But it doesn't matter if it's second or third.

At this year's awards ceremony, there is only one biggest winner, that is, Fan Bizhuang, who won the Golden Ball Award, and the Golden Ball is in the bag, which indicates that Fan Bizhuang is the real "first person in football" in the past year.

As in many sports, people always talk about the champion, and maybe ten or twenty years later, people can still remember the high-profile champion, and there are very few memories of the runner-up and third place.

Messi and Xavi's popularity and influence are also among the best in the world, but people will still only remember Fan Bizhuang who holds the Golden Ball!

The better and stronger the competitors, the more proof that Fan Bizhuang is a more outstanding existence!

The next day, sports newspapers around the world covered the awards ceremony at great length, and the most shining protagonist was undoubtedly the new Ballon d'Or winner - Fan Bizhuang.

The British "Times" directly made a very conspicuous front page with the photos of the three candidates, of course, the conspicuous is Fan Bizhuang holding the Golden Ball, and the second and third winners Messi and Xavi have done some blurring, at least judging from the photos in the newspaper, the prominent core is only Fan Bizhuang alone.

"The glory of the Premier League!"

The Times typed such a headline, and the article was full of congratulations and praise to Fan Bizhuang, as if they were eager to give all the beautiful words to this Chinese teenager who had just arrived in the Premier League and brought back the highest glory Golden Globe Award for the British Isles!

Not only the UK, but also newspapers in European countries also expressed their congratulations and blessings to Fan Bizhuang at the same time.

"Fan Chenggong lifted the Golden Ball Trophy, and the world is at his feet!" - Bild, Germany.

"It's the first time that an Asian player has stood on the top podium of FIFA, and Fan continues to set his own records, which is his legend!" - French newspaper "Le Corpus".

"The indisputable performance, the Golden Ball is the best affirmation and reward for Fan! Deserved! —Le Torino Italia.

"Van is not only a football superstar, but also a linguistic genius, he used three languages in his thank-you speech, and he stunned everyone!" - Spanish Sport Newspaper.

……

In China, a sports outlet designed a well-received front page — a large photograph of Fan Bizhuang standing in front of a microphone with a Golden Globe trophy in hand, as can be seen from the image, Fan Bizhuang was saying a thank you speech in Chinese.

And next to the photo, there is a news headline.

"At the most solemn Christmas ceremony, Fan Ye made a voice that belongs to China!"

"He's our pride, remember, from now on, please call him 'Mr. Golden Ball'!"

This title is very lethal for Chinese fans. Chinese football has no status in world football at all, and now Fan Bizhuang, as a Chinese, has climbed the highest football podium, and has been rendered by the newspapers, and the fans' hearts are full of excitement and excitement.

beat two-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi, Mr. Ballon d'Or, the world's No. 1 person...... It is our Chinese compatriots, as long as we think about it, we feel full of blood!

The newspaper was sold out instantly by fans, and it is said that a lot of it was later reprinted, but it was still sold out...... Many people bought one copy and felt that it was not enough, so they bought two more copies and three copies...... This is the glorious moment of Fan Bizhuang, and it is also the glorious moment of the Chinese fans, who want to remember this day forever, so they completely treat this newspaper as a collection and buy it home to keep it well. In this way, even if Chinese football still has no future, but when you brag to your juniors, you have capital - you are really pitiful, Chinese football is so bad, you don't have anything to be happy except sighing all day long...... Ha, we are different from you, although at that time, Chinese football was as bad as that, but we had Fan Ye, did you see it, Fan Ye was the first person in the world at that time!

Later, some people even openly sold newspapers that were in short supply on the Internet - their prices were ten or a hundred times the original price, but there were still fans who willingly paid for them in order to keep them as a souvenir......

……

Amid the overwhelming praise from the media, Van Bizhuang returned to England with the Ballon d'Or trophy and Ferguson and others.

In Manchester, Van Bizhuang was greeted by the club and the fans, like a triumphant hero, and the whole city was shaken, and countless fans spontaneously took to the streets, wearing the red number seven Manchester United shirt and holding up a poster of Van Bizhuang's portrait, to pay the highest respect to the new Mr. Ballon d'Or.

Manchester United were going to hold a big celebration for Van Bizhuang, but it would have to be at Old Trafford after the league reopened, and Van Bizhuang and his golden ball were shown to the fans in attendance, to be cheered and adored by everyone.

But unexpectedly, the fans were not willing to wait for a moment, Fan Bizhuang just returned to Manchester City, was blocked by the surging crowd on the street, finally, the club temporarily decided, rented an open-air bus, Fan Bizhuang took his golden ball on the bus, began to circle the city to show the fans.

Everywhere he went, he was greeted by a continuous stream of screams and exclamations, and the United fans were like a pilgrimage, fiery and blazing.

On this night, the city of Manchester is completely transformed into a city that never sleeps!

……

The frenzy of the FIFA Awards ceremony has not subsided, and after a brief hiatus in the Premier League, the battle is back in flames.

On 17 January, Manchester United hosted a door-to-door challenge from lower-middle side Blackburn.

Manchester United had been preparing for several days of celebrations, and it was finally implemented in earnest – they arranged a special ceremony for Van Bizhuang, and after the players from both sides came out, they did not run directly onto the pitch, but lined up in two teams at the entrance of the players' tunnel, like a welcoming guard of honour, whether it was Manchester United players or Blackburn Rovers, they all clapped their hands.

In such a welcome and the envious eyes of his peers, Fan Bizhuang trotted into the court with the Golden Ball trophy in both hands.

The teammates and opponents on both sides clapped their hands even more violently.

And the Old Trafford stadium also broke out into huge cheers in an instant.

"Mr. Golden Globe! Mr. Golden Ball! ”

"The first person in the world! Today's Fan is truly the first person in the world! ”

"This is Fan! This is our King Your Majesty! Hooray, Van ! ”

The fans shouted hoarsely, as if only such roars and roars could fully release the enthusiasm in their hearts.

These cheers and applause are dedicated to the new Golden Globe winners.

Fan Bizhuang successfully reached the top, this is the treatment he deserves!

In the endless hustle and bustle, Fan Bizhuang once again raised the Golden Ball trophy in his hand high and roared angrily!

This is another highlight of his career!

After lifting the Hercules Cup and winning the highest team honor in football for only half a year, Fan Bizhuang lifted the highest trophy symbolizing personal honor!

Fan Bizhuang has truly stepped into the ranks of the world's top superstars, whether it is fame, influence, or personal honors, he deserves the top title!

Because, he is Mr. Golden Ball, and he is what he is now...... The first person in the world!

……

In the end, United beat visiting Blackburn Rovers 5-0 at home, with Kaka and Wayne Rooney scoring a goal each, and young right wing-back Rafael also scoring the icing on the cake, and the Brazilian youngster playing more and more composure and excellence at right wing-back made the veteran Neville feel a huge pressure, and he is now still from injury and can only be exempted from the game - but if Rafael can continue this consistent performance, even if the United captain returns, it is estimated that he will have to sit on the bench for the time being.

Fan Bizhuang also scored two goals in the game, his performance was as consistent and excellent as ever, as he said in his thank-you speech at the award ceremony, he will not stop, he and his team have more glory to conquer!

After the game, Fan Bizhuang naturally became the focus of the media's scramble to report, Mr. Xinke Golden Ball killed all sides, Mr. Xinke Golden Ball was in a brave state, Mr. Xinke Golden Ball was unstoppable, etc., such praise remarks emerged in endlessly.

And for Manchester United and Van Bizhuang, such a big win is also a good incentive.

After tying the longest seventeen-game winning streak in Europe's top league, Manchester United's winning streak was unexpectedly drawn by the downstream team Birmingham, which actually put Manchester United under a lot of pressure, after all, the previous results are too good, and it is inevitable that many media will see the wind and waves when they stop suddenly.

The big score to beat Blackburn Rovers means that Manchester United has no problems, the draw in the last round is just a small accident on the way to conquest, and now Van Bizhuang has a golden goal, Manchester United is even more imposing, they will continue to gallop all the way on the track of victory!

……

After the Blackburn Rovers game, Manchester United will have another week of fixtures in the double fixture schedule.

Four days later, United travelled to London to take on north London giants Tottenham Hotspur.

The White Lilies are also a traditional powerhouse in the Premier League, but this team seems to have little ambition and a bit of a passable feel, and although there are a lot of great players in the team, their biggest desire each season seems to be to be as high as possible in the points, and it would be nice if they had the opportunity to go around the European arena and add some extra income.

In terms of overall strength, Tottenham has the ability to wrestle with Manchester United, but in terms of spirit, Tottenham does not match its own strength.

So in the face of such a strong but unambitious team, Ferguson hid part of the main team and sent a starting lineup that combined the main force and the substitute.
