Chapter 686: The Lonely Mr. Golden Ball

(I made a mistake in the previous chapter, it's the World Footballer of the Year, not the Ballon d'Or)

The spring breeze Ronaldo and Kaka appeared here at the same time, and they also saw Dong Fangzhuo at the same time.

Dong Fangzhuo finally smiled faintly.

"Hey, my brother,"

"Are you okay?" Ronaldo took the initiative to come over and give Dong Fangzhuo a big hug, "I miss you to death." ”

"Thank you for your hard work."

Dong Fangzhuo stood quietly, a little stunned, because he didn't know what to say.

Whether it is good or not, only your own heart knows.

Perhaps, more bitterness.

But what he replied was,

"I'm fine."

The two of them hugged for a long time before they let go, and then Kaka showed his white teeth and hugged Dong Fangzhuo with a little water, after all, the relationship between the two people is not so affectionate.

This season, Dong Fangzhuo has no way to compare with Ronaldo, Ronaldo is now majestic in La Liga, and Kaka and Vanney have formed a terrifying KFC combination, and in the Champions League, they are even more slaughtered, with 6 consecutive wins to kill the knockout round, and Manchester United is only ranked sixth in the league, and it is not known whether it can participate in the Champions League next season, as for this season's Champions League, it has already been eliminated.

Coincidentally, after the three of them entered the opera house, the positions were also close together, perhaps deliberately arranged by the organizing committee. With Cristiano Ronaldo to the left and Kaka to the right, and Messi to the right, these are perhaps the four best performers of the 2006-07 season.

Ronaldo has been whispering in Dong Fangzhuo's ear very excitedly, and Dong Fangzhuo just smiled faintly, the closer to the award, the heavier his mood became.

Although this award is an individual award, it always makes him ring as a team of Manchester United all the time.

※※※※

Dong Fangzhuo finally stood on the top podium and received the award of the Footballer of the Year from FIFA President Sepp Blatter. Last year he was only eighth in the award, but this year he won the prize.

And his testimonial was full of sadness.

Although there was no choking.

"Tonight was a special night for me because when I was younger, I just dreamed of being a professional player for Dalian Wanda and playing a game for the national team and that's it. But I didn't expect to get more one day. ”

'But I want to say sorry to Sir Alex Ferguson and the Manchester United fans now because I didn't win the Club World Cup for the team.

Things in the world don't always seem to be perfect, and the dream of a six-crown title has not been fulfilled.

At this time, there was a faint sigh in the audience.

Yes, he failed to win a Club World Cup for Manchester United in Tokyo, and such a footballer is not perfect. On such a happy day, the moment the captain of Manchester United won the World Footballer of the Year award, his face was not happy, but still faintly sad......

Mr. Footballer on stage, at the end of this year, it was really miserable.

When Ronaldo heard this, his heart stirred inexplicably, perhaps he felt that Manchester United did not get this trophy, and he was also responsible.

Alas......

In the voting attended by the head coaches and captains of the men's teams of FIFA's member associations, Dong Fangzhuo topped the list with 1,047 points, surpassing the combined scores of Kaka (504) and Cristiano Ronaldo (426). Lionel Messi (209 points), Didier Drogba (109 points) and Steven Gerrard (68 points) are ranked 4 to 6.

※※※※

After getting the World Footballer of the Year, Dong Fangzhuo rushed to Paris non-stop, and "French Football" presented this year's European Golden Ball Award.

"French Football" announced through France TV and the official website of the magazine at the same time: Dong Fangzhuo won the 52nd Ballon d'Or in history in 2007, and he overwhelmed the other two new generation stars Kaka (277 points) and Ronaldo (255 points) with an absolute advantage of 444 points, Messi (108 points) and Pirlo (41 points) ranked 4th and 5th respectively.

"It's been a special year for me and this award is a testament to that. The only way to win this award is to be part of the Fighters team, so I'm grateful to my teammates, my coach, and my teammates in the national team. I would also like to thank all the people who have supported me throughout my career. ”

After the baptism of the World Footballer, Dong Fangzhuo was not so sad at the Ballon d'Or ceremony, and his tone of voice became a lot happier.

In this era, the Ballon d'Or is actually more convincing than Mr. Footballer, and the Ballon d'Or is more authoritative.

Dong Fangzhuo's election is actually not much suspense, and the English media revealed a week ago that "French Football" went to Manchester to conduct an exclusive interview and filming of Kaka. In the past year, the European Champions Cup has become the most important honour due to the lack of heavyweight national team competitions. Dong Fangzhuo played a crucial role in helping Manchester United win the Champions League, winning the Champions League top scorer with 19 goals and setting a terrifying record, which earned him the best striker and MVP in Europe last season. In addition, Dong Fangzhuo was also named Player of the Year by the International Professional Footballers' Association.

If Dong Fangzhuo still has regrets, it is that he did not help Manchester United win the Club World Cup, and everything that has been decadent this season.

Winning the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or was originally a rare event for players and clubs, but when Dong Fangzhuo returned to Manchester, he was not cheered by Manchester United, and the club did not hold any major celebrations for him, and Dong Fangzhuo also refused all media interviews, even if the domestic "Sports Weekly" came to invite him, he did not speak.

This is not the time.

He still chose to remain silent......

He now has one goal left for United, which is to help them finish in the top four of the league and qualify for next season's Champions League.

And when Dong Fangzhuo attended the award ceremony, Moyes combined Tevez and Rooney, and as a result, Manchester United played a rare 4:0 victory, although the opponent was only the black cat Sunderland, but this was an away game.

Manchester United fans and David Moyes seemed to have discovered a new winning rule, and then Moyes naturally threw Dong Fangzhuo on the bench, with Tevez starting in the league and Dong Fangzhuo starting in the FA Cup.

But after two league games, Moyes found that the league still needed Dong Fangzhuo, and his idea of correcting Tevez failed again.

In this way, Moyes stumbled with Manchester United to the end of the season in a back-and-forth. And Tevez was ineffective, Dong Fangzhuo finally won back the starting position, and the goal is still in good shape.

On 21 May, United fans were relieved when they finished fourth in the league that they had secured a place in next season's Champions League.

Fourth place is a play-off, but it's better than going to the UEFA Cup.

"Fight for the four, haha!"

"Manchester United will have today." Arsenal fans have discovered that the league has not been on Manchester United for three years, and this time, they can finally satirize Manchester United.

Although Arsenal didn't get any good results either, they only finished third, but they couldn't do anything about it if they liked to compete with fourth-placed Manchester United.

Manchester United fans naturally can't stand these angers, but what they say is true.

"What about fourth, don't forget, there's an FA Cup final!"

"Can you Arsenal win against Manchester United?"

"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, have you forgotten that the top scorer in the league is not your Henry, but Dong?"

Although the top scorer is still between Henry and Dong Fangzhuo, and there is a Torres in the middle, Dong Fangzhuo still won the top scorer of the season with 22 goals, winning this honor for two consecutive years.

Moreover, Manchester United has not achieved nothing this season, Moyes unintentionally threw Dong Fangzhuo to play the FA Cup, and Dong Fangzhuo actually led the team to the final of the FA Cup, and the opponent happened to be Arsenal, who also did nothing......

David Moyes stands in front of all Manchester United players in the dressing room at Wembley Stadium on May 26.

'I think everybody knows what the FA Cup means and we can finish the season with the FA Cup.

"It's a gift we give to the fans of Manchester United."

"We're going to give it our all."

Dong Fangzhuo silently lowered his head and said nothing.

He was not able to make the starting line-up for this game, but was only in the squad, and it was Carlos Tevez who started in his place. For the first time, Manchester United's captain's armband was worn on Rooney's arm......

This is not the first time this season that he has not started without the captain's armband, it has happened at least ten times this season, and since '08, Moyes has been constantly handing the captain's armband to Rooney or Ryan Giggs, and his first captain status has not changed, but the treatment has changed......

"Oh, in the last game of the season, Dong is still sitting on the bench, Moyes, this guy, really has no gratitude, if he still wants to win an FA Cup, he should let Dong start, is the Premier League's top scorer sitting on the bench at Manchester United?"

"Alas......"

"Dong,"

"Dong,"

"Dong,"

Manchester United fans saw Dong Fangzhuo not playing in the stands, and seemed to realize something, but it was too late, and there was no way to change everything.

"This season, Moyes has treated Dong too unfairly,"

"Manchester United was completely ruined in his hands."

"But whatever, even if we win the FA Cup? It doesn't make any sense ......."

※※※※

"How much do they offer?"

'46 million euros in cash, plus 20 million euros Eto'o and Hleb on a one-year free loan, plus Inter Milan will have the right of first refusal to buy Hleb for 10 million euros after one year.

"No, no, no, I don't want Eto'o, I don't want Hleb, I want cash, cash, cash!"

"Convert Eto'o and Hleb into cash, I need cash!"

"What's going on with Manchester United, Crespo do they want it? They can pick any player from our team. ”
