Chapter 85 The Golden Globe Awards Ceremony
Qatar, Doha.
National Convention Center.
"...Dear viewers, behind me is Qatar's National Convention Centre, a building with a distinctive design that is one of the most complex convention centers in the world."
The overall structure is inspired by the Sidra tree in Doha, forming a landmark building in Qatar.
Completed in April 2011, it now contains more than nine halls and 40,000 square meters of space, enough to accommodate more than 10,000 people at the same time.
This year's FIFA annual awards ceremony was held at the National Convention Center Theater.
Later, we will witness a Chinese player step onto the podium to receive an important international football award.
At the same time, we can also witness who will win the 2013 Golden Globe Award.
Please stay tuned to CCTV Sports Channel...
Barring unforeseen circumstances, CCTV5 will broadcast the Golden Globe Awards ceremony live.
Unless the awards ceremony clashes with "important" competitions such as curling, snooker, tennis, or table tennis.
This marks the first time a Chinese player has participated in a major FIFA-level award.
CCTV also attached great importance to this awards ceremony and specially sent a film crew to Doha, Qatar.
After a series of verbal announcements, the young and beautiful intern reporter finally finished her filming assignment.
As the camera cut back to the studio in the capital, she could finally take a break.
"Not bad. It's your first time acting as a reporter and your first time going abroad for an interview mission. You did a pretty good job."
"I was a little nervous just now."
"Don't be nervous, Xiao Ma. This is your job. Being a reporter is just the first step. You might even be hosting important events in the future."
Photographer Zhang Kaiheng has high hopes for this female college student.
Her delivery is fluent and clear, she has an active mind, and she also has her own ideas; she is a promising candidate to be a broadcaster.
"Hehe, thanks, Brother Zhang."
Ma Fanshu, a sophomore intern reporter, was a little embarrassed.
To be precise, she is already a junior in college.
After studying general business management for a year, Ma Fanshu stood out in a "Tourism Island Image Ambassador Selection Competition" and was admitted to the Communication University of China to study broadcasting and hosting the following year, intending to work hard towards becoming a host.
The original plan was to participate in CCTV's "Host Competition" next year to make an appearance.
Unexpectedly, at the end of 2013, I managed to secure an opportunity to intern as a reporter for CCTV.
I need to come to Doha, Qatar, to act as a frontline reporter and cover the FIFA Ballon d'Or and FIFA annual awards ceremony.
Ma Fanshu enjoys watching football, his favorite team is Bayern Munich, and he likes Thomas Müller.
However, while watching the Bundesliga this season, she noticed a young prodigy!
Lu Xiao's elegant playing style and miraculous performances in every game instantly caught Ma Fanshu's attention.
What's the home team, Bayern Munich?
No, the home team is Bayer Leverkusen now!
Although Lu Xiao is unlikely to compete for the FIFA Ballon d'Or, he does receive an important award today.
CCTV arrived in a hurry and hadn't yet communicated with Lu Xiao's agent, Mendes.
My colleagues are coordinating things, and I don't know if there will be an opportunity for an interview...
"Lu Xiao!!"
Ma Fanshu's eyes lit up as the stars arrived in luxury cars and walked the red carpet, entering the venue one after another under the flashing lights.
She spotted the tall, slender figure in front of her at a glance, with a striking silhouette and an alluring profile.
Handsome boy band members with Asian features.
It couldn't possibly be the Korean oppa Son Heung-min, could it?
It must be me, God Lu!
Unfortunately, Ma Fanshu was too far away, and her shouts went unnoticed by Lu Xiao.
"Let's go, Brother Zhang."
Ma Fanshu looked somewhat dejected as she led the photographer to the media section of the venue.
Most of the star players who are rarely seen in normal times gather here.
Kaka, Neymar, his idol Thomas Müller, Gareth Bale, Xavi, Iniesta...
Of course, the most eye-catching are the world's top "two superstars", Messi and Ronaldo!
When the two appeared one after the other, almost all the reporters rushed over, more frantically than Hollywood stars.
Since 2010, the France Football Ballon d'Or and the FIFA Men's Player of the Year have been merged into the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
Messi has won three consecutive trophies.
Even in 2010 and 2012, Messi only won the league title and had no other major competition titles.
This still doesn't prevent Messi from winning the Ballon d'Or.
Unless Ronaldo wins the Champions League, he has no chance of beating Messi to win the award.
Lu Xiao was currently among many world-class football stars in the guest seats.
To his left was Luka Modric, to his right was his old friend Toni Kroos, in front of him sat Gareth Bale, and behind him were Barcelona stars such as Iniesta and Xavi.
He thought he was a nobody in the football world, having played less than half a season in top professional football.
In fact, after Lu Xiao sat down, whether it was Modric or Kroos next to him,
Even Iniesta, standing behind Lu Xiao, politely greeted him.
"Lu! Nice suit!"
"Lu, I'm so glad to finally meet you in person!"
"That was beautiful, Lu! I watched all your goals, they were truly spectacular!"
"Nice to meet you, Lu, I am..."
"Of course I know, you're David Silva! You've been playing well this season, man."
Before the awards ceremony even officially started, Lu Xiao caused quite a stir in the guest seats.
Many famous football stars are curious about him and have tried to strike up a conversation with him, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Lu Xiao felt like a transfer student in the first episode of a Japanese anime, attracting the attention of his classmates.
In reality, for other established star players,
Lu Xiao is not some nobody.
Having only been in the Bundesliga for less than half a season, the fact that he has already made such a name for himself is already quite explosive!
Especially his two crucial matches against Manchester United made him known to the world!
According to rumors, other players perceive Lu Xiao as an arrogant and unparalleled genius.
He likes to hold onto the ball and not pass it during training, doesn't pay attention in training, ignores tactics on the field, doesn't listen to the coach's instructions, has poor relationships with his teammates, and has an awkward personality...
After actually meeting them, these stars realized they had been tricked.
Lu Xiao is sunny and cheerful, humble and polite, has a great sense of humor, and possesses a lot of personal charm.
How could he possibly be a ball hog as described in the tabloids?
The commotion made Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who were in the front row preparing to receive their awards, turn around.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi reacted differently upon seeing Lu Xiao.
Messi's thoughts are currently unclear.
Cristiano Ronaldo is quite interested in meeting Lu Xiao.
He was originally Mendes's number one star!
Now Mendes is paying more and more attention to Lu Xiao, while Lu Xiao, his "original wife," has been relegated to the sidelines.
Cristiano Ronaldo was a bit unconvinced, saying, "I'm clearly the best in the world!"
Soon, with the opening remarks from FIFA officials, the awards ceremony officially began!
"...The next award to be presented is in honor of the Hungarian legend Puskás, recognizing the most spectacular goal of the year."
"And this year's awards ceremony will be the least suspenseful Puskás Prize ever."
Retired Brazilian superstar Ronaldo walked onto the stage, sporting a large belly and a chubby face, and smiled happily.
"Haha, all three candidates today have the same name, so I won't say anything more, I'll just announce it!"
"The 2013 Puskás Prize winner is—Lu Xiao!!"
Amidst the applause and cheers of world-class stars, and faithfully recorded by cameras from around the world,
Lu Xiao, dressed in a suit worth hundreds of thousands of euros, walked toward the podium.
"Those were all beautiful shots, Lu, I'm your fan, keep it up!"
"Thank you, Mr. Ronaldo."
Lu Xiao smiled as he accepted the Puskás Award trophy from Ronaldo.
The large screen behind them was playing a video of Puskás Award goals.
The undisputed number one spot belongs to Lu Xiao's winning goal against Manchester United at home in the Champions League group stage!
Lu Xiao dribbled past three players in a move reminiscent of street dance, then chipped the ball for the game-winning goal!
Trophy honor +1!
In her acceptance speech, Lu Xiao revealed:
"I'm delighted to receive the Puskás Award, but I'd much rather stand here next time and lift the Golden Globe trophy!"
