Chapter 498: Golden Ball
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, when He Xu was once again caught by his teammates and thrown into the air without knowing it, when Liang Zhao smiled bitterly at Tang Lintian with some melancholy...... It's over. Liang Zhao then followed Iniesta, climbed the podium, received a dim silver medal from the person who had been awarding them trophies and gold medals for the previous three years, and then hurried off the field.
He Xu, who didn't get the congratulations of his friends, didn't blame Liang Zhao, because he knew that Liang Zhao had no way to squeeze into his side now. At this time, he was standing under the podium, ready to go up to receive the award, and behind him, followed by his excited teammates, except for Ronaldinho, the rest of these people are all winning the Champions League for the first time, and a larger part of them are actually reaching the Champions League final for the first time. Is this true? Did we win the championship? ”
He Xu is calm, because he is at the front of the team at the moment, and he also represents his teammates to receive the "Big Ears Cup" that has just been engraved with their team name from Platini, the president of UEFA and the successful re-election again!
When He Xu shouted "We are the champions" and raised the trophy high, red and white confetti suddenly erupted from behind their backs and above their heads. Of course, there are also golden confetti that symbolize glory and victory. He Xu realized at this time that he didn't seem to be so sober. He held the trophy and put it down, a little at a loss as to what he was going to do next. Kiss the trophy? Or do you want to hand it to your teammates? At this moment, Platini, who was standing on the podium, bent down and whispered in He Xu's ear, "Kid, why don't you hand it to your teammates?" Share the joy. ”
He Xu smiled very embarrassedly at the midfield master who won the Ballon d'Or for three consecutive years, "Sir, I'm not so experienced in this kind of thing. So it's not very good......" Platini just looked at him and smiled.
When Mariano next to him received the trophy. Platini suddenly added, "Maybe in the coming days, you'll need to do this kind of thing a lot more often!" It's an exciting team, isn't it? ”
His gaze swept over the Arsenal players beside He Xu. He Xu also turned his head to look. I have to admit that my team is indeed like this. It's like Platini said...... Maybe our time is coming? He Xu thought.
After receiving the trophy and celebrating the group photo, the Arsenal players spread out on the pitch hill of the Stade de France, where they could celebrate with impunity. That's the privilege of a champion. The new UEFA Champions League champion, on this day, was born in the 2015~2016 season, Arsenal, the new king of Europe......
At this time, the players of the two teams no longer belong to them. This time should belong to the commentators and reporters. Elena still rushed to the venue with great speed, but this time the camera, the microphone, and the interview transcript were all lost to her unknown whereabouts. At this time, what she had to do was very simple, she screamed with tears on her face, threw herself in front of He Xu, hugged her boyfriend, and kissed him passionately.
The Arsenal players, who originally wanted to let He Xu fly up again during the celebration, had to clap their hands and laugh and disperse, leaving time and space for the couple. They all know that they can still throw their great captain into the air after the team celebrations. Such a captain, no matter who it is, hopes to be able to throw him up with his teammates after winning the championship, and then pay a good respect......
Elena hugged He Xu, and then muttered a word in He Xu's ear, after speaking, without waiting for He Xu to answer, she kissed him on the face and turned away, He Xu touched the place where he had just been kissed, and recalled Elena just now with a shocked look. What Miss Bird said to herself was plain but seemed like a thunderbolt to He Xu, "He Xu! Let's get married! ”
He Xu just smirked and watched his girlfriend or fiancée go to interview their head coach again, while he was pulled aside by his teammates and celebrated together. In the process of celebrating, He Xu whispered the news to Tang Lintian, thinking that he would get Tang Lintian's blessing, but he didn't expect that this guy who always gave him an assist actually began to dismantle his platform at this time, Tang Lintian glanced at him, and asked coldly, "Will I tell you that Zhang Yao is three months pregnant?" Well? You backward fellow! ”
He Xu looked at Tang Lintian, who was only twenty-two years old at the same age as him, and was even a few months younger than him, and after glaring at him for a few seconds, he said very hatefully, "You should show off to Liang Zhao, he is not only older than you, but he has never been in love yet!" Before the words fell, he was grabbed by Xiao Luo from behind, and then his teammates worked together to throw He Xu high and let him fly again......
Of course, Tang Lintian also paid the price for his ridicule of He Xu, He Xu didn't know how to spread the news that Tang Lintian had just told him, although everyone's targets became Tang Lintian. In the end, Tang Lintian was dizzy and proposed to let his teammates dance a cradle dance against the trophy with him, and his teammates let him go.
When he returned to the team's residence after this crazy celebration, it was already the second half of the night, He Xu drank a lot of wine at the celebration, returned to the hotel room, and quickly fell asleep. This feeling of success and fame does not seem to be inferior to the feeling of getting an actor in the previous life...... With drunkenness and very tired happiness, He Xu fell asleep deeply, he seemed to see something happy in his sleep, at least when Tang Lintian woke up the next day, he saw the smile on He Xu's face who was still asleep.
The 2015~2016 season is officially over, in this season, Arsenal won the "Treble" for the first time, and He Xu also won the English Premier League for the first time, the UEFA Champions League and the English FA Cup three major cup scorers and "Most Valuable Player".
Some things seem to come naturally, He Xu was nominated for the Ballon d'Or again after a successful season, and then after the joint vote of football celebrities and various current big names, he entered the final three candidates for the "Ballon d'Or" for the second time in his life. Only this time, the people who won the three places with him have changed, and Cristiano, who has not won anything for several years at Real Madrid. Ronaldo seems to have faded out of the competition for this selection, but Messi, the "king of the ball" who is over 30 years old, is still standing. The third person to enter the three is Messi's younger brother, but Liang Zhao, a Chinese forward who has been able to take charge on his own.
He Xu knew that in the voting of the captains of various national teams, Liang Zhao voted for himself, not himself. He Xu actually didn't understand his brother's approach, but Liang Zhao smiled, "I will vote for myself next year." As for this year, I don't want to waste my precious vote......"
He Xu was confused when he said this, but soon, he understood what Liang Zhao meant. Just when Barcelona was crazy about their two stars entering the final three-man list of the "Ballon d'Or", 2017 quietly came, on the day the final results of the Ballon d'Or were announced, in the famous Kongresshaus hall in Zurich, Switzerland, when the special guest of honor, Arsenal's head coach Arsène. Arsene Wenger followed the host to open the envelope containing the winners and read out the names of the winners, and the world was shocked.
"Below, I announce that the 2017 Ballon d'Or winners are...... He comes from a lesser-known football country and plays for a less strong club team. However, he changed the situation! Congratulations to He Xu for winning the Golden Ball! ”
He Xu was a little stunned, but Liang Zhao beside him was the first to make a move, he turned around and hugged his brother with a smile on his face, and slapped He Xu's back with his fist. He Xu came to his senses at this time, and then hugged Messi on the other side of him, who won the Golden Ball Award four times in a row but was interrupted by him this time. The Argentines didn't say so much, they simply congratulated. While congratulating, Messi has vaguely felt that his era may be over, and whether he can win the Golden Ball Award again depends on the faces of these young people!
In the end, Messi won the silver ball, while Liang Zhao only got a bronze ball with an undisputed number of votes. He Xu noticed at this time that he only got one more vote than Messi...... He was surprised and glad at this, and couldn't help but glance back at Liang Zhao. Liang Zhao whispered to him in Chinese, "Please, don't look at me like this!" Dude, I'm going to keep messing around in Barcelona in the future! What are you going to do with me? ”
He Xu said to him with some joy: "Arsenal's arms are always open to you!" You're welcome. ”
Liang Zhao smiled, "Forget it!" I'd better not compete with Tang Lintian for the jersey number! It's not easy for him......" (To be continued......)
