Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, David Villa, Elo, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Sneijder are the seven players carefully selected by the European mainstream media and the world media according to the 2010 year, which is nearing the end, and are the favorites to enter the final three candidates, but it would be a loss to cross out anyone's name.

If 2010 wasn't the World Cup, it would be much better, either Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi, indisputable.

The problem is that the 2010 World Cup in South Africa was a real surprise for the fans, with David Villa, Elo, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Sneijder impressing fans and media alike.

Although Argentina's entry into the semi-finals has little to do with Messi, he also contributed four goals, which, combined with his performances in La Liga and the Champions League, is enough to compete with Cristiano Ronaldo, who has not performed well in the World Cup.

Coupled with the 2006 World Cup year, didn't Ielo unexpectedly win the World Footballer of the Year election in the World Footballer of the Year election?

So the media can't guess which three candidates belong to......

Therefore, the focus can only be on the press conference held at the Paris headquarters of France Football on the evening of the 6th, waiting for the organizers to announce the results.

At half past six in the afternoon local time in France, half an hour before the results of the top three candidates for the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or, the scene was already full.

Seven o'clock in the evening, that is, the time period for the press conference of FIFA and France Football magazine.

The press conference began with FIFA Secretary-General Valker thanking all the judges and the media on behalf of FIFA for their strong support, and then said some useless polite words, but did not affect the mood of the reporters, their attention was focused on the white envelope in Valker's hand, which contained the top three players of the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or, which means that the suspense is about to be revealed.

In the limelight, Valker opened the envelope and couldn't pick the top three players: Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and David Villa.

Seeing that the top three did not have the name of Aillo, the Chinese media felt a little incredible, but they reacted quickly, after all, Ailo did not participate in the league and the Champions League in the middle and late stages of the important 2009-2010 season, even if he played well in the five games of the World Cup, it is difficult to shake Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, who have played well in the league and the Champions League, and it is even more difficult to shake David Villa's seven goals to lead Spain to the World Cup.

In the end, they are still used to the honors of Iello in the past three European Ballon d'Or Awards and four World Footballer of the Year, and it is a bit unaccustomed to seeing Iello selected for the FIFA Ballon d'Or 23 shortlist but not being selected for the final top three...

However, they are not discouraged, Iello performed very well in the 2010-2011 La Liga and Champions League, if nothing else, the final top three list of the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or will definitely have a share of Iro, and there is a good chance of winning the first place!

With the announcement of the top three FIFA Ballon d'Or lists, the global sports media began to speculate about the final FIFA Ballon d'Or winner, announced in Zurich, Switzerland, on January 10 next year......

The next day, all the mainstream media reports in Europe revolved around the top three FIFA Ballon d'Or awards.

Marca, As, Manchester Evening News, etc., supported Cristiano Ronaldo's final FIFA Ballon d'Or, while Le Monde Sport, Daily Sport, and Ole supported Messi for the FIFA Ballon d'Or, like other neutral media outlets, such as Bild, Torino Sport, and Valencia Sport......

In their hearts, the Spanish goalscorer, who won the World Cup for the first time, weighed more.

It is worth mentioning that David Villa was quite excited when he learned that he had been selected for the final top three......

※※※

David Villa, who was selected for the top three, is a Valencia player, and Ancelotti should be happy with it, but when he saw the fax on his desk, he started to have a headache.

This is a fax sent by the Chinese XX Football Association half a month ago, they hope that Valencia will raise their noble hands, Chinese captain Ailo has helped Valencia beat Barcelona, thinking that the end of the away league with Real Madrid can be released, because the next game is not particularly important, asking for permission to meet with the national team a month in advance, to prepare for the 15th Asian Cup in Qatar next month.

There is a reason why the Chinese XX Football Association hopes that Ailo can meet with the national team a month in advance, if there is no Ailo in the World Cup held in South Africa this year, whether the Chinese team can qualify in the group is a huge problem, not to mention the fifth place in the World Cup, so at the strongest moment of the Chinese team, Ailo should lead the team to win the Asian Cup!

Valencia have four games left before the winter break after their league tie with Real Madrid, the most important of which is the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-final 1/8 final at home to Villarreal on the number 22.

Although it doesn't matter if you win or lose the last Champions League group game against Chelsea, the league also has a home game against Osasuna and an away game against Real Sociedad, and now the league is only six points ahead of Barcelona and eight points ahead of Real Madrid, which is not very obvious, and the slightest mistake can make the advantage disappear in an instant.

Valencia, who have Elo, is a package ticket, and FIFA's mandatory requirements after the winter break are not a concern for Ancelotti......

After all, according to FIFA's explicit requirements, warm-up matches and friendly matches are to report to the national team three days in advance, World Cup qualifiers are to report to the national team one week in advance, and the highest preparation for continental competitions such as the Asian Cup is to allow players to report to the national team 15 days in advance......

The Qatar Asian Cup will start on January 7 next year, and fifteen days before it will be December 22, which is the first leg of the Copa del Rey 1/8 final between Valencia and Villarreal.

In fact, it's not that Ancelotti is unwilling to let go, but that this release has to release two - Iroh and Wang Xiaolei.

Both are indispensable and absolute core of the team, and the release of either one has a huge impact on the team's fighting power, and he took over as Valencia manager before this season, and the player has not yet understood his tactical philosophy, and at this time it is necessary to have a top star like Iello to complete the task of scoring goals, and the away wins against Barcelona and Real Madrid are the best examples.

In this regard, Ancelotti can only be regarded as not seeing, anyway, there is still some time before FIFA's hard rules.

The leaders of the Chinese XX Football Association saw that Valencia did not react, so they had to find the team's chairman Xiao Lei through private channels, hoping that he could see the interests of the country and let Ailuo and Wang Xiaolei prepare for the Asian Cup in Qatar next month in advance.

Xiao Lei, who can represent the boss He Puqi to become the chairman of the club, is naturally not a simple person, and as the chairman of the club, he must be responsible for the boss.

In this complicated situation, Valencia host Chelsea, the final opponent of the Champions League group stage.

With both sides already qualified for the group and the first and second place in the group decided, it was a game of ribs, with Valencia, who had just finished playing at the Bernabeu last weekend, making extensive personnel changes.

The same is true for Chelsea, the Premier League, unlike La Liga, has no winter break and is physically demanding during the Christmas period.

Chelsea are fourth in the league this season, and Scolari is under a lot of pressure in the domestic league, and it is impossible to send a main player to consume unnecessary fitness when the second place in Group F of the Champions League group stage has already been determined.

Iello came off the bench in the second half to contribute a goal as Valencia beat Chelsea 1-0 at home to make it unbeaten in the Champions League group stage.

At the same time, the Chinese XX Football Association did not give up negotiations with Valencia, hoping that they could let Ailuo reconcile with the national team in advance.

The media from China paid close attention to this and followed the progress of the negotiations between the Football Association and Valencia.

They all know how important Ailo is to the Chinese team, and there is a huge difference between the national team with Ailo and the national team without Ailo.

As the Chinese media focused on whether Iello could play the national team beyond the FIFA deadline, the European media also began to pay attention to the news.

When Mourinho and Pep Guardiola saw the relevant reports, their eyes lit up, and they were not interested in the Asian Cup, and they hurriedly logged on to the website to check the match time of the 2011 Qatar Asian Cup.

January 7, 2011 - January 29, 2011

Not to mention whether Ancelotti will be released early, Valencia will have an intensive schedule after the winter break, lasting a month of double matches a week!

The last group game of the Chinese team was on January 17, but the strength of this Chinese team is obviously above all Asian teams, and there is no problem in entering the knockout round.

In other words, Iroh will be absent from Valencia for the entire month of January, and the La Liga giants will have an intensive schedule during this time.

Ailo and Wang Xiaolei are the absolute core of Valencia's front and backcourt, and anyone with a little brain knows the impact of their absence on Valencia.

According to this possibility, Valencia only needs to miss a little bit in five league games in January, and it will be the moment when Mourinho and Pep Guardiola chase points!

At this time, the two of them even wanted Ancelotti to allow Iroh and Wang Xiaolei to leave the team immediately and make peace with the Chinese team.
