Chapter 878: Doubts are in full swing

The annual Ballon d'Or awards attract the attention of fans all over the world.

Every fan has their own selection criteria, and it is impossible for any star to win the Ballon d'Or convincingly.

Gao Xiaodong won the Golden Globe Award, and the Chinese people undoubtedly raised their hands in favor, thinking that this is well deserved, and it is none other than Gao.

But the Spaniards think that Gao Xiaodong is not worthy of the Golden Ball Award, Gao Xiaodong is tired of winning the award, the World Cup championship is the highest achievement of a player, and the World Cup champion can't get the Golden Ball, what is the meaning of this Golden Ball.

Xavi, the twin core of Barcelona and Spain, was a little angry after the award was a competitor for the Ballon d'Or, and this was the 31-year-old midfielder's last chance to win the award.

Harvey admits that Gao Xiaodong is very good, but he thinks he deserves the Golden Globe Award, and the reason why Gao Xiaodong can have the last laugh is mainly because the current public opinion propaganda is too powerful, and many voters don't watch football at all, but only vote based on popularity and fame.

"The way the selection is made is unfair, based on the fact that Senegal and Fiji have the same weight to vote in France, England and Germany, and obviously not everyone has the same information," Harvey said. Of course, this can only be relative. I watched a report on a high-level player who didn't win the Ballon d'Or that day, and it turned out that Baresi had never won the Ballon d'Or! I was disappointed because I think the fans around the world haven't recognized my style of football, they think that the player who scores more goals is the best player. ”

Another of Gao's rivals, Andres Iniesta, also said that it was unfair to select only one player for the Ballon d'Or, and that it would be more reasonable to choose one player for each position. "In a collective sport, individual awards are always unfair, and an award must be given to each position," he said. The Ballon d'Or is always awarded to those who score goals, those strikers, and in fact football is not only about scoring goals, but also about the link before the goal. The role of a player like Xavi is not well appreciated for his efforts. ”

Andres Iniesta and Xavi's team-mate, Casillas, who won the 2010 Goalkeeper of the Year, was quite vocal about Gao Xiaodong's award, and even a little disdain in his words, "This result is very disappointing for all Spaniards, there is no doubt about it." I thought that after we won the World Cup, Xavi or Andres Iniesta would win the Golden Ball, and it didn't matter who won between them because they both did a great job and it was there for all to see. But the end result was Gao Xiaodong, and I was surprised. In my opinion, it would be illogical for Sneijder not to finish in the top three, having won the treble at Inter and leading the Netherlands to the final at the World Cup in South Africa. But none of this is up to me. ”

After Gao Xiaodong won the award, the website of the newspaper Marca carried the headline "Gao Xiaodong made Spain lose the Ballon d'Or".

The largest daily newspaper, El País, said: "Gao Xiaodong's award makes people fall through the glasses, and Iniesta and Xavi deserve to win the award." ”

Spaniards are not the only ones who think Gao Xiaodong is not worthy of the Golden Globe. Messi also stood up for his club team-mates, saying: "I think the World Cup is the supreme honour, and it's incredible that Xavi and Iniesta won the World Cup and couldn't win the Ballon d'Or. ”

And although Ronaldo does not like Gao Xiaodong to win the award, he cannot support his club rivals Xavi and Iniesta, and he has the ingenuity to say that his teammate Casillas also has the ability to win the Ballon d'Or.

'Casillas also plays on the pitch and he is just as important as the players in other positions. Spain lifted the World Championship trophy and Casillas took the credit for making a number of crucial saves, notably from Paraguay's penalty and Arjen Robben in the final. I really don't know how FIFA selects the best players. But if a goalkeeper wins the prize, I'll be happy. ”

With the exception of Italy and England, the European media are all questioning Gao Xiaodong's award.

The reporter of "French Football", "The selection of the Ballon d'Or has been full of political and commercial flavors, Gao Xiaodong is younger, more popular, and from China, his election will help FIFA develop the Asian market, of course, it is more suitable than Xavi and Iniesta to be elected, in fact, it is Xavi who should really be elected." ”

Germany's "Bild" believes that Gao Xiaodong's winning of the Golden Ball Award is the advent of the era of fame and victory, and it is difficult for players like Xavi and Iniesta to be favored by the Golden Ball Award anymore, even if Beckenbauer is reborn, it is estimated that the top three of the Golden Ball Award may not be able to enter.

The Dutch media complained for Sneijder, they thought that if according to the old rules, the World Cup champion members won the Golden Ball, Sneijder had nothing to say, but since Gao Xiaodong could win the award, why couldn't Sneijder even get into the top three. It's clearly unfair, there's clearly an inside story to it.

The Portuguese media believes that the winner of the natural competition in the big year won the Golden Ball, and in the non-big year, the winner of the Champions League won the Golden Ball.

Because Gao Xiaodong won the award because he led Inter Milan to win the Triple Crown, the Italian media was relatively fair, believing that Gao Xiaodong's personal performance was more prominent, and he won the league scorer and Champions League scorer as a midfielder, as well as the honor of the Triple Crown, which is fully worthy of the Golden Ball Award, but Xavi and Iniesta are also worthy of the Golden Ball Award, and Gao Xiaodong's final award can only show that the fans' preferences are different, and Xavi and Iniesta are not lucky enough.

The Times believes that Gao Xiaodong's award may be controversial, but Xavi and Iniesta's award will also be controversial, so it can only be said that the fans chose Gao Xiaodong.

Europeans and Americans all support Xavi and Iniesta and question Gao Xiaodong, while some Asian countries support Gao Xiaodong, while some support Xavi and Iniesta, and only Chinese fans and media fully support Gao Xiaodong's award.

"Football Newspaper" said that Gao Xiaodong's goals and assists are the first in Europe, Xavi and Iniesta together are not as much as Gao Xiaodong, in terms of honor, Gao Xiaodong is the Champions League and Cup Treble, is the first Triple Crown in Serie A, not much worse than the World Cup, and the personal performance is complete, Gao Xiaodong won the Golden Ball Award is undoubted.

"Weekly" said that Gao Xiaodong won the "FIFA Golden Ball Award" is the pride of the country, this is one of the greatest moments in Chinese sports, as for the outside world's doubts about Gao Xiaodong are ignorance and prejudice, because 2010 is from January 1 to December 31, this year does not just refer to the day of the World Cup final on July 11, so you can understand why Gao Xiaodong won the award.

On the Internet, the fans of Gao Xiaodong and the fans who support Gao Xiaodong also had a fierce keyboard battle, Gao Xiaodong's fans think that Gao Xiaodong's award is real, there is no moisture at all, and the doubts of European fans and the media are jealousy and prejudice.

Black Gao Xiaodong's fans think that Gao Xiaodong is not worthy of the Golden Ball Award, and his award is a FIFA conspiracy and a product of commercialization.

Gao Xiaodong did not respond to the overwhelming doubts from the outside world, which is also a smart move, because it is impossible for Gao Xiaodong to convince the people and the media who question him, and his best response is to keep scoring goals and winning, only in this way will the voice of questioning him slowly dissipate.
