.

Major football legends have come out to make predictions.

"Shevchenko: Neuer is a World Cup champion. He is not only a dream-level goalkeeper, but also the last man on the German team's defense."

"Platini: A goalkeeper winning the Ballon d'Or would be a revolution in world football."

"Maradona: Messi and Ronaldo should take a break, this year it's Gao Qi's turn."

"Cruyff: This is the year of Gao Qi."

"Beckenbauer: If a Chinese player can win the Ballon d'Or, the entire world of football will benefit."

A few days later.

Zurich Opera House, brightly lit.

A long red carpet was laid to the end of the stairs.

Media reporters from all over the world set up their cameras early.

The cold wind made him shrink his head.

They were ready to go, and all their eyes were directed towards the road.

"Messi!"

"Leo Messi!"

Three commercial vehicles slowly stopped by the roadside.

Barcelona stars appeared one after another.

The spotlights kept flashing.

Enrique gently tugged at the hem of his suit, then proudly raised his arm to greet the fans and media around him.

He looks more like the club's big leader.

Poor Bartomeu, he was squeezed to the back and looked like a follower.

Other media are scrambling to interview Messi.

A reporter from Marca rushed to Enrique and raised the microphone: "Who do you think is the best in the world in 2014?"

Enrique said seriously: "Unfortunately, in the year of the World Cup, the best coach must be the World Cup champion."

"."

"Sir, I want to ask about the winner of the Ballon d'Or"

The words are not finished yet.

The Barcelona coach has already stepped onto the red carpet, leaving behind a lonely back.

Messi wore a purple suit today.

Facing the media's tricky questions.

He seemed very calm.

"Gao, Ronaldo and Neuer have all played brilliantly over the past year."

"The best team of the year? I saw it!"

"The forward line is: Ronaldo, Gao, and me"

There was thunderous applause.

Reporters can't help but imagine: Once this forward combination is put together, it will surely break through all defenses and become the strongest in history.

not far away.

Buffon raised his index finger and shook it.

"Impossible, how can one ball be enough for three of them to kick?"

"There will be a fight!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

time flies.

The opera house entrance was becoming increasingly crowded.

The white street lights illuminate the red carpet.

Each figure made the media and fans on both sides of the cordon scream constantly.

"Cristiano Ronaldo!!!"

"Cristiano!"

The appearance of Ronaldo made everyone crazy.

The frequency with which cameras were pressing shutter buttons skyrocketed.

He was wearing a dark blue suit today and had a stern look on his face.

Faced with the question, he looked a little hesitant.

"I have no problem with Belle's relationship."

"I've been in the best team every year and have always been striving to be in the top three for the Ballon d'Or. In the past eight years, only Messi and I have done it."

"I will play until I am 40, there is still a long time to come."

Mixed interview area.

Ibrahimovic took the pen and signed on the big sign printed with sponsors.

"pleasure!"

"Of course I feel honored to be able to see the birth of the Ballon d'Or winner up close."

"If I was born ten years later, my nickname might be Gao Qi II!"

The laughter continued.

Pogba and Balotelli passed each other.

They looked at each other deeply as if they were fools.

Hazard didn't seem to care at all who won the award. He covered his mouth and yawned, admiring the inexplicable loneliness of the opera house in winter.

Inside the opera house, the curtain slowly opened on the main stage. Gao Qi sat in a chair.

The enthusiastic and unrestrained female host, Abudu, would occasionally lean over and raise her mobile phone to take photos with him.

"So handsome, Gao."

"I work for Sky Sports Germany and a lot of girls like you, you know that?"

“Manchester is my hometown!”

"."

Gao Qi felt that this guy was even more nagging than Guardiola, but he did not show any disdain: respect the customs and culture of different regions.

Abdo did not stay long.

Female soccer stars Marta and Neuer came over again and waved their phones: "Let's take a photo together, Gao!"

The German goalkeeper has little obsession with the Ballon d'Or.

Although he is very conceited deep down.

But he believes that the World Cup title is the result of the entire German team.

CTV5 simultaneously broadcast the awards ceremony live.
-
[Abudo doesn't wear a bra, warning of protruding nipples. ]
-
[I’m getting old, and I have crow’s feet. I’m not as pretty as I was a decade ago. 】
-
[If Gao Qi wins the Golden Globe, haha, we will celebrate the New Year again! ]
-
[In the big year, Gao Qi did not participate in the World Cup and did not even have the chance to appear in the group stage, but his performance in the league and the Asian Cup was explosive, so the result is hard to predict.]
-
[It must be Gao Qi! I have prepared the wine. ]

The lights suddenly dimmed.

The curtains opened on the opera house’s main stage.

The award presenter, Piero, took a sneak peek at the small card.

Let's start by listing the best teams in the world in 2014:
"Goalkeeper: Neuer."

"Defenders: Ramos, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Lahm."

"Midfield: Iniesta, Kroos, Di Maria."

"Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Gao Qi, Messi."

The close-up shot quickly slides across the star's face.

There was thunderous applause.

Thiago Silva and David Luiz were not present to receive the award. Because, on the World Cup stage, the Samba Army was massacred by the German tanks!

Followed by.

The big screen began to play the highlights of football in 2014.

Platini picked up the microphone and became the narrator.

"The Chinese in the Champions League final."

"Van Persie's diving header."

"James Rogrides' super long shot."

"Messi's breath touches the World Cup."

"Germany celebrates passionately."

"Chinese people wrapped in red flags."

"."

The applause and cheers continued to rise and fall.

Gao Qi's figure kept appearing.

One classic photo after another awakens people's memories.

The process is very compact.

FIFA and French magazines did not seem to be worried about ratings and, in a rare move, did not deliberately delay the show.

Immediately enter the 23-man shortlist for the Golden Globe.

The figures of the stars appeared on the big screen.

"No. 10."

“The young Serie A assists king, the Premier League half-season assists king, and the European assists king of the year.”

"He made many imaginative and threatening passes on the pitch."

"Super wingman."

"Morata!"

Morata was so excited that he almost jumped out of his chair.

Facing the camera, smiling happily.

He never thought he could make the top ten of the Ballon d'Or shortlist.

Everything.

It all comes from De La Red's saying: "All roads lead to Rome."

The Eternal City.

Totti, De Rossi, Florenzi, Pjanic and other Roma players gathered in the cafeteria of the Trigoria training base.

Morata looking at the big screen.

Everyone had mixed feelings.

"It seems like Roma's victory happened just yesterday."

"It's incredible."

"Several seasons in Rome"

Thoughts drift away.

If Italy achieves good results in the 2014 World Cup, most of the players in the Roma team will probably be included in the 23-man list of candidates for the Golden Ball.

Suburbs of Rome.

Click.

The retired old man, Sabatini, silently lit a cigarette.

Smoke billows.

Time seemed to have gone back to that foggy morning.

With shaking hands, he held up an envelope.

"Damn it, this rich second-generation American boss is so wise!"

"Ninth."

"The best young midfielder in Europe. Over the past year, we have witnessed the growth of the master."

"Incredible pass success rate per game, beautiful arc that tugs at the heartstrings."

"Cross!"

"Eighth."

"The new soul of Colombia."

"One goal in the World Cup made him famous."

"No words are needed to describe the amazing sight he brought to the world in the summer."

"James Rogrides!"

"Seventh."

“A samba dancer who interprets the art of playing on the green field.”

“He plays the sexiest football in the game.”

"Neymar."

"Sixth place."

"World Cup champion captain!"

"The Soul of the German Tank!"

"The best right-back in the world, the best left-back in the world."

"Ram!"

Time passes slowly.

Thunderous applause broke out from time to time.

The spotlight flashes.

Fans around the world are increasingly looking forward to the Ballon d'Or result.

Piero was a little tired of talking.

Fortunately, for the final three players, he didn't need to read the commentary in advance.

Studio.
-
[Stupid Piero, the last three players didn't say the commentary, don't they deserve it? ]
-
[It’s like this every year. Is there still suspense if we tell you everything in advance? 】
-
[Ready! ]
-
【I hope it is Gao Qi. 】
-
[There is no Chinese fan who doesn't hope it's Gao Qi! ]
-
[Hat-trick in the Champions League final, Champions League Golden Boot, Champions League champion core, Serie A record-breaking Golden Boot, Triple Crown core, European Golden Boot, 1.5 transfer fee broke the football history record, Asian Cup champion core, Asian Cup top scorer. But he didn't participate in the World Cup! ]

The far east.

The heat from winning the Asian Cup has not dissipated.

Countless fans are waiting for the announcement of the Ballon d'Or results.

If a Chinese wins the Ballon d'Or
At last.

Henry stood center stage.

Take a deep breath.

Look at the sign.

The entire venue fell silent.

"Winner of the 2014 Ballon d'Or."

"Gao Qi!!!"
