King Of World Football

Chapter 660: Generous Wang Feng



Chapter 660: Generous Wang Feng

Wang Feng, the god of football with ten Ballon d'Or awards, is unrivaled in the football world!

When the Chinese superstar received the 2013 FIFA Ballon d'Or trophy from Di Stefano, major media outlets immediately released pre-prepared reports and commentary articles.

Spain's "National Newspaper" stated that this was Wang Feng's eighth consecutive win of this prestigious award. Both the total number of wins and consecutive wins have become insurmountable records.

"One person scored a total of 110 goals in a single season (30 goals and 39 assists in the league, 13 goals and 13 assists in the Champions League, 4 goals and 1 assist in cup matches, and 7 goals and 3 assists for the national team), helping Real Madrid defend their league and Champions League titles and helping the Chinese national team win the Confederations Cup."

"Such astonishing achievements are the best proof of the Chinese superstar's award. The outcome was already a foregone conclusion early in the selection process."

"It's not that Wang Feng needs the Ballon d'Or to prove his worth, but rather that the Ballon d'Or needs Wang Feng to prove its authority and fairness in the football world."

France's "Team Newspaper" stated that there was no suspense at all. Under the gaze of the Real Madrid legend, Wang Feng lifted his tenth Ballon d'Or trophy, embracing his wife Lu Yao before stepping onto the stage to accept the award.

Over the years, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo, among many other talented players, have always been overshadowed by the Chinese superstar. He is the greatest and most unique representative of his era.

Inadvertently, he has continuously raised the standards of the Ballon d'Or selection. Perhaps in the future, as time erodes all, new Ballon d'Or winners will emerge, and people will vehemently dispute due to the comparison gap, hardly ever witnessing such dominating figures again.

Britain's "Sky Sports" reported with the title "Who Can End the Era of the God?" They stated that at 30 years and 185 days old, the Chinese superstar still stands tall, with all records seemingly insignificant before him.

Cristiano Ronaldo's late surge in the voting allowed him to surpass Dong Zhuo and Messi to take second place, but the Portuguese knew very well that he couldn't threaten Wang Feng's status.

In the new season, his performance remains consistently despairing, but everyone is awaiting new opportunities. This summer's World Cup in Brazil is the best chance to end the era of the god.

Germany's "Kicker" meticulously reviewed the second-place finishes in the ten Ballon d'Or selections, perhaps vying for second place in this era is the ultimate goal for many players.

In 2003 and 2006, it was Henry, in 2004, it was Deco, in 2007 and 2008, it was Cristiano Ronaldo, from 2009 to 2011, it was Messi, in 2012, it was Iniesta, and this year, it was Cristiano Ronaldo again.

The Portuguese star surpassed the Argentine's three-time silver Ballon d'Or record. "For 28-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo, this is extremely difficult. When he became famous and stood by Wang Feng's side early on, he did not expect to face a situation where he would gradually fall behind, and even once dropped out of the top three."

Originally, "Kicker" was just sighing over the struggles of the challengers under the god of football, but it sparked a new round of debate about the "Double Jewels." Is Messi once again overtaken by Cristiano Ronaldo? Who will become the leader of football after the Wang Feng era?

Naturally, more people chose the Argentine star. Whether in terms of age or skill, he has the advantage. "Marca" commented, "When a club has a large amount of transfer funds, they will first consider Wang Feng, followed by Messi, and finally other players like Cristiano Ronaldo."

"Sport" pointed out that the delayed deadline during the selection process affected the rankings. Messi should have received second place. "There is no doubt that the Portuguese star performed well in the World Cup playoffs, but it should not count in this year's Ballon d'Or selection."

"The Times" had a different opinion. "Cristiano Ronaldo is a fighter who is always in battle. Sometimes he may appear slightly inferior, but he will never decline. He can always passionately turn the tide of adversity, which is very similar to Wang Feng."

In front of the disciplined Portuguese star, age will not be a barrier. Cristiano Ronaldo will surely have a longer professional peak than Messi.

Wang Feng's milestone achievement of winning his tenth Ballon d'Or, also marks Real Madrid's thirteenth Ballon d'Or in history. The Galacticos overwhelmingly became the club with the most Ballon d'Or wins.

Congratulations from the sports world poured in, they were not only the kings of the Champions League but also the indisputable kings of the Ballon d'Or.

Next is Juventus, with seven wins. Sivori (1961), Rossi (1982), Baggio (1993), Zidane (1998), and Platini (1983-1985) each won once. As for Barcelona, they only have five wins. Suarez (1960), Stoichkov (1994), Rivaldo (1999), and Cruyff (1973, 1974) each won twice.

After the awards ceremony, Ramos was the first to congratulate: "Honestly, the result was expected, but it still feels extremely exciting."

"Wang continues to create unreachable records, as a teammate, I feel honored and proud. With him on the field, we feel very reassured, both on and off the field," Marcelo said.

Marcelo stated that the team's achievements were inseparable from Wang Feng's performance. He is the most important core, and it's not surprising that he can continue to dominate football. "He deserves any honor or praise."

Other Real Madrid players also left messages of congratulations on social media. "It's the greatest luck of my life to fight side by side with you!" Modric expressed his somewhat "sappy" sentiment.

Old friends like Raul, Guti, Ronaldo, Sávori, Shevchenko, and others also spoke out, almost all well-known football stars sent their congratulations. In today's age of the internet, the connections and status of the Chinese superstar are particularly prominent.

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo also expressed their respect and congratulations to the football seniors, each posting their own photos with Wang Feng.

Interestingly, it was originally a three-person photo, but they independently cropped out each other, leaving only themselves and the Chinese superstar. This caused much speculation for a while, it seems that disputes on the internet can indeed affect real-life relationships.

It's as if, back then, when Wang Feng and Ronaldinho were constantly hyped by the media as "alternatives," it wasn't until Ronaldinho left the European stage that the two truly eased into being able to connect as friends.

And Wang Feng is tirelessly thanking everyone who blessed him, and posted a photo of himself and everyone lifting the Ballon d'Or trophy together on the training ground, with the caption: "This honor belongs to Real Madrid, to my lovely teammates!"

In addition, he prepared a heavyweight gift for everyone, a top-of-the-line Rolex with the individual's name engraved on it, each worth around 100,000 euros, totaling more than forty. Every player and staff member received one.

"It's too extravagant," Isco couldn't help but marvel at the sparkling diamond-studded dial. Varane, who is one year younger than him but has been in the first team at Real Madrid for longer, said, "Wang has always been generous. This is also one of the reasons why everyone loves and supports him."

On festive occasions and when receiving awards, the Chinese superstar always prepares some small gifts for everyone. Most of them are customized styles from high-end brands he endorses, which are quite valuable and also show his thoughtfulness.

"A powerful and kind leader, cheerful and generous, such leaders are simply rare. You will understand in the future."
