Chapter 151: Indisputable! Deserved!
In the early 90s of the last century, FIFA announced that it would establish the World Footballer of the Year award, and was ready to hold a ceremonial American-style awards ceremony, which originated from the idea of the then FIFA Secretary-General Blatter, who wanted to make the World Footballer Award Ceremony a football Oscar ceremony, because of this, in 1991, FIFA put the first World Footballer of the Year award ceremony in the United States, and the winner of that year, German captain Matthaus also won the European Ballon d'Or in the previous year (1990).
The European Ballon d'Or has always been a modest process: France Télévisions did only one show, Papin (winner of the 1991 Ballon d'Or) took a few photos in the editorial office of France Football and held a dinner at the Lido nightclub on the Champs-Élysées. The extravagant pomp and circumstance of FIFA dwarfed the Ballon d'Or, and at the first World Footballer of the Year ceremony in New York, FIFA invited Pele and some former Ballon d'Or winners to cheer up the ceremony.
Since then, the ambition shown by World Footballer of the Year, as well as FIFA's wealth and wealth, has been a real concern within the Squad group, who fear that they will not be able to withstand FIFA's aggressive offensive.
Eventually, starting in 2010, the Ballon d'Or for France Football and FIFA's World Footballer of the Year merged, and a new top individual honor was born, which was the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
Although fans are still accustomed to calling this FIFA award as World Footballer of the Year, in fact, the official title is now FIFA Golden Ball Award, which is a combined award of the European Golden Ball Award and World Footballer of the Year.
……
On the evening of January 13, 2015, the annual FIFA Awards ceremony came to an end at the Zurich Opera.
From the moment Jiang Chenxi ascended to the highest hall of personal honor in world football, the global media exploded.
Jiang Chenxi won the FIFA Golden Ball Award, which caused a crazy pursuit of major media and fans, and also attracted a lot of controversy.
England cheered.
In 2009, after Cristiano Ronaldo moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid, the Premier League has never produced the World Footballer of the Year.
Or to put it more intuitively, at that time, world football had entered the Mero era, and Ronaldo and Messi took turns to sit in the bank.
And La Liga, which has Ronaldo and Messi, is also in the limelight for a while.
Now, the first person to break Melo's hegemony has appeared, and it is Jiang Chenxi from the Premier League, which makes the English side cheer.
"The Times" wrote an article for Jiang Chenxi to congratulate and praise for the first time, the newspaper believes that Jiang Chenxi deserves to win the award, "The Times" praised the incredible performance of Chinese stars throughout 2014, the Bundesliga Golden Boot, the Champions League Golden Boot, the best player in the Champions League, the highest transfer value in the history of the Premier League came to Liverpool, and is now far ahead of the Premier League scorer list, leading Liverpool to soar on four fronts, and the World Footballer is the best praise for Jiang Chenxi's performance last year.
"BBC" called Jiang Chenxi's award a great miracle, the Chinese star has now become the idol of countless fans around the world, and at the same time, Jiang Chenxi became the world footballer, which is also an affirmation of the Premier League.
The Guardian believes that the results of this year's World Footballer of the Year seem to be controversial, but, from a competitive point of view, it is the least controversial in recent years, look at Jiang Chenxi's performance on the field, look at his statistics, look at the honors he has won, it is unfair that he does not win the World Footballer.
……
Not only the Premier League side was cheering, but the German side was also applauding and cheering for Jiang Chenxi's award.
In the eyes of the German media, Jiang Chenxi has become the world footballer, and behind this honor, Jiang Chenxi's achievement of leading the Hornets to the top of Europe during his time at Dortmund is the biggest award-winning capital.
Bild: The German team won the Hercules Cup, Dortmund stood at the top of Europe, Jiang Chenxi won the FIFA Golden Ball Award, and the world football in 2014 has a strong German label.
"Kicker": The great player won the FIFA Golden Ball, which is an indisputable honor, and the past 2014 belonged to Jiang Chenxi.
……
The voices of praise and cheers were loud, and there were many voices of doubt.
The Portuguese media and the Spanish media, especially the Madrid media, complained about Ronaldo, because in the end Ronaldo was only eleven points less than Jiang Chenxi, and the gap was very small, which made the Madrid media more determined that this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or was unfair.
"As" revealed that after the awards ceremony, Ronaldo did not attend the dinner arranged by FIFA, and returned to Madrid directly by private jet, and turned off his personal mobile phone, and no one could contact him.
The Argentine media and the Catalan media are crying out for Messi, and "World Sports" said that Messi is the one who deserves the trophy the most.
"Daily Sports" slammed that Messi did not win the award, which is a shame in world football, and the newspaper believes that FIFA President Blatter is in order to curry favor with Asian football and the Chinese market, so Jiang Chenxi was able to beat Messi to win the award.
In such an environment, the French press spoke fairly.
"Le Figaro" said that Ronaldo's supporters and Messi's supporters have their reasons, but there is no doubt about one thing, that is, in 2014, Jiang Chenxi was better than Ronaldo and Messi in terms of personal data and team honors.
As an important selection media of the FIFA Golden Ball Awards, "French Football" has the most convincing opinion, "French Football" said: Maybe Ronaldo will be in a bad mood, maybe Messi will feel regretful, but Jiang's election seems incredible, but it is actually predictable, because in the past year, no one has done better than him. Jiang won the award, there is no controversy, this is a well-deserved honor, 2014 belongs to Jiang Chenxi......
……
Chinese fans and media ignored the praise and doubts of foreign media.
For Chinese fans, when Jiang Chenxi stood on the FIFA podium and lifted the FIFA Golden Ball Award, their cheers and excitement did not need to be suppressed, this was a moment of revelry.
The winner is king, and the loser is the loser!
It's as simple as that.
After the news of Jiang Chenxi's award was announced, firecrackers rang out on the streets and alleys of the country at that time, and some excited fans even set off firecrackers in defiance of the ban on fireworks...... They were so excited that they said they were happy to be fined.
……
On January 13, 2015, CCTV set "New Wen Simulcast":
At the FIFA annual awards ceremony held at the Zurich Opera House in Switzerland at two o'clock in the morning Beijing time, China's famous football player Jiang Chenxi was successfully elected to the 2014 FIFA Golden Ball Award...... Jiang Chenxi also became Liberian star George. After Weah, he became the second non-European and American World Footballer of the Year, and the first Asian footballer to be elected World Footballer of the Year...... Here's a report from the front.
In the picture, Jiang Chenxi was interviewed at the Zurich Opera House, and he greeted the people of the whole country:
Good evening everyone, I'm Jiang Chenxi, World Footballer Jiang Chenxi.
Because of its seriousness and political significance, many young people rarely pay attention to it, but on this day, the ratings of "News Network" set a new record, and many young people waited in front of the TV in order to hear the news that Jiang Chenxi was elected as the World Footballer by the most authoritative media in China.
Just when the domestic media was cheering and excited about Jiang Chenxi's award, Jiang Chenxi had already dealt with things in Europe and was ready to return to Australia to continue preparing for the Asian Cup.
