After this game, world football ushered in a grand event.
FIFA Award Ceremony.
The 2021 FIFA award ceremony will be held at London.
Li Mingyu and Messi went to London to attend the ceremony.
Because in this award ceremony, Li Mingyu was also nominated.
In the last life-and-death battle against Eibar last season, Li Mingyu made that shocking upside-down golden hook in the last minute. Puskás Award was selected for the 2021 Puskás Award, which is also the FIFA Best Goal Award of the Year.
Li Mingyu wore a black slim-fitting suit, showing off her perfect figure.
Messi looked at the handsome Li Mingyu and smiled like an old father.
If you look at his appearance, the bearded Messi is really the same age as Li Mingyu's father.
Messi came with his wife and children.
Messi's child was also very happy after seeing Li Mingyu and couldn't stop chatting with Li Mingyu.
Seeing his child being so speculative with Li Mingyu, Messi felt sour in his heart.
When entering the venue and walking on the red carpet, Li Mingyu was very surprised to see the face of a Asia woman with yellow skin and black hair.
Wang Shuang?
Li Mingyu couldn't help but call out this woman's name.
Wang Shuang, China Women's National Football Team's super star, in last year's Olympic Games qualifiers, in the last game, at China's Suzhou home court, South Korea Women's National Football Team scored two goals in a row, with a total score of 3:2, South Korea When the team took the lead, Wang Shuang, known as the "China women's Messi", first broke the South Korea team's goal with a free kick, bringing the China women's football team into overtime.
At the last moment of overtime, Wang Shuang used a left-footed low shot that looked exactly like Messi. The football went directly from the crowd into the blind spot of the goal, killing the opponent directly and allowing the China women's football team to catch the last train of Tokyo Olympics.
The moon was setting, crows were crying, and the sky was full of frost. South Korea was 3:4 outside the city of Suzhou. Wang Shuang suddenly became the lifesaver of China football.
In Tokyo Olympics, the China women's football team, led by Wang Shuang, advanced all the way. In the final, they faced the powerful Brazil Women's National Football Team. With the help of the women's Messi Wang Shuang's kick made the world go viral, defeating Brazil Women's National Football Team 1:0. For the first time, China women's football team won this precious gold medal.
This is also the first time China football has won the championship in the World Series.
Wang Shuang also won the Best FIFA Women's Player in 2020 by virtue of his performance in Olympic Games. This is also the first time that a China person was elected the Best FIFA Women's Player.
At the moment when the awards were presented, China, Vice Chairman Chinese Football Association, one of the greatest players in the history of women's football and Steel Roses's representative Sun Wen couldn't help but burst into tears.
Although Sun Wen was named Miss Football of the 20th Century by FIFA in 2000, Sun Wen has never won the title of the Best FIFA Women's Player.
Being called Maradona in a skirt, not getting the Best FIFA Women's Player is the pain of Sun Wen's life.
But she witnessed that China women's football team finally had another representative player. Wang Shuang won this award, which made Sun Wen feel very relieved.
When he heard someone calling his name in Chinese, Wang Shuang turned his head curiously.
When seeing Li Mingyu, Wang Shuang was still a little confused. Who is this handsome young man?
However, when she saw Messi next to Li Mingyu, she suddenly remembered the identity of Li Mingyu.
"Li Mingyu!" Wang Shuang came over in surprise.
Wang Shuang first nodded very politely towards Messi and said, "Hello, Mr. Messi!"
Messi also has a deep impression on Wang Shuang. At last year's award ceremony, this female player from China left a deep impression on everyone with her excellent personal charm.
Messi also reached out and gently shook Wang Shuang's hand, saying, "Hello, Wang!"
Li Mingyu on the side couldn't help laughing when he saw Messi and Wang Shuang, and said, "Leo, maybe you don't know yet, in China, Wang Shuang's nickname is the female Messi!"
Since Wang Shuang didn't understand Spain, he couldn't understand what Li Mingyu said at all, so he could only smile awkwardly.
Messi said with a surprised look on his face, "Really? That's such an honor!"
Li Mingyu quickly helped Wang Shuang translate it, and Wang Shuang also smiled happily.
Seeing Messi looking very proud, Li Mingyu said secretly, "Leo, don't be too happy. Although Wang Shuang's nickname is female Messi, her idol is Cristiano Ronaldo!"
The smile on Messi's face disappeared immediately, and he asked with a look of disbelief, "How is this possible and why?"
Li Mingyu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows!"
Indeed, it was only during Olympic Games last year that Li Mingyu had a certain understanding of Wang Shuang and some of Wang Shuang's little stories.
Wang Shuang is the same as Messi. He is a left-footed player. When dribbling, organizing offense, and shooting, he feels very similar to Messi.
Fans of China affectionately call her "female Messi".
During an interview, when Wang Shuang heard that her nickname was "Female Messi", she was very happy and repeatedly said that this was everyone's praise for her. She was still far away from Messi, but her idol has always been Cristiano Ronaldo, and it has never changed.
In Olympic Games, Wang Shuang's celebration after scoring a goal is exactly the same as Cristiano Ronaldo's. He jumped up, waved his hands down violently, or put his hands to his ears as if listening.
So, Wang Shuang is the combination of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Of course, this is a joke.
Li Mingyu and Wang Shuang chatted for a while and learned that Wang Shuang has now left the country and joined Manchester City of England, becoming a member of the Manchester City women's football team.
This time, Wang Shuang comes as a candidate for the Best FIFA Women's Player in 2021. However, this year, the possibility of her winning the award is slim. After all, without the bonus of the World Series, it will be difficult for China players to touch this highest-level trophy.
FIFA's award ceremony also includes a red carpet.
Li Mingyu was taken to the red carpet area by the staff. A red carpet of more than 20 meters led directly to Royal Opera House.
Li Mingyu walked onto the red carpet with a smile on his face. Some fans who came here specially screamed, making the scene boiling.
Li Mingyu is now famous, basically Europe is well-known in the football world, and his handsome appearance also adds a lot of points to him.
Walking away all the way to the door of the theater, a good-looking female host stopped Li Mingyu.
"Hey! Li, I'm glad to see you here." Kate Brooke said with a smile.
Kate Brooke is London's famous football program host. Her good looks and sexy figure make her very famous in the football world.
"Hello, Miss Brooke!" Li Mingyu certainly knows her. After all, before coming here, he has already done his homework on the people he may meet today.
How embarrassing it would be if the wrong name was called!
Kate Brooke was also very surprised that Li Mingyu actually recognized him.
"Oh, Li, I didn't expect you to know me. Is my name also very famous in Spain?"
Li Mingyu said with a smile, "Of course, who doesn't know Miss Brooke's name?"
Kate Brooke was amused by Li Mingyu and laughed. Li Mingyu could only slightly raise his eyelids in embarrassment to keep his eyes away from the pair of constantly beating big headlights.
Seeing Li Mingyu's shy look, Kate Brooke also had a flash of surprise in his eyes. Every player he interviewed wanted to have their eyes glued to his body, but he didn't expect Li Mingyu to look away from him.
If it weren't for seeing Li Mingyu blushing, Kate Brooke would have thought that his charm had declined.
Kate Brooke got back to business and asked, "Li, the award you were shortlisted for today is Puskás Award. Are you confident in winning this award?"
Puskás Award, ten wonderful goals will be shortlisted every year, and the most wonderful goal will eventually be selected.
Li Mingyu doesn't have much confidence in whether he can get Puskás Award this time. After all, he was also shortlisted with wonderful goals from Ibrahimovic, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Lewandowski, Salah and others.
If we put aside the significance of Li Mingyu's goal for La Liga's championship, this goal is actually just an ordinary hook shot. Compared with other goals, it does not have much advantage.
Li Mingyu shook his head and said, "I'm just here to participate. The competition for Puskás Award this time is very fierce. No matter who wins, he deserves it!"
Li Mingyu's answer surprised Kate Brooke. This kind of steady answer usually appears on those old stars who have been famous for a long time. Stars of Li Mingyu's age are not unruly and domineering.
Last year's Puskás Award was awarded to South Korea's star Son Heung-min. However, when Son Heung-min was interviewed at the beginning, although he seemed to be very low-key, he said he was determined to win Puskás Award.
And after winning the award, Son Heung-min was extremely excited and acted very arrogantly on stage.
South Korea's villainous nature is clearly visible, which has greatly changed many people's impressions of him.
Li Mingyu is just a newcomer after all. Even if he scores a lot of goals, he doesn't get more interview time now that he has no more honors.
Kate Brooke ended the interview after wishing Li Mingyu to obtain Puskás Award.
Li Mingyu walked into Royal Opera House.
This opera house is one of the oldest opera houses in the UK, and the interior looks very antique.
Li Mingyu arrived at his location under the guidance of the staff.
Li Mingyu is located next to the fourth row.
After sitting down, Li Mingyu looked around curiously.
The entire Royal Opera House was star-studded, with current stars and some retired superstars all present.
After all, the FIFA award ceremony is an annual event in the football world, no less than the UEFA award ceremony.
Li Mingyu Someone has taken a seat next to him.
Li Mingyu turned around and looked at this familiar young man with some surprise.
"Hello, Mr. Haaland!" Li Mingyu greeted very politely.
Unexpectedly, FIFA actually arranged Li Mingyu and Haaland together.
The two had just finished competing against El Clasico, and two days later, they were arranged to sit together.
It seems that FIFA is really willing to cause trouble for the sake of ratings!
At this time, the camera must be facing the two of them.
Haaland also knew this, so he showed a bright smile, shook hands with Li Mingyu, and said, "Li, I'm glad to see you!"
Li Mingyu felt Haaland's hand tighten a little. His expression did not change and he also tightened his hand.
However, the two of them just clicked and stopped. On this occasion, if the media revealed that the two of them were competing, it is estimated that a fine of FIFA would be sent out next.
Seeing the two of them acting like brothers, the fans in front of the TV were a little disappointed.
Why didn't we start a fight?
How boring!
Messi, who was sitting in the first row, also noticed what was going on here. He looked back and saw that the two of them were getting along well, so he smiled and turned around.
Soon, the lights at the scene changed and two hosts walked out on the stage.
Two hosts, a man and a woman, walked out from behind accompanied by solemn music.
The male host is Hoford, a reporter from England's <The Guardian>. He looks very steady and handsome.
The female host is Emma Jones, the female host of England. She is also the ex-girlfriend of the famous England star Alan Shearer.
"Gentlemen and ladies, good evening, welcome everyone to the FIFA 2021 awards ceremony, welcome everyone to Royal Opera House. I hope we can spend a wonderful night here."
"Today is going to be a star-studded night in football."
The two hosts were also full of witty remarks, and the stars and their families in the audience were all amused and couldn't help laughing.
The warm-up session is over.
The first award announced first is Puskás Award.
Li Mingyu immediately sat up straight, and Haaland on the side showed an envious expression.
Haaland Although he scored a lot of goals this year, there were not many that could be called wonderful, so he didn't get the chance to be shortlisted for Puskás Award.
"This year's Puskás Award is the same as before. There are ten wonderful goals shortlisted, which are the top 10 of FIFA in 2021. Finally, after the first round of screening, there are now three goals in the final selection. Let's take a look at the big screen!"
Choose one of three.
The first thing that appeared on the big screen was Cristiano Ronaldo.
The goal that Cristiano Ronaldo was selected for was when he faced Sampdoria in the league. He hit an elevator ball from 35 meters away and directly broke into the opponent's goal. His skill shocked everyone.
Free kick goals are always fans' favorite.
The second one is Lewandowski's wonderful lob shot against Dortmund in the league last season, which was a masterpiece.
The last one is the priceless golden hook scored by Li Mingyu in the last round of the league.
Photos of the three players appeared on the big screen at the same time, drawing warm applause from the audience.
