As soon as the new season began, the confrontation between Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi was staged.

Many fans believe that if Messi wants to reverse Ronaldo in the Ballon d'Or race, he must perform in the national derby in the new season.

After all, in the first half of 2017, Messi lost to Cristiano Ronaldo, well, if in terms of team honor, Messi still lost the palm.

Cristiano Ronaldo won the league title, the Champions League, and the Champions League Golden Boot, while Messi only won the Copa del Rey and La Liga Golden Boot.

There are Premier League winners, FA Cup winners, Premier League Player of the Season of the Year voted by PAF fans, and Premier League Goal of the Season.

Although I don't know why the Golden Ball Award shortlist has not yet been announced, it is later than the World Footballer, but Zhang Zhetian's performance in the first half of the year can definitely compete with Ronaldo, although one is a spear and the other is a shield.

But Zhangzhetian is a shield with a spear!

Although Ronaldo was sent off with a red card because of the referee's misjudgment and only scored one goal, Real Madrid won 3-1 away from home, seized the opportunity, and is very likely to win the first championship trophy of the new season, but Ronaldo's outstanding performance will not weaken his brilliance because of the red card.

Ronaldo used a battle to tell the world that he is already determined to win the Ballon d'Or, and in the second half of the year, as long as there are no accidents, even if Messi's performance is against the sky, Ronaldo has a good chance to defend the Ballon d'Or. After all, there are no major matches for the national team this year, and the important reference for the Ballon d'Or is the performance of the stars and their clubs.

Historically, Messi has won 5 Ballon d'Or awards, while Ronaldo has 4.

If he defends his title this year, Ronaldo will be on an equal footing with Messi.

However, the sky-high £100 million move to RB Leipzig will be Ronaldo's biggest threat to defending his title, as he is considered by fans to become the second goalkeeper to win the Ballon d'Or after Lev Yassin, and if he can achieve a comeback with a better performance in the second half of the year, even if he is a goalkeeper.

Because he is the goalkeeper who is directly chasing Mero in popularity, the goalkeeper with a 1-to-1 number and quality of fans, is praised as the most attacking goalkeeper in today's football.

"Since 2008, for ten years, whether it is the Ballon d'Or or the World Footballer, it has been monopolized by Messi and Ronaldo, and this decade is the decade that belongs to Melo. But today, I see the end of the era of the two, even if not this year, soon, maybe next year, maybe the year after, he will create his own era. Yes, I think only he can break Melo's monopoly on the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer, he is the German-Chinese goalkeeper who can decide the outcome of the game by himself, and reinterpret the position of goalkeeper. - Gerard Ejnes, editor-in-chief of France Football

Goalkeepers are a very important but often overlooked role on the pitch, and people seem to be used to talking about goalkeeper mistakes, forgetting how much hard work they have to put in to make a save in front of goal.

The goalkeeper wears a different jersey from the other players and is at the front of the pitch every time, but in order to receive praise and recognition, he has to put in more effort and be more careful with every incoming ball, and he has to be careful about injuries.

In a game, if the goalkeeper keeps 0 goals conceded, it is often brushed off and more attention will be paid to the attacking strikers.

But the goalkeeper is an important part of the 11 people, and it is by no means a chicken rib, and the establishment of the FIFA Best Goalkeeper Award is undoubtedly an affirmation of the importance of the goalkeeper.

Zhang Zhetian's performance in the Premier League has made people see that in addition to Diego Maradona, the 19-year-old talented goalkeeper has managed to pull the team to the championship trophy with one hand.

Ergines' words caused an uproar in world football, some questioned, some criticized, some ridiculed, some supported, and many people believed that the organizer of the Ballon d'Or was so touted because the newest sponsor of "French football" was the Red Bull Group.

Since "French Football" terminated its cooperation with FIFA and re-selected the Ballon d'Or, some media revealed that "French Football" may encounter a serious economic crisis, and the breakup of FIFA hit them hard, and in the case of a significant decline in sales and influence, "French Football" cannot even afford the high cost of organizing the selection.

You know, since 2010, this money has been paid by FIFA, and after the two sides broke up, France Football has been looking for sponsors.

Despite the withdrawal of the Ballon d'Or, France Football still faces an awkward situation, and if the selection is expanded to include global players, then France Football will go from a partnership with FIFA to a competitive relationship.

Even if the new Ballon d'Or is narrowed down to players who play in Europe, they will face a clash with UEFA's best player in Europe.

Not long ago, under the attack of FIFA and UEFA, "French Football" unexpectedly won the sponsorship of the Red Bull Group, with the support of the financial owner, "French Football" has gradually gained confidence, the history and heritage of the Golden Ball Award, especially the authority, is not the best European player in UEFA, which has only been established for 6 years.

Although Egernes' comments were suspicious of currying favor with his sponsors, the performance of Che Tian in the first round of the Bundesliga at RB Leipzig on Saturday night temporarily silenced the opposition.

The new season's Bundesliga is full of many highlights, among them, the biggest attraction is who can prevent the Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich's six consecutive championships, relevant agencies have done an investigation, German fans will basically break Bayern's monopoly hope, put on RB Leipzig, because this team, with 100 million pounds, is also the most expensive player in the Bundesliga.

The opening game was between last season's champions Bayern Munich and pharmaceutical company Bayer Leverkusen, and the only Bundesliga game on Friday night was a 3-1 win over captains Manuel Neuer, Xavi Martinez and Thiago Alcantara in the absence of captains Manuel Neuer, Xavi Martinez and Thiago Alcantara to get the season off to a flying start.

Despite the absence of a number of key players, new signings Niklas Jule, Sebastián Rudi and Corendín Tolisso showed the depth of the bench with their goals and assists.

On Saturday's match day, the first five games were played, in addition to the away Hannover 96 and Dortmund got off to a good start, the other three home teams also won, Dortmund beat Wolfsburg by three goals to temporarily top the table, the capital team Hertha Berlin beat promoted Stuttgart by two goals, and Hoffenheim, the dark horse who won the Champions League qualification last season, beat Werder Bremen by one goal, and Zhang Yuning was not selected for the squad.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, at Battlens Arena, there is still half an hour to go, and a major battle is about to begin.
