Chapter 428: Unworthy!
"Well, these reasons are very good and powerful, and they really deserve the "Daily Sports" newspaper that claims to be 'toilets are really needed'. When he saw the report, George was also defeated by the reasons listed by the Daily Sport, "No championship is better than goals and assists, and if the data is not good, it is more important than the status and importance of the team you play for...... Being able to do this without changing his face, "Daily Sports" can really be regarded as a superb. ”
I have to say that compared with the self-slapping "World Sports", the IQ of "Daily Sports" is more worrying, and the attacking methods are also extremely clumsy - saying that Tottenham had an easy schedule for the Champions Cup last season? saying that Tottenham was reversed by Chelsea in the league because Ronaldo did not play a leading role? Are you stuffing glass balls in your eyes?!
Looking at Tottenham's schedule in last season's European Champions League, they were placed in the group stage of death with Juventus, Bayern Munich and Ajax, and after finishing top of the group, they beat Real Madrid, PSV Eindhoven, Juventus and AC Milan in the knockout rounds. With the exception of PSV Eindhoven, who are slightly less famous, Tottenham's other opponents in the knockout rounds are all real top giants. Not to mention, in terms of overall strength, PSV Eindhoven last season is by no means worse than any of the top teams!
On the other hand, Barcelona dominated the group draw, they were not only overtaken by AC Milan in the same group, and could only qualify as the second in the group, but also eliminated by Chelsea in the quarterfinals!
Could it be that in the eyes of these editors of "Daily Sports", the strength of the Chelsea family is stronger than that of Juventus and the others combined?!
Therefore, in the eyes of fans with a little brain, "Daily Sports" regards "Tottenham's Champions Cup schedule is easier than Barcelona" as one of the bases for Ronaldo's inferiority to Ronaldo, which can be said to be completely untenable!
If what "World Sports" did can be called a self-stepping landmine, then "Daily Sport" can only make all non-Barcelona fans feel ridiculous!
The British, who have always been arrogant, could not bear to be ridiculed in this way. No, seizing the opportunity of the comprehensive failure of the offensive launched by Barcelona's mouthpieces such as "World Sports" and "Daily Sports" against George and Ronaldo, a number of British media led by "The Times", BBC, and "The Guardian" launched a fierce counterattack without showing weakness!
Although Britain and Spain formed a strong bond in the Anglo-Spanish War hundreds of years ago, the shackles between the two countries' football circles mainly originated from the fact that Rivaldo beat Beckham, who had won the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or six years ago. You must know that at that time, Beckham, as the absolute main force, created the treble with Manchester United, announced the revival of English football to the world, and can be said to be the strongest star in international football at that time. Although Rivaldo won the La Liga championship and the Copa del Rey double in Barcelona that year, and played extremely well in many key games, he failed to lead Barcelona to achieve much success in the European competition. Especially in the second half of '99, Barcelona, which has a number of well-known stars such as Rivaldo, Figo, Kluivert, Cocu, Luis Enrique, etc., went home at the end of the group stage. And one of the teams that kept Barcelona out of the round of 16 was Manchester United, where David Beckham played!
Therefore, when the results of the 99 World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or were released, many fans and media were complaining about Xiaobei, thinking that the judges were unfair when voting, and were blinded by his media exposure and ability to attract money far beyond other stars, thus underestimating or even ignoring Xiaobei's outstanding performance on the field!
In a non-major year, the Treble with the team did not allow the player to win the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, no matter what explanation French football and FIFA make, it is difficult to get the acceptance and recognition of the fans, not to mention the unstoppable arrogance of the Catalan media after Rivaldo's award. In this way, it is natural to imagine what kind of emotions the English will have in the event of Beckham's defeat.
It is precisely because Beckham left infinite regrets in the selection of the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or that year, and the resulting dislike for Spanish football, especially Catalan football. So this time, although Ronaldo is a Portuguese and not an English player, when Owen is no longer in the limelight, Xiaobei is dragged down by Real Madrid's record, and Rooney still needs time to grow, the English media who are eager for revenge are naturally willing to regard Ronaldo as their own and cheer for him!
"The world's first in the world: the self-absorption of the Catalans!"
As a newspaper with great influence in the world, the Times has a single sentence to explain the real reason why the mouthpieces of Barcelona are so eager to promote the rapid rise of the fame of Ronaldo and Brazilians, and they have captured each other's sore feet with great precision!
Similar to Argentina, which was psychologically distorted after its defeat in the Falklands War and sought spiritual comfort by touting Maradona and his successors, Catalonia, which has always regarded itself as an oppressed and contradicted the Spanish government, must launch a flag and confrontation with the center in order to demonstrate the so-called national spirit. In the field of football, Barcelona, the only one in Catalonia who can compete with Real Madrid, has naturally become their best choice and main supporter!
Therefore, Barcelona's strength is largely due to the excellence of Real Madrid. If Real Madrid, who represent the center of Spain, only has the level of Hertha Berlin or Roma, I am afraid that fans will not see such a strong Barcelona.
Catalonia's tireless touts, the fame bonuses of Barcelona and La Liga, and the strong influence of the Spanish language around the world have greatly contributed to the popularity of Barça's players. Ronaldo's ability to go from a rising star to a top star so quickly is largely due to these bonuses!
You must know that as a former maritime hegemon, Spain has a natural advantage in Latin America. This means that when the World Footballer of the Year vote is held, the managers and captains of the national teams in Latin America, who have been affected by the propaganda offensive, will undoubtedly be more inclined to vote for Ronaldinho, who they are more familiar with and subconsciously think is better!
In the end, after some rigorous argumentation, the Times came to a conclusion at the end of the article: in terms of ability, Xiao Luo is indeed the top among the players, but if there is no Barcelona and La Liga bonuses, with his performance in 05, he is not the world No. 1 at all, let alone worthy of the World Footballer!
"As Coach Nelson said, if there is no media publicity, if you don't play in Barcelona, whether it's Adriano, Riquelme or Ronaldo, you are more qualified to be elected as the World Footballer of the Year than Ronaldo!" At the end of the article, the Times made this assertion, "If Ronaldo and several of them are given the same position, I believe that one of these people who is now praised as the world's No. 1 may be one of these people!"
