Accompanied by a burst of nervous and exciting drumbeats, and amid the expectant and excited sounds of all the guests present, the top three rankings of this year's World Footballer suddenly appeared on the big screen behind the podium.
The whole place erupted into a long-awaited exclamation.
I saw the ranking of the three people appearing on the big screen. Su Dong was ranked at the top, followed closely by Ronaldinho and Henry. This means that this year's World Footballer winner is Su Dong!
"Let us congratulate Su Dong!"
"This Chinese player, who is only 20 years old, has become the tenth World Footballer of the Year and the youngest World Footballer of the Year."
The scene erupted into thunderous applause and cheers.
At this moment, media and fans around the world have also learned the news.
In the Zurich Opera House, the moment Su Dong saw the result, he was stunned, followed by a burst of ecstasy, but he desperately suppressed the excitement in his heart and turned to look at
Ronaldinho.
The moment the Brazilian superstar learned the result, a look of disappointment that he couldn't even hide appeared on his face. Henry couldn't help but reach out and cover his mouth, obviously to hide his confusion.
Last year, it was also on this podium that he was also the favorite for the World Footballer, but in the end he lost to his compatriot Zidane, finishing second and winning the Silver Ball. He made a comeback this year. He originally thought that with Arsenal's
With an unbeaten record in 49 Premier League games, he should have a chance to win the award.
Unexpectedly, he met the more powerful rising stars Su Dong and Ronaldinho.
This made him feel extremely frustrated. Even at the moment when the results were announced, he really felt like giving up completely, feeling that everything he had done in the past was in vain.
But Henry is Henry after all.
As a world-class superstar, he was not knocked down so easily. He quickly overcame his negative emotions, adjusted, regained his calmness and rationality, and managed to smile.
The same was true for Ronaldinho. He quickly smiled and showed his little buck teeth, turned around and took the initiative to open his arms, hugged Su Dong, and whispered in his ear congratulations on his election as the World Footballer.
"Congratulations, Sue!"
"Thanks!"
Later, Henry also took the initiative to come over, hug Su Dong, and congratulate him.
In the eyes of everyone, Su Dong has always been calm and unfazed, but in fact, he was very excited in his heart.
Even when he stretched out his hands to receive the World Player of the Year award from FIFA President Sepp Blatter, his hands were trembling slightly and he almost lost his grip.
Beckenbauer and Weah presented awards to Ronaldinho and Henry respectively, and then the two famous players congratulated Su Dong.
Especially Beckenbauer.
As early as when Su Dong played for Sporting Lisbon and Valencia, he had contact with Bayern Munich. Later, he also communicated with Beckenbauer on this issue. Now the German star has not made up his mind at the beginning.
It's too late for Bayern Munich to sign Su Dong.
"If you give me another chance, I will definitely bring you to the Bundesliga!" Beckenbauer said very firmly.
Su Dong kept thanking him, but he did not think there was a possibility of joining the Bundesliga in the short term.
Even for teams like Bayern Munich, it is actually difficult to make a difference in European football. They need more time to slowly accumulate and improve their overall strength.
After talking to Beckenbauer and Weah, it was Su Dong's turn to deliver his acceptance speech.
He grabbed the gold medal with both hands, took a deep breath, and walked to the microphone.
"This is the most special moment in my career!" Su Dong held up the gold medal in his hands with both hands. "It is very important to me. It is an affirmation of my past efforts and will also inspire me to work harder."
, strive to come here again.”
Subsequently, Su Dong thanked many people, including his parents, coaches and teammates from Valencia and Barcelona, and also mentioned some of his friends, such as David Silva of Valencia, Messi of Barcelona, etc.
.
On the big screen behind Su Dong, the distribution of this year's World Footballer votes was listed.
Su Dong undisputedly took the first place, followed by Ronaldinho and Shevchenko. His best friend Cristiano Ronaldo ranked 14th. Before him, Su Dong's opponent, played for
Chelsea's Didier Drogba ranked 13th.
Kaka and Rooney are both tied for 11th place, and Ibrahimovic is ranked 32nd.
After Su Dong thanked everyone in the circle, he paused.
Just when everyone thought the speech was over and applause began to ring out sparsely, Su Dong spoke again.
"I would also like to take this opportunity to thank one person in particular."
Silence returned to the venue again, and everyone was very curious. Who did Su Dong want to thank in particular?
"Back then, I was wandering on the streets of Lisbon, at a loss. I had no goals and no direction. I didn't know what I should do. I walked from a very far away place to the Marquis de Pombal Square and walked into
Edward VII Park, I saw a football in the indoor football field there."
Su Dong spoke very slowly, but everyone present listened very carefully.
"I walked in to play football, and a guy said to me, 'I'll play with you,' so he came out and challenged me. This encounter completely changed my life. I met my best friend.
"
"He not only taught me to play football, he also contacted his coach and tried every means to train me specially to help me improve my strength and level. He trained with me every day. He is my best polishing stone. From his
I learned a lot from him.”
"I am very, very grateful to him. Although he told me that I have already walked in front of him, I still want to take this opportunity tonight to stand here and tell him that in my mind, he also has
He is qualified to stand here, and I believe he will definitely stand here, and this day will not be too far away."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "He is...Cristiano Ronaldo!"
"I want to say to him, Ronnie, I'm looking forward to seeing you stand on this podium!"
After finishing speaking, Su Dong stepped back and raised the gold medal in his hand high.
At this moment, the Zurich Opera House burst into the loudest applause and cheers ever.
…………
…………
At almost the same time, in a luxury apartment far away in Manchester, the Cristiano Ronaldo mentioned by Su Dong was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching Su Dong on TV holding the gold medal high.
The Portuguese laugh out loud from the bottom of their hearts!
He is proud of his friends!
He was also very touched by what Su Dong said specifically to him just now!
This year, he is ranked fourteenth, so he must strive for it and move forward next year.
He believes that as long as he perseveres, he will be able to get on the podium one day.
Even if he couldn't win the award, he would still stand by Su Dong's side.
Because they are brothers!
"Brother, just stand there and wait for me!"
…………
…………
In his apartment in Barcelona, Messi was sitting in the living room at home, watching Su Dong lift the gold medal on TV.
If Su Dong was not here, he would not go home.
And just now when Su Dong was naming names to express his gratitude, when talking about Barcelona players, he mentioned Messi's name emphatically.
At this moment, the Argentinian youngster stared blankly at the TV screen, feeling longing for the first time in his life.
He hoped that one day he could be on that podium. He didn't really care whether he won or not, but he wanted to stand next to Su Dong and enjoy the honor with him.
He didn't want to follow Su Dong forever and accept Su Dong's help. He hoped to be by Su Dong's side.
"I will definitely catch up with you!"

In Munich, Germany, in a college student's apartment, Wang Chuqing crossed her white and slender legs on the bed and watched Su Dong holding up the gold medal on TV.
In her eyes, Su Dong seemed to be shining.
He has become the most shining star in world football!
No one, not even BMW, who had previously been optimistic about him, would have never imagined that he could reach the podium and win this award at such a fast speed.
Starting tonight, he is the World Footballer and Ballon d'Or winner!
He is a hero in the eyes of countless fans and a prince charming in the hearts of countless girls!
For the first time, Wang Chuqing clearly realized that the deepest chord in her heart had been touched.
This made her feel shy yet determined!
…………

At the Zurich Opera House, Su Dong was unaware of what was happening elsewhere.
After receiving the award and delivering a speech, he ushered in a long period of SOLO.
He has to face interviews alone with reporters from all over the world. This is also a test for all World Footballer winners. He must be able to withstand the torture of media reporters in order to win more recognition.
In fact, Su Dong has answered many questions repeatedly in the past period of time, especially after receiving the Golden Globe Award, but now, he still has to squeeze out a smile and take the trouble to answer again and again.
Many reporters' inquiries contained traps, which required Su Dong to carefully identify and avoid.
I have to say that dealing with these media is really more difficult than playing a ninety-minute game.
This is a massacre of brain cells, especially when they attack in groups.
Fortunately, Su Dong received training in this area at Barcelona. He had experienced several big battles in the past period and was able to cope with it, but in the end he was exhausted.
After he had dealt with all the media reporters and came to a deserted corner, he had time to take out his mobile phone.
He had many unread text messages and missed calls, mostly from his friends and teammates, all of them congratulating him on winning the award. Three of them caught Su Dong's attention the most.
"Brother, just stand there and wait for me!" From Ronnie.
Su Dong smiled and replied: "That's not possible. I run very fast and can't stop. If you have the ability, you can catch up!"
Another one came from Messi, "I will definitely catch up with you!"
Su Dong smiled again, "I'll wait for you!"
Finally, there was a text message from Wang Chuqing, which Su Dong didn't know how to reply to for a long time.
"Congratulations, Su Dong, you look so handsome on the podium!"
