Chapter 192: The Doctrine of Voting

After the FIFA awards ceremony, the biggest news was that Ronaldo beat Ribery to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

Cristiano Ronaldo did score a lot of goals in 2013, but his biggest problem was that he didn't have any titles, which led many to support the election of five-time champion Franck Ribery.

If there is controversy, there will be fans who are interested, and there will be media reports that follow.

The media were divided into two factions, and they stood in line and quarreled.

In fact, before the Golden Globe Awards, many media had a voice that Ribery should be elected, but it is likely that Ronaldo will be elected in the end.

This is all due to the selection mechanism of the Golden Globe Awards.

In the current voting for the Ballon d'Or, 184 FIFA national team managers voted, 184 FIFA national team captains voted, plus 173 sports media from various countries voted, which can be said to account for one-third each.

Each of these votes can be filled with the three best performers, with the player in first place receiving 5 points, the second player getting 3 points, and the third player getting 1 point, and then adding up the total points and comparing them, the player with the most points wins the Ballon d'Or.

In this way of voting, the head coach and captain of the national team together vote more than two-thirds, and for many countries in remote areas and areas with underdeveloped information, the voting of their national team head coach and captain can easily become a vote based on fame, and whoever is famous will vote for whom.

In this year's selection, Ribery is far ahead of Mero in the media voting score, but in the voting scores of the national team captain and head coach, Mero is far ahead of Ribery, and all in all, Ribery's total score is not even as much as Messi.

In fact, the biggest gap is fame.

After the awards ceremony, the final voting results for the Golden Globe Awards were announced.

The topic that Chinese journalists have been concerned about has also been revealed, and Ringer has a total score of 151 points, ranking sixth. In addition to Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, and Ribery, Ibrahimovic and Neymar are all ahead of him.

Of course, in this final scoring ranking, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Ribery are all far behind the other players, and the top three have scored thousands of points, while the fourth Ibrahimovic has only 250 points.

Ringer's 6th place finish is not unexpected, and some media even said that Ringer's reputation is still much worse than that of a famous talent like Neymar, otherwise he should be ranked ahead of Neymar, or even higher than Ibrahimovic.

But on the Asian side, Ringer's ranking is big news, and this is the first time that an Asian player has reached such a high ranking in the Ballon d'Or or the World Footballer of the Year selection.

The official website of the AFC has specially issued a congratulatory article for this purpose, titled "How far is the Asian Footballer to the World Footballer?" 》。

In China, it is natural to report on this matter, and people have begun to care, who voted for Ringer?

But after checking, there are three tickets in China, one for Camacho's acting national team head coach Fu Bo after class, one for Zheng Zhi, the captain of the national team, and one for the sports weekly.

Among the three tickets in China, Fu Bo and Sports Weekly's tickets did not have Ringer's name on them, and only Zheng Zhi's vote filled Ringer in third place, contributing 1 point to him.

As soon as this incident was reported, it sparked a discussion, should I vote for my own people?

Fu Bo and Sports Weekly both said the same thing in an interview: "Ringer's performance was not enough to enter the top three, so he didn't vote." ”

Zheng Zhi's answer was: "I think Ringer is already a player second only to Ronaldo and Messi, so I wrote his name in the third place." ”

On Zheng Zhi's ticket, Ronaldo is first, Messi is second, and Ringer is third.

Chinese reporters on the European side found some people who voted for Ringer and interviewed them.

Ringer's teammate at Atletico, Diego Godin, who captained the Uruguayan national team, voted for Ringer first, and even put his fellow Uruguayan countrymen Suarez and Cavani in second and third place, saying in an interview: "I am teammates with Rin, I know in training how good he is, he deserves this first vote." ”

Interestingly, Atletico Madrid's arch-rival Real Madrid's star Cristiano Ronaldo, who is the captain of the Portuguese national team, also had Ringer's name on his vote.

There is an unspoken rule in the Golden Globe voting that if you are one of the competitors and are eligible to vote, you generally do not vote for yourself, but you do not vote for your competitors either.

On Ronaldo's ticket, the first is his teammate Bale, the second is Ringer, and the third is his former teammate Mesut Ozil.

Cristiano Ronaldo was also interviewed and said: "I played in Madrid, so I know very well how popular he has been recently, so I gave him a second vote. ”

In the end, this topic was ended by Makoto Hasebe, a Japanese player who plays for Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, he is the captain of the Japanese national team, and Ringer was also ranked first on his ticket, his answer was: "I voted for Lin Jun first, and I also know that his performance is not the best, but as an Asian to be selected for the Golden Ball Award, this is already a huge honor for Asian football, so this first vote is actually an encouragement to Asian football." ”

In addition to voting, Ibrahimovic also told reporters after the award: "I am this year's Puskas Award player, and I am ranked higher than the other party in the Golden Ball Award score, and I don't know why the Chinese was selected for the best team." ”

Ringer wanted to say, you don't have a little bit of a count in your heart? Of course, you didn't perform as well as me to lose the election, could there be any other reason?

But forget it, I've already won the prize anyway, so there's no need to talk to that guy again.

In fact, there are not too many reporters to hype this topic, Ringer is better than the other party in terms of goals and championship honors, especially in the Champions League, his performance is much better than Ibrahimovic, the only thing that is not as good as Ibrahimovic is fame, and there is no problem in squeezing out Ibrahimovic's election.

After a lot of uproar, it finally had to be calm.

On January 15, the day of the Spanish Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid will host Valencia.

Since Ringer had only just returned from Zurich, he was not included in the squad at all. However, before the game, Ringer appeared in a suit and showed off his Team of the Year trophy to the fans in CalderΓ³n.

"Lin, good thing, you're the best striker in Europe, to hell with that Swede!"

~~~

There were many voices in support of him in the stands.

This is the second year in a row that Atletico Madrid has had a player named in the Team of the Year, and last year it was Falcao who was elected as a striker, and Atletico Madrid's striker training camp is even more famous.

After showing the trophy, Ringer returned to the stands and the game continued.

Although Ringer will not play, Simeone has arranged for other elites to play.

Since Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 away from home to the Bats in the last leg and scored an away goal, Atletico played relatively conservatively, and the two sides exchanged blanks in the first half.

However, at the start of the second half, Diego Godin scored with a header from a corner, and soon Raul Garcia extended his advantage, and the game was basically not a problem.

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Valencia 2-0 at home and eliminated their opponents 3-1 on aggregate to enter the quarterfinals of this season's Copa del Rey.

Uruguay is out of the game, France is really difficult, but Brazil is actually out, and two days ago he frantically mocked Germany out of the group stage, which is a loser, and the World Cup has completely become the European Cup.
