In Zurich, the FIFA Ballon d'Or Awards ceremony is here as scheduled.
Football celebrities gather here.
When Hao Qiang appeared on the red carpet, the spotlight focused on him, and reporters rushed to ask him questions.
"Hao Qiang, if you were not elected, would you congratulate the winner?"
"FIFA has postponed the voting for the Ballon d'Or. Do you think there is something fishy about it?"
"Do you think you will become the second Sneijder?"
Of course Hao Qiang turned a deaf ear to the questions.
If he wants to be interviewed, it will only be with FIFA officials.
Wearing suits and leather shoes, he still subverts his past style in terms of image.
The whole person exudes sunshine, and even female viewers left messages on social platforms while watching TV: Hao Qiang is really a walking hormone!
When Hao Qiang came to the venue, the seats arranged by the organizer were naturally more conspicuous.
He saw Mendes, and the two of them smiled and nodded from afar, with Mendes sitting in the middle and back row.
Ronaldo and his girlfriend Jelena sat in the front row.
Hao Qiang's position is about the same distance from Ronaldo and Boss Mei.
There are 5-7 seats separated.
Boss Mei saw Hao Qiang arriving and took the initiative to shake hands with him and say hello.
"My partner has been talking about you over the past few months and he has nothing but great things to say about you."
Boss Mei's words made Hao Qiang burst into laughter.
Aguero and Boss Mei are close buddies, and they must have had many private conversations.
"He said if you were Argentinian, we would win the World Cup."
Hao Qiang couldn't laugh or cry.
"Then I would also like to say that if you and he were both Chinese, I would also be able to win the World Cup."
Messi smiled strangely and said: "It's not enough to have a forward."
Hao Qiang shrugged.
"If you and he are Chinese, I can play as a midfielder or even as a defender."
Messi was amused, patted Hao Qiang on the shoulder and said: "I hope you can win the award today."
Hao Qiang said matter-of-factly: "I also hope that I can win the award, but now everyone knows that there have been changes."
"Nothing lasts forever."
"Who says it isn't?"
The two of them took their seats, and Ronaldo stood up and nodded to Hao Qiang as a greeting.
Hao Qiang also raised his hand politely in response.
After the award ceremony began, Hao Qiang kept a calm expression and watched the emcee on the stage bragging.
Whether it is UEFA or FIFA, they will always brag about themselves on such occasions and introduce to the outside world their contributions and achievements in football promotion in the past year.
At this moment, countless fans in China are nervously watching the awards ceremony.
They are looking forward to witnessing Hao Qiang reach the pinnacle of personal honor!
At the club level, Hao Qiang has dominated Europe for two consecutive years.
The loss to Messi last year was quite reasonable.
After all, there are Champions League champions and top scorers in the Champions League every year.
Breaking the record is indeed remarkable, but meeting Messi's new record, which is the highest in the history of the year, is a fight between gods.
Messi's popularity base in the past was also higher than that of Hao Qiang.
And in fact, Hao Qiang lost to Ronaldo and Messi last year.
But it has definitely laid a strong foundation for popularity.
This year Hao Qiang was shortlisted as one of the top three candidates for the Golden Globe Award, and everyone thought he was determined to win.
After a series of small awards were awarded before the award ceremony, both the top three candidates for the Golden Globe Awards and their supporters became increasingly nervous.
When football king Pele took the stage to announce the winner of FIFA's annual Ballon d'Or award, three candidates appeared on the big screen.
Hao Qiang, Ronaldo, Messi.
Messi kept smiling, Ronaldo looked focused, and Hao Qiang remained calm.
As for the director's switching of the three people's goal videos, it actually doesn't have much impact.
After all, for people like them who score goals like crazy, scoring goals?
That's a daily routine.
Since entering the era of peerless double pride, the standard of 20-30 years ago as a top forward in the past season has been directly invalidated and has become history.
When Hao Qiang made a name for himself from Ligue 1, the striker was embarrassed to say he was a top player if he couldn't score 30 points in a season.
In the past two years, this trend has developed to an abnormal level.
40 has become the threshold for a super forward.
The moment Bailey announced the winner.
Messi still keeps smiling.
Hao Qiang still looked calm.
Only Ronaldo showed an emotional expression, turned around and kissed Irina before going on stage to receive the award!
Hao Qiang looked away, gritted his teeth slightly and then clapped.
At this moment, he felt uncomfortable all over.
Ever since he won the top scorer in Serie A, the Champions League and the Champions League last summer, he has been the favorite for the Ballon d'Or!
Almost all media believe that he will become the first Ballon d'Or winner from Asia!
But everything took a strange turn when FIFA postponed the Ballon d'Or voting.
Chinese fans went crazy the moment the results were announced!
"Wardfa! How could it be Ronaldo? Why should he? Why?"
"I don't understand, I don't understand at all! La Liga is not his, the Champions League is not his, the top scorer in La Liga is not him, the top scorer in the Champions League is not him, why should he be elected Mr. Ballon d'Or?"
"Is it because he plays well? Is he entertaining to watch? Is he comparable to 3r? I knew there must be a conspiracy behind the postponement of the Ballon d'Or voting deadline! Mahler Gobi's, shady!"
"Blatter is so bad. The black president must have gotten a lot of sympathy votes for the president before. In addition, he apologized and postponed the deadline for voting for the Ballon d'Or. It is clear that he asked the president to go to the World Cup preliminaries play-offs to attract votes!
"
"I just don't understand what's so great about winning the World Cup preliminaries play-offs! People who don't know think he won the World Cup!"
"Hao Huang is more unjust than Sneijder! Sneijder won the Champions League, but you can still say that Mourinho is awesome and Milito is awesome!"
But Naples won the Champions League twice in a row, and Hao Huang was even more awesome than Maradona back then!
FIFA is also organizing the Ballon d'Or for you, Marler Gobi, so what's the point of such a selection?"
All Chinese media and fans are crying out for Hao Qiang.
Even many European media think this result is unreasonable!
It simply subverts the value of the Golden Globe Award!
Individuals are not the strongest.
The team achieved nothing.
Is it possible to become Mr. Ballon d'Or just by surviving in the World Cup preliminaries play-offs?
If you put it this way, France, Croatia, and Greece also won the play-offs with Portugal at the same time and advanced to the 2014 World Cup. Why didn't their core players and heroes stand up to compete for the Ballon d'Or?
Hao Qiang didn't listen to a word of Ronaldo's speech on stage.
My mind is a little confused.
He only saw Ronaldo's eyes were red and tears were streaming down his face.
Without listening to what he said, just looking at the atmosphere, you could tell that he seemed to be deeply moved.
As if his efforts are so precious.
But I also work very hard!
There are too many people who work hard, but only the successful ones, the one who stands on the stage to receive the award, will be respected by everyone for their efforts.
It seems that this proves how valuable hard work is!
The award ceremony is over.
Before Hao Qiang stood up and left, Messi took the initiative to shake hands and hug him.
Messi whispered to him: "Don't be discouraged, sooner or later you will be on the stage."
Hao Qiang let out a long breath.
"As someone who has stood on the podium four times, you are telling me this. I'm sorry, but I can't listen."
Messi shrugged lightly.
"I understand, but to be honest, you are starting to get a little scared. 25 goals in 20 Premier League games?"
Hao Qiang finally felt better.
"The latest data is 26 goals in 21 rounds."
Messi nodded and sighed: "Both Barcelona and Real Madrid don't want you to come to La Liga, because we are afraid that you will eventually join the other side."
Hao Qiang said calmly: "I know this, so I went to the Premier League. I don't think it will affect me. I am a very dedicated person. Now I only like the Champions League champion."
Messi said meaningfully: "Maybe Manchester City will go smoothly this season, because they were not champions before, but it may not be the case next season. Champions League? I will wait for you at Camp Nou in a month."
Hao Qiang laughed it off, parted ways with Boss Mei, refused to accept an official interview from FIFA and left.
He knew what FIFA official reporters would ask him, but he didn't know how to answer.
Relieved by the result, congratulations to Ronaldo?
Or will you question the results and turn yourself into a loser who cannot afford to lose?
Even though he knew that there would be topics when he left, it was still better than being in a dilemma in front of the camera.
On the private plane back to Manchester, Hao Qiang kept thinking.
Someone in his team was constantly comforting him and enlightening him.
But that doesn't help the outcome, and it doesn't do much for the future.
If you want to engrave yourself in history, the Golden Globe Award is a level that cannot be bypassed.
Because he can't put himself on top of the world by winning the World Cup.
He still knows how much he weighs.
The Chinese team's ability to enter the World Cup and its performance in the World Cup are completely two-dimensional concepts.
Because the World Cup preliminaries are against Asian teams, and when it comes to the World Cup, the difficulty increases exponentially!
Only by winning more honors and achieving more eye-catching achievements in the club can he be remembered by this era and become an immortal monument of this era!
