"I guess there's no surprise that I'm here, right?"

Iroh had the same opening remarks as Ronaldo, with a touch of humor.

The new FIFA Ballon d'Or winner was greeted with a burst of laughter, which was accompanied by a round of applause.

Immediately, Iello put the 'golden ball' in his hand on the right side of the podium, that is, on the left side of the camera, and then looked at the guests, with his head held high, and he was wearing a suit carefully designed by Versace, which looked extremely charming.

“…… Actually, I'm really excited to be here, and everybody knows that I had one of the worst injuries of my life at the end of 2009, when I thought I was going to be away from all the glory, but at that time, ...... My good friends, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, said to me, 'There is no point in competing without you, get better quickly, we will compete for all glory fairly!' ’”

As Iello spoke, the on-site director switched the camera to the faces of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, both of whom had faint smiles on their faces.

But...... The psychological activity of the two is very active: go to *** fair play!

"Last year, Cristiano Ronaldo won the first FIFA Ballon d'Or while I wasn't there, so ...... This year he was ousted by me, and I ...... Stand here. ”

Hearing this, everyone was amused by Iroh's unique way, including Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Immediately afterwards, his voice suddenly raised an octave, and the momentum of the whole person suddenly increased: "I have been on the stage four times and three times respectively for the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or, and now ...... The new FIFA Ballon d'Or is my first time on stage, but I want to say ...... It's definitely not the only time, and I'm sure I'll be standing here this time next year. ”

"Do you believe it?"

No one answered the scene, but there was warm applause.

Football is a competitive sport, and competitive athletes should have the momentum of being the best of others, otherwise how can they become dragons among people?

However, the local commentator in Barcelona was a little unhappy: "Isn't it just that there are more goals?" What's so good about it? Our Leao will score goals and more than you! I bet ......"

Speaking of this, the local commentator in Barcelona was suddenly dumbfounded, obviously not confident in the latter words, so the voice changed: "I bet the 2011 FIFA Golden Ball Awards is coming to an end!" ”

"Finally, I would like to thank my teammates, coaches, family, friends...... It was their constant care that made me focus more on the football game, and my success was not entirely due to my own efforts, but to the credit of everyone......"

The next day, the mainstream media reports in Europe revolved around the new FIFA Ballon d'Or winner Iroh, especially his acceptance speech.

There are two sides to everything, and the same goes for giving testimonials.

The media that supported Iroh portrayed him as a superplayer who could maintain his hunger for honor after winning numerous honors, and this fighting spirit is truly admirable.

The Madrid and Barcelona media, who were unhappy with Elo, described him as arrogant and disrespectful of others, using his success to satirize Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who were not elected.

But as time passed, the sound began to fall.

In midweek, Valencia played Sevilla away in the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, and the team reversed the slump of two consecutive defeats, with four goals from Elo, David Silva, Cazorla and Cesar Azpilicueta helping Valencia win a 4-1 win at the Estadio Pizjuan to advance to the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey with an aggregate score of 5-3.

Seeing this score, coach Carlo Ancelotti was very satisfied, and the mentality of the players has obviously improved qualitatively compared to the two consecutive defeats.

Although Carlo Ancelotti didn't know what was going wrong with the team during this period, he knew that it was definitely captain Iroh who did something, because he learned from the staff at the training base that on the eve of the departure for Zurich, the captain Iroh had some communication with the players in the dressing room.

The next morning's training attitude improved significantly, and now that the focus of the game is back and the state has picked up, it is even more certain that it has something to do with Ello.

Thinking of this, Carlo Ancelotti remembered the legend of AC Milan Maldini......

He is such a responsible captain, no matter what problems arise within the team, he will always stand up and solve the problem at the first time.

Having such a captain is really a blessing for Valencia.

Valencia's overall form has picked up very quickly, including a round of replay during the Club World Cup, and they have won 15 consecutive league games in April, and are at the top of the table with an astonishing total of 30 wins, one draw and one loss with 91 points, a full 15 points ahead of second-placed Real Madrid and 19 points ahead of third-placed Barcelona.

That is to say, when the 2011-2012 La Liga season reached the 32nd round, Barcelona had completely missed the La Liga championship this season.

Of course, Valencia's ability to lead by so many points with six rounds of the league left is directly related to their four national derby wins, while Barcelona and Real Madrid's two-legged league tie ended in a draw, which indirectly helped Valencia.

Valencia also reached the final of the Copa del Rey match, beating Barcelona again in the semi-finals to meet Real Madrid at the Stadio Calderón in the Copa del Rey final.

Another high-profile Champions League also reached the semi-finals, they faced the German giant Bayern Munich, and Barcelona was eliminated by Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals early because of the change of coach.

Valencia have the lowest odds for the title of each major bookmaker in Europe, which means that they are still strong contenders for the title.

In terms of individual goals, Iello scored a staggering 58 goals in 32 league games, and it was only a matter of time before he broke the single-season goal record he set in 2010-2011.

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have equally outstanding goals, scoring 49 and 51 goals respectively, which is not very far behind, but a little compared to Iro.

And Barcelona's overall form this season has been sluggish, and Messi's excellent performance has not been of any use.

In the words of the 'alien' Ronaldo in an interview: "There is no suspense about the Spanish league championship and the Copa del Rey this season, and the championship will once again belong to Valencia, and the Champions League will ...... Valencia have more than 90% chances of defending their Champions League title! ”
