Chapter 421: The Showdown between Two Generations of Red Devils No. 7

Beckham has become a popular candidate for the 2008 World Footballer. Such a topic would have been impossible for many people to think about two years ago!

Because, according to the rules of the football world, the 33-year-old Beckham should even start to consider saying goodbye to the youth sport of 'football', let alone any awards such as "World Footballer" …

Even Beckham, who was still at his peak, did not win this honor!

However, when that magical Chinese madman appeared like a 'broom star' two years ago, Beckham's career suddenly seemed to be on a Scud missile, and earth-shaking changes took place... …

World Footballer of the Year?

Yes, everything has become very possible for ‘midfielder’ Beckham again!

In fact, in 2007, the title of 'World Footballer' was already very close to Beckham. After being transformed into a defensive midfielder by Crazy Li in the 2006-07 season, he performed extremely amazingly in Real Madrid's 'Mythical Season'!

However, the fat alien Ronaldo was even crazier that season. After scoring 80 goals in a season, the Brazilian finally won the World Footballer for the fourth time, while Beckham could only finish second for the third time!

In the 2007-08 season, Ronaldo's condition plummeted due to injuries, but Beckham still maintained a steady performance...

Not only did he help Real Madrid defend the league title in La Liga, but more importantly, he helped the England team achieve a historic breakthrough as captain in the 2008 European Cup. In the eyes of everyone at the Seoul Stadium, the Delaunay Cup, which symbolizes the top of Europe, was raised!

Such results are enough for him to win any trophy in football in the world!

However, the only suspense is that Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo played very crazy last season. As a winger, he scored 42 goals on all fronts in the season. Such results allowed him to win the top scorer and top scorer in the Premier League. European Golden Boot, Champions League top scorer...

There is no doubt that the World Footballer of this issue will be between David Beckham and Ronaldo. This is an honorary showdown between the old and new generations of Red Devils No. 7!

Among the current Newcastle players, Michael Owen also entered the top five in the selection list.

[Lightning Killer] scored second only to Ronaldo in the Premier League last season, and was the top scorer in the European Cup. He is also in the limelight. The only flaw is that Owen has a blank in terms of club honors!

In addition to these three people, the other two players in the top 5 of the selection list are Barcelona's new king Messi and Liverpool's new Holy Infant Torres!

In addition, Newcastle midfielder Alan Smith, wingers Juan Mata and Lukas Podolski were also shortlisted for the 2008 World Footballer of the Year candidates, but the three guys did not make it to the end...

Of course, in addition to the players, Lee Tong-beom may receive his own honor at the award ceremony-the best coach in the world.

Although Lao Li has already won this honor in his first season leading Real Madrid, but honor is something that no matter how much you get, you will not be soft on it, right?

Competing with Li Tongfan for this honor are Manchester United coach Ferguson and Turkey coach Terim, both of whom are old enemies!

January 5, 2009.

When night begins to fall, Zurich, Switzerland becomes dimly lit.

Zurich on this night is destined to be a supreme palace dedicated to football. The world's most famous football players, coaches, football celebrities, and senior officials from the Football Federation have all gathered here!

Reporters from all over the world surrounded the Grand Theater in Zurich. Tens of thousands of devoted fans braved the severe cold and waited at the gate of the opera house, just to be able to have close contact with their idols. Even a glance would bring happiness. of……

More than 1,000 public security policemen were sent to the streets by the Zurich city government to maintain order. A car ban was imposed within three kilometers of the opera house. Only guests attending the important awards ceremony in the evening were allowed to drive to the entrance of the opera house...

Starting at around six o'clock in the evening, fans and reporters gathered at the entrance of the opera house began to cheer and scream, and the guests began to arrive...

The night is getting darker, but the enthusiasm of reporters and fans is getting higher and higher. Under the orange lights, 'gods from all walks of life' continue to appear in the public eye——

Loew, captain Ballack, Casillari, Cannavaro, Kaka, Raul, Drogba...

When the stars who have always shown off their game shirts put on straight suits and appeared in sight, the white thunderbolt released by the spotlight was like the lightning rod of Zeus, the father of the gods, crazily covering the Zurich Opera House tonight. …

The arrival of every superstar will cause crazy cheers and applause.

Every superstar's smile and wave are enough to make his supporters faint with happiness...

It's a star-studded night, both in the sky and on the earth!

The arrival of Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo first brought the atmosphere at the entrance of the Opera House to a climax. The police who maintained order at the scene used all their strength to stop a group of crazy fans who tried to cross the cordon and take photos with their idol. Come down...

The Portuguese seemed to be in a good mood, with his iconic charming smile on his face, a straight black suit and a well-groomed hairstyle, making this God's darling look handsome and unrestrained, like a prince who stepped out of a myth...

With the media following and fans cheering, the Portuguese King stepped up the steps of the Opera House step by step and entered the hall...

He might be the protagonist tonight!

As time went by, the crowd at the door of the Opera House became anxious, because up to now they had not waited for the other two heavyweights tonight——

Crazy Lee and David Beckham!

There were less than twenty minutes before the official start of the awards ceremony. At this moment, a white extended Lincoln slowly drove over and appeared at the door of the Opera House...

The crowd began to get restless.

The fans crowded forward crazily, while the reporters clung to the cameras and camera lenses in their hands. If they guessed correctly, the person in Lincoln must be a certain super figure.

The car door slowly opened...

Sure enough, Beckham, the favorite of this year's World Footballer, stepped out...

The overwhelming flash lights flashed instantly, and the cheers of the fans sounded like warriors fighting on the battlefield...

Just as people were cheering, another person walked out of the carriage——

It's Crazy Li!

The scene was buzzing! !

Someone finally squeezed through the policeman's "heavy encirclement" and rushed towards the two of them crazily...

Li Tongfan just got out of the car and took a look...

Shouting, a beautiful woman rushed over?

The sultry man was about to open his arms to accept the crazy 'torture' of the beauty, but he saw the two blonde beauties rushing into Beckham's arms with tears of happiness...

"Second uncle, I should have known a long time ago that I couldn't appear with this beast like Xiaobei. He completely stole the limelight..."

The sultry man was extremely angry at this moment.

Interior of the Zurich Opera House.

The hall can accommodate thousands of people watching the opera at the same time, and it was decorated in a unique way tonight.

There are five large, comfortable round chairs on the rostrum. A huge slide image emits a faint light in the slightly dark hall. In its place, there is a series of eye-catching golden characters on the rostrum——

“FIFA-WORLD-PLAY-2008!!!”

The opera house is filled with such tension and elegance!

At this time, the entire awards ceremony has reached the stage of announcing the Footballer.

Michael Owen, Messi, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Torres appeared on the rostrum and were interacting with the beautiful female host!

Host Li Tongfan is very familiar with her. She is none other than Elizabeth-Carerina, the leading actress of Spanish National Television's "I Have a Question for You"!

Fifteen minutes ago, Li Tongfan had already walked onto the podium with great grace and received the 2008 World's Best Coach trophy.

In fact, before it was announced, the Best Coach award had long been recognized by media from various countries as the least suspenseful award at this year's FIFA awards ceremony.

Because Crazy Lee still maintained an unparalleled pace of terrifying victories in the past year. This crazy guy not only took Newcastle in the relegation zone to fifth place in the league in 10 games, but also helped the England team in the 2008 European Cup. Winning the second major championship in the century-old history and becoming the new idol of the entire British Isles!

In contrast, Ferguson's Champions League championship and Terim's European Cup semi-finals can only stand aside. This time, the two seniors have completely become the embarrassing role of accompanying the prince to study!

The lights are dim.

Li Tongfan holds the trophy in his hand, waiting for the grand finale of this award ceremony - the announcement of the 2008 World Footballer!

As time goes by, the atmosphere in the opera house hall becomes more and more tense!

The broadcast camera kept focusing on the faces of David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo. Although they were both talking and laughing on the surface, everyone could see that they were nervous!

There is no doubt that tonight is the closest David Beckham gets to being named World Footballer, and it is also the last and only time in his career!

At his peak, Beckham finished second in both 1999 and 2001 selections. If he misses out on first place again this time, given his 'advanced' age of 33, Beckham will probably be ranked second in his lifetime. I have to say goodbye to this highest honor in the football world!

This will be a lifelong regret for Beckham!

In contrast, C-Ronaldo is still young and will have more opportunities in the future.

However, the young, arrogant and unruly Portuguese obviously hopes to defeat Beckham, the former No. 7 of the Red Devils, to make his first time even more perfect!

The music started, and the five candidates on the rostrum all entered and returned to the seats below. FIFA President Blatter and the awarding guest - "Ball King" Pele walked out from the backstage...

The World Player of the Year trophy held in Pele's hand shone with golden luster under the lights of the podium, immediately attracting the attention of countless people.
