Chapter 816 Five-Year Covenant
"The winner of the 13-year PIPA Golden Globe Award is..."
When Bailey looked at the paper card in his hand on the podium, he looked up and looked up. The live TV camera gave him a big close-up. A smile appeared on the dark face of the Brazilian legendary superstar and a line of white teeth appeared.
But the camera just stopped on Bailey's face, and soon the camera swept across the three candidates sitting under the podium, especially the close-up of the expressions on the faces of the three people. Cristiano Ronaldo looked full of confidence, while Messi smiled calmly, only Ribery seemed very nervous and serious.
The camera quickly returned to Bailey, and then there were scenes of three candidates on the screen at the same time.
Although it sounds long, it is actually only a second or two. So after laughing, Bailey said to the microphone: "I believe that from now on, you can't say that I am a crow's mouth anymore."
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar
When I saw Cristiano Ronaldo, who originally looked very tall, rich and handsome, immediately changed from being overwhelmed with confidence to being hit hard, while Messi turned to Ribery beside him with a smile, but the Frenchman was still very nervous. Perhaps in his opinion, Pele could not do it if he didn't call out his name.
“…Frank o Ribery, congratulations on winning the PIPA Golden Globe Award for 13 years”
As soon as Bailey said this, there was a burst of extremely warm applause and cheers in the audience. Ribery's hideous face was filled with an unbelievable look. He stood up from his seat, but he quickly bent down and hugged Messi next to him, then turned around. He seemed to be searching everywhere.
The three candidates were sitting in the first row. Ribery opened his mouth wide and blinked his eyes hard, looking very excited. When he saw Ye Qiu not far behind him, he ran back quickly, ran to Ye Qiu's side, and hugged Ye Qiu and Peter Nion next to him.
At this time, his tears could no longer help falling.
"Go and receive the award quickly." Ye Qiu urged him loudly.
Ribery wiped the corners of his eyes, walked down quickly, climbed to the podium, and took the Golden Ball trophy from Bailey's hand seriously. He looked very excited and hugged FIFA President Blatt, Bailey and UEFA President Platini, especially Platini.
Standing in front of the microphone and gently placed the trophy on the main podium, Ribery's tears fell down again.
He can't be said to be a handsome man, and he even looks a bit abominable, but he used his skills, tenacity and hard work, his unremitting efforts, and excellent team spirit to prove again and again that he is not losing to anyone. He conquered all the fans with his performance on the court.
Without accompanying him through the past few years, it is impossible to understand his mood at this moment.
At Tottenham Hotspur, he once reached the peak. He was once only one step away from the World Footballer and within reach, but his injuries cruelly deprived him of this honor. Cristiano Ronaldo controversially took away his personal honor that originally belonged to him.
This is an extremely painful blow and setback for anyone.
But what is even more frustrating is that after returning from injury, his position in the team was replaced by his original little brother Messi. In more than half a year of recuperation, Tottenham Hotspur not only successfully launched Gareth and Bale, but also successfully supported Messi and replaced Ribery as the team's number one superstar.
Ribery can't blame anyone for all this, because he knows very well that this is fate.
If he hadn't been injured, if he hadn't had the injury that time, he wouldn't have been like this now.
In the past five years, he has been eager to return to the peak of his career all the time. He has gone from a young man with a high spirit to a semi-retired man who has passed three years and has a career not as good as his twenties. He found it difficult for him to challenge and replace Messi's position.
But even so, he is still loyal to his team and professionalism. He uses laughter and jokes to hide the regrets and setbacks in his heart, and he uses harder performance on the court to stick to his persistence.
Five years later, he finally waited for the opportunity, and he finally had the opportunity to take the stage
"I..." Ribery wanted to say something to the microphone, but couldn't say it, "...I'm sorry, I told myself that I was not allowed to cry regardless of whether I got it or not, but I was very, very unsatisfied."
As soon as Ribery finished speaking, tears fell again, but there was an extremely warm applause from the audience.
With Ribery's performance, if he hadn't been at Tottenham Hotspur and if he hadn't been suppressed by Messi, he would have an advantage in this selection, such as transferring to Real Madrid, but the Frenchman has always been loyal to Tottenham Hotspur.
"I still remember that five years ago, I was here, and I couldn't get the World Footballer. At that time, our head coach, the most respected person in my life, Mr. Ye Qiu." Ribery pointed at Ye Qiu on the seat with tears in his eyes, "He told me, Frank, I promise, I promise you that I will definitely help you get a World Footballerer."
"I never doubt anything he said, because without him, there would be no Frank o Ribery"
When he said this, Ribery lowered his head and wiped away the tears from his eyes.
"That year, I was just a brick mover at a construction site. It was him who brought me from a small French city to London. He gave me the opportunity to step onto the Premier League stage without any team willing to take me in. It was him who gave me trust, encouragement and support again and again."
"I have never said a lot of things to anyone, but today I want to say that I am proud of my career. Even if I haven't won this award today, even if I have never had the chance to get it in my life, I will feel satisfied, proud and proud, because I have the best and best head coach and a group of the best teammates."
"Thank you all to Tottenham Hotspur, thank you Mr. Ye Qiu, thank you Messi, thank you all my teammates. I don't know what to say, and I can't express my gratitude to you. I think the only thing I can do is to repay you with a better and better state on the football field."
After Ribery finished speaking, he won a burst of extremely warm applause from the scene again. After the Frenchman walked off the podium, he immediately hugged Messi who stood up. The two of them showed the Golden Globe trophy together to face the camera. Several Tottenham Hotspur players who came to the scene in the seat also walked down under their greetings, gathered together and let the reporter take photos.
The entire award ceremony also came to an end, and more journalists and media walked up to interview Ribery and Tottenham Hotspur players, and the entire Zurich Opera House was in chaos.
This is the sixth consecutive year Tottenham Hotspur has become the number one protagonist of the World Footballer, or later the PIPA Golden Globes Awards Ceremony. In the past six years, Tottenham Hotspur has won five sessions, of which Messi has won four sessions alone, and Ribery has won one session.
It can be easily seen from this report card that Tottenham Hotspur is the undisputed number one giant in football today, and even the star-studded Real Madrid is far inferior.
But these are not the most important. Most importantly, many people predict that Tottenham Hotspur will continue to maintain this dominance in the world football in the next few years, because they have not only a group of outstanding superstars, but also a group of amazing talented new stars.
All of this has become the consensus of the outside world towards Tottenham Hotspur
Ribery won the first PIPA Golden Globes in his life in Zurich, which immediately became a festival for the British and French media. After the French superstar returned to London, he did something that all Tottenham fans were very proud of, that is, to follow Messi's move and donate the Golden Globes to the museum at Stratford Stadium.
Although Tottenham Hotspur's rise has only been less than eight years, the team's museum has listed trophies on various fronts. Although it does not have the capacity to compete with those century-old giants in terms of quantity, in terms of quality, several Champions League trophies are enough to be proud and proud.
Perhaps stimulated by the PIPA Golden Ball Award, Ribery scored twice in the 22nd round of the Premier League after returning to Tottenham Hotspur. He helped Tottenham Hotspur finally defeat Swansea.
Chelsea's performance recovered in this round, and with Hulk's hat trick at home, he defeated Moyes' Manchester United.
Nowadays, the Red Devils and Manchester United are a mess. Moyes' team has now fallen to eighth place in the Premier League. Even after the Christmas Devil schedule, they have not made much changes or recovery. This has also made everyone very disappointed with Manchester United and Moyes, believing that Moyes has entered the countdown to the get out of class.
Some people even speculate that the semi-finals of the League Cup against Tottenham Hotspur are likely to be Moyes' life-saving battle.
In other words, if you cannot defeat Tottenham Hotspur, Moyes will likely be dismissed directly.
The Sun, which has always been omnipresent for inquiries, has published exclusive news, saying that Manchester United has already contacted Moyes' next position in advance. It is said that Dortmund's head coach Klopp is closest to Manchester United, and another one is Juventus' head coach Conte, but Manchester United officially denied all these rumors.
Although Ye Qiu was not very satisfied with Moyes, he did not agree with the Manchester United management's approach to other head coaches after only half a year. After all, they signed a six-year contract with Moyes, and they contacted other head coaches only halfway through the season, which obviously did not respect Moyes enough.
Things have to be separated from each other. Moyes is not very good at coaching, but Manchester United's lineup is indeed problematic.
However, even though Ye Qiu gave Moyes some support and encouragement in an interview with the media, he had no intention of showing mercy on the court. He directly played Manchester United away in the semi-finals of the League Cup, and Hazard scored the winning goal for Tottenham Hotspur.
In the fourth round of the FA Cup, which also played with a full substitute and a young lineup, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Coventry in the League One 40, and Mitrovic started the game, but his performance was only average. On the contrary, Januzai performed very well, Neymar scored twice, and Tottenham Hotspur's rotation lineup performed quite well.
In two consecutive cup matches, Ye Qiu played with a full substitute, and the main lineup was to be replenished and wait for challenges from Pellegrini, Manchester City. Manchester City is currently aiming for the Cup, so they sent all the main players to play in the previous two cup matches.
This is also the strategy of many Premier League teams, such as Newcastle, Arsenal, West Ham United, and even Manchester City and Liverpool, which have excellent bench thickness, attach great importance to the Cup, because when Tottenham dominates the Premier League and is in a terrible state, they can only make breakthroughs in the Cup if they want to win the championship.
So in this game of visiting Stratford, Manchester City did not perform at the best in the whole game. Pellegrini is not good at rotation, and he is a newcomer this season, so he still plays the main lineup, but he is suppressed by Tottenham Hotspurs.
In the end, with the goals of Ramsey and Messi, Tottenham defeated Manchester City at home 0.
Although he suffered a failure in the league, Manchester City defeated his opponent with a score of 0 in two rounds in the League Cup semi-finals and successfully advanced to the League Cup final. If Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, who have played one round less in the League Cup, the opponent he encountered in the final will likely be Tottenham Hotspur.
Three days later, in the 24th round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur relied on Lewandowski's goal away, Uj Hotspur City, which is also Tottenham Hotspur's 23 consecutive Premier League wins this season, because one less round of the league was played.
In the middle of the week, all other competitors began to have a short break after the January schedule, but Tottenham Hotspur had to participate in a supplementary match in the League Cup semi-finals, defeating Moyes' Manchester United at home and completing a four-kill against the Red Devils.
The game was very dangerous. Tottenham Hotspur intercepted Giggs in the first half and counterattacked, Pogba scored. However, in the second half, the team made a mistake in a defensive corner kick, and Vidic headed the ball to tie the score for Manchester United.
After that, Moyes' team began to counterattack, while Tottenham Hotspur was beaten a little embarrassed. Ye Qiu replaced three players in one breath, and finally, in the 87th minute, Eriksen made a wonderful pass to Stroman and scored a winning goal for Tottenham Hotspur.
Moyes praised Stroman's performance in this game after the game, believing that the Dutch not only made great contributions to the offense, but especially after stealing against Giggs in the first half, he planned a counterattack on the spot and broke through Manchester United's goal. His contribution on the defensive end was also quite obvious and he was elected as the best player in the game.
After the game, the Red Devils fans used Stroman to mock and mock Moyes, believing that Manchester United had the intention to introduce Stroman in the summer, but it was because of Moyes' hesitation and more attention on Fabregas and others that the team missed Stroman. Now the Dutch revenge is coming.
Stroman denied that he almost transferred to Manchester United, saying that he had contacted Tottenham Hotspur as early as January 2013. As for Manchester United, he had never received any contact from Manchester United.
He was beaten by Tottenham Hotspur in two rounds, and he had four matches this season and lost all four games. Moyes' Manchester United lost all face in the strong dialogue. After the game, almost all Red Devils fans shouted, asking Moyes to resign and step down.
But Moyes refused to be dismissed voluntarily, saying that he would continue to persist, and he believed that Ferguson's first season coaching Manchester United was also unsuccessful, but his later achievements are obvious to all.
But even if Moyes lifted out the great god Ferguson, he still couldn't convince the fans and management.
Moyes was dismissed and after the battle with Tottenham, it was revealed
After the League Cup semi-finals, Tottenham Hotspur welcomed Everton at home. Drogba scored his only goal for Tottenham Hotspur, defeating his opponent by 0, but Everton performed better in this game.
Four days later, Tottenham Hotspur challenged Newcastle away. This time, Tottenham Hotspur showed its best form. Messi not only shot after the front of the penalty area, but also scored twice. Vidal and Lewandowski each scored one goal, and Tottenham Hotspur beat Newcastle 40 away.
Three days later, Tottenham Hotspur played with a half-main and half-substitute lineup, narrowly defeating Liverpool at home.
The winning of this game was very dangerous. If Tottenham Hotspur hadn't played at home, the team had penetrated Liverpool's goal twice in the first half of the first half, I'm afraid Tottenham would have difficulty getting out of it, especially in the second half, Tottenham Hotspur played very embarrassedly and was scored by Gerald.
But no matter how dangerous or embarrassed the game process was, Tottenham Hotspur finally defeated Liverpool at home with its tenacious defense and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.
After the FA Cup, Tottenham Hotspurs ushered in another tough battle, challenging Southampton away.
But in this battle, Tottenham Hotspur still did not show good form. After the opening, he was scored by the opponent Larana. However, Tottenham Hotspur equalized the score, but then conceded the goal. In the second half, he narrowly defeated Southampton with the goals of Matic and Ribery.
Following closely behind, Uj Norwich away, narrowly defeated Cardiff 0 at home, and in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, and 0 away from Olympiacos three games. Tottenham Hotspurs looked like they were very tired and out of shape.
The opponents are not strong. If Tottenham Hotspur is in good shape, they can dominate the situation. However, Tottenham Hotspur gives people a passive feeling in these games, and the scenes do not show the team's strength.
Tottenham Hotspur's poor form also gave League Cup final opponent Manchester City more hope.
