Awards such as the Chairman's Special Award and Miss World Football were presented one after another, but they were obviously not the main event, and everyone only applauded symbolically, but they were all waiting for the most important moment to come.

Finally, after a sleepy opera, FIFA President Sepp Blatter and Dutch star Davies, the guest of honour, took to the stage.

Everyone was seated, and the broadcast camera was frequently shown to Quaresma, who was sitting in the front row, and the other two stars next to him.

The wonderful short videos of the three candidates have begun to be played on the big screen, which records their wonderful performances in the past year, accompanied by passionate background music, which actually makes these football bigwigs also excited and enthusiastic.

When the short film ended, the host walked to the audience and began to interview the guests.

"Who do you think will win the World Footballer of the Year Gold Award?"

After the host finished speaking, the microphone was slammed into Ronaldo's face.

Even though Ronaldo knew that the camera was aimed at him and wanted to maintain a smile and demeanor, he still couldn't help but roll his eyes.

What does this make me say?

Quaresma is going to win the prize! If he doesn't win the award, it's shady!

But the problem is that Cannavaro is his teammate in Real Madrid, and the two will play together in the future, so he can't support Cannavaro!

So, Ronaldo didn't know what to say for a while!

But the beautiful host Attalie didn't want to let go of Ronaldo, maybe she had already been tasked to create a little explosion in this World Footballer of the Year selection, anyway, she looked like "I just want to do things"!

If this was a hotel, then Ronaldo would not mind throwing the stunner in front of him on the bed to teach her a good lesson, but for now, he can only keep smiling.

"Actually, I think I can win the World Footballer of the Year, but unfortunately, I am not on the list of candidates!"

With an idea, Ronaldo said mischievously, and then made a heartbroken look.

This will not offend people!

The guests at the scene laughed, and they naturally knew that this was definitely not Ronaldo's arrogance, but just his way of breaking the siege.

The beautiful hostess Attalie was obviously unwilling, so she handed the microphone to Quaresma again.

"Mr. Quaresma, what do you think of Ronaldo's claim that he can claim the World Footballer of the Year award?"

Quaresma frowned slightly, the intention of the beautiful woman in front of her to do something was too obvious.

You think you can do whatever you want if you're a beauty?

"Actually, I think so too, Ronaldo is my idol!"

Quaresma smiled slightly, and in front of the camera, said lightly.

If it's private, he doesn't mind joking with Ronaldo and making fun of each other, but in a grand occasion where the whole world is watching, it's better not to be so high-profile!

The beautiful reporter Attalie pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, looking unwilling, but helpless, this group of old fritters is too difficult to handle.

There is no way, the process has to continue, if it really goes too far, no one will come to the awards ceremony next year, and then it will be lively!

"The winner of the 2006 World Footballer of the Year award is Quaresma!"

As Blatter announced loudly, the lights of the scene were all shining on Quaresma, and in the starry light, Quaresma hugged Zidane and Cannavaro next to him, and walked up to the podium with a smile, and that signature cynical smile also appeared in front of all the fans waiting in front of the TV.

After receiving the World Footballer of the Year trophy from Davis, Quaresma did not forget to hold the trophy high in the air, leaving enough time for reporters to take pictures.

"I'm thrilled to be awarded the supreme World Footballer of the Year!"

"In the past year, my teammates and I have lifted the Big Ears Cup, the Hercules Cup, and each of them has done the same, but it just seems that I am luckier!"

"This trophy belongs not only to me, but also to my teammates, to all the people who have worked with me, including all the fans who have gone out of their way to support us!"

"I hope I'll still be on the podium at next year's awards ceremony, that's a good wish, isn't it?"

"Finally, have a great night to all!"

......

Quaresma didn't say much, and such formulaic statements were not to his liking, so, after saying that, he stepped aside and waited for Zidane and Cannavaro to take the stage together to accept the award.

When the three superstars took a group photo together with the trophy in their hands, the picture was also frozen in the scene of the handover of this era.

This group photo is also considered to be a new beginning in world football!

......

After the award ceremony, the sports section of the media was full of news about the award ceremony, and Quaresma, who became the double footballer of the year, was naturally blown into the sky by the media again.

"Football has since entered the era of Quaresma! 》

Making History, Portugal's First Double Footballer of the Year is out! 》

"Ascending to the top of world football, Quaresma proudly wants to win the world footballer again!" 》

Ronaldo: I think I'm the World Footballer! 》

......

The feast of public opinion also followed the excitement, this was a grand event that everyone wanted to participate in, and everyone also found their place in it.

However, Quaresma, who returned to London early the next morning, had to forget the honor he had just added, because Arsenal was about to face a severe test of a wave of devilish fixtures!

Although the knockout rounds of the Champions League have not yet begun, Arsenal have postponed two rounds of matches due to the Club World Cup, which means that Arsenal will play two more games than other opponents in the same time.

Coupled with the FA Cup to be played, Arsenal are destined to endure a wave of torment.

In the two games that Arsenal have been out of, the fact is that neither Chelsea nor Manchester United have taken their chances and failed to take all three points to put pressure on Arsenal.

Chelsea have one win and one draw, Manchester United have one win and one loss, and that's the result of the two giants.

As a result, even if Arsenal have played two games less, they are still far ahead of these two contenders in the standings.

Nine points ahead of Chelsea and seven points ahead of Manchester United, it looks like an insurmountable gap.

If Arsenal play well in the replay and win both games, they will be far behind Chelsea and Manchester United.

Perhaps, the next wave of games after Christmas will largely determine the Premier League title this season.

At Christmas, Arsenal didn't think it would be easy, even the traditional party dinner had been canceled by Arsene Wenger, and the tense and dense schedule had diluted the festive atmosphere a lot.

In this regard, the players complained, of course, not about the club, but about the damn FIFA, who had to let them go to the chicken Club World Cup, so that now they can't even have a good Christmas!

Quaresma, on the other hand, didn't care at all, because he didn't have the habit of celebrating Christmas at all.

He wants to celebrate the Spring Festival even more, but London also does not have the atmosphere of the Spring Festival!

In fact, Quaresma has already thought about it, and when the Lunar New Year comes, he will hold a party and invite his teammates to participate in it, make some dumplings, set off some firecrackers or something, and relieve his longing for his hometown.

......

The packed schedule is coming!

Arsenal also embarked on a journey of honour and launched a charge towards the title.

On 23 December, the day before Christmas, Arsenal host Blackburn Rovers.

Resentment turned into combat effectiveness, and the Arsenal players vented all their grievances on their opponents and beat their opponents to tears!

Quaresma opened the scoring, Thierry Henry doubled the score, Ljungberg sealed the win, I thought the score would be about that, who would have thought that Adebayor, who came on as a substitute in the second half, poured two more salts on the wound of violent Ben, and the Togolese who came off the bench to score a brace became the best of the game and also gave the opponent a heavy defeat.

On 26 December, Arsenal, who had only rested for a day, travelled to challenge Watford Hornets, who were still resentful of not having a good Christmas day, and then Watford got the same fate as Blackburn, with the only difference being that they conceded one less goal than Blackburn.

Quaresma didn't score, but he provided two assists to his team-mates, mainly because he saw that his teammates were too excited to steal the limelight with them.

On the 29th, Arsenal went to the away game to challenge Sheffield United, Wenger made a lot of rotation in this game, Quaresma and several main players were sitting on the bench, if it wasn't for Sheffield United at home to put a lot of pressure on Arsenal, I'm afraid Wenger would not let Quaresma play in the second half at all.

However, Gioresma's desperate position did not disappoint Arsene Wenger, creating a huge threat to the opposition defence with his first two touches and scoring against a team-mate on the third touch, allowing Arsenal's winning streak to continue.

At this time, the media once again touted Arsenal's strong dominance and Quaresma's invincible performance, you know, not counting the two rounds of absence, Arsenal have won 19 games in a row, which is unique in the entire top five leagues.

The point is that whenever Arsenal are in trouble, Quaresma will always step up and be called upon to save the team from danger, like a hero who has fallen from the sky and will never let victory be absent!

Everyone couldn't help but sigh again - Arsenal, who have Quaresma, may really be unstoppable.

However, in such a wave of public opinion, Arsenal's winning streak came to an end, and the shortcomings of the devil's schedule were exposed at this moment.

On January 2, when they hosted Charlton Athletic, the players who had been fighting continuously were exhausted, even Quaresma, who felt a little tired at this time, and in this situation, Arsenal encountered stubborn sniping from their opponents at the Emirates Stadium, and the fight was extremely bad.

In the first half, the opponent opened the scoring and Arsenal immediately returned the color, but in the second half, the opponent smashed Arsenal's goal with a rough header, and Arsenal fell behind again!

It seems that this is the first time this season that Arsenal will still be behind in the second half!

With a ball in hand, the opponent completely gave up the attack, all the members retreated, and even once cowered in the penalty area to block Arsenal's attack, and the bus was placed in the penalty area, which made Arsenal very helpless.

At the last moment, it was Quaresma who went down to the middle to receive a pass from his teammate and then shot through the opponent's goal, avoiding the tragedy of Arsenal's home defeat.

However, even with a late equaliser, Arsenal's winning streak has been broken, ending in a 19-game winning streak.

Chelsea didn't do it, Manchester United didn't do it, Liverpool and Tottenham didn't do it, but it was Charlton who didn't look at Arsenal and it was Charlton who would never look at it, I have to say, this is football.

Public opinion naturally reported on this, which was a big unpopular and hottest topic.

However, at this time, there are almost no people who really fall into the ground, after all, everyone can see that Arsenal is only affected by the devil's schedule, if it is not affected by the Club World Cup, how can Charlton stop an invincible Arsenal with an invincible edge?

Even if they are forced to draw, Arsenal still has a dominant position in the Premier League, and the strong dominance has made Chelsea and Manchester United depressed, and it is obviously impossible to black Arsenal with such a draw.

That's exactly what happened, in the next make-up match, Arsenal won Wigan Athletic cleanly and continued to lead the standings!

Three days later, Arsenal didn't give Portsmouth any chance, winning their second replayal game at home.

Arsenal have completed two replay-off games after this game, and by this time, they have won an incredible 21 of the 22 games that have been completed, with only one draw.

Compared with Arsenal's strength, Chelsea and Manchester United, even if they tried their best, they were never able to get close to the points, but were thrown away by Arsenal.

If you simply compare the results of Chelsea and Manchester United with previous seasons, then they are not far from the top of the table, if not at the top of the table.

However, the situation is very different now, and Arsenal are like a monster, moving forward fiercely, destroying everything that stands in their way.

Even in the season of the unbeaten title, Arsenal did not have such a dominant performance, and if the best Arsenal in history were to describe the current Gunners, I am afraid that no one would object.

After this wave of fixtures, Arsenal has been given a little respite, and in any case, if the devils get through the fixtures, they will have enough room to adjust and not be killed in the next wave.

Next, the FA Cup will also start, which will definitely bring some trouble to Arsenal.

Whether to spend energy in the FA Cup is what Wenger has been hesitating about.

Arsenal don't have the depth of the bench as Chelsea, and it's not easy to keep the Premier League and Champions League on both fronts, and it's hard to say if the other two important fronts will be affected if they have to spend energy in the FA Cup!

But if you ignore the FA Cup so much, it seems a bit unreasonable.

Last season, Arsenal gave up the FA Cup without hesitation, which is probably a very important reason why Arsenal can win the Champions League.

However, it is precisely because of this decision that Arsenal has been criticized, and even the FA has a lot of criticism about Arsenal.

After all, the FA Cup is a very important competition in England, and many people even think that only the FA Cup can represent England's football tradition, and even the Premier League cannot compare.

The FA Cup is definitely much more valuable than the League Cup.

In such a situation, if Arsenal still insists on giving up the FA Cup, then the tide of public opinion is definitely very unfavorable to Arsenal.

What to do?

If Wenger is given a luxurious bench like Chelsea, then Wenger will not give up the FA Cup.

But now Arsenal is already stretched thin in terms of employing people, otherwise Wenger will not always let young players rotate on the field, if the main players in the FA Cup spend too much energy, then Arsenal's season results are really difficult to guarantee!

Unlike Arsene Wenger's struggles, Quaresma is interested in the FA Cup!

This season's Premier League title will largely go to Arsenal, which means that Quaresma will have one more Premier League title on their lauries.

Coupled with the League Cup won last season, then if you win the FA Cup again, then the champion of the domestic competition in England, Quaresma will also win a Grand Slam!

Not counting the Community Shield, of course!

To conquer a league is to conquer in all directions!

Quaresma feels that it makes sense for him to win the FA Cup with Arsenal.

What's more, what's even more interesting is that Quaresma hasn't played in the FA Cup in the one and a half seasons since he came to Arsenal, which is even more shocking!

Last season, the Arsenal FA Cup was eliminated just after entering the stadium, and this season's FA Cup has just started.

If, at the end of the season, Quaresma leaves Arsenal and leaves with the regret of not being able to play in the FA Cup, I am afraid that Quaresma will not be happy when he leaves.

So, it's good to be able to kick the FA Cup.

Without compromising the bigger picture, Quaresma also wanted to experience the charm of this traditional event in England.

Don't think that the FA Cup may meet some lower-league opponents and think they are all fish belly, you know, the FA Cup has always been a hotbed of upsets, and it is not uncommon for lower-league teams to break into the FA Cup semi-finals.

In particular, their style of play is often more simple, direct and rough, so that those top giants are tied up and cannot play their strongest strength at all.

However, although Quaresma has an idea, the final decision is still in Wenger's hands, and he also knows that he can't do the thing of throwing watermelons and picking sesame seeds.

However, things are often so unexpected that everyone is so caught off guard.

After the previous round of the FA Cup, the draw for the next round takes place, which is what happens after each round of elimination.

It's just that no one thought that Arsenal, as the favorite to win the Premier League, actually drew Liverpool in the FA Cup......

This is the fourth round of the FA Cup!

There was a strong dialogue between Arsenal and Liverpool, and if you want to say that there is no cat in it, a fool will believe it!

While the world is supposed to be just, the problem is that the world is also ruled by humans, and you can't make everyone fair and just.

It is estimated that the FA is now secretly complacent, and this arrangement seems to them to be a stroke of genius.

Didn't Arsenal have the idea of abandoning the FA Cup?

So we're going to put you together with a super strong team and see what you do?

Between the wealthy and the wealthy, even if they are not mortal enemies, there must be great grievances, how can there not be a little dirt in a hundred years of history?

It's okay to let Arsenal give up the game and lose to a little-known team, but if it loses to Liverpool, I'm afraid the Arsenal people really don't want to.

On top of that, even if Arsenal are determined to give up the FA Cup, Liverpool will not show mercy at all.

If you dare to send a second-tier lineup, I will dare to wash you in blood!

If Arsenal really sends a second-tier lineup, I'm afraid Liverpool will beat Arsenal out!

Where will the face of the arsenal be put then?

Who cares if you're playing with all the main forces?

All media opinion is such a headline - "Liverpool slaughters Arsenal" - who can stand this?

Therefore, Arsenal is now completely yin by the FA.

When the draw was announced, Arsene Wenger looked gloomy on the training ground, as if there was always a cumulonimbus cloud floating over his head.

Although the players didn't have much feeling about meeting Liverpool, seeing Wenger like this, they also knew that they shouldn't touch their heads yet!

'You say, how would Liverpool feel if they met us in the FA Cup?' Henry leaned over to Quaresma and whispered in Quaresma's ear.

Quaresma turned to look at Henry, his smile still cynical.

"I think they're going to be annoyed now, more so than Arsene Wenger!"

Henry's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but then he lowered them again, for he understood what Quaresma meant.

It is clear that Liverpool are more serious about the FA Cup than Arsenal.

Liverpool clearly have no chance of competing for the Premier League title this season, and for the Reds, securing a Champions League place is their number one goal.

In addition to the Champions League title to be fought for, they will inevitably work hard in the FA Cup to compete for the title as much as possible.

But they never expected that they would actually run into Arsenal!

Arsenal's strength is definitely stronger than Liverpool's, and in the Premier League semi-finals, Liverpool's squad is obviously the most inadequate, even with the depth of the bench.

The Reds don't know if Arsenal will give up the FA Cup!

If Arsenal chooses to go all out in the FA Cup, then in a tiebreaker format, even if Benist is good at playing the cup knockout rounds, I am afraid there is no way to make up for the huge gap in the strength of the two teams.

You must know that in the first leg of the two sides this season, Arsenal has already beaten Liverpool to the point of losing temper!

Therefore, it should be Liverpool that is more troublesome now!
