Lin Quan also learned of this result afterwards, and Lin Quan himself was surprised that the gap between his score and Ronaldo was so small.

However, he is very open to these, and when facing reporters for an interview, Lin Quan first congratulated Ronaldo, thinking that he deserved to win the Golden Globe Award, and then looked forward to this year's Golden Globe Award.

Since he was so close to the Ballon d'Or last year, there's no reason not to attack the Ballon d'Or this year.

The outside world also regarded Lin Quan's statement as a sign that he officially joined the Golden Globe competition.

At this time, the outside world's doubts about Ronaldo's winning the Golden Globe Award were at their peak, so after Lin Quan's statement in the interview reached Ronaldo's ears, Ronaldo actually called Lin Quan and thanked him specifically.

"Lin, thank you for speaking for me, I have a party in Madrid next week, are you coming?"

Cristiano Ronaldo finally won the second Ballon d'Or, so he naturally wanted to celebrate with his friends and family.

Lin Quan had no relationship with Ronaldo before, but Ronaldo had already noticed him.

Last summer, Real Madrid had an affair with Lin Quan, and Florentilo once approached Ronaldo and asked him about his attitude towards Lin Quan joining Real Madrid.

Ronaldo welcomed Lin Quan to Real Madrid, but in the end, Lin Quan failed to join Real Madrid, and the two lost the opportunity to cooperate.

This time, taking advantage of Lin Quan's opportunity to speak for him, Ronaldo plans to make friends with this rising star in football.

In the entire football world, there are not many players who can be invited by the president in person.

However, in the face of Ronaldo's invitation, Lin Quan did not immediately agree.

"When is next week?" I'll have to see if I have time. ”

If it were an ordinary person, Ronaldo might have withdrawn his previous invitation.

But he was extra patient today: "January 21st, how's it going, are you free?" ”

Lin Quan took a look at the fixtures, as they host Cardiff City on 18 January, with the most recent fixture coming in the FA Cup on 25 January.

There are seven days in between, the team should have three days off, and he's really free.

"Okay, I'll be there then, by the way, do you want to bring a female companion?"

Most of these gatherings are accompanied by female companions, as Ronaldo's family will be present.

"Feel free to do it!"

Ronaldo replied with three words briefly, and then hung up.

This kind of thing doesn't matter to him anymore, as long as Lin Quan comes.

If he really doesn't have a female companion, so many girls in Madrid, is he still worried that he can't find someone to accompany him?

As soon as he hung up Ronaldo's phone, his teammate Iniesta of the national team called him again.

"Lin, we're going to organize a charity tournament this weekend, do you have time to participate?"

"Xiaobai, when did the charity match start?"

"On January 22, at the Camp Nou, the team was led by Maradona and Ronaldo!"

As soon as he heard these two well-known names, Lin Quan guessed that this must be a charity match organized by Barcelona.

Last summer, Real Madrid organised a friendly match at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid and Juventus.

Barcelona organized such a match during the winter break, apparently fighting against Real Madrid.

The two teams are really interesting, fighting on the field and fighting off the field, what a pair of enemies.

Maradona and Ronaldo have both played for Barcelona, and the participants in this competition should be Barcelona's famous or current players.

Although Lin Quan was born in La Masia, he has never participated in the Barcelona first team, so let him go back to Camp Nou to play, Lin Quan hesitated a little.

"Have you found all the players in the competition? Is there a shortage of people? ”

"No, there are still a lot of people, if you know a star and they want to come, we welcome them to join!"

Xiaobai's words made Lin Quan breathe a sigh of relief, as if he was thinking too much.

"Okay, I'll get in touch and see how many people I can contact!"

After ending the phone call with Iniesta, Lin Quan tweeted on social media:

"On January 22nd, ALS Charity Match, Maradona Team VS Ronaldo Team, interested friends come and sign up!"

After tweeting, he put down his phone and went out to train.

When I came back in the evening, I opened my phone and saw that it was almost full, good guy, and the private messages were almost full.

Royce: "Count me in, hehe, let the big brother cover you and take you to pretend to be forced to fly!" ”

Lin Quan gave him a friendly gesture back and greeted him slightly.

Kevin De Bruyne: "Charity race? Sounds interesting, count me in! ”

Alvaro Morata: "I'm going to participate, how can such an important tournament be without the invincible Morata?" ”

David Silva: "Is it the charity game they organized?" Then count me in! ”

Sergio Aguero: "Sounds interesting, can I come and participate?" ”

Lin Quan: "You're not afraid that your father-in-law Maradona will break your legs, then come on!" ”

Sergio Aguero: "That's right, so I chose to join Ronaldo's team, hehe, I know Messi will definitely join Maradona's team, just so I want to experience what it's like to be against him!" ”

Lin Quan: "Haole, there is one more person who wants to break your leg!" ”

In addition to Lin Quan's teammates and friends, there were several other people who joined Lin Quan a little surprised.

Bayern's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer sent him an application to add friends, and after Lin Quan agreed, he spoke directly:

"I'm going to join, as your opponent!"

Lin Quan scratched his head, Neuer's tone, how did it sound like a resentful woman in the deep palace?!

When did I offend him?

I'm not impressed!

However, if Neuer joins the opponent's side, then his side will have to hire an active top goalkeeper.

Lin Quan thought of his teammate Casillas in the national team, and just as he was about to send a message to Casillas to invite him to participate, Buffon actually took the initiative to find the door.

"Boy, is there a lack of goalkeepers? If you don't dislike me, a 35-year-old guy, even if I'm one! ”

Buffon took the initiative to ask for help, which surprised Lin Quan very much.

He is known as the number one goalkeeper in football, and with him present, his door is much safer.

Just after replying to Buffon, another person who surprised Lin Quan appeared again.

Ronaldo actually sent a private message to Lin Quan, saying that he was also interested in this game.

To be honest, Ronaldo's initiative to ask for help was completely unexpected by Lin Quan.

He feels that his relationship with Ronaldo is not close, and the other party should not be here for his own face, right?

Maybe it has something to do with Messi?

Even in the charity match, the president probably wants to beat Messi and prove himself, right?

Alas, this damn desire to win.

After Buffon joined, he pulled his old team-mate Pirlo over.

Hearing that Pirlo was going to compete, Gattuso was also interested.

Lin Quan saw his appeal in football for the first time, and even he was very surprised!

Is it so appealing to me in football?

He didn't think there would be many people signing up, and he just planned to bring De Bruyne over to join in the fun.

As a result, I didn't expect there to be so many people!

I wonder if when I show up at Camp Nou with these people, will I scare them?

……

On January 18, in the 22nd round of the Premier League, Manchester City hosted Cardiff City.

It was the first time that the two new signings, Kevin De Bruyne and Kroos, had made their first appearance for Manchester City during the winter break, so it attracted a large number of fans.

Cardiff City are not strong, currently sitting third from bottom in the league and have one foot in the abyss of relegation.

In order to protect themselves, even when facing the mighty Manchester City away from home, they still try to win the game.

However, before the first half was over, Manchester City scored three goals.

De Bruyne, who started the game, and Lin Quan worked very well together, he provided Lin Quan with an assist, and he also scored a goal with a free kick.

De Bruyne's outstanding performance won the cheers and applause of the fans in attendance!

Although De Bruyne's transfer fee is nowhere near as expensive as Kroos, his performance today has made Manchester City fans realise that they may well have picked up a treasure!

Seeing De Bruyne perform so well, Pellegrini was overjoyed.

He replaced Fernandinho in the second half and brought on another new signing, Kroos.

Kroos and Kevin De Bruyne are not the same type of players, he is the type of player who controls the tempo of the game.

When he came on the pitch, he sorted out the connection and transition between the back and front.

Although the cooperation with his teammates was not tacit enough, there were a few mistakes, but this did not affect the overall situation.

After Kroos came on, the tempo of the game was completely in the hands of Manchester City.

Cardiff City's resistance was like a punch to cotton, which did not have any effect, but because it fell into the rhythm of Manchester City, as if a shackle was put on its neck, the more it struggled, the tighter it became, and finally suffocated to death.

At the end of the game, Manchester City comfortably beat Cardiff City with a score of 4-0 to further consolidate their position at the top of the table.

After the game, in the rating of the media, Lin Quan, who shot two shots and made one pass, scored the highest 9.2 points in the game.

De Bruyne, who started the game, scored a high score of 7.8, and Kroos, who came off the bench, also scored 7.5.

Perhaps judging from the intuitive feelings of the fans at the scene, Kroos's performance was not as good as De Bruyne's ability to complete several imaginative passes.

But in the eyes of experts who really know the ball, they definitely don't underestimate Kroos's contribution to the team on the pitch.

City had been missing a midfield dealer in the squad and the addition of Kroos solved the problem.

When he and Kevin De Bruyne came on together, one in tandem in midfield and one in midfield.

The liberated Lin Quan had more opportunities to face the opponent's goal, which made Manchester City's attack very easy to play and the speed of the transition between attack and defense was very fast.

But this combination is not without its shortcomings, both are the kind of players who are not too strong in defense and not outstanding in physical confrontation.

If they meet an opponent and engage them in hand-to-hand combat in midfield, Manchester City, who are a little less hard, are likely to suffer.

After the league ended, Manuel Pellegrini gave the team five days off.

The next league game starts on January 29, with 11 days to go, just enough time for the players to rest.

As for the FA Cup match on January 25, Manuel Pellegrini intends to use a substitute squad because Manchester City's opponent is a weak team in the Championship.

During this time, Manchester City had too many games and too many intensive, and the team could not rest during the Christmas period, and at this time, the density of games finally decreased, and if the players were not given a holiday, the players were afraid that they would rebel.

Lin Quan thought that Pellegrini would only take 3 days off, so he thought about whether to ask him for a leave.

I didn't expect Pellegrini to be so reasonable and actually take five days off.

Now it's okay, you don't have to ask for leave.

What he didn't know was that Pellegrini had only planned to take three days, but after learning that Lin Quan was going to participate in the charity tournament on January 22, he changed his mind and extended the holiday by two days.

In this way, Lin Quan can rest for a day after the game, so that he will not be too tired and affect his state.

In order to better protect Lin Quan, Pellegrini has really done it to the extreme.

……

On January 21, Lin Quan arrived in Madrid on time with Lily Collins.

Ronaldo's party was set at a high-end club, and when Lin Quan came, there were already many people at the scene.

Some of them Lin Quan knows, Cristiano Ronaldo's old teammates at Manchester United, Real Madrid's current teammates, and former teammates with good relations.

Seeing Lin Quan coming with his girlfriend, Ronaldo hurriedly brought his girlfriend Yelena to greet him.

"Lin, you're finally here!"

Lin Quan originally stretched out his hand to shake hands with Ronaldo, but he didn't expect the other party to directly give him a warm hug.

This has confused Lin Quan, hasn't it been rumored that the president is very cold?

I didn't expect to be so enthusiastic in private, and it seems that the rumors from the outside world can't be fully believed.

"Is this your girlfriend? Why don't you introduce it? ”

After hugging Lin Quan, Ronaldo introduced his girlfriend Yelena to Lin Quan with a smile, and then waited for Lin Quan to introduce his female companion.

"Ahem, this is my girlfriend Lily Collins, Lily, this is the new Ballon d'Or winner, one of football's top stars, Cristiano Ronaldo!"

Lily Collins was not stage frightened for such occasions, and she reached out generously: "Congratulations, Mr. Cristiano!" ”

Ronaldo was very happy when he heard Lin Quan's words, and he probably didn't care about other people's compliments, because he had heard too much.

But Lin Quan is different, he is recognized by the outside world as a player whose strength can reach the peerless double pride level.

Being recognized by him is the best gift for Ronaldo.

Although Ronaldo has always shown that he is confident in his own strength, he actually does not have that much confidence in his own heart.

When Messi achieved the fourth consecutive Ballon d'Or, Ronaldo once doubted his strength.

Winning the Golden Globe Award this time finally helped him stabilize his confidence and prevent his Dao heart from collapsing.

After giving the gifts they brought, Lin Quan and Lily Collins, led by Ronaldo and Yelena, went to the men's and women's lounge areas respectively.

"There are teammates you are familiar with, they will take care of you, and I have to entertain other guests, so I will lose my company first!"

Ronaldo patted Lin Quan on the shoulder, said hello to club teammates such as Casillas and Ramos, and left the rest area.

"Lin, come here!"

Ramos waved to Lin Quan, allowing him to sit between himself and Casillas.

This position seems to have been specially reserved for Lin Quan, and Morata was also invited, but he was not treated so well and could only sit on the edge.

"How's it going, how does it feel to miss out on the Ballon d'Or by a narrow margin?"

Casillas asked Lin Quan with a smile.

For him and Ramos, it will be difficult for them to win the Ballon d'Or because of their position.

And the performance of the two is far from winning the Golden Globe, so they may not get the opportunity like Lin Quan in their lifetime.

Therefore, they all think that after missing the Golden Globe Award, Lin Quan will be very annoyed and regretful in his heart.

However, to their surprise, Lin Quan didn't have any special feelings about this, but was very calm:

"I feel like I've eaten the dividends of the rules, and if FIFA doesn't change the voting rules, I don't think I will be able to replace Messi in the top three."

Messi started with a high number of votes, even higher than Ribery.

However, FIFA allowed to modify the votes cast before, and Messi happened to be recovering from an injury during that time, so he suffered a lot after the revoting.

"Hehe, the rules can be changed, but no matter how you change them, if you don't have such a good performance, then no one else will be able to vote for you!"

Lin Quan nodded, and suddenly thought of a question.

The voting power for the Ballon d'Or comes from the captains and coaches of the various national teams, and Casillas, as the captain of Spain, who did he vote for?

"Captain, did you give your first vote to Ronaldo or me?"

San Cassie, who was peeling oranges and eating them, choked and coughed violently when he heard Lin Quan's question.

"Ahem, ahem...... While...... ...... of course."

"Of course it's Cristiano Ronaldo!"

Casillas finally finished his sentence, and then unsurprisingly harvested Lin Quan's eyes.

"Captain, I didn't expect you, a thick-eyed guy with big eyebrows, to betray the revolution too!"

Lin Quan stretched out his hand and pointed at Casillas, looking distressed.

Casillas hurriedly explained: "Ahem, I didn't know you could get so many votes, I thought you could be in the top five very well, who knew you could make it to the top two?" ”

"Damn, am I to blame for that?"

"Oh, that's not true, but if I knew that, I'd definitely vote for you!"

Casey is actually a bit involuntary, he is the captain of both Real Madrid and Spain.

Real Madrid's president Florentillo specially found a lot of people to canvass for votes in order to build momentum for Ronaldo.

As the captain, he naturally had to vote for the stars of his own club, so Caslias' first vote was for Ronaldo.

There are a total of 3 votes, the first vote is worth 5 points, the second vote is worth 3 points, and the third vote is worth 1 point.

Therefore, the first vote of the voter has the most weight and is also the most critical.

To win the Ballon d'Or, you'll need to get more votes and have enough first votes.

In the voting list and points released by FIFA, Lin Quan has a large number of voters, but the first vote rate is not high, far lower than Ronaldo.

He suffers at this point.

"Okay, I forgive you, then your second vote should have been for me, right?"

"Well, no, the third vote, the third vote is for you!"

Casillas hurriedly said, and Lin Quan gave him a look of contempt.

Ramos, who was on the side, asked curiously: "Then who did you vote for in the second place?" ”

Casillas blushed and said:

"Ahem, I voted for myself......"
