At 18:00 pm on November 28, 2005 local time in Paris, countless reporters flocked to Place Cardin on the Champs Elysées, where the 50th European Golden Globe Awards Ceremony hosted by "France Football" was about to be held.

Who will win this year's European Ballon d'Or? Is it Barcelona's Ronaldinho? Chelsea's Lampard, Liverpool's Gerrard? Or Bayern Munich's Lu Qiujian, everything will be under one roof.

Will be revealed in an hour.

Many fans from all over the world also wore the jerseys of their idols and appeared near the awards venue, shouting their names loudly.

"Ronaldinho! Ronaldinho!" Several fans wearing Barcelona's No. 10 jersey raised a cartoon of Ronaldinho lifting the Ballon d'Or trophy above their heads.

Showing support for the man who helped Barcelona win its first league title since 1999.

"Lampard! Lampard!" shouted a group of fans wearing blue jerseys nearby, unwilling to be outdone. Lampard has maintained extremely stable performance in the past year, helping Chelsea win the English top league championship after 50 years.

And became the player with the most goals in the team, his voice for winning the award is also not low.

"Gerrard! Gerrard!" Then the Liverpool fans wearing red jerseys joined in. Unfortunately, this Red Army soul was dragged down by his team's record, and his hope of winning the award was not very high compared to the top two;

Liverpool performed poorly in the Premier League last season and this season. Although they entered the knockout rounds of the Champions League, they were defeated by Lu Qiujian's Bayern and lost the chance to reach the top. This made Gerrard lose a lot to the judges.

Less points.

"Henry! Henry!" Because he is in France, the fans who support Henry are probably the most. Wearing the French team uniform and the fans and the Arsenal fans form a temporary united front; Henry in last year's Premier League

He scored 25 goals in the Premier League and won the Premier League Golden Boot. If Lu Qiujian hadn't suddenly emerged, he would have been very likely to win the European Golden Boot again; but although he performed well personally, Arsenal failed last season.

Being deprived of the championship by Chelsea also put him at a disadvantage in the selection process.

"Who do you think will win this year?" at the awards ceremony in Cardin Plaza. Several reporters started gossiping while waiting for the event to start.

"I think Ronaldinho has the highest probability of winning the award! He won the Spanish Serie A championship and the Copa America last season, and he performed very well in the game!" said the pro-Barcelona "World Sports News"

》The reporter took the lead in throwing out his own candidates.

"Come on, what does the America's Cup champion have to do with the European Ballon d'Or? This is not about selecting the World Footballer. After all, the player's performance in the European arena is more important!" a reporter from the pro-Real Madrid Marca newspaper retorted.

.Although Real Madrid doesn’t have a player who has great hope of winning the award, it can’t watch its rival’s player win the trophy! Well, it would be good if he could win it and then Real Madrid could poach him!

"As for the league championship! The La Liga championship is of course very important, but we also have the Bundesliga championship, not to mention we also won the European Champions Cup and the German Cup! The first treble in the history of the Bundesliga should be

get a european ball

The award for the award! So I think Lu Qiujian has the best hope of winning!" The reporter from "Kicker" magazine was not to be outdone. It has been many years since Sammer. No player from the German league has won this award. It is not easy this year.

When you get the chance, you still don't show off properly.

"The Triple Crown winner does not necessarily win the Ballon d'Or. In 1999, Manchester United won the Triple Crown, but the Ballon d'Or winner that year was Barcelona's Rivaldo!" The reporter from "World Sports News" was a little unsure.

, which year Manchester United won the championship relied on the overall strength of the team, and no one player performed much better than other teams; but Lu Qiujian is different. If nothing else, just look at the first and second half of the European Champions Cup final.

If the gap is large, you should understand Lu Qiujian's role in Bayern.

This kind of topic cannot be discussed until the final winner is announced. As the stars of major clubs entered the court, these reporters stopped arguing; they quickly raised their cameras and pressed the shutter button desperately, and the flash lights suddenly lit up.

.

Huh? There seems to be something wrong with the people who came here! Before they could think about it, Ernault, the editor-in-chief of "France Football", came onto the stage and announced that the 50th European Ballon d'Or Awards Ceremony had officially begun.

After all the preparatory activities, it was finally the turn of the most eye-catching awards ceremony. Ronaldinho, Lampard and others, who had the greatest hope of winning the award in the audience, looked serious and stared at the stage with expectant eyes.

.

Ernault did not keep them waiting too much, and immediately announced the results of this selection; Lu Qiujian from Bayern Munich won this year's Ballon d'Or with a score of 248 points, and Ronaldinho from Barcelona won the Ballon d'Or with 248 points.

Ranked second with 142 points, Chelsea’s Frank Lampard

Ranked third with 121 points. From fourth to tenth are Henry of Arsenal, Gerrard of Liverpool, Shevchenko and Maldini of Milan, Adriano of Inter Milan, Juventus

Zlatan Ibrahimovic of Milan, Kaká of Milan and John Terry of Chelsea.

"Now, I would like to invite Lu Qiujian from Bayern Munich to come on stage to accept the award!" Ernault put his right hand on the trophy beside him and looked at the figure walking towards the stage with a strange expression.

All the reporters were stunned for a moment, and the flashlights didn't come back on until the award recipients came to the stage. This was not their fault, but this situation seemed to have never happened before in their memories.

"Thank you to "France Football", thank you to the judges, and thank you to all friends from the media." Bayern Munich general manager Hoeness took the trophy from Ernault and began to declare the award.

After a series of thanks, he held the trophy and began to explain the reason for his appearance on the stage, "Unfortunately, Dr. Lu Qiujian is currently conducting a very important physics experiment at CERN. This experiment is related to the cracking of the ultimate mystery of the universe.

Therefore, he was unable to come to receive the award; on behalf of Dr. Lu Qiujian, I would like to express my sincere apologies to the organizing committee, all guests present, and friends from the media."

Ronaldinho, Lampard and others in the audience were extremely depressed, and they ran over excitedly. It would be fine to give the award to someone else, but it would be too shocking for you as the winner to not even show your face.

Bar!

The few Chinese reporters in the press box only remembered one very important thing after getting excited. Damn it, how can we publish tomorrow's news without a photo of Lu Qiujian holding the trophy! (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
