Chapter 522 Golden Globe Awards

David didn't know how Florentino was feeling now, maybe he was very happy, maybe he was very depressed!

Of course, there is still a long time before the Champions League 1/8 finals. After the draw is over, this page can be completely turned. Notts County's attention still has to return to the league.

However, for Villa, it is close to the most important moment of his career, and the selection of the European Ballon d'Or is about to begin.

Since more than two months ago, Notts County has joined hands with many sponsors to start building momentum for Villa. At this point, Shevchenko, who is also considered to have a certain chance of stability, is far from reaching the exposure of Villa. , seems to have fallen behind from the starting line.

In fact, in the list of candidates previously announced by "French Football", Notts County is undoubtedly the biggest gainer. Among the 50 players, Notts County occupies a full 6 places, ranking first among all clubs
Villa, Deco, Alonso, Robben, Carvalho, Ram, these are the 6 Notts County players who have qualified for the selection. Duh, that number will go up to eight.

This is also the best compliment to Notts County's outstanding performance last season. The influence brought by the Premier League champions and the UEFA Cup champions is unparalleled. You must know that the UEFA Cup last season was claimed to be more luxurious than the Champions League!

The Champions League champion Monaco has only two players named Giuly and Morientes, while the UEFA Cup runner-up Valencia has four players selected, which can be seen.

However, most of these 50 candidate players are just here to show their appearance, and in the end they are just the role of accompanying the prince to study. In fact, there are only a few players who really have a chance to be stable.

Previously, according to media predictions, only Shevchenko and Villa really had a chance to win this honor. The rest, whether Deco, Ronaldinho, or even Henry and Giuly, were just running with them.

The selection rules for the European Ballon d'Or are as follows. Senior journalists from the sports media of UEFA's 52 member states serve as judges. Each judge lists five names, and the players listed get 5-1 points in order. Rank according to the score.

On the evening of December 12th, David and Villa came to France. Originally, Loew should also be present on this occasion, but because the day of the awards ceremony happened to be the league match between Notts County and Arsenal, so Loew could only Choosing to lead the team to the game, it is impossible for him to miss such an important league.

"Are you nervous?" David sat on the sofa in the hotel and found that Villa beside him seemed a little absent-minded.

Villa turned his head and looked at David a little puzzled, "Why are you nervous?"

This time it was David's turn to be stunned. If he were Villa, he would be so nervous that his clothes would be soaked, but Villa still seemed heartless. , Are some people born with such a big heart?
Seeing David's expression, Villa seemed to understand something, and asked David with a sly smile: "Don't you know the selection process of the European Golden Globe Awards?"

What does it mean?
David didn't understand what Villa was talking about!
This time, Villa really understood. It turned out that his chairman really didn't know the specific process, otherwise, how could he ask such an amateur question!
"Don't you know that although the results of the Ballon d'Or were announced at the awards ceremony, in the previous week, Erno, the editor-in-chief of "French Football", would personally present the awards to the winners, take pictures, and then prepare for the routine. long interview?"

David shook his head blankly. He really didn't know this. That is to say, the winner of the Golden Globe already knew that he had won the award a week ago?
Did Villa win or not?

I haven't heard of Villa's interview with "French Football" before. It seems that Villa missed the Ballon d'Or?
David felt extremely frustrated. He had done so much work before, but in the end it was nothing. Eastern European stars really have a huge advantage.

"It's okay, we didn't win the award this time, we have another time, you are young, you have to play on the court for another ten years, there will always be a time for you to win the award!" Although David felt uncomfortable, but Thinking that it should be Villa who is feeling more uncomfortable now, he comforted him softly.

Villa burst out laughing, with an exaggerated expression, which made David feel very ignorant.

After Villa's explanation, David realized how much trouble he had made.

Now the award ceremony of the European Ballon d'Or is simply not like the later FIFA Ballon d'Or, where the candidates are present and the results are announced on the spot.

Candidates who will not be notified, which means they do not receive an award, do not need to come to France at all.

Since Villa came to the award show, it means that he has already won the award!

"Hey, what a shame, I thought you were out of action!" David blushed and said embarrassingly.

Finally, the hard work was not in vain. Villa lived up to expectations and won the European Ballon d'Or. This is also the first European Footballer of the Year from Notts County. David feels that all his efforts have not been in vain.

Attending the award ceremony the next day, David had no choice but to watch the live broadcast in the hotel. When Villa took over the trophy symbolizing the highest honor from Erno, David really felt like crying down!
"When I started playing football, I wanted to be the top player in the world and dreamed that one day I would be able to achieve what I am today. Now, with the Ballon d'Or trophy in my hands, it feels so dreamy. I am so excited that I don't even know what to say. What would be good!"

"This honor does not belong to me. I would like to thank the chairman of Notts County, Mr. Paves, my coach, Mr. Love, and my teammates in Notts County. This Golden Globe trophy belongs to Notts County. Everyone!"

At the awards ceremony, Villa didn't say much, and it's not suitable for this occasion to say too many sensational things, but at the press conference after the awards ceremony, Cucurbita confided in front of reporters.

"More than three seasons ago, when Mr. Purves came to Spain to persuade me to join Notts County, a third-tier league team in England, I even thought that this person was crazy, but he did. Finally convinced me to join Notts County, I still remember what he said to me, come on, let's create a miracle together, but I didn't expect that the miracle was really created by us, we successfully all the way from League Two Playing in the Premier League, we even won the Premier League championship unbelievably, and the UEFA Cup two consecutive championships, everything seems like a dream! I like this club, I have won the highest personal honor here, I hope I can be in the Play here until retirement!"
