Young Football Player

On April 12, the 2015 Laureus World Sports Awards kicked off at the Shanghai Grand Theater on Renmin Avenue in Huangpu District.

Although the Lawrence Award is not friendly enough for team events, it does have enough weight. Li Chenglong found many people in the football field at the scene.

There are Cantona, Guthry, Bierhoff, Capello and other famous football players, as well as representatives of the German national team led by Joachim Loew, and the Schalke 04 club led by Clemens Tenis represent.

This time the German team and Schalke 04 are competing with each other. One of them is last year's World Cup champion team and the other is last year's Champions League champion team. Both of them were nominated for the best team award.

"Bruce, long time no see." Schalke Chairman Tenis came to hug him with a smile on his face as soon as he saw Li Chenglong.

Last summer, Tenis very much hoped that Jackie Chan would stay with the team for another year and help Schalke win the Bundesliga championship.

But Li Chenglong was determined to leave, and there was nothing he could do about it, but this incident still somewhat displeased him, and we hadn't contacted for a long time.

But now that so long has passed, he basically sees it.

Li Chenglong stayed on the team, even if all members of last season's championship team stayed on the team, it may not really win against Bayern. After all, Bayern has indeed dominated the Bundesliga in the past two years.

In addition, Schalke 04 has the Champions League champion but not the Bundesliga champion.

Before the awards ceremony started, this place was a large social venue, and Li Chenglong met and greeted each other with a bunch of people he knew and didn't know.

In fact, those who can appear here are basically the top group of people from all walks of life in the sports world. It is also very good to meet each other, and maybe there will be an intersection at some point in the future.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the award ceremony officially began.

At the beginning, the national anthem was played, and then the local mayor gave a speech, followed by a cultural performance, and then the host appeared.

Tonight's host is Benedict Cumberbatch, also known as Juan Fu, the actor who played the protagonist Sherlock Holmes in "Sherlock", and he also became popular all over the world because of this role.

Juan Fu spoke a bit of embarrassing English-style humor that was not very funny on stage, and then started to get to the point, first introducing the major events in the world sports world in the past year.

Although there are not many awards for football players in this awards ceremony, football, as the world's number one sport, still occupies a considerable space in the one-year review video.

Therefore, there are quite a lot of pictures about Jackie Chan, which repeatedly appeared on the big screen at the scene.

The quarter-finals of the Champions League wore hats at the Parc des Princes in Paris, Madrid scored twice in the semi-finals, the lore in the final and the final lore with face.

There are also his hats on the bench in the World Cup, and the free kick against Greece in the top 16.

Among the major football events last year, the World Cup and Schalke 04's Champions League dark horse have attracted the most attention, and Jackie Chan has played an important role in this.

After a ten-minute review of the world sports world, the awards will be formally presented.

The first award is the best team award. In addition to the German national team and the Schalke 04 club, the San Antonio Spurs who won the NBA championship, the Swiss tennis team that won the Davis Cup, and the F1 team won the nominations. The Mercedes-Benz team that won the Grand Prix, and the European golf team that won the Ryder Cup.

The best team award is the most awarded in football.

Since the establishment of the award, in addition to all previous World Cup champions, Manchester United won the Triple Crown in 1999, the French team won the European Cup in 2000, the Greek team won the European Cup in 2004, and the Barcelona team won the Champions League in 2011. , the 2013 Champions League Champions Bayern Munich, they are all former best team winners.

This year's best team award is basically the German Civil War, the German national team and the Schalke 04 club. Both teams have the capital to win.

One is the World Cup champion, who was always guaranteed to win in the past, and the other is the very inspirational champion of the new UEFA Champions League, which surprised the whole world last summer.

Henry Cavill, who played Superman, came on stage as the guest of honor, and in the end the World Cup champion defeated the Champions League champion.

In fact, it is a pity for Schalke 04. If they achieved this achievement in a non-World Cup year, they would definitely win the award.

After the best team award, there was an introduction to famous Chinese sports figures, including Yao Ming, Liu Xiang and so on.

Then the special contribution award was presented, and American sprinter Michael Johnson handed over the trophy to Li Na.

For the Sports Fund for Good Award, Guthrie presented the trophy to an organization in Afghanistan called the Skateboarders League.

The best female athlete was awarded by Ethiopian long-distance runner Genzebe Dibaba, and Cantona was the guest of honor.

This was followed by a short cabaret and intermission, followed by the presentation of the awards.

The best extreme athlete will be awarded by American skydiver Eustace, with Li Ning as the guest of honor.

Then there is the Best Breakthrough Award, which is really related to Jackie Chan.

In addition to Jackie Chan, the nominees for the Best Breakthrough Award include Croatian tennis player Marin Cilic, Australian Formula racing driver Daniel Ricciardo, American alpine skier Chevrin, and the Swiss Davis Cup tennis team. .

Among these competitors, only Cilic and Ricardo can really compete with Jackie Lee.

Cilic won the first Grand Slam title of his career at last year's US Open, but his highest world ranking was only fourth.

Ricciardo rose to prominence in last year's Formula 1 car, and rarely won three championships from the Mercedes-Benz duo, but he was only third in the annual driver ranking.

In general, Jackie Lee, who led the team to win the Champions League last year, is the biggest favorite.

In addition, the Lawrence Award already favors athletes with great influence like Jackie Lee, so it is indeed a high probability event for him to win the award.

The guest of honor for the Best Breakthrough Award was Li Na, a famous Chinese tennis player. After he took the stage, he quickly pronounced Bruce Lee's name.

"Best Breakthrough Award at the 2015 Laureus World Sports Awards is...Bruce Lee!!"

Hearing his name as he wished, Li Chenglong got up and hugged the old John next to him, and then went to the stage to accept the award.

"Thanks to Lawrence Sports Academy and the organizers. I am very happy to receive this award. This is the greatest recognition of my hard work in the past year. Thank you very much!!"

Li Chenglong just said thank you briefly, but he used Chinese.

To accept the award in China, of course he must make good use of his advantage of being able to speak Chinese.

In the warm applause of the audience, Lee Chenglong stepped down with the trophy.

The trophy is a silver villain with hands held up at forty-five degrees to the sides, and there is also a semi-circular circle that comes down completely from the villain's hands to the feet.

After the Best Breakthrough Award, there was another song and dance performance. After the song and dance performance, there was a small interactive session. Juan Fu played table tennis with the former table tennis queen Deng Yaping on the stage.

Obviously, Juan Fu is not an opponent at all, so he renews the challenge.

"Okay, I admit defeat, I admit that I am not an opponent of the Olympic champion, because I am not professional, so I want to challenge a table tennis player who is also non-professional."

"Bruce, I'm talking about you. You come up. I heard that you have lived in China for many years. Then I will challenge you to table tennis."

"Maybe I can't beat a Chinese, but I can try to beat half of them."

This was a pre-arranged script, and Li Chenglong knew it very well, so he went on stage to perform in cooperation.

In fact, Li Chenglong has never touched table tennis since he was reborn, and he is very unfamiliar with the racket after he got started, while Juan Fu seems to have practiced in surprise, and the two of them really played back and forth.

The two played three balls, and then Juanfu won 2:1.

"Haha, I knew it, I can do it, I beat half of the Chinese." Juan Fu was very happy after winning.

"Hey, Sherlock, I just haven't touched that thing for too long. If you challenge football, I only need two steps to pass you." Li Chenglong also directly called him Sherlock, because he is the famous "Detective" Sherlock.

"Really? I don't believe it. Well, when we get back to London, we'll go to the Emirates Stadium to compete. I don't believe you can pass me in two steps."

As an Englishman, Curly is naturally a football fan. He once said on the show that his favorite team is Arsenal.

And Jackie Chan has a deep relationship with Arsenal, so he specifically said to challenge at the Emirates Stadium.

After a short episode, the award presentation will continue.

The next best comeback award went to South African rugby player Schalke Berg.

Then the Best Disabled Athlete Award, the American wheelchair racer McFadden won the award, and the South Korean beauty Ha Ji-won awarded the award.

Then the most important Best Male Athlete Award was won by Serbia's tennis king Djokovic.

Li Chenglong was also shortlisted for this award, but he was completely accompanying him, and he never thought he would win the award.

At the end of the award presentation, a sportsmanship award was prepared for Yao Ming, which can be regarded as a temporary consolation prize.

That's it, the 2015 Laureus Awards are over.
