Let me say first, this book will not be TJ or on the shelves. If you think it is free, you can recommend the ticket to a free book, and it won’t cost anyway...
After arriving in Paris, Zhuang Mingge and his party stayed in a luxury hotel in downtown Paris under the arrangement of Adidas Branch.
Why did you ask Adidas so attentive to Zhuang Mingge and others? Isn't this nonsense? After Zhuang Mingge and Groz and Groz acquired 50% of the shares of Adidas through a series of transactions and negotiations, Groz and Groz also used the opportunity of Adidas' listing on the Nasdaq in the United States in August this year to use the funds of the partner company to absorb about 10% of the shares, making Zhuang Mingge and Groz's partner company the largest shareholder and actual controller of this old sports equipment company. Therefore, this time Zhuang Mingge and Groz came to Paris together, and as the head of the French branch of Adidas, his subordinate, naturally managed everything for the group.
Not long after Zhuang Mingge and his party checked in the hotel, a photographer sent by French Football conducted a special shooting on him, saying that he would choose the best from it as the cover of the next issue of French Football. At that time, the Argentine God of War was still excited to ask the photographer if this suggests that he had won the Golden Globe Award. After inquiring, he realized that this was not the case at all. In order to keep the confidentiality work, the organizer took a set of photos for the top three candidates, so that the outside world could not guess who was the main winner of the Golden Globe Award.
Of course, as a "revenge" to tease himself on the plane, Zhuang Mingge has taken this opportunity to joke with Bati...
On the last day of 1995, Zhuang Mingge and his group took a bus to CANAL+ TV. This year's European Golden Globe Awards Gala will be held here. Because according to the agreement reached between "French Football" and CANAL+ TV, the Golden Globe Awards Gala must be broadcast live on the Golden Globe Awards Gala in the prime time of the evening on the day before the winners of the European Golden Globe Awards Gala must be released.
The so-called awards ceremony is actually equivalent to a witness meeting. In addition to the support team that goes out to accompany the players, only some very famous guests from all over the world can receive invitations. They will attend the awards ceremony held on CANAL+ TV station to witness the birth of the new Golden Globe winner.
"Oh! Hello, Coach Capello! I didn't expect you to attend this award ceremony... Haha, you have won the award. We in Florence still have many shortcomings and need to be gradually improved in the future." As soon as we arrived at the venue, Zhuang Mingge saw a familiar person in Italy, the head coach of AC Milan, Fabio Capello, so he came forward enthusiastically to chat with him.
In such a public occasion, Capello still has a serious face, but perhaps because his players have once again entered the top three of the Golden Globes, and Zhuang Mingge is also from the Serie A with him, so he became much more polite when chatting with Zhuang Mingge, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
Wea and Bati, the opponents in the Serie A arena, also took advantage of the gap before the awards ceremony to communicate. Although the two are in many ways as competitors, this does not hinder the private friendship between the players.
...
Finally, when the time was about 6 o'clock in the evening, after a brief opening remark from the host of the party, the 1995 Golden Globe Awards ceremony finally officially began!
First, the host was the first to announce the Bronze Ball winner. The "Golden Bomber" Klinsman won this honor. Because he was not as good as Batty in collective honor and was suppressed by Weia and Batty in individual awards, Klinsman was tragically scored only 67 points, ranking third.
The German striker looked disappointed after hearing the result announced by the host. After all, this is his closest time to the Golden Globes. Even when he won the World Cup, he was only ranked sixth. As a center, he is now 31 years old, he has not had a few years to play. This time, the Golden Globes selection is undoubtedly his last chance.
Although I was very disappointed, Klinsman, who had a very high professional quality, forced a smile and walked to the podium, took the trophy of the Bronze Ball Award from the host, and then took a photo as a souvenir under the guidance of the host.
After Klinsmann received the Bronze Ball Award, the highlight of this award ceremony finally began. Batistuta and Weiah were staring at the host with nervous expressions, waiting for the final judgment.
"On behalf of the French Football magazine, I announced that the winner of the 1995 European Golden Ball Awards is... Gabriel Batistuta from the Florentine Club! Congratulations! You are the first Fiorentine player to win this honor and the first Argentine player to win the Golden Ball Award!"
"Hey! Gabriel! What are you doing while standing stupidly?! Hurry up and receive the prize!" Under the urging of Zhuang Mingge and others, Batistuta came to his senses and hurried to the stage, taking over the trophy that countless players had dreamed of from the host!
And tomorrow morning, the cover of French Football magazine will be printed with photos of Batistuta holding the golden ball!
...
Before the European Golden Ball Awards ended, FIFA took the lead in announcing the results of the World Footballer of the previous year. This time, the Liberian won the final victory. His teammate Maldini won the Silver Ball Award. The new European Golden Ball winner Batistuta ranked third, and Klinsmann was even more tragic that he didn't even make the top three...
Many fans said they couldn't understand this result. After all, Maldini only won the second place in the Champions League in 1995, and AC Milan where he is located only won fifth place in the league. Whether in terms of team honor or personal performance, Batistuta, who won the Bronze Ball Award, perhaps the only advantage is that Maldini's international popularity is much greater than Bati...
However, the selection results of World Footballer Mr. obviously cannot affect Batistuta's good mood to win the European Golden Ball Award.
"I am very happy to be able to win this European Golden Globe Award. This is a recognition of my performance throughout the year... If possible, I hope to keep playing in Florence's jersey until I retire!" This is the voice expressed by Batistuta in an interview with the media after winning the award, and this sentence was also published by many media in major sports newspapers and magazines published the next day.
