Chapter 188: Men of the Year in the Sports World
While various media outlets were reporting on Atletico's rise, Ringer had already appeared at the Capital International Airport.
Ringer and Krot and others came out of the airport, and there were a lot of fans outside to pick them up.
"Happy 23rd birthday, Boss!"
"Ball Fairy Ball Fairy, Rocket Ascension!"
Looking at this banner, Ringer was a little nervous.
He knows that the fans mean to praise him for his rapid rise in La Liga, but can the word ascension really be used casually?
Ringer did not deliberately hide the itinerary, and the fans who came to pick up the airport this time were really crowded.
With the help of Jaime Wilson, the Yankee bodyguard, Ringer quickly got in the car and left, signing autographs for fans, there were too many people.
Ringer came back on purpose to participate in the award of Yang Ma's sports figure of the year.
After Krott communicated with the other party, the other party agreed to advance the date by a few days, and Ringer came back to participate.
On the way to the hotel, Krot suddenly said to Ringer, "Forest, good news. ”
"What's the good news?"
"There's an invitation from your club at FIFA to attend the annual awards ceremony on January 13th."
"That means?"
"yes, you should have beaten the Swede and won the Team of the Year."
In FIFA's annual awards, invitations are sent to players or coaches who are shortlisted for the top three awards, such as the top three Ballon d'Or and the top three Puskas awards. Top 3 Best Coaches.
The Team of the Year is also announced on the day of the ceremony, but there is no such thing as a top-three, so they will also send out invitations to players who have not been selected for other awards but have been selected to the All-Star team.
For this year's awards, Ringer has no other awards, only one team of the year to compete for, if FIFA sends him an invitation, it means that it is very likely that the best team will be selected.
Ringer came to the hotel to rest for a while, and in the afternoon rushed to the Mastercard Center in Haidian District, the Wukesong Gymnasium, which was previously built for the Olympics, where this year's Sports Personality of the Year Awards will be held.
"Ringer~~ Ringer!!"
As soon as Ringer arrived outside the stadium, he saw a lot of fans waiting for him.
There are special security guards to help maintain order, and Ringer can go over and sign two names.
"Ringer, come on, get rid of Barcelona and Real Madrid, every year La Liga is their turn, and they are tired of watching it."
"In the Champions League, we need to score more penalties and try to win the Golden Boot."
The fans are giving him advice.
Although the award of this sports figure has an official background, it is mainly hosted by Yang Ma, so it has been more in line with public opinion for many years.
But this year, Evergrande has won the AFC Champions League historically, and domestic football is a little hot, and several football players have been selected.
Ringer met an acquaintance.
"Brother Zheng, long time no see." Ringer went up to shake hands with Zheng Zhi, the captain of Evergrande.
Zheng Zhi was elected Asian Footballer of the Year and was also shortlisted for the Male Athlete of the Year award, which can be regarded as one of Ringer's competitors.
There is also Wu Sanshi of Shanghai SIPG on the side, who was shortlisted for the best newcomer.
In fact, Evergrande head coach Lippi was also shortlisted for the best coach, but at the end of the season, he went back to Europe for a vacation and did not come at all.
Outside the gymnasium, Ringer met many famous domestic sports stars.
"Brother Ding, hello, hello." This is Ding Junhui who fights snooker.
"That sister, I'm glad to be there." Li Na who plays tennis.
~~~
A group of people are all his seniors, and everyone has to go up and call him brother or sister.
Finally, everyone entered the gymnasium, and tonight's awards were about to begin.
As soon as the host came up, it was more than half an hour of sensationalism, anyway, Ringer was not poked at the emotional point, and he looked at his data boringly.
User: Unknown
Age: 22
Body Values (80)
Strength: 16
Speed: 16 (*)
Stamina: 20
Flexible: 15
Bounce: 13
Technical Values(79)
Dribbling: 15
Passing: 16
Vision: 18
Archery: 16
Defense: 14
In the last six months, Ringer's body stats have increased by 2 points, and he has added to his agility and bounce.
The body value also entered 80 points, and Ringer found that after entering 80 points, the growth of the value slowed down again.
In the technical category, Ringer's passing, vision and defense automatically increased by a point, bringing the total to 79.
While Ringer was looking at his stats, the awards officially began.
Li Jinzhe won the best newcomer in the long jump, but Wu Sanshi did not win this award.
Ding Junhui won the Best Non-Olympic Athlete award.
Guangzhou Evergrande won the Best Team Award.
But when the organizers awarded Lippi the best coach, Ringer was a little upset.
Lippi deserved the award, he helped Evergrande become the first AFC Champions League champion in the Chinese Super League, there is nothing to say, but the important thing is that Lippi was not there at all, and they were able to present the award to him.
As for Ringer, the organizers hinted early that if Ringer can't be there, then he can't win the award, so why can Lippi?
Ringer felt hurt.
Those people look down on themselves.
Lippi is a world famous coach with honors, even if he can't come, he has to give him the award, and he can't do it if he doesn't come.
"Forget it, like Krott said, I'm here to make a familiar face." Ringer thought to himself: "Otherwise, if you play in Europe for a long time and don't join the national team, you will be out of touch with domestic fans for a long time." ”
"At the same time, it can be regarded as a good fate with Yang Ma, and they will have to help publicize this piece of land in the future."
While presenting awards, there are various intersperses, and a short film will be played to remember the hardships of the older generation of athletes, and a sports song will be played to wash the soul for a while, and it will be more than two hours of grinding, and finally the final important award.
First, the Best Female Athlete award was awarded to Li Na, and then it was time for the Best Male Athlete.
Liu Guoliang and Li Lingwei took the stage to present the award, and video clips of each candidate began to appear on the big screen on the stage.
~~~
"In 2013, in Europe, the center of world football, there was another Chinese figure, Ringer, who joined the European giants Bayern Munich ~~~"
~~~
After the short film, Liu Guoliang began to read: "The winner of the 2013 Sports Person of the Year is the best male athlete of the year ~~~"
Liu Guoliang was still deliberately pausing to make a suspense, and there was an audience shouting in the back row.
"Ringer~~ Ringer!!"
"~~~ It's Ringer!"
Ringer was also relieved, everyone knew that he took advantage of the winter break to rush back from Europe, if he didn't win the award in the end, then there was really no place for his old face.
Ringer took the stage to receive the award: "Thank you for your guidance Liu, thank you for your guidance ~~"
"Thank you CCTV, thank you to the judges who voted for me, thank you to the fans who supported me, I will soon go back to Europe to continue the game, here I would like to give you an early year~~~"
※※※
Ringer returned to China, and the winter transfer season in Europe officially began.
This year's winter transfer window opens with several high-profile transfers.
AC Milan signed CSKA Moscow's Japanese player Keisuke Honda and gave them 10 jerseys, which was a rather surprising transfer.
First of all, Keisuke Honda's transfer is visa-free, Milan is really poor now, and buyers can only try to fool people into visa-free. They have long been interested in Keisuke Honda, but they just can't afford to bid, so they can only wait until Keisuke Honda's contract expires now, and then they are exempted.
Secondly, it was a bit unexpected to have Keisuke Honda wear a number 10.
No matter what team you are on, the number 10 is a very important number. Milan's No. 10 has historically been worn by well-known stars such as Seedorf, Rui Costa, and Gullit, and even the previous No. 10 Ibrahimovic is also a famous European striker. Many Milan fans think that it is not too casual to give the number 10 to a Japanese to wear.
Many Italian media said that because of Ringer's great success at Atletico Madrid, Milan also wanted to gamble, and gambled that Keisuke Honda, who is also Asian, could also succeed.
In addition to the transfer of Keisuke Honda, the most talked-about transfer in the winter is Chelsea.
Jose Mourinho has been regrouping his squad since his return to Chelsea.
This winter, Mourinho sold Juan Mata, who has performed well in the past two years, to Manchester United, De Bruyne to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, Essien to AC Milan for free, and brought in Egyptian Salah from Basel and Serbian Nemanja Matic from Benfica.
