Chapter 509: FIFA Golden Globe Awards

Yang Fan's goal stimulated Manchester United, but also stimulated his good friend Wayne Rooney, the little fat man was not willing to accept defeat, Manchester United was not willing to accept defeat, they scored three goals in a row in the second half of the game, but it was not to set off Yang Fan's stunner at the last moment.

In the almost 10 minutes that followed, Wayne Rooney showed a strong goal, constantly raising his hand for the ball and shooting whenever he had the chance.

It's a pity that although Manchester United's attack looks big, there are not many opportunities to really threaten Manchester City's goal.

'Wayne Rooney wants to score, that's understandable, but he's too impatient, he's a bit too lonely at this point, he's always trying to score on his own!

In the end, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score of the game did not change again!

On the scoreboard at Old Trafford: Manchester United 4:5 Manchester City!

Manchester United are 4-5 at home to Manchester City, who have lost the Manchester derby leg in the 2o1o2o11 English League!

After the game, Yang Fan approached Rooney and asked to exchange jerseys.

This guy did it on purpose, he just wanted to show Rooney that he was the winner of this game.

If it were someone else, Rooney, who was in a bad mood, would have walked away long ago and would have refused the request to exchange jerseys.

However, because it is Yang Fan, Rooney will not refuse, and he cannot refuse.

The two are good friends, and Rooney doesn't want Yang Fan to say that he can't afford to lose.

If you lose this time, it's a big deal to find the field next time, and the loser won't lose!

When exchanging jerseys, Rooney's expression was not very happy, and he was naturally unhappy when he lost.

Yang Fan is secretly happy, beautiful in his heart, last season when Manchester City was a guest at Old Trafford, Yang Fan was injured by Rooney and left the field, and Manchester City also lost the game, now, after a year again, Manchester City finally won, counting the revenge of losing last season, Yang Fan's mood is quite good.

At Old Trafford, Manchester City won 5-4 away at Manchester United, and they led 4-1 at one point, creating the best start of the half against the big clubs, but in the second half, Manchester United fought back, they scored three goals in a row, almost completed an epic comeback, and at the crucial moment, Yang Fan stepped up again, he scored his second goal of the game of the day, helping Manchester City win the game.

After the game, the world's major media reported on the ups and downs of the Manchester derby.

Sky Sports described it as a "perfect ten" and "the magic of Yang Fan propelled Manchester City to a famous victory at Old Trafford in exceptional circumstances".

The Independent headlined: "Yang Fan's magic pulls Blue Moon's escape performance" and said: "After a record half-time 4-1, the home team Manchester United scored three goals in a row in the second half, and after almost being reversed, Manchester City captain Yang Fan stepped up to save Manchester City's fighting spirit and keep it alive." ”。

Not just the British media, but the global media are focusing on this spectacular Manchester derby.

The headline on the website of the Spanish newspaper Marca reads: "This is a victory for Yang Fan". And the newspaper's website also quoted former Manchester City captain Richard Dern as saying "This Manchester City team has a hero to lead them forward", with the title "Manchester City's heroes" to report on Manchester City's feat of winning the game in difficult circumstances.

The headline on the website of the Spanish newspaper Ace reads: "Yang Fan leads Manchester City to reject shocking comeback".

The headline of the Roma Sports newspaper is "Yang Fan is a father", indicating that Yang Fan is the father of Manchester City's victory, and said: "In the first half, Manchester City's performance was world-class, and the performance of the blue moon in the second half was like a baby who was beaten and had no strength to fight back. ”。

The headline of the Italian media Milan sports newspaper was divided into three paragraphs, the first paragraph was "Manchester City and Yang Fan are from another planet", the second paragraph was "Manchester United's absolute counterattack: Old Trafford Stadium glory counterattack", and the third paragraph was "Yang Fan's magic performance!".

The headline of Torino Sport uses the pun "estroyang" and puts Yang Fan in the word "expulsion", reflecting Yang Fan's expulsion of Manchester United's crazy comeback.

The headline on the website of the German Kicker magazine is "The Great Night of the Two Manchester Teams and the Heroic Night of Yang Fan", the newspaper believes that the two Manchester teams played a good half of the game, Manchester City in the first half is level, Manchester United in the second half is great, and finally, this game belongs to a hero: Manchester City captain Yang Fan!

The website of the French team newspaper said: "Only Yang Fan can do it!" The newspaper said that in the case of a three-goal lead, it was frantically counterattacked by Manchester United, and in such a dangerous situation, only a star like Yang Fan can stand up!

The headline of Brazil's Globo was 'Hunger', saying Yang Fan had helped Manchester United win a crucial derby as the new giants of England were on their way to the title, with the City captain expressing his extraordinary desire to lead his side to glory......

The Brazilian Reims Sports newspaper simply said that "Yang Fan's great performance, Manchester United is unwilling to accept defeat".

In addition to praising Yang Fan, the BBC also said that the outstanding performance in this period of competition, especially in the game against Real Madrid and the Manchester derby, is the clarion call for Yang Fan to hit the 2O1ofifa Golden Ball Award.

It's no wonder the BBC said that, because just a day before the Manchester derby began, FIFA and French football simultaneously announced on their official websites the 23-man shortlist for the FIFA2O1O Ballon d'Or.

In the 23-man squad for the FIFA2O1O Golden Ball Award, 7 players from the Spanish team that won the World Cup in South Africa were selected, and Barcelona with 6 finalists became the club's "No. 1 household".

South Africa's World Cup triumph and the pursuit of possession made Spanish football the biggest winner of the 2o1o year. The 23-man shortlist includes seven players: Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Alonso, Puyol, Cesc Fabregas, Villa and Casillas. As this is a World Cup year, one of the main criteria for FIFA and French football to assess the 23-man shortlist is the performance of the national teams in South Africa. Germany, who have taken the World Cup by storm and performed well, also have five players selected: Mesut Ozil, Muller, Schweinsteiger, Lahm and Klose, while the runners-up team of the Netherlands are shortlisted Robben and Sneijder. Messi was the only Argentina team to make it to the round of eight, and the worst of all was France, Italy and England, who surprised in the World Cup, and none of the three traditional giants were selected.

From the perspective of the league, 11 people in La Liga are still the league with the largest number of selections, 5 in the Bundesliga, only Drogba, Fabregas, Yang Fan and Gyan 4 people were selected, and Eto'o, Cesar, McCone and Sneijder in Serie A, all 4 are from Inter Milan. Barcelona, who was selected with six players, is the club's largest player. As for why the Spanish national team and Barcelona were the big winners of the 23-man list, Beckenbauer, president of the FIFA Executive Committee and the main person in charge of the list, said: "The Spanish players will be the protagonists of the selection. The secret of the Spanish national team is to learn from Barcelona. The essence of modern football is to possess the ball and suppress opponents, and in this regard, Spain and Pep Guardiola's Barcelona do better than anyone else. ”

Just before that, FIFA and French football officially reached an agreement to merge the two awards of previous years, "FIFA World Footballer of the Year" and "Ballon d'Or", called the FIFA Ballon d'Or, so this year will be born a FIFA Ballon d'Or, and there is no need to argue about which award is more authoritative. In the past, the World Footballer of the Year was voted for by the managers and captains of the national teams, while the "Ballon d'Or" was awarded by the professional sports media. After this year's merger, the selection lineup basically maintained the above tradition: national team coaches, 2o8 captains, and 2o8 professional media reporters from the 2o8 member associations of FIFA, each accounting for 13, a total of 624 people. The first two were collected by FIFA and the press votes were collected by French football.

Since from this year onwards, the traditional Ballon d'Or in French football and the FIFA World Footballer of the Year will be combined into one, so this FIFA Ballon d'Or will become the crowning individual award for the player. The award ceremony for the award will take place in Zurich, Switzerland, on January 1o next year.

And with the announcement of the 23-member roster of the FIFA2O1O Golden Globe Awards, the topic of the Golden Globe Awards has also begun to hype.

Three days later, in the thirteenth round of the English League, Manchester City hosted Birmingham, I don't know if it was because the derby with Manchester United consumed too much energy from Manchester City players, and the two sides finally drew 0-0 in this game with Birmingham.

Manchester media are saddened to say that Manchester City were held to a draw by Birmingham City, which gave Chelsea a chance to fight back.

However, a day later, Chelsea and Sunderland were upset, with Chelsea losing 3-0 at home to Sunderland. Chelsea O:3 at home was humiliated by Sunderland, with Ennuha, Gian and Welbeck contributing to the Black Cats. Chelsea suffered their heaviest home defeat since Roman Abramovich's arrival.

After the match with Birmingham, Yang Fan was interviewed by the media, and a reporter deliberately asked Yang Fan what he thought of the FIFA Golden Ball Award, and asked him who he thought would win the Golden Ball.

This reporter also did it on purpose, he thought that with Yang Fan's unruly personality, it was very likely that he would recommend himself as a matter of course, but what was surprising was that Yang Fan said someone else's name in his mouth.

"Sneijder!" Yang Fan said, "I'll vote for him." ”

Hearing Yang Fan say this, everyone was quite surprised.

"So you support Sneijder to win the Ballon d'Or?" a Dutch reporter immediately asked happily.

"I mean I'll vote for him. Yang Fan said.

Only then did everyone remember that Yang Fan was the captain of the Chinese national team, and he had the right to vote, although Yang Fan did not respond positively, but it still made the Dutch media very happy, although Yang Fan only said that he would vote for Sneijder as the captain of the Chinese national team, but this also illustrates Yang Fan's attitude from a certain side: he admires Sneijder and cheers for Sneijder.

Yang Fan's unruly personality is well known, and as the most famous active star on the planet, the reckless personality of the star has praised Sneijder, which also makes the Dutchman feel proud.

"Who else would you vote for besides Sneijder?" a reporter asked.

In the past, the judges could fill in the names of 5 people in the order of precedence on the ballot papers, and they were ranked according to 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points. After the merger, the FIFA Golden Ball Awards will only be selected by 3 judges, ranked by 5, 3 and 1 points, which is the same as the previous FIFA World Footballer of the Year selection. Therefore, Yang Fan can write the names of three people on the ballot paper, and get five points, three points, and one point respectively in the order before and after.

"Harvey. Yang Fan thought for a while and said.

This name surprised everyone, especially the Catalan media reporter who looked at Yang Fan in surprise, because Yang Fan and Barcelona have a bad relationship, which is almost a well-known thing. Unexpectedly, Yang Fan would choose to vote for Harvey.

However, if you think about it carefully, everyone is relieved, when talking about the Golden Ball Award, Xavi is one that many people are optimistic about, Cruyff said that the Spanish midfielder deserves the Golden Ball the most, and the British World Football Magazine also selected Xavi as the first player of the year in 2O1O, for good reason, in addition to his excellent personal performance, more importantly, Xavi is the World Cup champion.

Since FIFA began to select World Footballer of the Year in 1991, there has been a rule that has never been broken before: in every World Cup year, the winner of the individual award must come from the World Cup winning team. Romario in 1994, Zidane in 1998, and Ronaldo in 2oo2 are all like this, and the most typical example is 2oo6, when Cannavaro was "hard pulled" from the overall excellent Italian team.

Therefore, it is not strange for Yang Fan to say that he voted for Yang Fan, but it can also be seen that Yang Fan is a very open-minded person, and his choice was not affected by personal grudges with Barcelona. In this regard, even the Catalan media, which has always been at odds with Yang Fan, had to applaud Yang Fan.
