Liverpool did not give up their resistance and continued to attack, and surprisingly, Giroud's performance in the goalkeeper position was a bit rusty, but he did not drop the chain, providing two more good saves before the end of the game.

The game ended 3-6, with the two sides combining to score nine goals and deliver a Christmas feast to the fans, mainly Arsenal fans.

Lin Yun led the players to thank the fans, Giroud jumped and jumped happily, and took off his jersey in excitement and was about to throw it into the stands.

Lin Yun's eyes were quick, he pressed his hand down, and said, "Isn't this Szczesny's jersey?" And so monumental things, are you willing to do it? ”

Giroud soon came to his senses and put away his shirt in a huff, "That's right, but it's mine now, I'm going to keep it away." ”

Having lived in the shadow of Lin Yun for too long, Giroud was as happy today as if he had led his team to win the World Cup.

Modric patted him on the back, "Seriously, did you point the wrong skill?" How do you feel like you're more talented at goalkeeping than shooting? ”

Giroud smiled, "There's a special feeling when I make a good save, it's like scoring a goal, you may not know it, I loved being a goalkeeper when I was very young...... But I'm a striker now, I like to score goals, you know? ”

Modric nodded, "Then you have to make sure that you get enough playing time, well, it's better to play as well as you did today every time, otherwise...... You know, the boss's favorite is still the single striker formation. ”

Giroud was stunned suddenly, whether it was snatching the starting position from Lin Yun or exploding every game like today, it was an epic difficulty for him, and it was an absolutely impossible task.

Of course, but you still have to be tough, "Okay, I'll try to ......"

After the game, Arsene Wenger was full of praise for the performances of Giroud and Lin Yun.

Lin Yun shot and passed, Giroud scored an assist + scored twice + saved a penalty, and Arsenal used a hearty victory as a Christmas gift to the fans.

'Lin was playing normally, I wasn't expecting him to perform like that, Olivier Giroud surprised us and I'm happy to see him make a big difference at the front and back of the team...

Arsenal FC has finished another commotion, putting Giroud's goalkeeper shirt on the shelves, and the FA has also added to the fire, putting Lin Yun and Giroud into the best team of the Premier League in this round, but Giroud was put in the position of the best goalkeeper...

There are still three days left before the next game, and Arsenal is lucky, at least Christmas Eve and Christmas Day did not play, so Wenger did not arrange training on the afternoon of the 24th, and also had a day off on the 25th, and had to return to the team on the morning of the 26th to prepare for the noon game.

The club held a grand Christmas dinner on the evening of the 24th.

The league halfway champion, the first out of the Champions League group, it can be said that the Premier League defense + Champions League three consecutive championships are no longer a dream, but really in front of waiting to chase, all Arsenal people are very excited, this year's Christmas is particularly lively.

The teammates brought their wives and children one by one, and Lin Yun continued to go to the banquet alone, naturally he liked to mention the hot search again, and if nothing else, he should be on the hot search during this time.

Because the Golden Globes are coming again......

In the final list of three people announced by FIFA, Lin Yun, Messi and Ronaldo were shortlisted again, and the final awards will be announced on January 12.

Arsenal have five games to play before that.

Four Premier League games, and the FA Cup.

Unlike in the past, Arsenal's ambitions this season are unprecedentedly inflated, in addition to the league to pursue the title and the Champions League to pursue three consecutive titles, but also to strive for the Premier League + Champions League + FA Cup big treble, so this season's FA Cup will be taken seriously, rather than giving up tactically like the previous two seasons.

Fortunately, the thickness of their current squad is okay, and there are many powerful players sitting on the bench who have not taken the opportunity to play, and they can still meet the third-line battle for the time being.

Lin Yun, the Magic Flute and N'Golo Kante are no longer the main force that cannot be beaten, but enter the rotation lineup, Arsenal has achieved three wins, one draw and one loss in this wave of fixtures, including two wins, one draw and one loss in the league in addition to the big win over Brighton Hove in the FA Cup, which is considered to have made a barely passable start to the second half of the league.

The time quickly came to January 12th.

Although everyone knows that this Ballon d'Or should be the most suspenseless in the history of the Ballon d'Or, the eyes of fans all over the world are still on Zurich, Switzerland.

Celebrities from all walks of life in football gathered.

Not surprisingly, Ronaldo was absent from the event for personal reasons......

Among the Golden Ball odds offered by major spinach companies, Lin Yun became the biggest favorite with ultra-low odds of 1:0.1, while Messi and Ronaldo were 1:80 and 1:99 respectively.

Even the reporters didn't boredly ask Lin Yun how confident he was in winning the award at the meeting, but directly asked him about his acceptance speech.

Lin Yun didn't pretend, but directly said that he deserved it, "2014 was a dream year for me, for Arsenal, for the England team, we won a lot together, I want to thank my teammates and the team for their help, of course, if I can, I hope this year, next year, the year after that, every year after that...... Because the feeling of winning is really wonderful, thank you. ”

Messi, who spoke later, shrugged his shoulders, "I like the atmosphere of Barcelona now, we have a new forward combination, the new team-mates are strong, we enjoy the feeling of playing together, like Lin, we also like to win, I believe that this season we will win the trophy we want, of course, in the World Cup Lin and England are the biggest winners, so I think today's Ballon d'Or should be his, his performance in 2014 was phenomenal......"

"If Arsenal and Barcelona meet in the Champions League, who do you think will win?"

"Arsenal/Barcelona, of course."

When the words fell, Lin Yun and Messi looked at each other and smiled "haha".

Lin Yundao: "If I can, I hope Arsenal and Barcelona can meet in the final, it will be a dream matchup. ”

Messi nodded, "Arsenal will be the strongest opponent, we really don't want to meet them too soon, and I want to meet in the final." ”

This is not a scene, after the interview, the two agreed in private.

"According to UEFA's urine nature, I think there is a good chance that we will meet in the final, of course, if we can beat all the opponents before then," Lin Yun said with a smile, "I will be waiting for you in the final." ”

This season, the MSN combination has killed all sides, and Messi's self-confidence is also unprecedentedly strong, and he has lost his previous humility when he heard the words, but nodded heavily, "See you in the Champions League final." ”

After the process is completed, the award ceremony officially begins.

Sky Sports broadcaster Abdo hosted the award ceremony, and after the final candidates for the Ballon d'Or and Miss World Football took the stage, the World Players Union Team of the Year was first revealed.

Now that Lin Yun is thriving, the Golden Ball Award is already his personal property, and other players don't even dare to covet it, so the best team has become the most competitive award.

Piero was the guest of honour to unveil the best team of the World Professional Footballers' Union.

As is customary, the formation given is still 4-3-3.

It can be seen that many stars in the audience are very nervous.

"Goalkeeper...... Neuer. ”

This position, like the striker position, is probably the least suspenseful, but when his name was really pronounced out of Piero's mouth, Neuer was truly relieved.

He deserves his award than stats and accolades, but when he thinks about his embarrassment against Arsenal and England, he feels a little empty, and many times he falls into self-doubt, which is something like "am I really the best goalkeeper like this".

Of course, the way to comfort yourself is also very simple.

Looking at Lin Yun's goal highlights and looking at the performance of other peers in front of Lin Yun, he will soon be able to convince himself with "It turns out that others are worse than me".

Manuel Neuer took the stage and took the trophy from Piero.

Next up to the best defender.

The nominees felt similar to Neuer, because they all had the same experience of being beaten by Lin Yun to doubt their lives......

Unfortunately, England and Arsenal don't have enough to see at the back, except for Luke, who performed well in the World Cup final. Shaw was nominated, but there was not even an England defender and Arsenal defender in the squad.

In the end, Ramos, David Luiz, Thiago Silva and Lahm won the award.

In terms of midfielders, Di Maria, Luka Modric and Andres Iniesta emerged as winners.

This trio has caused a lot of controversy, but it is quite plausible.

Di Maria did not perform well for Real Madrid last season, not to mention the Magic Flute, although the World Cup results were not good, but the club results exploded, and Andres Iniesta is still widely regarded as one of the most powerful midfielders.

Needless to say, the top three in the Ballon d'Or, Ronaldo, Lin Yun, Messi.

Later on, there are some less important awards.

Japanese football journalist Hiroshi Kagawa won the FIFA President's Award, and Kellerman won the Best Women's Football Coach.

Then there's the best men's coach with a lot of competition.

Loew, Arsene Wenger and Roy Hodgson rounded out the top three.

It is mainly the competition between the professor and Huo Taigong.

Heathfield, who was in charge of presenting the awards, also cued Lin Yun.

"Lin, you have the most say in this award in the world, who do you want to win? Or who do you think is the best football coach in 2014? ”

Lin Yun stood up, took the microphone, and scratched his head pretendedly.

Everyone laughed, but they also had a headache for him, because this problem was really terrible.

Lin Yun thought for a moment, "Well, for me, Wenger and Hodgson are the best coaches in the world, not just in 2014, but all the time, so I strongly recommend that FIFA award the trophy to them at the same time." ”

Heathfield refused, "But what if you have to pick one?" ”

"That's really stumped for me, they don't care who wins, I suggest he split the trophy in half and give the other half to another person......"

"Shh~~"

The camera focused on Arsene Wenger and Hodgson, both of whom were smiling and shaking their heads.

Lin Yun actually hopes to award it to Hodgson, because Wenger still has more chances to win the award......

The result was as he had hoped, with Hodgson receiving 42.12 per cent of the vote and Arsene Wenger losing 37.08 per cent.

As for Loew, a person who made up the numbers, getting 20 percent is already blind to the people who voted.

Hodgson took the stage to the applause of the audience.

'For me, everything I won in 2014 was far more than I could have hoped for, but I'm still happy to receive this award because I know it's not just for me, it's for my whole team, but for my players, we played at our best and the trophy is the result of our hard work, thank you......"

After the best coach, there is the Fair Play Award, which is won by volunteers from all FIFA events, followed by the more popular Puskas Award.

The award is nominated by a panel of FIFA panels of the 10 best balls, which are then voted for by visitors to the FIFA website and France Football website.

FIFA has previously announced the top 3, except for Lin Yun's flying leap in the Champions League final and Ronaldo's chest volley at the top of the World Cup penalty area, the rest of the magic appeared in the Irish Women's Football League last November, Roche received a teammate's half-high ball with his back, continuously juggled the ball to get rid of the defender, and turned around 25 meters away with a left-footed volley to hang the net.

In fact, Lin Yun's goal against Germany in extra time in the World Cup final is the most eligible to win the award, because in terms of goal importance and ornamentation, that goal is the best choice, but unfortunately the way the barb goal outside the penalty area is too similar to the one that Ibrahimovic won the Puskas Award last year, so he didn't even get the nomination.

All three appear in the camera at the same time.

J Ronaldo and Roche are forcibly pretending to be calm, while Lin Yun is really calm.

He was confident that he would win the award.

Former French star Calembou deliberately paused for a long time before slowly pronouncing Lin Yun's name.

"Congratulations to Lin, who got 52 percent of the vote, James Hames. Rodriguez and Roche are at 28% and 20% respectively. ”

Lin Yun took the stage for the second time.

He first looked at the trophy in front of him, and then raised it above his head and waved, "Thank you FIFA, thank you to everyone who voted for me, scoring goals is the obligation of every striker, but making goals beautiful and making football more enjoyable is what every football practitioner should do, I am very happy to be recognized by everyone, and I hope that there will be more and more exciting goals in world football in the future......"

After that, it's Miss World Football.

Brazilian star Marta has finished in the top three for 11 consecutive years, scoring twice in the UEFA Women's Champions League final last year and winning the Swedish Women's League for the fifth time.

American veteran Wambach, who won Miss World Soccer 2012, finished in the top three for four consecutive years, but the only new face, 26-year-old German midfielder Kessler, won in the end.

She captained the 'double' Wolfsburg women's team and was named Europe's best women's footballer of the 2013-14 season.

The grand prize was revealed by Henry.

The French superstar stood on the stage, looked at Lin Yun with a smile, and then raised the card in his hand, "I'm wondering, is there any need ......to open this card?"

The audience immediately laughed tacitly.

Indeed, if the absolute core of the World Cup winners, Champions League winners, Premier League champions and the top scorers of these three tournaments cannot win the award, then there is no need for the Ballon d'Or to be held any longer.

said that although he said so, Henry still opened the card in his hand according to the process.

"The winner is, Lin Yun!"

"Congratulations Lin! You are the best! ”

At the same time that Henry read Lin Yun's name, the system also reacted.

"Congratulations to the host for defending the Ballon d'Or and receiving the reward: the unequaled striker (Van Basten, the only one)."
