Chapter 467 Trip to Zurich
World Footballer of the Year.
This award was established by FIFA in 1991. The winner will receive the title of "World Footballer of the Year" and become the world-recognized best player. For football players, this is always an extraordinary honor.
The football players who have been elected as the World Footballer of the Year are all players who have performed extremely well in a year. Among these extremely outstanding players, the best one is selected to become the World Footballer of the Year. There is only one winner of the honor every year, so you can imagine that the value of this honor is extremely high.
Since this honor is of extremely high value and is a very important award, its selection criteria are also very strict.
In November of each year, the football associations of all continents and countries will submit to FIFA a list of players who have performed outstandingly in all clubs and national teams during the year. FIFA will then comprehensively judge the best candidates based on each player's performance in the club and national team during the year.
The requirements for the selection of this honor are also very strict. The candidates are selected by voting by the head coaches and captains of the national teams under FIFA. Each person has three places, but cannot choose members of the national team he or she coaches (for example, McLaren thinks that the best player in the world is Wang Li, but he cannot vote for Wang Li).
The first choice player gets 5 points, the second choice player gets 3 points, and the third choice player gets 1 point. Based on the comprehensive evaluation, the player with the highest score can get this honor.
Although FIFA has not had any official statements or clauses, some patterns can still be found from the annual evaluation criteria.
In World Cup years, the selection of "World Footballer of the Year" mainly depends on the World Cup record of each player's national team and the player's personal performance in the World Cup. In non-World Cup years, the main criterion for the selection is the performance of the player's club in the European Champions League.
Last season, due to his outstanding performance in the club, Chelsea also won the European Champions League, which made Wang Li's reputation soar. Although he was suspended for more than half a year, but with his performance in the first half of the year, he still made it into the final three of the World Footballer of the Year.
Although the other two players did not perform as well as Wang Li in the first half of the year, they were not suspended and their playing time was half more than Wang Li's.
Ronaldinho was last year's World Footballer of the Year. He is Barcelona's star player. Last season, thanks to Gerrard's outstanding performance, Liverpool also reached the Champions League final. At the same time, the two of them also had good performances in the national team. Therefore, the selection of the World Footballer of the Year this time is like a fog and it is difficult to understand. Generally speaking, the three are almost the same and anyone of them has the possibility of winning the title.
So, while the Spanish media were still marveling at Wang Li's Spanish debut, they immediately turned their attention to Zurich, Switzerland, where the final winner of this year's "World Footballer of the Year" will be announced tonight.
For the media, no matter who wins the World Footballer of the Year, it is just an honor for one person. They are also paying attention to the draw ceremony for the European Championship finals.
This draw is related to the matchups of the European teams that qualify from the group stages in the round of 16. Every media outlet in Europe is not neutral, and all of these sports media outlets have their own teams they support, so this matchup draw is what they pay the most attention to.
At 1 o'clock in the afternoon of that day, Wang Li and Angela rushed to the Real Madrid Club together, and then took a connecting flight of Real Madrid to Zurich, Switzerland with the club president Florentino, the team's head coach Carlo, the team's director Martinez and Zidane.
On this day, the small square in front of the Zurich Opera House was very lively. It became a paradise for journalists, media and fans. Many local Swiss fans came here not to enjoy the opera, but to find an opportunity to meet the stars, ask for autographs and take pictures.
Aragorn was one of them.
He is only 14 years old this year and still a middle school student. When he learned that this year's European Champions League group draw ceremony and the FIFA World Footballer of the Year award ceremony would be held here, he and his friends came here together.
In fact, Aragon was always looked down upon because of his poor football skills.
The football atmosphere in Switzerland is very strong, and children from ordinary families have been exposed to this sport since childhood.
However, due to Aragon's late physical development, he is only 1.5 meters tall, which is quite short among teenagers of the same age. Aragon is also a bit cowardly, so he is always bullied by his classmates and has no good performance on the court.
However, Aragon is a very loyal football fan, and his favorite is the local Zurich team.
But like other children of normal age, although they like local players very much, they also yearn for football in the world's top leagues such as the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, etc. Although many of them have never met those stars, they are familiar with their appearance, names, and technical levels. For these little guys, this is necessary common sense to mix in the "fan team".
And this time, they seem to have the opportunity to get close to these stars.
However, when they arrived at the door of the Zurich Opera House, their mood became terrible, because at this time, the door was already crowded with people, and the few of them were really not conspicuous among them. Even if a star appeared, he could probably only sign autographs for the few people in front.
They have little hope.
"Aragon, you want to get the star's autograph?"
At this time, a sturdy-looking boy came over, and there were a few people beside him, all with mocking looks on their faces.
Seeing the boy, Aragon's face looked a little timid. He lowered his head and said nothing, but a short-haired boy next to him couldn't help but said, "Peter, don't be complacent. We don't have autographs, and you can't get them either."
"Well, let's wait and see."
When Peter heard this, he turned around and looked at the large group of fans around him. He felt a little annoyed, and then he squeezed into the crowd with others.
"Otherwise, let's go back." After Peter and his group left, a little boy looked at the people around him and said.
The other people thought the same thing. With so many fans at the entrance of the opera house, it was too difficult to squeeze to the front, not to mention getting the autographs of the stars, which was almost impossible for them.
However, Aragorn still wanted to stay. He wanted to try his luck. Although he was a little timid towards Peter, he was also indignant in his heart, "Can't I get an autograph?"
So after his friends left, he walked around the next block by himself, hoping that "a pie would fall from the sky" and hit him, allowing him to run into a basketball star he knew and get his autograph.
This kind of thing is almost harder than winning the five million dollar jackpot, but after Aragon turned a block, he really saw a very familiar figure.
"Alan Wang...???" He opened his mouth in surprise.
Aragon likes Wang Li very much, and he watches Wang Li's game videos every day.
Two months ago, he saved up a month's pocket money and bought a large photo of Wang Li on the court and hung it on the head of his bed. He would look at it every night before going to bed and every morning when he got up, so he was very familiar with Wang Li's figure.
But Aragorn didn't dare to confirm it at this time, because there was a very beautiful woman next to that man, and both of them were wearing baseball caps and sunglasses to cover their faces.
When Wang Li and Angela arrived in Zurich, it was still a little early. Angela wanted to visit this beautiful city, so Wang Li accompanied her to walk around the streets.
However, even in Zurich, Wang Li still needs to hide himself, because there are also a large number of fans in Switzerland who know him, and his reputation is already world-class.
At this time, the two had just walked out of a shopping mall, and Wang Li had a few handbags in his hands, but he didn't expect that he would still be recognized. Practicing the Taoist's top internal skill Xiao Wuxiang Gong made Wang Li become sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. Although the sound coming from behind was very small, he still heard it clearly.
So he subconsciously turned around and saw the little boy behind him.
But the next moment, he wanted to pull Angela and "escape". If they were recognized by the fans here, they would be in a lot of trouble. You know, this is a commercial district with a lot of people. And because it is next to the Zurich Opera House, there are many fans near the district.
But the little boy did not scream, so Wang Li immediately made an internationally accepted gesture for silence at him. Seeing that the other party nodded, the two looked at each other and then breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Aragon was already stunned. He never dreamed that he would see his favorite star here.
Seeing Wang Li asking him to be quiet, Aragon nodded subconsciously, and then thought of the purpose of his coming to the block. He took out a notebook that he had prepared long ago and was about to step forward, but he saw Wang Li pointing to the street corner. Aragon was very smart, he immediately understood and turned to walk towards the street.
看到这个瑞士小男孩这么聪明，再加上王利的心情也不错，于是他便给了阿拉贡一个签名，安琪拉还为两人照了张照片，把底片交给了他。
等到王利和安琪拉走了之后，阿拉贡还觉得自己是身在梦中，他双眼直盯着手里的底片，反应过来后，第一时间飞奔跑去了一家照相馆，洗了很多张照片出来。
“哈哈，我得到了利物浦球星杰拉德的签名。”
当天晚上的时候，阿拉贡一个人在广场里转着，得到了王利的签名、合影让他的心情很好。可他没想到又会碰到彼得一伙人。
看来彼得的运气还不错，他碰到了杰拉德，并要到了一个签名。
看到阿拉贡走过来，彼得拿着那签名，炫耀般的说道：“阿拉贡，看呢，我得到了史蒂文.杰拉德的签名你什么也没得到吧，哈哈，我就知道”
“我有艾伦的亲笔签名，还和他合影了。”
面对彼得嘲笑般的质问，阿拉贡并没有再怯懦的低下头，而是挺起胸脯大声说道，他稚嫩的脸上满是骄傲的神色，看起来一副充满信心的样子。
彼得从来没见过阿拉贡这么神情，他心里有些疑惑，不过随即反应过来阿拉贡话里的意思，进而对旁边的伙伴大笑道：“哈哈哈，这小子又在做白日梦了，我们根本就没看到艾伦的影子。”
“是真的”阿拉贡憋红了连大吼道。
从来没见过阿拉贡愤怒的彼得有些被吓住了，不过他仍是不相信的道：“那签名在哪里？你不是在吹牛吧？”
于是，阿拉贡便拿出了签名和合影给彼得一伙人看，几人都是目瞪口呆，旋即对阿拉贡羡慕不已，很快几人便开始听阿拉贡讲述他遇到王利，并得到签名合影的‘悬疑故事’。
晚上回到家之后，他便把床头的那张王利的照片换下，换成了自己和王利的合影。
这个晚上或许是他最幸福的一天。
就在阿拉贡还沉浸在美好之中的时候，苏黎世歌剧院内，欧洲冠军联赛的分组抽签已经开始了。
在全世界很多体育电视台的现场直播下，由各个嘉宾上台依次上前给各个球队抽取了对手的号码牌，王利也被邀请帮助切尔西抽取对手，这个邀请实在让切尔西的主帅穆里尼奥尴尬不已，但是却赢得其他人的欢笑。
当王利从箱子里抽出对应的号码之后，全场所有的镜头都对准了他的右手。
“哦MyGodAC米兰”
听到这个名字，穆里尼奥气的差点把牙齿咬碎了
在上赛季，切尔西在欧冠八强对抗的时候，对手就是AC米兰，虽然上赛季的交手中，切尔西两回合轻松战胜了AC米兰，但那更多的是因为王利的个人表现实在太出色了。
而现在，王利已经属于皇家马德里，AC米兰却比上赛季还难啃，16强就遇到这种对手，实在是对切尔西的一个重大考验。
“看到卫冕冠军切尔西遇到了个不错的对手，我们很期待这场两个豪门球队之间的对决，这必定是一场精彩的比赛。”这时候，主持嘉宾还不忘慢慢解说道。
不过，这话听到穆里尼奥心里，怎么也不好受。
AC米兰众人却对这个结果颇为满意，上赛季被切尔西在八强赛轻松淘汰，一直是米兰球迷心中的痛，而现在他们有机会报仇了。
第一轮遭遇卫冕冠军，安切洛蒂并没有太大的压力，因为现在切尔西已经没有了王利，他不用再为这个烦恼了，而他也有信心战胜切尔西，毕竟少了王利，切尔西的实力至少下降了一个档次。
至少安切洛蒂是这么认为的。
实际上，所有人都看的出来，因为现在的切尔西在英超联赛中，绝没有上赛季那么强势，他们虽然是英超的第一名，但也只拉开曼联2个积分罢了，这和上赛季的31轮比赛，胜30平1的表现相去甚远。
之后，史蒂文.杰拉德被邀请上前帮助皇家马德里选择对手。
于是，他抽中了枪手阿森纳。
皇家马德里一行人对这个对手没什么太大感觉，可是台下的温格，气的差点直接上前和杰拉德来一场真人PK
在上个赛季，阿森纳已经饱受王利摧残，这个夏天，温格在听到王利转会皇马之后大大松了口气，可现在阿森纳又遇上了皇马，那么就又必须要研究怎么去对付王利。
当听到“皇家马德里”这个名字的时候，温格甚至觉得阿森纳没什么希望了，如果他能想出怎么限制王利的方法，上赛季也不会和切尔西三次交手，三次全都大比分失败了。
想到这里，温格非常失落，他觉得阿森纳算是最倒霉的了。
当穆里尼奥看到阿森纳抽中了皇马的时候，这个葡萄牙人终于笑了出来，虽然切尔西的对手很强，但是皇马可不比AC米兰差，而且穆里尼奥非常了解王利，他知道阿森纳碰到王利，几乎就是无解啊。
一支本来就不擅长防守的球队，面对王利这种带起球来一、两个后卫根本防不住的球员，要怎么打？
在穆里尼奥看来，这实在太难了。
如果是切尔西对上皇马，根据对王利的了解，他还能布置出几种方式来限制王利的发挥，可是以阿森纳的踢球风格，想要研究出限制王利发挥的战术，实在太难了。
最重要的是，阿森纳的后防线太脆弱了
经过几轮抽签之后，对阵结果表终于出来了：
蓝军切尔西碰到了意甲冠军AC米兰；德甲老大拜仁慕尼黑遭遇了西甲的巴塞罗那；皇家马德里的对手，则是枪手阿森那；
这三场对抗无疑是16强最引人注目的对抗，其他的还有就是云达不莱梅VS尤文图斯；埃因霍温VS里昂；阿贾克斯VS国际米兰；本菲卡VS米德尔斯堡；比利亚雷亚尔VS流浪者。
这个对阵表一出来，现场几乎所有人都觉得欧足联在里面做了手脚。
16支球队中，皇马、巴萨、AC米兰、阿森纳、拜仁、切尔西这六支球队的实力绝对处在第一团队里，其他还有就是国米、里昂、尤文图斯都有些实力，但是现在，这六支球队却两两相遇了，这无疑给16强的赛事多了很多看点。
不过，这些王利的就不关心了，对于阿森纳这个对手，他已经非常了解，在看到杰拉德抽中阿森那的那一刻，他就知道皇马能够轻松晋级了。
至少，他觉得以阿森纳那条悲剧的后防线，想要限制他的发挥，实在有些难度。
对这一点，他很有自信，他的实力一直都在进步着。
欧冠的16强抽签仪式结束之后，便是对现场球员来说最重要的环节，也是他们今天来参加这个仪式的最重要原因---国际足联公布世界足球先生的评选结果以及颁奖仪式。
这时候，一个漂亮的主持人上台宣布世界足球先生颁奖仪式开始，转而大厅的变的一片漆黑，舞台上的大屏幕亮了起来。
最开始，屏幕上显示的是一个穿着英格兰队球衣的球员，他脸上闪现着坚韧和不屈，那正是史蒂文.杰拉德。经过几个英格兰国家队比赛的画面后，屏幕就开始播放杰拉德在俱乐部的精彩表现视频，其中包括进球、助攻以及各类的表现的很多镜头，还有专业分析人士在介绍他在利物浦队所起到的作用。
总之，这短片不仅仅是一个进球晋级，介绍中还有关于杰拉德个人表现的全面分析。
画面的最后，正是利物浦输给切尔西的那一幕。
杰拉德上前领取冠军杯的银牌奖励，在讲台上，他和巴尔先生握手后，满脸的泪痕，都说男人有泪不轻弹，可这是自杰拉德加入利物浦后，第一次有希望登顶欧洲至尊的机会，但他们却失败了，而且是一场毫无悬念的失败。
这让杰拉德万般无奈的同时，也对输掉这场决赛尤为痛心。
在杰拉德的短片之后，就是罗纳尔迪尼奥的比赛视频，相比样貌英俊的杰拉德，罗纳尔迪尼奥就逊色多了，恐怕一般人第一眼看到他，都会觉得是个外星人种。
不过，罗纳尔迪尼奥的表现，却比杰拉德精彩的多，不仅仅是进球方面，他在球场上那瞬间的反应，以及充满想象力的动作，都给人以一种震撼的感觉
作为巴塞罗那的第一球星，罗纳尔迪尼奥的状态正处在一个巅峰期，他的能力毋庸置疑。
如果说刚才看杰拉德的短片，给现场众人一份感动的话，看了罗纳尔迪尼奥的比赛视频，则给人一种精彩至极的**。
当短片结束之后，现场响起了一阵掌声，这是喜爱足球的人士，对真正球星表现的认可。
当屏幕又漆黑一片的那一瞬间，王利有些兴奋和激动，他紧拉着旁边安琪拉的小手，双眼不眨的盯着屏幕，安琪拉也轻抚着他的后背。
At this time, the background of the big screen became Stamford Bridge Stadium.
The most eye-catching thing on the court was a black-haired boy standing in the center circle with his hands raised high. Inspired by this heroic action, almost all the fans in the stadium were cheering loudly, as if they were celebrating the enthronement of a king of the court.
In front of this black-haired boy, there was a young man with a "resolute" look "worshipping", which made people feel more convinced.
Wang Li almost laughed out loud when he saw this picture. It was a joke Thomas played on him after he scored a goal in a league match. However, although Thomas was a 'sleazy' person, this picture appeared very resolute in front of the camera, which gave Wang Li a weird feeling.
The short hair that starts with this picture is indeed alternative, and what follows is Wang Li’s wonderful goal video.
Unlike the previous two, Wang Li’s short film is almost entirely composed of goal shots, because he has scored so many wonderful goals, and also because as a striker, his highlight is scoring goals.
However, whenever there are a few scenes of him quickly passing people on the court, there will be amazement from the audience. His extreme speed is already very shocking, and the agile temperament under the extreme speed is really very rare.
This kind of running seems to make people feel that he is born with a graceful temperament, giving people endless imagination.
The entire short film lasted five minutes, which was longer than the previous two videos, but no one in the audience got tired of watching it. Wang Li's goal videos were varied and there were all kinds of shocking ways, which made people not feel bored and watched them with great interest.
After the three short films were played, the lights on the stage came back on, and the host announced: "Now, please welcome Mr. Blatter, the President of FIFA, to announce this year's World Footballer of the Year."
Then, applause immediately broke out from the stands to welcome Blatter to the stage.
As the president of FIFA, Blatter is very busy and originally had no time to attend this kind of award ceremony. However, he happened to return to Switzerland during this period, so he came to attend this ceremony.
Blatter is 69 years old, but the Swiss-born old man still looks very capable. He walked onto the stage very steadily and stood in front of the microphone. He first spoke a lot of boring official language, and then got to the point, praising the performances of Gerrard, Wang Li and Ronaldinho respectively, and then he announced---
"After voting by head coaches and team captains from all over the world, this year's World Footballer of the Year is..."
In order to adjust the atmosphere, Blatt paused here, then looked around with a smile. At the same time, Wang Li was also very nervously waiting for that moment.
"......Alan Wang"
At the same time, everyone's eyes turned to Wang Li, and Wang Li excitedly hugged Angela until the latter cried out and then let go of his hands.
At the same time, everyone in the hall applauded, even Gerrard and Ronaldinho. Although they were a little disappointed about not being elected, compared with Wang Li's performance, they were mentally prepared for this.
After Blatter’s announcement, the awards ceremony will begin.
At this time, the staff brought a tray to represent the trophy for the World Footballer of the Year. It was a round trophy in the shape of a small globe with longitude and latitude lines drawn on it, and a person playing football. There was a blue depression on one side with the English letters "2005 WORLD PLAYER" written on it.
"Young man, you performed very well. I am very happy to present the award to you in person." Standing on the podium, Blatter handed the trophy to Wang Li in person and said kindly, "I have seen your performance before. You are very capable. This year is the World Cup year. I hope you can do well in the World Cup."
"Thank you, sir."
Wang Li nodded, expressed his gratitude for Prague's concern, then took the trophy representing the World Footballer of the Year from him, and then turned around and raised it with one hand.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the venue reached its climax.
In front of these football bigwigs in the venue, Wang Li truly became the focus of everyone and won the first meaningful personal honor in his career - the World Footballer of the Year.
