Just seconds after the host announced the winner of the World Footballer of the Year, countless cities as far away as China were set off with colorful fireworks.

At that moment, it was really beautiful!

At the same time, the big screen of the opera house also showed the wonderful moments of Iello last season and this season, including Inter Milan and Porto, as well as Barcelona and Manchester United.

Of course, the most important thing is the game at home to Real Madrid in Valencia this season, where he left Cannavaro in quick succession, which surprised the fans in front of the TV.

Could it be ...... That's why Cannavaro was defeated?

After the broadcast, the final scores of the three World Footballer of the Year candidates were displayed on the big screen.

Iroh tops the list with 498 points, Cannavaro with 454 points, and retired Zidane with 380.

As the camera returned to the podium, the fans sitting in front of the TV fell silent, wanting to see Iroh lift the Ballon d'Or trophy and, of course, hear Iroh's acceptance speech.

Especially the older generation of fans, who are tired of hearing the World Footballer of the Year speech from other countries, finally took the turn of the players from their own country to stand on the podium of the opera house to receive the award and give the acceptance speech.

****

Once the qiē was ready, Davis held the gold ball in his hand, Hierro held the silver ball, and Beckenbauer held the bronze ball, and lined up in order to face the three World Footballer of the Year candidates.

As soon as Davis walked up to Iroh, he couldn't wait to reach out his hands to get the golden ball, but Davis obviously didn't expect Iroh to do this.

Because the awarding ceremony has not yet begun.

And this scene happened to be captured by the audience, the host and the fans watching the live broadcast, so the scene erupted in a burst of good-natured laughter.

The beautiful hostess also joked, "It seems that our young and handsome World Footballer of the Year can't wait to hold the golden ball in his hand......"

Hahaha――

Suddenly, the audience laughed again.

Of course, applause is indispensable.

Most people on the scene still think that this year's World Footballer of the Year winner is more objective, not to mention in the second half of 2005, just say that in the whole year of 2006, Elo's play is obvious to all, if it were not for the blank of the national team, he is estimated to have broken Gerd Müller's record of 85 goals, you must know that he has scored an astonishing 82 goals in all competitions so far, and there is only a three-goal gap from the German bomber Gerd Müller's annual goal record!

What's more important is that his position is not a striker or a center, but a winger who mainly assists.

On the other hand, Iello scored so many goals as a winger, which also allowed capable wingers to gain more possession and handling power, and also accelerated the evolution of professional football.

In the past, the role of a winger was to break through to the bottom line with outstanding speed and then cross the bottom, but this is not the case with the new generation of wingers, who are more responsible for breaking through with the ball and cutting inside.

It is not so much that Iello won the World Footballer of the Year because of his outstanding performances that helped Valencia win the first domestic double in the club's history, but that he is a good example of the reform of international football!

……

The first award was the bronze award, which was presented by the German football emperor Beckenbauer to the third-ranked Zidane, and at this moment, I don't know how many Zidane fans were disappointed and left tears.

This was followed by the silver ball awarded to Cannavaro by former Spain international Hierro.

Finally, it was the craziest moment of the entire FIFA Awards Ceremony, when Davis handed the golden ball in his hand to Iro, and Iro's hands began to tremble with excitement.

Fortunately, although Davis is rough, his mind is quite delicate, looking at Iroh's trembling hands, he directly sent the golden ball to Iroh's hands.

What's interesting is that the beautiful hostess didn't forget to joke with Iro, "The handsome new world footballer is so excited that his hands tremble, be careful...... If it breaks, there is no new one, otherwise we will have to wait for next year......"

There was another burst of laughter.

Arlo blushed, nodded gratefully at Davis, accepted the Golden Ball trophy, which symbolizes the world footballer, and then held it up excitedly.

At the same time, Liu Jianhong adjusted his breathing again and shouted: "Ailuo! Hold aloft the golden ball, which symbolizes the world footballer of the year! From now on!! Our country also has a World Footballer of the Year!! ”

Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV and computer also clenched their fists again excitedly.

After the three guests were awarded, Blatter, as the head of FIFA, naturally needed to show his face at this time and shake hands one by one.

***

After Ailo and FIFA President Blatter shook hands, he lowered his head and looked at the trophy in his hand, and then secretly pinched his palm, and found the pain in his heart, only to know that this qiē ...... It's all true!

I...... Really World Footballer of the Year!!

"Now I would like to invite our new World Footballer of the Year to speak!!"

Accompanied by the infectious voice of the male host, the audience resounded with neat applause.

Zidane saw that Ai Luo was stunned again, secretly ripped off the corner of his clothes, turned his head and whispered in his ear: "Ai! Don't be stunned, it's your turn to speak. ”

Belch...... After turning around, he glanced at Zidane gratefully, and then slowly walked to the podium, but his attention was always on the Golden Ball trophy in his right hand.

The applause stopped, and everyone's attention was on Iroh on the podium.

He coughed and spoke accurately, but found that the golden ball in his hand was a little awkward, so he put the golden ball on the podium, and just about to speak, he thought of another thing, looked awkwardly in the direction of the host on the scene, and asked tentatively: "Can I speak in Chinese?" ”

The two hosts glanced at each other, and they could see a trace of difficulty in each other's eyes.

At this moment, Blatter spoke, "Yes! ”

Iroh glanced at Blatter gratefully, re-looked at the whole scene, and found that everyone's eyes were on him, which was a feeling of great attention, and he was sincerely excited and excited!

"To be honest, I still can't believe that I am this year's World Footballer of the Year, I was ready to play soy sauce before I came, but I didn't expect that this qiē is really ......" Ailo looked down at the glittering golden ball, and continued: "First of all, I have to thank the former head coach Mr. Ranieri, who gave me the opportunity and trust, and of course, my current head coach Mr. Flores also gave me a lot of help, He told me as soon as I came back from the World Junior Championships, and he would give me enough trust! That's why I played next... And thanks to my teammates, it's their selfless dedication that allows me to put more of my mind into attacking......"

Here, Iroh read out a whole bunch of names, even a small member of the club's staff, he didn't miss it.

Although Iroh said Chinese, there was a simultaneous translation on the spot, so naturally there was no need to worry that the audience at the scene could not understand, but it was a little difficult to translate......

After thanking the club, a new round of thanks began, "Secondly, I would like to thank the judges from all over the world who voted for me, who made me a nobody who has become a high-profile ......."

Finally, Ilo thanked his family and friends, "In the end, I want to use this platform to thank my parents for their support to me, otherwise I would not have insisted on the path of professional football, and my good friend He Puqi, who helped me to travel across the ocean to Valencia...... Of course, there are also the domestic fans who support me, who look forward to me and give me full motivation, and at the end of the day, they are indispensable to be able to stand in this place......"

Ai Luo spoke very quickly, which also led to omissions and translation errors in the simultaneous translation process, but fortunately, the general idea was basically correct, and there was no need to worry that the audience at the scene could not understand.

After all the thank-you speeches, Iroh gave the real acceptance speech.

"I know the historic significance of standing on this podium at this moment!"

This time it was in English, so the audience could hear it clearly.

"To be able to stand here is to prove one thing, football...... There is no difference in racial color, and yellow people and Chinese can also stand on this highest stage! ”

Liu Jianhong from the Beijing studio said at the same time, "That's right! The success of Ailuo also proves that we Chinese can also stand on the highest stage, as long as we are not arrogant, we have a chance to succeed!! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, one last thing to tell you is ......" Everyone in the scene was appetized by Iroh, thinking that he had some earth-shattering news to announce.

"Goals and titles...... I enjoyed it very much!! Iroh rolled his eyes and raised the Golden Globe trophy from the podium again, "This time next year, I'm ...... Will come back here! ”

Amid a round of applause, Iroh finished his 10-minute speech, then returned to his previous position and posed for a photo with the four award presenters, as well as Zinedine Zidane and Cannavaro.

Finally, among the two handsome and beautiful hosts, it was announced that the 2006 FIFA Awards Ceremony had officially come to an end.

***

The next day, many Chinese media used a headline: From today onwards, please call him the king of Chinese football.

Like the four major domestic portals: New Wolf, Sohu, Penguin, and Wangyi, they all used another title to attract netizens: Xinke World Footballer, Made in China!

This kind of headline is very lethal for Chinese fans, according to incomplete statistics, as long as the newspaper has the World Footballer of the Year on the page, all have been sold out, and many media are sincerely excited and make a lot of money at the same time.

As Ello is the first World Footballer of the Year in the history of Valencia FC, he was greeted with the highest welcome when he arrived at Valencia International Airport.

Even the mayor of Valencia was present in person, next to the ambassador of the Chinese embassy in Spain, and next to the president of the club, Soler......

Elo's election as World Footballer of the Year has also indirectly expanded the international influence of Valencia, and at the same time, the work of the Chinese ambassador to Spain has been smoothed out a lot.

Of course, he has also contributed his own strength in the road of building his country into a sports power.

Before you know it, he has become a national hero.

PS: Thank you for the two monthly passes of Kobe!
