Chapter 219 FIFA Ballon d'Or
Chapter 219 FIFA Ballon d'Or
[Arsenal is marching towards the Champions League! 】
This is a very pro-Arsenal newspaper in the London area after the game. To some extent, it can be regarded as the front page headline of Arsenal's mouthpiece "North London Standard".
Although the position of the newspaper is pro-Arsenal.
But in terms of content, it is actually similar to the reports of other English newspapers after the Champions League ended.
"...Yello, who owns Arsenal, is the favorite to win the Champions League this season!"
Such an argument.
Not just the opinion of Arsenal's mouthpiece in north London, the North London Standard.
Newspapers including "Mirror", "Daily Mail", "Sky Sports" and other newspapers all believed that the first round of the group lockup group appeared in advance. Arsenal swept away the struggles in the Champions League group stage in the past few seasons, which fully demonstrated their overall strength.
And for the Arsenal players and coaches.
Can securing the first place in the group in the first round of the group match prove that he can attack the Champions League this season?
Before the start of the season, Arsenal certainly did not consider the matter of "how we will celebrate winning the Champions League this season".
After all, it is unprecedented.
And now Arsenal is also very low-key up and down.
Wenger did not want to put too much pressure on his players. He said in an interview with Sky Sports after the game: "Of course the Champions League is the dream of every team, but we don't want to think about these things before the group stage is over. Locking the first round of the group in advance allows us to have more rotation capital in the next schedule. This is of great significance to the intensive schedule that is about to enter December."
Indeed, for Arsenal, being able to lock in the first place in the group ahead of the devil's schedule will at least save the team's main players from the pain of running back and forth.
In the last round of the group stage, they can send a substitute team to the away game - from England to Greece, the distance is quite far.
After beating Montpellier [-]-[-] at home, the team's next match was an away game against Aston Villa three days later.
Aston Villa used to be a force to be reckoned with in English football for more than ten years before the Premier League era.
Aston Villa was a force to be reckoned with in the early stages of English football's earliest league development. More than 100 years ago, it once dominated English football.
Aston Villa has won the English football top league seven times.
However, except for the championship in the 1980/198 season, the other six championships were all before 1909, and even except for the 1909/1910 season (Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty), the other five championships were all won at the end of the 19th century, which was still in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty.
However, after entering the 1980th century, Aston Villa's dominance gradually disappeared, and they sank for a while, but in the [-]s, Aston Villa briefly reached its peak.
In the 1981/82 season, Aston Villa represented England in the final of the UEFA Champions League, defeated the Federal German powerhouse Bayern Munich 1-0, and kept the Champions League trophy in England, defending the honor of the English team's dominance of the European Champions Cup for six consecutive years from 1977 to 1982.
And Aston Villa also became the fourth English team to win the Champions League after Manchester United, Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
After entering the Premier League era, this team's performance has been tepid, but it has remained firmly in the middle of the league. With Villa Park at home, no team dares to underestimate them.
In this game, Arsenal encountered a tenacious resistance from Aston Villa in the away game.
The game entered a very intense confrontation with the cheers and cheers of the home team fans.
Arteta was injured in a confrontation in the first half of the game, and Chamberlain came off the bench in an emergency.
In the final stage of the first half, Aston Villa midfielder Abang Lahor shot a long-range shot through Arsenal's goal.
At the end of the first half, the home team Aston Villa led [-]-[-].
In the second half, Aston Villa fully retracted and played a defensive counterattack.
But in the end they still failed to withstand Arsenal's crazy counterattack in the second half.
Yello headed past Brad inside the box to help Arsenal find their way to victory.
In the 708th minute of the game, it was Ye Luo who completed a series of dribbles on the wing and then sent a nanny assist to Chamberlain who came in.
The cake was fed into the mouth, and Chamberlain only needed to lift his foot slightly to send the ball into the empty goal.
One to two!
Arsenal completed the overtake.
After this game.
The Premier League has fully entered the December schedule.
Arsenal's first two games in December are at home to Fulham on December 12 and away to Swansea on December 2.In these two games, Arsenal won one and drew one. They were tied by Swansea in Wales. The final score was 12 to 7. This situation has reduced Arsenal's calls for winning the championship a lot.
Immediately following the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage on December 12.
Arsenal, who went to the away game completely with substitutes, youth team and reserve team players, lost [-]-[-] to Olympiacos away.
Arsenal lost for the first time in the Champions League this season!
But now fans are not concerned about this, but the Golden Globes.
With the cameras of the Champions League and Europa League group stages over.
On the UEFA side, the draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League round of 32 and the UEFA round of [-] will be held.
at the same time.
FIFA will announce the winner of the "FIFA Ballon d'Or" in December, which combines the two awards of World Footballer and Ballon d'Or.
After the merger of the two awards of World Football and Ballon d'Or.
Messi has won two FIFA Ballon d'Or awards in 2010 and 2011.
Can he achieve a three-peat Ballon d'Or?
And Ye Luo, can he win the Golden Globe this year?
These issues, with the arrival of December, have also become popular in the media.
Especially as the voting for the Golden Globe Awards begins, there will be more news reports about the Golden Globe Awards on the media pages of various countries.
The Dragon Country media is undoubtedly very excited. In the past, the Ballon d'Or selection had little to do with Dragon Country football. Everyone just watched the fun.
But this year is different.
Ye Luo is now the biggest favorite for this year's Golden Globes.
That's why Longguo's media began to remind fans of various knowledge points about the Golden Globe Awards on the page every day when there were more than ten days before the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
Longguo National Television also came off the stage in person to create momentum for Ye Luo.
Videos of Ye Luo's various wonderful performances last season frequently appeared on the TV screens of the sports channel of the national TV station. At the same time, the sports channel began to build momentum for the live broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards 20 days in advance.
foreseeable.
The ratings of this year's Golden Globe awards ceremony in Longguo will definitely hit a new high.
The media hype in Longguo is basically self-indulgent.
Because this will not affect the selection results of the FIFA Ballon d'Or - because in terms of media influence, not to mention the football media of the Dragon Kingdom, even if the entire Dragon Kingdom's media is bundled together, it is not enough to be seen in the world.
The elder once said.
Nine out of ten media workers in the propaganda department are dead.
What can you do?
Now domestic journalism and communication students and even professors.
Don't expect them to sit upright and do a good job in publicity work.
They themselves are repeaters in China of a group of Western public opinion machines whose cerebral cortex has been washed as smooth as water droplets by other larger communication organizations.
So a real public opinion campaign.
It was still up to Yello himself—mostly Mendes and his agency's public relations department.
Mendes certainly has a very extensive network of contacts in Europe.
Otherwise he could not have become one of the most successful brokers in Europe.
under his operation.
During this period of time, the major European media are also frequently reporting Ye Luo's various achievements in the last season.
Don't think that such propaganda is useless.
After the merger of the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or, among the factors affecting whether he can be elected, "fame" is obviously an important part of it.
According to the selection rules of the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
In addition to the votes from more than 100 authoritative sports media around the world - among the relatively professional votes, the votes of these more than 100 authoritative sports media accounted for only one-third of all votes!
the other two-thirds of the vote.
It is the vote of the national team captain and head coach of each country.
It is difficult to guarantee that most of these votes were cast completely from a professional point of view.
There are many factors that affect the voting tendencies of captains and head coaches of various national teams, but the most important one is fame!
Because there are more than 200 national teams in the world, among which there are more than 100 national teams ranked lower than the Longguo national team-how professional can you expect the captains and head coaches of the national team whose international ranking is lower than the Longguo national team?
Among them, national teams such as Guam, Bhutan, and Maldives are simply teams composed of amateur players.
The coach is a physical education teacher, and the players are bricklayers, crew members, chefs. Playing football is just a part-time job.
Their voting choices may be similar to those of fans.
Basically, they voted based on their fame.
The weight of the votes of the captains and coaches of the national team composed of amateur players is the same as the votes of the World Cup champion Spain captain Iker Casillas and head coach Del Bosque.
Therefore, in some recent analysis, although Ye Luo's performance last season was perfect, from a professional point of view, no other player can be more convincing than Ye Luo in this year's Golden Globe competition.
But the Golden Globe Awards will have a large number of "irrational" votes.
These votes that fully consider the player's reputation and disregard the performance of the season may ultimately determine the candidate for the Golden Globe Award-the Catalan media analysis also admitted that this may be the only reason why Messi is likely to win the Golden Globe Award.
Because Messi is more famous than Ye Luo.
Although Ye Luo's sudden emergence in the past two seasons has attracted the attention of football all over the world.
But in terms of time to become famous, Messi is still better, and Messi has more diehard fans than Ye Luo in countries other than Dragon Kingdom.
But Ye Luo also has advantages.
Because he is an Asian player-Asia is the largest continent in the world and has the largest number of national teams. Some of the national teams may vote for Ye Luo out of the overall interests of Asian football.
South Korea and Japan's national team coaches and captains were asked by the media about Ballon d'Or voting
But they kept their secrets secret - this performance obviously they are not going to write Ye Luo's name on the ballot.
This is also normal, after all, the two countries must be envious and jealous of the presence of a Mr. Jinqiu in the neighbor of Longguo.
But some other small countries may consider the overall interests of Asian football to vote for Ye Luo.
However, the specific voting situation, now the media can only speculate.
Sometimes even the voting information that is stated in public may not be accurate-human thinking is not transparent, what can you do if people say one thing and do another.
Some media also asked the head coach Camacho and captain Zheng Zhi of the Longguo national team.
Of course, in the Ballon d'Or voting, it is also stipulated that the captain and head coach of the national team cannot vote for players from their own country.
Camacho said when facing the camera: "Of course I hope Ye Luo can win the Ballon d'Or, but I don't have the right to vote for him, so my voting order is Ronaldo, Iniesta, Ribery."
Everyone knows.
Camacho's voting order is actually showing his favor to Ye Luo.
Because this year's Ballon d'Or is the only one who might threaten Ye Luo is Messi.
Camacho's first, second and third order votes did not choose Messi.
It's just lowering Messi's score.
In other words, Camacho couldn't vote for Ye Luo, but he didn't vote for Messi either!
This is obviously doing Ye Luo a favor.
Zheng Zhi, captain of the national team, also released his vote. His vote was similar to that of the head coach of the national team, but he put Ribery at the top: Ribery, Ronaldo, and Iniesta.
The head coach and captain of the national team showed their affection to Ye Luo in the media one after another.
And let the media of Longguo be quite excited!
Many media speculated that this was an attempt by the national team to improve relations with Ye Luo.
But the media are doomed to be excited in vain.
Because when is the head coach and captain of the Longguo national team in charge?
The media and fans of Longguo are destined to be happy in vain
But everyone is used to it.
When will the Long Guo Football Association consider the mood of the fans?
Does the fan's preference matter to the bureaucrats of the Football Association?
For Ye Luo.
He also doesn't care much about the votes of the Longguo national team and captain, let alone the attitude of the Football Association.
Anyway, their influence on the selection of the Golden Globes is almost zero.
After the final round of the Champions League group stage.
Ye Luo actually received a call from his public relations director, Ms. Vera.
On the phone, Ms. Vera told Ye Luo.
The Long Guo Football Association contacted Ye Luo's agent Mendes in private, hoping to send officials from the Football Association to go with him at the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony.
Ye Luo's answer to this was: "Let them stay where it is cool!"
Of course Ye Luo knew that the people from the Football Association wanted to attend the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony together for the purpose of just rubbing off.
How could Ye Luo give them this chance.
Later, the domestic media broke the matter.
Some public opinion thinks that the Football Association is stepping down Ye Luo, but Ye Luo doesn't give the Football Association any face, it is simply impolite.
But in fact, most fans support Ye Luo's approach.
No matter what you do, grab credit No.1.
"Go to the FA!"
Not only did this news not affect Ye Luo.
Instead, the Long Guo Football Association encountered a new round of Internet explosions.
Make them hide inside the turtle shell again.
Yello flew to Zurich, Switzerland, which is the headquarters of FIFA, accompanied by Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger and senior members of the Arsenal club.
The reason why Ye Luo came here is of course because the top three winners of this year's Golden Globe Awards have already been born.
The top three are Messi, Franck Ribery and Yello.
All three were accompanied by their respective clubs.
Came to Zurich.
In Zurich, Ye Luo received unprecedented courtesy.From the moment he got off the plane, the fans cheered, the media paid attention, and the global media attracted attention.
A lot of these superstar treatment fell on Ye Luo.
When entering the awards hall, Blatter, the helm of FIFA, was already standing near the door.
After seeing Ye Luo, Bratt's eyes lit up.
"Oh oh oh, welcome to our Mr. Dragon Ball King." Blatter greeted him with a smile.
Ye Luo smiled and shook hands with Blatter and hugged.
Then, under the leadership of the staff, he went down to his own position.
"Why is he so enthusiastic about me?" Ye Luo asked Ms. Vera beside him a little strangely.
"Isn't that obvious?" Ms. Vera shrugged, "You know the conflict between Blatter and Platini, right?"
"Oh~~~" Ye Luo suddenly realized.
Blatter is certainly not a good guy, but he and Platini are deadly enemies.
Because the relationship between Platini and UEFA and FIFA is not very good-of course, the main issue is the division of interests that has caused deep conflicts between the two parties.
FIFA and the continental football federations are not strictly superior-subordinate relationships, nor are the continental football federations and national football federations.
There are many entanglements of interests between the two parties.
For example, in accordance with FIFA regulations.
The Football Association must be a non-governmental organization.
But we all know what happened to Long Guozu
But do FIFA and AFC dare to suspend Longguo football?
They dare not.
Because they don't want to offend big countries
However, FIFA banned the Kuwaiti national team for two years on the grounds that the Kuwaiti Football Association had a special relationship with Kuwaiti officials.
After all, the cake of the football industry has gradually entered an era of stock competition.
The possibility of continuing to make a bigger cake certainly exists, but it is difficult.
So now everyone is staring at how to divide the cake.
And this one.
Both FIFA and UEFA have eaten the biggest piece of the cake of the football industry.
FIFA has the golden signboard of the World Cup!
You know, the benefits of hosting a World Cup are comparable to those of hosting an Olympic Games.
The direct income of one World Cup exceeds 40 billion US dollars!
The World Cup is FIFA's wallet, and this piece of cake is completely eaten by FIFA.
And what about the rest?
Except for the World Cup, most of the cakes in other parts of the football industry have been cut away by UEFA.
There is no way, who made Europe the center of football, and the major leagues and giants have attracted the attention of fans all over the world.
The best athletes all over the world aim to play for the top European clubs.
Fans all over the world like to watch high-level competitions such as the Champions League, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Serie A.
Originally, the club competitions in South America could be compared with those in Europe.
However, as Brazil, Argentina and other countries encountered economic crises one after another, Argentina even regressed from a developed country to a developing country.
The league organization is chaotic and economically crushed by major European leagues.
In the past, a player like Pele played for a Brazilian giant like Santos, even if he didn't go to Europe to play, it would not affect him becoming the world's attention.
But now, as long as there is a small monster in South America, it will basically become the prey of European clubs.
For example, Neymar, the successor of Pele who just transferred from the Brazilian League to Barcelona this season.
A few decades ago, Santos was also a well-known world-class giant, and Barcelona may not be able to abduct their star from Santos.
but now.
The Santos club only hopes that Neymar can sell for a good price-as for the idea of keeping Neymar, it is unthinkable
Let Neymar lead Santos to the top of South America and make him a team legend?
Stop it.
Are these things worth 6000 million euros?
6000 million euros.
How could the Santos club be able to withstand the temptation of 6000 million euros.
How much is the Copa Libertadores worth?
For the Santos club.
They can just make money with peace of mind now.
After all, the best stars in the world are now in Europe, even if they want to keep Neymar, they can't keep it.
How could a player like Neymar stay in a "small place" like Brazil for a long time.
Able to attract the best players in the world to join.
This is UEFA's confidence in fighting FIFA.
Sometimes, FIFA also needs to act according to the face of UEFA.
No way, who let people have enough chips on hand.
"Blatt greets Ye Luo at the door!"
He Wei, the host of the National TV Sports Channel, said excitedly.
Being able to be personally greeted by the President of FIFA, does this mean that the Golden Globe is settled?
He Wei's words gave enough hints to the fans.
The camera quickly showed the three candidates who came to the scene.
Yello, Messi, Ribery.
The three sat in the front row, not far from each other, but they didn't communicate much with each other.
After all, apart from confronting each other on the court, everyone has no communication in life, and they are not familiar with each other.
The camera rotates between the three, and all three players have smiles on their faces.
In fact, everyone knows that the probability of accidents in the selection results is actually very small.
So there's nothing to worry about.
Soon, the award ceremony began.
After all the other awards were over, it was finally the main event.
But the hostess on the stage said loudly: "The following is the awarding ceremony of the FIFA United Ballon d'Or!"
Everyone couldn't help sitting upright, and the people in the back row couldn't help but look towards the stands.
Blatter himself came to announce the results.
He held the results of the votes in his hand.
There was a smile on his face.
He walked onto the stage, and on the podium, the Golden Globes for the Golden Globes had already been presented.
Blatter looked at the Golden Ball, then down the court.
before the official announcement of the results.
Always talk nonsense.
"To be honest, it is really torture for me to announce this result, because it means that when one excellent player wins the Ballon d'Or, the other two players have to lose. It is a pity. Why can't there be three Ballon d'Ors?"
This cold joke ushered in sparse laughter at the scene.
The effect is not good.
"Why do you think it's the kindergarten giving out little red flowers?"
Ye Luo complained.
Seeing that the joke he told didn't work well, Blatter stopped talking nonsense and said directly: "In 2012, the winner of the FIFA United Ballon d'Or is"
Deng Deng Deng Deng.
Blatter's pauses are matched to just the right amount of music.
Sure enough, it created a little thrilling suspense.
This is a trick that is used at many awards ceremonies.
Even rubbish awards such as the Hundred Flowers Golden Rooster Award are often used in this way, and they are still used after they are worn out, which shows that this trick is still very effective.
really.
Everyone showed anticipation, staring and pricking their ears, creating a tense atmosphere in the awards hall.
In front of the TV, many fans who were watching the live broadcast had clenched their fists, waiting for Blatter to announce the result.
Many impatient fans greeted Blatter's female relatives directly in their hearts.
Under the anticipation that everyone is looking forward to.
Close-ups of the three candidates appeared on the television screen.
Ye Luo smiled.
Ribery grinned.
Messi rubbed his hands nervously.
Blatter didn't keep people waiting long, either.
He coughed.
Said.
"It's Ye Luo!"
