Chapter 428: Only you
Wang Feng once again scores a hat-trick. Since the start of the new season in August, he has scored 41 goals: 25 in 12 league matches, 8 in the Champions League, 3 in cup matches, and 5 in national team games.
And these goals have made undeniable contributions to the team: 10 wins and 2 draws in the league, topping Barcelona; first place in the Champions League group stage; winning the Spanish Super Cup and the UEFA Super Cup; and a promising outlook for China in the World Cup qualifiers.
Coupled with the double crown honor from last season, "Abaisai Report" admits that the European Ballon d'Or can only be awarded to the Chinese superstar.
"Although many people wish for a Spanish player to win the Ballon d'Or, it is Wang Feng's era now. No one can steal this honor from him under his glory."
As the voice of Real Madrid, "Marca" continues to build up Wang Feng, stating that as long as he is on the Galaxy Battleship, the club will always consider him the biggest core and promote him accordingly.
"From any perspective, Wang Feng has been the best-performing player over the past year. He deserves the Ballon d'Or."
Real Madrid legend and former captain Hierro said in an interview that Wang Feng is leading Real Madrid to achieve glory beyond imagination. "Three consecutive championships or even more? Oh my God, I wish I were born a few years later, then I could have left an immortal legend with them!"
"Wang Feng is definitely worthy of the Ballon d'Or. He is the biggest favorite and the only choice."
Other competitors, such as Torres from Liverpool, only have one Champions League honor and nothing in the club aspect, while Ronaldo was completely defeated by Wang Feng, and Messi lacks strong credentials.
"Once we pursued the gorgeous style of play and superb skills, but the Chinese superstar tells everyone that these are not in conflict with victory. He wins matches with each splendid goal."
Although Wang Feng appears calm on the surface, he is very concerned about whether he can win the award, as it is a recognition in the world of football.
But "France Football" has not contacted him or the club until now, which is strange. According to official sources, they will officially announce the winners on December 2nd and publish the magazine of that period.
According to the usual practice, photo shoots and interviews are completed two weeks in advance, but the time has already passed. Could it be that he didn't win? The Chinese superstar starts to feel anxious, but even if someone else wins, the media has not captured the figure of Editor-in-Chief Puffenasti and his team.
So, on the rare rest day after the match, Wang Feng felt restless at home. He spent some time exercising in the gym, played with his daughter Xiao Siyao for a while, and then wanted to go outside for a run.
Lu Yao noticed his anxiety, so she stopped him and pulled him to the bar counter in the dining room: "I've been researching a new composite juice recently. Can you try it?"
Saying so, she skillfully peeled and cut bananas into small pieces, peeled oranges into wedges, and cut passion fruit to scoop out the flesh, then added them to the juicer one by one.
Wang Feng watched his wife's graceful figure shuttle in the kitchen with his hands supporting his chin, and somehow his mood gradually improved. Perhaps this is happiness. He already has everything, so why be anxious and dissatisfied?
Soon, a thick glass of juice was placed in front of Wang Feng. He jokingly tapped the glass and said, "Can I drink this? Will it be hard to swallow?" Lu Yao retorted playfully, "I've tried it several times, and it's actually very delicious."
Picking up the glass and savoring it quietly, Wang Feng's eyes lit up: "It's amazing. This taste is unexpectedly refreshing."
"Yeah, it also has a calming effect. On days when I can't sleep at night, I drink a glass, and it works pretty well." Hearing this, Wang Feng pulled Lu Yao's right hand and gently massaged it: "Thank you, Yao Yao, for silently supporting me all this time."
Lu Yao reached out her other hand and gently flicked Wang Feng's forehead: "Of course, in my heart, you are always the best."
Then the two talked about the selection of the Ballon d'Or. Wang Feng said somewhat angrily, "If they don't award it to me this year, I will refuse to attend the award ceremony!"
He couldn't complain like this to the outside world and the media, but he could vent to Lu Yao: "Many people think it's shameful for an Asian to dominate the highest honor in world football, but I am indeed the best performer. Unless they vote blindly."
Lu Yao comforted him: "These are just the narrow-minded thoughts of a small part of arrogant Europeans. I believe most judges are very rational, and they should understand how controversial it would be to choose other players."
"And 'France Football' hasn't taken any action yet, so let's wait and see."
Indeed, Lu Yao's thoughts proved to be correct. When Wang Feng went to the club for training the next day, he had just changed his clothes when he received a call from Editor-in-Chief Puffenasti: "Wang, I'm very sorry. Due to internal work arrangements, we have postponed your interview for a few days. Oh, congratulations on winning the 2008 European Ballon d'Or!"
The Chinese superstar was delighted to hear this, feeling like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He jokingly said, "Is it because you guys are so familiar with the process of interviewing and photographing me that you compressed the time? Haha, I thought I hadn't won."
Puffenasti was a little embarrassed on the other end of the phone. In fact, the arrangements for the European Ballon d'Or in the past two years have become somewhat chaotic, and many people have repeatedly mentioned merging it with the FIFA Best Player award.
This decision is inevitable, but some people want to merge it next year, while others want to wait another year. In short, the arguments are fierce, which led to this work mistake.
However, Puffenasti would definitely not tell Wang Feng about these details. He just said, "This award can only be yours. Although I can't reveal the specific number of votes, you have definitely set a new record."
In addition, the French editor also requested that Wang Feng complete the photo shoot and interview work when he goes to the Hetafe match at the end of November, as the time is indeed very tight.
Naturally, the club had no objections. Wang Feng, who was overjoyed after winning the award, suggested treating all his teammates to dinner. Van der Vaart was a bit puzzled: "Why suddenly invite everyone to dinner?"
Raúl explained with a smile, "Of course, it's to celebrate our newly crowned European Ballon d'Or winner, right, Wang?" The Chinese superstar nodded. After winning the award, treating everyone to dinner has become a tradition for the team, a way to thank his teammates for their support.
Van der Vaart couldn't help but be amazed. Although various media outlets and the public are still speculating that Wang Feng is the hottest candidate for the Ballon d'Or, it's still somewhat unbelievable when it's finally confirmed. The Chinese superstar has won five in total!
Is he really in the same team with such a great player? No wonder the atmosphere in Real Madrid's locker room is so harmonious despite the many factions and cliques. It's because there is a big Buddha sitting there.
And he's only 25 years old, at the peak of his career. No one can take away his influence in the dressing room.
In the 13th round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Hetafe away. In the first half, Wang Feng started and scored 1 goal. He was replaced at halftime and interviewed by "France Football" during the break.
In the second half, Iguain scored again to help the away team secure victory. Although Hetafe pulled one back in the final moments, they couldn't reverse the result.
