Soccer: Maxed-out ball control, the skill is too overpowered.

Lu Xiao still remembers his first time attending the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

At 16, I wore a custom-made Armani suit for the first time and stood on the red carpet surrounded by reporters and flashing lights.

My first time meeting with football stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, and Ribery.

In that environment, Lu Xiao felt as radiant as these world-class superstars, as if just attending the awards ceremony was a great honor.

When Lu Xiao stood on the Golden Globe Awards stage again, he felt nothing.

Just three days ago, they thrashed Celta Vigo 6-0.

Lu Xiao flew to FIFA headquarters in Zurich immediately after the match to attend the 2015 Ballon d'Or award ceremony.

To be precise, it's the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

This award will likely be the last one. When the Ballon d'Or is awarded in 2016, France Football will reinstate the Ballon d'Or rules, no longer subject to the constraints of FIFA.

There wasn't much to say about the event. Lu Xiao maintained a polite smile throughout, her cheekbones practically aching from the effort.

I met the other two of the top three finalists for this year's Golden Globe Awards.

Lu Xiao had expected things to become tense.

In fact, basic manners still apply in such public settings.

"Lu, bro, you played well in the last game."

Cristiano Ronaldo has a fairly outgoing personality and took the initiative to greet people.

Lu Xiao simply shook hands with him.

Who calls you bro!

"Thanks."

Sure enough, during their "gangster-style" high-five, Ronaldo slightly pulled closer and lowered his voice, saying:

"See you at the Bernabéu, I will take my revenge... This time it's for real, I'm not joking."

Dude, are you Grey Wolf? Or a primary school student?

Lu Xiao was too lazy to even comment; how childish!

Whether publicly or privately, Cristiano Ronaldo has mentioned revenge several times.

It's like an ancient joke that Lu Xiao heard when he was a child—

On his first day of hunting, the hunter encountered a bear and was sexually assaulted by it.

The hunter, unwilling to give up, went back into the mountains to seek revenge on the bear, only to be raped again.

After several times, the bear couldn't take it anymore:

"Are you here to hunt or to sell yourself?"

So when Lu Xiao heard Ronaldo say that, he almost couldn't hold back his smile.

Yes, that's right.

"I'm serious!"

"Yes, yes."

"hateful!!"

Ronaldo grew angrier the more Lu Xiao left.

I intended to scare the other person with a harsh remark, but it turned out like a child threatening an adult with a water gun—zero attack power.

Just wait!

Real Madrid, under Zidane's leadership, is a completely different team now!

We, Real Madrid, are invincible!

Compared to Ronaldo's naiveté, Messi is relatively more somber.

The two did not exchange a single word, but simply nodded politely.

"Leo, this guy doesn't respect you at all. You're the world's number one player and have won the most Ballon d'Or awards."

Neymar turned his head to glance at Lu Xiao's back and pursed his lips.

In this year's Ballon d'Or rankings, Neymar is ranked 4th, second only to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Even though he lost to Lu Xiao once, Neymar was still not convinced.

I always felt that Lu Xiao's performance in the last Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid match was purely due to good luck.

Anyone who plays football knows how prestigious Messi is.

"It doesn't matter; results speak for themselves."

Messi said calmly.

A month before the awards ceremony, rumors about today's Golden Globe Awards were already rampant.

I'm highly likely to win the award, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

But Messi is also well aware that there is some bias involved in this award.

Barcelona didn't even make it to the final, so why should he win the award?

Lu Xiao lost because of his skin color.

In today's Western value system, even black players have a higher chance of winning awards than Lu Xiao.

Therefore, after the organizers repeatedly hinted at preparing an acceptance speech, the management team began preparing for the post-award publicity.

With the FIFA Ballon d'Or result almost predetermined...

Messi still couldn't be happy.

……

"The winner of this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or is—"

"Lionel—Messi—"

clap clap.

The applause from the audience was enthusiastic, but Ronaldo's face was ashen.

Lu Xiao simply wore a faint smile, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

The awards ceremony appeared uneventful on the surface.

The moment the presenter announced Messi's name, a huge wave of discussion swept across the internet!

"Why? Why not Lu?"

"The Golden Globe Awards Injustice, Part 3"

"After Sneijder and Ribery, there's Luka."

"Strictly investigate FIFA!"

We need the Ballon d'Or!

"Lu is number one! Messi is a vote thief!"

Angry netizens flooded FIFA's official Twitter account in less than 10 minutes.

There were even hackers who attacked FIFA's official website.

The homepage displays the large text "CHEAT," declaring it a FIFA Ballon d'Or scam and a cheating scheme.

The pent-up emotions from the two wrongful convictions—Sneijder in 2010 and Ribery in 2013—finally erupted.

Overnight, the Golden Globe Awards became the most discussed topic on the international internet.

Just one point short of winning the Ballon d'Or! 18-year-old Eastern prodigy narrowly loses to Messi, sparking widespread controversy in FIFA's selection process.

"French Football Magazine May Split from FIFA; Will the FIFA Ballon d'Or Become a Thing of the Past?"

"Giant Flaws in FIFA Ballon d'Or Selection Process: Experts Claim Merged Award Mechanism is Unreasonable"

"...At the recently concluded 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or awards ceremony,

Lionel Messi, a player from Barcelona, ​​narrowly won the 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or by just one point.

With five Ballon d'Or awards, he became the player with the most wins.

Lu Xiao's failure to win the award sparked controversy among netizens after the ceremony.

According to the FIFA Ballon d'Or selection rules, this year's award combines the original FIFA World Player of the Year selection with weighted media voting to arrive at the final total score.

In the first-place vote for national team coach and captain...

Messi had a significant lead with 49 votes, Lu Xiao ranked second with 25 votes, and Ronaldo only received 2 votes.

In the second ranking by media and professionals,

Lu Xiao leads Messi by a huge margin of 25 votes, a total of 15 votes ahead of him.

According to sources, Messi won the award with a weighted total score of 275 points, based on all the data.

Lu Xiao scored 274 points, but unfortunately lost by one point.

Achieving excellent results in the Champions League and international competitions for two consecutive years.

He was ranked in the Ballon d'Or rankings for two consecutive years but failed to be selected.

The FIFA Ballon d'Or has been met with growing skepticism from fans and netizens, and the Lu Xiao incident has become the catalyst for this controversy.

According to reports, a spokesperson for France Football magazine stated that they have refused to renew their contract with FIFA and are planning to expose a corruption scandal within FIFA, potentially implicating current FIFA president Sepp Blatter and UEFA president Michel Platini…

……

Lu Xiao never expected that a trip to Zurich would lead to...

When he returned to Madrid to prepare for the next match,

France Football's team-up speed is really fast!

Flash and ultimate skill hard CC Platini and Blatter!

"Look at this, Lu!"

Griezmann excitedly held up his phone in front of Lu Xiao, who was still eating breakfast and almost choked on it.

"...According to AFP, last night France Football magazine submitted materials to the relevant authorities, accusing FIFA President Blatter and UEFA President Platini of corruption over the years, and suspected of multiple crimes including match-fixing and award selection."

Early this morning, Swiss police detained several officials, including Blatter and Platini, on suspicion of involvement, and both have been suspended from their duties.

Gianni Infantino, former UEFA General Secretary, will temporarily serve as FIFA President. FIFA elections will be held in February…

"Holy crap, they moved so fast!"

"Yes, the world has suffered under FIFA for far too long!"

Griezmann spoke a long string of French, which was automatically translated and compressed by Lu Xiao.

"What a pity, what a pity."

Saul shook his head and sighed beside him.

"It's a pity that France Football was too slow to act. If they had made a scene earlier, Lu might have won the award."

"Yes, he is likely to be the youngest Ballon d'Or winner in history."

"Why……"

Before Lu Xiao could even sigh, his Atletico Madrid teammates were all crestfallen.

This left Lu Xiao with no choice but to comfort his teammates.

"Alright, alright, let's try our best to play well this year. Brothers, give me a push and bring the 2016 Ballon d'Or back!"

"no problem!!"

"Brother, I support you!"

Lu Xiao's teammates at Atletico Madrid were even more enthusiastic about this than his teammates.

Logically speaking, everyone should be vying for the Golden Globe Award, an individual honor.

Unfortunately, only Lu Xiao in the team has a chance; the others are too far from winning the Ballon d'Or.

Everyone around Lu Xiao felt proud to have helped her win the award.

Even if they transfer out, there will be something to brag about:

I used to play football with the great Ballon d'Or winner Lu Xiao back in the day, we were buddies!

"That's right!"

Simeone then seized the opportunity to strengthen team cohesion.

"Let's step up our game, set a small goal first, and take back that damn top spot!"

"Vamos!!!"
