"This is Paris. It feels no different from England."
The sun was just right at noon, and on the streets of Paris, a black off-road BMW was driving on the roadside.
Samuel was sitting in the passenger seat, in the back seat, with his right hand holding Yuechi Xun, who was shaking his body a little as the car swayed but continued with relish. Chen Mo looked sideways at the buildings passing by outside the window, with some curiosity in his eyes. .
Hearing his words, Henry, who was holding the steering wheel with one hand, smiled and said: "It's not that far away in the first place, it's just across the English Channel."
"That's it."
Chen Mo said casually and continued to look at the scenery outside the window.
He has been in Europe for six years and has made many French friends, but this is his first time in France.
Mainly because he doesn't have much interest in traveling or anything like that. During the offseason, he usually just finds a quiet place to stay with family and friends.
Thoughts were running through his mind, but Henry would get the wrong idea and said with a smile: "Why, how do you give a speech after thinking about winning the award?"
"Please, don't tell me, I think I've already won the award, okay?"
Chen Mo was speechless, and Henry continued to laugh: "If you score three goals in the World Cup final and you still can't win the Ballon d'Or, then I can guarantee that the shady news about the [Golden Ball Award] tomorrow will immediately hit the headlines."
"Who knows, but I care more about tomorrow's Champions League knockout draw than the Ballon d'Or."
Chen Mo shrugged. It's not that he doesn't care about the Golden Globe Award. It's mainly because he has done everything he can. There is no point in thinking about it anymore at this time.
Knowing Chen Mo's character, he turned the steering wheel and turned around an intersection. Henry smiled and said, "I don't know whether I should say that you are heartless or that you have too strong emotional adjustment ability. As for the draw, you should really want to touch Barcelona." .”
"Of course, I still remember the fact that I was defeated last year. However, AC Milan can also do it. That guy Kaká has eaten something this year and his condition is super explosive. Bayern can also do it, and we can compete with Swain again. Steiger fights.”
Chen Mo muttered, which immediately teased Henry again, "Haha, you are really good at picking your opponents. If the boss knew that you were going to draw lots with this kind of mentality, he would probably fly all night to come to Paris."
"Impossible, he is thinking about how to break one euro into two euros and spend it, so he has no time to care about me."
"Hahaha, I just recorded!"
".childish!"
The two chatted and laughed, and soon the car drove to Ronaldinho's mansion.
Yes, Ronaldinho’s mansion.
Ronaldinho played for Paris Saint-Germain before joining Barcelona. With his personality, buying a luxury house is a normal thing.
At the door of the mansion, Messi and Antonella were looking around. When they saw Chen Mo who rolled down the window, a smile appeared on their faces and they stepped forward to say hello.
He is still shy when meeting strangers, and is more restrained in front of Henry.
Henry, who opened the door and got out of the car, also noticed this. After being introduced by Chen Mo and Samuel, he took the initiative to smile and extend his hand to say hello. Then the three of them and their families followed the muttering Messi into the mansion.
Although it is said to be a mansion, it is actually not as luxurious as expected. It is similar to Chen Mo's small red-roofed villa in London. The house is a two-story house with a balcony, and behind it is a small training lawn and swimming pool.
Walking through the house to the backyard, I saw several shirtless men sitting by the swimming pool drinking juice. It was Ronaldinho Xavier Puyol and Ronaldinho's little brother Kaka of the national team.
Hearing the footsteps, Ronaldinho, who was holding a bottle of juice in his hand, stood up with a smile and hugged Chen Mo, "Hey! Big star, you are finally here!"
"Please, what a big star. Kaka, how are you doing recently?"
"We are in a hot state. It is best to pray that the top 16 teams do not hit AC Milan."
"Hahaha, I think you are the one who is worried."
"Hahaha, you still don't forgive me. Hello, Thierry, Samuel, I am Kaka."
"He said you are handsome and wants to fall in love with you."
"Oh, hell, get serious."
Kaka speaks Portuguese, which is similar to Spanish, the official language of Argentina, but Henry, who speaks French and English, can't understand it. Fortunately, there is a little translator like Chen Mo.
Under his guidance, everyone greeted them very warmly.
Just kidding, they are all big names in football. They may not know each other, but as opponents, whether it is personality or characteristics, they probably have a better understanding of them than my wife.
A group of old men were chatting enthusiastically. Yuechi Xun was naturally a little bored. She also had a quiet personality outside and it was not easy to make new friends. However, Antonella had a cheerful personality and was even a little strong. With her help and Chen Mo as a backer, Yue Chixun quickly integrated into the wife group.
During this period, Kaka's wife, Caroline, heard that Yue Chixun was writing a fairy tale. Having watched Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, she also said that she wanted Yue Chixun to write her and Kaka into the story, preferably as a knight-errant.
Two knights with European faces, Yue Chixun no matter how much they want to violate the agreement, they still smile and nod.
Several women were chattering nearby, and a group of old men were sitting by the swimming pool watching variety shows on TV and chatting about some interesting topics. The atmosphere was quite comfortable.
The awards were about to be awarded, and the topic naturally came up with the Golden Globe Awards.
There is no doubt that the favorite to win this year's award is Chen Mo, who completed a hat trick and won the Golden Boot in the World Cup final, but it is not so absolute.
The two biggest individual awards in football are the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or.
The World Footballer of the Year is an award organized by FIFA. Judging from the voting tendency, more emphasis is placed on the international influence of players, and the World Cup is FIFA's son project, so Chen Mo's World Footballer of the Year is definitely not running this year.
But the Golden Globes are different.
The Ballon d'Or is organized by "France Football" magazine. Of course they also attach importance to the World Cup, but they will not use the World Cup as the only judging criterion.
Messi not only scored a free kick that completely killed the game at the last minute of the World Cup final and won the bronze boot, but also won the La Liga and Champions League double at the club level.
From a comprehensive evaluation point of view, Chen Mo's personal data is exploding, but the club's top four honors are missing. Messi's top club honors are just one Copa del Rey short of a Grand Slam, but his data is not as good as Chen Mo's.
Moreover, generally speaking, the winners of such awards will be notified in advance, but this year there was no notification!
When things go wrong, there must be a monster, so no one can say for sure who will win.
Ronaldinho and Puyol Xavi teased Chen Mo to become the only player to score a hat trick in the World Cup finals but fail to win the award.
Somewhat unhappy, but the other party has the strength in numbers.
Originally, he wanted Samuel and Henry to talk to him, but the fierce-looking Samuel smiled and blinked, and continued to eat sausage with his legs crossed, while Henry, who did not understand the language, stared at him. He looked at Chen Mo with slightly confused big eyes.
In this regard, Chen Mo could only lament that Di Maria and Xiao Ma couldn't come together because they had to pick up their wives, so they couldn't speak for him.
His appearance directly made Xavi and others laugh. They were all friends who grew up together. Although they refused to give in to each other on the court and Chen Mo also left Barcelona, the connection between everyone was not completely broken.
After talking about the Golden Globe Awards, it is natural to talk about the Champions League knockout rounds that everyone is most concerned about.
The one with the highest claim to win this year is still Barcelona, currently ranked first in La Liga.
On the front line are Ronaldinho, who has not deteriorated, Messi, who is emerging as a star, and Eto'o, the cheetah.
The midfielder is Xavi who plays as a defensive midfielder, and the two central midfielders Iniesta and Deco.
This midfield and frontcourt lineup with explosive ball control capabilities and two of the world's top corkscrews is killing everyone in La Liga.
Almost every game is a big score, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is overwhelming. Moreover, Barcelona has strengthened the back line this season with Zambrotta, the top five right back in the world.
The front, middle and back lines are all top-notch in the world. Except for Chen Mo, a militant, no team is willing to run into Barcelona in the top 16.
In addition to Barcelona, the only team, Bayern, AC Milan, Liverpool, Chelsea and Chen Mo's Arsenal are next.
These teams all have top players, but they all have their own problems.
Bayern's midfield and backcourt are strong, but they lack a decisive top scorer.
AC Milan's players are too old, Maldini is 38 years old, and after Shevchenko left, AC Milan switched to a 451 single forward formation, while Inzaghi is 33 years old. No matter how much wine is left in the old bottle, no one can take it. Not allowed.
Liverpool's system was restructured after Xiaofa joined. Although they are performing very well in the Premier League, they are still a bit unstable.
Chelsea is a purely man-made disaster. The players are top-notch, the coach is top-notch, but the boss is acting like a monster. However, no one dares to underestimate Chelsea, which has won the Premier League championship for two consecutive years and has only lost one game to Arsenal so far this season.
As for Arsenal, they actually have similar problems to Liverpool, in that they are also in an unstable state.
Being able to beat the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool, but also losing to a loser like Southampton, the fundamental reason is that as the season enters the second half of the intensive schedule with two games a week or even three games a week, the physical pressure on the players becomes more and more intense. It's getting bigger and bigger, and the battle for points in the Premier League this year is simply suffocating.
Not only are the championship teams scrambling for points, the mid- and lower-tier teams are also scrambling for points to avoid relegation!
After sixteen rounds, the twenty teams in the Premier League, starting from the tenth place, the points of each subsequent team are very close.
In other words, it may be ranked tenth in the thirty-fifth round, but after the thirty-eighth round, it will fall directly into the bottom three relegation zones!
One less point may result in relegation!
This is more psychological pressure than the third subject of the driving license test!
The huge psychological pressure makes every team work hard, which means that Arsenal, whose bench is not deep enough, has no chance to breathe. Unless it is a three-goal lead, Wenger would not dare to replace the main player.
And the most important thing is
When Arsenal entered the knockout rounds of the Champions League last season, they were third in the league. There was a chance of competing for the title, but not much, so Wenger could make a desperate move and focus all his attention on the Champions League.
But Arsenal is now ranked first in the league!
It's a difficult choice to make between holding on to the Premier League title, which seems to have a better chance of winning, or betting on the Champions League, which offers more lucrative prizes.
This was not only clear to Chen Mo, but also Ronaldinho and Messi who were onlookers.
Ronaldinho was quite open-minded and even joked that he hoped to meet Arsenal in the top 16, so as not to be criticized for missing out on Arsenal who finally defeated the remaining team.
In response, Chen Mo just rolled his eyes and claimed that he would kick Ronaldinho's ass with a size 40 boot, but Harvey, who was grilling steak next to him, was thoughtful.
To be honest, after losing to Arsenal in the Champions League a year ago, he was very surprised that Ronaldinho suddenly stopped drinking. In his eyes, Ronaldinho played football just to make money and be cool. He couldn't understand why Ronaldinho gave up. It was a waste of time, but now after listening to Ronaldinho's words, he probably understood a little bit.
After eating barbecue and chatting, it was getting late, and seeing that it was almost time, the group got in the car and headed to the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
The convoy stretched into a long line and passed the toll gate. Passers-by who were smoking in the pay vehicles nearby looked at them in confusion. The cigarette butts fell into the car, causing a commotion.
Not only on the way, when the team arrived in front of the red carpet for the awards ceremony in the city center, the reporters, media and fans watching on the entire street went crazy!
Chen Mo, Messi, Henry, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Xavi.
What kind of magical lineup is this? !
Or did they come together? !
Passers-by are excited!
Screams came one after another, and amid the enthusiastic cheers of everyone, Chen Mo got out of the car behind Messi and Antonella, turned around and caught the slender palm extended by Yuechi Xun, who was wearing a white evening dress.
The flashing lights were reflected in his big eyes. Yuechi Xun's breath was slightly suffocated, and he was a little nervous.
Following Chen Mo over the years, she has been through a lot of ups and downs. Everyone knows that the two are a couple, but except for the World Cup and the Champions League final the year before last, she rarely comes to the stage and basically helps with Chen Mo's endorsements in the background. Ah, arranging various meetings and other matters.
Now facing the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards, the highest palace in football, I am still a little nervous.
"It's a small scene, don't panic."
Seeing her undulating white collarbone, Chen Mo showed a confident smile and tightened his right hand. As Yue Chixun got out of the car, many reporters who were filming with their eyes widened opened their eyes and raised their heads.
so pretty? !
There is a consensus in the industry that Yue Chixun is beautiful. Some people have long called her and Chen Mo the golden boy and girl. There are even some Hollywood directors who want to invite her to make movies. However, Yue Chixun has somewhat similar personalities to Chen Mo. They are very casual and usually Don't pay too much attention to appearance.
When Chen Mo goes out, he either wears T-shirts and jeans or sweatshirts and jeans. His hair is ear-length with hollowed-out sideburns, but most of the time it is tied back casually or simply left alone.
Wolji Xun is basically the same. He is naturally beautiful and has good skin. Not to mention putting on special makeup, even clothes are comfortable and comfortable to wear. The only dark history is that some people were envious of Keli's white hair and went to dye it. White hair.
The natural and lazy style will give people a very comfortable feeling, but it is a little less stunning in terms of stunningness. This time, Yuechi Xun specially hired professionals to design her hair and dress.
Exquisite makeup and hairstyle, graceful and voluptuous figure, paired with a gorgeous and cool white evening dress, her temperament changes from a quiet and intellectual young woman to a noble and cool black rose!
The visual impact is extremely strong!
Needless to say, the reporters who came back to their senses naturally clicked the shutter again, and as Yue Chixun took Chen Mo's hand and walked out of the car, the screams of the passersby became obviously louder!
Catching the reactions of others, Chen Mo raised a proud smile slightly on his lips.
After walking through the red carpet with constant flashing lights, standing on billboards to take photos, and signing their names, the group quickly arrived at the awards hall.
At this time, many senior media and celebrities in the football industry were already sitting in the awards hall, and Di Maria and Marco Polo were also sitting there. Not only them, but also long-lost national team teammates Zanetti and Clay. Spo and even Saviola were there, waving to Chen Mo enthusiastically.
After winning the World Cup, it was not only Chen Mo who became famous. He was once loaned to AC Milan by Chelsea. However, AC Milan did not want to buy out and was kicked around. Crespo had a new career.
However, he did not choose to return to the wealthy Chelsea or join AC Milan, which had already extended an olive branch to him. Instead, he left these two clubs that made him sad and chose to join Inter Milan.
As for Saviola, Chen Mo really couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this guy's big smile.
Back then, Saviola joined Barcelona for an astronomical price of 30 million euros that shocked the world, but he didn't get out for several years, but this summer he joined Real Madrid on a free basis!
Didn’t he say that it would be bad to go to Real Madrid or join a mortal enemy?
Mainly, Saviola is not a regular center but a more opportunistic second forward. He must be accompanied by a center like Crespo or Giroud to help him build a wall and involve defensive players, and at the same time the whole team Feed the cake.
To put it simply, the second forward position is a jet that gathers the energy of the whole team and then shoots out to complete the game.
This is where the problem lies.
For a team with a foundation like Real Madrid and Barcelona, the starting players purchased must be among the best in the world.
In Chen Mo's view, Saviola's current strength is not enough to support his survival as an absolute offensive core next to a group of the world's top teammates.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo, who was sitting in the first row, turned his head and glanced at Ronaldo, who was unhappy in the second row behind him.
He doesn't like Ronaldo, but to be honest, the reason why Ferguson corrected Ronaldo this season and gave him scoring opportunities in all positions of the Manchester United team is mainly because Ronaldo's goal conversion rate is indeed not low.
"However, I want all penalty kicks and free kicks. It's still too ugly to look at."
Shaking his head slightly, Chen Mo was no longer thinking about this.
Watching the classic scenes from previous awards shows on the big screen, listening to unknown but somewhat familiar singers singing on the stage, whispering and laughing with Messi next to him.
Not long after, as the singing ended, the Golden Globe Award was also brought onto the stage by the staff. Then, a bearded short man walked in front of everyone with a beautiful woman on his arm.
"Shall I go?! Diego?"
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment when he saw the fat man with a beard on the stage. Not only him, but also Messi, Henry and others next to him were all wide-eyed!
Maradona to present the award? !
It is true that football celebrities usually present the awards at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, but Maradona was still too surprised!
As an Argentine football player, it is absolutely impossible not to admire Lao Ma. It just depends on how much you admire him!
Chen Mo and Messi looked at each other, with expressions of surprise on their faces, while others had expressions of jealousy or relief.
There is no doubt that the organizer specially invited Maradona, or that a big shot like Maradona is willing to present the award, then the winner must be an Argentinian, and the only Argentinian who is likely to win the Golden Ball at the scene is Chen Mo. With Messi.
After a burst of applause, Maradona walked to the stage with the microphone, and his eyes proudly and innocently swept over all the people present: "Welcome to all of you to attend our internal awards ceremony in Argentina."
"."
As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent. At this time, Maradona laughed: "Haha, just kidding. Welcome everyone to attend the 2006 Ballon d'Or Award Ceremony organized by "France Football" magazine!"
