Chapter 117 Golden Globe Awards, Lin Quan’s Unexpected Gain!
There is another big event during the winter break, and that is the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
On January 12, FIFA’s annual awards ceremony was held at the International Exhibition Center in Zurich, Switzerland.
Unlike the Golden Globe Award 16 years later, at this time, the Golden Globe Award is tied to FIFA's World Player of the Year.
Winning the Ballon d'Or means that you can also win the title of FIFA's World Footballer.
Therefore, compared with the Golden Globe Award in later generations, the FIFA Golden Globe Award at this time has a higher gold content.
Although he only played for half a season, Lin Quan was also nominated for his outstanding performance in the league, cup and national team games, and successfully squeezed into the 23-man roster for this year's Golden Globe Award.
However, he knew very well that since he was studying with the prince, he basically had no hope of winning a prize.
When he wins the Golden Boy Award, wins the Champions League again, or wins the World Cup, he may really have a chance to win the award.
As for now, he is just a spectator. The favorites for this year's Ballon d'Or are still the two unparalleled heroes - Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, his national team teammate Iniesta also made it into the top three with his outstanding performance in the European Cup. He is the most likely person to win the Ballon d'Or besides Melo.
Lin Quan and Guardiola came to the award ceremony together. One of them was nominated for the Ballon d'Or and the other is competing for the FIFA Best Men's Football Coach Award.
Both of them have little hope of winning the award. Lin Quan only played for half a season, and Guardiola only played for half a season.
But these two people are quite popular in the football world. After seeing them appear on the scene, reporters swarmed in and took pictures of them.
The fans at the scene also screamed, many of them shouting Lin Quan's name.
Guardiola has experienced this kind of scene frequently. He smiled at the reporter's camera and frequently waved to the fans at the scene, appearing to be at ease.
"Go sign them and don't spend too much time!"
Guardiola patted Lin Quan's shoulder, then walked to the fans holding his fan cards, took the paper and pen handed over by the fans, and began to sign autographs for them.
Lin Quan followed suit and walked to the fans and started signing autographs for them.
He currently speaks four languages, Spanish, German, English and Chinese.
Many of the fans who supported him at the scene were fans of his national team and were wearing the red uniform No. 30 of his national team.
He would speak Spanish when signing autographs for these fans.
For those club fans who came from afar and wore Werder Bremen's No. 10 green jersey, he would sign autographs in German.
As for local fans in Switzerland and European fans elsewhere, they must all sign in English.
After signing dozens of autographs, Lin Quan waved to the fans and prepared to enter the venue with Guardiola.
"Brother Lin, I am your fan, can you sign your autograph for me?"
After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a familiar language.
Lin Quan felt a little surprised, turned his head and took a look.
This is a Chinese fan with a red five-pointed star national flag sticker on his face and a Werder Bremen No. 10 jersey.
Seeing that Lin Quan didn't respond, the other party thought that he couldn't understand Chinese, so he hurriedly said in English:
"I am your fans, please give me the signature!"
Lin Quan smiled and nodded, took the signature book handed over by the other party, and neatly wrote the word "Lin Quan" in Chinese characters.
After handing the signature book to the other party, the fans were particularly surprised when they saw these two Chinese characters:
“Damn it, Emperor Lin can actually write Chinese characters!”
"No, no, I have to take a photo and post it on the forum to show off. Hehe, I got Emperor Lin's autograph!"
The corner of Lin Quan's mouth twitched slightly: Calling me Emperor Lin in front of me, is this really okay?
If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have signed an autograph for you little black guy!
Lin Quan knew about the fact that domestic netizens called him Emperor Lin more than a month ago.
Although he doesn't often browse domestic forums and forums, when he occasionally wins a competition and is in a good mood, he can't help but go to forums and forums to read the posts praising himself for fun.
As a result, I saw myself being crowned with the title of 'Emperor'...
…
Lin Quan finished signing and was about to go find Guardiola.
Unexpectedly, Guardiola ran away long ago. He met a few familiar old friends and thought about chatting with them. While chatting, he forgot about Lin Quan outside. He and his friends went directly into the venue.
This was Lin Quan's first time on such an occasion, and he was completely unfamiliar with this place. He was stuck in place for a while, not knowing where to go.
The reporters at the scene were very surprised. Why didn't Lin Quan enter the venue for so long?
Fortunately, another player came at this time to help him out.
The person who came was none other than Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the greatest twins.
As soon as Ronaldo got out of the car, he saw Lin Quan standing outside. He thought he was waiting for him specially.
So he stepped forward and reached out to shake hands with the other person.
Well……
Lin Quan didn't expect Ronaldo to be so enthusiastic, but he reacted quickly and quickly reached out his hand.
The scene of the two shaking hands attracted most of the reporters at the scene. They picked up their cameras and video cameras to record this historic scene.
This is probably the first photo taken of Lin Quan and Ronaldo on a formal occasion, right?
It's a pity that they were wearing suits instead of jerseys. It would have been better if both of them were wearing jerseys.
After shaking hands, Ronaldo nodded to Lin Quan, waved to the reporters and fans at the scene, and walked straight to the venue.
call!
Seeing the other party's choice, Lin Quan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Ronaldo didn't stop outside to sign autographs for the fans at the scene, otherwise he would have had to wait awkwardly aside for a while.
Following Ronaldo's footsteps, Lin Quan walked through the entrance corridor and walked into the huge venue.
Just like outside, it was also crowded inside, with many people coming.
But the difference is that most of them are celebrities in the football world who have received invitations, including reporters, players, coaches and officials from various national football associations.
He knew a lot of people here, but others might not know him, and Lin Quan didn't bother to strike up a conversation.
He continued to follow Ronaldo's footsteps and came to the players' seating area, found a seat at the back and sat down.
Ronaldo sat in the front row, and there was an empty seat next to him. This seat belonged to Messi.
Not long after Lin Quan sat down, national team teammates Iniesta, Xavi and Cesc Fabregas appeared one after another.
After seeing him sitting in the back, I also chose to sit here.
For a time, this corner that had received little attention became star-studded, attracting the attention of many people.
"Lin, why did you come so early? We were discussing whether we should call you and appear together!"
"Yes, those of us who study with the prince have to appear together to attract the attention of reporters. Otherwise, no one will take pictures of us!"
Xiaofa made a joke, and everyone laughed after hearing it.
Although they were both nominated for the Golden Globe Awards, none of them felt they had any chance of winning.
They came to the event just to enjoy themselves and watch others win prizes.
However, given their reputation, it would be obviously an exaggeration to say that no reporters took photos of them.
"Who do you think will be the winner of this year's Golden Globe Award?"
While chatting, the topic naturally returned to the issue of ownership of the Golden Globe Award.
They themselves have no hope, but they all hope that their teammates can win the trophy.
"Needless to say, of course it's Messi!"
"I also think it should be Messi. Lin, you may not know how crazy he is this year in the Bundesliga!"
"Leo scored 91 goals this year, breaking Gerd Muller's world record!"
"91 goals, I'm afraid I will never score so many goals in my life!"
Everyone feels horrified just thinking about this number, let alone completing it in a competition.
"But it's hard to say, Cristiano Ronaldo performed well in the league and the Champions League, and they won the league championship last season. We only have one Copa del Rey championship, which is far behind in terms of gold content!"
The peerless twins have performed very well in the past few years. Messi scored 91 goals in a year. The number of goals is indeed the highest among all the others, but he is relatively lacking in honors.
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored more than 20 fewer goals than Messi, but he has one more league trophy and has an advantage over Messi in terms of honors.
"Please, that's a world record. How many people can break this kind of record?"
Fascination had an incredible expression on his face: "I'll put my words here, if Messi doesn't win the Ballon d'Or, I'll eat this chair!"
He pointed to the empty seat beside him and vowed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Messi appeared at the scene, sat in the empty seat next to Fabregas, and asked curiously:
"What are you talking about?"
…
The awards ceremony soon began, hosted by Gullit, the former World Footballer and one of the Dutch Three Musketeers, and Kay Murray, the beautiful host of Fox Sports.
The first award announced is the 2012 Best Team.
The best goalkeeper of the year was won by Real Madrid and Spanish goalkeeper Casillas.
The back line was surrounded by Alves, Pique, Ramos and Marcelo from Barcelona and Real Madrid.
The midfield combination is Xavi Alonso, Xavi and Iniesta.
All three of these players are from Real Madrid and Barcelona.
In the past few years, the strength of the two Western Premier League teams has indeed been impressive. At least the lineup is more luxurious than other giants.
The best forward combination was awarded to Messi, Falcao and Ronaldo.
These three have all made great achievements in their respective clubs and national teams in the past year, scoring a lot of goals!
After the best team of the year, the next award is the best coach of the year.
For the women's football team, the best coach was won by Pia Sandhaj, the head coach of the US women's football team.
On the men's football side, Spanish coach Del Bosque beat Mourinho and Guardiola to win this award.
Guardiola was sitting next to Bosque. After seeing the old coach win the award, he immediately applauded him.
As for the crazy Mourinho, although he received the invitation, he did not attend the award ceremony.
Then the FIFA President's Award, Fair Play Award, Miss World Football and so on were awarded.
Lin Quan was like a ruthless applause machine. When he saw someone coming to the stage to receive an award, he would applaud along with the audience.
It wasn't until the next round of award presentations that he finally couldn't be a ruthless applause machine anymore.
When the annual Puskas Award was announced, he found that his goal against Bayern in the Telecom Cup round was selected into the final three candidates for competition.
The wonderful scene of this goal was played on the big screen at the scene. I saw the young man in the green jersey dribbling the ball on the wing like lightning, passing four players in a row, knocking down the opponent's defender and the opponent's goalkeeper. , single-handedly completed this incredible goal.
After seeing this goal, the spectators at the scene had incredible expressions on their faces.
This was not a goal scored against some weak team. The opponent was the powerful Bayern Munich, the runner-up in the Champions League last season.
This kind of dribbling and scoring only exist in novels, but I didn't expect that someone could actually accomplish it on the field.
Thinking of this, they all applauded Lin Quan.
Several national team teammates around Lin Quan, including Barcelona's number one star Messi, also applauded Lin Quan at this time.
Although I have seen this goal several times before, Messi still seemed a little incredible when I saw it again.
This kid is really capable of surpassing others. He feels like he is no longer inferior to him.
With this goal, Lin Quan defeated Neymar and Falcao and won the Puskas Award.
Lin Quan was a little surprised. He walked up to the podium, received the trophy from Colombian legend Carlos Valderrama, and gave an acceptance speech:
“Thank you to those who voted for me and supported me, I’m honestly surprised to receive this award.”
Although he defeated Neymar and Falcao in the competition, Lin Quan was not proud.
Falcao's sideways volley was extremely difficult. There were not many players who could complete such an action and score the ball. If he won the award with this goal, Lin Quan would be convinced.
As for Neymar, the goal he scored against five players in the Brazilian League was equally exciting, but because the opponent was weaker, it was not as valuable as Lin Quanquan's goal against Bayern.
The audience at the scene laughed when they heard his words. A strong but humble player can easily win the favor of passers-by.
Some people who knew about his relationship with Guardiola looked at Guardiola at this time. Guardiola has always been known for his humility.
It is not surprising that the children he taught have such character.
"Haha, Lin Quan is very humble, but I think he is a bit too humble. In fact, he also scored two equally wonderful goals, which made it difficult for our judges to choose."
Seeing Lin Quan being so humble and low-key, Gullit interjected:
"In the match between Werder Bremen and Bayern, Lin Quan also scored two goals that were also very exciting, even more exciting than this!"
The live camera showed Bayern club manager Uli Hoeness, who was attending the award ceremony, looking a little embarrassed.
He recalled carefully that Lin Quan scored goals in all three games against Bayern, and every goal was exciting.
This is very embarrassing!
Why are we, Bayern, always the ones injured?
The backstage staff also cooperated and played Lin Quan's six goals against Bayern on the big screen.
Sure enough, as Gullit said, Lin Quan's goal in the sixth round of the Bundesliga and the just-concluded third round of the German Cup were both wonderful, not inferior to the award-winning players. That ball.
Wait, this kid scored 6 goals in three games against Bayern? Average 2 goals per game?
That's Bayern!
Everyone thought of a terrible thing, and the eyes they looked at Lin Quan began to change.
From this moment on, they all have a consensus: they can no longer treat Lin Quan as a seventeen-year-old young player!
