Chapter 530: Golden Globe Night
December 31, New Year's Eve. Paris, Hotel Eiffel Tower Reras.
The annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony takes place here. The Golden Globe Awards ceremony is the equivalent of the Oscars in the film industry. The superstars of Europe's major giants gather here, such as Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, Benzema... A group of superstars sat down in the audience.
Liu Yun is the most brilliant of the stars in Paris tonight.
Next to Liu Yun, there were three people sitting. Wife Isabella, daughter Liu Xiaoyan, and their former teammates, Lukaku in a wheelchair.
UEFA President Ceferin walked to the stage, took out an envelope and announced loudly: "This year's Ballon d'Or winner is Manchester United's Liu!" ”
The award hall erupted in applause.
Messi won the Ballon d'Or, Luo won the Ballon d'Or, and those who support Messi will not be convinced. However, the old lieutenant Liu Yun won the Golden Globe Award, but everyone was convinced.
Needless to say, the goal is on fire. Let's just say that a man in his 40s returned to the pitch at a young age and led Manchester United to a high level in all competitions... With this alone, Liu Yun has won the respect of everyone.
Liu Yun received the Ballon d'Or trophy from UEFA President Ceferin and began to tell his acceptance speech:
"Thank you, Chairman Cheferin, and thank you to all who are here. I'm thrilled to win the Ballon d'Or. Yes, it's an award that professional footballers all over the world aspire to. I would say that I have a lot of people to thank for being able to win the Ballon d'Or. Thank you to my family, to Coach Jose Mourinho of Manchester United, to Coach George of the late Coventry. Thank you to all the Manchester United fans and to all the Manchester United team-mates... There are so many people I want to thank. When I got back on the field, there were a lot of people who helped me in a variety of ways. Without their help, I would never have been where I am today. ”
Liu Yun's acceptance speech in the first half showed the humility unique to Chinese people.
Liu Yun changed his words: "At the same time, I also want to thank the outstanding players here today who are opponents with me on the field!" It's you as opponents who make me improve a little bit. Excellent opponents are usually friends in another sense. ”
The award hall erupted in thunderous applause.
Isabella shed tears of happiness; Liu Xiaoyan is a proud smile. Qu Bai applauded so much that his hands were numb.
Liu Yun returned to his seat with the Golden Globe trophy in hand. His daughter and wife hugged him.
At this moment, Liu Yun is the happiest man in the world. Love, affection, wealth, fame... He has everything a man wants to have.
After the ceremony, the guests dined at the revolving restaurant of the Hotel Relas. At 12 p.m., the Eiffel Tower will host a New Year's Eve fireworks display.
Liu Yun's family, Qu Bai, Qu Bai's uncle, and Lukaku sat at a table for dinner.
Qu Bai was nominated for the Golden Globe Award, which made his uncle ecstatic, and he flew from China to Paris to come to the award ceremony as Qu Bai's family.
Mr. Qu raised his glass: "Congratulations, Lao Liu." You, the Ballon d'Or winner, have proved to the world that we Chinese people play football well. ”
Liu Yun sighed: "The Chinese people have always played good football. Pity.. Those domestic players put their minds all in the places where they shouldn't. Directly leads to the field to become a soft-footed shrimp. ”
Qu Bai nodded: "That's right, Uncle Liu." I recently read a book that says that if you want to succeed in something, you have to put 100% focus on it. They put their minds on women, luxury goods, nightclubs... It's weird to be able to play well! ”
Liu Xiaoyan joked with her little boyfriend: "Eh! Xiaobai, you are now a Golden Globe finalist. It's also considered a success, and you can also learn from your peers in your country... ”
Qu Bai shook his head: "I won't do that!" I hope that one day, I can stand on the stage of the Golden Globe Awards like Uncle Liu. For this goal, I will work as hard as Uncle Liu. ”
Liu Yun waved his hand: "No, if you want to work hard, Xiaoqu, you actually work harder than me." Mr. Five O'Clock's nickname is not for nothing. ”
Liu Yun turned his head to Mr. Qu and said, "Mr. Qu, this nephew of yours is the hardest training in the entire Manchester United team. At five o'clock, while we were still asleep, he had already started his day's training. If he doesn't succeed, God won't tolerate it!"
Hearing Liu Yun praise his nephew, Mr. Qu showed a proud smile on his face: "Where, where." He's at Manchester United, thanks to Lao Liu's care. He told me that as soon as he entered the team, the superstars of Manchester United treated him as their friend, and it was not all for the sake of you, the captain of Manchester United? ”
After dinner, everyone ordered a few more cups of coffee, and sat back and waited for the upcoming New Year's Eve fireworks show.
Isabella called the family's newly hired nanny, and little Cola was already asleep in the seaside villa.
Qu Bai said to Liu Yun: "Uncle Liu, if our Manchester United can win the Champions League this year, it will be considered a real success." ”
Liu Yun nodded: "Yes." However, there are no weak teams in the Champions League, so we can't be careless. ”
Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar... A group of stars in the revolving restaurant came over like old friends and greeted Liu Yun one after another.
Isabella, Liu Xiaoyan, and Qu Bai are no strangers to this. Mr. Qu grew his mouth in surprise.
After the superstars left, Mr. Qu sighed: "Good girl, the first-class players in the world are now called brothers and sisters with Lao Liu." ”
A group of people chatted about the day, and before they knew it, it was 11:59 a.m.
Brilliant fireworks burst into the sky, blooming colorful points of light in the sky, and then dragging a long comet tail down and extinguished. An instant of light whitened the sky, followed by darkness and silence. And so it went on and on.
Beautiful fireworks bless those who love life, cherish feelings, and desire to have happiness in the new year.
Football superstars and their families in the revolving restaurant chanted in unison: "10, 9, 8, 7... 3,2,1。 ”
"Knock knock~" New Year's bell rings. The old year has passed, and the new year has arrived.
UEFA President Ceferin raised his glass: "Happy New Year!" ”
Everyone raised their glasses and said in unison, "Happy New Year!" ”
Liu Yun patted Lukaku on the shoulder: "My brother, Happy New Year." ”
Lukaku squeezed out a wry smile in front of him: "Maybe the happiest thing for me in the new year is to see Manchester United lift the Champions League trophy." ”
Liu Yun looked directly into Lukaku's eyes firmly: "I promise you, Lukaku, we will definitely win the Champions League!" For you, for Mkhitaryan! ”
