Chapter 528: World Footballer of the Year Is He?

The award ceremony officially began, and foreplay was naturally the least talked about the President's Special Award and the Fair Play Award, but for some specific people, such as Haiti, this is the highest honor. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The impoverished country is suffering from civil strife, and ********in February this year, when President Aristide was overthrown and left for the small African country of Central Africa, Haiti was plunged into civil strife due to the presence of a group of royalists, about 300 people died in the rain of bullets, and the standard of living of the people fell sharply.

On August 18, the Haitian national team played a friendly match against the Brazilian national team in Haiti amid the sound of gunfire, and it was because of this friendly match that the Haitian Football Federation was awarded the President's Special Award, and the Brazilian national team was awarded the Fair Play Award for their contribution to the development of football.

David was in awe, and perhaps Brazilian President Lula was more politically motivated, but there is no doubt that this friendly match has a huge significance for the Haitian people.

The next award of the best player in indoor football still belongs to the same field as regular football, and the "Esports Footballer of the Year" is a bit boring for David, this thing is closely related to football, but it is a bit nonsense to attribute it to FIFA!

The team of the year was taken away by Brazil because they only lost one game in the whole year, but in David's opinion, in the year when there was a European Championship, this award was not taken away by the European Championship champion, this is completely FIFA and UEFA wrestling, Greece can win the European Championship, what a legendary result!

David really feels aggrieved for Greece, but it can't be helped, everything is a damn struggle for power!

However, the next award winner really made David laugh, and the 2004 FIFA World Ranking Most Improved Award was actually won by the Chinese team, because in this year, the Chinese national team's world ranking rose 32 places......

David understands the reason for this, due to the impact of SAR~ last year, the international ranking of the Chinese team plummeted, and it was only ranked 86th at the end of the year; After winning the second place in the group stage of the World Cup Asian qualifiers and the Asian Cup, China's points soared by 101 points to 54th.

With the dual growth advantages of ranking and points, the Chinese national team still won the fastest improvement award.

It seems that the world ranking really can't be taken too seriously, maybe it's only really useful when it comes to the draw slots!

Next up was the Miss World Football, which was won by German striker Prinz, while Mia Hamm, who retired this year, won the Silver Award and the Bronze Award went to 18-year-old Brazilian debutant Marta.

Maybe others are just optimistic about Marta's future, but David knows what kind of achievements this talented female star will achieve in the future, just the title of Miss World Football has won five times in a row, and she is the absolute god of women's football.

David respects the sport of women's football, but he really doesn't have much interest, even if he used to cheer for the sonorous roses, he was just more patriotic, if he was asked to watch the women's football team or club games, sorry, he would rather go and sleep for a while!

When another opera performance ended, the atmosphere at the awards ceremony was unnaturally much stronger, and everyone knew that the real highlight was coming.

In the spotlight, the three superstars of Villa, Shevchenko and Ronaldo appeared in black suits, and the audience also burst into thunderous applause and cheers to pay tribute to the three stars who had a great performance last season.

Libyan legend George Weah, who had just lost the presidential election last month, was not struck down by the harsh reality and was the perfect occasion to announce his comeback at the FIFA Awards Ceremony.

As a former African legend, it is difficult to say that it is a good idea to enter politics after retiring, but considering the situation in Libya, David should have a lot of respect for Weah.

After Weah greeted the three World Footballer of the Year candidates, FIFA's evaluation of the three candidates began to be read out along with the highlights of the three stars shown on the big screen.

The performances of the three people are obvious to everyone, so no one particularly cares about Weah's praise words, even if he says it wildly, and he won't get the title of World Footballer for a while, it will be in vain.

The most exciting moment is when the name of the winner will be displayed on the big screen, and this player will be the World Footballer of the Year '04 award.

The background music also became exciting, and everyone's eyes were glued to the big screen, waiting for the final result to be revealed.

David seemed to be even more nervous than Villa himself, his palms were already covered with fine beads of sweat, and he really wanted Villa to stand on the final podium, which would be the perfect result for both Notts County and Villa.

When the names of the winners appeared on the big screen, there was a round of applause at first, but it stopped abruptly in an instant, and it turned into an uproar.

David stared at the two names that appeared on them in a daze, and his mind went blank.

David Villa Sanchez

Ronaldo de Assis Moreira

This is the name of Villa and Xiao Luo, and these two names actually appeared on the big screen at the same time!

What does that mean?

Was it a joke played by FIFA and everyone in the room? It is not the eventual winner of the World Footballer of the Year title that appears on the screen, but the second and third places, and it is the new Footballer of the Year who really does not appear in the name?

There are not a few people who think this way, and many people have set their eyes on Shevchenko, could it be that the Eastern European striker is counterattacking without being favored?

It's unlikely, even in the most valuable selection of European footballers, and in the case that Eastern European journalists also occupy a lot of weight, he has not been able to finally stabilize, and he can't catch up with Xiao Luo in terms of influence, and it is impossible for the world footballer to belong to him from any point of view!

Shevchenko's mind was also blank at this time, this thought poured into his mind, and his heart was also hot, although he knew that he had almost no chance of winning, but the current situation gave him infinite hope.

Villa and Xiao Luo looked at each other, and after thinking of that possibility, they suddenly felt unwilling in their hearts, but in an instant, the two still applauded Shevchenko generously, no matter how small the probability of Shevchenko reaching the top is, no matter what is greasy in this, in this case, the two must show generosity.
