Star Card System

The result of the Champions League round of 16 has been settled.

There are many gimmicks.

Especially the grouping of the two giants in La Liga, which is definitely an eye-catching event in the quarter-finals.

Paris and Manchester United will be in a fierce battle.

After the game, Paris coach Emery seemed a little unhappy when facing the reporters' questions.

"No matter who we draw, we will do our best to deal with it. What's there to say? What else are you asking? Do you have to let me express some dissatisfaction to facilitate your writing?"

After these words came out, the reporters were satisfied.

This anxious mood can already explain a lot of problems.

For Mourinho, he really doesn't care.

Facing the reporters' siege, Mourinho looked indifferent.

"Whether it's playing Barcelona or anyone else, it's the same for me. Although I have beaten Barcelona many times before, I still think they are a strong team. Just treat this game as the Champions League semi-final or final started in advance."

Mourinho said this easily.

In fact, he is under a lot of pressure.

If you want to win the Champions League, luck must play a big role.

After all, with a tight schedule, he not only wants the Champions League, but also the league and even the cup.

This requires him to fully tap the team's overall combat power and avoid injuries.

The strength of the cup opponents is also a factor of luck.

Obviously, Manchester United is not very lucky this time.

But there is nothing to be done.

Mourinho said that it doesn't matter, just to relieve the pressure on the players.

Even if it is despised strategically, it must be taken seriously tactically.

Now Mourinho has begun to arrange the coaching staff to prepare information for Barcelona's recent games in advance.

Before that, it is also important to stabilize the league ranking.

Only in this way can there be no worries when facing Barcelona.

But before the next Premier League, Mourinho has one more thing to do.

FIFA Golden Globe Awards Ceremony!

A grand awards ceremony was held again at the Palladium Theatre in London.

On the stage, today we will select the best football player in the world in 2017.

The attention of all.

Mourinho, who just participated in the Champions League quarter-finals group two days ago, came here again.

Mourinho feels very busy recently.

And this award ceremony is also related to him.

Or it is related to Manchester United.

When interviewed by reporters before the game, Mourinho said bluntly: "Of course I am optimistic that Xia will be elected! He is the winner of the Ballon d'Or in my heart!"

Although Mourinho's words have some meaning of protecting his son, they are not without reason.

Last season, Manchester United won the four-crown honor, and Xia Xing was the absolute core of the team.

And with the Europa League Golden Boot, Premier League Golden Boot, and countless honors, it is understandable that he won the Ballon d'Or.

Unfortunately, Xia Xing's voice is not high.

The top five candidates for the Ballon d'Or are finally determined to be Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Xia Xing, Neymar and Buffon.

These five stars are all top-level.

Buffon is as stable as ever, Neymar still has the aura of Brazil's top star, and Ronaldo and Messi are the representatives of the times.

Xia Xing has the buff bonus of Asians, which won some votes; he also won the respect of countless people with his outstanding performance.

But even with all the honors, he still lacks a little.

When entering the venue, a reporter asked Xia Xing about his prediction of the result, and Xia Xing smiled and answered.

"No matter who is elected, it is well deserved, and I will send my blessings."

Be polite and do not comment.

After entering the venue, Xia Xing wanted to sit next to Mourinho, but the organizer led him to the front row.

Interestingly, his seat was arranged between Ronaldo and Messi.

Looking at the two big guys, Xia Xing found it very interesting.

Even though he had won an award last year, Xia Xing still felt incredible at this moment.

Competing with the two prides for the Golden Ball is really like a dream.

Xia Xing sat down, and Messi and Ronaldo looked at him.

At this moment, Xia Xing suddenly didn't know how to greet the two of them...

He now understood the business rules that Mendes taught him.

But soon, he didn't need to think about this problem.

Messi stood up first and patted his shoulder: "Xia, hello. I saw an old friend. I went over to say hello first and came to talk to you later."

After that, Messi left the table. Anyway, it was still early before the award ceremony.

Xia Xing suddenly had a guess.

Did Messi leave first because he was worried that he would be embarrassed?

What a considerate person.

"Xia, long time no see."

"Chris, long time no see."

Both of them are Mendes' agents, so they have always had a good relationship in private.

Even if they are opponents, even if they are not in the same country, it does not affect their friendship.

This is also the mutual appreciation between geniuses.

"It's really interesting that I was on the same list as you for the Ballon d'Or last year."

"Yes, this has never happened since the establishment of the Ballon d'Or."

"Do you think it will happen this year?"

"Definitely not."

"Why?"

"Because you deserve the Ballon d'Or."

"Oh?"

C Ronaldo didn't expect Xia Xing to say this, and he was stunned for a moment.

With his personality, he would definitely not say this to his competitors.

But Xia Xing was very calm: "I only performed well in the Europa League last season, but you were invincible in the Champions League, and our league performance and number of goals were comparable. And you have more exposure in Real Madrid, and you have more support. Considering all aspects, you deserve this year's Ballon d'Or."

Hearing Xia Xing's analysis, Ronaldo agreed in his heart, but was also a little surprised: "I heard Mendes tell me that you are a proud and persistent person. I thought you would insist on the Ballon d'Or."

Xia Xing smiled, he looked at Ronaldo, and spoke seriously.

"Yes, I am a proud and persistent person. I will insist on the Ballon d'Or. That's right.

"But I just persisted in working hard for the Ballon d'Or, and tried my best in the previous games.

"I have done the best I can, that's good, this is my persistence.

"Chris, I am very similar to you, because we are both eager for victory.

"But I am a little different from you, that is, I am not too demanding on the results.

"This may be something that Chinese culture brings me.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate. This is a wise saying I have believed in since I was a child.

"I tried my best, but I don't have the Champions League stage, so I will definitely be at a disadvantage in the awards. I know it very well.

"Just like last year, I also knew that I didn't have the national team stage. If you surpass me because of the European Cup championship, I will accept it.

"As long as I try my best, it's fine.

"And I'm convinced even if I lose to you, or you guys.

"After all, it's still the shining "Double Pride Era".

"Isn't it?" (End of this chapter)
