It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 171 169 Guardiola: I want to pass the ball to Charles (daily transition)
After watching TV, Charles went back to his bedroom to sleep.

It’s almost the end of the year and there are so many things going on that it can be said that almost everything is happening at the same time.

Tomorrow is the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

But Jacques is still playing today, so he hasn't come over yet;

Angel did come from Ajaccio, but she is still in Benedetto, and the two of them will come together tomorrow.

The next morning, Charles had just come downstairs when he saw the two busy people in the living room.

"Charles, you're awake, come and have breakfast."

Ange put down the tie in his hand, and Jacques walked over quickly as if he was liberated.

"What do you think of this year's Golden Globe Awards?"

Ciel shook his head. "I don't think there's much hope."

Messi is the favorite for this year's Ballon d'Or, and rightfully so.

In addition, there are too many people selected from Barcelona, ​​and he, Xavi, Iniesta and others will split the votes among themselves.

The most crucial point is that he joined Barcelona midway and had too little time playing in the top league.

He was already very happy to be nominated for the Golden Globe Award.

After all, he is only 19 years old now.

Ange brought out another bowl of soup from the kitchen.

"It's incredible. Just think about it, a year ago, you said you would not play football anymore, but now you have been nominated for the Ballon d'Or."

Jacques nodded and served Charles a bowl of soup.

"No matter what, you are our pride."

Ange and Jacques said with a smile.

After eating, I rested at home for a while.

At noon, Ang couldn't sit still anymore and started holding one set of clothes after another, urging the two to start trying on clothes.

Charles couldn't tell either, because the suits were similar in style and all black, but Ange could tell they were different.

After changing clothes and adding a bunch of accessories, and after everything was packed, the group set off for the Chatelet Theater in Paris.

When the Théâtre du Chatelet opened to the public in 1862, it was the largest theatre in Paris.

Here, performance art transcends time.

In 1913, the ballet "The Rite of Spring" staged at the Chatelet Theater even marked a turning point in the history of music and dance.

But precisely because its history is so ancient, it brings up some other problems.

For example, there is a risk of collapse at any time.

Laporta was socializing everywhere with a smile on his face.

Of the 30 players nominated for the Ballon d'Or, 14 are from La Liga.

Among the top 10 teams, La Liga took up 7 seats, and 7 of them were from Barcelona.

This is also the only good news for him during this period of time.

As the presidential election is inevitable, Barcelona has entered a turbulent period.

Now, because of Russell's campaign, he has become a controversial figure in major media pages many times for non-competitive reasons.

After finally settling the "spy gate" scandal, the next thing to come was an emotional lawsuit with a former female club employee.

After finishing this, Barcelona will immediately face the national derby.

He was so happy because he won, but the next day the news of him partying all night was in the newspapers again.

Before the above issue was resolved, a bigger landmine exploded.

The incident in which his agent Tutumulu demanded a huge sum of 100 million euros from the Barcelona president has once again made him the focus of media attention.

Now he just hopes that this year's Golden Globe Award can quickly divert all the attention and eyes focused on him.

Under the guidance of his predecessors, Charles paid a lot of visits to football bosses before the official start of the event.

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony officially began at 6 pm.

Of course, the Ballon d'Or ceremony doesn't just include the Ballon d'Or, there are other awards as well.

Charles, Messi and Ronaldo went backstage early.

They are candidates for this year's Golden Globe Awards and need to show their faces at the opening.

"Now the world is focusing on the three candidates for the Ballon d'Or."

"The first is Charles Lee from France, who won the 2008-2009 La Liga Championship and the 2009 Champions League trophy!"

Charles walked out from the backstage with a smile on his face. After shaking hands with the two hosts, he stood there and greeted the guests in the audience.

"Charles' main achievement in being selected this time is his performance in La Liga and the Champions League. In major competitions, he often has amazing performances."

"His start and fame may be a late bloomer compared to other players, because other players have already become famous at a very young age."

"But Charles was selected as one of the top three in the Ballon d'Or in his first year of fame. It can only be said that if he didn't make any noise, he would have made a big splash."

The host on the stage smiled, looked at the script, and continued:
"Next is Cristiano Ronaldo from Portugal, who won the 2008-2009 Premier League title and led Manchester United to the 2009 Champions League final!"

Ronaldo walked out from the backstage in high spirits and stood next to Charles.

"He was also the Ballon d'Or winner last year."

The two men are of similar height.

"Finally, also from Barcelona, ​​winner of the La Liga and Champions League titles, Lionel Messi from Argentina!"

Messi lowered his head and shyly pretended to tidy up his clothes, then walked to Ronaldo and looked at Charles with his hands behind his back.

Although he has come here many times, he is still not used to it.

"In the more than 50 years since the Ballon d'Or was established, there has never been an Argentine player who has won this award."

"Four years ago, the budding Messi was selected for the first time on the 50-man Ballon d'Or shortlist."

"At the time, no one realized that this name, which seemed to be chosen just by luck because the list was too large, would appear in the top three of the Ballon d'Or for three consecutive years."

"These are the three candidates for this year's Ballon d'Or."

"Charles, Ronaldo, Messi."

Then came the Puskas Award.

After Charles, Messi and Ronaldo stepped down from the stage, they returned to the backstage again. At the same time, there were 8 other players in the backstage besides them.

The history of the Puskas Award can be said to be relatively short.

This is the award that Blatter proposed after visiting the Puskas Football Academy in Budapest, Hungary on October 10 this year.

It’s been less than two months at most.

Moreover, this award is not selected by professional judges, but by voting by fans around the world. The one with the highest number of votes will receive the Puskas Award of that year.

Charles did not have high expectations for this award.

There is still too little time for him to officially appear in front of fans around the world.

"Now we come to the Puskás Award for the best goal."

As the host finished speaking, the celebration of the best goal selected began to play on the big screen.

As the short celebration video ended, Iniesta's portrait and name immediately appeared on the screen.

After a flash, there was a video of Iniesta's goal in the game.

As Charles' name and portrait flashed on the big screen, Charles also saw the video of the selected goal.

It was in the 2009 Champions League knockout match when Barcelona faced Bayern Munich at home. Charles scored a goal after "falling over" against Altintop.

“This goal is simply magical.”

"Charles always has different colors when handling the ball, and we can often see wonderful goals in his games."

"And many of the goals, such as the 'Nine Five Supreme' last season, are talked about with great relish."

Finally, here is Ronaldo’s video.

The video has finished playing, and the next step is the first highlight of this award ceremony.

"Next, here is the best 2009 players of 11."

"The FIFA Best Team was established and selected by the International Professional Footballers' Union since 2005."

"Every year, the International Professional Football Association is elected by vote of its approximately 5 members from all over the world in their respective associations."

"This best 11 players are the 11 players who can form the most perfect team this year. I can't imagine what it would be like when these 11 players appear on a team."

"First up is the goalkeeper of the eleven, let us welcome Igor Casillas."

After hearing his name, Casillas straightened his clothes and walked out with the caddy.

"Casillas, although not very tall among goalkeepers, is still a solid choice for Real Madrid and Spain thanks to his quick reaction time." "Next is the defender in the best 11."

Evra, Vidic, Terry and Alves came out from behind one by one, holding the hands of the caddies.

Seeing fewer and fewer people on the field, Charles gradually became nervous.

"Then, our midfielders."

"Iniesta, Xavi, Charles!"

After hearing their names, the three of them smiled at each other and walked out from the backstage at the same time.

Charles held his caddy's hand and looked at the golden lights on the stage. For the first time, he thought that this color was quite beautiful.

"The best 11 midfielders were all from Barcelona."

"In fact, different leagues have different special players."

"Just like the Italian league has great left-backs, Portugal is rich in fast wingers, such as Quaresma and Simao, and Germany has the header master, the Golden Bomber."

"Then Spain is rich in midfielders, especially Barcelona, ​​which is good at cultivating midfield masters."

"For example, La Masia's number four position is very famous, and Guardiola was an excellent number four player when he was a player."

"Although Charles is not Spanish, he has become a very good midfielder after being guided and trained by Guardiola."

Charles took the trophy from the presenter and walked to the center of the stage.

Jacques and Ange watched the scene on the field with satisfaction.

"Finally, let's invite the best 11 forwards."

"Cristiano Ronaldo, Torres, Messi."

"Two of the three play in La Liga, but Torres is also Spanish."

“La Liga accounts for a very large proportion this time.”

"Okay, now let's see, the best lineup this time is 433."

After all the people come out, it is not over yet.

The host walked up to Charles with a smile on his face and handed the microphone to the caddy in front of him.

Nothing else, only Charles's face is the newest here.

"Kid, what's your name?"

The caddie in front of Charles happily took the microphone, "Eames Bodong!"

"So do you have any questions for Ciel?"

The kid nodded, "Yes," then looked at Charles, "Why did you choose football instead of golf?"

The host handed the microphone to Charles with a smile.

"That's because my home is near the sea. If a football is kicked into the sea by accident, it can be retrieved, but a golf ball cannot be found."

Ciel said seriously.

The whole audience burst into cheerful laughter.

After the best eleven segment ended, the entire ceremony continued.

Soon, the second climax of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony came again.

"We will now be showing a video about the story of 2009 Ballon d'Or candidate Cristiano Ronaldo."

"This outstanding player comes from Funchal on the island of Madeira. Just like the beautiful scenery of Madeira, Cristiano Ronaldo is also constantly writing his own beautiful and legendary story."

Next is the video of Ronaldo’s story.

Charles was fascinated.

If the Korean Shinbo video could be half as good as this one, it might be able to get 50 votes and wouldn't have to give away kimchi everywhere.

As the video finished playing, Charles quickly reacted.

This is a video of the Ballon d'Or nominees, and he is one of the three. Doesn't that mean he is also among them? !

Such an occasion is not very suitable for communication. Charles just wanted to communicate with Messi, who had come many times, but after patting Messi, he gave up this plan.

In Messi's puzzled eyes, Charles quietly turned his head to the left, and unexpectedly met Ronaldo's eyes.

Ronaldo smiled confidently.

Ciel nodded in response, but eventually looked away.

Fortunately, what followed was not the video of the next candidate, but the UEFA President's Award.

This award is not given exclusively to the President.

The award is presented to legendary celebrities who have achieved brilliant achievements in their careers and whose professional qualities are admired by everyone. It can be called the "Lifetime Achievement Award."

This time the winner is Eusebio, the glory of Benfica, Portugal, Europe and Africa.

But what is coming will come, and after the UEFA President's Award, there will be a video of the Ballon d'Or winners.

Amid the exciting music, Charles, wearing the national team uniform, took the ball from his teammate, wiped it with his clothes with a serious look, and put it on the ground.

As the referee blew the whistle, Charles' penalty kick pace in the video slowed down from slow to normal times.

"boom!"

The moment the ball flew up, it was like a sharp sword, directly cutting through the goalkeeper Stojkovic's neck.

A sword seals the throat.

The whole stadium suddenly went from silence to boiling, and the stands cheered like a tsunami, with only one person's name being shouted.

"Ciel!!!"

The shouting gradually faded away, and a picture of Ciel as a child appeared on the screen.

"Compared to the others, Charles, who comes from Napoleon's hometown, is more like a mortal."

"Charle, who also comes from an island, did not show any special talent when he was young."

"He has always been by his father's side, patiently serving as a substitute, drawing strength from time and growing slowly as the sun rises and the moon sets and the grass grows and the birds fly."

"It wasn't until 2008 that Ajaccio had to persuade Charles to withdraw due to the financial crisis."

"But no one knew that at that moment, the gears of fate would start turning."

"Charlotte followed his father to a distant land and started a new journey in life."

"The moment he arrived at Benedo, Charles had finally caught up with the starting line of genius after more than ten years of running and endurance."

"Perhaps it is because of this that Ciel never dares to waste his time and cherishes his career even more."

"He doesn't go to nightclubs or bars. After the game, he doesn't party all night with his teammates. Instead, he goes home and watches TV quietly."

The photo of Charles slowly shrank and eventually became a photo in Ange's hand.

"When Charlie was a kid, I didn't want him to play football."

"Because three years before he was born, Jacques had to retire because of a malicious foul on the court."

"When he was little, he often played football with other kids and also played golf. Later I asked him if he wanted to become a golfer.

"He said, 'Mom, I want to play football.'

Charles' goal highlights appeared on the screen again.

"In 2008, I wanted to take him to Benedetto, and he lowered his head and said that he would not play football otherwise, because I was originally a coach in Ligue , and Benedetto was in the fourth tier at the time."

"Then we thought we'd give him another go because he's loved football for so many years."

Jacques said with emotion.

The scene changed and Guardiola appeared in front of the camera with a smile on his face.

Because apart from Jacques, the only club coach for Charr has been Guardiola.

"He's a great boy, he's serious about training, he's gentle and humble."

"Honestly, I'm lucky to be his coach and I can always say I coached him."

"He's a unique player."

"Sometimes, when I see him dribbling the ball and shooting on the field, besides being happy, I also feel a little regretful."

"I met Charles when he was 18, but I didn't meet him when I was 18."

"If I had met him at 18 when I was 18, and I had passed the ball to him, it would have been a wonderful experience."

"But people can't be too greedy. I feel very happy to be his coach."

"After all, there are only three people who can own Ciel now."

Guardiola said with a smile.
