December 6, 2009, 7:00 p.m. sharp in the broadcast hall of France Television One.

The audience seats below the hall were filled with professionals from the world football community, many club coaches and even presidents, as well as many media reporters.

Everyone is gathered here to witness the birth of the 2009 European Footballer of the Year.

Now that the candidates were sitting in the first row of the spectators’ seats, many media reporters were aiming their cameras at them, frantically pressing the shutter.

The hosts on the podium were also introducing the candidates for the European Footballer of the Year in detail. Every time they introduced one of them, the live cameras would face the other, giving him a close-up of his face so that everyone present and in front of the television could clearly see the candidate’s choice.

The first candidate, Eto’o, appeared on the big screen.

African Cameroon star Cheetah Eto’o performed well at Barcelona in the first half of the year. He was one of the best strikers in world football and helped Barcelona a a lot in the first half.

In the second half of the year, he joined Inter through an exchange with Ibrahimovic. After arriving at Inter Milan, he was highly valued by José Mourinho and became the main center of the team. He made great contributions to Inter Milan and is now the top scorer in the Serie A league.

Eto’o’s performance this year has been very, very good, and his selection is justified.

But there are also a lot of people who don’t think Eto’o deserves to be picked because there are a lot of people who are better than him. Cristiano Ronaldo mentioned one yesterday and that is Manchester United’s number one star, Franck Ribery.

However, when the host introduced Eto’o’s data, thunderous applause still rang out.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in Zhong Cheng’s ear, “Loria, do you think he should be selected?”

Zhong Cheng didn’t need to turn his head to know that it was Alex Ferguson. He was too familiar with the voice. And he knew that Alex Ferguson was sitting next to him before he came.

When Zhong Cheng saw Alex Ferguson, he immediately said, “Don’t think about our club, Lewandowski. We won’t sell him to you.”

Hearing this, Alex Ferguson smiled bitterly. He had never thought of talking to Zhong Cheng about this. He was also very helpless in his heart. Since when did he have such an image in Zhong Cheng’s heart?

Hearing Alex Ferguson’s question, Zhong Cheng said indifferently, “Actually, it doesn’t matter if he is selected or not! This selection is just a contest between Chris and Messi. The others are all supporting actors!”

Alex Ferguson smiled bitterly and was speechless.

Suddenly, Alex Ferguson felt that Zhong Cheng really had the potential to poison his tongue.

Alex Ferguson asked, “So, Mr. Loria, do you think Frank should be on the final list?”

Zhong Cheng could tell that Alex Ferguson was complaining about Franck Ribery.

However, Zhong Cheng still asked, “Frank… Ribery?”

Alex Ferguson was slightly stunned and smiled bitterly. Did this fellow forget about Franck Ribery? Alex Ferguson nodded.

Zhong Cheng immediately put on a straight face and said, “There’s no point in him not being selected. Didn’t I say that this is Chris and Messi’s opponent? Everyone else is scum!”

Alex Ferguson’s breathing froze and he didn’t know what to say!

Zhong Cheng was indeed a poisonous tongue, this sentence directly pierced into Alex Ferguson’s heart!

Alex Ferguson was so angry that he didn’t seem to be talking to Zhong Cheng at all.

Seeing Alex Ferguson turn his head to the other side, he looked as if he was ignoring him. The corner of Zhong Cheng’s mouth rose slightly, and now his ears were really clear.

Zhong Cheng immediately turned his gaze to the rostrum. The supporters had already introduced the second candidate list.

The second candidate, Harvey, also appeared on the big screen.

Yes, the second candidate is Barcelona’s Xavi. To be honest, Xavi has performed very well this year. In fact, Xavi has performed very well in Barcelona every year. He is the core of Barcelona’s midfield.

Many people think that Harvey deserves the prize more than Leo Messi. For Barcelona, Harvey is more important than Leo Messi.

Now Barcelona coach Guardiola has said so.

However, these people now thought that Leo Messi was more powerful and awesome, because Leo Messi had a lot of highlights, while Harvey did not perform much. But Xavi’s position has determined that he will not have too much highlight, but without him Barcelona will have problems.

Many people think Harvey is Barcelona’s first brother.

However, many people today know that Harvey is a supporting character.

Very quickly, the host finished introducing the second candidate. The third candidate also appeared. This one was Leo Messi.

Yes, the third is also from Barcelona.

There were too many introductions for Leo Messi’s reporters. There were a lot of data and videos showing Leo Messi’s beautiful goals for the year.

Looking at Leo Messi’s goal, the crowd nodded their heads. This performance was really amazing!

Many people applauded like thunder, and some even said that the European Footballer of the Year award must have belonged to Leo Messi.

Very quickly, Leo Messi’s introduction passed.

Next up was the fourth candidate. Soon, this candidate’s face appeared on the big screen-Luka Modric!

The Leeds United man, who was in the Premier League in the first half of the year, He won the Champions League with Leeds United last season and was very, very eye-catching. He was at the heart of Leeds United’s midfield. Not only did he send out a lot of excellent assists, he also shot a lot of shots, most of which were long-range shots.

On the big screen was almost all of Luka Modric’s long-range highlights.

Many people were intoxicated by Luka Modric’s long-range shooting.

To be honest, many people here believe that without Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric would be the most deserving winner.

Many people present felt sorry for Luka Modric.

This was also a very, very good genius.

Alex Ferguson couldn’t help but turn to look at Zhong Cheng. Was this player once the ace of the Leeds United team? Why did this guy sell this player? Why didn’t you notify me when you wanted to sell it? If Lex Ferguson were to be notified, Luka Modric would now be a Red Devils United player.

Hmph, damn Madman Loria’s thoughts are so narrow-minded.

The last candidate to be introduced was Cristiano Ronaldo, whose name was unmysterious.

The big screen immediately replayed Cristiano Ronaldo’s performance during the year. To tell the truth, Cristiano Ronaldo’s performance was really great. Many people were shocked when they saw the video replay. The visual impact was very strong.

Cristiano Ronaldo really didn’t say anything.

Cristiano Ronaldo led Leeds United to last season’s Champions League title in the first half of the season and has done well in the second half, scoring goals and saving Leeds United in succession.

Many people on the scene were very conflicted right now. Just who had won this award?

Since the voting had been completed before the voting, the results of the voting were being counted.

There will be some singing and dancing performances, and then the deputy editor of French Football will announce the fifth and fourth spots. The two spots will be eliminated, and the final three will be on stage, in the middle of the stage, before announcing the winner’s name.

Alex Ferguson suddenly turned to Zhong Cheng and said, “Do you think Manchester United should buy Edin Dzeko or Mario Gomez?”

Zhong Cheng was slightly stunned. This Alex Ferguson’s thoughts were too jump!

This was the award ceremony for the European Footballer of the Year. This fellow’s thoughts had actually drifted to the winter transfer. Zhong Cheng was also speechless.

Zhong Cheng said, “I have told you the characteristics of these two people. You should have your own choices, right? Why don’t you bring these two in? Do you need to be so conflicted?”

Alex Ferguson shook his head and said, “You think I didn’t think about it, but Bayern Munich are only willing to sell one player!”

Zhong Cheng suddenly understood. He immediately turned around and stared at Alex Ferguson with a serious expression. “Then who are you going to choose?” He asked.

Alex Ferguson was about to open his mouth to say that name, but when he saw Zhong Cheng’s eyes, he immediately braked and said, “I haven’t thought of it yet!”

Zhong Chengshi chuckled and said, “Keep it a secret, right?”

Alex Ferguson immediately waved his hand and said, “No, no, it’s nothing. I’m not even talking to you anymore. What’s the point of keeping it a secret?”

As he spoke, Alex Ferguson turned his gaze elsewhere.

Seeing this, Zhong Cheng shook his head slightly and said that it wasn’t a secret. Your reaction had already betrayed you.

It was at this moment that the deputy editor of French Football announced the fourth and fifth names, Xavi and Eto’o, meaning Luka Modric, Rio Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were in the top three.
