As soon as the list of nominees for the FIFA Ballon d'Or was announced, it caused heated discussions in the media.

The German newspaper Bild analyzed the 23-day squad and commented on the key players, especially the three players who are most likely to win the World Footballer of the Year.

First up is Barcelona's Argentine star Lionel Messi.

The individual competition in today's football has become a competition between Ronaldo and Messi. The two threw off the other players a few streets in terms of personal achievements, and only let the other players become background boards. As a four-time FIFA Ballon d'Or winner, judging by Messi's current form, he will definitely have no problem finishing in the top three.

So, can Messi win the FIFA Ballon d'Or for the fifth time? Judging from Messi's performance, it seems to be a bit hanging: Barcelona has failed in the past season, missing out on the league and the Champions League, and even the Spanish Copa del Rey was snatched away by Real Madrid. The club's overall performance was not good, Messi did not have many outstanding performances last season, and he was often injured and vomited, and the limelight in the club was once stolen by Neymar.

Messi's only bright spot this year was at the World Cup, where he scored a total of four goals as Argentina's number one star and was named the best player of the World Cup. It would be understandable if Messi won the Golden Ball Award for his performance in the World Cup, but the champion of this year's World Cup is the German team, and it is Messi's biggest injury to enter the final but not win the championship. If the World Cup winner is Argentina, Messi is right to win the World Cup Footballer of the Year this year.

Therefore, Bild believes that Messi has only a 55% chance of winning the World Footballer of the Year.

……

Then there's Real Madrid's Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the 2013 FIFA Golden Ball Awards, Ronaldo finally got rid of the "three votes of Ronaldo" and successfully won the Golden Ball. As the only star who can match Messi at the moment, Ronaldo is also a regular in the top three of the FIFA Ballon d'Or, and there should be no suspense for him to finish in the top three this year.

Just after FIFA announced the shortlist of candidates for the World Footballer of the Year, La Liga officials also announced the awards of last season's La Liga, and Ronaldo was the big winner, he was the best striker of last season, the most valuable player of the season, and the winner of the best goal of the season. Cristiano Ronaldo was named the best player in UEFA's polls last season and he was also the top scorer in the Champions League with 17 goals. In addition, Real Madrid also won the Spanish Copa del Rey last year. In terms of accolades at the club, Ronaldo is ahead of Messi.

Ronaldo's shortcomings lie in the national team honor - in the World Cup in Brazil, Portugal suffered an exit in the group stage, and Ronaldo scored only one goal in three games. In fact, Ronaldo is also working very hard in the national team, but the staffing of the Portuguese national team is indeed not at the same level as Real Madrid.

Therefore, "Bild" believes that Ronaldo is more likely to win the World Footballer of the Year than Messi, with 70%.

……

Finally, there is Liverpool's Chinese star Jiang Chenxi.

The performance of the Chinese star in Dortmund last season was extremely dazzling, he was the Bundesliga Golden Boot, helping Dortmund to win the Bundesliga runner-up, especially in the Champions League, the Chinese star led Dortmund to stand on the top of Europe, and shared the Champions League Golden Boot with Ronaldo with 17 goals for two consecutive years, and after transferring to Liverpool, Jiang Chenxi's performance was as good as ever, leading the scorer list with 11 goals in the Premier League, leading Liverpool to follow Chelsea's pace in the league, judging from the club's honor and performance, Jiang Chenxi is better than Ronaldo and Messi.

The biggest shortcoming of the Chinese star is the national team honor, the Chinese team was out of the World Cup Asian qualifiers early and missed the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, which made the Chinese star have no chance to perform on the World Cup stage, which will affect the voting choice of some national team coaches and captains.

"Bild" believes that Jiang Chenxi has a higher probability of winning the World Footballer of the Year than Messi, but it is lower than Ronaldo, but it is not too big a gap, and the probability has reached 65%.

The headline of the Milan sports newspaper is: Cristiano Ronaldo? Messi? Jiang Chenxi?

The background image is a Golden Ball picture of the World Footballer of the Year.

Obviously, it is widely accepted in the media that Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Jiang Chenxi will be the most likely top three players to make it to the Ballon d'Or, and the final 2014 World Footballer of the Year will be born between these three stars.

……

The English "Times" bluntly expressed their opinion, they believe that Jiang Chenxi should win the World Footballer of the Year, the reason? The club honor of Chinese stars is well deserved, in addition, they also put forward another novel point of view, fans around the world have been aesthetic fatigue with Ronaldo and Messi taking turns to sit in the bank, no one has been able to shake the hegemony of these two people before, this is because no player has the absolute persuasiveness to challenge them, but, now it is different, Chinese stars on the pitch impeccable performance, aside from the weakness of personal influence, only to competitive performance as a criterion, Chinese stars deserve it.

The Times fired the first shot again, and the rest of the media in England began to follow suit, cheering for Jiang Chenxi, and it is worth mentioning that the German and Italian media also expressed similar views, and it is clear that the Bundesliga and Serie A are also tired of the situation where the stars of La Liga take turns to sit in the house, and they hope that there will be a challenger to challenge success.

……

In the Champions League, they won 4-3 at home to the mighty Real Madrid.

They are just one point away from leaders Chelsea in the league.

Liverpool's morale is high now, and the English media are also talking about Liverpool's revival and the possibility of Jiang Chenxi getting the World Footballer of the Year.

However, Klopp was not happy.

Because in the subsequent 1/8 match of the English League Cup held in midweek, Liverpool defeated Swansea 2-1 to reach the quarterfinals of the League Cup, but suffered a lot of losses.

In this game, Klopp rotated the team, and Jiang Chenxi sat on the bench.

However, at the beginning of the second half, Balotelli left the field with an injury, and Jiang Chenxi had to put on the field and had an assist.

In addition, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard also left the pitch injured in the second half, and the post-match check-up is not optimistic, and the Liverpool captain will be out for at least a month.

On the second day of training, Lucas suffered another muscle strain and needed to be sidelined for two weeks.

The shortcomings of Liverpool's thin squad are exposed in this situation.

……

On November 1, in the 10th round of the English Premier League, Liverpool had to dismiss Joe Allen and Cameron who was promoted by the youth team in the midfield because of Henderson's cumulative yellow card suspension. Branagan was a two-man midfield combination, while on the bench was Jake Brown, who was also promoted from the youth team. Dunn.

In the end, in this game, Liverpool drew 0-0 with Newcastle away from home, and Jiang Chenxi's continuous goal scoring was suspended, of course, the data of eleven goals in ten rounds of the league is enough to be proud of the entire Premier League.

After drawing with Newcastle, Liverpool were once again stretched out by Chelsea in the table, three points behind Jose Mourinho's side, and the difference was once again stretched to a one-game win.

After the game, the bookmaker immediately adjusted the odds for Liverpool to win the title.

The Guardian analyzed this, believing that the biggest problem that blocked Liverpool's pace of winning the championship has emerged, that is, Liverpool's bench depth, especially in the midfield position, the popularity is thin, and in the summer transfer market, Liverpool will smash the recruitment funds on Jiang Chenxi's body, so that Emre Can and Lallana's two transfers that have been placed on the negotiating table have not been completed, and the Liverpool's current embarrassment has buried hidden dangers.

The Daily Mail broke the news that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has made a request to the club to transfer to the midfield in the winter, so that he can continue to catch up with Chelsea in the race for the Premier League title and go further in the Champions League.

Winter transfers are still a long way off.

The day after the match against Newcastle, the Liverpool squad boarded a flight to Madrid for their Champions League group stage match at the Bernabeu.

The eyes of global fans began to focus on Madrid, the second leg of Liverpool vs Real Madrid, and the second leg of Jiang Chenxi's VSC Rowe, the big battle is about to start. <
