When Bell's Gulfstream G550 private luxury business jet landed at Rio de Janeiro International Airport, it attracted the attention of media reporters from all over the world who came to this South American city.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Since entering the 2010s, Bell's light has been the brightest in the world. He has created so many records and miracles that the whole world cannot help but pay attention to him.

And Bell's team is really too strong. In addition to him being the favorite to win the Best Male Athlete Award, the other two are also the favorites to win the Best Team.

Of course, the beautiful Liu Xianer also murdered many journalists on film. Wearing a light pink dress on her convex and delicate body, she looks extremely sexy and attractive. Her charming face is smiling brightly, and her big eyes are looking at her posture, making everyone who is watching her beat their heartbeats. He couldn't help but speed up, and subconsciously pressed the shutter of the professional camera in his hand to record her voice and smile.

Bell and others simply accepted a few questions, and then left under the protection of airport security personnel. They went to the parking lot and got into the reception vehicle arranged by the hotel and drove away.

Although there is a distance of more than 9,000 kilometers between Manchester and Rio de Janeiro, there is no obvious time difference. After all, the longitude difference between the two places is only 40 degrees.

However, because Rio de Janeiro is located near the Tropic of Capricorn and belongs to the tropics, there is a big climate difference compared to Manchester, which is still a bit cold at the moment.

In general, this trip is like flying in the East from the city in the north to the Three Crowns City in the sea in the south.

Bell and the others took off from Manchester at 0:00 on the 9th, and the whole flight lasted exactly eleven hours. When they arrived at Rio International Airport, it was 8:00 a.m. local time on the 9th, and they had a good rest on the plane. Well, after all, flying on such a luxurious private jet is just like staying in a five-star hotel, so everyone was in good spirits after arriving.

The Lawrence Awards Ceremony will be on the night of the 11th, and there are still more than two days left, so Bell and Liu Xian'er decided to take a tour of this beautiful city. After all, this is their first time coming to this beautiful city. Cities in the Southern Hemisphere.

So, in the next two days, Bell and Liu Xian'er were seen on Rio de Janeiro's beautiful beaches, Loaf Mountain and Jesus Mountain.

………………

While Bale and Liu Xian'er were enjoying the bright sunshine on the beautiful beach in Rio de Janeiro, in far away England, the Premier League was still going on.

However, Manchester United's game this weekend is not the Premier League, but the FA Cup quarter-finals. They face the blue team Chelsea at home. Manchester United, which lacked Bell, had a dream start at home. First, Hernandez knocked on the door of Cech in the 5th minute, and then Rooney helped Manchester United expand the score to 2:0 in the 11th minute.

Taking an early two-goal lead sent Old Trafford into a frenzy with 75,196 fans watching.

Just when the visiting team seemed about to be defeated, transitional coach Benitez's substitutions had a miraculous effect, and the Blues suddenly came back to life.

In the 52nd minute, rising midfielder Hazard replaced teenager Moses. Only 7 minutes later, Hazard hit a powerful shot in the penalty area and hit the top corner, regaining a point. After another 9 minutes, Ramirez equalized the score with a low shot from the edge of the penalty area.

The morale-boosted Chelsea then took control of the game and launched a wave of offensive attacks. The Blues took 15 shots in the game, 11 of which were on target, far higher than Manchester United's 9 and 5 shots.

One minute before the end, Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea saved Mata's shot brilliantly, saving the Red Devils from the edge of elimination. But the spirit, tenacity and quality Chelsea displayed throughout the second half gave the outside world confidence that they were capable of knocking out Manchester United in the rematch back at Stamford Bridge.

"We were lucky to stay in the FA Cup. In the second half, our legs couldn't run. Chelsea performed much better than us, but I can't criticize the players for not being able to run. Because they tried their best on the night of the 5th Against AC Milan, a top team. We should accept this result. Moreover, we are still in the FA Cup." Ferguson said after the game.

The two Premier League giants have faced each other a total of 165 times before. Manchester United won 74 times, Chelsea won 43 times and the two sides drew 48 times.

The winner of the rematch between the two teams will face Manchester City in the semi-finals. The semi-finals will be held at Wembley.

In another quarter-final, Millwall tied with Blackburn 0:0, and the two teams will also rematch. The winner of both sides will face Wigan Athletic in the semi-finals.

On the evening of March 11, local time in Rio de Janeiro, the Laureus World Sports Awards ceremony officially began.

At the red carpet ceremony before the award ceremony, Liu Xian'er, who appeared with Bell, became the center of attention. Wearing a custom-made evening dress from Burberry, she was definitely the most beautiful person in the evening, even eclipsing another beautiful star who also came from the East.

Of course, being the girlfriend of Bell, the world's number one sports star, also gives her a halo.

At this awards ceremony, there was no shortage of oriental figures, such as the goddess of Hong Kong who once fantasized about Bell in another time and space, and several oriental athletes who performed well in last year's London Olympics.

However, Bell knew that this would be another gloomy night for the Easterners, and they were destined not to be the protagonist tonight.

And when the awards ceremony officially started and awards were announced one by one, everything was just as Bell had guessed.

However, before the awards ceremony began, Super Dan from the East accepted a special appointment from Lawrence and will become a "Lawrence Ambassador" from now on. The "Lawrence Ambassador" is a group composed of active or retired outstanding athletes from all over the world. Together with members of the Laureus Sports Society, we will promote Laureus' charity projects around the world and use the power of sports to improve the lives of more young people in need of care.

Then entered the formal award ceremony.

………………

The first award was the Best Team Award. After the short videos of the six shortlisted teams were played, the final winner was quickly announced. As expected, the Welsh men's football team became the final winner.

Although the results of other teams have amazed the world, they still pale in comparison to the weak Wales who finally won the Delaunay Cup, even the Red Devils Manchester United who defended the five-time crown for the first time in history.

After all, the Red Devils are the leading team in world football in recent years. Although their performance in defending the five-time crown is amazing, it was within the expectations of many people, unlike the weak Wales who finally won the European Cup. It's hard to imagine.

Later, Phelps from the United States received the Lawrence Special Contribution Award. And as he received this award, it also meant that he was unlikely to win the Best Male Athlete Award.

This is also expected by the media. It is true that at last year's London Olympics, Phelps won a record-breaking 22 Olympic medals, including 18 gold medals, becoming the first person in modern Olympic history. Such an achievement is great, but in the past In 2012, his competitors were too strong.

What followed was the Best Female Athlete Award, but the result of this award was revealed to be an upset. Last year, American tennis star Serena Williams, who won two Grand Slam championships and two gold medals in the Olympics, became the unprecedented winner of the "Singles and Doubles Golden Slam". She lost to British track and field athlete Jessica Ennis in the competition for this award and missed out on winning the award for the third time.

The 27-year-old Ennis is already an absolute superstar in British track and field. In last year's London Olympics, Ennis withstood the pressure of playing at home and successfully won the first gold medal in track and field for the British delegation, opening up the British Olympic team. Prelude to the climax. As a result, she became a British idol. Now she has won the title of World Laureus Female Athlete of the Year, and she has reached the pinnacle of her career.

Of course, more people still believe that Ennis can defeat Serena mainly because of her appearance.
