"Everyone has their own dreams. Every player who lifts the Golden Ball has a story to tell. I certainly don't want this to be my last Golden Ball. Yes, that's my attitude. ”

Xiao Wen looked at the countless microphones and microphones handed over in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Maybe I'm not a very mature player yet, but I'm a persistent suitor...... Hopefully, when it's time for me to retire, people can compare my performance over the past year with my whole career, and not say 'debut is the pinnacle'. ”

Xiao Wen nodded and smiled in greeting, and left.

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony ended in this weird atmosphere, and everyone was stunned that Xiao Wen could get this award at the age of 18, but he had actually done enough psychological construction.

The next day.

Madrid.

Atletico Madrid training base.

This is Xiao Wen's attitude,

Yesterday the Golden Ball, but today it is still a player.

The assistant coach walked to the training ground when he saw Xiao Wen and whispered something in Simeone's ear. Simeone's lips opened slightly, and he turned his head and smiled at Xiao Wen.

He walked quickly towards Xiao Wen, stretched out his hand, looked at the young man standing in front of him, smiled slightly, and said, "Congratulations, Xiao Wen." ”

Simeone knows that Xiao Wen won the Ballon d'Or definitely not because of everything he did at Atletico Madrid. Even if he hadn't played for half a season, he deserved the award.

"Thank you. Instructor. Xiao Wen replied as he stood up straight, looking at Simone in front of him. His throat was a little dry, and he had said thank you too many times in the past 24 hours.

He has asked the club and Simeone to take a lot of leave of absence for the Ballon d'Or, but Atletico and Simeone's attitude is also clear - you are busy with you.

It's just that Simeone didn't expect that in the case of mundane things, Xiao Wen could still maintain his attitude on the court and perform so well.

Burgos, the assistant coach who was extremely strict with every Atletico Madrid player, also had warmth in his eyes at this time. Strength is the factor that can bring two strangers closer to each other.

Burgos looked at Xiao Wen, who had a delicate face, thinking of his past experience, and then thinking of Atletico Madrid's failure to reach the Champions League podium that everyone was looking forward to in the past few years, and couldn't help but show his sincere affection and respect for the other party again, yes. In the next six months, Atletico Madrid and Xiao Wen's biggest expectation is the battle of La Liga and the Champions League.

After hugging the two again, Xiao Wen walked towards his teammates who couldn't help but coax.

Simeone crossed his waist and shook his head with great interest as he looked at the young man in front of him who was surrounded by other teammates.

He has seen too much about Xiao Wen's ability and performance, on the one hand, he was shocked by this young man's ability and current achievements, and on the other hand, he couldn't help but wonder about his choice before that, obviously returning to the Premier League is a better choice, why he is willing to come to Atletico Madrid, which is relatively poor in marketing, or why he chose Simeone, whose style is not well received by fans around the world... That is, himself

But when he saw Xiao Wen, who received the Ballon d'Or but was still so low-key and still couldn't wait to train and play, he knew that he didn't need to ask this question anymore, because this young man's eyes still had longing, and his delicate face still showed determination, looking like a young player who had just been promoted from the second team......

He came here to punish God.

……

January 18th.

Atletico Madrid plays Granada at home.

Holding the Golden Globe in his hand, Xiao Wen smiled self-deprecatingly, finding that he was still nervous, and slowly walked to the center of the court.

Finally, the Ballon d'Or trophy is placed on the table that has been placed long ago, bows to the fans, and then poses for a photo.

Dortmund fans who were watching the live broadcast burst into tears.

It's like looking at your own female ticket, because of her own training has become proficient in blowing, playing and singing. Now, it is.

Old Minotaur is gone.

"It's time to learn new technology."

"I will always remember every game you fought so hard in Dortmund. Love you. ”

"Yes, Xiao's professional attitude is beyond doubt."

"It's just a pity. This year, Dort is estimated to be unable to wait for the 1/8 finals of UEFA's re-arranged script. ”

"It's okay, so as not to be more sad!"

"Xiao Zi, your world will be without me in the future, it doesn't matter, if you want to be happy yourself, you must be happy without me, you must be happy, Xiao Zi, how can I live without you! Xiao Zi! Xiao Zi!"

The audience in front of the TV also noticed Xiao Wen's somewhat shy expression, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, no matter what, he was just a young man who was only two months away from reaching the age of nineteen.

however

When you get to the pitch and the game is on,

No one says 'he's just a kid under 19 anymore.'"

With the help of the whole Atletico team, Xiao Wen completed a hat-trick in less than 40 minutes, including two penalties. However, the "brush" is well. Whatever his "penalty doesn't count" theory - you have the ability to change the rules of football.

In the second half, Xiao Wen had already sat on the bench, which was slightly quieter than the stands, and the sound of Xiao Wen's golden ball still sounded clearly in the stands.

Mandzukic, who was also replaced, shook his head and said: "Can this ball still be kicked like this? ”

"Why can't you kick like that?" Xiao Wen smiled and said, "Just score a goal." ”

Mandzukic smiled, Xiao Wen's third goal was drawn to the ass by Miranda's shot after falling to the ground in the penalty area, and he was excited to watch this goal, "Just this luck, if you can't get the La Liga Golden Boot, Lady Luck won't agree." ”

"The other two are really youkai, too." Xiao Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "One is a big four, and the other is also a hat." ”

That's right, before this game, Ronaldo hat, Messi senior happy. I don't know if it's because I'm stimulated, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, a free kick from 35 meters away has to be kicked. The hunger for goals was extreme.

In the evening, Griezmann suggested that a few young people go to a night club.

In fact, Xiao Wen has not been to this damn capital ZY corrupting people once in the Ruhr area, but in Madrid, it seems that the desire of these players for night games, or social circles, seems to have changed somewhat.

Although Xiao Wen doesn't like to make himself look like a drunk, as the 'leading brother' on the court, he can pay the bill. Or rather, it must be

At 9:30 p.m., Xiao asked to the parking lot of the night show.

The parking boy parked the car on his behalf, and he walked to the elevator.

Just as he was about to enter the elevator, his footsteps were interrupted by another footstep.

It was the sound of high heels hitting the ground, and it was very crisp.

The elevator door opened, Xiao Wen entered the elevator, and just turned around. A hot-bodied woman walked in

Xiao Wen squinted his eyes and glanced at it from bottom to top with radar like a normal man. Only then did I react. How is she?

The woman in front of him has a figure that can be called a golden ratio, and in 2011, when he was only eighteen years old, he took a swimsuit photo for the American "Sports Illustrated", which became popular, and was praised by fans as "America's No. 1 Sports Baby".

Xiao asked why it was so clear?

Without him, only the hand is familiar...

This woman not only has a hot body, but also dresses up very hot, a group of stepmothers, very tight, and a pair of delicate high heels under her feet, light green.

What is special is that this woman has a height of 1.78 meters, standing in front of Xiao Wen, she does not fall behind at all. This is a woman who makes a man unforgettable for a lifetime at a glance.

That woman is Kate Upton.

Now on INS, Xiao Wen has more fans than her. But in a sense, men may have a deeper impression of her than Xiao Wen.

It's just that Xiao Wen has never seen her in reality, and he hasn't crossed paths, so he looked at each other, so he nodded and said hello to a stranger, which was still a little embarrassing. After all, there have been exchanges unilaterally.

The moment Kate Upton saw Xiao Wen, she was stunned for a moment, and wanted to press the floor on the 4th floor, but saw that the position was already lit up, which was a coincidence.

"Xiao asked?"

Kate Upton smiled faintly at Xiao Wen.

"Yes. Kate Upton? ”

Xiao Wen also returned a faint smile. In fact, Xiao Wen has always had a very good impression of beautiful women, perhaps a common problem of men. But Xiao Wen didn't go too far. Although every man seems to want to be favored by beautiful women.

If it was before, Xiao Wen would show great enthusiasm in the face of a woman like Kate Upton, but now it is different, not to mention that he already has a supermodel.

"Hmm."

Kate Upton replied softly in a nasal voice, as if she was not at all surprised that Xiao Wen knew her name.

It's not surprising that men know women like her.

Xiao Wen still seemed very calm, she greeted him before responding politely. If she pretended not to know, she wouldn't have come up with a shy face.

"You and I watched you play at Camp Nou the other day."

When Kate Upton was about to reach the 4th floor of the elevator, she suddenly turned her head to look at Xiao Wen and said.

Xiao Wen let out a faint "oh".

Kate Upton's face changed slightly, although the change was very subtle, but Xiao Wen still noticed it, and her smile disappeared in an instant.

After stepping out of the elevator, Kate Upton found Xiao Wen following her, the corners of her lips curled slightly, paused and then turned around, "Are you regretting that the elevator didn't ask me for my contact information?" ”

Xiao Wen was forced to stop and was stunned for a moment: "Oh, no." The box I'm going to is in front. ”

"Really?"

Kate Upton asked.

"Tulips." Xiao Wen said lightly.

"What?"

Kate Upton's eyes dilated in surprise.

And then

The two of them walked to the door of the same box.

"It seems that we have some mutual friends."

Xiao Wen smiled and sighed.

"Oh? So are we friends? ”

Xiao Wen was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his hand: "Xiao asked." ”

"Kate Upton."

As if to 'revenge' Xiao Wen's previous coldness, Kate Upton did not stretch out her hand.

Xiao Wen smiled helplessly, ready to withdraw his hand and open the door.

Unexpectedly, Kate Upton took a step forward and stuck in front of the goal.

Xiao Wen's heart rhythm was suddenly disordered.

Although Kate Upton was not low after wearing high heels, her stepmother's skirt made her convex figure appear in the slightly dim light.

Xiao Wen's breathing was a little shorter.

"Has anyone ever told you that you can't let the lady take the initiative?"

Kate Upton was standing in front of Xiao Wen like a bird at this time, and the two of them were in an ambiguous posture, like a wall.

"Huh?"

Xiao asked, puzzled.

"Contact!" Kate Upton seems to feel that she is being ignored and is a big deal, not to mention the embarrassment of her misunderstanding Xiao Wen. All these things are intertwined, and it makes her a little angry.

"Oh."

Xiao Wen took a step back and pulled out the phone in his crotch.

"Really"

Kate Upton said faintly, and exchanged contact information with Xiao Wen, and the two walked in.

I have to say that Griezmann, who is super fond of basketball, really has a lot of American friends Xiao Wen, and as soon as he entered, he saw several stars who had watched on TV and movie screens.

Although it wasn't a party organized by Xiao Wen, he just won the Golden Globe Award... It seems to be a natural protagonist.

He didn't drink a lot.

In a daze, I don't know who I talked to and what I talked to... But in a trance, it seemed to be a soft body around his waist.

When I woke up in a hotel in the city center, it was already half past ten the next day.

Xiao asked some people to understand why the Brazilian nightclub superstars fell so quickly and their peak was so short.

The bad atmosphere of society blows so that people's scalps are numb, and their weaknesses cannot withstand challenges.

……

In the next Sunday game, Xiao Wen was a little absent-minded, although he still scored a goal by picking up a leak in front of the goal, but in the post-game rating, he did not exceed 7.5 points for the first time.

Tired, that's what the media and fans came up with.

Even Atletico Madrid fans are starting to get worried.

After all, Xiao asked this summer, and didn't have much rest, now. Could it be that physical fitness has an impact?

In February, against Elva, Simeone finally put Xiao Wen on the bench, and the team narrowly won by one goal.

At home against Real Madrid, Xiao Wen scored a goal and an assist, but missed a free kick at the last moment - Keylor Navas, who started in place of Casillas, made a shocking save! Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals and the two sides drew 2-2.

In the next two games against Deportivo La Coruna and Almeria, Xiao Wen came off in the 70th minute.

Before the start of the Champions League, on the goal list of La Liga, Xiao Wen was 1 goal behind Ronaldo and 2 goals behind Messi.

Atletico Madrid are three points ahead of Barcelona and four ahead of Real Madrid.

Everything is in a state of white heat.

February 26th.

Away to Bayer Leverkusen.

After getting off the plane, Griezmann, who was standing beside Xiao Wen, whispered, "I heard that you have been chatting with that person recently." ”

Xiao Wen smiled and didn't say anything, Griezmann's gossip was beyond his imagination.

The shuttle bus picks up the airport through the small half of the city. Come to the door of the hotel.

"Xiao, Xiao, Xiao, Xiao!!! ……”

A burst of lively cheers sounded at the moment when the car door was opened, waking up Xiao Wen, who was squinting slightly, muttered a few words in confusion, and looked out, only to see a fan wearing a Dortmund jersey holding a sign and shouting something.

Griezmann looked at Xiao Wen in a daze, and after a while, he found that Xiao Wen was also stunned, and it seemed that the corners of his eyes were still a little wet.

Xiao Wen looked at Griezmann and smiled, and immediately got out of the car.

As he walked along, the Dort fans who had come to look for him rushed to him, and Xiao Wen waved to them one by one, satisfying everyone's autographs and photos one by one

More than an hour later,

Finally satisfied everyone, Hao Sheng sent away these enthusiastic Dort fans who moved Xiao Wen, Xiao Wen walked to the hotel, Griezmann sat next to Simeone, and there was a smile between his eyebrows.

Simeone said a few words to Xiao and went back to his room.

The atmosphere at Atletico Madrid has been really good lately, and everyone is not so nervous against weaker opponents. It's just that in a game like the Champions League, everyone still understands the importance and has no intention of taking it lightly.

On the contrary, many teammates were a little worried about Xiao Wen.

After all, his state lately. Compared to his own peak form, it is a bit sluggish. For example, he has been caught in a 77-minute ball drought.

Pre-match stepping session.

Xiao Wen met many acquaintances.

For example, Sun Xingmin.

Sun Xingmin took the initiative to find him.

In football, European football is the center of the world, with the five major leagues attracting the best players in the world.

Therefore, Asian players who are relatively backward in the level have been trying to join it, and in the case of a small gap in absolute strength, Asian players are often not favored, and it is more difficult to stand in the five major leagues than European and American players, even if they are talented, they have to bear more things.

Sun Xingmin is like this at this time.

"Hey."

Sun Xingmin looked at the guy in front of him who was younger than himself, but his heart was excited.

It was he who changed people's attitudes towards the Asian race, although in a way, he was a mixed race, but Xiao, who had always insisted on his identity, asked him... It's Asian!

He is a crazy pinnacle - Sun Xingmin feels that he will be difficult to catch up with in his life.

In fact, after scoring the first goal in the five major leagues, 18-year-old Son Xingmin was immediately taken away by his father Sun Xiongzheng. Because after that game, Son Woong-jung found that Son Heung-min was excited to turn on his computer when he returned to his apartment - he wanted to see how Korean fans praised him online! This is a normal mentality for a young player, but Sun Xiongzheng is very vigilant, and he admonished him after confiscating his son's computer: "The biggest enemy of a player is arrogance, scoring a goal can't change the world, all you have to do is prepare for the next game, not indulge in the praise of the fans!" ”

And so on and so forth.

Sun Xingmin knew that he could be where he is today, and his father's credit definitely accounted for a large part of it.

However, Xiao Wen's success. But it seems to be so abrupt, so abrupt that Sun Xingmin feels a little unreal.

And now, this Mr. Golden Ball, is standing in front of him again.

If you have matured a lot, you will have the opportunity to challenge.

Although the chances seem slim. But Sun Xingmin was still determined to fight.

He saw Xiao Wen turn around and stretch out his right hand.

The two held hands tightly together.

"Congratulations, Shaw."

Sun Xingmin said sincerely.

"Thank you." A smile appeared on Xiao Wen's face.

"But I'll do my best to defeat you." Sun Xingmin's hands tightened.

Xiao Wen's smile disappeared, and his face was serious: "I will definitely do my best." ”

Respect for your opponent is to give it your all!

Call..

Mateus in the stands took a deep breath, time has passed, and it has been less than a year since the young man he was optimistic about won the Golden Globe Award.

The youngest Ballon d'Or winner ever!

"I don't know what amazing performance Xiao will have today, on the familiar 'Bundesliga' field. But everyone will remember the miracle he performed in Dortmund last year! ”

Mateus raises his voice,

"Tonight, Mr. Golden Ball's performance in the new section, let's .

See! ”

In this World Cup, Japan and South Korea have all advanced to the round of 16!!!!!!!!! (Little Day and Little Stick are both attacking tonight!) I'm sour. Really.)
