Football: I am only 16 years old, and you want me to retire and make a comeback?

Chapter 779 If I say everything now, there'll be nothing left to say later (Bonus chapter, please vote!)
Dongqiudi pinned post: The 2021 Ballon d'Or awards ceremony is underway, Bellingham won the Kopa Trophy.

clap clap clap!
The applause for Bellingham was deserving of applause.

If we look at all the young players this year, excluding those who have already won awards like Tang Ye, then Bellingham is clearly the most suitable Kopa Trophy winner.

Everyone says that Pedri of Barcelona is amazing.

But you should know that Bellingham is a Champions League winner!
With this one buff on his head, even if Pedri gets 10 more assists, he still won't be able to withstand the pressure!

In the center of the stage, Bellingham held up his Kopa Award trophy, followed by the flash of cameras in front of him.

While the Kopa Trophy is not as prestigious as the Ballon d'Or, since its inception in 2017, most of the players who have won it have achieved great success, leading journalists and fans to call it "a more authoritative recognition of talent than the Golden Boy Award."

for example.

The inaugural Kopa Award winner – GGBond!

Just two years after winning the Kopa Trophy, Tang Ye received his first Ballon d'Or!

"Thank you!"

“Thank you very much!”

Bellingham bowed in greeting, making eye contact with Haaland and Pogba in the stands, and of course, Tang Ye.

“I am very grateful for my teammates’ support, because I know that my personal ability is limited. Without their support, I estimate that it would have been very difficult for me to get to this point, at least not as quickly as this year.”

Bellingham picked up his prepared speech.

"Although some of my teammates who helped me are no longer with Dortmund..."

When this was said, the director immediately turned the camera to Tang Ye, who was sitting in the first row.

Tang Ye sat with Rodri and Dembele, the three of them less than 3 meters from the podium.

"Some of my teammates who helped me are no longer with Dortmund."

Anyone who has watched even a little bit of football knows who Bellingham is talking about.

This particular sentence suggests that Bellingham was one of those people who knew how to be grateful.

When drinking water, don’t forget the man who dug the well.

Bellingham won the Kopa Prize, but he did not forget the help he received from the master!

Of course, for a master, these are all minor matters.

The kind that's not worth mentioning!

Bang bang bang bang! ! !

The Kopa Trophy, the Women's Ballon d'Or, and the Best Goalkeeper award have all concluded.

As the supporting actors left the stage one by one, the atmosphere on set began to tense.

The Kopa Trophy and the Women's Ballon d'Or are ultimately games for a select few.

The dozens of guests present today are all here for the Golden Globe rankings!
"Ladies and gentlemen... Next, we will officially announce the 2021 FIFA Ballon d'Or."

Pah pah pah pah!!!
I can't breathe, guys!

Don't panic, it's guaranteed. If Tang Ye doesn't win the Ballon d'Or, I'll uninstall Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports betting platform).

Why are there so many people calling for Lewandowski to win the Ballon d'Or lately? When did my Uncle Wanzi hire these paid trolls?

I'll say one number: two gold balls! Not one less!

[Brothers, I've already locked the Châtelet Opera House on Google Maps. Tang Ye, if you don't have the Golden Ball missile, just launch it, okay?]

Are you very nervous?

Tang Ye looked at Dembele beside him.

"Hmm, why should I be nervous? It has nothing to do with me."

"Of course you should be nervous, you need to know your ranking."

"You're overthinking it. It's just a ranking; there's no need to be nervous."

After saying that, Dembele changed the subject: "However... if he ranks me too low, I will scold him."

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye pointed at Dembele and whispered, "That's what nervousness is."

"You need to see how far you are from the Golden Globe, and whether you're close to winning it."

"..."

Dembele looked left and right to make sure the guests next to him weren't paying attention to him, then lowered his head and used his finger to measure the distance between himself and Tang Ye: "30cm!"

"What 30cm?"

"You asked how far I am from the Golden Globe Award. It's 30cm."

"..."

"Ha ha!"

The two stopped arguing, and the scene became increasingly quiet.

The guests' attention was drawn to the large screen on the awards stage.

29th: Modric (Real Madrid, Croatia).

29th: Azpilicueta (Chelsea, Spain).

Bang bang bang bang! ! !

clap clap clap! ! !
Generally speaking, there won't be much controversy after 20th place, so everyone can just applaud.

Even if there is controversy, the players won't really say anything.

……

24th: Foden (Manchester City, England).

23rd: Pedri (Barcelona, ​​Spain).

22th: Matthijs de Ligt (Manchester United, Netherlands).

Finally, the first Manchester United player appeared at the 22nd position.

Although the ranking appeared relatively late, De Ligt himself was not exactly happy upon learning of it.

Because compared to 2020, De Ligt's performance in 2021 has declined significantly, failing to meet his own and the fans' expectations!

……

16th: Neymar (Paris, Brazil).

"It's not very good."

Tang Ye covered his mouth and started talking to Dembele about Neymar.

"He's injured too many times! Otherwise, he should be in the top ten!"

“I rarely agree with your views, but this time it is true, you are right, Ottoman!”

……

Team Expert (pinned): The 2021 Ballon d'Or rankings have been announced. Bruno Fernandes is 14th and Lukaku is 13th.

……

10th: Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City, Belgium).

"Wow!!"

*Smack! Smack! Smack!*

The audience was applauding De Bruyne, but by then many guests had already noticed something.

We're already in 10th place, but there are still many Manchester United players who haven't made it out yet!
hiss……

Scenes from 2019 flooded the minds of some of the guests present.

I remember that Manchester United almost dominated the final ten of the Ballon d'Or back then.

This year's situation seems even more outrageous!

9th place: Salah (Liverpool, Egypt).

8th place: Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus, Manchester United, Portugal).

Finally, another Manchester United player has arrived: Cristiano Ronaldo, ranked 8th.

If other players saw themselves ranked eighth, they would jump for joy.

But Cristiano Ronaldo is not that kind of person.

If you shift the camera's focus, you'll see that Ronaldo didn't even stand up to applaud himself.

Clearly, this ranking was not satisfactory to him.

7th place: Frenkie de Jong (Manchester United, Netherlands).

"There are no top five!"

De Jong sighed, realizing he might have spoken a bit too loudly, and quickly stood up to thank him while covering his mouth.

"Ha ha!"

6th place: Rodri (Manchester United, Spain).

Hey!

Tang Ye punched Rodri next to him, and the latter stood up as well.

"Well... because of Manchester United's unique tactics, we've seen that De Jong and Rodri have consistently ranked quite close in the Ballon d'Or rankings."

"Hey, there were only two award ceremonies, right?"

"Ha ha!"

"Yes, that's right. There are only rankings for 2019 and 2021, but those two years are indeed consecutive, or the difference is very small."

The narrators sounded relaxed, but if you listened carefully, you could tell that their voices were already a bit unsteady.

This is a sign of excessive stress!
We've already reached the top 5! "Currently, there are only... Tang Ye, Messi, Lewandowski, Benzema, and Dembele left! Only 5 players are left, so let's take a look at the rankings to be announced!"

5th: Benzema (Real Madrid, France).

4th place: Dembele (Manchester United, France).

Manchester United faced some problems after Tang Ye left last season, and Rashford also entered a slump. It can be said that Manchester United's attacking intensity was entirely carried by Dembele, so it is no surprise that the French striker achieved this ranking.

In the front row, Dembele raised both hands, seemingly frustrated at not making it into the top three.

Dongqiudi pinned post: The 2021 Ballon d'Or rankings have been announced, with Lewandowski in 3rd place.

[Lewandowski third? That means Tang Ye is being compared to Messi?]

[Wait, why isn't Lewandowski ranked higher than Messi? What's going on? I remember Lewandowski has 40 goals, right?]

What's the use of 40 goals when we got crushed by Dortmund in the league?

[It's a sure thing, it'll definitely be me, King Tang!]

Please, please don't celebrate prematurely!

Only two people left.

All the guests at the scene focused their attention on Tang Ye and Messi.

It is well known that the winner of the Golden Globe Award knows the result in advance.

So you can actually tell who the final winner is just by looking at Tang Ye and Messi's expressions.

At this point, everyone already knows the answer; they're just waiting for the official announcement.

2nd place: Messi (Barcelona, ​​Paris Saint-Germain, Argentina).

*Clap clap clap!!*
Messi stood up, hugged Ronaldo and Tang Ye respectively, bowed slightly, and then sat back down.

Here comes the point!

【6666】

[Awesome! Awesome!! Haha!!]

The homepage posters on Dongqiudi are completely covered by bullet comments. If you don't turn off the bullet comments, you can't even see Tang Ye's personal poster.

Of the 30 candidates, 29 received their rankings.

So, the only remaining person...

"Dong dong!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Strange drum sounds came from the sound system, and everyone's attention was drawn to the big screen, which was playing recordings of some matches.

"to the left..." (dribbling the ball to the left)

“TY…”

"Holy shit! TY!"

"What an incredible goal!"

"..."

“TY!”

“What’s this!!”

"Haaland...goal!!! (Haaland, goal!!)"

"What an amazing pass by TangYe!"

There were about 6-8 segments, lasting for about 1 minute, before the final segment suddenly disappeared and a red flame effect started to appear on the big screen.

"Dear viewers... if you watched the 2019 Golden Globe Awards ceremony, it should feel familiar."

"Yes, that's right. I remember it was like that in 2019 too, a raging fire."

"However, there are actually some differences. Strictly speaking, there are two flames here today, one red and one yellow. I think they represent Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund respectively, since Dortmund won the Champions League this year."

"Hey, actually all these special effects don't matter, what matters is the Golden Globe Awards!"

"Haha, yes!"

"China Media Group! Dear viewers, I must remind you that you are about to witness an indisputable historic moment."

"Winner of the 2021 FIFA Ballon d'Or".

"Tang Ye!"

Bang bang bang bang bang! ! !
There was thunderous applause.

Tang Ye gripped the armrests of the sofa with both hands and stood up.

Dembele also stood up, ready to hug Tang Ye, but was pulled back by Rodri.

Zhou Ye moved quickly, taking two small steps to get in front of Dembele and kissing Tang Ye on both cheeks.

Dembele pointed at Zhou Ye, then turned to look at Rodri: "Hey, why is she like this!"

"Kissing your family before accepting an award? What are you doing? That's your problem!"

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Dembele sat back down on the sofa, but he was furious. He pointed at Tang Ye, who was walking toward the podium, and said, "I'm his brother! This is his problem!"

"Ha ha!"

"Alright, keep quiet, Osman!"

Clap clap clap!

Tang Ye slowly walked to the awards stage and shook hands with the host and Ronaldo: "Hello!"

Hello, Tom!

This Ronaldo is not Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United, but the retired Brazilian Ronaldo, a former Ballon d'Or winner, and also the guest presenting the award to Tang Ye today.

"How do you feel now?"

Ronaldo held the Ballon d'Or trophy, ready to hand it to Tang Ye at any moment, but he didn't rush and asked the latter a few questions first.

"Um... I'm very happy, haha! I don't know what else to say, I'm probably not very good at saying this?"

"You need to think about it for a moment, and then slowly explain it to the audience."

Ronaldo joked, and then, with the photographer following him, handed the Ballon d'Or trophy to Tang Ye.

"Wow!!!!"

Bang bang bang bang! ! !

Top post on Dongqiudi: 2021 FIFA Ballon d'Or winner – Tang Ye!!!
Dongqiudi pinned post: Tang Ye wins his second Ballon d'Or trophy!
The Sun's pinned tweet: WTF? Two Ballon d'Or awards at 22!
The Manchester Evening News retweeted France Football's post: He was deserved!

Clap clap clap!

Clap clap clap!

The applause lasted for half a minute before the guests gave Tang Ye a chance to speak.

"Um...that."

Tang Ye paused here: "I've prepared a lot of things to say when I receive the award, but, well... now is not the time to say them, because if I say everything now, I won't have anything left to say later. So please forgive me."

"Ha ha!"

"Wow!!"

A little thought reveals the meaning behind Tang Ye's words.

"Okay, since you've said that, then I think waiting a bit isn't a problem."

The host spoke up for him, Tang Ye hugged Ronaldo, and then walked down from the podium with his trophy.

He hugged and kissed his wife again.

Of course, Dembele also received a hug from Tang Ye this time.

[Golden Globe Award: Tang Ye]

Women's Ballon d'Or: Alexia Putjas

[Best Forward Award: Lewandowski]

[Yashin Prize: Donarumma]

Best Club: Borussia Dortmund

In the shot, Tang Ye is sitting on a sofa, holding a glittering Golden Globe Award trophy in his arms.

This is his second Golden Globe Award.

"Two Golden Globe Awards at the age of 22, I can't even imagine where Tang Ye's career will end."

Yes, haha!

"But...I don't remember there being two gold balls..."

Clap clap clap clap!
The screen on the field changed, and FIFA President Gianni Infantino suddenly appeared.

"First, I need to apologize because the 2020 Golden Globe Awards were cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances..."

"However, after a comprehensive evaluation by FIFA and France Football, we concluded that the cancelled matches would not have a decisive impact on the Ballon d'Or selection, so the 2020 Ballon d'Or selection process was restarted in August of this year..."

"Thank you!"

Infantino said a lot of things, but FIFA has already explained all of these things in its announcement. Infantino's appearance this time was just to apologize to the fans and players.

What fans are really looking forward to is not Infantino's apology, but the final outcome of the disqualified honor; that's what matters most.

"..."

"Next, we will proceed with... the supplementary award ceremony for the 2020 FIFA Ballon d'Or!"

Pah pah pah pah!!!
