After the victory over Valencia, Ronaldo came to Qin Xiong's side on the way back to Madrid. Just like van Nistelrooy's sword was not old, Raúl's strong recovery, Ronaldo also realized that if his career in Real Madrid had a turning point, he would have to rely on Qin Xiong's support in the arena.
Therefore, he took the initiative to come to Qin Xiong's side to chat with him. The two men had a pleasant conversation, and at the end of the conversation, Ronaldo invited Qin Xiong for the second time to have a small drink to celebrate the victory of the game.
Qin Xiong could understand his excitement, but he had other things to do. Moreover, subconsciously, he did not want to go out with Ronaldo, especially to places like pubs and nightclubs.
Not only the Spanish media, but even the Brazilian media would frequently report on Ronaldo's private life. It could not be said that it was decadent, but at least it was not a positive example.
Qin Xiong would occasionally go to relax, but he would never treat the nightlife as an important part of his life.
"I have to get up early tomorrow to go to France. Sorry."
Qin Xiong used his attendance at the Ballon d 'Or awards ceremony as an excuse. Ronaldo only remembered it after hearing it.
He didn't show any regret. Instead, he sincerely wished that Qin Xiong would be able to obtain a good result tomorrow.
Ronaldo should be able to realize that with van Nistelrooy's injury in the Mestalla Stadium, he would have more opportunities to play in the next game, so he hoped to get closer to Qin Xiong.
The tacit understanding between top players was far easier than the cooperation between teammates with inferior strength. Ronaldo felt that there were no obstacles between him and Qin Xiong. The only question was whether Qin Xiong was willing to support him more and let him become the most dazzling player on the field.
Perhaps it was widely known that the strikers determined the goals of the game and had a great influence on the outcome of the game. However, the strikers who played football should be more aware that the person behind them who could determine their fate was the team's commander!
Raúl's recovery was no longer shocking news. It was only accompanied by the Spanish media calling on Aragones to recall Raúl to the national team.
The fact that Ronaldo was able to break the ice at the Mestalla Stadium became a major piece of news that the media scrambled to report, especially since Ruud van Nistelrooy was diagnosed with an injury and would only be able to return to the team after the winter break. Real Madrid's remaining games of the year, as well as the games in January next year, might have to rely on Ronaldo.
The fate of the aliens seemed to have ushered in a turning point.
.....
Early morning of November 27th.
Qin Xiong and Sylvia woke up from their dreams. They lay on their sides and stared at each other.
Sylvia gently stroked his cheek. Seeing Qin Xiong in a daze, she asked softly, "Dear, are you thinking about the Golden Ball Awards?"
Qin Xiong came back to his senses and nodded without hiding anything.
In his world, other than first place, everything else was meaningless.
This was similar to the nature of the cruel competition in football: there was only one winner!
Not to mention the third place, even the runner-up would only be forgotten in the long river of history.
Sylvia leaned forward and hugged him. She encouraged him, "I believe you will realize this dream. Don't be immersed in this meaningless thinking."
Qin Xiong smiled and said, "Get up. We have to dress up today."
The two then got up and went into the bathroom to wash up. After a simple breakfast at home, they returned to the bedroom.
Sylvia first carefully selected a slim-fit suit from the wardrobe. Then she waited for Qin Xiong to put on his shirt and trousers before choosing a tie for him. She walked up to him and carefully tied the tie for him. After Qin Xiong put on his spotless leather shoes, Sylvia brought the suit jacket. He put it on and buttoned it. He stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself.
Sylvia stood behind him with her chin on his shoulder. There was a satisfied and proud smile on her face. She whispered in his ear, "The most handsome man in the world!"
After that, she kissed Qin Xiong gently on the cheek.
Qin Xiong closed his eyes and couldn't help but smile. The outside media praised him every day, but it was not as good as Sylvia's few words of praise.
He turned and walked to the wardrobe. He chose a simple white evening gown for Sylvia. After Sylvia put it on, he stood behind her and pulled up the zipper for her. The positions of the two changed. Sylvia stood in front of the mirror. Qin Xiong gently hugged her waist from behind and looked at the woman in the mirror who would definitely amaze any man who saw her for the first time.
"The most beautiful woman in the world!"
Sylvia's eyes were like crescent moons. She turned around and took the initiative to give him a kiss.
Qin Xiong went to get a pair of high heels for her. She put on some light makeup in front of the dressing table and did a simple but very unique hairstyle. After Qin Xiong put on the high heels for her, he took out a pair of diamond earrings from the jewelry box and put them on her.
After the two of them were roughly done, Qin Xiong picked up the jewelry box on the dressing table and took out his man's ring from it and put it on.
Usually, whether it was training or competitions, he would not wear a ring to avoid a small probability of injury, whether it was to himself, his teammates, or his opponents.
When he attended outside events, especially when he was with Sylvia, he would always wear an engagement ring.
He cared about Sylvia's feelings. He wanted to give her the greatest sense of security.
So he would tell the world that he and Sylvia were engaged. It was just that they hadn't held a wedding yet.
Although Sylvia didn't say it, she always felt sweet in her heart.
After the two of them finished tidying up, they waited in the living room on the first floor.
At ten o 'clock in the morning, Real Madrid President Calderón and club director Mijatović came to pick up Qin Xiong. They first went to pick up Cannavaro.
The team newspaper group rented a private jet and was responsible for sending the four protagonists, Calderón, Mijatović, Qin Xiong, and Cannavaro, to Paris, France.
When they got on the private jet, Qin Xiong greeted Cannavaro.
Usually, the two of them had little communication in the locker room, but now it was a little awkward.
Cannavaro now realized that his fate had not been decided yet!
Who would be this year's Ballon d 'Or winner would be announced in the afternoon!
He had reason to be nervous and even more reason to panic.
Because he had previously hinted to the world that he would win the Ballon d 'Or.
Qin Xiong, on the other hand, was indifferent. He only treated today as a formality.
No one would care about what the second or third place said.
After arriving in Paris at noon, the Real Madrid group had dinner in a mid-to-high-end restaurant in Paris.
After the meal, they went to the hotel they had booked to rest.
Because everyone would leave in the evening, only three rooms were booked. Qin Xiong and Sylvia shared one room, Cannavaro shared another, and Calderón and Mijatović made do with one room.
