Super Marshal

"Sorry, I'm back again!"

Wearing a crisp suit tailored by his own clothing store, Gao Han gently held the golden envelope containing the list of winners of the first FIFA Ballon d'Or with both hands. When he stepped onto the awards stage from behind the scenes, more than 150 countries around the world TV sets watching the live broadcast in and around the country were showing a close-up of him.

His suit and tie were tailor-made for him in his own store and accompanied him in front of all audiences.

All the guests at the scene were thoroughly amused by his opening remarks, and the whole room burst into laughter.

The second time he stepped onto the podium, Gao Han was no longer as cautious as before and appeared to be at ease. After all, he knew most of the people present, and he was the award guest, so it was his job to liven up the atmosphere.

So, when he walked to the microphone, he raised the golden envelope towards the guest seats, placed it gently on the podium, and patted it to indicate that everyone should chat first and not open it so quickly.

This immediately made the audience burst into laughter again.

"I remember, just now, I just got off the plane and came to the venue, rushing to attend the head coach's symposium. Many media reporters blocked me at the door and asked me, who do you think is Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo? More deserving of the award?”

"I was anxious at the time, how should I answer?"

Seeing Gao Han's helpless and innocent expression of being shot while lying down, the audience burst into laughter again.

This is indeed a very difficult question to answer. It is as difficult as the epic question of who to save first when my girlfriend and my mother fall into the water at the same time, because no matter how I answer it, Gao Han is not human.

"So, I was so anxious that I glared at them, snorted coldly, and walked in angrily."

These words immediately made the whole audience burst into laughter, followed by thunderous applause and cheers.

Too clever, isn't it?

"Actually, I have to say that this is indeed a very, very difficult question to answer. Both of them are the top superstars in today's football, with super strong personal abilities. I think it is difficult for anyone to be sure who is who. It’s even better because there’s never a concrete measure.”

Everyone present nodded tacitly, that was indeed the case.

"Messi is a super genius. When I first saw him, I was very sure that he would become the top superstar. I still clearly remember that I told him, I said, don't worry, Take your time, the world will be yours sooner or later."

Gao Han's words once again won applause from the audience.

The live TV camera also specially switched to Messi in the guest seat. The Argentine put his hands together and showed a very grateful expression to Gao Han. You can see the respect and love for Gao Han in his eyes at a glance.

"I say this today not to take credit, but to say that no matter who you are, you can see Messi's extraordinary talent at a glance. He is like a god from an alien planet. He is almost omnipotent. He can do anything. He was born to be the best and most outstanding football player, transcending all tactical rules on the football field."

Gao Han's words were very sincere, and deafening applause broke out again.

"Compared to my only one-year cooperation with Messi, I have cooperated with Cristiano Ronaldo for a longer time. I admired him very much when he was a little-known young player in Sporting Lisbon's youth academy. At that time, he He has an impressive kicking talent and amazing speed, but I want to say that he is an earthling."

Everyone present was surprised by Gao Han's words. Is he derogating Cristiano Ronaldo and exalting Messi?

When he heard Gao Han's words, Cristiano Ronaldo's face suddenly became unsightly.

"But in the eleven years I have been coaching, he is the most diligent and hard-working player I have ever seen. He was like this before he became famous. After he became famous, he became even more strict with himself. It is difficult for me to imagine a If a person is as diligent as he is, nothing in the world will be able to defeat him."

"He is a perfect football player. He brings the body and will of a man on earth to the extreme. Many people can't imagine that behind his continuous goals, he is constantly scoring goals day after day, year after year. Continuous training? Fans only care about his goals and his tidbits, but they have never noticed that in the basement of his home in Cheshire, there is a most professional gym, which he insists on even during holidays. Train yourself and stay in shape.”

The scene was filled with deafening applause again, no less than the one given to Messi before.

In front of the live TV camera, Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes were red and he was obviously moved.

He knew that he had misunderstood Gao Han just now.

"Tonight, I stand here to present this award. This has a very special meaning for me. I also want to say to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo that you are the best. I am extremely proud and proud of what you have accomplished today.”

"No matter who of you gets this award tonight, you all deserve it, and you are all well-deserved. And if you don't get it, there is no need to feel sorry or even sad about it, because in the decades of history of our professional football, You have all written your names and left your own glorious footprints."

"We miss Pele, we miss Maradona, we miss Ronaldo, we miss Zidane, not just because of their impressive achievements and honors in their football careers, but more importantly because of the legacy they left on the football field. A wonderful performance that has become the best memory for all fans.”

"Trust me, you do too!"

There was an unprecedented burst of warm applause at the scene, and everyone was obviously moved by Gao Han's words.

Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, who is better and who deserves to win the award has always been a controversial topic among the media, fans, and even within the football circle.

But now, Gao Han, who has coached two superstars at the same time, has given the answer.

That is, when they reach this level, there is no need to compete anymore, and there is no way to distinguish between them.

The only thing that can stop them, the only thing that can defeat them, is time.

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo could also feel Gao Han's love and affection for them, so even if everyone else sat down, they still stood.

Gao Han also understood what they meant, and directly opened the golden envelope on the table, took out the paper card, and announced the name on the paper card without any hesitation.

"Cristiano Ronaldo!"

The audience burst into a burst of warm applause.

The Portuguese was greatly surprised, but he immediately turned around, passed many guests, and walked to Messi's side.

Messi was also very generous, smiling and congratulating Cristiano Ronaldo, and the two hugged vigorously.

After the Portuguese thanked Messi, he accepted congratulations from guests, teammates and friends along the way, ran quickly to the podium, and hugged his mentor Gao Han.

On the big screen behind the podium, the final vote scores were also displayed at this time. The vote scores between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were very close, with only a difference of 0.2%, which shows how fierce the competition is. intense.

Messi has an advantage in the vote share of the national team coach and captain, but Cristiano Ronaldo leads in the media vote share. In the end, Cristiano Ronaldo is slightly ahead.

As for Barcelona's midfielder Iniesta, he lost a lot of competition and could only rank third.

After the Portuguese released Gao Han's hug, his eyes were already in tears. When he took the Golden Globe Award from Gao Han, he hugged Gao Han again with sobs and did not let go for a long time.

Everyone could see that this time he was truly moved.

After finally calming down, the Portuguese walked to the podium and placed the trophy on it like a treasure.

"Thank you very much to everyone who voted, thank you for your support and affirmation." His voice was obviously choked.

"This is the first time I have won the FIFA Ballon d'Or, but I believe it will not be the last. I will train harder, constantly improve myself, and strive to come here every year next year, the year after... Win the Ballon d’Or.”

When the Portuguese heard these words at the scene, they burst into applause again. What a man!

"This past year is a year that I will never forget. I came from Serie A to the unfamiliar Premier League. My teammates and I won all the championships we could win. It was a very wonderful moment. I would like to thank everyone Thanks to my teammates’ support and trust in me, I hope we can keep up our efforts and strive to win the Champions League this year!”

Cristiano Ronaldo's words once again received a burst of warm applause.

In fact, Manchester City is indeed the number one favorite in the Champions League this season.

"I want to thank my family, my mother and sister, my children, my friends, and Jorge Mendes, but I must especially thank my boss, the coach I respect the most, Mr. Gao Han."

When Cristiano Ronaldo said this, he turned around and pointed at Gao Han beside him.

"Tonight, here, I want to tell him in front of everyone in the world that you are the best head coach in the world!"

There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and after the Portuguese finished shouting this sentence, he turned around again, hugged Gao Han vigorously, and kept thanking Gao Han for his help and trust.

The live TV footage also keenly captured the close-up of the master and apprentice. Gao Han's eyes were obviously filled with tears, and he looked very moved and relieved.

And everyone in the audience gave them the warmest applause tonight.

Tonight's top prize was taken away by Cristiano Ronaldo, but in fact, Gao Han was the well-deserved biggest winner tonight. This was not only because he won the first Men's Football Coach of the Year Award, but also because he The two stars who were cultivated by one hand finally met in the final of the first Ballon d'Or Award.

Although Messi only played under Gao Han for one year, the Argentine superstar told everyone more than once that Gao Han had given him great help, including his choice to leave the Premier League and return to Barcelona that year, all because of Gao Han's advice. This has created his status as the world's top superstar today.

But Gao Han's outstanding works in the past ten years are obviously not only Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but also Cannavaro, Ronaldinho and Kaká, who are also world football players, not to mention players like Deco, The world's top superstars such as Torres, Villa, Lampard, Terry, Adriano, Aguero, Ribery, Robben and Neuer.

The current Manchester City team also has world-class superstars such as Benzema, Sanchez, David Silva, Modric, Xavi Martinez, Marcheslano and Cech.

It can be said that the past ten years in world football have been a glorious decade for Gao Han.

Sorry, I just got back because I had something to do today.
