Chapter 141 Discrimination on the basis of colour and nationality

The FIFA Ballon d'Or is the biggest annual award in world football, so it doesn't go away with the end of the ceremony.

On the contrary, as time went on, the controversy over Messi's 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or and Cheng Hai's defeat grew over time, culminating in the IFFHS' announcement that Cheng Hai was officially the world's top scorer in 2011.

The most agitated Dortmund fans and Chinese fans protested everywhere online:

"It's a big joke in the world, the annual total goal record is 152 goals, the world's top scorer of the year, five championships in hand, and so many Golden Boot records have been broken, Cheng Hai can't even win the Golden Ball Award, FIFA is simply a joke."

"From 2010 to 2011, both FIFA and Messi were jokes!"

"To be honest, this is not Messi's business, the main reason is that there is a problem with FIFA's scoring mechanism."

"Yes! I don't know what those who don't choose Cheng Hai think in their hearts, Cheng Hai's performance is not as good as Messi's, do they have long eyes? ”

"All of them are simply blind!"

"The merger of the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year is the biggest mistake!"

"Definitely! No matter what, Cheng Hai is the best in the world in 2011 in my heart! ”

"Not bad! Although Messi is innocent, he really doesn't deserve the Ballon d'Or! ”

Amid the world's indignation over Cheng Hai's failure to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or, France Football published an even more uproarous commentator's article after a few days of covert visits:

"After our secret visits to some media people, national team managers, and national team captains who voted for Messi in the first round of the Ballon d'Or, we have obtained some surprising answers on the premise of not naming them."

"In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that in terms of personal performance throughout 2011, let alone Messi, even if it is put in the history of the entire world football for more than 100 years, no one can compare with Cheng Hai."

"Asian Cup, Bundesliga, League Cup, German Super Cup, European Super Cup five championship trophies, Bundesliga Golden Boot, European Golden Boot, League Cup Golden Boot, Asian Cup Golden Boot, World Top Scorer, Annual Total Goal Record 152 goals, etc., Cheng Hai's personal performance is a crushing victory in the entire history of world football."

"Therefore, the failure of Cheng Hai for the FIFA Golden Ball Award has caused such a big controversy around the world and made countless supporters of Cheng Hai indignant!"

"However, after our interview and investigation of dozens of voters, it turned out that they voted for Messi, not really thinking that Messi's performance in winning the Champions League and the Champions League Golden Boot surpassed Cheng Hai, but the discrimination brought about by Cheng Hai's identity."

"To put it simply, because of Cheng Hai's skin color and nationality, some voters violated the original intention of a fair and just vote, and voted for Messi in the first place without principle, but did not vote for Cheng Hai, who performed better."

Originally, everyone thought that Messi won the Golden Ball Award only because he performed better than Cheng Hai in the eyes of some people, but unexpectedly, the revelations after the secret visit of "French Football" showed that it was not the same thing at all.

Those who voted for Messi are not because they really can't see Cheng Hai's performance better, but just because they don't want the yellow-skinned Cheng Hai to win the award, and they don't want Cheng Hai from the red country to win.

This involves serious racial discrimination and ideological disputes, and Cheng Hai was doubly discriminated against, so he didn't even win the Golden Globe Award when he performed so well.

At the same time, "French Football" also said that those who voted for Messi did not expect that the final result would be Messi's award, and they thought that the one or two votes they voted for Messi did not matter at all.

Unexpectedly, there are so many people with the same thoughts.

On the one hand, this proves the prevalence of racism and discrimination in Western European and American societies, and on the other hand, it also proves how lonely and hostile the institutional path taken by China is in the world, and some people have even used it in football.

It is said that football knows no borders, as long as the ball is played well, people all over the world like it.

In the past, there were many black players who won the Ballon d'Or, and it didn't cause so much disgust.

Unexpectedly, when it was Cheng Hai's turn to compete for the Golden Globe Award, it attracted so many opponents. It can be seen that in Western society, yellow people are more seriously discriminated against than black people.

As for the ideological struggle, not to mention, since the fall of the Soviet Union, the Red China has been the object of hostility and resistance of the entire Western society.

Cheng Hai can be regarded as suffering from the fish pond.

The France Football report finally explains why so many people chose to vote for Messi, because there were a lot of unfair votes.

However, when some Chinese media went to "France Football" angrily and asked them to provide a list of racist voters, they were sternly rejected by "France Football".

Because they only relied on ensuring anonymity to interview these true information, otherwise how could they gain the trust of the other party to tell these racist information?

If "French Football" doesn't talk and loses credibility, how can it cooperate with celebrities and coaches in the future and interview their true remarks, who will dare to tell them the truth?

As a result, the idea of trying to get a racist list from France Football was shattered, and the idea was instead for FIFA to launch a fairness survey on voting for the Ballon d'Or, so that FIFA could cancel the previous Ballon d'Or and re-vote.

But how is this possible? How could FIFA ask for trouble?

Anyway, no one has any evidence, "French football" did not reveal anyone's name, everyone can only guess, so FIFA only vaguely stated:

"With Messi's performance in leading Barcelona to the Champions League, La Liga, Spanish Super Cup, World Club Cup quadruple and the Champions League Golden Boot, he has no problem winning the Ballon d'Or."

As for Cheng Hai, he is 0.5% behind the vote, which can only be said that he lacks some luck, or fame. We believe that if Cheng Hai can still show the performance of 2011 in 2012, the 2012 FIFA Golden Ball Award must be Cheng Hai's, and there will be absolutely no accidents. ”

FIFA's statement, of course, did not satisfy the Chinese media and fans, nor did it satisfy the majority of the world's media and fans.

But they want to pretend to be ostriches, but they are also helpless.

Even Cheng Hai knew that even if he knew that his defeat was full of injustice and discrimination, he was helpless, because it was impossible for FIFA to cancel such an important award and re-select it.

Under such circumstances, Cheng Hai, who returned to the club after the winter break to prepare for pre-season training in the second half of the season, was welcomed and supported by tens of thousands of Dortmund fans.

In normal times, even in the first lesson of pre-season training, it is great to have hundreds or thousands of people supporting the team and players at the training base.

As a result, there are now tens of thousands of fans gathered outside the training base. Among them, there are not only countless overseas Chinese fans, but also countless Dortmund fans and Cheng Hai fans.

These are the fans who were really conquered by Cheng Hai's skills and performance, and they didn't care what color or ideology they had!

Anyway, they are fans, and their favorite thing is football, and they really like and admire Cheng Hai, the most powerful football superstar in the world today.

These fans are very angry and unhappy that Cheng Hai missed the Golden Ball Award because of his skin color and nationality, and they want to express their support for Cheng Hai in this way.

When Cheng Hai's car appeared at the gate of the base, countless fans waved the five-star red flag and waved banners in support of Cheng Hai, shouting to Cheng Hai in the car:

"Cheng Hai, come on!"

"Cheng Hai, we will always support you!"

"Lead us to win the Champions League and the treble this year, and see who dares not to vote for you for the Ballon d'Or!"

When the car slowly drove to the gate along the passage let out by everyone, Cheng Hai suddenly said to the driver Han Zhijun: "Stop, I'll go down!" ”

Han Zhijun looked at the surging crowd outside, frowned, and said, "There are too many people outside, and it's dangerous." ”

Cheng Hai said stubbornly: "It's okay, these are all people who support me." If I don't show my face, it's not appropriate. Don't worry, I have a lot of physique, and I'll be fine. ”

There was no way, Han Zhijun could only stop the car in front of the gate, and then get out of the car first, rushed to the back door, stopped reporters and fans, and then opened the door for Cheng Hai and let Cheng Hai get out of the car.

Seeing that the car stopped, the driver opened the door for Cheng Hai, and Cheng Hai was about to come down, the crowd suddenly became a little excited, and there was a tendency to squeeze in the direction of the car.

Cheng Hai hurriedly got out of the car, ignored the reporter who wanted to interview him, climbed onto the roof of the car, bowed and made a pause gesture to tell everyone not to crowd forward.

They are all hardcore supporters of Cheng Hai, and everyone still listens to Cheng Hai's greetings, and it is really not too crowded.

Cheng Hai then thanked fans for their support, saying that he would compete for the 2012 Golden Globe Award with an even more indisputable performance this year.

Football knows no borders, and even those who are deeply entrenched racists have the confidence to change their perceptions.

Cheng Hai's speech naturally won the unanimous applause and support of the fans, everyone knows that the facts can no longer be changed, Cheng Hai can only use a more dazzling performance to win the 2012 Golden Globe Award.

And Cheng Hai's statement proves that Cheng Hai is not discouraged or frustrated, and he still has fighting spirit.

This is the scene that everyone wants to see the most.

Many fans and fans have become more loyal to Cheng Hai.

There were too many people, Cheng Hai didn't dare to stay for too long, he simply said a few words, didn't sign a group photo for anyone, and quickly asked Han Zhijun to drive the car into the training base.

In the locker room and on the training ground, Cheng Hai was also comforted by his coaches and teammates, saying that everyone stood with him and supported him to compete for the 2012 Ballon d'Or.

The training in the second half of 2011/2012 and Cheng Hai's journey in 2012 have officially begun.
