In this era of high-speed information dissemination, when Iroh met with Tang Shun and Lin Yao, vice presidents of the Football Association, in a high-end café in London, this news appeared on the four major portals of China's domestic network Yi, Sohu, Penguin, and New Wolf.

At this time, it was only eight o'clock in the evening Beijing time, so there were many netizens surfing the Internet, so it immediately attracted the attention of countless people, and in less than an hour, millions of comments appeared in the comments below the headlines.

However, it is a pity that the Football Association has now left work, and the chairman and vice president of the Football Association who are far away in the United Kingdom have no way to be interviewed, so they can only wait slowly if they want to know the latest news.

The next day, the headline of "Sports Daily" attracted the attention of fans across the country: The spring of Chinese football! Go ahead, Olympics! World Cup Qualifiers!!

"At four o'clock yesterday afternoon, our reporter in London successfully interviewed Tang Shun, chairman of China's XX Football Association, and Lin Yao, vice chairman of China's XX Football Association, and learned from them that in the future international break, we will see young players in Europe wearing five-star red flag national team jerseys, including Chelsea Elo, Borussia Dortmund von Shotting, Schalke 04 Hao Junmin, Werder Bremen Gao Lin, Napoli Chen Tao ......"

“…… These players are the players we want to be able to enter the national team day and night, so for us this moment is a dream come true, please remember this day! Because we can see our favorite players wearing national team jerseys for their country at the Olympic Games at our doorstep, and we can also see them wearing national jerseys to participate in the upcoming 2010 South Africa World Cup Asian Qualifiers Top 20. ”

The day a newspaper is published is when it is sold out.

Fortunately, the editor-in-chief of "Sports Daily" had unprecedented foresight, and all branches began to print non-stop.

Although the workers feel hard, the overtime pay is very optimistic.

The "Sports Daily" made a lot of money, the workers also had more income, and the Chinese people were willing to spend the money to buy the newspaper.

How did the economy and society come about? That's how it came about!

On the 14th, after having a brief lunch with the Chinese agent Li Shiyin and his godson Li Ai at noon, Iroh drove his car to London Heathrow International Airport, where he was going to attend the 2007 FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony in Zurich, Switzerland at 8 o'clock this evening.

According to the appointment time with Cristiano Ronaldo, the two first met at Zurich International Airport in Switzerland, and then had dinner together at around 5 p.m.

Originally, the two were going to play a table tennis match in Zurich, but they met a lot of acquaintances on the street, so the itinerary was forced to change, and Cristiano Ronaldo also gave an interview to Chinese reporters.

At 7:30 p.m., football celebrities, movie stars or music superstars who have received FIFA invitations will enter the glittering Zurich Congress Center to prepare for the upcoming FIFA annual awards ceremony.

The whole venue can be described as star-studded, Manchester United legend Bobby Charlton, German Emperor Beckenbauer, Matthaus, football champion Pele and others have come to the conference center one after another, adding a lot of color to the upcoming annual FIFA awards ceremony.

The FIFA annual awards ceremony starts at 8 p.m. local time, which is 3 a.m. Beijing time, which is not a good time for Chinese fans thousands of miles away.

It was even said that the last time was very bad, because I had to go to work the next day, but at this time, there were still a lot of fans gathered in front of the TV and the computer, because they all wanted to see the style of the reigning World Footballer!

As the favorite to win World Footballer of the Year in 2007, Iello naturally received the most attention, and he bumped into Kaka at the door, and then the three entered the convention center side by side.

The scene happened to be filmed by sensitive reporters, because regardless of the final result, the side-by-side entry of the trio was enough to make them hype up after the game.

The 2007 FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony was officially opened with the singing of world-famous singer Declan Galbraith and the beautiful symphonic accompaniment.

The first awards were Canada's 2007 Under-20 World Junior Player of the Year and South Korea's Under-17 World Junior Player of the Year, which were won by Argentina's Sergio Aguero and Germany's Toni Kroos.

Next up was the Beach Soccer World Cup Player of the Year, which was awarded to Brazil's Blu.

None of these awards were noteworthy for Elo, so he texted back while watching the speeches on the stage during this time, because there were so many friends wishing him to defend his World Footballer of the Year.

During this time, Barcelona president Joan Laporta won the fair play award for Barcelona, while Pele received the special chairman's award at the hands of Bobby Charlton, the Argentine national team won the award for the best men's national team, and Miss World Football was undisputed by Marta, who led Brazil to the Women's World Cup.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that the guests at the scene are waiting in a hurry at this moment, right? That's right...... We will be presenting the grand finale of the evening - World Footballer of the Year 2007! ”

There was a loud and neat applause at the scene.

At the same time, it also brings Elo, who is playing with his mobile phone, back to reality.

Then the big screen at the Zurich Convention Center in Switzerland began to show the wonderful footage of Iello, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo in the league and the Champions League last season.

The director of the scene is also very interesting, and the camera is switched to the faces of the three people one after another, close-up.

However, in addition to Aillo's relatively calm expression, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo's expressions are a little dull, because they do not have much confidence in the selection of the World Footballer of the Year.

Eloco led Valencia to La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the UEFA Champions League last season.

The three honors are gathered together, where is there to fight?

"Now I would like to introduce you to Portuguese rising star Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the three finalists for the 2007 World Footballer of the Year award!"

At this moment, the male host at the scene said with a smile.

The big screen shot was also fixed on Cristiano Ronaldo's portrait, and then his highlights throughout 2007.

This was followed by AC Milan's Kaka.

Iro, who has been identified as the biggest favorite of the World Footballer of the Year in 2007, stayed at the end: "Now I have the winner of last year's World Footballer of the Year - Ai from China! ”

Bang Bang Bang -

Accompanied by the magnetic voice of the male host, the guests at the scene all clapped their palms, and their voices were loud.

In charge of the World Footballer of the Year award are Pele, who received the President's Special Award, and FIFA President Blatter.

The camera begins to return to Pele, who holds the World Footballer of the Year Gold Award, and FIFA President Sepp Blatter, who is responsible for announcing the World Footballer of the Year winner.

The Chinese fans who were waiting in front of the TV began to hold their breath and woke up completely from sleepiness, and they could even feel the beating of their hearts.

Of course, Iroh at the scene was also a little nervous.

He feels that although he is undisputed to win the World Footballer of the Year, as long as the final result is not announced, then the award is still full of suspense.

Pele placed the gold medal on the podium, while FIFA President Sepp Blatter walked up to the microphone, then lowered the height of the microphone and coughed lightly before lowering his head and unsealing the envelope in his hand.

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but Blatter's move was very slow, at least the fans in front of the TV and the three candidates felt that it was almost a century long.

During this time, the director changed the camera connection to the three candidates and gave a close-up shot each.

As soon as the camera turned, Blatter had already opened the envelope and took out the small card inside, he looked down at the name in the lower right corner of the card, and showed a playful smile.

Many Chinese fans have a sense of horror when they see this shot, because UEFA and FIFA have always been at odds, and the World Footballer of the Year award at last year's FIFA Awards ceremony was like this, when everyone thought that the World Footballer was Cannavaro who helped Italy win the World Cup, Bra at that time smiled mysteriously, and then the World Footballer became Elo's bag.

And this year's European Ballon d'Or winner is Elo, so will it be Kaka or Cristiano Ronaldo of the World Footballer of the Year?

"Well, now FIFA President Mr. Blatter has opened the envelope containing the eventual World Footballer of the Year winner, which means that he has seen the eventual World Footballer of the Year winner, so ...... Who will be elected next? Will it be Ello, who led Valencia to an unprecedented treble last season, or Cristiano Ronaldo, who led Manchester United to a return to the Premier League? Or ......"

Liu Jianhong, the commentator of CVAV-5, began to talk endlessly.

But at this moment, Blatter raised his head and approached the microphone and made a joke: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor to stand here and unveil the final gold medal of the World Footballer of the Year, in the past year, there have been many outstanding players, but only one player has won this award, so who is this winner?" ”

With Liu Jianhong's translation, the fans in front of the TV have begun to greet Blatter's ancestors for eighteen generations, and half a second later, Blatter's voice changed and rose an octave: "The 2007 FIFA World Footballer of the Year is—"

The camera of the scene switches to the faces of Iro, Kaka, and Cristiano Ronaldo one after another.

All of them held their breath.

The same is true for the three parties.

Speaking of this, Blatter flipped the small card in his hand, so that the named side faced the main camera of the Zurich Congress Center, and at the same time shouted: "- Ai from China!" Congratulations!!! ”

ps: Send it three more, don't waste it if you have tickets......
