After the match, Andy asked the club for leave.
The reason is that his incredible long-range lob shot made it into the final three shortlist for the Puskás Award!
Furthermore, Tom obtained inside information about the organizing committee.
Andy is far ahead in the votes!
We have to thank the fans in China for their help!
The Puskás Award is determined by online voting by fans worldwide.
After Andy was selected, the number of votes increased at an unstoppable pace!
In this world, if you can win by sheer numbers.
The Chinese people will definitely teach the organizers a lesson they won't forget!
On the plane, Andy watched the goals scored by the other two candidates.
These are Wendell Lira's spectacular bicycle kick goal on March 11, 2015, in a match in Goiano state, Brazil.
And then there's Messi's goal in the Copa del Rey final in May 2015, where he dribbled past four players.
This was Andy's first time attending such an important occasion, so he lacked experience in various aspects.
On the contrary, Teacher Tom was incredibly skilled!
From the dress to the makeup, everything was done with great expertise!
Andy felt that he had been wasting his talents by working as an assistant coach at Benfica!
Since joining Dortmund, he has taken on all the big and small tasks except for training!
They still refuse to accept high wages!
Sometimes Andy really wanted to ask his father if Tom was related to him by blood.
When everything was ready, Andy received a call from Neymar.
"Congratulations in advance, bro!"
"Thank you!Congratulations in advance on being selected for the All-NBA Team.See you this evening!"
Andy certainly knew that Neymar could never win both the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards!
But being the third best player in the world during the Messi-Ronaldo era was already quite remarkable!
It is worth mentioning that the FIFA President's Award was suspended this year due to Blatter's suspension.
A truly shameful award!
It's better not to issue it at all!
At 5 p.m., accompanied by Tom, Andy arrived at FIFA headquarters in Zurich by car.
As soon as the car came to a stop, the fans at the scene erupted in deafening cheers and screams!
They chanted the names of their favorite players, their voices echoing like surging waves, one after another, throughout the stadium!
The entire scene was instantly ignited with enthusiasm!
Numerous media reporters swarmed forward, carrying video cameras, still cameras, and recording equipment, vying for the best shooting positions.
After Andy got out of the car, flashes of light from cameras went off all around him like twinkling stars!
The sound of camera shutters rose and fell in a continuous stream!
A reporter stood by and loudly asked him about his feelings and thoughts upon arriving at the scene.
This feeling is completely different from when I'm on the court!
For the first time, Andy felt immense pressure!
Fortunately, he had sunglasses that his teacher had prepared in advance, which helped him hide his nervousness.
Staff members immediately came over to provide guidance!
They were dressed in uniform and communicated and coordinated with all parties using gestures and shouts.
He led Andy to the designated passage to the awards ceremony.
Subsequently, several more cars arrived at the scene.
Stars like Marcelo, Ramos, Pogba, Iniesta, and Alves have appeared!
These seasoned veterans have a completely different aura from Andy!
With a smile on his face, he was very composed!
As Andy entered the banquet hall, he immediately spotted Neymar in the crowd!
Neymar's eye for talent is still as sharp as ever!
They chose the prettiest hostess to speak.
Upon seeing Andy, he immediately extended his hand in greeting!
Everyone else also looked at Andy!
She wore a custom-made black DM suit, paired with a white evening shirt and a black bow tie.
The exquisite tailoring perfectly fit his body, showcasing his upright posture and robust physique!
Paired with Andy's signature slicked-back hair and sunglasses.
Are these players attending an awards ceremony?
It looks like the Italian Mafia is having a meeting!
Under Neymar's introduction, Andy shook hands with everyone around him.
After a short while, Andy, who had already gotten used to the atmosphere, quietly found his seat and sat down.
He silently memorized the speech he had prepared in advance!
Faced with such a tense situation, Andy also has his own stress-relieving tips.
That's just you making fun of yourself!
For example, imagine in your mind that when you go on stage, your first words will be a tribute to Mr.Zhao Benshan.
"Thank you CCTV, thank you MTV."
Half an hour later, all the invited guests and players arrived!
After Neymar led Andy to meet his Barcelona teammates, Marcelo also came over.
For some reason, the Brazilian players all seemed to come over and greet Andy.
After that, Andy became acquainted with Real Madrid players such as Ramos and Modric.
When he met Ronaldo, the latter pointed to the big screen!
"That was a cool kick!"
Andy smiled sheepishly, then pointed to the Golden Globe Awards on the poster.
Their eyes met, and Ronaldo understood Andy's meaning, smiling slightly in return.
Before long, the awards ceremony officially began!
British actor Nesbitt and Sky Sports presenter Abdo served as emcees!
First, let's unveil the World Professional Footballers' Association All-Star Team!

The Fair Play Award was given to all football organizations that support refugees.
Former South African international and 2000 Fair Play Award winner, Radebe, served as the award presenter, while former German international player Agamooa accepted the award on stage.
Then, the host began writing the inscription for the Puskás Prize!
The screen then played highlights of the three candidate players' goals!
When Messi's goal was replayed, cheers erupted from the stadium.
When it was Andy's and another candidate Lila's turn, their voices were noticeably softer.
At this moment, former Japanese soccer star Hidetoshi Nakata went on stage to present the award!
When he opened the envelope and saw the name on it.
His face immediately lit up with a smile!
As an Asian player, this name brings him both glory and honor!
"The winner of the 2015 Goal of the Year award is."
"Andy!"
Accompanied by energetic music and flashing lights!
Everyone looked at Andy, who was sitting in the corner!
who I am?
Where am I?
Why are my legs not working properly again?
As Andy walked out of the aisle, Neymar in the front row gave him a hug!
"You deserve it, brother!"
