Walking into the editorial office of France Football, the name of the new European Ballon d'Or winner is hardly mentioned for reasons of secrecy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info However, from the itinerary of the editor-in-chief Ernaux and the photographer Prevost can be confirmed who the sir belongs.

A colleague from The Team said: "If the new Ballon d'Or had not been chosen between Ronaldinho and Frank Lampard, the oldest selection would have lost some of its authority. ”

The line-up of candidates for this year's Ballon d'Or is strong. In addition to Ronaldinho and Frank Lampard, Ibrahimovic, Thierry Henry and Andriy Shevchenko are among the loudest voices. Frank Lampard was the main contributor to Blackburn's treble, while Ronaldinho's biggest assets are La Liga and Confederations Cup, while others are clearly not comparable to Lampard and Ronaldinho.

In terms of individual genius and performance, Ronaldinho hardly has any direct opponents.

But judging by the team's record and the madness of the Champions League final, Frank Lampard is more than enough to crush all the contenders.

On 29 November, France Football will announce the results of the 52 jury members at the same time as Football Weekly. Before the official vote of European journalists was announced, some superstars had already voted for their favorite Ballon d'Or.

On the 26th, the football king Pele publicly said at a press conference in Sao Paulo that he would vote for Ronaldinho, "He is the best player in the world today and brings the most joy to the audience." ”

Maradona was fascinated by Frank Lampard's charisma: "Frank Lampard is the best player in the world, that's not a question to discuss, just look at his performance in the Champions League final, he can do anything. ”

Platini, the former Ballon d'Or winner who initially formed a personal relationship with Arthur this summer, also said that only Frank Lampard deserves this year's Ballon d'Or.

These voices have become the best embellishment of the overwhelming superiority of Lampard and Ronaldinho.

The time finally came on November 29, and the 2005 European Golden Globe Awards ceremony officially began.

Ronaldinho vs Frank Lampard?

Football elves vs Predators?

In the end, it was the Predator Frank Lampard, who had more honours in the team, who knocked down the jovial football elf.

In 2005, Frank Lampard won the League Cup, Premier League, Champions League, Community Shield and UEFA Super Cup for Blackburn, with the Club World Cup to be crowned in the coming month, with a five, and possibly even a six, crown making him one of the brightest stars of the year!

Frank Lampard is top of the table with a total of 248 points, with second-placed Ronaldinho on 153 and Ibrahimovic a full 100 points less than his former team-mate to third with 148.

Of the 24 players who scored, a total of 11 were from the Premier League, seven from Serie A and four from La Liga, with only Lyon's Juninho Jr. and Bayern's Ballack from Ligue 1 and Bundesliga respectively.

Frank Lampard's 2005 Ballon d'Or was not a surprise to Arthur, and he didn't even contribute much behind the scenes.

Because in the previous 2005 European Ballon d'Or, although Ronaldinho won the award, with a total of 225 points, he only had 77 points more than Frank Lampard in second place and 83 points more than Gerrard in third place.

Frank Lampard won only one Premier League title that year, and the votes were split from Gerrard, who won the Champions League and also played in the Premier League.

In this life, Gerrard's Champions League title has moved to Frank Lampard, and Blackburn Rovers have become five-time champions, and possibly even an unprecedented six-time champion, and it is natural to beat Ronaldinho.

However, compared to the European Ballon d'Or, which is more important for individual accolades, the World Footballer of the Year award has once again left the Blackburn stars feeling disappointed - after last year's new European Ballon d'Or winner, Ibrahimovic, lost to Ronaldinho in the World Footballer of the Year race, Frank Lampard lost again in the race for this honour this year.

Ronaldinho achieved two consecutive World Footballer of the Year titles, but he returned in a row in the selection of the European Ballon d'Or, on the contrary, the Blackburn players completed an alternative "re-election" of the European Ballon d'Or, I don't know what kind of feelings Ronaldinho will have in his heart when he recalls that he refused Blackburn's invitation twice?

In an interview, Shendeng happily said, "I am very happy to have such a great honor and such a satisfying career, which makes me feel very lucky, and it is a very proud moment for me and my family." ”

After winning the European Ballon d'Or, Frank Lampard then received a valuable 'gift' as he appeared on the Queen's birthday honours list, winning the Order of the British Empire.

The Order of the Best of the British Empire, or the Order of the British Empire, is a knightly medal in the British Honours and Awards system, established by King George V on June 4, 1917. There are five types of medals, civil and military, namely the Grand Cross, the Commander's Medal, the Commander's Medal, the Commander's Medal, the Officer's Medal and the Officer's Order.

In the above five classes, only citizens of the British or Commonwealth Realms who have been awarded the top two classes are considered knighthoods, and their English names can be preceded by the title of "Sizz/Dame".

United boss Alex Ferguson was awarded the Commander of the Order of Merit in 1999, which earned him the title of Knight, Arthur also received the title in his next honour, and David Beckham was awarded the Order of Merit in 2003.

After being decolegated to the OBE, Frank Lampard joined Alex Ferguson and David Beckham as the new representatives of English football.

Too late to present the Ballon d'Or trophy in front of the home fans, Frank Lampard followed the team to Japan for the de facto first Club World Cup.

At 4:15 p.m. on December 18, the 2005 World Club Champions Cup was contested between European champions Blackburn Rovers and South American Libertadores champion São Paulo.

As soon as the game began, the Blackburn players used a very dangerous attack to show people their desire for the title.

In the first minute, Blackburn Rovers were awarded a throw-in and Frank Lampard played a pass to Didier Drogba in the box, but the Spanish striker's header was deflected wide.

But then there was a small incident on the pitch, a fan who rushed into the stadium was subdued by the stadium security in the goal of São Paulo, but the net was broken, the staff entered the stadium to repair it, and the game resumed a few minutes later.

In the 8th minute, the football passed to the periphery, Lampard crossed from the right, Ronaldo outflanked the middle and did not reach it, and the football went directly out of the bottom line. After that, both sides launched several attacks, but none of them were very effective, and the battle for football between the two sides remained largely in the middle of the field.

In the early part of the match, Sao Paulo had a clear advantage in possession time, reaching 65%.

In the 16th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball into the penalty area, but Drogba, who followed up, was a step too slow to catch the football.

In the 20th minute, Sao Paulo's Sicinho fouled Drogba, Blackburn got a free kick in front, and Ronaldo kicked the ball to the opposing defender when he took the penalty.

During this period of time, the offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides was very fast, the scene was relatively smooth, and the game was quite enjoyable.

In the 27th minute, Sao Paulo almost took the lead, Mineiro da Silva received a cross from his teammate in the middle, took the ball into the penalty area, and calmly pushed the shot low in the face of goalkeeper Cech, and was about to jump over the goal line, but was cleared by Sun Jihai, who was driven back.

In the 28th minute, Alonso took a corner kick and Van Persie flicked his head into the box but the ball hit the crossbar and Blackburn missed the best chance of the first half.

In the 32nd minute, Ronaldo hoisted the football into the penalty area, Drogba in the penalty area did not touch the football, the ball reached the feet of Robben, but unfortunately the Dutch Peter Pan's shot missed.

At the end of the first half, Sao Paulo relied on hard work and luck to keep the goal intact.

At the start of the second half, in the 52nd minute, Blackburn took a free kick in front of the goal, and Lampard's shot hung straight into the top left corner of the goal, but goalkeeper Cheney lifted the ball out with a fish leap, a beautiful shot, a beautiful save!

In the 62nd minute, Blackburn took a free kick in front, Robben's football bypassed all the players in the penalty area, and Blackburn's players got the ball and passed into the penalty area, Van Persie's header hit the far corner of the goal, but it was ruled offside.

In the 71st minute, Alonso took a corner and Nemanja Vidic smashed the ball into the net near the walking line, but before he could shoot, the whole of the ball flew off the line and Blackburn's attack was once again fruitless.

In the 75th and 77th minutes, Blackburn Rovers were hit by Frank Lampard and Robin van Persie respectively, but both were met by goalkeeper Dick Cheney.

In the 83rd minute, Blackburn finally scored, substitute Figo picked up a pass at the front of the penalty area, Bentley inserted it in the back row like a volleyball player, and knocked the football directly into the goal with ****.

In the final stages, Sao Paulo pressed as a whole and blasted around Blackburn's goal, but there was no way to shake the wall of the Blue Devils.

In the end, Blackburn Rovers won the match with the most economical 1-0 to win what was essentially the first Club World Cup trophy!

Winner of the League Cup, Premier League, Champions League, Community Shield, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup, Blackburn Rovers won the 2005 Six-Crown, and the Iron Blue Devils became the world's public enemies! (To be continued.) )
