Football King Bale

Bell didn't want to attend the dinner prepared by FIFA. Naturally, he didn't want to watch the carnival of the winners as a loser.

Although to ordinary people, he is also a winner after winning two awards at this award ceremony, but in Bell's view, the two awards he won are meaningless awards. The best team can only be awarded in one year. Eleven awards, and the best goal is really nothing to him. In the past 2010, he scored too many beautiful goals, and there is no need for such an award to be recognized.

Bell went directly back to the hotel. With all that time, he might as well have a good sleep and prepare for the difficult schedule ahead.

Although the nominal Christmas devil schedule has passed, for Manchester United, it is after the New Year that it truly enters the devil schedule, because Manchester United has truly entered the stage of four-line operations.

In January alone, United have eight games.

At 12:45 noon on January 1st, in the 21st round of the Premier League, Manchester United defeated West Brom 3:1 away from home;

At 8pm on January 4th, in the 22nd round of the Premier League, Manchester United defeated Stoke City 4:1 at home;

At 1:30 noon on January 9th, in the third round of the FA Cup, Manchester United defeated their arch-enemy Reds Liverpool 3-0 at home;

Then 52 hours later, at 19:45 on January 11, Manchester United will usher in the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals. Manchester United will face Birmingham at home;

At 4:10 pm on January 16, Manchester United will go to White Hart Lane to challenge Tottenham. This is the 23rd round of the Premier League;

Returning to home court on January 22, Manchester United will face Birmingham in the 24th round of the Premier League at 3 p.m.;

At 19:45 on January 26, it was still a game against Birmingham, but the venue was changed to Birmingham, and the event was changed to the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals;

Less than three days apart again, at 17:15 on January 29, Manchester United will go to Southampton for the fourth round of the FA Cup.

These are the eight games in January, all of which are double matches a week. The shortest time interval is only 52 hours, and the longest time interval is less than six days.

If this time is extended slightly forward, forward to Boxing Day, and backward to February 1st, then the number of Manchester United games will have to increase by 3 games.

In other words, from Christmas 2010 to February 1, 2011, in just 38 days, Manchester United will play 11 games!

Therefore, any rest time will be precious for Bale and his Manchester United teammates. If they want to win more this season, they not only need to take every game seriously, but also cherish every minute of rest.

………………

When Bell returned to the hotel, it was nearly 9 pm local time in Zurich. He changed his clothes and was about to go to bed when he found that his cell phone rang.

Bell was a little surprised. Who would call him at this time?

What surprised him even more was that when he picked up his phone and looked at it, he found that the number in front of the number was +86. Obviously, this was a call from the East! And it’s a landline phone somewhere in Dongfang Capital.

Bell was very puzzled. This phone number was very unfamiliar, and very few people in the East knew his phone number. After all, it was his private number. Apart from a limited number of friends and family, almost no one knew it.

Bell didn't want to answer the call, but after looking at the area code in front of it, he hesitated and finally answered the call.

"I'm Bell, who are you?" Bell said directly in Chinese instead of English.

A nice girl's voice came from the phone: "I'm Liu Xian'er..."

"Liu Xian'er?" Bell was stunned by the other party's answer.

The girl said with some disappointment: "It's Liu Xian'er who filmed a commercial with you in Switzerland. Have you forgotten me?"

Bell said quickly: "Of course not, I was just a little surprised. I didn't expect you to call me."

………………

At this time, Bell remembered that he did tell Liu Xianer his personal number when they parted ways in Switzerland last time. However, in the following months, Liu Xianer did not contact him, and he also did not contact Liu Xianer because he was busy with the competition.

Liu Xian'er said: "I just watched the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. Congratulations, you won two awards!"

Bell smiled. He didn't expect that Liu Xian'er called specifically to congratulate him and said: "Thank you Xian'er, but for me, tonight is not worthy of congratulations, because I am just a failure." That’s all.”

"Ah?!" Bell's words obviously surprised Liu Xian'er, and she asked in confusion, "Is this still a failure? Then how can it be considered a success?"

Bell smiled and said: "Xian'er, just like every actress among you has a dream to win an Oscar, we who play football also have a dream to win a Golden Globe."

Liu Xian'er said faintly: "The Golden Globe... I didn't expect your ideal to be so lofty! But for you, the Golden Globe shouldn't be too far away, after all, I heard that you won fifth place this year? "

Bell nodded and said: "Yes, I am not far away from the Golden Globe Award this year, but it is precisely because of this that I feel that I have failed. If I was just an inconspicuous little player, the Golden Globe Award It’s out of reach for me, but I don’t think so.”

"What you said is very interesting, but it also makes sense. When something is far away from you, or not even in the same world, you won't have extravagant hopes. Things that have happened in your past will make you feel extremely disappointed." Liu Xian'er said softly, her voice seemed a bit blurry and ethereal, whether far or near.

Bell said with a smile: "Xian'er, what you said is so good, you can even become a philosopher!"

Liu Xian'er smiled sheepishly and said, "How can it be...what you said is too exaggerated..."

Bell shook his head and said: "Xian'er, I'm not exaggerating. However, I think you'd better not become a philosopher, otherwise there will be one less movie queen in the world!"

"You're getting more and more exaggerated...I can't imagine winning an Oscar for Best Actress. Just like what you just said, a young actor like me is equivalent to an inconspicuous little player. I don't dare to expect to win an Oscar for Best Actress." ..." Liu Xian'er said sheepishly, "However, Miss Parker is very hopeful of becoming an Oscar-winning actress!"

………………

It is a very stupid thing for a man to talk to a beautiful woman about another woman, even if the other woman is the man's girlfriend, so Bell just laughed, then changed the topic and asked: "Xian'er , it’s already very late in the East, why haven’t you rested yet?”

Liu Xianer wanted to say that it was not just to see your performance at the Goal Award Ceremony, otherwise she would have fallen asleep long ago, but such words flashed through her mind, and she said: " I have a friend who is a Messi fan. She wants me to accompany her to watch the award ceremony tonight. She said she wants to watch Messi win the title of World Footballer for the second time... I didn't expect to see you at the award ceremony. When I win an award, I drop by to give you a call to express my congratulations.”

Bell laughed and said: "That boy Leo is so lucky. There are beautiful women who are his die-hard fans. They stay up late to watch him win the Golden Globe Award!"

Liu Xian'er also smiled and said, "How come you are so sure that the one who likes Messi is a beautiful woman?"

Bell said: "I heard that there is an old saying in the East that people flock together and birds of a feather flock together. Anyone who can become good friends with you, Xian'er, must also be a beautiful woman."

Liu Xian'er was stunned and said in disbelief: "You know such ancient sayings? Also, your Oriental dialect is so good. If I hadn't known you, I would have thought you were an Oriental!"

Bell secretly laughed in his heart, thinking that you really got it wrong. From a spiritual point of view, am I not just an Oriental? The real thing is guaranteed to be genuine.

"To be recognized by Xian'er, it seems that my Oriental dialect is pretty good." Bell said with a smile, "But I heard that Xian'er also speaks English very well!"

Liu Xian'er chuckled and said, "You know this too? But my English is just average. It's just because I lived in the United States for a few years when I was a child, so I can communicate in basic terms in English. But I My best friend who likes Messi, her English is really good, especially her English singing!"

Bell knew who the die-hard Messi fan Liu Xianer was talking about was. In another time and space, he had read some news on the Internet that the inspirational female singer from an ordinary background was a Messi fan. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a fan of Messi. it is true.

However, he would not point it out. After all, he and Liu Xian'er were not too familiar with each other now. If he acted like he knew everything about Dongfang, it would arouse others' suspicion.

He just followed Liu Xian'er's words and said, "Really? To be recognized by Xian'er, her voice must be the sound of nature. I will definitely appreciate it when I get the chance."

………………

The two chatted for a while, and Bell took the initiative to end the conversation after seeing that it was getting late.

Before hanging up the phone, Liu Xianer warmly invited Bell to go to the East when there were no games in the summer, and Bell readily agreed.

Not surprisingly, he is indeed going to the East in the summer. It is not that Manchester United is going to play a warm-up match in the East, but according to the news sent back by his representative at Dagu Company, the boss of Dagu Company is seeking a third round of financing. Just in the summer. As one of the company's major shareholders, Bell will inevitably be present when the time comes.

But Bell couldn't guarantee whether he would have time to visit Liu Xian'er by then.

Until before going to bed, Bell still had a very unexpected feeling. He never expected that he would receive a call from Liu Xian'er that night.

However, Bell didn't think much and soon fell on the bed and fell asleep.

At the same time, reporters from major media outlets around the world are busy writing the final results of tonight's FIFA Ballon d'Or Awards into news, either posting them online or printing them in newspapers that will be available tomorrow.

The first big news in international football this year is being brewed in full swing!

………………

The next morning, the whole world was in a frenzy because of what happened at the awards ceremony, but the very serious official media in various countries reported the relevant news from a neutral stance.

Xinhua News Agency reported on the 11th that since the establishment of the FIFA Player of the Year award, this is the first time that the award has been awarded to a player who did not win the World Cup that year.

Reuters stated that Messi is indeed the best player in the world. Maybe sometimes a genius will steal the spotlight from the team, and his brilliance comes from the tacit understanding and understanding between him and his teammates.

Agence France-Presse stated that last year, FIFA and "France Football" combined their respective World Footballer and Ballon d'Or Awards into one. Therefore, the composition of the judges of the "Golden Ball Awards" has also expanded from pure journalists to Managers and head coaches of all FIFA-affiliated teams.

The German Press Agency wrote that Messi's victory left the Spaniards speechless. Since winning the World Cup in South Africa, Spain has long considered the Ballon d'Or to be in the bag.
