In the end, Manchester City beat Everton 3-2 in this game.
After Ribery assisted Adriano to open the scoring for the team, he received an assist from Villa to complete the goal.
David Silva and Torres, two substitute players, completed the kill in stoppage time and sent Deng Kai distant blessings.
Manchester City has won eight consecutive victories in all competitions!
The next day, UBS officially announced that Deng Kai had become their global spokesperson.
A handsome poster of Deng Kai wearing Manchester City's No. 10 jersey appeared on the front of the UBS building.
And this location is the only way to go to the World Footballer Award Ceremony.
On this day, stars from all over the world come in droves.
Everyone had to look at Deng Kai's huge poster.
One word... envy, jealousy and hate!
December 15th, this ordinary day.
The FIFA annual awards ceremony was held grandly in Basel, Switzerland.
On the red carpet, many stars appeared.
Even Cristiano Ronaldo came to the scene with a happy face.
Because he was selected into the final ten candidates for the World Footballer.
The organizer first announced the Most Improved Award.
The Bahrain national team from Asia won this honor.
They have a population of only 700,000 and only 5,000 registered players.
They only started participating in international competitions in September this year.
However, their ranking increased by 41 places in one year, from 105 to 64.
They are also the first Asian team to win the award.
They had just qualified for the 2004 Asian Cup.
The Fair Play Award was then announced, with Celtic fans recognized by FIFA as winners.
Then there is the FIFA President's Award, which was awarded to war-torn Iraq, which began to encounter the American invasion in March this year.
Next up are several big prizes.
Team of the Year.
Competitive are two teams.
Brazil and France.
In the end, the Brazilian team relied on the halo of last year's World Cup to defeat the French team, which won the Confederations Cup this year, to win the award.
The Brazilian team became the darling of fans around the world.
A World Cup, in this era, has enough influence to radiate for two years.
This is not so fair to players who have outstanding performance in non-big competition years.
This is why Ronaldo is considered to be at least among the top three in this year's World Footballer.
The penultimate award presented was the Miss World Football award.
Swedish star Hanna Ljungberg finished third and received the brass trophy.
Mia Hamm from the American team came in second place and received the silver trophy.
The German star Birgit Prinz was successfully elected as Miss Football World and won the golden trophy.
The stars present gave them warm applause.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, the host interacted with Ronaldo, Zidane and Deng Kai.
Because they are the last three finalists for the super grand prize!
Two Real Madrid superstars surround the Manchester City emperor.
Ronaldo: "I feel sorry for Mia Hamm. She has been Miss World Football twice in a row. She almost completed three consecutive titles!"
Zidane: "Hannah's performance is very good, I hope she can continue her efforts."
Deng Kai: "In fact, Ronnie has no need to regret, because from now on, the world women's football team will usher in the Prinz era."
"I have watched Prinz play and she is talented and very strong. I think she can do what you just said!"
Ronaldo's face darkened: You actually called someone else Ronnie?
Deng Kai: And Ronaldinho is also Ronnie.
The host was stunned: "Kay, you mean...Prinz will be elected Miss World Football three times in his career?"
Prinz was surprised. She didn't expect that Deng Kai, "one of the best players in the world", would speak so highly of her.
Men's football and women's football are different.
The level of men's football is much higher than that of women's football, and so is its influence.
So although she is the Miss Football World, Prinz is also a fan of many male stars.
Prinz was very grateful to Deng Kai for encouraging her: "In fact, I knew about Deng Kai when he debuted. The Germans were the first to know about this Caesar."
Hahaha.
Everyone smiled knowingly.
Football Caesar... This is Deng Kai's first title, which means football emperor.
Mostly ridiculed.
But now...he has become the true football emperor.
At the very least, he is already the emperor of Manchester City.
However, Deng Kai shook his head: "No, no, no, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Prinz will be elected Miss World Football three times in his career."
"The accurate wording should be, I think Prinz will be elected Miss World Football three times in a row in his career!"
Deng Kai finished speaking.
There was an uproar.
Three times in a row?
Do you think this is the Portuguese Cup champion?
So simple?
Of course, Deng Kai doesn't need to explain.
Because Prinz's career was so brilliant.
Not surprisingly, she was elected Miss World Football in 2003, 2004, and 2005.
In her career, she won the German Football Miss eight times, the Bundesliga top scorer four times, the Women's World Cup twice, the Women's European Cup five times, the Women's Champions League three times, the Bundesliga champion nine times, and the German Cup ten times!
The host rounded up the conversation.
But the atmosphere at the scene still became a bit strange.
Finally, the awards ceremony for the World Footballer finally officially began under the spotlight.
The super striker from Manchester United and AC Milan's striker Shevchenko are tied for tenth place in the World Footballer!
As soon as Ronaldo joined Manchester United last season, his outstanding performance helped Manchester United return to the top of the Premier League and became the king of the Premier League.
Shevchenko last season, with the support of AC Milan's legendary lineup, counterattacked all the way and finally won the Champions League!
In terms of competitive level and personal honors, the current Ronaldo is far inferior to Shevchenko.
But fame accounts for a large part of the weight of the World Footballer award.
Cristiano Ronaldo benefited from Manchester United's reputation, especially after Beckham left Manchester United in the second half of this year. He inherited almost all of Beckham's "legacy" at Manchester United.
After all, Shevchenko comes from Eastern Europe and is from a disadvantaged background.
In addition, AC Milan is full of stars, taking away a lot of his traffic and credit.
Maldini, Rivaldo, Rui Costa, and even the sudden rise of Kaká have influenced Shevchenko to a certain extent.
This year's tenth place is Shevchenko's ticket.
If he can still have such a strong performance in the future, he will definitely enter the top three.
This is a loss that players who have won the World Footballer and Ballon d'Or awards in the past few times will encounter.
