Chapter 133, Golden Globe Award
"Ye Luo, the one-knife goal is in! Very relaxed!! β
"Yelo. Squeeze out of Silva and volley straight away! GOOOOOOAL!!!β
'Isco's cross went high and the ball came to the back post again!! Neither Silva nor Zambrotta could stop him, a beautiful header!! The ball is in! The ball is in!! β
England, Manchester, inside the office building of Manchester City FC.
The TV shows highlights from the match between AC Milan and Malaga.
Manchester City's general manager Hosni Mubarak and the team's head coach Roberto Mancini both sat a little stiffly.
And these two No. 1 and No. 2 figures of Manchester City Club, who are quite famous in English football now, are so restrained.
There are only big owners of Manchester City FC.
Mr. Mansour with a piece of cloth on his head.
Mansour obviously doesn't look very cool.
He invested a lot of money in Manchester City.
But so far, the team hasn't even been able to win any weighty titles.
It's simply irritating.
No, after Manchester City was eliminated from the Champions League, Mansour fired at Mubarak.
But Mubarak was quick to tell his boss.
If you can bring someone to Manchester City, then Manchester City will not only win the Premier League, but also win the Champions League!!
"Are you talking about Messi or Ronaldo? If these two people are willing to come, do you still need you to say? β
"Boss, I'm talking about Ye Luo."
Mubarak boasted to Mansour on the phone.
Well, it's not a boast.
Just list the data of Ye Luo.
Mansour was really interested, and called Mancini up.
Mancini originally thought that when the boss came to Manchester City, he must have come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
The team failed to make a breakthrough in the Champions League for two consecutive seasons and went straight out of the group.
With such a luxurious lineup, and it also played smoothly in the Premier League, how could it not be played in the Champions League.
It's really an evil door.
The media in England are ridiculing Manchester City for their lack of "Champions League heritage".
But Mancini knows that if this stuff is useful, AC Milan can still be beaten 0-5 by Malaga?
Come and think about it.
Mancini eventually came up with a reason to deal with the boss's guilt: Manchester City lacked leaders, lacked leaders on the pitch, and their players were lured in the transfer market with high salaries.
Although it is a bit too much to say that some media ridicule Manchester City players as "mercenaries".
But at this time, the stars who can accept the invitation of a "small club" like Manchester City are indeed coming for Manchester City's money.
After all, Manchester City haven't got anything yet.
What else could it be if it wasn't for money?
Therefore, the team's poor performance in competitions such as the Champions League may be directly due to the motivation of the players - and the solution to this problem is probably to have a leader type of player who can convince the stars of Manchester City.
However, this type of player is hard to come by in the transfer market.
Mancini prepared for a long time, but the boss didn't ask anything.
Rather, after watching Yelo's goal highlights against AC Milan.
Mansour looked at Mancini and asked: "If he were our player, would you be able to lead the team to the Champions League?" β
Mancini was stunned.
Getting the Champions League, where is it so easy
"If we have Yelo, then we are the most competitive team in the Premier League, there is no problem in winning the Premier League, as for the Champions League, if you want to win the Champions League, you need more factors, I dare not say 100% can win the Champions League, but Manchester City with Yelo is definitely the favorite to win the Champions League."
Mancini was a bit of an understatement.
After all, the league is not the same as the Champions League.
After qualifying from the group, entering the round of 16 is the format of the knockout round.
The knockout rounds are too fortuitous.
No matter how strong the strength is, there is also the possibility of capsizing in the gutter.
Mansour stared at the screen, brushing aside the banana and pointing at Yelo in the stands.
"Has there ever been a player like that?"
He asked, curious.
Mancini and Mubarak looked at each other.
"There have been incidents where Manchester United captain Eric Cantona kicked fans." Mancini said.
"Are you saying he's the same type of player as Eric Cantona?" Mansour had an interested look on his face.
Manchester United began a revival in the Premier League era.
In fact, after Alex Ferguson took over Manchester United, he failed to lead the Reds to a breakthrough for two or three seasons in a row.
There was even a risk of being sacked, and if it hadn't been for a timely FA Cup, Ferguson might have been out of action in the 1989-1990 season before the Premier League era.
And in the first year of the Premier League, Eric. Cantona moves to Manchester United.
This was the beginning of Cantona's legend at Manchester United.
If there is a selection of the "greatest captain of the Premier League era", Eric Cantona, who leads Manchester United's class of 92, is certainly a strong contender.
Mancini paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Every player's personality is different, but obviously. Yelo has the potential to be a great leader on the pitch. β
Mansour nodded.
"Can he really compare to Messi and Ronaldo?"
"At least not worse than them, and he's only eighteen, boss." Mancini said.
"Eighteen," Mansour nodded, then looked at Mubarak.
"What's so hard about bringing him in?"
"The will of the player himself." Mubarak told the truth.
"Tell his agent that we're willing to pay a sum of money. An unprecedented super contract! β
Boiling public opinion is spreading in Europe and around the world.
For MΓ‘laga though.
They have to deal with the next league game next.
In the twelfth round of the league, Malaga challenged the yellow submarine Villarreal away.
It's not a good game.
As a result, Manuel Pellegrini did not rotate for this game either.
Villarreal were squeezed out of Malaga last season and played very aggressively and toughly against Malaga at their home Stadio de la Love Song.
In the end, Malaga was almost beaten to a draw by Villarreal.
In the 80th minute of the game, Villarreal broke the deadlock and took a 1-0 lead.
Just when the atmosphere at the Love Song Stadium was at its hottest.
It was Yelo who stepped up and saved the team.
He broke down the middle with the ball.
With the [Rampage] and [Small Tank] traits.
Ye Luo's breakthrough was even sharper.
Villarreal's players wanted to foul, but they couldn't pull Yelo back.
At the time of the final shot, two Villarreal defenders were almost hanging on Yelo, one holding his waist and the other pulling his arm.
But it still didn't stop Ye Luo's shot.
He raised his foot in the penalty area and fired a long-range shot, and the ball was blasted into the goal like a cannonball.
It was a goal that shook Villarreal's players.
This kind of conceding a goal is too much of a blow to morale.
The result was before the end of the game.
Malaga scored from a corner kick by central defender Demichelis, who had returned from injury, to complete the stunner!
MΓ‘laga continues to remain at the top of the standings.
After this game, return to their home stadium, in the thirteenth round of the league, Malaga hosts Racing Santander.
Face opponents in the relegation zone.
Malaga played with ease.
Yelo scored a first-half pass to give his team a two-goal lead.
He then played 10 minutes in the second half before being substituted.
After all.
The team will be preparing for the final round of the Champions League group stage in midweek, with Malaga hosting Bayern Munich in a crucial match.
The result of this game will directly determine the first and second place in the group - whether it is Malaga or Bayern Munich, they want to be at the top of the group so that they have a better chance of drawing a good draw.
And Malaga after winning this game.
FIFA and France Football have announced the 23-man shortlist for the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or.
This is the second year since the merger of the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year.
Last year's controversy has put this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or in the spotlight β after all, last year many thought Sneijder, the duo of Inter Milan and the Dutch national team, was the most likely winner.
But in the end, the first FIFA Ballon d'Or winner after the merger of the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year was Messi.
This made many people cry out for Sneijder.
After all, from honor.
Sneijder won the treble with Inter Milan and was runners-up with the Netherlands at the World Cup.
Sneijder himself is an important player in both Inter Milan and the Netherlands, and can even be called the attacking core of the midfield.
Therefore.
Sneijder's failure to win the award has made the FIFA Ballon d'Or a much criticised and controversial game throughout last year β a problem that many believe is due to the FIFA Ballon d'Or's selection mechanism.
Before the merger of the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year.
The voting rules for the Ballon d'Or, set by France Football, are voted for by professional football journalists and media professionals from 176 countries around the world.
The FIFA World Footballer of the Year award is voted for by the managers and captains of teams from more than 200 countries around the world.
So, before the two merged.
The authority of the "European Ballon d'Or" is higher than that of the "World Footballer of the Year".
Because the former selectors have more data, resources, and information.
The latter is judged by the managers and captains of more than 200 national teams around the world, more than half of whom are amateur teams
It can well be imagined.
How authoritative is the vote of the managers and captains of the national teams who play almost part-time?
After all.
The weight of the votes of the coach and captain of the Dragon National Team is the same as that of the coach and captain of the world champion Spanish national team.
And even so.
The Dragon Country national team can still rank around 80 in the world.
In other words, what is even more terrifying is that there are about 120 national team coaches and captains around the world who are ranked lower than the Dragon National Team also participate in the vote
In this case, the World Footballer of the Year is mainly judged by the player's fame β the more fame he has, the better his chances of being elected.
Therefore.
Historically.
The authority of the world footballer of the year has not been able to catch up with the European Ballon d'Or.
After all, the reporters of those authoritative media will more or less comprehensively consider the performance of this year's players, data and so on.
The latest selection rules for the combined FIFA Ballon d'Or are: 208 national team managers, 208 national team captains, and 208 global media, each accounting for 1/3 of the share.
The first selection after the merger in 2010 caused an uproar. In terms of media votes that year, Sneijder ranked first and Iniesta ranked second, and the two were far ahead of Messi in terms of votes.
In the vote of coaches and captains of the eight major football powers of Brazil, England, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain, Messi scored only 26 points, lower than Iniesta's 28 and Xavi's 36.
But Messi won the award in the end, which needs to thank the coaches of the national teams of Albania, Angola, the Bahamas, Belize, the Virgin Islands, the Cook Islands and other national teams to vote for him, and at the same time, we must also thank the captains of the national teams of Bermuda, Cape Verde, Comoros, Gabon and other national teams for their support......
This shows the problem: most of the votes were cast unprofessionally.
As a result, the candidate's fame and prestige are even more important than the competitive performance of the year.
Therefore, media publicity can fundamentally affect the final outcome of the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
This leads to another problem: the Ballon d'Or has evolved into a wrestling affair between the big clubs using their media clout.
It's time for the Golden Globe Awards.
You can see that the media of the Real Madrid department is breaking Messi's black material.
You can also see the Catalan media hyping Ronaldo's.
As soon as this year's shortlist is out.
Various media outlets have begun to turn over last year's old accounts again.
However, the media of the Dragon Kingdom were quite happy, and the fans of the Dragon Kingdom cheered.
Because it is among the twenty-three candidates.
Ye Luo's name is impressively listed.
In fact, Ye Luo's selection was not unexpected.
Because even Neymar, who plays for the Brazilian club Santos, was selected.
If the La Liga Golden Boot can't be selected, then the credibility of the FIFA Golden Ball Award will become a joke.
Although it was expected.
But when Ye Luo's name really appeared in the list of twenty-three.
It still makes the entire Dragon Kingdom very excited.
Ye Luo was selected as one of the 23 candidates for the Golden Globe Awards.
This is a major event for the entire Dragon Country, and even for the entire Asian football.
Yelo is the first Asian player to be shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or 23.
All of a sudden, the entire Dragon Kingdom was jubilant.
The fans of the Dragon Kingdom have been raising their eyebrows for a while.
Originally, Dragon Country fans couldn't hold their heads up in front of the two neighbors of Japan and South Korea.
Who makes Dragon Country football weak?
And now.
Ye Luo alone has the ability to overwhelm Japan and South Korea, making all Japanese and South Korean players dwarf in front of Ye Luo.
The media in Japan and South Korea are so envious that their eyes are red.
When reporting, the media of both countries reported from the perspective of "Asian football".
Well.
Good things for Asian players, bad things for Dragon Country players.
Winning hemp belongs to yes.
The entire Dragon Kingdom media was celebrating Ye Luo's selection into the list.
The name Ye Luo has once again become a popular spot in the entire Dragon Kingdom.
He is now at the top of the entire Dragon Kingdom sports circle.
Twenty-three people were selected for the Golden Globe Awards.
In the eyes of the media in the Dragon Kingdom.
This is equivalent to Yelo getting an official seal confirmation that he is a world-class player.
This is also the Dragon Country Media, which is naturally not confident in the outside world.
Ye Luo has performed so well.
Still need a white skin to confirm? It's really unproductive.
But that's the state of the media world.
The twenty-three list did not get as much attention as the Dragon Kingdom in Europe, and it was not the final three-person shortlist.
It's still early to select the Golden Globe winners.
Malaga is also preparing for the final round of the Champions League.
They sit at home and only need a draw to secure top spot in their group.
Therefore, Malaga is not in much of a hurry.
It should be Bayern Munich who is in a hurry.
