If you were suddenly asked to choose between a Chinese and a Brazilian based on your feelings, and choose the one you think you play better in table tennis, there is no suspense about how you choose, and the same is true for football.

Zhuo Yang lost to Ronaldinho by a narrow margin in the FIFA World Footballer of the Year selection, and after a detailed analysis of the reasons, it is not surprising that it is not surprising.

First of all, the selection of the World Footballer of the Year is the head coach and captain of the national team of all countries in the world, regardless of the size of the country. To be honest, there are more than 200 countries and regions in the world, and many names have never been heard of, and even if they have heard of them for a while, they will not be able to figure out their geographical location. In any case, Tuvalu and Germany have the same two votes.

Truth be told, most of the world's national team managers are pure turtles, they are far from the latest global football information, and these people don't care about current affairs. They don't know as much about football fashion as football fans, nor do they understand the rise and fall of mainstream football; They don't like to watch top-level games like veteran fans, and every once in a while, the highlight of the goal is already a business development exercise.

There are many managers who only care about their own acres of land, far behind the development of football in the times. About 10 years ago, a football journalist chatted with his national team manager and asked him to talk about who the best stars in the world are today. The head coach pondered for a long time, racked his brains to collect from his barren memories, and finally said in his accented seaside dialect: "I want to ask for it, and I will be dodged."

At that time, the first football king Lao Ma had retired for more than two years, and he had been away from his peak for seven or eight years.

You guessed it right, it's the head coach of the Chinese team.

It is conceivable how reliable the results selected by these managers and captains will be, and most of the time the accumulated fame alone can decide everything. Even the head coaches and captains of many countries did not see the ballots at all, and the Football Association personnel filled them out casually. And I've heard that a lot of managers and captains don't take it seriously at all, and every time they tick the top three on the list, regardless of who they are.

A Chinese and a Brazilian compete in football, and the referees are these completely unreliable people, most of whom rely only on feeling most of the time.

Secondly, the selection of the World Footballer of the Year has never been a matter of pure football, which involves the struggle between the two major football sectors in South America and Europe, and is related to the competition of agents behind the players.

Raiola is one of Europe's most prominent football agents, but the most powerful agent in the world today is far from him, but the Uruguayan named Juan Figer.

Known as the 'godfather of football' in Brazil, Figer controls more than 95 per cent of South American players to Europe. This old man of doubtful age, this shrewd man who won the South American chess championship in his youth, is the de facto controller of South American players and players' foreign trade. Even at his peak, Figer controlled the player transfer market in numerous countries on the continent.

No matter how awesome the other agents in South America are, they must be attached to Figer in order to survive, and they must also rely on Figer's various resources and forces. Take Ronaldinho as an example, although his agent is his brother Asis, Assis is essentially a second-level agent under Figer, who is only responsible for Xiao Luo. Including Ronaldo, Maradona, and Messi, etc., etc., all belong to this list.

Juan Figer is actually the talk of the entire South American football scene, and the South American Football Federation has to rely on his breath a lot of times. Even in FIFA, Figer has a considerable say and is the best among football agents.

Many European brokers united for many years to gradually reduce Figer's sphere of influence in Europe to a small place in the Iberian Peninsula. Until a few years ago, the former Figer's horse boy, the Portuguese Mendes, with the encouragement and assistance of his European counterparts, set up another mountain to go it alone and began to dismantle Figer's last European territory from within Portuguese football.

But the South American continent is still Figer's unshakable backyard.

The selection of the World Footballer of the Year has always been a confrontation between Europe and South America, compared to Figel's domination of South America, South American candidates will naturally form a joint force behind them, and it is difficult for European football agents to fight against each other, at least at this stage.

Ronaldo's surprise appearance coincided with the fact that the football world entered a period of high commercialization, and Ronaldo's unparalleled football talent made other players shy away. The mainstream European football world has launched many people to compete with it, but both Figo and Xiaobei have certain hard injuries, and even Zidane is still slightly behind.

Now that Da Luo is not old, Xiao Luo is aggressive again. The European football world is in urgent need of a new force to form a poison with Xiao Luo, so Zhuo Yang's emergence also has this background.

In fact, it is not only a secret war between South America and Europe, nor just a contest between economic people, but also the interests of big-name sponsors behind the selection of World Footballer of the Year, most notably the battle between Nike and Adi, as well as Pepsi and Coca-Cola, and this battle will also spread to the ownership of the World Cup winner.

Modern football has never been simply football, and various interests and exchanges loom in it.

.

"Ronny is a friend of mine and in every sense of the word, he deserves this honour and is a recognition of his outstanding contribution to football." In his acceptance speech, Zhuo Yang said. "I'm very flattered to be the runner-up and thank you very much to FIFA and the judges."

For a person like Zhuo Yang, high-sounding words are generally no more than three sentences.

"My brother Franck Ribery, just bad luck, he's the best winger in world football. Dear Scar, I support you to defeat Ronnie next year, he is not as good-looking as you, come on! ”

Xiao Luo Na is not an ordinary sass. "Football-wise, the three of us are actually evenly matched, and whoever wins this award deserves it. Of course, it is said that this is an era of looking at faces, and my appearance is a little bit ahead of Zhuo Yang and Frank, which may be the key to my victory. ”

Zhuo Yang: "......"

Scar: "......"

Since the day he met Ronaldinho, Zhuo Yang felt that the scar was actually quite attractive.

The year-end awards are all over, who dares to say that Zhuo Yang, who is only 20 years old, failed to win the double award is a failure? The heroic Mr. Golden Ball, the promising Mr. World Ya, even Xiao Luo's heart has already admitted that the foreseeable future belongs to Zhuo Yang.
