Chapter 722: World Footballer of the Year! Brace!
At the entrance of the Zurich Opera House, the three stars gathered here, which instantly caused a frenzy among media reporters. The flickering magnesium lights turn the night into day.
Journalists from all over the world ran between three people, not knowing who to interview.
Figo and Zinedine Zidane touted each other in front of reporters, while Zheng Zhi was left last to be interviewed by Chinese and Asian media.
"Anyone has a chance today,"
"I'm very calm about whether to win the award or not, because all three people are eligible to win the award. Of course, if it's me, of course it's perfect, if I can't get it this year, I'll continue next year. ”
Zheng Zhi, who is calm, is not too anxious about whether to win the award.
In fact, the same is true of Zidane, after all, Zidane has already obtained it in 1998, and now it is the second time to face such a situation.
Maybe only Figo is quite uncomfortable in his heart, he wants to win the prize, but the chance is not great. How can you calculate that the probability of him winning the award is zero, and the national team honor alone can't be compared, and he still gets a fart?
After entering the opera house, the three of them also sat next to each other, Zidane on the left side of Zheng Zhi and Figo on the right side of Zheng Zhi. The camera camera keeps falling on them, and all three appear calm.
Three big men, the world's three major midfielders, an attacking midfielder, a right midfielder, a right winger, an all-round midfielder, all three have a characteristic, all have an angular and cold face, like a statue, handsome.
Ten FIFA awards were selected for the awards, some of which have already been announced, and some of which are to be announced on the spot by the presenters.
The male host of this awards ceremony is the famous Spanish TV host Putias, and the female host is the beautiful Spanish Latin female singer Shakira.
The 23-year-old Shakira stood on the rostrum in a white evening dress, which attracted so much attention that even Zheng Zhi couldn't help but look at it secretly. This future Pique's wife, beautiful is beautiful, but her height is not good, it seems to be less than one meter six, and now she is wearing ten centimeters of hating the sky, but she looks good in height, but she just took off her shoes......
He shook his head.
He doesn't like girls who are too short......
He glanced at Figo, whose gaze seemed to fall on Shakira. Figo also seems to be cautious. The world says he's a good man, single-minded, and the devil knows what the real Figo is like? I am tired of eating my own food, and I also want to eat a little outside, no matter how good and beautiful his Helen is, sometimes it is not as fragrant as the wildflowers outside......
However, why did Zidane's eyes also fall on Shakira? Zheng Zhi smelled Zidane's gaze again, and there was no difference.
are all big guys, and at the moment of competing for the Golden Globe Award, the thoughts in their minds fell on women......
After the gala began, the first award was the Yashin Prize, which was undoubtedly intended for Toldo. Toldo's performance at this year's European Championship was so good that Santo Toldo's nickname came from this, without Toldo, Italy would not have reached the final at all, but unfortunately, Italy was only one step away from the title.
After Toldo took away the Yashin Prize, the organizing committee presented a team award. The award for the "2000 Most Spectacular Team" was presented by Bayern General Manager Hoeness. The personable German announced the award to the Dutch team, which received a total of 220,000 votes from fans around the world, or 61% of the total votes.
The third award was the "Fair Play Award 2000" and was presented to Real Madrid coach Bosque. Bosque announced that the winner was the Italian team. The award was received by Maldini on behalf of Italy, who will receive a prize of US$50,000...... But the look on the face of AC Milan captain Maldini is not good at all! The fair play award is to comfort the European Cup runners-up, damn the runners-up, damn the French team...... This is undoubtedly another rubbing salt in Italy's wounds, and as an Italian player, no one wants to recall this year's European Championship final.
When Maldini walked off the podium with the award in his arms, he almost couldn't find his way back, and his mind was distraught.
The next award is the "Chairman's Special Award", which is awarded to a person who has made a special contribution to football. The award was presented to Blatter, who announced that the winner would be someone from outside the football world, but with a special contribution to the game, and the winner was a Mexican fan who was committed to helping underprivileged children get the opportunity to play.
Next, the "Team of the Century Award" was presented, and the guest of honor was Blatter. The winner is the great Real Madrid team! Needless to say, Real Madrid's many accolades speak for themselves, with eight European Champions Cup victories saying it all. Representing Real Madrid was the legendary Stefano, who is 74 years old.
The sixth award is the "Lifetime Achievement Award". The winner is Santiago Bernabéu, the old president of Real Madrid. The Bernabeu died in 1978. Without him, there would be no Real Madrid today. The current Florentino took the stage to receive the award on behalf of the old chairman, and the current home stadium of Real Madrid is named after the old president. The Bernabeu is the greatest president of a world football club, and in his 35 years in office, he has taken Real Madrid to the top of the world.
The awards show is about to turn into a stage for Real Madrid FC......
The seventh award was the "2000 Team of the Year" and was presented by the famous Spanish star Putragno. He announced that it was the French team! After all, the French team won the European Championship.
When this award was awarded, Chinese fans had a lot of opinions, and even Huang Jianxiang in the live broadcast room complained.
"It should be the Chinese team, how can it be the French team, the Chinese team has won the Olympic championship and the Asian Cup, which is much stronger than the French team."
"I don't agree with this award......"
"I think in terms of selection, the European national team and European players have a certain advantage, and Asian teams and Asian players are on the disadvantaged side, so Zheng Zhi and Sun Wen for a while, I feel the same, I hope my hunch is wrong......"
As soon as Huang Jianxiang said this, the Chinese fans in front of the TV also felt a chill in their hearts, which seemed to make some sense.
Finally, it came to the individual awards, and everyone's hearts were raised to their throats, because the honor related to the Chinese men's and women's football team really came to the table.
The first award was the "2000 FIFA Miss World Football of the Year". The three candidates are Mia Hamm of the United States, Prinz of Germany, and Sun Wen of China. The award was presented by a well-known female referee in Spain, who has officiated in La Liga. Sun Wen won the Bronze Ball Award. The Silver Globe winner was Germany's Prinz. Miss World Football 2000 is Mia Hamm! This was voted for by the 77 head coaches of the women's national football team, and although Sun Wen performed well, she was not as shining as the Americans. Last year, Sun Wen was the winner of the World Cup Golden Ball, and this year she can only rank third.
Sun Wen also seems to be calm, knowing that she is here to play soy sauce this year, and now it depends on whether Zheng Zhi can beat the crowd and win this year's World Footballer.
Prior to this, Shakira performed her most popular music and dance music of the year on stage, which made the eyes of the three men below become obsessed, especially Zidane......
The last award, the 2000 FIFA World Footballer of the Year, has finally come out in a long wait.
The award is voted for by managers from 148 countries. Unlike the voting rules of the European Footballer of the Year, the European Footballer of the Year is voted for by media reporters, while the World Footballer of the Year is voted by the head coach, which seems to be professional, but there is a big difference in the world. Media reporters deal with games and players every day, but the national team manager is not necessarily, they only care about their own players, not necessarily other games and other players.
Zheng Zhi, Zidane and Figo also retracted their caution and sat quietly on their chairs.
The award was presented to Rivaldo of the World Footballer of the Year in 1999.
Rivaldo first started the Bronze Globe winner, and he belonged to Figo. It was so cruel that it was punished with capital punishment all at once, and Figo didn't even have time to fantasize. Rivaldo clicked his fantasy with a single stab, and he was the third.
Now, only Zidane and Zheng Zhi are left, and the two of them are the world footballer of the year.
"Zidan?"
"Zheng Zhi?"
The honest and honest Rivaldo also has a funny side, "It should be given to Zidan because he won the European Cup, but I think it should also be given to Zheng, who won the Asian Cup and the Champions Cup." ”
'Both of them qualify and I should have thrown the dice to decide better, otherwise they could have played a penalty shoot-out.'
Zheng Zhi and Zidane laughed at the same time, Zheng Zhi was fine, Zidane's forehead was already dripping with sweat and nervous.
"The ...... who won the 2000 World Footballer of the Year award"
"Zidane,"
"The guy on the right."
"Zheng-Zhi!"
Fack!
Zidane's heart instantly had 10,000 horses running by, the corners of his mouth were already smiling, and his feet were already halfway up, but fuck Rivaldo!
You're so ruthless!
Ahhh
Zidane really wanted to go up and slap Rivaldo, this guy looked very honest and honest on the surface, but now he played such a disgusting joke on him.
It's a shame.
However, Qi Zu's head turned quickly, and he immediately turned sideways and gave Zheng Zhi, who had just gotten up, a hug.
In fact, when Zheng Zhi heard Zidane's name, he was also ready to stand up and congratulate Zidane, but he didn't expect Rivaldo to have the next sentence?
I'm grass, it's embarrassing.
Seeing that Zidane had already gotten up first, he quickly stood up to cooperate with Zidane and hugged Zidane. He deeply understands how embarrassed Zidane is at this moment, damn Rivaldo......
If Zidane accepts the award, it is estimated that Rivaldo's lines will become - Zheng Zhi! The guy on the left......
"Congratulations to Zheng Zhi!"
"He became the World Footballer of the Year 2000!"
"European Footballer of the Year, World Footballer of the Year, two goals!"
