Chapter 336: No suspense
“…… As I lay in my hospital bed and looked at the hospital ceiling, I never dared to think that I would one day stand on this stage. At that time, I was asking myself the question 'Can I still play?' But now that I have the opportunity to stand here, I don't sigh at the miracle of fate, because I know what has made me where I am today......"
David Silva sat in his place, his head bowed, muttering to himself, a voice so small that only he could hear.
But the people next to him could see what he was doing, and his teammate José Passarella was sitting next to him, and when he saw that he had kept his head down and his lips were squirming, but he didn't make a sound, he touched his arm: "What are you doing?" ”
David Silva, who was interrupted, looked up and said with a smile: "I'm practicing saying acceptance speeches!" ”
Jose Passarella rolled his eyes, and Modric, who was sitting behind them, smiled when he heard it: "You don't take your national team teammate Iniesta too seriously!" And that Messi! ”
"Is there still any suspense about this?" Goetze shrugged: "David must be a Golden Globe!" No one can be stronger than him! ”
"Lazio finally have a Ballon d'Or player......"
"Hey, did you forget Falcao?"
"He wasn't a Lazio player when he won the Ballon d'Or......"
Everyone happily discussed the upcoming award ceremony, which is the moment when the awards were announced.
The players were also in high spirits and they were all genuinely happy with David Silva's success.
Even Gotze wouldn't be jealous.
Because they're going to draw this simple conclusion from David Silva's success – David Silva can succeed, then we just have to keep playing at Lazio. We can do the same!
The boss has said that he will not lose his desire for honor, and under the leadership of such a coach, our results will definitely get better and better.
That's when the time comes. There will definitely be opportunities of their own.

Chang Sheng listened to the frolicking of the players in the rows behind the seat, and he also smiled.
His arrival into this world has changed a lot of history as he knows it, and he hopes this time will be no exception.
David Silva needs this award and deserves it.
If all of this is the case. If you let Messi win the Ballon d'Or...... That's a shame!
It's not him and David Silva's, it's a great disgrace for FIFA!

The Lazio players arrived in Zurich on the day of the award ceremony and took a break in the afternoon before changing into their formal attire for the FIFA Awards Ceremony at the Convention Centre in the evening.
Before the game, Chang Sheng also met Pep Guardiola and Bosque, two "contenders" for the best coach, but the relationship between the three seemed to be quite harmonious, and they did not look separated because they wanted to compete for the best manager.
Chang Sheng also chatted with the two of them separately.
He thanked Bosque in person for agreeing to play a warm-up match with the Chinese team: "I owe you a favor, Del. ”
Bosque shook his head repeatedly: "Don't say that. Often. How many good players have you produced for Spain? I haven't thanked you for that yet......"
Chang Sheng also expressed his support for Guardiola. He knows that Pep Guardiola's current days at Barcelona are not as comfortable as they seem. Because Cruyff criticized him a lot.
"You can ignore what the old guy said."
Guardiola smiled and shook his head: "I know, you don't have to worry. Often. ”
But it's not the three of them who attract the most attention.
Rather, they were the three players who were selected for the final three-man squad for the Ballon d'Or.
Messi and Andres Iniesta came at the same time, as they were both Barcelona players.
When they appear on the red carpet. It caused a commotion among the reporters and fans waiting outside. The flash keeps coming on.
Messi and Andres Iniesta waved to them with smiles on their faces.
There were also reporters who wanted to interview them, but the two did not stay long, but left quickly.
Perhaps they themselves know that they are not the protagonists of this awards ceremony.
Even Andres Iniesta doesn't think he can beat his team-mate David Silva for his national team.
David Silva has one more Champions League title than him, and that alone is deadly.
As for Messi, he will not think that he can win this honor again......
In fact, other people think the same way.
So when David Silva appeared on the red carpet, the cheers were much louder and the flashing lights came on faster.
David Silva couldn't hide the smile on his face and happily responded to everyone's cheers for him.
It's just ...... It's imperative!
※※※
FIFA's annual awards ceremony, which is the first time that Chang Sheng has participated.
Because FIFA did not set up the best coach award before, and Chang Sheng is not the head coach of the national team, there is naturally no need to attend the FIFA awards ceremony.
He has not been absent from the UEFA awards ceremony every year.
The FIFA Awards Ceremony, which he had only seen on TV before his victory, was not thrilled to be able to be in it in person.
For him, it has been twelve years since he crossed into this world, and he has long been accustomed to today's life, and his mentality is not complicated.
So the previous fan mentality is gradually disappearing.
He is also a person who has seen big scenes, and this kind of award ceremony is pediatric for him.
He sat in his place, crossed Erlang's legs, and began to watch the play.

According to the principle that the important ones are generally left behind, the award ceremony of the Ballon d'Or for men's footballers must be left last.
The previous prizes were all small prizes.
For example, what is the Team of the Year, what Puskas is the Goal of the Year award, what is the FIFA Fair Play Award. What FIFA President's Special Prize...... This kind of thing.
The Best Manager Award is a new award, which is still more important. After all, this is the most important award besides the player's individual award.
The final result was not unexpected by the media, with a winning victory over World Cup winner Del Bosque, the head coach of the Spanish national team. and Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, who became the best manager in world football in the past year.
Chang Sheng had a faint smile on his face, in the applause of everyone. He got up from his seat and high-fived the Lazio players next to him one by one as he walked out of it.
Finally he walked onto the stage.
The guest in charge of presenting the award was FIFA President Blatter.
With the trophy in his hand, he stretched out his hand to Chang Sheng.
"Congratulations, Chang." He said.
"Thank you, Mr. President." Chang Sheng shook hands with him and then took the trophy.
He then gave a very short acceptance speech: "I'm very happy to receive this award. It's an affirmation of my work, and no one doesn't love praise and compliments, and so do I. I love your praise and affirmation. Thank you! ”
Then he raised the trophy. Greetings to all.
Then he was applauded. Get off the stage.
It's a bit surprising that he didn't make any arrogant declarations.
Like, "I deserve this award." Because I'm the best" "I don't think it's meaningful, I'm definitely the best, is there any doubt about that? "Something like that.
As a matter of fact. The protagonist this time is not always winning, if he is too arrogant. It may be a big deal.

After the award of the best coach, it is the turn of the best player.
The first award was given to the best female footballer, which is the Ballon d'Or for women's football.
Brazilian women's footballer Marta won the award, and this is the fifth time in a row that she has won this award, completing the feat of "five consecutive championships".
This was followed by the men's Ballon d'Or ceremony.
The three candidates took the stage at the same time, and the big screen played a promotional video of the three of them, which showed their outstanding performance in the competition.
Andres Iniesta's stunning goal in the World Cup final, as well as Messi's record-breaking goal in Gerd Muller, and David Silva lifting the Champions League trophy in the air, were all shown repeatedly.
Of the three candidates, David Silva stood on the far right, with Andres Iniesta and Messi on the left.
David Silva had a distinct smile on his face, and it was clear that he was in a good mood.
And Messi and Iniesta's expressions were somewhat calm.
Especially Messi, it may not be an exaggeration to describe it as Mu Ran - he knows that he can't win the award, so he comes up to be a foil for others.
He also had to be glad that he wasn't doing something for Cristiano Ronaldo, otherwise it would have driven him crazy.

The person in charge of the draw was Pep Guardiola.
Let a Barcelona manager present awards to Lazio's players...... Fortunately, the players of Guardiola and Lazio are also relatively familiar, otherwise it would really make people think that this is FIFA deliberately embarrassing Guardiola......
After Guardiola came to the stage, there was no nonsense, he directly picked up the envelope and said to the camera: "It was ...... who won the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or of the year"
After speaking, he began to bow his head and open the envelope, giving everyone a suspense time.
The venue fell silent for a while, and everyone held their breath and watched his movements.
The sound of the paper being dismantled came from the microphone.
It's actually very short, but many people think it's been a long time, and Guardiola pulled out the piece of paper in the envelope.
It was a folded piece of paper.
He needed to open it to see what's inside.
He looked up at the camera and smiled.
At the critical moment, it is necessary to hang the audience's appetite.
"Pep Guardiola is deliberately selling out here, but it really doesn't make sense, everyone knows that David Silva has the best chance of winning the Ballon d'Or, it's a no-brainer......" The TV show's supporter also laughed.
His words can represent the most general opinion, and the vast majority of people, except for fans of Andres Iniesta and Messi, will think that David Silva has almost won the Ballon d'Or.
Yes, there is no suspense.
Amid the laughter of the narrator, Guardiola lowered his head and opened the paper in his hand.
His expression was stunned for a moment when he saw the name on it.
This subtle change in expression did not escape the capture of the camera, and on the big screen at the scene, Guardiola's surprised expression also appeared.
Of course, soon, his expression returned to normal, and he looked up again and read into the camera lens: "The Golden Globe winner is ...... Messi. ”
There was an uproar at the scene!
