From the man behind the football king to the football king

When Kaká read out that the winner of the 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or was Bruno, a burst of cheers erupted in front of countless TVs.

For football fans, they are tired of the Messi-Cristiano Ronaldo duo.

In the past seven years, the FIFA Ballon d'Or and its predecessors, the World Player of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or, have been rotating between these two people: In 2008, Ronaldo won the World Player of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or, announcing the era of double pride. Then, Messi completed four consecutive championships, almost crushing Ronaldo; but the stubborn Portuguese immediately completed two consecutive championships in 2013 and 2014, catching up with his mortal enemy.

Perhaps, for Messi and Ronaldo themselves and their fans, they enjoy this situation of competing for hegemony; but for more neutral fans, this situation is a bit boring.

In the past seven years, they have been hoping that someone can break this situation, but no one can really shake Melo's status.

Seven years later, a man named Bruno Fernandez finally stepped forward and broke the monopoly of the two most powerful players on this highest honor in world football.

It can be said that even if these two teams do not have Messi and Ronaldo, they are still the favorites to win the Champions League.

But what does Udinese have? Di Natale is at best a well-known star in Italy, but in European football as a whole, he is still not enough. He is only a second-rate star, and he is already 38 years old.

Guidolin hugged Bruno and murmured in his ear: "You deserve this, Bruno! You deserve it!"

………………

Although Messi is worse than Ronaldo in terms of personal data, he still has a clear advantage over Ronaldo in terms of votes. This is due to Barcelona winning the La Liga championship and the Copa del Rey last season, and Real Madrid, where Cristiano Ronaldo is, is empty of all four majors, with no team honors at all.

On January 17, a highlight match in the 20th round of Serie A started at the Friuli Stadium, with Udinese facing Juventus.

Bruno was complaining about Guidolin. For more than two years, the media have always said that Udinese is a team owned by Bruno alone, and that Guidolin is actually of no use. Anyone who takes the coaching job can achieve such results.

………………

Despite rising to second place in the standings, Juventus is still 12 points behind Udinese. If they lose again in this game and fall 15 points behind Udinese just after the halfway mark, then they may be out of this year's Serie A championship!

Therefore, Juventus cannot afford to lose in this game!

Before the game, Udinese also arranged a special appearance ceremony for Bruno.

After the two teams came out, they did not go directly onto the court, but lined up in two teams at the exit of the player tunnel. In such a warm welcome, Bruno appeared with the Ballon d'Or trophy.

After shaking hands with Bruno, Kaka awarded the Ballon d'Or trophy to Bruno.

On January 12, the famous Italian media Corriere della Sera designed a well-received front page: a large photo of Bruno standing in front of a microphone holding the Ballon d'Or trophy. Above the photo was the headline of the news: "From now on For starters, please call him 'Mr. Golden Ball'!"

When it comes to Udinese, everyone only thinks of Bruno. As for who the head coach of Udinese is, no one cares.

The TV broadcast showed a close-up of Guidolin. The old man was sitting in his seat, smiling, and there was even a hint of shyness on his face. Obviously he was a little embarrassed that his apprentice praised him publicly on such an occasion.

The headline on the front page of another Italian media, Gazzetta dello Sport, was "Bruno wins the 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or, world football enters a new era."

The applause continued.

This game was originally scheduled for December 17 last year, but due to Udinese traveling to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup, it was postponed until now.

If it is Barcelona and Real Madrid, it is natural to win the Champions League, because the overall strength of these two teams is quite strong. In addition to Messi, Barcelona also has Neymar, Suarez, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquet In addition to Ronaldo, Real Madrid also has top stars such as Bale, Benzema, Modric, Kroos, Ronaldo, Ramos, Marcelo and other top stars.

Afterwards, Bruno walked up to Guidolin and said, "I have to thank you very much, coach."

As for Salah, Kanter, Cancelo and the like, they are not even second-rate stars. At most, they are newcomers with a certain degree of popularity.

Finally, Bruno picked up the Golden Globe trophy and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I like winning, I like championships, I like... this! I will come next year! Thank you!"

However, the result was that Udinese led by Bruno defeated the more powerful Real Madrid and Barcelona in a head-to-head duel!

Bruno took the trophy, looked down, and then walked behind the podium, ready to express his thanks.

This result is not unexpected, because in 2015, Bruno had a very obvious advantage over Messi and Ronaldo in terms of personal performance and team honors.

However, their opponent Lazio does not want to involve too much energy in the Italian Cup.

Therefore, Bruno finally defeated Messi and Ronaldo, who were in their prime, and won the 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or. This was the best reward for Bruno in the past year.

Under such circumstances, they naturally do not want to focus on the Italian Cup.

For this game, just like last season, Guidolin simply chose to send the substitute lineup to play. The meaning of giving up the Italian Cup could not be more obvious.

During the whole process, everyone in the theater hall stood up and applauded him. This is an honor that the number one star in world football in 2015 should enjoy.

In this process, Bruno's role as the core of the team becomes more important and obvious.

This is a game that attracts worldwide attention!

This is dedicated to Mr. Shinko Golden Ball, and Bruno deserves it.

The Blue Eagles have already reached the knockout rounds of the Europa League, but in the league they are only ranked ninth after half-time, and their European spots are in short supply.

The audience burst into applause. In the midst of such applause, Bruno stood up from his seat and hugged Ronaldo next to him.

"I would like to especially thank my coach at Udinese, Mr. Guidolin, who provided me with a stage like Udinese. I know that many media have treated him unfairly, but I If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be where I am today. The most important person in a team is always the head coach, not a certain player.”

"...I have to thank my team, Udinese. I know why I was able to win this award. It was my teammates and coaches at Udinese who gave me this opportunity to win this award with them. Champions League and Serie A title, I’m very happy!”

………………

After the two hugged each other, Bruno turned and walked towards the podium.

At the end of the second half of Serie A, Udinese ranked first with 51 points, while Juventus, after a bad start, used a wave of nine consecutive victories to catch up to second place in the standings. s position.

The applause subsided and everyone took their seats.

But this weekend, Udinese's game is at home.

Without Bruno, let alone the Champions League and Serie A championships, they would not have even won the Italian Cup.

As the dust settles on the FIFA Ballon d'Or, the scores of the candidates have also been announced. Bruno has a clear advantage. He received 41.88% of the votes, while Messi and Ronaldo received 21.17% and 9.86% respectively.

At 8:45 pm local time in Italy on January 12, a make-up match in the fifth round of the Italian Cup was held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Bruno walked up to the rostrum and shook hands with the two FIFA executive presidents who came to the scene, followed by Kaká, the award-giving guest.

Such a small team located in a small city in northeastern Italy was able to win the Champions League and Serie A championships only because of Bruno.

Seeing him come out, the packed Friuli Stadium erupted into a huge cheer, and teammates and opponents standing on both sides also applauded.

Bruno's ability to get so many votes has a lot to do with his team.

………………

………………

Bruno looked down at the trophy, then put it aside, and then he said: "I am very grateful to everyone for giving me this award..."

Everyone obviously took this factor into consideration when voting. Many people felt that providing help in times of need is far more important than adding icing on the cake. It is much more difficult to lead Udinese to win the championship than to lead Barcelona and Real Madrid to win. It is human nature to sympathize with the weak.

"Special thanks to my family. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been able to persist until today. In fact, I almost gave up football. It was my parents who encouraged me and gave me the opportunity that allowed me to stand here today. You express my gratitude.”

As a result, after 90 minutes of fierce fighting between the two teams, both teams sent out substitute lineups, the home team Lazio won 2:1.

Now Bruno openly complains to his head coach on such an occasion, which can be regarded as a response to some of the previous questions from the media.

Since Bruno's first game after winning the FIFA Ballon d'Or was away from home, and it was a strategically abandoned Coppa Italia, it was naturally impossible for Bruno to go to someone else's territory to show off his Ballon d'Or trophy.

Whether this is Bruno's comfort to Ronaldo, or Ronaldo's congratulations to Bruno, in short, this action can show the world that there is no conflict between them.

Forty thousand fans at the Friuli Stadium shouted: "Mr. Golden Ball! Mr. Golden Ball!! Mr. Golden Ball!!!"

Bruno raised the trophy high amidst cheers. This was the highlight of his career!

From now on, please call him Mr. Golden Ball!
