Chapter 624 Messi reaches the top

Chapter 624 Messi reaches the top

Europe, Principality of Monaco.

In the golden conference hall, there was constant applause and cheers, and the spotlights kept flickering, recording the guests and award-winning players on the stage in the photos one by one.

"In the 2008-2009 season, the best midfielder in the UEFA Champions League was from Barcelona... Xavi Hernandez Creus!"

"Best defender... Barcelona captain, Puyol!"

"Best player...Leo Messi!"

"Best coach... Josep Guardiola!"

On the podium, the award presenters on the rostrum read out the names of the award-winning players one by one.Barcelona, ​​which finally won the Champions League trophy last season, became the biggest winner. They took most of the awards, and the most important player was also won by Messi.

Not only that, but the "world's best" player in the past year was also freshly released. As the core of Barcelona, ​​Messi was also elected with a super high vote result, becoming the real "world's best player".

It is worth mentioning that whenever the guests announced the results and Messi came to the stage to accept the award, the cameras on the scene would find Fan Bizhuang who was sitting in the audience intentionally or unintentionally, as if they wanted to find something "unique" from his face. different" emotions.

Fan Bizhuang knew what these shots were trying to find, annoyed?remorse?Unwilling?There were bursts of exclamations and discussions from time to time. Many coaches and players who came here were sighing. In their opinion, Fan Bizhuang's performance in various competitions last season was also enough. It can be called phenomenal, even better than Messi in many aspects.If it weren't for the incident before the semi-finals of the Champions League, Villarreal might reach the final under the leadership of Fan Bizhuang, and even create a real dark horse legend, but unfortunately, that's just a possibility, in reality However, Messi and Barcelona finally reached the top, and the glory of the Champions League is enough to make the Catalan team the final winner.

Many people were sighing for Fan Bizhuang, but Fan Bizhuang's face was expressionless, he just quietly looked at Messi who was like the most dazzling star on the stage.Under the eyes of everyone, the Argentine raised the trophy high and smiled brightly, like the most favored darling in the football world.

Fan Bizhuang lowered his head slightly, holding the trophy tightly in his hand.

He didn't get nothing, at least 14 goals in the Champions League in a single season, enough to make him unrivaled in the competition for the best striker.

But it is self-evident which one is more important, the best striker, the best in the Champions League, or the best in the world.

There was unwillingness in Fan Bizhuang's eyes, but in the end he could only sigh deeply.

Everything is different.

What he has to do now is to stand up again.

Everything, start over.

"One day, I will come back, and I will... stand here!"

……

In the absence of international competitions, the UEFA Champions League awards ceremony can be said to be the best preview before the award of the European Ballon d'Or. Winning the best player in the UEFA Champions League and the best player in the world can almost be said to advance the European Ballon d'Or before Christmas. Booked.

This also means that Fan Bizhuang lost not only the honor of the best player in the Champions League, but also the chance to win the European Ballon d'Or-in the last season, compared to Messi, Fan Bizhuang was More people are optimistic about being able to reach the top, because from the performance of the league and the Champions League, Fan Bizhuang has always been the one who stabilized Messi.

If you look at the middle of the season, if you want to choose a winner between these two, it must be Fan Bizhuang. Although Messi's performance is also very good, Fan Bizhuang's performance is enough to call it a phenomenon. At the same level, Messi is very strong, but he has an equally excellent team behind him. Fan Bizhuang is different. He uses his excellence to drive the excellence of the entire team. It can be said that Villa Real has reached a point where it can compete with Barcelona.

Comparing the two, it is clear at a glance who is better.

But the season is long, and the momentary victory or defeat doesn't mean anything. Messi kept his good form throughout the season, but Fan Bizhuang "collapsed" at the last moment. Therefore, the Argentine came from behind.

For such a result, Fan Bizhuang was unwilling and had nothing to say.Unreconciled that he could have done better, nothing to say that he screwed it up himself.

After the awards ceremony, there will be the UEFA Champions League group draw for the new season. Fan Bizhuang didn't pay much attention to this. When he walked out of the venue with Molina and Pellegrini, he only remembered that Real Madrid was drawn They were assigned to Group C. The other three teams in this group were AC Milan, Marseille, and Grasshopper Zurich. They were not good or bad, just average.

But outside the venue, Fan Bizhuang and his party were besieged by many reporters.

"Fan, how do you feel about today's awards ceremony? Do you feel unconvinced? Or angry? We all know that you have the opportunity to stabilize the best player. Last season, your performance was not inferior to anyone!"

"What do you think about Messi's big harvest? Do you think that La Liga's double arrogance is not true? Or, there is only one arrogance in La Liga, but that person is not you!"

"Do you admit that Messi is better and better than you?"

"Fan, have you recovered from the blow? Do you think it is possible for you to return to the top?"

All kinds of doubtful or bitter questions lingered in my ears. Fan Bizhuang pushed the reporter away with a look of indifference and walked forward, while Molina protected Fan Bizhuang while shouting, "I'm sorry, Fan's body is a little sick today. Comfortable, no interview!", while opening the car door, after the three of them got in, the car drove away quickly.

The cameras behind him were still flickering, and the reporters recorded the scene of Fan Bizhuang "running away". Although Fan Bizhuang did not accept the interview or make any remarks, the reporters had already prepared the draft in their hearts.

"The competitor is honored, and Fan fled in embarrassment!"

"Fan is not as good as Leo? Fan uses silence instead of answering, which is an alternative default!"

"Fan has lost his spirit, the world football will truly enter the era of Messi!"

"Fan, he is already far away from the peak, and is getting farther and farther away!"

……

Time is like a white horse passing by, spinning forward rapidly.

It has been three months since he returned from the awards ceremony. Fan Bizhuang still trains seriously every day, but his competitive state still seems to be stagnant. Just like what the media reports said, Fan Bizhuang is no longer what he used to be. The magic player who can do everything, his magic and talent, has been worn out.

The football world is changing very quickly. If you can’t maintain a high level of competition all the time, if you can’t let your name occupy the news page from time to time, then the reporters will gradually lose their attention to you, and the fans will also Gradually forget you.

Although the criticism and doubts from the outside world have never stopped, at the beginning, many media and fans still had expectations for Fan Bizhuang, thinking that Fan Bizhuang would soon stand up again and recover his form.

But three months have passed, and Fan Bizhuang still hasn't made much improvement, especially because of his poor condition, he can only sit on the bench most of the time, and most of the time he can't even get a few minutes of playing time. No - with his poor condition, he can appear in the team's 18-man roster, and it is the "love" of the club and Pellegrini.

People are discussing which young talent will be amazing in the new season, people are amazed and cheered for Messi, who can't be stopped by anyone, people are excited for the strength of Barcelona, ​​and they are screaming for the luxurious and bright Real Madrid... Fan Bi Zhuang's name was rarely mentioned, and gradually seemed to be forgotten by people.

Nothing seems to have changed, and everything seems to have changed.

But for Fan Bizhuang, he can only dormant slowly, slowly feeling the passage of time, and slowly looking for his state.He lives hard, trains hard, and waits hard for the opportunity to stand up again—even if he rarely has the chance to play, even if it is only a few minutes, he cherishes it very much.

In these three months, the most shocking event in football was that Messi won the European Ballon d'Or in 2009. If there is no big surprise, the Argentine will also be in FIFA At the awards ceremony, he won the FIFA Ballon d'Or and was crowned World Footballer of the Year.

This is the No.1 Golden Globe winner trained by Barcelona itself, which also indicates that the world football has truly ushered in Catalonia's dream three dynasties. Of course, in the words of most media, "Barcelona's The era has come! The era that belongs to Leo Messi has also arrived! No one can stop the Argentine's footsteps, he will dominate the world with an unrivaled posture!"

Fan Bizhuang was watching the awards ceremony with his teammates in the conference room of the club. When a reporter said the above words excitedly, the expressions of C. Luo and Kaka next to him were all weird. .The former has a look of disdain, obviously very displeased with this passage, because he, who is so proud of Cristiano Ronaldo, has been forgotten by others. Naturally, he has a reason to be displeased, the era of Messi? MD, have you asked his opinion? !

Kaka smiled brightly as usual, but she was also very unconvinced.

Fan Bizhuang didn't know how complicated he watched the whole awards process, but he also felt very uncomfortable.

"I am very happy to win the Ballon d'Or. In fact, it has been my wish since I was a child. Of course, I feel lucky enough, because I know very well that this year's award actually has a year left. I should have had a great chance to get it. Maybe he should stand here. Many people say that the world will enter my era, but what I want to say is that I have never defeated him. So... I Hopefully next year I can still stand here, but most importantly, I hope to beat the best of him and then come here!"

"Maybe he's watching TV, maybe he's not, but I'm sure if he sees it, he'll know what I'm talking about. What I'm trying to say is, if you want to see me always be here at the head of the pack then you go ahead Sink!"

This is Messi's acceptance speech when he held the Golden Globe trophy. When his voice came from the TV, the Real Madrid players in the meeting room immediately cast their eyes on Fan Bizhuang's face.

They all knew who Messi was speaking to.

Fan Bizhuang remained expressionless.

Instead, C. Luo suddenly yelled in the conference room.

"MD, this kid is quite self-aware. He knows that there is another person in the world who is no worse than him! Why are you looking at me like this? That's right, that person is me! I have to work hard. Since this guy has challenged me, Then I have to beat him next year and win the Ballon d'Or again!"

"..."

"..."

C. Luo's self-satisfied shouts, and the look that he is determined to win the Golden Globe next year, are very contagious and passionate, but what he reaps is endless blank stares from his teammates.

Fan Bizhuang shook his head, still silent.
