Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 145 The Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, Su Hao's prestigious Puskás Award!
The Golden Boy award was actually predicted by many media outlets when Suho first arrived in the Premier League, and they thought he would be a dark horse.

After Su Hao helped Arsenal win the Premier League and FA Cup double in just half a season, the 14 Golden Boy award was a foregone conclusion.

Su Hao was not surprised at all to win the Golden Boy Award. The problem was that he did not expect that he would actually be included in the All-Star XI.

Moreover, it wasn't just this year's best XI; according to information obtained by Mendes from within the organization, even the Puskás Award was awarded to Su Hao for that super S-shaped shot from 36 meters out that he got Joe Hart into the game in the last round of the league.

Forehead.
However, the only slight disappointment is that Su Hao failed to make it into the top three for the Ballon d'Or.

Neuer, who devised the crazy goalkeeper tactic at the World Cup, became the third player after Messi and Ronaldo to achieve this.

"Hey! Su, what are you grinning about? Want to go out and have some fun later?"

Putting down his phone, Su Hao showed a slight smile, noting that the team had won the mid-season championship and he himself had also achieved some success.

Seeing Su Hao grinning to himself, Brother Tazi put his arm around Su Hao and asked him about his plans for the evening.

Su Hao will turn 18 in about ten days.

In Tazi's opinion, it's time for Su Hao to experience the joys of adulthood.

However, to be honest, although Su Hao doesn't object to eating wild animals, he only eats healthy food that has plastic wrap and a label on the shelf.

He was genuinely a little scared of the miscellaneous goods on the supermarket shelves, especially the kind that anyone could touch.

Besides, he is now a moral role model for young people in China. If he were to be exposed for even the slightest flaw, his commercial value would be severely damaged!
Therefore, Su Haoyi firmly declined Brother Ta's invitation and, as always, returned to the hotel early.

The 18th round of the league has concluded.

Arsenal have finally ushered in a break of about nine days.

With the league and various cup competitions temporarily suspended, Su Hao naturally set off on a flight back to China.

Moreover, Su Hao didn't go back alone this time.

Virgil van Dijk.
This Arsenal and Chinese men's national football team's prospective defensive general, who had already gone through the Football Association's efforts and was only one step away from signing the contract, also "returned to his ancestral homeland, which he had never set foot on before," along with Su Hao!
"Hey! Do you think domestic fans will accept me? After all, I..."

"Hey! Shouldn't the first thing I say to a reporter be 'Hello'?"

"Hey! I saw online that wearing a Zhongshan suit should be more formal?"

"his"

During the long flight, Van Dijk was like a chatterbox, asking all sorts of questions.

Although Su Hao felt that Van Dijk was being a bit too much, he still patiently explained to Van Dijk some issues that he needed to be aware of when he arrived in China.

11:12 AM on January 27th.

International flight CS5265, which took off from London, finally landed slowly on the super-large runway of Beijing Capital International Airport.

Before arriving, the Chinese Football Association had already announced on its social media that Su Hao would bring Van Dijk to the association to complete all registration procedures as soon as possible.

Therefore, whether it's Su Hao's fans or the very few Van Dijk fans...

They all gathered early at the exit of Beijing Airport, waiting for this magical moment that would definitely go down in the history of the Chinese national football team!
11 points.

After completing all the immigration procedures, Su Hao finally appeared in everyone's sight, dressed casually and Van Dyke in a suit.

"Crack!"

"Crack!!!"

"Crack!!!"

As soon as the two appeared, countless cameras started clicking on them like crazy.

CTV, Sports Weekly, Sina, Tencent, Sohu.
Every reputable media outlet in China dispatched a special reporting team to broadcast the entire arrival of Su Hao and Van Dijk live.

Especially CTV!

Old Huang was also officially designated as the first reporter to conduct the interview, standing in front of Su Hao and Van Dijk.

Good morning, Su Hao!

After greeting his old acquaintance Su Hao, Huang Jianxiang held up the microphone and looked at Van Dyke.

"Good"

Huang Jianxiang had originally planned to interview Van Dyke in English.

But to everyone's surprise, Van Dijk spoke up directly.

"Okay, my name is Van Dijk, and I am very proud to become a proud Chinese archer!"

shit
It sounded a bit strange, but as soon as he said that, Old Huang's lips immediately curled into a smile.

Although Lao Huang knew in his heart that players like Van Dijk, who came from the slums, naturalized as Chinese citizens and joined the national team purely for money.

But there's nothing wrong with their attitude!
Turning his head to glance at Su Hao, Lao Huang naturally understood that Van Dyke's words were definitely taught by Su Hao.

The brief interview at the airport ended quickly.

As the live broadcast continued, Su Hao and Van Dijk went directly to the Football Association's headquarters in a car provided by the Football Association.

For some reason, what should have been a signature from a certain organization was processed directly through the Football Association this time with the green light.

It took less than an hour in total.

Van Dijk then smiled and showed the camera his unique citizenship certificate.

As for his name, of course Van Dijk didn't give himself a name like Su Van Dijk, as Su Hao had jokingly suggested back then.

It's his transliteration—Van Dyke!
With his naturalization successful, the Chinese Football Association has officially announced the international match days in January, and the Chinese national team roster will officially include Virgil van Dijk for his first national team training camp.

All day long.

For the first time, Van Dijk finally experienced what it felt like to be cherished.

Even Lao Fan's agent called him around noon.

Just as Lao Fan had been hoping, after such a sensational national naturalization ceremony, many Chinese manufacturers have already contacted their agents to offer him money.

Oh oh oh!
On the other end of the phone, Van Dijk, who had endured countless years of hardship, almost burst into tears upon hearing these words.

However, it's a little disappointing that, perhaps because his reputation is still too small, the prices offered by the manufacturers who approached him weren't very high.

"My ancestors were Hakka people from Guangdong!"

“When I was very young, my grandmother told me that she was a Chinese child. I remember it very clearly; at that time, my grandmother still had a photo of her relatives in China!”

"My family was very poor back then. In order to fulfill my football dream, I continued to play football while washing dishes!"

"Yes, Su called me immediately after the media revealed my Chinese heritage."

"He invited me to play for the national team together!"

"Oh, God!"

"do you know?"

“Actually, a long, long time ago, when my grandmother took me to fly kites, I dreamed that one day I could bring my grandmother back to China and do something for my grandmother and for China!”

"Thank God, my dream has come true!"

"Wearing the Chinese national team jersey is my childhood dream!"

On that day, Titan Sports Weekly featured a huge exclusive interview with Virgil van Dijk.

As soon as this report came out, Lao Fan's number of fans in China surged several times over.

However, after listening to Van Dijk's interview from beginning to end, Su Hao asked out of curiosity why Van Dijk hadn't told him about his grandmother's story before.

then
Van Dyke then secretly told Su Hao with a vague look in his eyes.
Actually, he had never met his maternal grandmother.
Damn it, after hearing those words, Su Hao finally understood how shameless Van Dijk was.

To please domestic fans, this guy is really something else.

Of course, Lao Fan has gone to great lengths to please the fans.

Su Hao naturally didn't expose him.

After all, with this persona released, Lao Fan can better integrate into the national team, right?

The process of Van Dijk's naturalization has been handled on such a grand scale.

Naturally, almost all newspapers in Europe reported on this matter.

The English media didn't have any particular stance, but the Dutch media was different.

After all, the Dutch Football Association is extremely envious of the individual abilities that Van Dijk has been demonstrating at Arsenal.

But before they could even officially recruit Van Dijk, he shamelessly went and joined the Chinese national team.

This news is almost a disgrace to Dutch fans and the Dutch Football Association.

The news reached Europe early the next morning.

The best-selling Dutch football magazine, International Football, published an article in his column criticizing Virgil van Dijk for joining a men's football team from a football wasteland without any moral boundaries, all for the sake of money.

The report included various slanders against Van Dijk's personal character, and even claims that Van Dijk would be forever barred from winning the World Cup because of money.

"International Football" is written in a very scathing way.

The news was so scathing that even Su Hao, who was far away in China, saw it, and a foreign reporter asked him for his opinion on the International Football magazine's report mocking Van Dijk.

view?

What could Su Hao say about something like this?
"I don't know why they would say that Van Dijk will never win the World Cup, as if the Netherlands has any championships to its name?"

Got it!
That foul mouth of Su Hao, he promised he wouldn't cause any more trouble this year.

The result is now good!

With the question of what championships the Netherlands has to offer, Su Hao has offended more than just one or two groups of fans who are boycotting him.

Su Hao has offended an entire country!
then
Su Hao's push was immediately met with a barrage of criticism from countless Dutch fans.

Dutch fans would tolerate it if teams like Germany or Spain said they didn't win the championship.

A Chinese player actually said such a thing.

This is absolutely the greatest insult to them.

only!

Before they could even bombard Su Hao's Twitter account with messages, Van Dijk posted a new message on his own Twitter account.

Yes!

After officially becoming a Chinese citizen, Van Dijk secured his first major endorsement deal in less than two days.

Anta is a sports brand from China!

And seemingly to retaliate against the mockery from "International Football," Van Dijk even wrote in his tweet that his contract offer was 900 million pounds over 3 years.

This tweet immediately caused an uproar in European football.

There's no way around it; given the current market value, for a player like Virgil van Dijk who was promoted from the Scottish Premiership to the Premier League, his endorsements...
Pooh!
He doesn't deserve endorsements.

But what about now?
Because he has acquired Chinese citizenship, and he has already secured a starting position at Arsenal.

Despite having virtually no commercial value, Virgil van Dijk somehow managed to raise his market value overnight to a level comparable to, or even higher than, that of Premier League stars like Eden Hazard.

This astonishing increase in market value has ignited the passion of countless players in the top five European leagues who have yet to make it into their national teams.

Yes
For poor professional players like them, national honor is nothing!

Money is everything!

Four days.

Su Hao stayed at home, giving up all business activities, quietly eating his mother's cooking and listening to her nagging.

Van Dijk, on the other hand, simply called his agent and filled four days with a packed schedule.

Su Hao even saw in the news one day that Van Dijk, that shameless bastard, actually went to cut the ribbon for the opening of a shopping mall.

Fortunately, Su Hao made a phone call to remind him after seeing this.

Otherwise, Van Dijk might have ended up being the officiant at the wedding!
2015 1 Month 6 Day.

Three days after returning to London with Van Dijk.

Arsenal hosted West Ham United, their opponent in the 19th round of the league, at their home ground.

After a nine-day break, the professor fielded a full starting lineup, including Su Hao and others, at his home stadium.

Since the partnership between Su Hao and Kanté was already fully formed, Giroud and Lewandowski each scored a goal in this match, plus Di Maria's volley.

Arsenal decisively defeated West Ham United, a team in the lower half of the league.

With this victory, Arsenal continue to lead the Premier League standings by an impressive margin.

And it was after this match ended.

The next morning, Su Hao and the professor boarded a flight to Zurich, Switzerland, without stopping.

是 的
The Golden Globe Awards ceremony that Su Hao had been looking forward to for so long was finally about to arrive.

At 1 p.m. on January 7th.

Su Hao and the professor finally arrived at the beginning of the awards ceremony red carpet in a car arranged in advance by FIFA staff.

After all, Su Hao and the professor weren't among the most important people at this star-studded event.

Therefore, their two cups were placed at the very beginning of the entrance ceremony.

However, the organizers didn't pay much attention to Su Hao.

However, the massive number of fans at the scene gave Su Hao an absolutely exaggerated shout.

"Su Hao!"

"Su Hao!"

"su!!!"

She has an exceptionally high level of attractiveness and a perfect figure that perfectly matches the aesthetic standards of Europeans and Americans.

Even though everyone knew Su Hao wouldn't win the Golden Globe this time, he still became the most eye-catching presence on the red carpet at that moment.

That is, about 40 minutes later.

After waiting for a long time in their seats, Su Hao and his companion finally saw Ronaldo carrying his son and Messi leading Antonella into the venue.

Got it!
As soon as the two main figures arrived, the scene immediately became bustling with activity.

After all, Su Hao was included in the All-Star 11 list. Although Su Hao's seat was not in the first row, it was still considered to be in the front row.

6 o'clock.

After all preparations were completed, British television presenter Kate Abdo and former German international footballer and television presenter Stefan Effenberg, dressed in formal attire, finally appeared on stage amidst applause.

"Lingdisengand station is so boring!"

"."

The first item on the agenda of the awards ceremony.

With the introduction of the female host, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Manuel Neuer, and women's football players Nadine Kessler, Marta, and Abby Wambach were all the first to take the stage.

However, since the Golden Globe Awards were the highlight of the ceremony, the host invited these individuals to leave after their brief appearance.

The first award that follows is the Puskás Award, which is what all the Chinese fans waiting in front of their TVs are most looking forward to.

The lights at the entire ceremony venue suddenly went out.

The big screen also began playing footage of all the candidate goals from last season, including those from the World Cup.

The first example is James Rodriguez of Colombia's turn and volley in the World Cup.

Next up was Van Persie's Flying Dutchman!

Finally, there was Su Hao's incredible 36-meter S-shaped shot against Joe Hart in the final round of the Premier League title race.

Although Su Hao's goal has been broadcast countless times in media outlets around the world.

But when you get there, even though everyone there is a star player...

After that exaggerated "bang" and the unbelievable "S" sound, a collective gasp rippled through the crowd.

With the atmosphere already built up, the female host naturally didn't keep them in suspense any longer and announced the final list of winners.

"The 2014 Puskás Prize winners."

After a drawn-out note that created anticipation in the audience.

"Arsenal number 11 -- from China -- su -- hao!!!"

Suddenly, all the lights on stage focused on Su Hao in the second row.

At the same time, all the star players and coaches present also gave Su Hao a round of applause as a courtesy.

"The winners of the 2014 Puskás Prize!"

"Arsenal's number 11, Su Hao from China!"

The host at the scene announced Su Hao's name, and at the same time, in the CTV5 live broadcast room.

Old Huang was also excited and provided simultaneous translation.
-
[Damn, I knew it! I knew it! Su Hao is awesome! It would be an injustice if he didn't win an award for this!]
-
[From 36 meters out, with such an exaggerated "S," and most importantly, this goal ended Arsenal's eight-year trophy drought. This goal absolutely deserved!]
-
[That felt so good! After watching the Golden Globe Awards for so many years, this was honestly the most enjoyable one I've ever seen!]
-
[Haha, he's here! Su Hao is about to go on stage. I saw in the report that Su Hao also has a Best 11 award, so Su Hao can go on stage twice today.]
-
[This was last year's record. If Su Hao can win the Champions League this year, we'll see him win it several times in a row this time next year, and maybe he can even bring the Ballon d'Or back to China!]

A dazzling spotlight.

The audience was absolutely outrageous.

Honestly, after receiving the trophy from the presenter...

Su Hao also took a while to prepare before taking the microphone and saying his first words.

"Thank you everyone! Thank you to all the fans who supported me, and thank you to all my teammates!"

He didn't speak English, because he knew how many people in China were watching him, so Su Hao spoke Chinese directly at the awards ceremony.

Of course, after saying all this, Su Hao repeated it in English.

"Clap clap clap!"

After the English translation was finished, the top stars present gave Su Hao a token round of applause.

Puskás Prize.
In reality, these stars don't have much prestige.

After all, sometimes the winners of this award are non-professional players or even disabled players.

Su Hao has stepped down.

And then a series of awards were gradually presented.

The FIFA Men's Coach of the Year award is not the one Su Hao expected from his own coach.

After helping the German team win the World Cup, Joachim Löw naturally deservedly became the Coach of the Year.

The FIFA Women's Coach of the Year award went to Lina Delkamp, ​​head coach of the Wolfsburg women's national team.

FIFA Women's Ballon d'Or winner – Nadine Kessler, the key midfielder for both the German national team and the Wolfsburg women's national team.

All these miscellaneous awards have ended.

The penultimate item, which required Su Hao to appear, also saw the 11 members of the year take the stage again.

Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich/Germany)
Defenders: Philipp Lahm (Bayern Munich/Germany), Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid/Spain), Thiago Silva (Paris Saint-Germain/Brazil), David Alaba (Bayern Munich/Austria)
Midfielders: Su Hao (Arsenal), Toni Kroos (Real Madrid/Germany), Andres Iniesta (Barcelona/Spain)
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid/Portugal), Lionel Messi (Barcelona/Argentina), Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich/Netherlands)
Forehead.
Although he went on stage, for some reason, Su Hao was placed in the far corner by the staff.

In the corner, I watched Messi, Ronaldo, and the bald guy standing at the very front.

For some reason, Su Hao suddenly hummed, "At my alma mater's dance that year, I stood like a lackey."

Damn it, after humming it out, Su Hao realized that the lyrics were incredibly fitting for the occasion.

He'll be 18 in just one day, won't he?
Come up on stage and take a picture!
The process for Su Hao's Golden Globe Award this year is now completely over.

Then, just as Su Hao remembered, after winning his third Ballon d'Or, Ronaldo gave a "SIU" into the microphone, startling everyone.

Since then!

The 2014 Golden Globe Awards ceremony has officially concluded.

Su Hao won the Best 11 award and the Puskás Award.

just
For Su Hao, without the most dazzling Golden Globe Award, he always felt as if he had come for nothing.

It was midnight on that night.

Su Hao wrote a sentence on his social media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, and Weibo in China.

Happy 18th birthday to me! I hope next year on this day, I'll receive a different birthday present!

Although nothing was said, at this moment, it was as if this sentence was announcing something to the whole world!
PS: Finally!
The main character is finally 18!

More than two years, do you know how the protagonist spent those two years?
Do you know how noodles are prepared?
Next up!
You'd better taste the wrath of the protagonist!
