It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 312 Golden Ball Feast (I)

“Now is the time to get really excited, let’s welcome Charles Lee!”

The audience burst into warm applause again, and Charles walked out from the backstage with a smile on his face.

All the audience members looked over.

Charles could see emotions such as joy, envy, regret and dissatisfaction on these familiar or unfamiliar faces.

Of course, the dissatisfaction was mainly concentrated on Russell's face.

"Very inspiring speech and admirable spirit. In the past year, you have created many incredible miracles. People's descriptions of your performance often seem very thin. Can you describe to us why you can do this?"

After the female host finished speaking, Charles also picked up the microphone.

“All this is inseparable from the cooperation of the team. Whether it is Chelsea or the national team, I have received a lot of support and help. It is because of this that we can achieve such achievements.”

Abu couldn't stop laughing.

He has already started thinking about how much bonus to give to Chelsea employees and how grand the celebration ceremony will be.

It continues on stage.

However, this time the questioner was a male host.

"What's even more impressive is that you've had so many serious injuries in the past, but you've always bounced back. Although you rarely say this, it must have been a very difficult time. I'm sure everyone here, and of course the audience watching the live broadcast, wants to know how you get through the day when you're injured."

Many eyes were looking towards Russell.

Russell adjusted his posture, pretending not to feel the mocking, scrutinizing, or sneering eyes around him.

Damn it, how can this guy Charles survive this?

It's just staying in hospitals all over Barcelona, ​​eating and drinking, and watching TV when you wake up.

Charles didn't pay attention to Roselle's mental activities. In fact, he didn't care.

"It was really painful when I was injured. Sometimes my teammates would come to the hospital to see me, tell me jokes and tell me not to worry;"

"If the injury is serious and the recovery time is long, I will often go to Pep's house for dinner."

"When I can do recovery training at the training base, we also do various activities, such as wheelchair football competitions, rugby games, and sometimes we let coaches become players and players become coaches to organize football games..."

"There's also playing cards and researching special foods, but the last one has to be done secretly, and Pep can't find out, or else you'll have to run in circles."

"All in all, I was pretty active when I was injured."

Guardiola had a nostalgic look on his face.

Almost all Barcelona fans began to recall that time.

The expression on Russell's face became increasingly difficult to control.

Look, this guy Charles is gone, and all the Barcelona people still miss him, even though he is often injured, they still miss him.

Is this Barcelona Charles’ sanatorium or his Roselle club?
"I'm very happy that you were able to overcome the injury and provide us with so many wonderful moments this year. If possible, I hope you can stay healthy."

"Thank you," Charles returned the microphone to the host and walked quickly towards the audience.

It has to be said that FIFA is very good at whetting appetite. The most important Golden Ball awards ceremony must be divided into several segments and inserted between other events.

After Charles returned to his seat, the host immediately announced the start of the next segment.

Best international women's football coach.

This year's three candidates are:
Germany's U20 national team coach Maren Meinert.

Ned, the German national team coach, is also from Germany.

and Pia, the US team coach from Sweden.

Two of the three candidates for this year's Miss World are from Germany, so Charles feels that this year's best women's football coach should also be one of the two German coaches.

Ned is more likely than Maren Meinert.

After showing the highlights of the three candidates' team performances on the big screen, two award presenters walked onto the stage with envelopes.

"The winner of the 2010 Women's Football Coach of the Year is -- German Women's National Team Coach: Ned!"

After Ned received the award, it was soon time to present the awards to the candidates for the best men's football coach.

The three candidates are French national team coach Domenegue, Real Madrid coach Mourinho and Guardiola.

As the opening credits flashed by, the stadium's speakers immediately began to hum with the unique cheers and shouts of a stadium.

Guardiola, standing on the sidelines, was dancing and giving instructions excitedly.

The screen went dark, and an excited Mourinho kept clapping his hands, trying to boost the morale of the team;
After the smooth transition, Domenegue paced back and forth on the sidelines with an anxious look on his face.

The images of the three candidates were played in just a few seconds, and soon it was time for someone to introduce them.

As Guardiola's full name sounded in the voice-over, the scene instantly switched to Guardiola, who was seen on the sidelines with one hand on Charles' shoulder and one hand pointing at the field, while speaking eloquently;

The next scene finally lost Charles and became a one-man show by Guardiola.

Guardiola raised his hands and drew two circles in the air, not knowing what he was indicating.
The scene changed again, and Guardiola walked from the left to the right, then turned to look at the camera, tilted his head and pointed at his eye sockets.

The situation on the field changed suddenly, and Charles overtook the opponent and scored the goal.
The scene of the game did not repeat itself. The next second, the entire big screen was filled with red and blue fireworks, and Barcelona won the league championship.
The fireworks didn't stop, and the next second, Barcelona won the King's Cup;

The cheers continued as Barcelona lifted the Champions League title once again.

Guardiola's footage finally finished playing.

Mourinho's name began to be heard in the narration.

Completely different conducting techniques, but equally passionate and wonderful performances and pictures.

Sneijder on the field sent the ball into the goal, and Mourinho jumped up excitedly;

Also amidst the fireworks, Mourinho affectionately kissed the Serie A championship trophy. The screen went dark again, and Mourinho and the players excitedly raised the cup championship.

The next second, Mourinho was thrown high into the air by Inter Milan players.

Domenegue's heart was pounding as he finally got his own introduction.

The same editing pattern, as Charles on the field sent the ball into the goal, Domeneg jumped excitedly on the assistant coach;
After the excitement, Domenegue paced back and forth on the sidelines, without saying a word or giving any orders, but just looking anxiously at the field.

As the camera turned, the French team launched another attack. Charles on the left accurately lifted the ball to the middle, and Benzema headed the ball into the goal in the penalty area.

Domenegue clapped his hands again, the screen went dark, and as Charles, who was in the center, counted down to three, two, one, and the moment he raised the World Cup trophy, the sky was filled with fireworks. In the star rain, Domenegue in the screen burst into tears.

Ned's mother pushed up her glasses and asked in a low voice, somewhat unsurely, "The youngest Golden Globe winner appeared in both the first and last candidate screens, right?"

Ned did not correct his mother, but nodded seriously. "That young man is called Charles, and he is only 20 years old. The first one was his former club coach, and the third one was his former national team coach."

"That's amazing. What about the second one?" "The second one is a friend of his club coach."

On the field.

The award presenter did not leave, but also opened an envelope.

"The winner of the 2010 Men's Football Coach of the Year is Pep Guardiola!"

As the presenter announced the answer, Mourinho, who was sitting next to him, quickly made way to allow Guardiola and the people around him to hug each other.

After the hug, Guardiola walked onto the stage with a beaming smile on his face that he couldn't suppress.

"Although this is the first selection of the best coach, the competition is fierce. This award, no matter who it is given to, is well deserved."

"Both Jose and Domenegue have achieved extraordinary results in the past year."

"Maybe this time it was awarded to me because I won the Champions League twice. Some people say this time it was with Charles and another time with Lee."

"I think that's quite right. Without the hard work of the players, there wouldn't be anything like what we have now."

"Cruyff once told me that playing football is simple, but playing simple football is difficult. I am very grateful to my former players for allowing me to play so many simple football games in the past."

"I am also very grateful to Laporta, Vilanova and other people in the club at that time for their support. Without their help, we would not have been so successful along the way;"

"Finally, I want to thank my family members. Without your company, all of this would be meaningless."

"Thank you."

Fortunately, the host next to him was professionally trained, otherwise he would have laughed out loud.

Thank you to everyone. Whoever is left out will be embarrassed.

Who else could be the most embarrassed person at the scene except the wise and brave Roselle?

Charles clapped vigorously in the audience.

Afraid that the applause wasn’t loud enough.

After finishing his acceptance speech, Guardiola walked off the stage with the trophy in a happy mood.

Mourinho once again made way for Guardiola to walk in.

"Why, you haven't come out yet?"

Guardiola handed the trophy to the child to play with, and looked at Mourinho in confusion, "What haven't you come out of yet?"

Mourinho laughed and said, "Would you like to come to Real Madrid and be my assistant coach? I can find a way to recruit your favorite student."

"Get lost. If you can't beat me in the national derby 5-0, don't drag me along. I won't go to Real Madrid."

Guardiola said, leaning back in his chair.

"Hey," Mourinho patted him on the shoulder, "where are you going? I heard you're going to Manchester City. Mancini is having a big fight in the dressing room and seems to be in trouble. Do you want to go and make amends, or wait until the summer transfer window?"

"No," Guardiola said glumly.

Mourinho was not giving up. "Really? And Hazard, I think he's pretty good, and he looks OK too. I wonder if he's willing to come to Real Madrid..."

Guardiola finally turned around and said, "I warned you not to go after Eden... Well, I'll treat you to a meal later, too."

"Don't want to eat hamburgers?" Mourinho laughed.

"If you want to eat, go to Inter Milan," Guardiola patted his clothes, "It's Zurich's specialty, grilled white sausages, Zurich veal, cheese hot pot, golden potato pancakes, and some chocolate."

While chatting and laughing, the videos of the second candidates for the men's and women's football Golden Ball Awards were also played.

This year's Fair Play Award was then presented to the Haitian Football Association.

"Voting for the Puskas Award closes soon."

"Let's count down together: ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one."

"Okay, now the voting time is over. We are counting and verifying the final votes. In the meantime, let's take a look at the video of the third candidate for the Women's Ballon d'Or and the video of the third candidate for the Men's Ballon d'Or."

Charles sat with Xavi and Iniesta.

The three of them watched and discussed quietly.

There is no way, in the game screen of three people, the opponent's figure will always appear in some corner of the screen.

"Do you remember which game this was, Harvey?"

Harvey rested his chin on his hands, "Ruby Kazan, it was a really cold day."

"Yeah," Iniesta couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect to meet Kazan this year. I still remember that when we went there, we were still intact. I didn't expect that when we came back, you stayed in Kazan."

"I'll tell you the location of Kazan's ward, you can go and have a look," Charles said with a smile.

Iniesta quickly shook his head. “Forget it. You know, Rosell has booked the ward where you stayed in Barcelona, ​​but no one is allowed to use it.”

"He also made a big adjustment to the locker room and repainted the numbers," Xavi added. "If La Liga hadn't set a limit on the number of first-team players, I think he would have taken the number 7 off the locker at Barcelona. Sometimes I really think he's crazy."

Ciel couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, "Then you can still chat with me?"

"It's okay," Harvey blinked, "If he had the guts, he would have changed the password to the training ground gate."

After the halftime performance, it was finally time for the Puskas Award ceremony.

The highlight videos of the three candidates and the edit of the best coach are presented in the form of a short film.

"So, after millions of people voted, let us now announce the winner of the FIFA Puskás Award."

As the host finished speaking, the award presenter walked to the front of the stage, picked up the envelope and slowly opened it.

"The winner of the 2010 Puskás Award is Charles Lee, France."

Charles slowly took off his simultaneous interpretation headphones, straightened his clothes, and walked onto the stage.

Anais, Ange and Jacques were all very excited at this moment.

The audience applauded again, and everyone stopped talking and looked at the young man on the stage.

The presenter handed the Puskas Award medal to Charles and said, "Congratulations, I have never seen such a magical goal."

"Thank you," Charles took the medal skillfully. The presenter also made way for him and Charles walked to the back of the podium.

“It’s really a wonderful night and receiving this award is the biggest motivation for me.”

"I am very grateful to my teammates and coaches for their support, and my parents and girlfriend for their encouragement and companionship during this period."

"I will continue to work hard in the future. Thank you. Thank you very much for your support and recognition."
