The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 335 Never participate in the Golden Globe Awards!

The new year has arrived. After New Year's Day, Inter Milan's players have returned to the team one after another to start recovery training.

“Hey guys, have you seen that movie called The Best Offer?

Today I booked a theater at the UCI Cinema in Bicocca. If you are interested, you can go watch a movie together after training in the evening! "

Although, after negotiating with her girlfriend, this is Miriam’s big screen debut after all.

Leo thought about it again and again, and felt that he should still give this film a little support within his ability.

"It doesn't matter if you are not free tonight. I have enough movie tickets here. You can take your family to watch or give them to relatives and friends."

"Really? This is the most popular movie recently. I was originally thinking about watching it with my girlfriend!"

"Awesome! I love you Captain!"

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing that everyone was very happy, Leo was also very happy.

Turning around, it was Modric and Bale.

Turning around again, Pirlo and his wife were already having a heated exchange with Miriam.

"Great!"

In addition, he grew up in Italy, which has a strong artistic atmosphere, so compared to others present, he is indeed one who understands art and movies.

Leo also understood this very well, he smiled and nodded.

Modric's wife is already pregnant and is due in April.

"Hahahaha! No problem!"

Although Pirlo is not the second-generation rich man in Italy as rumored, he does come from a wealthy family.

Although the security in Milan cannot be said to be good, blacks, blacks and other illegal immigrants are mixed in the city center and near famous attractions. It is common for people to be stolen and robbed.

It is simply a good thing that achieves multiple things with one stone!

Of course, they were all talking about movies. After hearing a few words about this painter and that shot, Leo simply stopped going to join in the fun.

Neymar, like most Brazilian players, was born in a slum and grew up in a harsh environment accompanied by independents and gangs.

As I said before, Modric's wife Vanya is a serious top student.

Did you see that educated people are different from those ignorant football players?

Balotelli had just woken up from a deep sleep when he heard the noise. He couldn't stand it anymore after watching it for about ten minutes and fell asleep in the cinema.

Not only did he contribute some box office to his girlfriend's movie, he also organized a wave of "team building" for Inter Milan through this opportunity, which brought the relationship between teammates closer.

In that environment, football is the only way for them to change their lives.

"I can't watch this kind of movie. I prefer Spider-Man and Iron Man movies!"

"My stomach is already growling!"

I have to say that young people are good and just fall asleep.

Not to mention that after training every day, they can meet up with a few friends to have a drink and play with women, and their life is so happy.

"Captain, don't call me when you're watching movies from now on. I'll be there for you when you're eating, drinking, etc."

There is no other way, God Israel's IQ can only understand this kind of mindless popcorn superhero movie.

"Then just this once, it won't be such a good thing even if you want it in the future!"

Born in the slums, they really don't have the conditions to study, and they don't have the idea.

"Okay, I've finished watching the movie and it's getting late. Let me treat everyone to a meal."

Balotelli was so excited when The Avengers was released last year that he kept talking in Leo's ears for many days.

As for artistic accomplishment, what is it?

Compared with European players who generally finish middle school and some even go to college, Brazilian players are considered good if they can graduate from junior high school.

Football is their only way out.

It's no wonder that this midfield master seems to have an artist's touch when he moves on the court.

Then Neymar smiled and scratched his head,

Thiago Silva sighed softly, shook his head and said:

"It's so embarrassing for you. You haven't been in Italy for a long time, right? Haven't you cultivated any artistic skills?"

After joining Inter Milan, they are actually quite satisfied with their life in Milan.

Balotelli smiled innocently and didn't feel embarrassed.

"What a wonderful film. Tornatore is truly a masterful Italian director."

"Ah? Is it over?"

Modric and Bale also nodded in agreement, at least it was obvious that they had taken it into consideration.

But it's much better than Brazil.

"How about you, how did you sleep?"

Several young Brazilians nodded repeatedly.

However, when a group of people marched toward the cinema and the two-hour movie screening ended, the scene was a bit awkward.

"Hahaha, let's go eat barbecue."

"awesome!"

"Captain we love you!"

As soon as they heard about eating barbecue, the eyes of several Brazilian teenagers who were listless just a second ago suddenly lit up and they almost jumped up in excitement.

"It's great to be young."

……

At 2013:1 noon local time on January 6, , Inter Milan went away to usher in the nineteenth round of Serie A this season.

The home team Udinese performed somewhat poorly in the first half of the league.

In addition to being eliminated from the Champions League qualifying round, head coach Guidolin, who led the Black Chicken to the fourth place in Serie A last season, has been questioned a lot some time ago.

Today we face Inter Milan at home, Udinese must go all out!

But it didn't take long for Inter Milan to score the first goal in the first half.

Leo's curve ball from the wing was just right, and Balotelli only needed a slight push to complete the score.

Before half-time, there was another chance for a corner kick. Leo's pass was accurately placed, and Balotelli beat Udinese defender Danilo Lion to score with a header!

However, after the start of the second half, the home team suddenly showed strength!

Lazzari assisted veteran Di Natale and youngster Muriel to score goals, and Udinese evened the score!

But Guidolin was not satisfied with just grabbing a point from Inter Milan. After the score was tied at 2-2, the home team continued to attack.

Isn't this looking for death? Leo made a long overhead pass from a long distance. Neymar ran 40 meters away and broke into the left side of the penalty area with a powerful low shot into the net!

Three to two!

In the end, with the help of Leo, who scored a hat-trick of assists, Inter Milan narrowly defeated Udinese 3-2 in an away game!

The Nerazzurri ushered in their first victory in 2013.

Just past the halfway point of the league, the defending champion Nerazzurri continues to lead the Serie A standings undefeated!

The day after the game, that is, January 2013, 1, the 7 FIFA Awards Ceremony was held at the International Convention and Exhibition Center in Zurich, Switzerland.

There are many people visiting Inter Milan this time, not only Leo, who is competing for the Ballon d'Or, but head coach Carlo Ancelotti is also a popular candidate for the best coach.

When they arrived, they were all acquaintances. Let’s not talk about Messi and Ronaldo. Prandelli, the coach of the Italian national team who led the Azzurri to win the European Cup in the summer of 2012, gave Leo a warm hug.

"We haven't seen each other for a while, are you sure about winning the Golden Globe?"

"It's hard to say, it still depends on how the judges vote."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Prandelli patted Leo on the shoulder and went to chat with Ancelotti.

Although the two Italian coaches are competitors for Coach of the Year, there is no bad blood between them.

This award ceremony was co-hosted by the legendary Dutch star Gullit and the famous female anchor Murray.

Each annual award is presented by a legendary player.

Ignoring the rest of the awards, Prandelli, the head coach of the Italian national team, beat Ancelotti to win the honor of Men's Football Coach of the Year with the halo of the European Cup championship.

Ancelotti didn't seem to care about this result and just lightly applauded Prandelli who came to the stage to receive the award.

Later, UEFA President Platini and the famous Ukrainian star Shevchenko appeared as award presenters.

What they awarded was the award for the best team in the world in 2012.

The best goalkeeper was won by Juventus goalkeeper Buffon, and the best defenders were Barcelona's Dani Alves, Real Madrid's Marcelo, and Inter Milan's Thiago Silva and Bonucci. The three players elected as the best midfielders are Real Madrid's Xabi Alonso, Inter Milan's Leo and De Rossi.

The three best forwards are Barcelona's Messi, Inter Milan's Balotelli and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.

It is worth noting that the eleven players in the best lineup are all from La Liga and Serie A.

And except for Buffon, the other 10 people are all from the three giants: Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Although the Nerazzurri accounted for five of the eleven players, which seemed to be a lot, Leo still frowned after the result was announced.

He certainly acknowledged that all the players selected to the All-NBA team were outstanding.

However, Inter Milan won six crowns last year, and the club's performance is definitely their best.

There is no doubt about this, right?

At the same time, the Italian national team also won the European Cup, which means that the Italian international in the Inter Milan team has both the club's outstanding results and the blessing of the European Cup.

Under such circumstances, are you still unable to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona players?

This is a big competition year, are the names of Real Madrid and Barcelona so valuable?

Gee tut.

Not much to say.

From this perspective, it is really not easy for Leo, who plays for Inter Milan in Serie A, to "steal" golden goals from them continuously.

The most important presenter was Cannavaro, the former captain of the Italian national team who won the World Cup in 2006.

As a defender, Cannavaro won the FIFA Best Player and World Footballer award in 2006.

In the end, Leo defeated Ronaldo and Messi with 40.8% of the vote and became Mr. Ballon d'Or for the third consecutive year!

Leo wore a smart custom-made suit and took the stage to receive the award. The spotlight focused on him and the audience fell silent.

Smiling, he received the Ballon d'Or trophy from the hands of the national team's senior Cannavaro.

“I’m honored to win the FIFA Ballon d’Or again, it’s all unbelievable and really a surprise to me.

First of all I would like to thank all the judges who voted for me, you made a fair and correct choice.

Then I would like to thank my teammates at Inter Milan and my teammates in the Italian national team.

I could not have achieved these results without their help.

I think their performance throughout last year is also very worthy of recognition.

I'm really sorry, I'm a little nervous right now. I would also like to thank my family and my friends, as well as my coach.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who supports me, thank you. "

Leo bowed deeply to the audience, and everyone present gave him warm applause.

"Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are rivals that I and you respect, and I would be crazy if I didn't think they are one of the three best players today.

They are undoubtedly the best players in the world.

Actually there is not much competition between me and them, we are all about winning and trying to do our best. "

The camera showed Messi and Ronaldo in the audience. Their expressions were indescribable, and they both managed to smile and applaud Leo.

Things had been normal up to this point, but what Leo said next was a bit surprising.

"This is my third consecutive Ballon d'Or and the third Ballon d'Or in my career.

I really appreciate everyone's recognition of me, so here today, I would like to take this opportunity to share some true words with you.

I really want to know if in the future I can keep playing like I am now, or perform better, then this award will be mine forever?

From my personal point of view, there seems to be no reason to oppose this.

But I want to think about this from a higher level.

Is this a good thing for football and the professional game? I guess not.

If a certain player consistently occupies the highest personal honor in football year after year, this will undoubtedly be a huge disaster for all other football practitioners.

Is this a situation where young players see no hope and veterans are completely ruined? Is this what you want to see?

Not to mention whether this person really has the strength and performance to crush other competitors. Even if he does, like me, then I think winning three times is enough. "

Hearing this, the scene was already in chaos, and the reporters and guests present were in an uproar.

"What does he mean?"

"What exactly is he trying to say?"

"Oh my God, could it be..."

Leo made a quiet gesture, indicating that everyone should listen to him quietly.

"So I publicly announce here that this is my last time participating in the selection of the FIFA Ballon d'Or. I think three golden balls are enough to prove my status.

I want to give this opportunity away so that more people can have the opportunity to compete for this award.

I think this is what is good for football itself!

In particular, I promised my teammates at Inter Milan that I would do my best to help them compete for the Ballon d'Or.

And I, Leo, always do what I say! "

With a sound of "Boom!", the award ceremony venue seemed to be blown up.

"Why is he doing this?!"

"How dare he!"

It is not difficult for everyone to imagine what consequences Leo's words today will have.

After Leo withdraws, Messi and Ronaldo can of course continue to participate in the selection, but even if they win the award, they will most likely be ridiculed as someone else gave it to them.

This is very interesting. If today's words had not been said, even if Leo could not win the award in the future, it would be because he was not strong enough and could not compete with others.

But after this happened, it was completely different.

I did not participate in the selection. This shows one thing to the world,

If I, Leo, continue to run for election, then this golden ball will definitely still be mine, so I decided to give it up.

No matter who takes it later, you have to remember that I gave it up and you only have it.

The reporters were overjoyed. This was big news, so they started writing more about it.

Messi and Ronaldo looked at each other in confusion.

Before 2010, FIFA's World Player of the Year and France Football's Ballon d'Or were two separate awards.

Never in history has a player been able to win the World Footballer of the Year honor for three consecutive years.

Only Ronaldo and Zidane have won this honor twice in a row, and they are also the only two players to be elected World Footballer of the Year three times.

In the history of the Ballon d'Or, Platini is the only one who has won the Ballon d'Or three times in a row.

Two superstars, Cruyff and Van Basten, have also won this award three times.

It only took three seasons for Leo to go from being born to winning the golden ball.

By winning three consecutive Golden Balls from 2010 to 2012, Leo can be regarded as creating football history.

Regardless, he has achieved something that no one can deny.

Looking at the noisy venue, the corners of Leo's mouth curled up slightly, very good, this is the result he wanted.

Some people in FIFA may hate Leo to death, because in the end all the limelight of a grand awards ceremony was stolen by Leo.

At the end, he seemed a little embarrassed.

Facing the swarming reporters, Leo was not impatient at all.

"Why do you do this? Didn't I already say it when I received the award?

I hope the sport of football can develop better!

Messi? What does his participation have to do with me? I just announced that I will not participate in the selection in the future?

Everyone else can run for election, and I can’t control them. Why can’t I understand people’s words?

Your question is very retarded.

You journalists should also improve your knowledge and stop trying to make news through some underhanded means.

Too low end!

You may not believe it, but some shameless guys might be able to go to the United States to play football in their thirties or forties and still win the World Footballer Award. Do you think this is ridiculous?

It's really shameless. "

The reporters present only thought that Leo was talking nonsense and did not take it seriously.

"Isn't this Leo crazy?"

"It doesn't look like it. How can anyone think that he has won too many awards?"

"Perhaps he is just a noble person?"

"It's amazing!"
