Chapter 380: Who is the biggest favorite for the Golden Globes?
After the end of the 16th round, Atletico still occupy the top position with a one-point lead.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are not far behind, and La Liga is in a triwizard situation.
With the time of FIFA's annual awards approaching, the talk about the Ballon d'Or has become the focus of media and fans.
Numerous media outlets analyzed several candidates in terms of performance, popularity, influence, and so on throughout 2013.
Many people think that Ronaldo and Li Chuanqi are the most competitive, who will win in the end?
It has a lot to do with the performance in the next few rounds.
Atletico Madrid also had in-depth discussions within the club, and finally everyone reached a consensus that they hoped to help Li Chuanqi win the Ballon d'Or.
Not only that, but they stood up for Li Chuanqi in an interview with the media.
Simeone said: "Lee is the best player of the year, there's no doubt about it, whether it's the number of goals, the brilliance of the goals, or the dominance of the pitch, he's the best performer.
I'm not saying that other players are not doing well, such as Cristiano, who has performed well in many important games this year, but compared to Lee, there is still a certain gap! β
Costa said: "Lee didn't win the Golden Globe, which means that there is a problem with the selection of the Golden Globe itself. β
Godin said: "Lee is the most talented player I've ever seen, and when he's on the pitch, he's a threat to the opposition, and I've only felt that in stars like Maradona and Ronaldo. β
Li Chuanqi and Cristiano Ronaldo have become the two favorites for this year's Ballon d'Or, making it difficult for the Madrid media.
As the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, Marca chose to support the Portuguese superstar: "Obviously, Cristiano deserves to win this year's Ballon d'Or, we are not saying that Lee is not doing well this year, but because he is too young, he has not won a weighty title other than the La Liga title.
Cristiano has long proven himself on the field, winning the Premier League, La Liga, the Champions League, he has won them all.
Although Lee is talented, he is too young, Ronaldo was 20 years old when he won the World Footballer of the Year, and Lee is only 19 years old now.
We don't think Lee should break Ronaldo's record as the youngest World Footballer of the Year. β
"Whether Cristiano wins this year's Ballon d'Or or Lee wins this year's Ballon d'Or, it's a good thing for Madrid, which shows that Madrid has become a place where the best stars in the world gather!"
The two of them have been in a great position this year, and they are also the best performers this year! β
The French team newspaper is the initiator of the Ballon d'Or, and their views have an immeasurable influence on who wins the Ballon d'Or.
The team newspaper commented: "Lee is undoubtedly the biggest discovery in world football in recent years, and with his birth, it is one superstar after another who has fallen at his feet.
He had a 'magical' aura on him from the moment he led the amateur team Santo Malaga to the Copa del Rey, and then he led the financially struggling Malaga, BarΓ§a and Real Madrid, to La Liga titles.
This feat can be compared to Maradona's victory in Serie A when he led Napoli to the Serie A championship!
In last year's Champions League, although Malaga fell in the quarter-finals, Lee's performance was obvious to all.
In his first year in the top league, he beat the two best stars in world football today, helping the team not only win the La Liga title, but also the La Liga and Champions League Golden Boot, such a great achievement that no one could do before him.
Such an achievement is enough to make him the biggest favorite for this year's Golden Globe Awards. β
As a party, Li Chuanqi has become the focus of many media interviews.
Speaking to The Guardian, he said: "Of course I aspire to win this year's Ballon d'Or because it's the highest personal honour and I think almost all players aspire to get the Ballon d'Or.
In terms of this year's performance, although I still have a lot to improve, I am still very happy with myself and I have done everything I have to do. β
The reporter asked him what he would have thought if he hadn't won this year's Golden Globe Award.
"I don't have too many ideas, it just means that I haven't done well enough, it just means that the players who won the Ballon d'Or are better than me!"
The Guardian reported what Li Chuanqi said, which made the fans who supported him very happy, and some even shouted to Ronaldo: "Cristiano, do you think you are better than Li this year?" β
Some British tabloids reported that Real Madrid President Florentino made a lot of phone calls in order for Ronaldo to win the Ballon d'Or, asking these voting people to vote for the Portuguese superstar: "According to reliable sources, Florentino personally or his cronies made hundreds of phone calls to voting people, with only one purpose, to persuade them to vote for Cristiano!"
So the winner of the Golden Globe for a few years is not the favorite Lee, but Cristiano! β
The reporters immediately asked Florentino for confirmation.
The Real Madrid president denied it: "People overestimate my influence, do I have that much influence? Since there isn't, why should I do it?
If I had that much influence, Cristiano would have won the Ballon d'Or in the last two years, so why wait until this year? β
β¦β¦
On December 21, the 17th round of La Liga began, and Atletico Madrid took the lead in the debut, sitting at home against the twelfth-ranked Levante.
Simeone changed his usual approach, not only letting Li Chuanqi start, but also letting him play the whole game.
In the 90-minute game, Li Chuanqi shone and scored six goals!
When the match was over, the CalderΓ³n Stadium chanted: "Ballon d'Or!" Golden Globe Awards! Golden Globe Awards! β¦β¦β
The Madrid Sports Channel commentator lamented: "Atletico Madrid fans think Lee should win this year's Ballon d'Or, and if Lee can win the Ballon d'Or, he will become the first star in Atletico Madrid's history to win the Ballon d'Or!" β
Many Atletico Madrid fans said in an interview with the media: "We think Lee deserves to win this year's Ballon d'Or!" Cristiano is at the bottom of his several direct duels, not to mention Messi! β
"We hope Lee can win this year's Ballon d'Or, of course, he may not win, but he is the Ballon d'Or winner in our hearts!"
"We are eager for the team to produce a Ballon d'Or, but we also know that there are various surprises in the selection of the Ballon d'Or, such as Messi winning the Ballon d'Or in the last two years without a title."
Atletico Madrid fans are still full of worries about whether Li Chuanqi can win the Ballon d'Or, after all, Messi has won the Ballon d'Or in the past two years, which is too surprising.
Who can guarantee that there will not be such an accident this year?
And they chose to believe the British tabloid report - Florentino is using his influence to help Ronaldo win the Ballon d'Or. Please keep in mind: Lily, URL mobile version PC version, Lily free fastest update no anti-theft no anti-theft.
