Yang Yang won the first FIFA Golden Ball Award!

With the end of this grand event at the Zurich Opera House in Switzerland, this news also spread all over the world in a very short time, and fans all over the world received this news in an instant, and it caused heated discussions.

Yang Yang is the first person in world football, which is an indisputable fact and recognized by the world, but in this World Cup year, the Chinese team stopped in the round of 16, but Yang Yang won the FIFA Golden Ball Award, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to many people.

According to the convention, the World Footballer of the Year in the World Cup year is from the World Cup champion team, which is the consensus of everyone, and Yang Yang's election this year completely broke the consensus of the past two decades, which will naturally cause heated discussions in the outside world.

Especially after FIFA released the details of the ballots, this kind of discussion has become even more enthusiastic.

According to the votes, Yang Yang's total vote rate is about 22 percent, which is higher than Messi in second place and Iniesta in third place, but the advantage is not very obvious.

According to the selection method of the first FIFA Ballon d'Or, if the three parts of the votes are separated, Yang Yang ranked first in the votes for the head coach and captain of the national team, but he could only get the fourth place in the media votes, behind Sneijder, Iniesta and Xavi.

In other words, according to the selection method of previous years, Yang Yang can only win FIFA's World Footballer of the Year at most, while the European Ballon d'Or Award of French football magazine belongs to Sneijder, who was voted first by the media.

There is also a basic consensus on this situation, because in the past few years, there has been such a disagreement between the selection of the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or, so much so that many people believe that the European Ballon d'Or is more authoritative, and the World Footballer of the Year is more about fame.

However, some media soon gave data to refute it.

Among the votes for the head coach and captain of the national team of the top ten traditional powerhouses in world football, which are generally valued by many media and fans, Yang Yang got a total of 20 votes, of which Yang Yang got eight of the first choices, three second selections and five third selections, according to the five-point, three-point and one-point rules, Yang Yang got a total of 54 points.

Xavi received four first-choice votes, nine second-choice votes and one three-choice vote, and got 48 points, ranking second, six points less than Yang Yang, and Messi, Iniesta and Sneijder were more behind.

Among them, Sneijder only had three first-choice votes, three second-choice votes and two third-choice votes, and received 26 points, which is a huge difference.

According to this data, after FIFA and French football magazine announced the merger, after comprehensively considering the performance of the entire 2010, Yang Yang's outstanding performance was recognized by the national team coaches and captains of the top ten traditional powerhouses, which is the most influential vote in world football.

Therefore, many media believe that although Yang Yang did not show too good results in the World Cup, he was able to lead the Chinese team to a historic breakthrough from the group stage, and scored five goals in four games to tie for the World Cup Golden Boot, Yang Yang's performance should still be affirmed.

"It is not Yang Yang's fault that he was born in a weak football country, and his ability to lead the Chinese team to a historic breakthrough is enough in itself to prove his performance and strength, which should be recognized and affirmed."

There are even many media who believe that the reason why Yang Yang only won the fourth place in the selection of two hundred and eight media is that the selection of many media people still continues the traditional thinking of the past, and believes that the World Cup year only considers the World Cup results, and ignores the performance of the club throughout the year.

……

It was not only the controversy within the media that sparked controversy, but also within the players.

After the award ceremony, Xavi first generously expressed his congratulations to Yang Yang in an interview with the Spanish newspaper El País, but at the same time expressed his complaints.

"There is a clear unfairness in this selection method because it is based on the voting power of managers and captains in countries such as Fiji, which is more than many professional media in Europe, but it is clear that they simply cannot have the information that is as up-to-date as the European media."

Xavi's statement is also one of the criticisms of the FIFA World Footballer of the Year awards, which is that many small countries and regions will only choose players they have heard of, without really thinking about how he has performed in the past year.

In this way of voting, Yang Yang, who is so famous, is naturally more popular than the likes of Harvey and Sneijder.

Xavi later said that the loss of the FIFA Ballon d'Or was a big regret for him.

"But I don't think it's a big loss, and I think Yang Yang deserves the award. I saw a report the other day about high-level players who didn't win the Ballon d'Or, and I found out that Baresi didn't win the Ballon d'Or either, but that didn't stop the world from recognising his greatness. ”

The Barcelona midfielder clearly wants to prove himself in this way.

Iniesta also said in an interview that it is unfair to select only one player for the Ballon d'Or, because everyone will focus on the attacking players in the frontcourt, which is an innate characteristic of football.

'I think it's always unfair to give individual awards in a team sport, and throughout history it's been unfair to give awards to strikers who score goals, rarely to midfielders, defenders or even goalkeepers, and I think the best way to do that is to give an award to every position.

But soon, the Marca newspaper published an article in support of Yang Yang and publicly refuted some of the claims of Xavi and Iniesta.

According to the article, Xavi believes that Yang Yang was pushed to the throne of the first FIFA Golden Ball Award by a group of small countries and widows, but from the selection of the head coaches and captains of the top ten traditional powers, Yang Yang's vote rate is still the first, six points more than Xavi, who is ranked second, which shows the authority of Yang Yang's award.

"In Spain, Yang Yang appeared among the first choice of Bosque and Casillas, and received two valuable first-choice votes from the hands of the head coach and captain of the Spanish national team."

In addition to Spain, which avoids its own players, the first choice of the head coaches and captains of the two major football powers, the Netherlands and Argentina, was also given to Yang Yang, which is enough to prove that Yang Yang deserves the award.

……

Yang Yang didn't know that he was being questioned by competitors, but when he was interviewed by media around the world after the award ceremony, he also publicly said that he was a little scared to win the award this time.

"In fact, before the winners were announced, I thought it was Sneijder and Casillas who deserved the most awards."

"Wesley had the best season of his career, he did an incredible job both professionally and in the World Cup, and I think he deserves more recognition and recognition."

'And Casillas, I think Spain can lift the World Championship trophy, he is one of the most crucial players in the team, he deserves a lot of credit because he made a lot of key saves in the game, such as the penalty against Paraguay, the save of Robben in the final, which was the key to Spain's victory.

Yang Yang also mentioned Xavi and Andres Iniesta, who he believes should also be recognized, as they have set off an epoch-making change in football philosophy in world football in the past few years.

As for his award, Yang Yang said neither humbly nor arrogantly that he was a lucky person.

"I never thought one person could win a game."

'I couldn't have won this award because Sneijder passed the ball behind me and left the support of my team-mates, which is not just an honour for me, I want to be able to share it with everyone.

As for how to do it, Yang Yang said that he hadn't thought about it yet.

A media reporter even joked on the spot that Yang Yang should perhaps consider building a trophy memorial hall to display all the personal honors and trophies he has won since his debut, and introduce the history behind the honors and trophies, so that everyone can remember the names of those heroes behind the scenes.

Yang Yang was greatly moved after hearing this, "This is a good idea. ”

But everyone felt that it was just a joke.

……

Yang Yang returned from Zurich and was warmly greeted by the Madrid fans.

This is Yang Yang's second personal top honour since joining Real Madrid, and he also won the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or last year, but everyone knows that it is more because of his excellent performance at Liverpool.

But this year, Yang Yang won the first FIFA Golden Ball Award again, and successfully won the highest personal honor award for four consecutive years, which can be said to have left his own glorious history in world football.

What's more, the era that belongs to Yang Yang is not over, he is only twenty-four years old, and he is in the year of playing, and all Real Madrid fans have no doubt that Yang Yang will continue to lead this Real Madrid team to ride the waves for a long time in the future.

On the third day of Yang Yang's return from Zurich, the world was debating whether Yang Yang should win the first FIFA Ballon d'Or, and Real Madrid ushered in the second leg of the Spanish Copa del Rey.

Due to the 8-0 home win over Levante in the first leg, Yang Yang scored a double hat trick of goals and assists, and the main stars of the team went to Zurich to cheer for Yang Yang, so in the second leg of the away game against Levante, Real Madrid played with a full bench lineup.

Youngsters including Alvaro Morata and Jesus were all featured in the game, but the lack of performance from the likes of midfielders Gago and Granero led to a 2-0 defeat away to Levante.

Although they lost the second leg, Real Madrid still successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey with 8-2.

At the time of the draw, Barcelona had the best luck and drew Real Betis, who had been relegated to La Liga, while Real Madrid had the worst luck and drew their rivals Atletico Madrid.

For Real Madrid, which has little hope of a league reversal and is aiming for the cup, this is undoubtedly a signing.
