Chapter 502: The End of Meroe's Era?

The Ballon d'Or is the highest personal glory that a professional footballer on the planet can achieve.

The Ballon d'Or is an annual award given to the best European footballer since 1956 by France Football, a magazine under the French newspaper La Vars, and is also one of the most prestigious and influential football awards in world football.

Before 1994, the Ballon d'Or was limited to players with European nationality, in 1995 it was relaxed to players who played for football clubs belonging to member states of the European Football Association, and in 2007 the scope of selection was expanded to all professional footballers around the world, so the winners of the Ballon d'Or before 2007 are often called European Footballers.

In 2010, the Ballon d'Or was merged with the former FIFA World Footballer of the Year to form the FIFA Ballon d'Or; In 2016, FIFA and France Football announced the end of their cooperation on the "Ballon d'Or", after which the "Ballon d'Or" was re-selected by France Football alone.

The winner of the 2017 Ballon d'Or, Ronaldo won the fifth Ballon d'Or of his career (including the FIFA Ballon d'Or), tying Messi for the most awards.

But this year, Ronaldo is likely to win his sixth Ballon d'Or and make new history.

For nearly 11 years, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi dominated the Ballon d'Or, and now, both have won five times. However, Messi had an absolute advantage in the number of Ballon d'Or awards, and the Argentine had completed four consecutive Ballon d'Or awards. But now, Ronaldo is officially tied to Messi. It can be said that the battle between the two for the first place in the world has become white-hot. In most people's eyes, Messi was the number one at the time, but now, Ronaldo has given a tough response.

In 2008, Cristiano Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or for the first time. Since then, Messi has achieved 4 consecutive Ballon d'Or awards, which has been controversial. Especially in 2010, Inter Milan was the champion of the Champions League, Spain was the champion of the World Cup, Messi's performance was not so good, but the Argentine still won the award, and superstars such as Sneijder and Iniesta did not.

In terms of the number of Ballon d'Or awards, Messi once led 4-1, and at that time, perhaps not many fans thought that Ronaldo could catch up. In 2013 and 2014, Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or for two consecutive years, which was also controversial, in 2013, as Bayern's ace, Ribery won the Bundesliga, German Cup, Champions League and UEFA Super Cup, while Ronaldo did not score the championship, and finally Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or.

In 2015, Messi won the Ballon d'Or for the fifth time in his career, and in the 14/15 season, Barcelona was invincible, and they won the European treble, so Messi deserved the award. At that time, Messi won the Ballon d'Or 5 times, and Ronaldo won 3 times.

In the past two years, the Ballon d'Or has belonged to Ronaldo, and in the 2016 European Cup, Ronaldo helped Portugal win the championship; In 2017, Ronaldo helped Real Madrid win the La Liga title and the Champions League, so it is well deserved that Ronaldo has won the Ballon d'Or in the last two years.

For Messi, it is indeed time to wake up, originally, he had a 4-1 lead, but was chased to 5-5. In addition, many fans believe that Messi is the number one in the world, or even the number one in history, but Ronaldo is now giving a riposte. In 2018, the competition between the two sides will be equally fierce, but in the end, it was Ronaldo who had the last laugh.

Cristiano Ronaldo led Portugal to a World Cup runner-up and Real Madrid's Champions League triumph, and he continues to be the top scorer in the Champions League.

Such a Cristiano Ronaldo, even at the age of 34, is still the most popular candidate for the Ballon d'Or. So Messi simply didn't come, and he could only play soy sauce for three consecutive years, not to mention, this time they didn't even have the opportunity to go on the stage.

Messi should be replaced by Neymar, two former Barcelona comrades who have now become rivals in the rival camp. After Neymar led the Brazilian team to win the championship, he almost threatened Ronaldo's position, if it weren't for Ronaldo's World Cup runner-up and Champions League champion, Neymar would almost be the best choice for the Golden Ball, not to mention, he went to Real Madrid, itself to succeed Ronaldo.

Back then, he went to Barcelona to succeed Messi, but Messi is still NO1, and now, he goes to Real Madrid to succeed Ronaldo? It seems that Ronaldo is also still NO1, and I don't know if Neymar's life is good or bad......

At this time, the two of them came to the gate of the Golden Globe Gala in a specially arranged car arranged by the club, which immediately caused the biggest frenzy on the scene, and the paparazzi waited here to witness the arrival of the king and the crown prince of football, and soon they were drowned in the crowd......

Wang Dalong has received a lot less attention, only the Chinese media and the English media are interviewing him, who told him that he is not the NO1 in football now, this time next year, if he can continue to perform like this, all the reporters will revolve around him.

Although Messi did not come, the appearance of Salah, Kane, and Dybala can still make up for the regret that Messi did not come, but everyone wants to see Mero together, and naturally there are many regrets in their hearts.

"2018 is the end of the Mero era, which will be the last time they will win the Ballon d'Or, and Messi is still out of contention early. The future of football belongs to Neymar, Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappe and Wang Dalong. This is an irreversible trend of history. ”

At the awards party, the positions of Ronaldo, Wang Dalong and Neymar were arranged together, and Wang Dalong sat in the middle, which seemed to be deliberately arranged by the organizing committee, so that when Neymar wanted to talk to Ronaldo, he had to poke his head past Wang Dalong before he could talk to Ronaldo, which looked weird and awkward.

Wang Dalong also did not plan to switch places with Neymar.

But the host made a joke about Neymar on the field.

"Neymar, don't you think you should switch places with Wang? If you pay close attention, in order, Ronaldo comes over as king, and then you come, will this be the order of the future Ballon d'Or? ”

Neymar smiled, at first he didn't hear the host's words have a deep meaning, because the host simply reminded Neymar and Wang Dalong to change positions, but he didn't expect that what he really meant was the order of the Golden Globe winners.

So he then laughed a little embarrassed, if it was really like what the host said, then it would be really sad. He'd been waiting for many, many years, until he was old.

He suddenly remembered what NBA superstar Duncan had said - the future is yours.

However, whether it is Messi or Ronaldo, they have never aged yet, these two guys are in their thirties, and they are still holding the Ballon d'Or, but I have been running for three, not a few years, and I am only in my twenties once in my life. Woo, I really want to cry......

So at this time, although Neymar was smiling on his face, his heart was dripping blood.

Wang Dalong is also laughing, he is thinking, with his performance this year, there is no problem with competing with Neymar, but I don't know if Ronaldo and Messi will continue to be perverted, once these two people are perverted, in fact, he himself can't say......

As for the others?

Salah? As long as he stays at Liverpool, it seems that there will never be much hope, and Griezmann, who is about the same age, is still staying at Atletico Madrid, Harry Kane will not go to a real big club, and Mbappe is still very young and not a real threat.

In fact, aren't Wang Dalong's opponents just a few people?

After more than half an hour of other awards, the final finale finally arrived.

The top five candidates for the Golden Globe Awards, except for Messi, who did not come, everyone else arrived, but the host still gave a big push, interviewed all the players separately, and even put Messi's video interview up.

However, Messi did not come to the scene this time to disappoint too many people, Messi said that he wanted to participate in the Copa del Rey and couldn't get away, but many Real Madrid media posted articles to mock him, saying that he had the same reason as when he quit the national team, because he chose to escape rather than accept the fact that he was defeated by Ronaldo for three consecutive years.

Salah put a high hat on Wang Dalong in the interview, "I think this year's Ballon d'Or is Ronaldo's, but I think next year's Ballon d'Or should be the king." "Salah is an honest kid and saying something like that at the awards ceremony would make a lot of people uncomfortable.

Thankfully, he wasn't stupid enough to be a point, he added.

"Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar are his biggest rivals, one of them has the ability to win any title, while the others will probably have nothing."

The host's head turned quickly, and he immediately asked Salah, "You mean to say that the king's ability is equivalent to that of Ronaldo and Neymar combined?" ”

Salah was visibly embarrassed for a moment, then laughed: "I didn't say that, haha, but Manchester City is a team with a strong overall character, and Manchester City is scary. ”

It's scary, Salah should have thought of the game between Liverpool and Manchester City a few days ago, and he hasn't removed the shadow until now, so that when he sees Wang Dalong and Manchester City, he will unconsciously feel a strong pressure......

"Wang, do you think Salah is right?"

"I don't know," Wang Dalong smiled, "but I do want to take that thing on stage in my arms and have sex with me." ”

He said, pointing to the golden Golden Ball trophy.

"Hahahaha, this is too simple, whoever took the Golden Globe Award in a while, I asked him to borrow you to sleep for a few nights."

In fact, there is no suspense at all at this year's Golden Globe Awards......

"The 2017-2018 European Golden Globe winners are,"

"He's created the number of Ballon d'Or wins, and he's,"

"Cristiano Ronaldo!" Ronaldo's name was called out in unison, and the host didn't need to say it himself, everyone on earth knew it.

Ronaldo, who has created a record of six awards, is destined to create new history, when Messi won the Ballon d'Or five times, everyone thought that Messi was the only one on the planet, but he didn't expect that a few years later, Ronaldo actually set a new record.

Will this be Ronaldo's last Ballon d'Or?

No one knows, just like the words of Hao Haidong, a former domestic international, that he has been popular for three years at most, and as a result, Ronaldo has broken records for three years, three years and three years. You never know how far he can push the limits in the face of such a superstar, all we can do is appreciate and bless ......

The sixth, this is almost an insurmountable historical monument, no one has ever done before, as for whether it is one who will come after? Nobody knows......

Maybe there is, maybe hundreds of years later, and still not.

Six, even if you win the Ballon d'Or every year, you have to spend six years, how many six years can a professional player have? You still have to remove the first few years of debut, the last few years of your career, in fact, the best time to give you is only ten years, but the players who can be so peak in ten years have only Messi and Ronaldo done it so far.

Therefore, it is really almost impossible for two more perverts like this.

Maybe Wang Dalong still has this possibility, he is currently thinking about the possibility of 6 in his heart, he is 25 years old this year, he must play at least 32 years old to be able to scavenge 6, and if the waist is broken 6, then he must play at least 33 years old, which is about the same age as Ronaldo now.

It's so difficult, you have to make sure that there are no accidents every year, and Neymar can't pose any threat to themselves......

It's almost impossible, in case one day the system ability disappears, and play with hair.

But what about the system? Why hasn't it been seen for most of the year?

Tonight is destined to be Ronaldo to become the protagonist, Wang Dalong and Neymar can only be supporting roles, and then the official scene announced the number of scoring votes for the Golden Ball Award, Ronaldo held the top spot, he got more than half of the points, Neymar ranked second, but there is not much difference with Wang Dalong in third place, only a few percentage points, the fourth place is Salah, and the fifth place is Messi.

Only the first place winner will receive the Ballon d'Or, and everyone else will be a foil......

"Thank you, thank you," Ronaldo said on the podium.

In the past, there was always an opponent under his stage, and that was Messi, but today Messi was not there, and his eyes slowly swept from the first row of players, revealing a trace of loneliness.

Without Messi, it would be so lost!

Accustomed to the greatest opponent, there is really an inexplicable pain when he is no longer here.

"It was the best time of the two of us and whoever stands on the podium I think will cherish what we have now. I wish time passed a little more slowly, but I'm afraid they can't wait......" Ronaldo smiled, but there seemed to be a little tear in his eyes.

"At the moment, I want to thank Messi, sincerely, sincerely, unreservedly." He lifted the Golden Globe and suddenly burst into tears.

"Man, I miss you so much."

The audience gave the warmest applause.

The Mero era may be coming to an end......

Even Wang Dalong also felt deeply, what kind of happiness it should be to be able to have such excellent two people dancing together in the same era.

And where are their opponents?

He glanced at the room......
