Ferguson said he would do it, and the next day, he called Ranieri, the tinkering general.

"Claudio, I'd like to talk to one of your players."

Before Ranieri answered the phone, his heart jumped faster when he saw that it was Ferguson's number, and now Ferguson went straight to the point.

"Who?"

"N'Golo Kante. French lad. ”

"Sir, we are going to be relegated this season, and it is impossible to sell the core of the midfield."

"Aha, relegation, Claudio, don't be kidding, you're in 6th place now, is this relegation? The other teams don't have to go to the first division. Ferguson on the other end of the line smiled.

"It's relegation, and I haven't gotten the points needed for relegation."

Ranieri is very low-key, and so far this season, the team's results are enough to play in the Europa League and even the Champions League, but all he has been talking about is relegation.

"Then a few more games will be relegated, the transfer period is not over yet," Ferguson is also very good at calculating, and the ghost believes that Ranieri will be in order to relegate, and the results are on display.

"Sir, I won't let him go at this time. If you really want to, you can talk about it at the end of the season. ”

"Okay, so we'll make an appointment now, and then we'll talk to the players at the end of the season?"

"Yes."

"Okay, before that, you have to make sure I have priority."

"Yes."

"By the way, are you interested in Schweinsteiger? I can swap. ”

"No, I don't like veterans, and his salary is too high for me to consider."

"Okay."

……

The intention to buy Kante was preliminarily finalized, and he spoke with Dong Fangzhuo on the phone again.

"Dong,"

"Schweinsteiger is Southampton's, even if it's on loan to you."

At this time, Dong Fangzhuo was preparing to board Ronaldo's private jet, and he was going to attend this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony with Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo dispatched a private jet to pick him up.

"Boss, no problem."

"He's ours."

Ronaldo heard it clearly next to him, and after he hung up the phone, Ronaldo said.

"Really take Schweinsteiger?"

He's also half the owner of the team, 49% of the shares.

"Yes, Manchester United don't need it anyway."

'Southampton have a strong midfield now, a little older, but it's enough to rotate. Hey, maybe we'll have a big surprise at the end of the season? ”

"Do you really want the team to hit the Champions League?" Ronaldo thinks Dong Fangzhuo is really a little crazy.

"Why not? Don't you think there's a chance to do it? Arsenal are so uncompetitive. ”

"Well, I admit, there is hope."

"What's the point of not winning the Champions League?"

"No, no, Ronaldo, it doesn't have to be the Champions League to make sense, many people have never played in the Champions League in their lives, when you were young, wouldn't it be right to fly if you could play in the Champions League? It's just that later our dreams became greater. Take 10,000 steps back, play in the Champions League and make money, you don't know how many fans Southampton has in China right now. We've made the biggest investment ......"

……

After that, the two brought the topic back to the Golden Globes.

"Who do you think will win this time?"

"I don't know."

"But I don't care, it's better for you to take it. But it looks like Messi seems more promising. ”

He patted Ronaldo on the shoulder.

"Don't be discouraged, we're still young, and we still have a lot of time to fight."

"......" Ronaldo,

"Didn't you say we were old?"

"But our bodies and ambitions are not old!"

……

Zurich, Switzerland.

Football journalists from all over the world gather here to cover the biggest football event of the year.

The lengthened Cadillac picked up Cristiano Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo at the airport, and then drove straight to the venue of the awards party.

Many stars are already walking the red carpet, Messi has caused madness on the scene before, but Dong Fangzhuo's arrival has only reached the climax, and the two of them appear together at the annual awards party, and the reporters here have already set up long lenses waiting for them here.

Both of them are dressed very handsomely today, both wearing the same dark blue suits, and even the ties are exactly the same.

"Couple outfits?"

The reporters were excited, clicking and patting.

"The two of them must have a relationship. I even think that for so many years, the marriage has been just a cover-up, maybe they ......"

The paparazzi's ideas are very dirty, if Dong Fangzhuo and they know, they will probably beat people, such a good friendship is described by them as this.

Well, these two sets of clothes were customized by Ronaldo himself, and they are also the new brand of the clothing company he opened, and the reason why the two of them wear the same style is to advertise their brand.

The brand name is still CR7&DF9, and it is marked on the chest, and it is estimated that no reporter has found it yet, but after the awards, it is estimated that it will cause madness all over the world.

The two also deliberately stopped for an interview.

"Dong, can you explain why you wear the same style of clothes?"

"I like it." Dong Fangzhuo smiled. "Ronaldo picked it for me."

"Whew-" There was an uproar at the scene, it really looked like a couple.

"It's our company's brand." Ronaldo also laughed and started advertising directly.

Oh!

The crowd immediately understood. It turned out to be the endorsement of his own brand.

……

"Ronaldo, which of you think will win the Ballon d'Or this year?"

"You'll know when the awards are over."

"Will you lose to Messi?"

"Then we all have to congratulate Messi."

……

After tossing and turning outside for nearly half an hour, they entered the award venue.

As usual, Dong Fangzhuo, Ronaldo and Messi are all sitting next to each other, and in the past 8 years, they have divided all the Ballon d'Or awards, Messi is one, Ronaldo is three, and Dong Fangzhuo is four. 07-14 belongs to the three of them, and I don't know whose arms the 2015 Golden Globe Awards will fall into.

Dong Fangzhuo is far ahead, Ronaldo is close behind, and Messi is a little far away, but Messi is the highest in this year's Ballon d'Or award.

British actor Nesbitt and Sky Sports anchor Abdo served as emcees. Three candidates each for the Ballon d'Or and Miss World Football took to the stage and gave short interviews.

The Miss Soccer came to the stage first, and then the men.

Messi came to the stage first, and he didn't talk much.

"It's been another year, and it's nerves to stand here every year."

"But I'm used to it, so I'm not surprised or happy now. Whether you can win the award or not is not so strong. ”

"Thank you."

That's what he said, but did Messi really think so in his heart? No one knows, after all, he has only won the Golden Globe once.

Then it was Ronaldo's turn.

Ronaldo's words are nothing new, but they have a lot of personality, the opposite of Messi.

"I definitely want to win the award, after all, I can catch up with Dong."

"I dream of it."

"But it doesn't look like much hope this year, haha."

He was also relieved, but he still wanted to win the award.

Dong Fangzhuo was the last to take the stage.

"Both of them want to win the prize,"

"I want to, too."

"But it's not our problem, it's the judges' problem, and the judges have a headache."

"Whoever wins the award, he deserves it because everybody is doing great."

"But I hope there will be a guy in football who can fight against us, they need to make an impact on us, and we can't wait until we all retire before they come to power, right?"

The camera suddenly focused on Neymar, Eden Hazard and Antoine Griezmann.

Hey, they're all thick-faced.

I don't know if Dong Fangzhuo is expecting them to say this, or is he scolding them for not being angry, we have all ruled in football for eight years, why don't you snatch the throne?

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't have enough ability! Who doesn't want to win the Ballon d'Or......

There was a burst of discussion in the audience, obviously amused by Dong Fangzhuo's words.

But Sky Sports' Abdo also said more, "Neymar, did you hear that?" ”

This embarrassed these guys......

※※※※

First of all, the World Professional Players Union Team of the Year was revealed. Voters for the selection were around 52,000 members of the World Professional Footballers' Union and voted in a 4-3-3 formation. After the accounting of the tickets of the employees of the ball, they were revealed at the award ceremony.

Former Barcelona and Inter strikers presented the awards to reveal the best team of the World Footballers Union (4-3-3): De Gea/Alves, Ramos, Thiago Silva, Marcelo/Modric, Dong Fangzhuo, Iniesta/Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar

Manchester United are embarrassed.

As European champions, they only had two players selected, David De Gea and Dong Fangzhuo, and the rest of the players failed to make it to the best.

What does this mean, it shows that Manchester United relies on two people to fight the world, Dong Fangzhuo in front of the city, and De Gea in the back. The duo then joined hands to win the Champions League.

De Gea did not come to attend the award, so Dong Fangzhuo helped him to collect it on his behalf. Everyone had the opportunity to speak on the podium, and Dong Fangzhuo held these two awards and simply helped De Gea say a word.

"De Gea said because he was too busy to take a break, so let me accept the award, as for what is he busy with? It seems that he is going to discuss marriage and having children with his girlfriend. In our China, this is the top priority, so he won't come......"

When De Gea heard the words, he probably wanted to cry without tears, this is a real thing, but he didn't ask Dong Fangzhuo to say it at the scene...... It's a shame.

After that, Kaka, the son of God, came to the forefront.

Since going to the major leagues, Kaka has almost disappeared from the mainstream media's field of vision, and this sudden appearance immediately caused the scene to resound with screams.

"Kaka,"

"Ricardo!"

The applause was loud, and even Dong Fangzhuo couldn't help but applaud vigorously. It's a great feeling to suddenly see an old friend here.

"Hello everyone,"

"It's a pleasure to be on this stage."

"It's a great feeling."

Back then, Kaka won the World Footballer of the Year, but the Golden Ball Award was taken away by Dong Fangzhuo, which was the biggest regret of his football career.

After that, although he was still at his peak, he never became the number one in the world, and after going to Manchester City, although he won the league title for Manchester City, he could not let himself go further. After that, he left for the Major League League......

"It was ...... who won the 2015 European Ballon d'Or"

"Messi!"

He was not humorous at all, and read out his name directly, perhaps because he didn't want his friends Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo to be too sad, so he simply revealed the answer directly.

The three guys at the bottom aren't mentally prepared yet.

"Whew~" Messi almost fell out of his chair.

"Did you hear me right?"

He even turned his head left and right to look at Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo.

But Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo have already applauded!

Well, it's yourself!

Messi swished to his feet, quickly straightened his dress, and then took a step forward.

Really, really got the second Golden Ball.

Hearts are like a tide! Then it flooded and burst the embankment! Even the pace floated.

Who says he doesn't care? He cares! He cares a lot about the fact that he only has one Golden Globe.

Woo, woo~

The heart is turbulent and noisy.

The three received 35% of the votes for Messi, 32% for Ronaldo and 33% for Dong Fangzhuo. The vote rate is quite close! ”

"This is the closest vote in the history of football."

"Between them, there are no losers! 1% difference, ah, this is the greatest Ballon d'Or in the history of football. ”

When the host announced the vote rate, the scene was in an uproar! Indeed, in the 60 years of the Ballon d'Or, there has never been such a close point difference, Messi actually did not win at all, and even a change in the number of votes of one or two people was enough to change the outcome of the selection.

Applause, crazy applause! Lasting applause. Everybody was thrilled and this is a miracle in the history of football.

The excited Messi wiped the corners of his eyes several times, but the tears still flowed down, and he stood on the rostrum for nearly half a minute before he calmed down a little, and then began to deliver his acceptance speech: "Back on the podium, this moment is very special." After watching Cristiano and Dong win here as a spectator, I won another Golden Globe, and this is my second Golden Globe, which is something I could never have dreamed of as a child. I want to thank everyone who voted for me and my teammates, and finally football, which gave me everything, for better or worse, because it pushed me to learn and grow. ”

Both the Argentine fans and Messi fans sitting in front of the TV were crying.

They know how difficult it is for Messi to win these two Ballon d'Or awards. With Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo two players, Messi has been crushed to death, especially Dong Fangzhuo, who is almost a god-like existence, and Messi can hardly see hope.

But today, the 28-year-old Messi finally snatched back his second golden goal. He is two years younger than Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo.

The Sky Sports host suddenly said, "Oh, buy karma! ”

"I just found out you're only 28!"

"Dong and Ronaldo are almost 31, which means that Neymar has to wait......"

There was another uproar at the scene......

"This ......"

"It means that Messi is not old yet, Messi still has to win the award, and Neymar has to wait?"

"Haha, when Messi is old, Neymar and they won't have a few years, right?"

"What a sad time......

"Born in the era of the three of them, the other players really don't have any illusions about the Golden Ball anymore."
