Athlete Award, in addition to other awards such as Lifetime Achievement Award, Sportsmanship Award and Craft Sports Foundation Award.

In 2006, the Laureus Awards came to Barcelona, ​​Spain for the first time. A massive awards night was held at the Barcelona City Hall. A large number of heavyweights in the entertainment, sports and business fields were invited to help out. There was also a live broadcast of the entire award ceremony. It is packaged to be as good as the Oscars in the film industry.

Perhaps because the Red Rebels were shortlisted for three Lawrence Awards this year, Xiao Yu was invited to attend the Lawrence Awards. Also present with him was his girlfriend, the gorgeous Eva Snow. The two stepped onto the red carpet for Lawrence like they were golden children.

Beckham, who has returned from injury and is undergoing laboratory inspections, attended this event with his wife Victoria, while Kaka attended with his girlfriend Caroline, and Messi, who was shortlisted for the best newcomer, was shy. A person appears.

As soon as the stars and stars of the popular rebels appeared at the venue, they immediately aroused enthusiastic cheers from the fans at the scene, especially Beckham and Kaká. Both players have quite amazing reputations even in Spain. Appeal.

The mayors of Barcelona, ​​Clos and Lawrence, were appointed as the "Chairmen" to host the awards ceremony.

This award ceremony is broadcast live to a global audience, and the number of viewers is expected to exceed 1 billion. Therefore, the entire venue is crowded with countless stars, including the King and Queen of Spain who are also present in person. In addition, Bobby Charlton and German tennis star Baker Er, NBA legend Michael Jordan and others also appeared at the venue, and they are also members of the Lawrence Sports Academy.

In addition, many Hollywood influences and Spanish stars came to the venue, but all of them were immediately taken away from the limelight after Xiao Yu and Eva Snow entered the venue.

Eva Snow is known as the most beautiful woman in the world. She is also a box office master. Almost all the movies she starred in have been successful at the box office. Coupled with her gentle and pleasant personality, she She is very popular in Vanity Fair Hollywood. In addition, she is also one of the major shareholders of DreamWorks. She also directs her own movies, which can be said to be versatile.

She has gradually overtaken Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston and others, becoming a goddess in the eyes of countless men around the world, especially when she announced that she would temporarily leave the film industry to concentrate on giving birth to a child for Xiao Yu. This made Xiao Yu the public enemy of countless male movie fans, but all this was gradually accepted as the two people's lives became sweet.

The combination of male talent and female appearance undoubtedly made Xiao Yu and Eva Snow the focus of the venue. Especially the Red Rebels led by Xiao Yu are now one of the protagonists tonight, which naturally attracts more attention to Xiao Yu. .

Eva Snow took Victoria to chat with many familiar female guests, while Xiao Yu took Beckham, Kaka and others to visit Bobby Charlton. The old Jazz was in good health. Look Xiao Yu was also very happy when he arrived. He expressed that he was proud of the Red Rebels' current achievements.

"By the way, Xiao Yu, I wonder if you are interested in joining Lawrence Sports Society?" Bobby Charlton suddenly asked.

"Me?" Xiao Yu was a little surprised.

"Yes, they all hope that you can become the honorary 'chairman' of the Laureus Sports Society and help promote the Lawrence Awards." After saying that, Bobby Charlton introduced Xiao Yu to the responsibilities of the honorary 'chairman'.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the honorary "chairman" is just a sinecure, but for Xiao Yu, being able to be associated with the Oscars in the sports world is a recognition of Xiao Yu and the Red Rebels.

Xiao Yu originally thought that Redondo would be a very suitable candidate, but Bobby Charlton said with a smile that Redondo could only become a member and join the jury, but the honorary "chairman" is not just anyone. Can take responsibility.

From Bobby Charlton's words, Xiao Yu vaguely heard a hint, that is, if he serves as the honorary "chairman", he can invite Redondo to join the jury and become one of the members of the Lawrence Prize. This For Redondo, it is the biggest recognition in itself. After all, being able to join this ranks are all famous players in the sports world, such as Jordan, Pele and others.

"Okay, Sir, I will think about it!" Xiao Yu agreed with a smile.

Bobby Charlton nodded: "Then I'm waiting for your good news!"

If they can attract a rising star like Xiao Yu to join, this in itself will greatly enhance the influence of the Lawrence Award. Originally, they wanted to invite Barcelona's "Chairman" Laporta, but Bobby Charlton immediately *** Xiao Yu, as a result, Xiao Yu immediately defeated Laporta.

Although he is only the honorary "Chairman", this is actually a great opportunity to increase his influence on Xiao Yu and the Red Rebel Army.

Returning to the seat arranged for her by the organizing committee, as soon as she sat down, Eva Snow got rid of the pester and sat down next to Xiao Yu, complaining coquettishly about the fans' entanglement. .

Xiao Yu told her about Bobby Charlton's invitation to serve as the honorary "chairman" of the Laurence Awards. Eva Snow also felt that this was a good opportunity and persuaded Xiao Yu to accept it. After all, this was the honorary chair of the Lawrence Awards. A coveted position.

Even Eva Snow said this, and Xiao Yu no longer hesitated.

At this Lawrence Awards Ceremony, Barcelona Mayor Carlos took the lead to give a speech. On behalf of Spain, he thanked all the guests and athletes who came to the scene. He hoped that everyone would have a good night.

Afterwards, the "Chairman" of the Lawrence judges came on stage and officially announced the start of the awards ceremony.

The first award to take the lead is the World's Best Disabled Athlete of the Year Award. This award was won by South African wheelchair runner Van Dyke, who had just won the championship in the wheelchair race.

This was closely followed by the Best Extreme Athlete of the Year, won by the Italian gliding player Dialigo, followed by the Annual Charity Sports Fund Award, won by the German Griesbeck who is engaged in street football vision, and the Lifetime Achievement Award was won by the Dutch Cruyff won.

After several less influential awards, a big award finally came, that is, Rookie of the Year.

In addition to Leo Messi of the Red Rebels, the nominees for this year's Laureus Newcomer of the Year include Spanish tennis prodigy Nadal, golfer Paula Creamer, tennis player Andrew Murray, and rugby legend Ben Ruth. Lisberg, and beautiful girl driver Danica Patrick.

Although Messi has performed well in the Premier League and Champions League on behalf of the Red Rebels this season and is a popular candidate for Rookie of the Year, Nadal is also very good. At the age of 19, he won the first time in the competition. When he participated in the French Open, he defeated the king Federer and won the French Open championship. At the same time, he and Federer won 11 championships.

However, Messi relies on the outstanding results of the Red Rebels. In addition, the Red Rebels won the Champions League last season and at the same time won the World Club Championship and became the world champion. Messi’s His outstanding performance made him highly praised for this award.

Seeing Messi sitting aside who was a little nervous, Xiao Yu smiled and comforted him. Beckham and others took the opportunity to make fun of him, but this did not relieve Messi's nervousness at all, especially When Klos called out Messi's name on the stage, he almost froze.

Not only was he stunned, but even Xiao Yu and others were also very surprised. Although Messi's voice was loud, everyone could see how difficult it is for football to win an individual award. From this point of view Look, this is evident by the fact that almost no football player has ever won an individual Laureus award.

The only Lawrence individual award was awarded to a football player. It was in 2003. The best comeback player was awarded to Ronaldo, but at that time he won the award with the glory of Brazil's successful win of the Champions League. In addition, there are No footballer can claim the individual award again.

Is this year’s Lawrence Awards going to change this situation?

Messi came to the stage with a blushing face and took the award symbolizing Rookie of the Year from Klos. He hesitated and stood in front of the microphone, seeming to be thinking about what he wanted to say.

"Has he never thought about winning a prize before?" Xiao Yu turned around and asked Kaka in confusion.

Kaka shook his head and said with a smile: "He really didn't think about it!"

Xiao Yu secretly yelled, "Oh my God," he didn't know what kind of joke the shy Messi would make right now.

"Uh..." Messi finally spoke up, immediately causing a commotion at the scene. "It's great to win a trophy like this!" His sincere words detonated the entire audience, and everyone I must be thinking, God, this kid is so cute!

"I never thought I would perform well. I know that I have to thank many people for helping me and encouraging me, including my head coach Mr. Mourinho, my good friends Kaká and Baker. Ham, Curtis and others, I want to thank all my teammates, please forgive me, I can’t mention the names of everyone I want to thank here because time is limited!”

This sentence once again made everyone in the audience burst into laughter. It was very sincere and frank, but no one would ever say it so seriously.

"But I must solemnly thank my most respected Mr. Xiao Yu. Without you, there would be no Red Rebels, and there would be no Leo Messi. I will always belong to the Red Rebels. I long to play here until I retire. All the honors you receive belong to you and the Red Rebels!"

The entire venue was silent for a full 2 ​​seconds before suddenly bursting into the warmest applause ever.

Everyone has watched "One Goal to Become Famous" and knows about Messi's past with Xiao Yu and the Red Rebels. Everyone who has watched the movie will talk about this relationship. Everyone can understand why Messi Speak such sincere and touching words.

Amidst thunderous applause, Messi walked off the stage. Xiao Yu stood up with applause. Under the attention of everyone in the audience and the TV cameras, he hugged Messi tightly, and then he was as close as a big brother. He was fiddling with Messi's hair with a happy smile on his face, and Messi was like a younger brother showing off to his elder brother, with eyes full of respect for his elder brother.

After the Best Newcomer was awarded, the Best Comeback Athlete Award was also awarded. This award was won by Swiss tennis player Hingis. She won the Australian Open Mixed Doubles gold medal in her first Grand Slam event after her comeback this year. .

The subsequent Sportsmanship Award of the Year was awarded to Italian motorcycle superstar Rossi, who won five consecutive World Motorcycle Championships.

The Best Female Athlete of the Year was awarded to Croatian ski star Kostelic. She is the first female athlete to win four gold medals in the history of alpine skiing at the Winter Olympics. Lawrence is the only one to receive two nominations this year. Clijsters ended up empty-handed.

This Belgian professional tennis player suffered two injuries and took a break from tennis in 2004. In 2005, her world ranking dropped to 133rd. However, she rebounded quickly after returning from injury and won the Pacific Life Insurance Cup and the Nasdaq. He won two first-level championships at the Starkey 100 Open and won 9 tour singles titles including the US Open.

It was precisely because of her outstanding results in 2005 that Clijsters successfully won two awards for Best Female Athlete and Best Comeback of the Year, but in the end she lost to Hingis and Kostelic. This is unfortunate. It would be a great pity not to say it.

Following the Female Athlete of the Year is the Team of the Year.

In addition to the Red Rebels, the finalists for the best team include FC Barcelona, ​​the Croatian Tennis Team, the New Zealand Rugby Team, the F1 Renault Team, and the San Antonio Spurs of the first-level NBA. It can be said that the challenges faced by the Red Rebels are not at all. Small.

This award has always been the most fiercely competitive among football clubs. France, Brazil, Manchester United and Greece have all won this award after their peak. Barcelona has won two consecutive La Liga championships and the team has won the championship in the world. world popularity and influence, but professionals believe that Barcelona is unlikely to win against the Red Rebels. After all, the Red Rebels performed very well in 2005. In addition to the Champions League, they also have the World Club Championship. and second in the Premier League.

Looking at the nominations, the only one that can compete with the Red Rebels and Barcelona is the F1 Renault team. This team that won the 2005 F1 championship is also very popular, so before the award ceremony, there are many According to media analysis, not surprisingly, the best team will fall into the hands of these three nominees.

After a period of deliberation, Klos came to the microphone on behalf of the organizing committee. As the mayor of Barcelona, ​​he naturally hopes that Barcelona can win the award. This is also regarded as a major reason for Lawrence to come to Barcelona to hold the award ceremony. factor.

Cruyff just won the Lifetime Achievement Award, and a large part of the reason why he won the award came from Barcelona. Everyone knows that he single-handedly created Barcelona's tactical system, and he also created Barcelona's youth culture. training system.

Cruyff won the Lifetime Achievement Award, and Barcelona won the Laureus Team of the Year for two consecutive La Liga championships. This is simply a match made in heaven, and the ending couldn't be more perfect!

With this in mind, Cross opened the list of winners in his hand with a smile!
