World Footballer of the Year. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The award was created by FIFA in 1991 and the winner will receive the title of 'World Footballer of the Year' and become the world's best player, which is an extraordinary honor for footballers.

The footballers who have been elected to the World Footballer of the Year are the players who have performed extremely well in one year, and among these outstanding players, one of the best players will be selected to become the World Footballer of the Year. There is only one honor winner every year, and it is conceivable that the gold content of this honor is extremely high.

Since this honor is a very important award due to its high gold content, its selection criteria are also very strict.

In November of each year, the football associations of all continents and countries submit the list of outstanding players for the year to FIFA, and then the best candidates are selected according to the performance of each player in the club and national team during the year.

The selection of this honor is also very strict, and it is voted for by the managers and captains of each national team under FIFA, and each person has three places, but he cannot choose the national team members he coaches (for example, McClaren thinks that the best player in the world is Wang Li, but he cannot vote for Wang Li).

The first-choice player gets 5 points, the second-choice player gets 3 points, and the third-choice player gets 1 point.

Although FIFA has no official statements or clauses, some patterns can still be found in the annual evaluation criteria.

In a World Cup year, the World Footballer of the Year award is based on the World Cup record of each player's national team and the player's individual performance at the World Cup. In non-World Cup years, the main criterion is the performance of the player's club in the Champions League.

Last season, thanks to his excellent performances at the club, Chelsea also won the European Champions Cup, which made Wang Li's reputation skyrocket, although he was banned for more than half a year, but with his performance in the first half of the year, he was still shortlisted for the final three of the World Footballer of the Year.

Although the other two did not perform as well as Wang Li in the first half of the year, they were not banned, and their performance time was half that of Wang Li.

Ronaldinho was last year's World Footballer of the Year, he was Barcelona's star of the game, and last season with Gerrard's outstanding performance, Liverpool also reached the Champions League final, and the two also had a good performance in the national team, so this time the selection of the World Footballer is as incomprehensible as a fog.

So, while the Spanish media were still marveling at Wang Li's Spanish debut, they immediately turned their attention to Zurich, Switzerland, where this evening's winner of this year's World Footballer of the Year will be announced.

For the media, whoever wins the World Footballer of the Year is just a personal honor, and they are also concerned about the draw ceremony for the final stage of the European Championship.

This draw is related to the matchup of the teams that have qualified from the European group in the round of 16, and every media in Europe is not neutral, and these sports media have teams that support them, so this draw is what they are most concerned about

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon of that day, Wang Li and Angela rushed to the Real Madrid club together, and then flew to Zurich, Switzerland with the club's president Florentino, the team's head coach Carlo, the team's director Martinez and Zidane.

On this day, the small square in front of the Zurich Opera House is very lively, and it has become a playground for journalists, media and fans, and many, many local Swiss fans come here not to enjoy the opera, but to have the opportunity to meet the stars, ask for autographs and take pictures.

Aragon is also one of them.

He is only 14 years old this year, a secondary school student, and when he learned that the draw for this year's UEFA Champions League and the World Footballer of the Year ceremony were held here, he and his friends came to the neighbourhood.

In fact, Aragon was always looked down upon because of his poor football skills.

Football in Switzerland is very strong, and children from average families are exposed to the sport from an early age.

And because of Aragorn's late physical development, he is only 1.50 meters tall now, which is really a little short for a teenager of the same age, and Aragorn's surname is also a little cowardly, so he is always bullied by his classmates, and he has no good performance on the court.

However, Aragon is a big fan and he loves the local Zurich team.

But like other average-sized children, although they like local players very much, they also yearn for the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga and other world's top leagues of football, although many people have not been in contact with those stars, but they also know their appearance, name, and technical level.

And this time, it seems that they have a chance to get up close and personal with these stars.

However, when they arrived at the door of the Zurich Opera House, their mood became terrible, because at this time, the front of the door was already full of people, and a few people were really inconspicuous among them, and even if a star appeared, I am afraid that they could only sign autographs for a few people in front of them.

There was little hope for them.

"Aragorn, just because you still want the autograph of the star?"

At this time, a stout-looking boy next to him walked over, and there were several other people beside him, all with a hint of ridicule on their faces.

Seeing this boy, the expression on Aragorn's face was a little timid, he lowered his head and didn't say anything, but a short-haired boy next to him couldn't help but say: "Peter, don't be complacent, we don't have a signature, and you don't want to!" ”

"Hmph, then we'll see!"

When Peter heard this, he turned his head to look at the large crowd of fans around him, feeling a little annoyed, and then he and the others rushed towards the crowd.

"Otherwise, let's go back." After Peter and the others were gone, a little boy looked at the crowd around him and said.

The others thought the same way, and now that there were so many fans in front of the opera house, it was too difficult to squeeze to the front, let alone get an autograph from a star, which was almost impossible for a few people.

However, Aragorn still had the heart to stay, he wanted to try his luck, although he was a little cowardly towards Peter, but he was also indignant in his heart, "Can't I get an autograph?" ”

So after his friends left, he went around the neighborhood, hoping that 'pie in the sky' would hit him, so that he could meet a star he knew and ask for an autograph.

It's almost harder than winning the 5 million jackpot, but after Aragorn turned a block, he saw a very familiar figure.

"Alan. King??? His mouth grew in surprise.

Aragorn was very fond of Wang Li, and he watched the video of Wang Li's matches every day.

Two months ago, he saved a month's pocket money and bought a large photo of Wang Li on the court to hang on the bedside, and he had to look at it every night when he went to bed and got up in the morning, so he was very familiar with Wang Li's figure.

But at this time, Aragorn did not dare to confirm it, because there was a beautiful looking woman next to the man, both of whom wore baseball caps and sunglasses to hide

When Wang Li and Angela arrived in Zurich, it was still a little early, and Angela wanted to visit this beautiful city, so Wang Li accompanied him around the neighborhood.

However, even in Zurich, Wang Li still needs to hide it, because there are also a large number of fans in Switzerland who know him, and his reputation is already world-class.

At this time, the two had just walked out of a shopping mall, and Wang Li still had a few handbags in his hand, but he didn't expect to be recognized in this way. The cultivation of Taoism's supreme internal strength has made Wang Li deaf and clear-sighted, although the voice from behind is very small, he can still hear it clearly.

So, he subconsciously turned around and saw the little boy behind him.

But the next moment, he wanted to pull Angela directly 'escape', if he was recognized by the fans here, I am afraid that the two of them would have a lot of trouble, you know, this is a commercial block, the flow of people is very dense, and because it is next to the Zurich Opera House, there are still a lot of fans near the block.

But the little boy didn't scream, so Wang Li immediately made an international silence gesture to him, and when he saw the other party nodding, the two looked at each other before exhaling.

By this time, Aragorn had already froze, and he never dreamed that he would see his favorite star here.

Seeing that Wang Li silenced him, Aragorn nodded subconsciously, and then thought of the purpose of his coming to the block, and then took out a notebook that had been prepared and was about to step forward, but he saw Wang Li pointing to the corner of the street, Aragorn was very smart, he immediately understood, and turned to walk towards the street.

Seeing that the little Swiss boy was so smart, and Wang Li was in a good mood, he gave Aragorn an autograph, and Angela took a picture of the two and handed him the negative.

After Wang Li and Angela left, Aragorn still felt that he was in a dream, his eyes were staring at the negative in his hand, and after reacting, he immediately ran to a photo studio and washed many photos.

"Haha, I've got an autograph from Liverpool star Steven Gerrard."

That night, Aragorn walked around the square alone, and got Wang Li's autograph and group photo to make him feel good. But he didn't expect to run into Peter and his gang again.

Peter's luck seems to have been good, he ran into Gerald and asked for an autograph.

Seeing Aragorn coming over, Peter took the autograph and said ostentatiously: "Aragorn, look, I got Steven. Gerald's signature! You didn't get anything, haha, I know! ”

"I have Allen's autograph and I've had a picture with him."

In the face of Peter's mocking questioning, Aragorn did not bow his head timidly, but puffed up his chest and said loudly, his immature face full of pride, and he looked full of confidence.

Peter had never seen Aragorn look like this, and he was a little puzzled, but then he reacted to the meaning of Aragorn's words, and then laughed at his partner next to him: "Hahaha, this kid is dreaming again, and we haven't seen Allen's shadow at all." ”

"It's true!!" Aragorn blushed and yelled.

Peter, who had never seen Aragorn angry, was a little frightened, but he still didn't believe it: "Where's the signature?" You're not bragging, are you? ”

So Aragorn took out his autograph and a group photo to show Peter and his group, and they were all dumbfounded, and immediately envied Aragorn, and soon they began to listen to Aragorn tell the 'suspenseful story' of his encounter with Wang Li and his autograph and group photo.

After returning home in the evening, he replaced the photo of Wang Li at the head of the bed with a photo of himself and Wang Li.

This night was perhaps his happiest day

While Aragon was still basking in the goodness, inside the Zurich Opera House, the draw for the Champions League group had begun.

Under the live broadcast of many sports television stations around the world, each guest took the stage to draw the number plates of the opponents for each team in turn, and Wang Li was also invited to help Chelsea draw the opponent, which really embarrassed Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, but won the laughter of others.

When Wang Li pulled out the corresponding number from the box, all the cameras in the audience focused on his right hand.

"Oh! mygod！ Ac milan!! ”

Hearing the name, Mourinho was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth!

Last season, when Chelsea faced off in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the opponent was AC Milan, although in last season's meeting, Chelsea easily defeated AC Milan over two legs, but that was more because Wang Li's individual performance was too good.

Now, Wang Li belongs to Real Madrid, but AC Milan is even tougher than last season, and meeting this kind of opponent in the round of 16 is really a major test for Chelsea.

'Seeing defending champions Chelsea meet a good opponent and we're looking forward to a matchup between the two big clubs, it's going to be a good game.' At this time, the host did not forget to explain slowly.

However, when he heard these words, Mourinho felt uncomfortable.

AC Milan were happy with the result, having been comfortably eliminated by Chelsea in the quarter-finals last season, which has been a pain in the hearts of Milan fans, and now they have a chance to get revenge.

Ancelotti did not have much pressure against the defending champions in the first round, because now Chelsea has no Wang Li, he doesn't have to worry about this anymore, and he is confident of beating Chelsea, after all, without Wang Li, Chelsea's strength has dropped at least one notch.

At least that's what Ancelotti thinks.

In fact, everyone can see that Chelsea is by no means as strong as last season in the Premier League, although they are the first in the Premier League, but they only pulled Manchester United 2 points, which is far from last season's 31 rounds, winning 30 and drawing 1.

After that, Steven. Steven Gerrard was invited to help Real Madrid choose an opponent.

So, he drew the Gunners Arsenal.

Real Madrid and his party didn't have much feeling for this opponent, but Wenger in the audience was so angry that he almost stepped forward to have a live PK with Gerrard!

In the last season, Arsenal has been devastated by Wang Li, this summer, Wenger was greatly relieved after hearing that Wang Li transferred to Real Madrid, but now Arsenal has met Real Madrid again, so it is necessary to study how to deal with Wang Li.

When he heard the name "Real Madrid", Wenger even felt that Arsenal had little hope, and if he could figure out how to limit Wang Li, he would not have played Chelsea three times last season, and all three times failed by a big score.

Thinking of this, Wenger was very disappointed, and he felt that Arsenal was the most unlucky.

When Mourinho saw that Arsenal drew Real Madrid, the Portuguese finally laughed, although Chelsea's opponent is very strong, but Real Madrid is no worse than AC Milan, and Mourinho knows Wang Li very well, he knows that Arsenal meets Wang Li, almost incomprehensible.

A team that is not good at defense in the first place, how can it play in the face of a player like Wang Li who can't defend one or two defenders with the ball!?

In Mourinho's opinion, it is simply too difficult.

If it is Chelsea against Real Madrid, according to his understanding of Wang Li, he can also arrange several ways to limit Wang Li's play, but with Arsenal's style of play, it is too difficult to study tactics to limit Wang Li's play.

On top of that, Arsenal's backline is too vulnerable!

After several rounds of draws, the matchup results table is finally out:

Chelsea meet Serie A champions AC Milan; Bundesliga boss Bayern Munich met La Liga's Barcelona; Real Madrid's opponent is Gunners Arsenal; These three confrontations are undoubtedly the most eye-catching confrontations in the round of 16, the others are Werder Bremen vs Juventus; PSV Eindhoven v Lyon; Ajax vs Inter Milan; Benfica v Middlesbrough; Villarreal vs Rangers.

As soon as this matchup came out, almost everyone in the scene felt that UEFA had done something in it.

Among the 16 teams, the strength of the six teams of Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan, Arsenal, Bayern and Chelsea is definitely in the first team, and the others are Inter, Lyon, and Juventus have some strength, but now, these six teams have met in pairs, which undoubtedly adds a lot of highlights to the round of 16.

However, these Wang Li don't care, he already knows Arsenal very well as an opponent, and the moment he saw Gerrard draw Arsenal, he knew that Real Madrid could easily qualify.

At the very least, he felt that with Arsenal's tragic backline, it was difficult to limit his play.

He is very confident in this, and his quality is always improving.

After the draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League, it was the most important part for the players on the scene, and the most important reason why they came to this ceremony today - FIFA announced the results of the World Footballer of the Year and the award ceremony.

At this time, a beautiful host came to the stage to announce the start of the World Footballer of the Year award ceremony, and the hall turned dark, and the big screen on the stage lit up.

At the beginning, the screen showed a player wearing an England shirt with a flash of tenacity and perseverance on his face. Gerrard. After a few footage of the England international matches, the screen began to show videos of Steven Gerrard's performances at the club, including many footage of goals, assists and various performances, as well as professional analysts explaining his role in the Liverpool team.

All in all, the video is not just a goal to qualify, but also a comprehensive analysis of Gerrard's individual performances.

At the end of the picture, it is the scene where Liverpool lost to Chelsea.

Gerrard stepped forward to receive the silver medal reward of the Champions Cup, and on the podium, after he shook hands with Mr. Barr, his face was full of tears, and he said that men have tears and do not flick, but this is the first chance to hope for the top of Europe since Gerrard joined Liverpool, but they failed, and it was a failure without suspense.

This made Gerrard helpless and at the same time, he was particularly sad about losing this final.

After Gerrard's short film, there is the video of Ronaldinho's game, compared to the handsome Gerrard, Ronaldinho is much inferior, I am afraid that the average person will think that he is an alien at first sight.

However, Ronaldinho's performance was much more exciting than Gerrard's, not only in terms of goals, but also his instantaneous reactions on the pitch and imaginative movements, all of which gave people a shocking feeling!

As Barcelona's number one star, Ronaldinho's form is at its peak, and his ability is unquestionable.

If I just watched Gerrard's short film and moved everyone at the scene, watching the video of Ronaldinho's game gave people a wonderful passion.

When the video ended, there was a round of applause from the audience, which was a recognition of the performance of real stars by people who love football.

When the screen was pitch black again, Wang Li was a little excited and excited, he held Angela's little hand next to him, staring at the screen without blinking, and Angela also caressed his back.

At this point, the background of the big screen changed to Stamford Bridge.

The most eye-catching sight on the pitch was a brunette boy standing in the centre circle with his hands raised in the air, and almost all the fans in the stadium cheered loudly under this heroic action, as if they were celebrating the enthronement of a court king.

In front of this black-haired boy, there is also a young man with a "resolute" appearance who is "worshipping", which is even more convincing.

Seeing this picture, Wang Li almost laughed, it was in a league, after he scored, Thomas joked with him, however, although Thomas was 'obscene', but this company looked very resolute under the camera, which made Wang Li have a strange feeling in his heart.

The short hair that begins with this picture is indeed unusual, and what follows is Wang Li's wonderful goal video.

is different from the previous two, Wang Li's short film is almost all shots of goals, because he has too many wonderful goals, and because as a striker, his outstanding point is to score goals.

However, every time a few pictures of him passing quickly on the court are inserted, the scene will be amazed, his extreme speed is already very shocking, and under the extreme speed, with a smart temperament is really very rare.

This kind of running seems to make people feel that he is born with an ethereal temperament, giving people infinite reverie.

The whole short film lasted five minutes, which was longer than the previous two, but none of the people at the bottom were tired of watching it, Wang Li's goal video was full of tricks, and there were any shocking ways, which made people not tired of watching it with relish.

After the three short films were played, the lights were back on the stage, and it was only then that the host announced: "Now I would like to invite FIFA President Mr. Blatter to announce this year's World Footballer of the Year winner!" ”

As a result, there was a round of applause from the stands to welcome Blatter on stage.

As the president of FIFA, Blatter has a busy schedule, and he didn't have time to attend this kind of award ceremony, but during this time, he happened to be back in Switzerland, so he came to attend the ceremony.

Blatter is 69 years old, but the Swiss-born old man still looks very capable, he walked on the stage very calmly, stood in front of the microphone, first babbled a bunch of boring official languages, and then began to get to the point, praising the performance of Gerrard, Wang Li and Ronaldinho, and then he announced that "after the vote of the head coaches and team captains of various countries, this year's World Footballer of the Year is"

In order to adjust the atmosphere of the scene, Blatter paused at this point, and turned to look around with a smile, while Wang Li was also very nervous waiting for that moment-"Allen. King!!! ”

At the same time, everyone's eyes turned to Wang Li, and Wang Li hugged Angela excitedly, and did not let go of his hands until the latter was coquettish.

At the same time, the whole hall burst into applause, even Gerrard and Ronaldinho, although they were a little disappointed that they were not elected, but compared to Wang Li's performance, they were already prepared for it.

After Blatter's announcement, it was time for the awards ceremony.

At this time, the staff used the tray end to represent the trophy of the World Footballer, which was a round ball trophy in the shape of a small globe, with longitude and latitude lines drawn on the top of the globe, and a person playing football, with a blue concave on one side, on which were written the English letters "2005worldplayer".

"You've done a great job, boy, and I'm glad I was able to present you with the award myself." Standing on the podium, Blatter personally handed over the trophy to Wang Li, and said with kindness and kindness: "I have seen your performance, and your ability is outstanding. This is a World Cup year and I hope you can do well in the World Cup. ”

"Thank you, sir."

Wang Li nodded, thanked Prague for his care, and then took the trophy representing the world footballer from his hand, and then turned around and raised it with one hand.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the audience reached **.

In front of these big names in the football arena in the venue, Wang Li really became the focus of everyone, and won the first meaningful personal honor of his career - World Footballer of the Year.
