I am Quaresma

Chapter 432 FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony

The public opinion was not detonated for no reason. It was really the Club World Cup final that shocked the fans too much.

The Toyota Cup has a long history and a very good reputation. It is an important way for South American football and European football to communicate and compete.

In the historical results of the Toyota Cup, neither the European teams nor the South American teams were able to achieve one-sided results. The equal strength naturally made the confrontation extremely exciting. The championship honor of the Toyota Cup is also a very important honor.

However, with the rapid development of the marketization of football, the developed economic conditions in Europe have made the strength of the top European clubs improve by leaps and bounds. At the same time, South American players also regard logging in Europe as the only way for professional development. This has led to an uneven development of European football and South American football at the club level.

In other words, there is gradually a gap in strength between South American clubs and European clubs.

Against this historical background, even the Toyota Cup may gradually lose its confrontation and influence.

But FIFA patted their ass and made an ugly decision-annexed the Toyota Cup and merged it with the original Club World Cup into one event.

Their wishful thinking was very loud, but in fact they were completely destroying this historic event.

Take a look at the just-concluded Club World Cup final!

The Copa Libertadores champion Internazionale Brazil had no ability to resist against the European champions Arsenal, and was slaughtered inhumanely and bloodily. To score such a score, it is not so easy even in their respective leagues.

Even so, the bloody Brazil International is still much stronger than other participating teams in the Club World Cup.

So, what's the point of holding such a Club World Cup?

It is true that the participation of champions from other continents will make those fans happy, but for this it requires European teams to make huge sacrifices, and at the same time, the game is not enjoyable at all.

"Arsenal will face the devil's schedule after returning to the Premier League. They really paid a big price for the Club World Cup!"

"Brazil International was beaten like a dog, let alone other teams. How could FIFA have the nerve to hold such a game?"

"Just cancel the Club World Cup, or let FIFA play on its own, and the European champions will not accompany you!"

"If Arsenal lose the Premier League title because of this,

FIFA will give compensation? "

"FIFA is a fucking piece of shit!"

 …

After the big discussion, some watching fans couldn't help scolding FIFA.

FIFA has already been overwhelmed by public opinion. They never imagined that a good Club World Cup would be kicked like this.

Had they known, they would have let the referee control the game.

The last Club World Cup was very good. Liverpool lost to Sao Paulo from Brazil. This shows that European football is not significantly ahead of South American football. The confrontation between the two continents will still be very exciting, plus the champions of other continents Spoiler, this is completely the World Cup at the club level!

However, they would never have imagined that after one season, everything would change!

Arsenal is too unreasonable, let's not talk about winning the game in Mexico and America. After all, Arsenal is only a second-tier lineup, but in the final against Brazil International, they actually washed Brazil International like a thug. Let's not talk about Brazil International. Do you want to save face, where should you put FIFA's face now?

If they had known this, they would have warned Arsenal in advance and told them to restrain themselves properly!

well!

It's also because Brazil International didn't live up to it, and they didn't have any strength to fight back in front of Arsenal. It was so embarrassing!

In desperation, before Arsenal's plane back to London landed, FIFA had to hold a press conference to make some necessary clarifications on public opinion.

"The Club World Cup is a brand-new event. We hope that one day it will become the World Cup at the club level. We also hope that more teams will participate in scoring goals and give fans around the world the most wonderful visual feast!"

"As for the large-scale victory in the final of this Club World Cup, I can only say that the strength of Arsenal in this team is too good, but it cannot deny the efforts of Brazil International!"

"In any case, we will continue to host the Club World Cup and hope that fans all over the world will pay more attention to the Club World Cup!"

 …

After talking for a long time, there was actually only one sentence!

It's not that South American football is bad, it's just that Arsenal are too strong!

This is an example!

Regarding FIFA's explanation, the fans are already unable to complain. Although there is some truth in it, after all, Arsenal's strength is recognized, but more essentially, the Club World Cup is not friendly to European teams at all. The issue of sex is avoided by FIFA.

"If FIFA rewards the champions of the Champions League with all the income from the Club World Cup, then it is barely reasonable for the champions of the Champions League to participate!"

"Don't think about it, FIFA can still give up the fat it got?"

"What a fucking FIFA!"

 …

After the FIFA press conference, the public opinion has subsided for a while. Although there are still many people who are habitually scolding FIFA, more people turn their attention to other places—who has so much free time every day? To scold FIFA...

At this time, after arriving in London with his teammates, Quaresma did not leave the airport at all, but directly transferred to Switzerland.

He's going to FIFA's annual awards ceremony!

Although he complained about FIFA for a while because of the tasteless Club World Cup, he still thinks that the World Footballer is quite popular.

Don't look at the public opinion about the prediction of the final winner before the selection of the European Golden Globe Awards, it was really lively for a while.

But with Quaresma winning the European Ballon d'Or with a huge advantage, there is almost no suspense about the next World Footballer of the Year.

If Quaresma loses the title of World Footballer with such a big advantage in the European Ballon d'Or selection, it can only show that FIFA is playing shady scenes, and it is still a well-known shady scene.

FIFA is not stupid enough to risk the disgrace of the world to engage in dirty tricks. If Quaresma has a small advantage, then any result may happen, but Quaresma has such a big advantage, even if they want to do tricks, they will not be fooled. dare.

Therefore, Quaresma appeared in Switzerland this time with only one purpose, that is to participate in the awards ceremony, and then bring the World Footballer trophy back to London, it's that simple.

Regardless of Zidane, Cannavaro, Henry, Ronaldinho, etc. who compete with him, they are all top football stars in the world, but under the dazzling light of Quaresma, there are only their diehard fans Only then will I believe that my idol can win the World Footballer. Normal fans will never have such an idea.

Even the gaming groups are unusually cautious about this selection. The odds for Quaresma to win the World Player of the Year are outrageously low, while the odds for the other competitors are horrifying. Someone buys them to beat Quaresma to win, and it turns out, then this is definitely an opportunity to get rich overnight.

So this time, compared to the selection of the European Golden Globe Awards, Quaresma is much more indifferent, as if he has seen through a lot of things, and even the iconic cynical smile seems to have something that makes people feel refreshed.

After checking into the hotel where they stayed, the paparazzi seemed to have smelled fishy sharks, and swarmed in the hotel lobby. As soon as Quaresma appeared, they would immediately turn on the microphone, regardless of Quaresma’s teeth. Can you bear it?

But Quaresma is really not in the mood to deal with the reporters now, and no one provokes him. Who is he going to blame?

If someone stands up at this time to refute that Quaresma is not worthy of being the World Footballer, then Quaresma must not mind spraying him with doubts about life.

But now Quaresma's award is simply the general trend. Even if someone slanders him, he will not say it in person. It is simply making himself uncomfortable.

Therefore, Quaresma really enjoyed a quiet life in the hotel. Although he spent the afternoon in the hotel gym, he still felt very comfortable... because there were no such teasers around him. .....

In the evening, Quaresma dressed up and put on formal clothes that he would never wear at ordinary times. Guided by the FIFA staff, he came to the Zurich Opera House, which is the venue for the awards ceremony.

The annual awards ceremony can be regarded as the highlight of FIFA's year, and the degree of attention can far exceed the tasteless Club World Cup.

The scene was already full of guests and guests, and as far as the eye could see, there were a lot of big shots who could shake the world football with a single movement. They chatted and laughed happily with each other, and maybe a word of a glass of wine could decide the fate of a player.

Quaresma doesn't feel any pressure. At his level, it's not easy to embarrass himself.

Not to mention that when your investment produces a huge return, you will become a super rich man of a higher level than them, and then they will be under pressure in front of you.

The chairman of the Arsenal club and Wenger came to the scene together, just like the European Golden Globe Awards ceremony. The World Footballer is not only the supreme honor of Quaresma, but also for Arsenal.

As a candidate for the World Footballer of the Year, Quaresma did not sit with them, but sat in the front row so that he could come on stage to receive the award later.

When he came to his own seat, Quaresma found that there were already people sitting on the seats on both sides. On the left was Zidane who had no hair on his head, and on the right was a smiling Cannavaro. The two praised each other at the same time. Rethma smiled back.

Naturally, Quaresma will not reject people thousands of miles away, and these two players are indeed players he likes very much, and they will definitely not face each other coldly, even if they are competitors now.

That's right, Zidane and Cannavaro are the other two candidates for the World Player of the Year, but Henry failed to enter the top three.

Zidane and Cannavaro also know that this time they are just studying with the prince. With Quaresma's performance, it is impossible to lose the trophy.

If they weren't worried about offending FIFA, they wouldn't have come to run with them!

"Your performance is really getting better and better. I think that in the next few years, no one can surpass you!"

Zidane smiled and praised Quaresma.

Cannavaro also nodded beside him, deeply appreciative.

In the World Cup, they all played against Quaresma. Naturally, they have the deepest impression on Quaresma's powerful dominance. At least no one in the entire world football has been able to break Quaresma's dominance.

Maybe Ronaldinho at his peak could compete with Quaresma, but who would have thought that the Brazilian elf suddenly fell like a meteor, and his condition went from bad to worse, which is really regrettable.

If Ronaldinho can maintain his form and turn the world football into a battle between Ronaldinho and Quaresma, it will undoubtedly be much more exciting.

Among other new-generation stars, both Kaka and Ronaldinho are far behind Quaresma, and it is unlikely to shake Quaresma's status in a short time.

Naturally, Quaresma would not be moved by such low-tech compliments. The praise group has long been overcrowded, and he has long been used to it.

"Actually, I think so too!" Quaresma laughed out loud, seemingly arrogant, but with unrivaled confidence.

Zidane and Cannavaro looked at each other the same way. They knew very well that Quaresma's momentum had already become, and unless there was another peerless figure, no one would be able to break Quaresma's rule.

After the three sat down, they chatted about interesting things in football. Although Zidane has retired and Cannavaro is at the end of his career, the experience of the two can actually give Quaresma some inspiration , After all, Quaresma still has a lot of room for improvement.

"Oh, by the way, Ricardo, do you have any ideas about joining Real Madrid?" Suddenly, Cannavaro changed his subject and asked Quaresma with a smile.

Quaresma was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Cannavaro might also be on a mission with Calderon.

It has not been a day or two since Real Madrid had thoughts about themselves, but no matter what devious tactics Florentino before and Calderon used now, Quaresma never agreed.

Chairman Calderon's position is unstable, and he definitely hopes to bring himself to the Bernabeu Stadium to stabilize his position, so he has spared no effort in his strategy.

A man tries to convince Quaresma that Quaresma will not respond;

The two tried to convince Quaresma that Quaresma would not respond;

But when everyone around him tried to persuade Quaresma, Quaresma would not respond?

I'm afraid Calderon is holding such an attitude now, and he believes that Quaresma will be persuaded.

Although Zidane on the other side is not a direct descendant of Calderon, he also hopes that Real Madrid's performance will be better, so he is also looking at Quaresma with anticipation, waiting for Quaresma's answer.

Quaresma smiled slightly, he was really annoyed by this question.

He prefers to play football quietly instead of thinking about which team to transfer to all day long.

As long as Arsenal doesn't do things that are sorry for me, why should I leave?

Even a weekly salary of tens of thousands of pounds is not attractive to him at all.

As for the honor, he can get it at Arsenal, why go to other clubs!

Quaresma's smile made Cannavaro understand what he meant, and the Italian defender also laughed at himself to ease his embarrassment.

At this moment, the sound of music suddenly sounded in the hall, and Gullit, one of the Dutch Three Musketeers, and Atalie, the famous hostess of the show, walked onto the stage together, and the award ceremony was about to officially begin!

"Atalie is still pretty, isn't she?"

Cannavaro said with a smile, but his eyes were always fixed on the beautiful host on the stage.

Quaresma nodded, regardless of whether Cannavaro is a pig brother or not, he is indeed right, Atalie is quite beautiful.

On the stage, Gullit and Atali, as the hosts, were already speaking the opening remarks, introducing the guests, and the big screen was constantly showing the shots of the guests. At this time, Quaresma realized that many superstars really came to participate.

Ronaldo, Crespo, Pirlo, Klose, Matthaus, etc., although the awards have nothing to do with them, their appearance at the award ceremony will still attract a lot of topics.

"It seems that I am the most pitiful. Zinedine, you have won the World Footballer of the Year three times. Ricardo, you will also be on the stage to receive the award. Only I have nothing!"

Cannavaro said pretending to be resentful, and the sour tone made Quaresma a little unbearable.

He never knew that Cannavaro had the potential to be talkative.

Such a grand awards ceremony, and sitting in the front row, why don't you just sit quietly for a while?

Muttering, don't you feel embarrassed to be photographed by the camera?

But Cannavaro was right. Of the three present, he was indeed the most embarrassing.

Zidane has won the World Footballer of the Year three times, and sitting here now feels like he is enjoying the final glory. Even if he can't win the World Footballer of the Year trophy, it doesn't hurt.

But Cannavaro's status in world football is a bit far from Zidane's.

Even though he is a top-notch central defender, apart from his own fans, who would pay attention to the performance of a defender?

Now that Quaresma is destined to win the prize, and his last hope is gone, he can only look at Quaresma enviously.

Quaresma didn't need to comfort Cannavaro, because Cannavaro was just pretending to be resentful, and in fact he didn't know how to have fun secretly.

As a defender, being able to enter the top three candidates for the World Footballer of the Year is something to be proud of, isn't it?

After the two hosts on the stage gave their opening remarks, something that left Quaresma stunned happened. An opera began to be performed on the stage...

This award ceremony is the 16th award ceremony of FIFA, and today is also the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth, so the theme of the award ceremony is set as "When Football Meets Mozart".

Quaresma thought it was a gimmick created by FIFA, but who would have thought that they would really stage an opera at the awards ceremony!

I came to the award ceremony, but I can still watch the opera for free?

Quaresma has been unable to complain!

This is so clearly irrelevant, and they can still get together. Is this a strong act by FIFA to give football a little more elegance?

He didn't think Mozart would like to play football...

On the stage, "Yeah Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" was singing, Quaresma was about to fall asleep, anyway, he didn't have that artistic bacteria!

Perhaps Meirelles might be very interested in what he said here. After all, art is the same. Maybe Meirelles can get a little inspiration for creating rap from operas!

After finally waiting for the opera to finish, Quaresma no longer knew how long his mind had wandered, and his spirit was in a trance.

Suddenly, he realized one of his weaknesses. If the opponent plays an opera for him before the game, his state will definitely be affected, and if he does not perform well on the court, the opponent may win the game.

I couldn't help laughing, so many super famous coaches were thinking hard about how to defend themselves, but I accidentally discovered it today.

It seems that in the future, I have to stay away from such elegant things as opera.

In contrast, he thinks it's more interesting to have a party that the animals never forget!

After the opera ended, it finally came to the topic of awarding, and the first thing to be awarded was naturally a series of awards related to the World Cup in Germany that had been announced.

Quaresma took the stage with Klose and Crespo and received the World Cup Golden Boot, Silver Boot and Bronze Boot.

The Golden Boot is an honor that Quaresma has already obtained, but the trophy was not taken away until this time, which really made Quaresma look forward to it for a long time.

The Yashin Award for the best goalkeeper is naturally in Buffon's pocket, and no one can take it away.

Afterwards, the Fair Play Award was awarded. Surprisingly, this time it was a double-yolk egg, with Brazil and Spain winning at the same time.

Ronaldo took the stage to accept the award on behalf of the Brazilian Football Association. Spanish head coach Aragones and captain Raul also took the stage to represent Spain. In fact, this award can only be regarded as a consolation prize that is better than nothing.

Don't look at Portugal winning the World Cup, but just for the match against the Netherlands, they have no chance to win the fair play award!

Next, Quaresma also won the World Cup Golden Globe, which he also booked early.

The awards were interspersed with opera, which always made Quaresma's excitement hard to maintain, but when the best team of the year and the most improved awards were presented, Quaresma still came to the excitement.

Because of winning the World Cup, in the past year, Portugal's points have surged. Before and after the World Cup, because FIFA revised the calculation method of rankings, Portugal, whose points soared, has become the world's number one national team.

Therefore, the best team of the year became the possession of Portugal, and also won the most improved award because of its amazing improvement.

In the applause of the audience, the head coach of the Portuguese national team and captain Figo took the stage to receive the award together. This is a glorious moment for Portugal and for them.

Just now Quaresma has been feeling sorry for Figo, but now, seeing Figo on stage to accept the award, he also smiled in relief.
