Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Ultimately, Manchester City defeated Everton 3-2 in a last-minute winner.

After Ribery assisted Adriano to open the scoring for the team, he then received an assist from Villa to complete the goal.

David Silva and Torres, who came on as substitutes, scored the winning goals in stoppage time, sending a distant blessing to Deng Kai.

Manchester City have won eight consecutive matches across all competitions!

The following day, UBS officially announced that Deng Kai had become their global brand ambassador.

Posters featuring Deng Kai in a Manchester City number 10 jersey have appeared on the front of the UBS building.

This location is on the only way to the FIFA World Player of the Year award ceremony.

On this day, football stars from all over the world flocked to the stadium.

Everyone had to take a look at Deng Kai's huge poster.

One word... envy, jealousy, and hatred!

December 15th, an ordinary day.

The FIFA annual awards ceremony was held in Basel, Switzerland.

Many star athletes made an appearance on the red carpet.

Even Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at the scene with a beaming smile.

Because he was shortlisted for the final ten-man shortlist for FIFA World Player of the Year.

The organizers first announced the Most Improved Award.

The Bahrain national team from Asia received this honor.

They have a population of only 700,000, and just 5,000 registered players.

They only started participating in international competitions this September.

However, their ranking jumped 41 places in a year, from 105th to 64th.

They are also the first Asian team to win this award.

They have just qualified for the 2004 AFC Asian Cup finals.

Next, the Fair Play Award was announced, and Celtic fans were recognized by FIFA and became the recipients.

Then there's the FIFA Presidential Special Award, which was given to the war-torn region of Illa, who began experiencing American aggression in March of this year.

Next up are several major awards.

Team of the Year.

The two teams are the most competitive.

Brazil and France.

Ultimately, Brazil, riding the wave of their World Cup victory last year, defeated France, the Confederations Cup champions this year, to win the award.

The Brazilian team has become a darling of fans all over the world.

In this era, the influence of a World Cup can extend for two years.

This is not so fair to players who have performed exceptionally well in non-major years.

This is why Ronaldo is considered to be at least in the top three of this year's FIFA World Player of the Year.

The second-to-last major award presented was the FIFA Women's World Player of the Year award.

Swedish star Hannah Ljungberg finished third and won the bronze trophy.

Mia Hamm from the United States finished second, taking home the silver trophy.

German football star Birgit Prinz was elected FIFA Women's World Player of the Year and lifted the golden trophy.

The star players present gave them a warm round of applause.

To liven up the atmosphere, the host interacted with Ronaldo, Zidane, and Deng Kai.

Because they are the three finalists for the last grand prize!

Two Real Madrid stars ganged up on Manchester City's emperor.

Ronaldo: "I feel sorry for Mia Ham, she was the FIFA Women's World Player of the Year for two consecutive years, she almost achieved a three-peat!"

Zidane: "Hannah played exceptionally well, and I hope she can continue to do so."

Deng Kai: "In fact, Ronaldo has nothing to regret, because from now on, women's football will usher in the Prinz era."

"I've watched Prinz play; she's incredibly talented and very strong. I think she can achieve what you just said!"

Cristiano Ronaldo's face darkened: You actually called someone else Ronaldo?

Deng Kai: And Ronaldinho is also Ronaldo.

The host was taken aback: "Kay, you mean... Prinz will be named FIFA Women's World Player of the Year three times during her career?"

Prinz looked surprised; she hadn't expected Deng Kai, one of the "world's best players," to speak so highly of her.

Men's football and women's football are different.

The men's football team is far superior to the women's football team in both skill level and influence.

So despite being the FIFA Women's World Player of the Year, Prinz is also a fan of many male football stars.

Prinz was very grateful for Duncan's encouragement: "In fact, I knew about Duncan when he first started out. The Germans were the first to know about this Caesar."

Hahaha.

Everyone smiled knowingly.

Football Caesar... This was Deng Kai's first title, meaning the Emperor of Football.

Most of it was sarcastic or mocking.

But now... he has become the true emperor of football.

At the very least, he is already the emperor of Manchester City.

However, Deng Kai shook his head: "No, no, no, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean that Prinz would be named FIFA Women's World Player of the Year three times in her career."

"The accurate wording should be: I believe Prinz will be named FIFA Women's World Player of the Year three times in a row during her career!"

Deng Kai finished speaking.

The scene erupted in uproar.

Three times in a row?

Do you think this is the Portuguese Cup champion?

Is it that simple?

Of course, Deng Kai didn't need to explain.

Because Prinz's career was just that brilliant.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she was elected FIFA Women's World Player of the Year in 2003, 2004, and 2005.

Throughout her career, she won the German Footballer of the Year award eight times, the Bundesliga top scorer award four times, the Women's World Cup twice, the Women's European Championship five times, the Women's Champions Cup three times, the Bundesliga title nine times, and the German Cup ten times!

The host awkwardly tried to smooth things over.

But the atmosphere at the scene still became a bit strange as a result.

Finally, the award ceremony for the FIFA World Player of the Year officially began amidst great anticipation.

Manchester United's super striker and AC Milan's star striker Shevchenko are tied for tenth place in the FIFA World Player of the Year rankings!

Cristiano Ronaldo's outstanding performances upon joining Manchester United last season helped the team return to the top of the Premier League, making them the kings of the Premier League.

Last season, Shevchenko, with the support of AC Milan's legendary squad, staged a remarkable comeback and ultimately won the Champions League!

In terms of competitive level and personal honors, Cristiano Ronaldo is currently far inferior to Shevchenko.

However, fame accounts for a large part of the weighting in the FIFA World Player of the Year award.

Cristiano Ronaldo benefited from Manchester United's fame, especially after Beckham left the club in the second half of this year, inheriting almost all of Beckham's "legacy" from Manchester United.

Shevchenko, after all, came from Eastern Europe, and his background was a disadvantage.

In addition, AC Milan's star-studded lineup drew away a lot of his attention and credit.

Maldini, Rivaldo, Rui Costa, and even the rising star Kaká all influenced Shevchenko to some extent.

This year's tenth place is the ticket Shevchenko paid.

If he can maintain such explosive performances in the future, he will definitely be among the top three.

This is a loss that players who have entered the FIFA World Player of the Year and Ballon d'Or awards in previous years have encountered.

I like playing football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him.
