Chapter 432 Is the Golden Globe Award made of pure gold?
As the Golden Globe Awards were announced, news of the Paris Golden Globe Night quickly spread around the world.
Su Dong successfully defended the Golden Ball Award, which became a hot topic among media and fans around the world.
On major media and television stations around the world, one can see everywhere the scene of Su Dong kissing the Golden Globe Award, as well as photos and interactions between Su Dong and 35 living Golden Globe Award winners at the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony.
Each of these predecessors gave Su Dong extremely high praise, and many even placed high hopes on him, hoping that he could become the most outstanding, most successful, and greatest Ballon d'Or winner in history.
Because he is the youngest Ballon d'Or winner ever!
Elno, editor-in-chief of French Football magazine, also said in the foreword of the latest issue of French Football magazine: "From Stanley Matthews in 1956 to the Soviet Union in 2005, from England to China, the Ballon d'Or has spanned half a century and, in its own way, has answered the history of world football in the past fifty years."
Elno said that throughout the past fifty years of history, the only essence of football is the players, or the people who play football.
The editor-in-chief of France Football magazine also reiterated the selection criteria for the Ballon d'Or, and spoke highly of Su Dong's performance in the past year, which exceeded his performance in 2004, creating a new high in his career and contributing many wonderful games and performances.
"Sudon is an unstoppable player. Watching his games, people are easily reminded of legendary stars such as Maradona, Romario, Van Basten, Zidane and Ronaldo."
"Su Dong has outstanding speed, but his football has surpassed all the speed on the field. His opponents and even his teammates around him can only follow closely behind him."
"He is the leader of this era. He shows us that players can be like this. He interprets the most comprehensive type of center in history!"
…
After Su Dong won the award, Real Madrid's mouthpiece AS was the first to comment, believing that Su Dong was ushering in a new era of world football.
"He has a magical power. Even if they hate his opponents, they can't help but stand up and applaud his wonderful performance. He has won the recognition of all football people in the world. Regardless of age, gender, they are all impressed by his football and intoxicated by his wonderful performance."
AS also stated that France Football Magazine awarded the Ballon d'Or to Su Dong for two consecutive years, which was well deserved.
…
Even the media close to Real Madrid have praised it so highly, not to mention the media close to Barcelona.
Daily Sports also published comments at the first time, saying that Su Dong is writing his own new chapter in Barcelona's history.
"Sudon is one of the most deserving winners in the history of the Ballon d'Or. Not only has he performed well individually, he was also a key figure in Barcelona's La Liga and Champions League double last season."
Daily Sports stated that if Barcelona fans were asked to choose the most important player in the team, Su Dong would definitely be elected.
…
The Vanguard published Cruyff's column as soon as possible.
In the column, the godfather of Barcelona supports Su Dong as always, believing that Su Dong is the best player in world football today, without a doubt. He is the most desperate offensive player for defenders, and also the most troublesome attacker for opponents.
But the Barcelona godfather also reminded Su Dong that his achievements today are inseparable from the support of the entire team.
"Without the support of the team, an individual cannot show his or her talents. When I won awards in the past, I always had the support of a great team behind me. The same is true for Su Dong now."
Cruyff also expressed great confidence that Barcelona is regaining its peak form this season and believes that they will have better performances this season. He looks forward to seeing the day when Su Dong returns to the Golden Ball podium again.
…
In addition to the admiration of media reporters, when Su Dong returned to Barcelona from Paris, fans who had heard the news surrounded the airport. They all praised Su Dong for winning the Golden Ball Award again.
The scene was even a little chaotic at one point, and it was only until the airport security personnel stepped in that order was barely maintained.
Su Dong also interacted with this group of fanatical Barcelona fans on the spot and promised that he would continue to work hard.
“As I said in Paris, I hope to be on that podium again next year!”
There was extremely warm applause at the scene.
Although 2006 is the year of the World Cup, as long as Su Dong shines in the club, who can say that he has no chance?
More importantly, Barcelona currently clearly has a group of outstanding stars, and its overall strength makes all opponents tremble with fear.

After returning home, taking a shower and changing into dry clothes, Su Dong came out to find Messi and Iniesta kneeling on both sides of the coffee table in the living room. On the coffee table was the Golden Ball Award he had just received from Paris.
The two short guys knelt on the ground, their hands on the edge of the coffee table, their chins supported, staring blankly at the golden goal.
Su Dong was very curious. Was the Golden Globe really so magical? Could it still make people obsessed?
"What are you looking at?" Su Dong walked over and asked with a smile.
The two heard the voice, but did not turn around, still looking at the Golden Globe Awards.
"I was wondering, is it solid gold?" Messi asked curiously.
Iniesta on the other side snorted, "Come on, Leo, of course it's pure gold, do you have any common sense?"
"Are you sure it's pure gold?" Messi then raised his head and looked at Iniesta.
"Nonsense, if you don't believe me, try taking a bite." Iniesta was very sure.
"No, no, no!" Seeing that Messi really wanted to take a bite, Su Dong quickly stopped him.
Are you kidding? This is the Golden Ball! Su Dong was planning to collect it and put it together with the two trophies from last year and other trophies.
Take a bite? If people saw this, wouldn't they laugh their heads off? If Messi becomes famous in the future, it would be better. It is said that the superstar Messi personally inspected the goods. The real Golden Ball may even increase in value. But what if Messi does not become famous in the future? Wouldn't it be in vain that he was bitten?
Su Dong is an extremely risk-averse person. Although he is very optimistic about Messi, he still refuses to take this gamble.
"This is indeed pure gold. Although it is not solid, it weighs twelve kilograms," Su Dong explained.
"Twelve kilograms?" Messi and Iniesta were a little surprised.
The two looked at each other, counting on their fingers, what is the current price of gold? How much is one kilogram?
"Su, if you are poor in the future, you can really take a piece of the Ballon d'Or and sell it." Iniesta said with a smile.
Messi nodded continuously, "So it's better to win more games, then we won't have to worry about food and drink in the future."
Su Dong smiled bitterly. What kind of brain circuits do these two little guys have? Do I look like someone who is so poor that he has to sell the gold from the Golden Globe Awards to make a living?
Do you know how many houses I own in China?
Look at how ignorant you are! However, Su Dong completely gave up the idea of arguing with them. His only thought was that these two guys were envious.
It’s nothing, it’s just because they have never won the Golden Globe Award.
"Looking at the craftsmanship, the names on it are quite impressive. They must have been handmade with good craftsmanship." Iniesta looked at it very carefully and even studied the names engraved on it in depth.
Su Dong nodded. "I don't know the details, but I heard it was made by a famous jewelry workshop in Paris. It was all handmade, and even the winner's name was engraved on it. So the work started after the Golden Globe Awards were announced. In addition to the high value of the pure gold itself, it is also a work of art."
"The one they brought to Camp Nou that day seemed a little different from this one." Messi noticed the difference.
"Well, that was a substitute. The real Ballon d'Or that you see before you was not yet finished."
This is something Su Dong only learned in Paris.
The Ballon d'Or that originally appeared on the cover of France Football magazine was just a substitute. Almost every year, the winner of the Ballon d'Or uses it to take photos, and it is usually placed in the editor-in-chief's office of the magazine as a decoration.
The actual Golden Globe Awards don’t come until the night of the awards ceremony.
Of course, the replacement itself has extraordinary commemorative value, as it allows me to take photos with so many Ballon d'Or winners.
"In the future, when I have enough money, I will go to Paris to find that workshop and make one myself." Iniesta said with a smile, and pointed at the one in front of Su Dong, "It must be bigger and more beautiful than this one."
Su Dong and Messi both burst out laughing. This kid's train of thought is quite interesting.
"Instead of doing that, it's better to work harder and try to get one for yourself."
"How can it be that easy?" Xiao Bai shook his head and sighed, "Just look at the Ballon d'Or selection process and you'll know. Forwards are the most popular. For someone like me, it's basically impossible, unless I can be like Ronaldinho."
But how could Iniesta become Ronaldinho? "There is definitely a chance. If it doesn't work out, then winning the Silver Ball or the Bronze Ball would be great too," Su Dong encouraged.
Messi then said, "But the prices of silver and copper are much cheaper than gold."
Su Dong burst out laughing.
Damn it, after all this talk, he still wants to sell it! "Okay, if you have the ability, you can take a few more and sell them slowly!"
Su Dong patted Messi's head in annoyance, took the Golden Ball from the coffee table, and put it into his own collection room with great care.
Here are placed all the awards he has won throughout his career. Although it has only been a few years, there are surprisingly many awards.
The most eye-catching ones are undoubtedly the two Ballon d'Or awards and the FIFA World Player of the Year.
Now, Su Dong moved the two awards from last year a little bit and put this year's Golden Globe Award up there.
"There happens to be an empty seat next to it. In December, I can go to Zurich and bring back the World Footballer of the Year award. That would be perfect," Messi praised with envy.
How long would it take for him to have his own collection room like Su Dong? Iniesta nodded hurriedly, his eyes full of envy.
