At 10 o'clock in the morning of 10 July, the conference hall on the 13th floor of the Hilton Hotel in Johannesburg was full of seats for 330 people, and long guns and short guns were aimed at the rostrum.

There were vacant seats on the stage, but the reporters seemed very excited.

"Wang ......deserves to be the best player"

"Today we can finally take a closer look and see how serious his injury really is......"

"Wang's absence from the final always makes people feel that something is missing."

"Yes, both teams are known for their luxury midfielders, and without the king, the midfield duel in the Anglo-Spanish battle is missing a big highlight......"

The protagonist did not play, and the reporters talked about it offstage.

At that moment, there was applause at the door, and the reporters suddenly became excited, and they turned their eyes to the door, and FIFA officials in suits and leather shoes walked into the conference room.

Journalists, of course, are not concerned with him, but with the people behind him.

A handsome face appeared in the reporter's field of vision, but the reporters exclaimed: "Why not the king?" ”

"What the hell is going on?"

The sunny Beckenham smiled bitterly in his heart, when had he ever been ignored like this?

After the two took their seats on the rostrum, there was even more discussion in the audience, some people speculated whether Wang Rui's injury was so serious that he could not even attend the awards meeting, and some speculated that it may still be a smoke bomb released by England......

The glittering trophy for the best player of the World Cup was placed on the rostrum, and FIFA officials were sitting precariously, and the chatter in the audience slowly subsided.

"After statistics, Wang received 3,200 votes and won the title of the best player in this World Cup, which was voted by reporters and participating teams."

After announcing the winner of the best player, FIFA officials presented the trophy to Beckenham next to him. Beckenham took the trophy, gently placed it on the table, and sat down.

"I know you have a lot of questions, such as why I accepted the award on behalf of Wang, such as what is Wang's current injury, such as whether he can be on the stage of the final......"

Beckenham said into the microphone: "Wang's current injury is really not optimistic, whether he can appear in the final, it is really difficult to answer you now, I am like everyone, I hope he can appear in the final." ”

'We know better than anyone how important the king is to England and if he misses the final it will affect us too much, but we are now devised new tactics to deal with the impact of his absence......

……

At the Venus Hotel, Wang Rui was lying on the bed with his right foot crossed and talking to Lytis on the phone, and the fixed plank of his right ankle had been removed.

Peter is watching footage of the game in Spain on his laptop computer, and he is studying the Spanish defenders. The glittering Player of the Year trophy sits haphazardly on the TV stand.

Peter rubbed his tired eyes, shifted his gaze from the computer to Wang Rui, and then unconsciously shifted to the trophy on the TV stand.

"Damn, you don't even know how to put a trophy away, do you know how speechless someone would be if they saw you so casually?"

Peter got out of bed and placed the trophy in a prominent position, and then straightened up in satisfaction and looked at the trophy affectionately.

Wang Rui put down his phone and said with a smile: "Since you like it so much, I'll give it to you." ”

Peter's shoulders began to shake slightly, Wang Rui knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "Just kidding! It's just a joke......"

Peter turned around slowly, stared at Wang Rui without saying a word, Wang Rui raised his eyebrows and said, "Can't you even make jokes?" ”

Peter's eyes were even sharper, and Wang Rui could only beg for mercy: "Okay, can I take back my words?" ”

Then he complimented: "The next World Cup is definitely yours." ”

Peter became furious: "Damn, with you, do I have a chance to get this trophy?" ”

"You said you were going to give me the trophy, didn't that mean very clear, you mean I won't get this trophy at all!

"In addition, if others regard it as a precious trophy, you will give it away when you say it? Is there anyone like you? ”

Wang Rui said calmly: "The team that has won the best player in the last three World Cups has not won the final championship, and I hope I didn't win this trophy."

Compared to the Hercules Cup, this trophy is nothing at all......"

The anger on Peter's face disappeared, he scratched his scalp and said: "You seem to have a point, Ronaldo won the best player in '98, but the French team had the last laugh, Kahn won the best player in '02, Brazil had the last laugh, Zidane won the best player in '06, and the Italian team had the last laugh......"

"What's more, their best players all performed badly in the final, Ronaldo in '98 was in a mess, Kahn in '02 pounced on the ball and gave Ronaldo a big gift, and Zidane in '06 simply took the initiative to apply for a red card."

Peter turned his head to look at the Player of the Year trophy, and now it feels like a hoodoo no matter how you look at it.

"Damn, this is designed by FIFA, they want Spain to win the title, so giving you this trophy is comforting our England team!"

Peter raised his eyebrows, thought about it, and said to Wang Rui: "Why don't we find a way to let others steal this trophy, what do you think?"

Or...... You don't want to play in the final......"

Wang Rui looked at Peter pitifully and said, "Peter, when did you become so superstitious?" ”

Peter was furious: "Damn, didn't you say that, you said that the people who won this trophy did not win the final in the end, and now you actually call me superstitious?" ”

Wang Rui shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just said it casually, where did I expect you to be so serious." Peter, are you too nervous, it's not good for the final. ”

Peter's face turned red, yes, when did he ever believe in these so-called "laws", it should have been caused by too much nervousness.

But how could he admit defeat in front of Wang Rui, he raised his head and said, "Who am I?" I'm Peter, does Peter's dictionary have the word 'nervous'?

No!

Never!

Boy, in the final, you just sit on the bench and watch how I scored and how I led LinkedIn Gran to the top of the world again! ”

Wang Rui laughed, and after laughing, he said: "Your wish may be disappointed, and on the day of the final, I will definitely recover, and I will definitely not sit on the bench and watch you take LinkedIn Grandon to the top of the world."

Of course, I am responsible for such an important responsibility! ”

Peter looked at Wang Rui levelly, rarely did not ridicule him, sighed and said, "I hope what you said is true." ”

"Let's hope luck is on our side." (To be continued.) )
