The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1302
1302 I Hope You Can Open a New Era
Platini!
The guest of honor this time is UEFA president Alessandro Platini!
Yes, this was beyond everyone’s expectations!
The guest of honor this year was actually not a world famous football star, but UEFA president Platini.
Actually, everyone was really mistaken!
Platini is also a world famous football star, okay?
Platini, hailed as the best midfielder of the 1980s, helped France win the European Cup in 1984 and was named European Footballer of the Year three times.
He has also won many personal honors, such as the Italian Player of the Year, the Super Golden Ball Award, the European Cup Sagittarius, the Player of the Year, the World’s Player of the Year, and so on.
Platini was a superstar in the era of players.
Later, after retirement, Platini became head coach and was named the world’s best coach in 1991.
Later he was elected president of UEFA!
Yes, he was a world-class star before becoming president of UEFA.
That’s why Platini didn’t have any problems presenting the awards today.
Thunderous applause was given to former world football superstar and now UEFA president Alessandro Platini.
Platini looked at the children below the stage and smiled. Then, he took out an envelope prepared by the government and took out a piece of paper from the envelope.
Everyone present was extremely nervous as they quietly stared at Platini on the stage.
Platini, the president of UEFA, naturally knows how to create an atmosphere. When opening the paper in the envelope, his movements are very slow and not aimed at the audience below the stage, as well as Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi.
Everyone at the scene chuckled. This Platini was truly too torturous.
At this moment, Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi must hate Platini to death, right?
The cameramen at the scene were also very knowledgeable. First, they captured Platini’s micro-expression, and then the camera suddenly turned to the three candidates, Cristiano Ronaldo, Leo Messi and Luka Modric.
The cameraman captured every player’s micro-expression!
Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, looked very calm as he sat in his seat and watched Platini’s performance calmly.
Leo Messi was a little nervous. Although he tried his best to conceal it, he was still discovered by the cameraman and magnified infinitely. The fans in front of the TV should be able to see it.
Luka Modric, on the other hand, was very calm. He was here to accompany him.
Yes, there have been some changes to the selection list after the last three, with two other top five from Barcelona eliminated, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rio Messi and Luca Modellis.
Luka Modric was quite calm!
Then the cameraman’s camera turned to Platini on stage.
The spectators at the scene and in front of the TV set were all motivated. Everyone was watching Platini.
At this moment, Platini smiled strangely at the camera, causing everyone present to feel their hearts jump. What does this mean? Could it be that something unexpected had appeared here?
Who was the winner?
Was it not Cristiano Ronaldo, nor was it Leo Messi, but Luka Modric?
Has Real Madrid made a move?
At this moment, Platini quickly unfolded the piece of paper in his hand. Propyne quickly displayed the paper to everyone present. There were a few big words written on it-Cristiano Ronaldo!
“Cristiano Ronaldo, the 2009 World Player of the Year winner,” Platini immediately shouted.
The cameraman’s camera was immediately aimed at Cristiano Ronaldo.
Sure enough, it was Cristiano Ronaldo!
There are no surprises here. Cristiano Ronaldo really deserves the prize.
Cristiano Ronaldo did a lot better than the other two. Most importantly, Cristiano Ronaldo received two very important honors, which determined Cristiano Ronaldo’s success.
Below the stage, Cristiano Ronaldo smiled.
Although he looked very calm before, in fact, he was still a little nervous in his heart. After all, the weight of the prize was simply too great, and Cristiano Roan’s ears were very concerned about it.
“Congratulations to Cristiano Ronaldo. Congratulations to Cristiano Ronaldo for successfully defending the World Player of the Year award. He is really a very strong player. Let’s congratulate him together!” Platini said immediately.
Thunderous applause sounded from the crowd.
At the same time, the cameraman focused his camera on Leo Messi and Luka Modric. Although their faces were a little disappointed, it was not obvious. Especially Luka Modric. He knew that he was escorting him. He didn’t have a chance, nor did he feel too disappointed.
Of course, if you say that you are not disappointed at all, it is absolutely fake.
However, at this moment, Luka Modric immediately stood up and gave his former teammate a big hug, and sincerely congratulated, “Congratulations, Chris, you truly deserve this award!”
Cristiano Ronaldo hugged Luka Modric and said, “Thank you, my good friend!”
Leo Messi then gave Cristiano Ronaldo a hug and congratulated him. Before that, Cristiano Ronaldo had already embraced and celebrated with his mother and Zhong Cheng.
Countless people were on the phone in Cristiano Ronaldo’s crazy status.
Cristiano Ronaldo is really amazing. He deserves this award.
Alex Ferguson keeps nodding when he sees Cristiano Ronaldo on stage. The young man is really good, but he is no longer a Red Manchester United player.
“Now let’s invite Cristiano Ronaldo to receive the award!” Platini said immediately.
As everyone applauded, Cristiano Ronaldo slowly walked onto the stage!
At the same time, the top five rankings and votes appeared on the big screen. The first place was naturally Cristiano Roan’s Ear. The second was Leo Messi, the third was Luka Modric, the fourth was Harvey, and the fifth was Eto’o.
Of course, only the top three would be able to step onto the stage!
Cristiano Ronaldo took the lead. And shook hands with the people on the stage.
Platini gave Cristiano Ronaldo a hug and congratulated him. Cristiano Ronaldo successfully defended the World Player of the Year award.
Of course, before this, there were two consecutive stars who won the award: Ronaldo from Brazil and Ronaldinho from Brazil.
Ronaldo won the World Player of the Year award in 1996 and 1997, and Ronaldinho won the World Player of the Year award in 2004 and 2005.
Cristiano Ronaldo was third.
Of course, there are no players in the world who have won the World Player of the Year award for three consecutive years. The most likely one is Cristiano Ronaldo, and Platini is looking forward to him.
Platini said: “I hope you keep up the good work and we will see you here next year. I hope you can usher in a new era and become the first player to win this award for three consecutive years!”
Hearing this, Cristiano Ronaldo’s blood boiled and his heart surged.
Cristiano Ronaldo nodded firmly and said, “I will work hard!”
And then there was the awards. The first to receive the awards were Luka Modric and Leo Messi. Cristiano Ronaldo’s big show was going to stay behind.
Zhong Cheng was sitting below the stage, quietly staring at Cristiano Ronaldo. Zhong Cheng was also wondering if Cristiano Ronaldo would break history and become the first person in the world to win the World Soccer Line for three consecutive years.
Of course, it is very difficult to accomplish this goal.
In order to win this award for three consecutive years, it had to be undisputed and without suspense. Otherwise, if an award is given to the same person for three consecutive years, if there is a slight dispute, the organizing law will not be sprayed to death.
So next year, Cristiano Ronaldo will have a lot, much harder time winning the prize than anyone else.
Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo’s chances of winning the Champions League would be much higher if Leeds United could defend the title this year, become the first team to do so after the Champions League reform and win a title in England.
But next year Cristiano Ronaldo will face a very, very big challenge.
Next year is the pre-World Cup period, and it is clear that the absolute core of the World Cup winning team will be Cristiano Ronaldo’s biggest competitor.
Because the weight of the World Cup winner is really too heavy.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portuguese national team is having a hard time winning the World Cup, almost impossible.
So, Cristiano Ronaldo’s road next year will be very, very difficult!
Therefore, Zhong Cheng is still a little worried about Cristiano Ronaldo. This year, Cristiano Ronaldo has to obtain irrefutable club results so that he can have more weight to compete for next year’s World Player of the Year award.
After the awards ceremony, Zhong Cheng was prepared to talk to Cristiano Ronaldo about it. In the next six months, Cristiano Ronaldo would have to go all out. Preferably enough to win the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo will have a chance next year.
