Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 302 Entering the mainstream stage

"I also want to say something specifically to my boyfriend..."

Before this sentence, Li Qingqing had always spoken in English, but she suddenly cut it into Mandarin.

Li Ziqiang, who stayed up all night to watch the live broadcast of the awards ceremony, felt his heart skip a beat. Sure enough, he saw his daughter Qiao Xiaoyan and said:

"Come on, Hu Lai, I'll wait for you here!"

Because she spoke Mandarin, the reaction on the scene was relatively calm, because everyone didn't understand what she said.

But He Feng, the CCTV host who was broadcasting the live broadcast, laughed loudly: "Well said, Li Qingqing! I should encourage my boyfriend to keep up with your pace!"

Listening to the host's laughter, Li Ziqiang sighed helplessly.

Then he got up and turned off the TV.

Now that he has seen his daughter win the Golden Globe, there is no need for him to stay up all night. As for the next announcement of the men's soccer Ballon d'Or, he has no interest at all.

When Li Ziqiang turned off the TV and went to sleep, Xie Lan and Hu Lixin next door were still guarding in front of the TV.

"Qingqing is really good! I also hope to see our son standing on it with a golden ball in his hand in the future!"

Xie Lan really likes her daughter-in-law no matter what she looks at now, how wonderful what she said just now!

It is not only comfort to the son, but also encouragement to him.

Where can I find such a considerate daughter-in-law?

Hi! Why are they still not married? !

Xie Lan, who was angry in her heart, picked up her mobile phone and planned to go online to see how talented netizens commented on what Li Qingqing said to Hu Lai.

Because it was spoken in Mandarin, the response at the scene was mediocre, but Xie Lan knew that the Internet in China at this time, even in the early hours of the morning, must be very lively.

Sure enough, as soon as she went online, she was overwhelmed by the "wailing" and "screaming".

The attention of Chinese fans is on Li Qingqing's "confession" to Hu Lai—yes, they call that "confession".

"It is recommended to send sugar in public to be punished!"

I stayed up all night to watch the live broadcast of the awards, but I didn't expect to be able to eat dog food like this...

"It is everyone's responsibility to care for single dogs!"

"Oh, since the two of them made their relationship public, they have become more and more presumptuous!"

"Please get them married!"

Xie Lan happily gave a thumbs up to this sentence.

Then I heard her husband ask her: "Aren't you going to watch the next awards ceremony?"

Xie Lan pouted: "What's so interesting? You won't win the Golden Globe anyway."

"But it's possible to win the Bronze Ball."

"Isn't that the same as winning a bronze medal in the Olympics?"

Hu Lixin was speechless, but he still explained patiently: "If he can win the Bronze Ball Award, it will be great for him. After all, he is in the top three. Your son only entered the list of ten candidates last year. Don't you Are you happy with every improvement he makes?"

Xie Lan gave her husband a white look: "You are the only one who can say it!"

But she honestly put down her phone and continued to watch the live broadcast.

After the commercial, we returned to the awards ceremony.

There is one final grand prize left - the Men's Golden Globe.

It is already a certainty that Meli will win the Golden Globe Award, and Hu Lai can compete for the Bronze Globe Award. As for the Silver Ball Award, it is almost certain that it belongs to the center Mark Becker of Blue and White Munich. In terms of team honors, Becker won the Bundesliga and German Cup last season. Boots and European Golden Boots, this result is indeed more convincing than Hu Lai.

Although Hu Lai has an Olympic gold medal, but in the selection of the European Golden Globe Awards,

Olympic gold medals basically mean nothing.

At the level of the Bronze Ball Award, Hu Lai also has a contender, that is Kabangka from Manchester Athletic and now in the Catalan United.

Hu Lai's achievements were last season's La Liga champion and the La Liga Golden Boot.

Kabanka is the Premier League champion and FA Cup champion last season, as well as the best player in the Premier League.

In addition, last season's Golden Globe winner, Blue and White Munich's midfielder Soren Gribusch, is the Bundesliga champion and German Cup champion.

They are all capable of competing with Hu Lai for the Bronze Ball Award.

It's just that when the awards are presented, only the Golden Globe winners are announced. As for who will get the Bronze Ball and Silver Ball, it is not announced directly, but the names of the players will be read, and the corresponding trophies will be awarded after they come on stage.

Without any suspense, the host directly pronounced Melibanega's name.

"Congratulations Meli, for the European Ballon d'Or 2028!"

CCTV host He Feng then raised his voice to express his congratulations to Meli.

Xie Lan in front of the TV pouted and rolled his eyes. She didn't want to congratulate her son's competitor.

Amidst the warm applause, Meli got up and walked onto the podium with a smile on his face. At the same time, highlights of his outstanding performance last season were shown on the big screen.

After the highlights were played, the screen cut back to the scene, and the host read out the names of the next two players.

Together with Meli, these two players are the top three in this year's Ballon d'Or.

But as for who is the silver ball and who is the copper ball, you can only know who is on stage and watching the big screen.

"Mark Becker!"

The host first read out the name of the German striker.

With the same warm applause, Becker got up, fastened the buttons on his suit, and walked onto the stage.

Highlights of his performances are shown on the big screen.

"Oh." Xie Lan was a little nervous, "There are already two forwards. Will the judges not choose the third forward for balance?"

This time Hu Lixin didn't answer her, because he didn't know it himself.

He was equally nervous.

Although his son is doomed to miss the Ballon d'Or, he still hopes to be in the top three. At least this shows that his son's performance in the past season was able to rank among the top three in Europe.

This is a remarkable improvement for Hu Lai.

You must know that at this time last year, Hu Lai only entered the final list of ten candidates, and did not advance to the top three.

So he still hopes that Hu Lai can enter the top three.

Because this will be an encouragement to my son.

When Becker's highlights finished playing, the screen cut back to the scene, and the host was holding a microphone with a professional smile on his face, ready to announce the third candidate.

He didn't try to make a fuss, but read it very simply:

"Lehu!"

Both Xie Lan and Hu Lixin were stunned for a moment, and they didn't immediately realize that they were calling their son, because the strange pronunciation made them not think of their own son.

It was the TV camera that reminded them—a camera quickly cut to Hu Lai, and the team coach Parotti next to him patted him on the shoulder, and then raised his hand to signal a high five.

The two of them finally came back to their senses.

Their son is the top three Golden Globes!

On the TV, the host He Feng was also shouting excitedly: "Although it is not the Golden Globe Award, the top three is still a great achievement! Hu Lai not only created the record for Chinese players, but also created the record for Asian players. A record—he is the highest-ranked Asian player in the Ballon d'Or selection!"

Before Hu Lai, this honor belonged to South Korean star Park Sun-tae, who once ranked seventh in the Golden Globe Awards.

That is already the pinnacle of all Asian players.

But now Hu Lai has raised the height of this peak to the top three.

It is conceivable that for a long time, no other Asian player can reach this height.

Amid the applause, Hu Lai walked onto the stage and stood next to Becker.

So far, the top three Golden Globes have all been released.

Except for Meli, the other two didn't know the quality of their trophy.

But in fact, there is not much suspense.

Becker is likely to win the Silver Globe Award, and Hu Lai will be the Bronze Globe Award—the same as the predictions and expectations of the Chinese media before the game.

In the end, the information displayed on the big screen was similar to what everyone predicted:

Mark Baker Silver Ball, Holly Bronze Ball.

When Hou Lai was holding the Bronze Globe, he turned his head and saw Meli staring at the Golden Globe in his own hand. That affectionate look seemed to be holding not the Golden Globe, but his girlfriend...

The golden football trophies are indeed very eye-catching, and people can't take their eyes off just by looking at them.

However, Hu Lai quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at the audience at the same time.

He noticed that Li Qingqing was giving him a thumbs up.

This is both comforting him and encouraging him.

So Hu Lai also grinned, reassuring Li Qingqing.

A year ago, he could only look up at the three people on the stage to show everyone their trophy, but a year later he is already one of the three people on the stage. One day, he will really lift the golden football.

And that day won't be too long.

Hu Lai, who just won the Olympic gold medal, has such confidence.

After Meli finished his acceptance speech, the host called the three of them to stand together, holding their trophy in their hands, and took a group photo.

Although Hou Lai is no stranger to attending the UEFA awards ceremony and is a regular visitor, this photo is still very memorable.

Because this photo means that Hu Lai has really entered the mainstream stage of world football for the first time—he has become the protagonist of this grand ceremony for the first time, even if it is the third protagonist...
