On the evening of January 13, 2015, in Zurich, Switzerland, the FIFA 2014 Awards Ceremony was held.
On this night, no one could match the brilliance of Deportivo.
Watching the Depor players appear on the stage like a revolving lantern, many people present were reminded of the celebration ceremony of Barcelona's six crowns. The current Depor is exactly the same as the Barcelona then.
The best lineup is 4-3-3, with Depor occupying 5 seats.
Goalkeeper: Navas.
Defenders: Ramos, Zhang Linpeng, Thiago Silva, Lahm.
Midfielder: Riquelme, Kaka, Iniesta.
Forwards: Wu Lei, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Puskas Award belongs to Ronaldo, whose wonderful turning volley in the World Cup became the most exciting goal of 2014.
As for the best coach award, there is no suspense.
Although Loew won the 2014 World Cup, he still lost to Yunsheng.
The World Cup champion comes once every four years, but the six-time champion is the only one in history!
But what is very regrettable is that today, almost all General Deportivo were present, but Yun Sheng was not here.
Guti stepped onto the podium to accept the award on behalf of Yun Sheng and delivered his acceptance speech.
Although Yun Sheng's absence seemed a bit rude and regretful, no one blamed him.
And ten minutes later, the highlight of this ceremony finally came!
The top five selections for the Golden Globe Awards have already been announced.
Kaka, Wu Lei, Ram, Messi, Ronaldo!
Kaká was the absolute core of Depor's six-time champion last season. He repeatedly destroyed the city in La Liga and provided wonderful assists. In the Champions League, he also won the honor of the Champions League's top scorer and assist leader. A month ago, he also won the World Cup. The honor of the best player in the Club Cup. Throughout 2014, Kaka made great contributions in countless important games and was the strongest king of Depor!
Wu Lei beat Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to top the La Liga scorer list last season. He also scored a lot of goals in the Champions League, Copa del Rey and other competitions. As an outstanding striker in the post-Meiro era, Wu Lei is a rising star in international football. Rising star!
Lahm was the captain of the Bundesliga double champions and the World Cup champion team last season. With his outstanding and stable performance, he spent a successful 2014 as a double captain!
Messi and Ronaldo were still in excellent form last season.
Cristiano Ronaldo led Real Madrid to keep moving forward, but they were just one step away from the Champions League final.
Messi's regret is even greater. He led the team to the World Cup finals, and in the end was only a little bit behind the Champions League.
Although the two did not win a championship of sufficient importance in 2014, their wonderful performance and leadership status in their respective teams still aroused the admiration of fans all over the world.
In fact, there were many players who performed well in 2014, such as Riquelme, Zhang Linpeng, and Navas of Depor, Ramos and Iniesta of the Spanish team, and Gotze and Toni Kroos of the German team. Waiting for the stars, but they are still slightly inferior to the top five.
The guest of honor was AC Milan star Paolo Maldini. The old man walked up to the podium, opened the note, and immediately smiled.
Just this smile, the result is self-evident.
"2014 Ballon d'Or winner - Kaká!"
The audience burst into applause!
Kaka stood up and hugged Wu Lei beside him, who also sincerely congratulated him.
Walking by in turn, Ram, Messi, and Ronaldo all extended their warm hands to Kaka in a friendly manner, their eyes full of respect and recognition.
Especially Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, both of whom have won two Ballon d'Or trophies, are looking forward to their third trophy. No matter who wins the award, they feel a little bit unwilling inside.
Except for Kaka.
Kaka shook hands with Messi and Ronaldo, and they both stood up to show respect.
Countless reporters flashed their flashlights, and this moment was recorded in history.
The next day, many media released this photo and another photo at the same time.
It was the 2007 FIFA Awards Ceremony. Kaka was holding the Ballon d'Or trophy, and Messi and Ronaldo were standing next to the Brazilian genius with green expressions.
At that time, Kaka was called the "new king of football" and the "chosen son" by many media!
In the Champions League semi-finals, Kaka's leading AC Milan defeated Manchester United and even defeated Ronaldo in terms of personal performance. The scene of Kaka scoring a goal against Manchester United's entire defense alone is the helpless pain in the hearts of countless Manchester United fans.
At the national team level, the image of Kaka running with the ball, passing many people in Argentina and then successfully shooting is also one of the classics. Behind Kaká, the equally fast Messi has been chasing after him, but he has never been able to keep up with the Brazilian genius. In the end, he could only watch the ball spinning in the net and sigh with excitement.
Kaka is the best star of this era! Everyone is looking forward to Kaka continuing to lead this era!
But things are unpredictable. Who would have thought that Brazilian stars would fall so quickly?
Just like his predecessors Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, he should have reached higher glory, but had no choice but to leave early...
After moving to Real Madrid, Kaká completely lost himself. The two young people around him at that time started the era of "unparalleled double pride" in international football.
During this period, although Adriano in 2011 and Del Piero in 2012 won the Ballon d'Or, the stability of the "peerless twins" is still praised by the world. No one in this era can match their sustainability. .
But unexpectedly, seven years later, Kaka climbed to the top again, and the smiling Brazilian boy returned!
The video of Kaka's wonderful goal in 2014 was played on the big screen, and Kaka looked on with a smile.
In the first round of La Liga in the 2013-2014 season, Kaká made two passes and one shot to help Deportivo defeat Atletico Madrid 4-2. This was his first game on behalf of Deportivo, a wonderful start.
In the second round of La Liga in the 2013-2014 season, Deportivo was beaten 0-3 by Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, losing by a huge margin at halftime. It was Kaká who was the savior again. He came on as a substitute in the second half and scored four goals, defeating his former club.
In the Champions League quarter-finals against Manchester United, after conceding two goals first, Kaká scored a hat-trick to help Deportivo come back 3-2.
In the Champions League semi-final against Bayern, Kaká scored a hat-trick in the first leg, and in the second leg final, Depor sent Depor to the Champions League final.
In the Champions League final, after Kaka assisted Wu Lei's goal, he scored the winning goal in stoppage time, helping Depor create history.
In the recent Club World Cup final, Kaka scored twice, helping Depor win the sixth championship in 2014.
The scenes flashed by, and Kaka's eyes became a little wet.
2014 was simply the most wonderful year of my life.
It feels so good to climb out of a trough and stand on top of the world again.
Standing in the center of the stage, Kaka said a lot of words of thanks and thanked everyone.
Finally, he pointed his finger towards the east, showing his true feelings.
"I have been able to win so many championships and the Ballon d'Or. The person I should be most grateful to is Coach Yunsheng. If it weren't for the boss's respect for me, I would not have come to Deportivo or stand here."
"Thank you Coach Yunsheng! Thank you for giving me a second precious football life!"
