Although Xiweiya looked a little disappointed when she heard that the name Blatt pronounced was not Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong himself was very open-minded. He hugged Zidane, congratulations to Zidane for winning the award, and then followed with Cannavaro to the podium with Zidane.
Previously, former Dutch international Davis read out FIFA's evaluation of the three candidates. At this time, applause was everywhere in the hall, and Blatt personally handed over the World Footballer Gold Award to Zidane.
Caesar Bekenbauer of German football handed over the silver medal to Qin Xiong, and Cannavaro took over the bronze medal from Mattus.
After the three of them stood on the stage and took a photo, Zidane delivered a speech on the winning bid. There was no need for the winners of the silver and bronze awards to express any opinions. Even if there were, they would be interviewed later.
After the award ceremony, everyone went to the banquet together.
Qin Xiong was interviewed by reporters outside the auditorium.
The final score has come out. Zidane is only 32 points higher than Qin Xiong, and Qin Xiong is only 15 points more than Cannavaro. The gap between the top three is not big. Even Cannavaro and Ronaldinho, who is fourth, is only 21 points.
"Would you feel regretful if you didn't get the World Footballer? After all, the gap with Zidane is very small."
Qin Xiong smiled and shook his head, "No, I have no regrets. I am happy for him. In fact, being able to win the silver award is already a good result for me."
It can be said that the World Footballer has more outstanding performances than to compete for fame. Qin Xiong did not expect that his fame has soared so quickly in the past year and was able to approach Zidane. Of course, in addition to the World Cup, his performance evaluation in the past year was higher than that of Zidane, both in the league and the Champions League.
But Zidane has always had a huge popularity base!
This foundation is very solid.
In other words, if Qin Xiong's performance declines in the next two years, he may soon become indifferent to everyone, but superstars like Zidane, Henry, and Ronaldo will not. Even if they are silent for a while, as long as their performance improves slightly, they will quickly occupy the headlines of major football media.
After all, Qin Xiong is young, and it still takes time to accumulate such a huge popularity.
After attending the dinner at the Zurich Opera House, Qin Xiong and Xiweiya spent the night in the hotel. They set off for Madrid the next day to prepare for the last game of 2006.
Ronaldo, who has been in full swing in recent games, has often performed very actively on the training ground, joked with his teammates, and the open-ended training can always make the audience in the stands feel happy.
It seemed as if the omnipotent alien had returned and was enjoying football.
The time is December 20. The final battle of the first half of the Real Madrid League will be held the night afterwards. Qin Xiong came to Capello's office after the training that afternoon. He submitted a leave note to Capello.
Capello carefully looked at the content of Qin Xiong's leave request, then raised his head in confusion and looked at Qin Xiong, asking, "Are you going to take leave for personal reasons? One day?"
Qin Xiong nodded and said, "Yes, I have a private matter tomorrow and I want to ask for leave."
"Will it affect the day after tomorrow?"
"No, I promise!"
Capello has not communicated much with Qin Xiong in the past few months. There is always a feeling that everyone is not talking about anything, so he has not asked in depth. He believes in Qin Xiong's professional qualities. After all, the role model-level stars in training should not have asked for leave to attend commercial activities.
Besides, Qin Xiong promised that it would not affect the game, and Capello did not want to have an unpleasant relationship at the end of the league in the half of the league, so he approved Qin Xiong's fake note.
Another thing is that he considers that the opponent in the game the day after tomorrow is not strong, and he is at home in Real Madrid!
In the early morning of December 21, Qin Xiong woke up from his sleep. He subconsciously touched his side, but did not touch Xi Weiya. So he opened his eyes and found that he was the only one in the bedroom. He went downstairs and saw Xi Weiya humming a song and looking in a good mood to prepare breakfast in the kitchen.
Qin Xiong walked up and hugged her from behind. Xi Weiya smiled and turned her head to kiss him, saying, "It's still early. You can sleep for a while. I will call you later, so I won't delay your training."
Qin Xiong shook his head and said softly to her fragrant cheeks: "Today I will accompany you, I will accompany you all day. Let's go for a tour of Madrid. I have been here for so long, but I haven't really relaxed yet."
Xiweiya realized why Qin Xiong did this, and her heart was filled with sweetness.
Today is her birthday.
She didn't need Qin Xiong to prepare any gifts for her, and Qin Xiong also understood her, so she didn't prepare a gift today, just planned to spend the day with her all day, relax and relax like an ordinary couple.
Since he settled in Madrid, his life has been very fast and fulfilling. He has trained, played at home, and competed three points and one line, and often traveled back and forth across cities, regions, and even across hemispheres. He has not really been with Xiweiya. Even if he stayed at home all day, she was with him, not with her.
After learning that Qin Xiong had taken leave, Xi Weiya immediately went upstairs to take a shower and dress with Qin Xiong. After having breakfast at home, the two left the house in casual clothes and sunglasses.
The young couple is always in the bustling and bustling area of ​​Madrid. They often take out their cameras to take pictures, go shopping and taste delicious food, and spend a lot of fun throughout the day.
But Qin Xiong didn't know that he was being followed and photographed by the paparazzi in Madrid throughout the whole process.
When they returned home in the evening, Qin Xiong, who was still unsatisfied, asked Xi Weiya to put down the things she bought, and the two left the house again.
Qin Xiong felt that this night needed a little passion and atmosphere to end.
So he took Xiweiya to the nightclub, which might be the most active nightlife he could think of.
When he walked into a famous nightclub in Madrid with Xiweiya's hand, he was quickly recognized by the people in the nightclub, and many people cheered at the scene.
This is probably the first time Qin Xiong has appeared in a nightclub after coming to Madrid. With his current fame, almost no one here doesn't know him.
Qin Xiong and Xiweiya were sitting in the booth at first. He ordered nothing, and the table was filled with all kinds of wine. The waiter said that it was all invited by other guests, which made him and Xiweiya feel amused and amazed.
He just brought Xiweiya to experience the atmosphere. If he felt it was right, he would probably dance together.
Just as he and Xiweiya hugged each other forward and backwards on the side of the detachment, they suddenly came down from the second floor and walked towards Qin Xiong.
"Hi, Qin Xiong! I didn't expect to meet you here!"
