Fox in the Penalty Area

"Well, it feels a bit like that."

Li Qingqing put the black tie on Hu Lai's shirt collar, then took a step back, looked at Hu Lai in formal clothes carefully, and nodded in praise.

"Is it too tight?" Hu Lai tried to turn his neck, "It's a little uncomfortable."

"Get used to it, get used to it." Li Qingqing said with a smile, "You have to get used to it, Hu Lai, such scenes will be inevitable in the future."

"It's hard to get used to it. I've never participated in award ceremonies before, but I feel uncomfortable every time. It feels like I'm wearing a straitjacket. If I move a little wider, I feel like the clothes will fall off the line..."

Li Qingqing rolled her eyes at Hu Lai: "Why are you like my dad?"

"Coach? Why am I like him?"

"He also doesn't like wearing formal clothes. One of his excuses is that it's inconvenient to move around."

Hu Lai laughed and said: "Heroes see the same thing!"

"My dad is not here, so you can say this in front of him."

"Wouldn't it make me look too flattering if I said it in front of him?"

"Hey……"

"But having said that, I have never seen a coach wearing a suit..."

"Yes, he feels uncomfortable wearing formal clothes. I suspect he doesn't go to the professional team for this reason, because going to the professional team always requires you to wear formal clothes, but it doesn't matter in school..." Li Qingqing complained to his father .

He is obviously quite handsome, but he insists on wearing rumpled and unkempt clothes.

Are you afraid of being spotted by those crazy bees and butterflies outside?

Li Qingqing looked at her boyfriend again, who was wearing a crisp custom-made suit, a white shirt and a black tie. Against his height of 1.8 meters, he looks very capable.

Not to mention, Hu Lai seems to be looking more handsome after tidying up like this.

She smiled with satisfaction.

"Stop looking and go change clothes quickly. You'll have to put on makeup first when you get there soon, so you don't have much time."

"As I said, you don't need to put on makeup..."

"Is that what I call makeup? What I do is put some powder on my face.

Go quickly, go quickly. "

At Hu Lai's urging, Li Qingqing entered the bathroom in the hotel room.

Not long after, the bathroom door opened, and she poked her head and half of her smooth shoulders out.

"Come out." Hu Lai hooked his hand at her.

"A little embarrassed..."

"What's so embarrassing about this? Let me see."

Li Qingqing had no choice but to hold up her skirt and walk out.

She was wearing a pearl-white suspender skirt with only two thin straps on her shoulders. She had a deep V slit on her chest and was so white that Hu Lai could hardly open her eyes.

So he waved his hand and said, "Turn around and let me look behind you."

Li Qingqing turned around obediently, and the slit at the back of her skirt became even wider, exposing her smooth back to Hu Lai's eyes.

His eyes widened when he saw it.

This heroic player on the court showed a rare sexy side.

Li Qingqing turned around and saw Hu Lai's pig-like look on his face, so he blushed slightly and said, "I'm just sorry..."

"What are you embarrassed about? How wonderful!" Hu Lai gave a thumbs up, "Hey, don't block it! This back... tsk tsk, it would be a pity not to cup it!"

Li Qingqing laughed angrily at Hu Lai's words: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Hu Lai stepped forward and handed his arm to Li Qingqing: "Let's go, let's go and amaze the world!"

Hearing Hu Lai say this, the shyness on Li Qingqing's face disappeared, replaced by a sweet and confident smile.

She reached out to hold Hu Lai's arm, then picked up her small handbag, and went out with Hu Lai.

The 2027 FIFA Awards Ceremony was held in Milan, Italy, where football legends and current stars from all over the world gathered together.

Like the UEFA Ballon d'Or Award Ceremony in the middle of the year, it is a grand event in world football.

UEFA's awards ceremony is a summary of the previous season.

FIFA's annual awards honor the past year.

Various awards will be presented at the ceremony, including but not limited to best female goalkeeper, best male goalkeeper, best goal, best female coach, best male coach, fair play award, best eleven, best goal The best female player (Miss World Footballer), and the best male player (World Footballer of the Year).

Unlike UEFA's selection mechanism, which relies on votes from major authoritative sports media in Europe, FIFA's awards are determined through multi-party voting.

They also have authoritative media votes, but they are not limited to Europe, but media around the world. Each continent will have several authoritative media voting on behalf of that continent.

In addition, all national team captains and coaches of their FIFA member states also have voting rights.

Some awards even have online voting, which is voted for by fans. For example, the Goal of the Year award mainly depends on the number of votes from fans.

Because fans, as well as national team captains and head coaches vote, FIFA's awards have always been considered more entertaining and less professional than UEFA's awards.

This is evident from the fact that FIFA's award ceremonies are always interspersed with various theatrical performances.

※※※

Not all players will attend the FIFA awards ceremony, only those who are on the shortlist and have the opportunity to go on stage will attend.

And those players who have the opportunity to win the award will also bring their families with them to share their glorious moments.

Li Qingqing did not attend the award ceremony as a member of Hu Lai's family, although she and Hu Lai sat next to each other at the award ceremony.

With her outstanding performance in this year's Women's World Cup, Li Qingqing was selected into the ten-person candidate list for this year's Miss World Football.

This isn't the first time she's been named to the top ten, but this year may be her best year yet.

Because in this year's World Cup, she performed well and led the host Chinese team to third place. She herself also won the Silver Boot at this World Cup.

In addition, he moved to the Madrid Kings Women's Football Team, a giant in women's football, and performed well in the Spanish Women's Super League, which also gave Li Qingqing a lot of points.

Hu Lai participated in the FIFA awards ceremony for the first time last year. Although he won the Premier League championship, the Premier League Golden Boot and the World Golden Boot, he was not included in the ten-man candidate list, and he was not eligible for other awards.

Although his first goal in the World Cup was the best goal of the World Cup, in the entire world of football, he failed to win the best goal of the year. The best goal of the year that year belonged to Mellie Banega. In a Copa del Rey match, he started dribbling from the backcourt, passed seven opponents players, ran for almost 70 meters, and finally put the football Send it to the goal.

Not only is the distance of dribbling the ball long, but there are also many people passing by.

And Mellie Banega is also more famous.

In the end, they narrowly defeated Hulay and won the best goal of the year.

FIFA's Best Goal of the Year selection includes goals in all competitions recognized by FIFA, which greatly enhances the chance of a dark horse appearing.

It is often seen that some little-known players score a wonderful goal in an unknown game, and then go on to become the winner of the best goal of the year.

This award is very entertaining.

Grassroots players should not expect to rely on this award to reach the top and achieve a turning point in their lives.

After all, this award only selects whether a ball looks good or not, and has nothing to do with a player's strength.

But this year, there is no suspense about the best goal award of the year, it belongs to Hu Lai.

His upside-down golden hook 34.2 meters away from the goal in the first Champions League group match this season was voted the best goal of the year in the votes of fans around the world.

Whether in terms of viewing or rarity, this goal is well deserved to be the best of the year.

But Hu Lai didn't come to the awards ceremony just because of this award.

He was also selected into the best eleven team of the year, playing in the center of the front three in a 4-3-3 formation.

It would be ridiculous for a forward who scored 75 goals throughout the year not to be selected for the best team.

In addition to being selected for the best team of the year, Hulay has also entered the ten-man candidate list for the World Footballer.

But his chances of winning this award are slim.

It can also be seen from the odds offered by various bookmakers that he is not favored.

After all, as a player from a non-football-strong area, he not only has to perform impeccably, but also has to be famous enough to win the World Footballer.

This honor is selected through voting by world media and the head coaches and captains of each national team. This selection method means that the players' popularity and influence are very demanding.

Many captains and head coaches in underdeveloped football countries may not know as much about world football as a Chinese fan.

How do they know who should win World Footballer of the Year?

Of course, whoever is more famous wins the election.

If they had only known Celius Caesar, they would have voted for Caesar first.

This is a great advantage for players who have been famous for a long time.

Although the era of the "Four Kings" has gradually passed, in recent years, the names of the "Four Kings" have often appeared in the World Footballer selection, and their rankings are still not low.

For example, Selius Caesar has been selected for the final ten candidates for thirteen consecutive years. Regardless of how he performed that year...

There is such a reason in it.

As a rookie who lacks foundation and glorious history, Hu Lai suffers greatly under this selection mechanism.

Even if there is media voting as a supplement, it will be difficult to overturn.

It is impossible to become the World Footballer by scoring 75 goals a year.

Unless he can maintain this state for five or six consecutive years, he might still have a chance.

Or... if you can lead the Chinese team to win the World Cup, you may also become the World Footballer.

But in terms of difficulty, maintaining this state for five or six consecutive years may be lower...
