Li Mingyu walked into Palais Garnier with Catherine and Bella.
Inside the opera house, the lights are brightly lit and the stars are shining.
After finding his place and just finishing it, Li Mingyu saw Messi and Antonela walking over.
Messi seems to have gotten over the pain of losing World Cup.
After World Cup ended, Messi announced his decision to permanently retire from the national team.
Although this time he quit after losing the game, Argentina fans did not criticize him verbally as before.
Because Messi is no longer young, and Messi's wonderful performance on World Cup has made Argentina people very satisfied.
It's just a little bit of luck.
Messi left Argentina National Team forever with regret.
Li Mingyu and Messi hugged each other.
Messi smiled and said in Li Mingyu's ear, "Li, congratulations!"
Li Mingyu laughed and said, "It doesn't necessarily mean it's me?"
Messi showed an unusual evil smile and said, "I'm talking about that girl!"
Li Mingyu's handsome face suddenly turned red, revealing an awkward smile. He glanced at Catherine and found that Catherine was looking at him suspiciously.
"Don't talk nonsense, we are just ordinary friends!"
Li Mingyu quickly explained.
Messi curled his lips and said, "I believe you, you idiot, who would bring an ordinary friend to such an occasion!"
Antonela looked at Li Mingyu who was a little embarrassed, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, Leo, stop making jokes about Li!"
Li Mingyu and Antonela want to hug each other gently.
When Barcelona was a kid, Li Mingyu would often be invited to his home by Messi.
Antonela likes the shy big boy Li Mingyu very much, and Messi's three sons have all become fans of Li Mingyu.
Messi can only comfort himself helplessly, fortunately his wife still admires him.
Messi and Catherine said hello to Bella. When leaving, they patted Li Mingyu on the shoulder and said with some sincerity, "Li, your world will be yours from now on!"
Looking at Messi's somewhat sad back, Li Mingyu fell silent.
The era of Messi has passed.
He is no longer the young man with long flowing hair.
He can no longer complete one versus five as easily as he did ten years ago.
Now, he has lost his speed advantage even in a one-on-one fight.
No one can resist the passage of time.
Ten years ago, Messi was like a king, dominating world football. Even if he was as strong as Cristiano Ronaldo, he was still slightly inferior.
As time goes by, Messi has become older and no longer youthful.
Talents have emerged from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years.
Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the peerless pair, have slowly withdrawn from everyone's sight.
These three superstars, Li Mingyu, Mbappe, and Haaland, will become the most shining stars in world football in the next ten years.
In the last World Cup, 18-year-old Mbappe came out of nowhere and won his World Cup championship.
In this World Cup, the 20-year-old Li Mingyu god came down to earth and won his World Cup championship.
What is a pity for Haaland is that his country Norway is currently ranked 44th in the world, and Europe is also ranked behind 20th. It is not a traditional strong team, so the possibility of him winning the World Series championship is relatively small.
In fact, there are many players like Haaland in the football world. A little further away there is the famous star Libya Weah.
As a player of AC Milan, Weah won the Best FIFA Men's Player and Ballon d'Or in his first season, and also won African Footballer of the Year, becoming the only player to win these three honors in the same year.
Weah's achievements in the club are very dazzling, but he has never been able to participate in World Cup's main competition in his life.
This is also the regret of Weah's football career.
Another person who is more memorable is Manchester United's famous star, Wales's Giggs.
Giggs, as the wing killer of team Manchester United, has won numerous honors for team Manchester United.
But at the national team level, Giggs has experienced 5 UEFA European Championship and 4 World Cup qualifiers in his sixteen-year national team career. However, it is regrettable that Wales National Team has never been able to appear in the main game of the World Series.
But Giggs is an admirable player. When he was 16 years old, he represented the England selection team as the captain in Wembley Stadium against Belgium.
After that, Giggs still chose to work for Wales National Team.
In fact, this was determined by the football rules at the time.
Because although Giggs came to Manchester when he was six years old, because his parents and grandparents are not from England, he cannot join Three Lions.
And if the current rules are followed, Giggs has the right to choose.
Because the current rules stipulate that as long as you have lived in a country for five years, you can change your nationality and represent that team.
However, Giggs once said that I will play for Wales National Team. I have never hesitated, and my family will not let me play for England National Team.
The loyal Manchester United left wing king has served his national team all his life and has become a superstar who has never participated in the World Series.
Even if he is as strong as Haaland, he has not been able to lead Norway National Team into this year's World Cup by himself.
It has to be said that it is a big regret not being able to see Li Mingyu, Mbappe, and Haaland, the three most outstanding young people in football, competing on the same field.
Return to Palais Garnier.
The arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo once again caused a commotion among the fans.
This year's World Cup finally satisfied the fans of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and saw the scene of the two peerless heroes competing on the stage of World Cup.
This scene has appeared many times in their dreams.
Although Portugal lost to Argentina in the end, neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Messi lost. One is 37 years old and the other is 35 years old. At such an age, appearing on the stage of World Cup is a legend.
Moreover, the two of them scored so many goals that their names will remain on World Cup's goal list forever, which can be said to be very remarkable.
Cristiano Ronaldo brought his girlfriend Georgina into the venue.
The 37-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo maintains a very good figure. He looks like a young man in his twenties, with a chiseled face and his signature smile, which attracts flashes of flashlights.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi hugged each other warmly. As the best players of their generation, the two have a very good personal relationship.
The relationship between the players is very good, but the fans are at loggerheads with each other, which makes people feel ridiculous.
Cristiano Ronaldo looked around and saw Li Mingyu with a bright smile.
Looking at Cristiano Ronaldo walking towards him, Li Mingyu stood up in surprise.
Because he has no relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, if there is any connection, does the free kick and the cracked ribs count?
Cristiano Ronaldo walked up to Li Mingyu, looked him up and down, and said with envy, "Li, I haven't congratulated you on winning the championship of World Cup yet, congratulations to you!"
Cristiano Ronaldo and Li Mingyu hugged each other.
Cristiano Ronaldo looked at the young Li Mingyu and said with a smile, "Li, you are very powerful. Come on, you will rule the world from now on!"
Hearing this, Li Mingyu couldn't help but froze for a moment, it sounded so familiar.
It seems that this is what Messi said just now.
He is indeed the strongest player of his generation, even his talking routine is the same!
Cristiano Ronaldo didn't like to say much. After introducing his girlfriend, he returned to his seat.
Li Mingyu looked at Cristiano Ronaldo's back and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't look like a 37-year-old man!
Suddenly, Li Mingyu felt two scorching eyes coming from not far away.
Li Mingyu looked over curiously.
Mbappe and Haaland both looked at him with complicated eyes.
Before Li Mingyu debuted, Mbappe and Haaland were already regarded as the successors of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
There is no doubt about the strength of these two people. At such a young age, they have already become terrifying strike killers, scoring goals like crazy.
The two of them also regard each other as their lifelong enemy.
However, things took a turn for the worse. When they were fighting for first place on the track, a figure suddenly rushed past them.
Seeing this sudden figure, Mbappe and Haaland were both dumbfounded.
Didn't we agree to go to Jin? Why did we return to the Three Kingdoms?
Moreover, after Li Mingyu, the "Sun Quan" came from Barcelona to Manchester City, there is no big brother on his head, and now it seems that he is about to become "Sun Jian".
Mbappe, the "Cao Cao", and Haaland, the "Liu Bei", felt powerless in the face of the Jiangdong Tigers.
Haaland's current confidence is the weakest, and he can't get anything he wants.
Mbappe There is at least one World Cup champion who can compete with Li Mingyu.
However, the World Cup champion of Li Mingyu + World Cup Golden Ball + World Cup Golden Boot, plus the Best FIFA Men's Player and Ballon d'Or that are very likely to be obtained, will crush Mbappe into smoke.
Therefore, Mbappe and Haaland looked at Li Mingyu with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and hatred, but more importantly, they were filled with a burning desire to fight.
Li Mingyu smiled at the two of them and sat down in his seat.
Catherine couldn't help but look around. The place was star-studded, and all the top football stars in the world were gathered together. Catherine, who loves football, was eye-opening and screamed again and again.
Bella, who was sitting next to her, looked helpless and kept holding her little hand to ask her to calm down.
Catherine looked at Li Mingyu's half-smiling look, and blushed prettyly, sitting there obediently, like a real England lady.
Soon, FIFA's annual awards ceremony began.
Today's two hosts are France's famous <France Football> senior reporter Barrett.
The other lady is France the famous host Carole.
"Gentlemen and ladies, good evening, welcome everyone to attend the FIFA 2022 awards ceremony, welcome everyone to Palais Garnier, I hope we can spend a wonderful night here."
The witty remarks of the two hosts made the atmosphere very harmonious.
Li Mingyu also kept smiling to deal with the camera that was about to hit his face.
No way, in today's award ceremony, the most impressive person is the winner of the new World Cup, World Cup Golden Ball and World Cup Golden Boot.
Moreover, the most important award tonight, the best men's player of the year, is the Best FIFA Men's Player's award, which is basically Li Mingyu's.
Therefore, the camera should not give too many shots to Li Mingyu.
According to the rules, the first award is Puskás Award, which is the most familiar to Li Mingyu.
Puskás Award in 2021 was obtained from Li Mingyu.
This year, Li Mingyu also scored a goal and was selected.
It was the "Volley from Heaven" he scored at the last moment of the World Cup final.
This goal was temporarily selected by the judges who were about to judge Puskás Award.
FIFA Chairman Infantino said that if this goal is not selected, this year's Puskás Award can be cancelled.
You know, the Volley from Heaven of Zidane was not selected as the Puskás Award of that year, which aroused protests from Real Madrid fans and raised a lot of doubts about the selection at that time.
However, that time, it was because of the goal scored in the final of Champions League that the chairman of FIFA was not happy to advertise for UEFA.
And this time, the same goal scored by Li Mingyu appeared in the final of World Cup organized by FIFA. Due to emotions and reasons, FIFA will vigorously praise it.
The goals selected this time include not only Li Mingyu's Volley from Heaven, but also Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar's wonderful goals among World Cup. It can be said that most of the Puskás Award nominations this time are the goals of World Cup.
Although there are some deliberate efforts to improve the World Cup of my own organization, I have to say that the quality of this World Cup is indeed the highest in recent years.
The total number of goals scored by World Cup this time has reached 180, which is also the 22nd World Cup with the most goals.
The previous record tied for first place was 171 goals from 1998 to 2014.
Moreover, the goals scored by World Cup in this session are very concentrated. Li Mingyu scored 16 goals, Messi scored 9 goals, Neymar scored 8 goals, and Cristiano Ronaldo scored 7 goals. After 2002, in any session, they can get World Cup Golden Boot.
In the end, Li Mingyu's Volley from Heaven lived up to expectations and won the 2022 Puskás Award.
Li Mingyu also became the first player to successfully defend the title since the establishment of Puskás Award.
It can be said that defending Puskás Award is more difficult than defending the Best FIFA Men's Player.
Because as long as you perform well, you may defend the Best FIFA Men's Player, just like Lewandowski in 2020 and 2021.
But if you want to score a world-class goal every year, it's too difficult.
Just like Li Mingyu's Volley from Heaven, it can only be used in the finals of major competitions like World Cup finals, UEFA European Championship finals, and Champions League finals. Moreover, if there is no such type of high ball in the penalty area, this skill cannot be activated.
Therefore, this kind of goal is rare but hard to come by.
In fact, every goal scored by Puskás Award is a classic that the player may not be able to replicate in his life.
Li Mingyu was not too surprised when he heard his name. He stood up, buttoned up his suit, and hugged his cousin Bella, and then hugged Catherine.
Catherine excitedly said in his ear, "Li, you are awesome!"
Li Mingyu stepped onto the stage with a bright smile.
