New Bayi Chinese Network - A collection of online novel reading networks

On the evening of January 10, 2011, Lu Wenbin won the 2010 FIFA Golden Ball Award at the Zurich Convention Center in Switzerland, which became the biggest news in the world that night and the next day.

In 2010, the biggest mystery of the year-end in world football was revealed, and Chinese player Lu Wenbin won the best striker, the best goal and the FIFA Golden Ball Award.

Won the Ballon d'Or at the age of 20, Lu Wenbin surpassed Ronaldo, who won the award at the age of 21, and became the youngest Ballon d'Or winner in football history!

In China, Lu Wenbin's award has had an incomparably huge social impact.

Not only sports media, but also countless heavyweight current affairs media, including People's Daily, Xinhuanet, CCTV News Network, etc., have broadcast and published the news that Lu Wenbin won the Golden Globe Award.

As for Lu Wenbin's hometown of Guizhou, television, newspapers, radio, and Internet news websites have been carrying out a series of reports on Lu Wenbin's award.

The youngest Golden Globe winner in history, China, and even Asia's first Mr. Golden Globe, is enough to get the whole country to pay attention.

It's a national glory.

When Chinese football fell into the darkest, it was the appearance of Lu Wenbin that made Chinese fans maintain a little confidence in Chinese football, and also continued to attract new fans to pay attention to football, and Lu Wenbin's Tieba fans skyrocketed by millions overnight.

Of course, Lu Wenbin's acceptance speech at the award ceremony mentioned the Chinese High School Football League, which also attracted the attention of domestic leaders.

This shows that campus football is useful and should continue to be invested, and other supporting facilities, such as football fields, should also continue to increase.

Lu Wenbin's Golden Ball Award has had a huge stimulating effect on domestic football, and countless teenagers who have no interest in football have begun to buy football, buy shoes, wear jerseys, and find a place to play, just like the national football team reached the South Korea-Japan World Cup in 2001.

If it can win the championship in the Qatar Asian Cup again, then Chinese football will really bottom out.

After the award ceremony, naturally many media reporters from various countries wanted to interview Lu Wenbin, but how could Lu Wenbin have time?

Therefore, it was only possible to hold a 30-minute press conference, answer the most pressing questions of the reporters a little, and then go to the hotel for a break.

When I returned to the hotel, I celebrated with my family until late.

Then, early the next morning, Lu Wenbin's family boarded a special plane back to Doha, Qatar.

He's going to play in the Asian Cup!

When Lu Wenbin was still on the plane, the organizing committee of another sports award also announced the list of nominees for 2011, this sports award, the "Laureus World Sports Awards".

Originated in 2000, the Laureus Awards are the world's most influential multi-sport awards.

The FIFA Ballon d'Or is exclusive to football, while the Laureus Awards cover all sports, not only football, but also basketball, tennis, racing, cycling, and more.

As long as it is a sport and has performed well in the past year, it is possible to be nominated or even eventually awarded.

Of course, generally speaking, the winners still have to consider the popularity and influence of the project, too niche projects, and the nominees do not have too outstanding achievements, it is impossible to win.

2011 is the 12th Laureus Awards, which will be presented on February 7 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and the nominees are now announced.

On the list of nominees for the best male athlete of the year, Lu Wenbin, who just won the FIFA Golden Ball Award, appeared in the list of nominees along with Kobe Bryant who plays basketball, Nadal who plays tennis, Manny Pacquiao who plays boxing, and Sebastian Vettel who drives a racing car.

The uncertainty of this award is greater than that of the FIFA Golden Ball, after all, several other people have also achieved dazzling results in their respective fields, and they are not much worse than Lu Wenbin's achievements in football.

Although basketball, tennis, boxing, and racing are not as good as football, which is the first sport, they are also large-scale sports with a very wide audience, and their influence is not bad.

Whether Lu Wenbin can win the award will not be known until a month later.

However, Lu Wenbin, who arrived in Qatar and got off the special plane, was not in much of the mood to enjoy the joy of being nominated for the Laureus Award.

Because, after two consecutive days of long-distance flight, tiring travel, plus the anxiety before and after the award, the ups and downs in his mood, the sharp change in temperature between Qatar and Sweden, etc., Lu Wenbin's body had an accident.

Lu Wenbin, who almost never got sick after his physique was added to the full value, actually got sick after returning to Qatar!

Lu Wenbin, who has just been nominated for the FIFA Golden Globe Award and the Laureus Sports Award, has a cold?

Taking advantage of the fact that he had just won the Golden Globe Award, Lu Wenbin made headlines in many national media newspapers with a cold.

Of course, this is bad news for the Chinese team and Chinese fans who are playing the Asian Cup.

Originally, Lu Wenbin's long-distance flight to Sweden between the two group games to receive the award was a very physical drain, but now he still has a cold, which undoubtedly casts a shadow on the second group stage of the Chinese team.

Moreover, the Chinese team's second group stage opponent is the host Qatar, which is simply worse.

On the afternoon of January 12, 2011, the second round of the Asian Cup group stage group stage group stage Uzbekistan vs Kuwait was the first to start.

90 minutes later, Uzbekistan defeated Kuwait 21, won all two games, accumulated 6 points and 3 goal difference, although it cannot be said that it has qualified in advance, but has occupied the initiative to qualify.

In the evening, it was the match between the Chinese team and the host Qatar.

Although a cold may seem like a minor ailment, no matter how good the medicine you use, it can't be cured in a day or two.

Therefore, in this game, although Lu Wenbin, who was not in good health, entered the squad, he failed to start, and could only sit on the bench and failed to play until the end of the game.

On the Qatar side, after losing the first group stage, this game was really desperate in the cheers of the home fans.

Although the Chinese team tried hard to keep a draw, it could not be realized.

Moreover, the referee really showed a certain degree of favoritism to Qatar in the game, and even awarded Qatar a penalty.

Of course, there is no such thing as an obvious false whistle, and the Qataris have not gone as far as the South Koreans have done.

After 90 minutes, the Chinese team lost to Qatar 03.

As a result, the Chinese team and Qatar both have 3 points, the Chinese team ranks second in the group with 2 goal difference, Qatar ranks third with 1 goal difference, and Kuwait ranks bottom after losing both games.

However, in the last game, Qatar faced Kuwait, the weakest team in the group, and was the host, so it is unclear how many goals Qatar will win.

In the last round, the Chinese team faced Uzbekistan, which had won two consecutive games, and it had to win, not draw.

As long as they win, the Chinese team will surpass Uzbekistan on goal difference with the same number of points.

In that way, no matter what the result of the match between Qatar and Kuwait is, the Chinese team will definitely qualify.

And once they can't win, the Chinese team, which has the new FIFA Golden Ball Mr. Lu Wenbin, the favorite to win the Asian Cup, may not be able to qualify, and will go home after the group stage.

This is a huge blow to both Lu Wenbin personally and for the Chinese fans who have just become enthusiastic because of Lu Wenbin's Ballon d'Or.

The final round of the Chinese team's match against Uzbekistan has turned into a life-and-death battle that must be won. Ask for a commuter pass
