Chapter 245: Golden Globe Awards Selection (3)

I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival~

According to the scoring rules of the Ballon d'Or, each journalist who gets the ballot can write the names of the three most famous players of the year in order on the ballot, the first player will get 5 points, the second and third place will get 3 points and 1 point respectively, and after adding up the scores on all the votes, the top three players will receive the European Gold, Silver and Bronze Balls of the year awarded by France Football respectively.

As mentioned earlier, due to a major change in the selection mechanism of this year's European Ballon d'Or, the workload this year is much larger than before, and it is obviously impossible for Europeans who strictly adhere to the eight-hour working day to calculate the voting results overtime, so France Football as the organizer of the event has to be forced to postpone the announcement of the final voting results until the first Monday after Christmas this year.

As is customary, after the final voting results, France Football sends a team of journalists to the homes of the top three scorers for an exclusive interview, and they are also invited to attend the Ballon d'Or awards gala.

This time, the three players who received the invitations to the awards gala were naturally the favorites of the outside world: Fiorentina's Batistuta, Bayern Munich's Jurgen Klinsmann, and AC Milan's George Weah. This also means that two players in the top three of this year's European Ballon d'Or are from Serie A, which also reflects the current grand situation of Serie A.

By the way, in the fifteen years since the Italian national team won the Shijie Cup in 1982 until last year, there have only been three players who have not played in Serie A when they won the Ballon d'Or (former Soviet striker Belanov in 1986, French striker Jean-Pierre Papin in 1991, and Bulgarian striker Stoichkov last year).

It is precisely because there have been so many "gentlemen" for more than ten years, so the appeal of Serie A to well-known stars in this period is far from being comparable to other leagues, for example, Parma brought in Stoichkov from FC Barcelona this summer, a superstar who has just won the Ballon d'Or can agree to join Parma, who has not even won the league title, instead of choosing a giant team in other leagues, I have to say that the strong appeal of Serie A has played a big role in this.

Similarly, Fiorentina also benefited from this when they brought in players from abroad, Djokafken joined Fiorentina in Serie B at the time because the club had a high hope of promotion at that time, and Rui Costa and Davies were willing to join the purple lilies as rotation players, but they were not attracted by the "first league of Shijie" in Serie A.

Gossip, after Zhuang Mingge heard that Batistuta was invited by "French Football" to participate in this year's European Golden Globe Awards Gala, he donated his private jet without saying a word, and flew Batistuta's family and Karin, Little Groz and several other beauties who had to go with them to see the world - Paris, France, where the award ceremony was located.

"I said boss, how do I feel that you are more nervous than me?" Sitting on the plane, Barty looked at his boss, and he found that the Florentine president, who was younger than himself, had an extremely nervous look in his eyes at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny - it seems that this young chairman, who has already achieved a successful career in the eyes of outsiders, still has his immature side.

"Who's nervous! Don't talk nonsense, Gabriel, be careful and I'll deduct your wages when you go back. Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting on the high-end sofa, twisted his head and said duplicitously, "We went to Paris this time to be Gabriel's support group, and you still laughed at me so heartlessly!" ”

It's not that the jury that worries about the Ballon d'Or is biased in favor of the Liberian, this is the first time Barty has been so close to the Ballon d'Or, and if he loses because of factors other than this kind of competition, it will be a regret for a lifetime.

After all, there are many superstars who have missed out on the Golden Globe for various unexpected reasons, and have never had the chance to win this highest level of individual honor again. For example, Puskas in 1960, Facchetti in 1965, Baggio and Maldini in 1994......

"Haha......" Batistuta couldn't help it, clutching his stomach and laughing.

“……”

"Hey! Gabriel, you're too unkind! Karin and Little Groz, who were watching the interaction between the two on the side, also participated in the conversation, and together they denounced Barty next to him, pretending to be annoyed.

"Hehe, I'm really sorry, I accidentally offended the three young ladies, I don't know what to do to apologize?" Batistuta has a very good relationship with Zhuang Mingge, and he is naturally quite familiar with these women as a guest at Zhuang Mingge's house, so he casually joked and said.

"Or else." Little Grosz, the most financially minded of the three, came up with an idea, "Tony said before that you have a great chance of winning the Golden Globe this time, so Gabriel, if you really win this award, just treat everyone in the cabin to a big meal." ”

Barty breathed a sigh of relief when he heard little Grosz say this, thinking that his current weekly salary was $30,000, and it wouldn't be a big problem to go to some more upscale places for a treat.

However, the Argentine obviously underestimated Groz's determination to find the field for Zhuang Mingge and her own blackness, only to see Groz Jr. continued: "As for which restaurant it is, we still need to discuss it carefully, and the level must be a three-Michelin restaurant." ”

Poof--Batistuta squirted all the coffee he had just drunk when he heard little Groz's words......

"Rebecca, you have such a good idea, it's settled!" Karin immediately agreed.

"I agree with Rebecca, Gabriel, you have to remember to treat you after you win the Golden Globe~" Little Alyssa said to the Argentine with an innocent expression, but the words sounded extremely black.

Batistuta suddenly sweated when he heard this, and said: "I said three ladies, I was just joking with Antonio just now, you must not take it seriously." "Argentines said that if this situation continues, after winning the Golden Globe Awards, they will not be slaughtered by these black-bellied ladies to bankruptcy.

For the sake of his wallet and his future life, Batistuta decisively confessed.

In this way, in a burst of laughter, the plane carrying everyone arrived at Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris.
