He was mischievous on the pitch, but very low-profile off it, so much so that he, once the leading figure among the "Three Rs" of Rivaldo, Ronaldo, and Ronaldinho, became the one with the least presence in the fans' hearts.
Such a person would not take issue with Deng Kai's comments.
Similarly, Beckham felt a bit better after hearing what Deng Kai had said.
Victoria was even happier.
Whether or not the Golden Ball award was important to her was irrelevant; instead, Beckham's deep-rooted handsomeness was perhaps of even greater value to Victoria.
Without a doubt, Deng Kai's remarks had highlighted Beckham's overlooked strength, which would become his trademark in the future!
Victoria had already thought about how to market this trademark.
And other professional footballers also agreed with Deng Kai's point of view.
Due to differing leagues, it was common for several players to be eligible for the Golden Ball award at the same time.
Choosing one of them was fine, of course.
