After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 1745 - 472: Messi: Living in Kevin’s Shadow
But its origin lies in the plantations, the clash between black and white cultures.
Cullen performed a piece from a movie soundtrack, but Huang Kaiwen couldn’t hear clearly what he said.
The entire venue was quietly appreciating it.
The lively rhythm blended exceptionally well with Cullen’s slightly deep voice.
Ramos closed his eyes, gently swaying his head to the melody, clearly lost in it.
Huang Kaiwen thought about it carefully, among these friends, Ramos truly had the most musical talent.
Among the players who weren’t too closely linked, Rooney was quite good in this regard; he could even play and sing by himself.
So they say when God closes a door, he opens a window for you.
The performance ended, and the audience responded with enthusiastic applause.
The main event was about to begin.
The crucial awards left are the FIFA Women’s World Player and the FIFA Ballon d’Or. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Ramos turned his head and asked, "Who will it be?" "Marta!"
Huang Kaiwen said without hesitation.
Ramos couldn’t help but exclaim softly.
Even as a male athlete, he felt that Marta was a bit over the top.
If she wins again this year, that would be Marta winning the Ballon d’Or for five consecutive years.
Even more remarkable than Huang Kaiwen, considering Huang Kaiwen lost to Kaka one year due to too many injuries.
Sure enough, the name was announced by the guest on stage.
"Marta!"
The audience burst into vigorous applause.
This was a tribute to a great athlete.
The Brazilian female footballer Marta stepped onto the stage, her demeanor far less composed than last year.
Coming onto the stage with a choke in her voice, Marta said, "I never imagined there would be a day like this, but in pursuit of honor, I am far from satisfied. I will continue to strive hard. Some say I can represent Brazilian football, but that’s impossible. Every time Pele sees me, he talks about Kevin. He always complains about Kevin wasting his talent... but, even when he’s not satisfying Pele, Kevin is still the best player. He has never lost even a single match, while I lost one crucial UEFA Champions League final to Arsenal. I’ve been telling myself never to lose in finals again. I don’t dare to hope that I can still win a UEFA Champions League by continuously transferring, but I hope to win more championships, that’s what football means to me!"
A montage of Marta played on the big screen.
Her skill level and sense for the ball were truly outstanding.
After the one-minute montage ended, guests sincerely offered their applause.
Huang Kaiwen smiled and clapped.
The Yellow Ball King could only smile wryly; even in women’s football, they had to bring him up.
His fans were already players of Ballon d’Or caliber.
Two hosts from France took the stage again, saying, "Next is the most exciting segment, the merger of the Ballon d’Or and Mr. World Football, and we’ll witness the first new Ballon d’Or after the merger."
Blatter and the general manager of "Team Newspaper" walked toward the podium with the Ballon d’Or.
Guardiola served as today’s award presenter.
"Heh, the top three are Huang Kaiwen, Messi, and Iniesta, fittingly players Guardiola is currently coaching and those he coached earlier at Barcelona."
"Indeed, after the Ballon d’Or and Mr. World Football merged, the procedure also changed, and you could clearly see the tension on Iniesta’s face. After all, his fried meatballs were learned from Huang Kaiwen. Now he has to compete with Huang Kaiwen for the highest honor in football, he probably feels unsure inside."
[Belgium National Team] right.
"That’s it, it must truly be Huang Kaiwen this time."
"Isn’t it obvious? Messi fell short because his club didn’t win the UEFA Champions League, and Argentina didn’t do too well in the World Cup. As for Iniesta, what’s he going to do against Huang Kaiwen, given Huang Kaiwen scores more in a month than Iniesta does in a whole season?"
"8 goals in the league, 1 goal in the UEFA Champions League, it’s hard to say. If Huang Kaiwen had those stats for a season, I wouldn’t even bother to criticize him."
"Can’t say that, Iniesta is a midfielder, and Huang Kaiwen’s a winger."
"Then compare a midfielder against Huang Kaiwen’s defense?"
"Damn it, Huang Kaiwen’s defensive capability is incredibly strong, FM can’t even showcase his ability. I might as well play CM0304; at least it has some veteran players."
"Huang Kaiwen’s mental attributes are absurd. They’re all maxed out; even with all his transfers, his loyalty is 20!"
"Honestly, Huang Kaiwen’s mental attributes are pretty good. But I feel his creativity being just 19 is a bit too low, probably due to not enough attribute points, especially since this dude’s both-footed, taking too much PA."
"Holy crap, it really is Huang Kaiwen!"
On stage, after Guardiola opened the envelope, he looked somewhat regretful at his two former disciples, then smiled and announced to Huang Kaiwen, "Kevin!!!"
Messi paused for a moment and then broke into a smile, joining in the applause.
"Congratulations, Kevin!"
C. Ronaldo, getting up a step slower, could only awkwardly say.
He didn’t even see how Ramos got up.
No wonder his earlier encounters felt Ramos had explosive power.
This kid really is something else.
After Ramos released Huang Kaiwen, Huang Kaiwen supported C. Ronaldo’s arm, patting him twice on the shoulder.
C. Ronaldo broke into a smile.
Mourinho didn’t even get up, remained seated, and nodded to Huang Kaiwen.
Huang Kaiwen nodded back in acknowledgment.
Though Mourinho had a strong personality, their interactions remained pleasant.
It took over two minutes for Huang Kaiwen to make it to the stage, where he received the Ballon d’Or Trophy from Guardiola.
