In the summer of 2004, a new wave of human transactions began to emerge on the European continent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAt this time, whether it is a hot star or an obscure junior, it is possible to become the protagonist of this chase game.

In today's utilitarian age, transfers no longer mean betrayal, and the marriage between Maldini and Milan is a product of the last century, and there are many stars who have changed their doors in the transfer market this summer, and there have been several surprising transfer deals. However, it has been a lot of buzz overall, with the biggest transfer focus on AC Milan striker Andriy Shevchenko.

Long before the start of the European Championships, according to All Sports, Chelsea officially made an offer to AC Milan striker Andriy Shevchenko.

The past year has certainly been one for Shevchenko, who led AC Milan to another league title after a five-year hiatus. There is also the Italian Super Cup. By the time of the new season, the Ukrainian had scored 122 goals in Milan, the fifth highest scorer in AC Milan's all-time scorer list. Today, Shevchenko has become a symbol of Milan, and his performance is directly related to the victory or defeat of the Rossoneri.

All Sport claims that Chelsea want to bring the Milan striker to Stamford Bridge for £50 million and pay the striker a sky-high salary.

Subsequently, the news was confirmed by the media in England, with The Guardian revealing that Chelsea had previously submitted an offer of up to $50 million to AC Milan, and after the other party refused, Abou even wrote a blank cheque telling them that they could fill in any number as long as they could sell Shevchenko to them.

However, Rossoneri vice-president Galliani said the club would not let Shevchenko go.

"We can't live without him." "It's not possible for us to sell him, he knows everything here, he's not for sale," he said. When you change clubs you have to start from scratch and selling the core players of the team is a dangerous thing. ”

At the same time as the rumors of Ukrainian striker Shevchenko's transfer were clamoring, at this moment, a candid video suspected of AC Milan coach Ancelotti "Shevchenko is not the unshakable main force of the team" made the situation confusing.

In this candid video, the man suspected of Ancelotti publicly stated that AC Milan currently has several main players whose status is unshakable, but not Shevchenko, and that the Ukrainian striker is not his ironclad starter.

Although in the subsequent statement of Ancelotti, he repeatedly claimed that the man in the candid video was not him, but his statement was drowned out by the media reports, and the trust between Ancelotti and Shevchenko also created an irreparable estrangement.

After being mired in transfer rumours and distrust of his manager, Shevchenko started the first round against Livorno in Serie A but was underwhelmed by his coach at the 35th minute of the second half. In the end, the defending champion AC Milan unexpectedly lost 1:2 in the first round to the weak Livorno.

Perhaps due to the fact that the game started in the afternoon and the weather was hot and he was out of shape, Shevchenko seemed to be slightly lacking in physical strength and spirit. At the start of the second half, Shevchenko ran parallel to his dribbling teammates on a counter-attack, but his team-mates couldn't clear the ball.

However, more media believe that Shevchenko is concerned about the pending transfer negotiations with Chelsea, which made Shevchenko's performance a little mediocre in this game. In the 35th minute of the second half, Shevchenko was about to wait for his teammates to take a corner kick when he was told that he had been substituted, and finally had to drag his heavy steps down.

While rumors of Shevchenko's transfer were stirring up, Chelsea manager Louis van Gaal's statement that "Morientes is fine, but a striker like Shevchenko is also a player that every manager cannot refuse" added fuel to the fire.

This is the first time that Chelsea has officially responded to Shevchenko's transfer rumors, and Van Gaal's statement, which holds a certain amount of Chelsea transfer power, can show that Chelsea is really ready to bring in Shevchenko, and it is a strong will.

Just as Shevchenko's transfer turmoil intensified, the BBC exposed the shady curtain of match-fixing in Italian football, saying that many teams in Italian football were suspected of match-fixing in the past 10 years, including many Serie A giants and even superstars.

According to reports, during this year's Serie A match, a bookmaker called pinnacle_sports suddenly decided to stop betting on a Serie A match between AC Milan and Modena, the reason for which the bet was a match with a clear strength and weakness, but received huge bets after betting opened 13 hours before the game, far more than the game should have been.

One of the doubts is that the bets are one-sided bets on a tie, and the second is that this large amount of bets comes from a very small number of accounts.

pinnacle_sports confirmed that there had never been such a large amount of money available since the start of the Serie A game this season, so they thought the game could have been manipulated 13 hours before the kick-off, and it turned out to be a 1-1 draw between AC Milan and Modena.

Although the Italian police announced Serie A's involvement in the investigation following the media disclosure, no strong evidence has been found so far.

He is deeply involved in transfer rumors, and the team is also suspected of gambling turmoil, which makes AC Milan and Shevchenko's form in the new season plummeted compared to the previous season, as of December, in 13 Serie A rounds and 5 Champions League rounds, Shevchenko has only scored 6 goals, and it seems that the power of Ukraine's nuclear warheads is no longer there.

As a recognition of the player's personal honors and achievements, the most influential and authoritative is undoubtedly the "World Footballer" awarded by FIFA and the "European Ballon d'Or" selected by the "French Football" magazine, the former represents the highest official thinking of football, and the latter has always been known for its fair and rigorous style.

In 20 days, the winner of the 2004 Ballon d'Or will be announced, but this highest individual honor in football is now quite embarrassing, it can be said that it is surrounded by heavy political shadows, is the current Ballon d'Or still credible?

"Naturally...... Not credible. Arthur replied.

It is not surprising that "football is coerced by politics". The world of football is actually about the interests of all parties, and its political implications have become more and more intense, even if the selection rules themselves are no longer purely based on sports factors.

Behind this, how many bribery allegations and how many sponsorships are "well-intentioned"?

The Golden Globe Award is a good tool for political use.

Can you be sure that the sacred Golden Globe Award will not be "tainted by WTO accession"?

Can you guarantee that the selection of the Golden Globe Awards is absolutely fair and impartial?

Is there really an objective way to select the best footballers in the world this year from among Ronaldinho, Ibrahimovic and Andriy Shevchenko? There is no absolute certainty to this answer.

According to the distribution of rules published by the magazine France Football, it is clear that some of the provisions are still ambiguous. For example, "The award is based on the player's performance on the pitch and their overall behaviour on and off the pitch. ”

The performance of "playing" will be more convincing, because everyone can see it. On a Serie A television station, a passionate video was titled "Shevchenko's reasons for deserving it". On the channel, a video of Shevchenko's highlights of various games is also impossible not to pay tribute to the Ukrainian striker: when it comes to scoring goals, he is like a god.

But with so many of Ronaldinho's and Ibrahimovic's numbers of highlights, it's hard to decide who is a better Ballon d'Or winner – and that's why ambiguity in politics is the second most important factor.

The political haze behind the Ballon d'Or still can't be dissipated, although compared to the way the world footballer of the year is selected by the head coaches of national teams in various countries, the participation of sports journalists from European countries can represent the most basic mass base of football to a certain extent, rather than what the will of the upper class can forcibly interfere with, it seems to be fairer, but in fact it has been affected a lot.

The most obvious, for example, when Arthur was fighting for the Ballon d'Or in Ibrahimovic, he felt the interference of AC Milan boss and current Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi with these judges.

Heading into December, when the final sprint has been reached, all eyes are on Ronaldinho, Shevchenko and Ibrahimovic, a game of winners and losers, each of whom has a global reach, and the nomination itself is an acknowledgement. Including the least favored Henry, if he is not elected, he cannot be counted as a loser.

A few days ago, Ronaldinho had already received an award -- the Best American Player Award in La Liga this year from the Efe news agency, and according to the well-informed "Milan Sports Newspaper" and "World Sports Newspaper", two Italian and Spanish media, the World Footballer of the Year, who pays more attention to the results of the national team, will definitely belong to the striker of Barcelona!

Although this news is not without hype, it is a true reflection of Ronaldinho's excellent performance this year. If Ronaldinho is elected, he will be the fourth Brazilian to win the honour in 14 years, and it is very coincidental that all four Brazilian superstars have played for Barcelona.

Thierry Henry's failure to make the final three-man list was somewhat surprising, as the key players who won the league unbeaten title last season were outnumbered, and in fact, since the inception of the FIFA selection, they have been criticized for focusing too much on the player's reputation, and sometimes the results have been overlooked. Thierry Henry was the favourite this year, but with the disappointment at the European Championships and the long slump following Arsenal's unbeaten run at Manchester United, he has become one of the least favoured. In Europe, Henry is a far cry from Ibrahimovic, while neither Ronaldinho nor Shevchenko have qualified for the European Championships, so it is not surprising that Henry was squeezed out by Ibrahimovic.

Last year, Sport accurately predicted that Nedved would win the award, and now they are even more conclusive that Shevchenko will be the new Ballon d'Or winner 99%, and that Ronaldinho will receive his World Footballer of the Year trophy in Zurich six days after the night in Paris.

And judging from the selection of the two awards in the past four years, three of them belong to the two, such as Figo and Zidane in 2000, Owen and Figo in 2001, Nedved and Zidane in 2003, and only Ronaldo won these two awards in 2002.

A historical analysis shows that while the performance of the players throughout the year is taken into account, the performance of the players in the 10 and 11 months has a significant impact on the final result. And Shevchenko "duly" led the Ukrainian team all the way in the World Cup qualifiers.

But only once in history has the European Ballon d'Or been won by an Eastern European player two years in a row, in 1962 at Masopust and the following year at Yassin, and now that Nedved has won last year, will it cast a shadow over Shevchenko's candidacy this year?

Sport Newspaper Milan has another interpretation of this: Masopst and Nedved are both Czech players, while Yashin and Shevchenko are both from the former Soviet Union, as if to say that history has already given the answer.

At noon on December 12, Ernaux, the editor-in-chief of France Football, sank into his sofa chair, looking very tired. It was a blissful exhaustion. He has just finished writing an editorial, and the annual Golden Globe Awards have come to an end. As the planner and host of the awards, Ernaux's remaining task is to host the awards gala on the evening of December 13 on Canal+ TV to unveil the final veil for the new Golden Globe winners.

This year's "France Football" campaign is stronger than in previous years, and in many streets of Paris, you can see posters with a question mark on the Ballon d'Or selection party. But in the editorial office of France Football, no one talks about the Ballon d'Or anymore. If you ask an editor or journalist, "Who is the Golden Globe winner?" He would spread his hands and say, "I don't know."

In fact, most of them don't know, they just use their own experience to predict and judge.

At the end of last week, Ernaux set off with Notariani, the Italian correspondent of France Football, for a routine Ballon d'Or interview, and the destinations were clear: Milan and Blackburn.

This also announced that Ronaldinho will not be eligible for this year's Ballon d'Or, which will be decided between Ibrahimovic and Shevchenko.

Due to the need for plate making, at least 20 people in the editorial board of France Football were aware of it, but they rarely discussed it with each other or sought confirmation.

Like one editor said, why know beforehand, why not save the suspense for the end? (To be continued.) )
