Chapter 522 Golden Globe Awards

? David doesn't know what mood Florentino is in now, maybe he's happy, maybe he's depressed!

Of course, there is still a long time before the Champions League 1/8 finals. After the draw is over, this page can be turned over. Notts County's attention must return to the league.

However, for Villa, it is close to the most important moment of his career, and the selection of the European Ballon d'Or is about to start.

Since more than two months ago, Notts County has joined hands with many sponsors to start a campaign for Villa. At this point, Shevchenko, who is considered to have a certain chance of stability, is far from the exposure of Villa. , seems to have fallen behind from the starting line.

In fact, in the list of candidates pre-announced by "France Football", Notts County is undoubtedly the biggest gainer. Among the 50 players, Notts County occupied 6 places, ranking first among all clubs.

Villa, Deco, Alonso, Robben, Carvalho, Lahm, this is the 6 Notts County players who have qualified for the selection, and if you add Iniesta and Snee who have already transferred and left De, the number will reach 8.

This is also the best compliment to Notts County's outstanding performance last season. The influence brought by the Premier League championship and the UEFA Cup is unparalleled. You must know that last season's UEFA Cup was even more luxurious than the Champions League!

The Champions League champion Monaco has only two players selected, Giuli and Morientes, while the UEFA Cup runner-up Valencia has four players selected, which is evident.

However, these 50 candidate players are mostly just to make appearances, and in the end, they are only the role of accompany the prince to study. In fact, there are only a few players who have a chance to be stable.

Previously, according to the predictions of the media, only Shevchenko and Villa had a chance to win this honor. The rest, whether Deco or Ronaldinho, even Henry and Giuli, were just running with him.

The selection rules for the European Ballon d'Or are as follows. Senior journalists from the sports media of UEFA's 52 member states serve as judges. Each judge lists five names. Ranked by score.

On the evening of December 12, David and Villa came to France. Originally, Loew should have been present on this occasion, but because the day of the award ceremony happened to be the league between Notts County and Arsenal, Loew could only Choosing to lead the team to the game, it is impossible for him to miss such an important league.

"Are you nervous?" David sat on the sofa in the hotel and found that Villa beside him seemed a little absent-minded.

Villa turned his head and looked at David in confusion, "Why are you nervous?"

This time, it was David's turn to be stunned.

If he were Villa, then he would be so nervous that his clothes were soaked, but Villa still seemed to be heartless. Are some people born with such a big heart?

Looking at David's expression, Villa seemed to understand something, and asked David with a sly smile, "Don't you know the selection process of the European Golden Globe Awards?"

What does it mean?

David didn't understand what Villa was talking about!

This time Villa really understood. It turned out that his own chairman really didn't know the specific process, otherwise how could he ask such an amateur question!

"Don't you know that although the results of the Ballon d'Or were announced at the awards ceremony, in the previous week, Ernault, the editor-in-chief of "France Football", would personally award the winners, take pictures, and then prepare for the routine long interviews?"

David shook his head blankly, he really didn't know this, which means, the Golden Globe winner knew he had won a week ago?

Did Villa win or not win?

I haven't heard of Villa's interview with "French Football" before. It seems that Villa has missed the Ballon d'Or?

David felt extremely frustrated. He had done so much work before, but in the end it was all empty. Eastern European stars really have a huge advantage.

"It doesn't matter, I didn't win the award this time. We have another time. You are young. You have to play for another ten years on the court. There will always be a time when you win!" Although David felt bad in his heart, he said: Thinking that it should be Villa who is more uncomfortable now, so he comforted softly.

Villa burst out laughing, the expression was exaggerated and exaggerated, making David feel as if he was very ignorant.

After Villa's explanation, David realized what a big oolong he had made.

The current European Ballon d'Or award ceremony is not at all like the subsequent FIFA Ballon d'Or, where candidates are present and the results are announced on the spot.

Candidates who will not be notified, which means they do not receive an award, do not need to come to France at all.

Since Villa came to the awards party, it means that he has already won the award!

"Cha, what a shame, I thought you were out of the game!" David blushed and said sternly.

Finally, the effort was not in vain. Villa lived up to expectations and won the European Golden Globe Award. This is also the first European footballer from Notts County. David felt that all his efforts were not in vain.

The next day at the awards show, David had no way to accompany him. Instead, he watched the live broadcast in the hotel. When Villa received the trophy symbolizing the supreme honor from Erno, David really felt that his tears were about to stay. down!

"When I started playing, I wanted to be the top player in the world and I dreamed of being able to get that honour one day. Now, with the Ballon d'Or in my hands, it feels so dreamy that I'm so excited I don't even know what to say. What is good!"

"This honor does not belong to me, thanks to the chairman of Notts County, Mr. Parvis, to my manager, Mr. Low, and to my teammates at Notts County. This Ballon d'Or trophy belongs to Notts County. Everyone!"

At the award ceremony, Villa didn't say too much, and it was not suitable to say too many sensational words on this occasion, but at the press conference after the award ceremony, Huluwa confided in front of reporters.

"More than three seasons ago, when Mr Parves traveled all the way to Spain to convince me to join Notts County, a third-division team in England, I thought this man was crazy, but he didn't. Finally convinced me to join Notts County, I still remember what he said to me, come on, let's create a miracle together, but I didn't expect that the miracle was really created by us, we succeeded from the League Two all the way. Played in the Premier League, we even won the Premier League unbelievably, two consecutive UEFA Cups, everything seemed like a dream! I love this club, I have the highest personal honor here, I hope I can be in Play here until retirement!" (To be continued.)
