[Arsenal marches to the Champions League! ] 】

This was the front-page headline of the very pro-Arsenal newspaper in the London area after the game, and to some extent the North London Standard, the mouthpiece of Arsenal.

Although it is said that the position of the newspaper is pro-Arsenal.

But in terms of content, it is actually similar to the content of other English newspapers after the end of this Champions League.

Yelo, who owns Arsenal, is the favourite to win the Champions League this season!

Such an assertion.

It's not just the North London Standard, the mouthpiece of North London's Arsenal newspaper.

Newspapers including The Mirror, Daily Mail, Sky Sports and others all believe that Arsenal have swept away the struggles of the Champions League group stage in the past few seasons, which fully illustrates their overall strength.

And for the Arsenal players and coaches.

Can securing the top spot in the group stage a round early prove that you can challenge for the Champions League title this season?

Before the start of the season, Arsenal certainly didn't think about how we are going to celebrate winning the Champions League this season.

After all, it's unprecedented.

And now Arsenal is also keeping a low profile.

Arsene Wenger didn't want to put too much pressure on his players, telling Sky Sports after the game: "Champions League is certainly something every team dreams of, but we don't want to think about it before the group stage is finished. ”

Indeed, for Arsenal, being able to secure the top spot in the group before the devil's schedule arrives will at least save the team's main players from the pain of going back and forth.

In the final round of the group stage, they can send a substitute team away from home – from England to Greece, which is quite a long way away.

After a 2-0 home win over Montpellier, the team's next game is three days later at Aston Villa.

Aston Villa were a force to be reckoned with in English football for more than a decade before the Premier League era.

Aston Villa was a force to be reckoned with in the early days of English football, having dominated the game more than a hundred years ago.

Aston Villa have won the top flight of English football seven times.

However, except for the 1980/198 championship, the other six championships were all won before the distant 1909, and even except for the 1909/1910 season (Qing Xuantong), the remaining five championships were all won at the end of the 19th century, when it was still the Guangxu year of the Qing Dynasty.

However, in the twentieth century, Aston Villa's dominance gradually faded and they sank for a time, but in the 1980s, Aston Villa briefly reached its peak.

In the 1981/82 season, Aston Villa represented England in the final of the UEFA Champions Club Cup, beating German giants Bayern Munich 1-0 to keep the Champions Cup trophy in England, defending England's six-year reign in the Champions League from 1977 to 1982.

And Aston Villa has also become the fourth English team to win the Champions League after Manchester United, Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.

The team has had a tepid run into the Premier League era, but they are also in the middle of the league, and no team dares to underestimate them at home at Villa Park.

In this game, Arsenal encountered stubborn resistance from Aston Villa away from home.

The game went into a very fierce confrontation with the cheering of the home team's fans.

Mikel Arteta went off injured in a confrontation in the first half and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain came on as a substitute.

Late in the first half, Aston Villa midfielder Agbonlahor fired a long-range shot past the Arsenal goal.

At the end of the first half, the home team Aston Villa led 1-0.

In the second half, Aston Villa fully contracted back and played defensive counter-attacks.

However, in the end, they were unable to withstand Arsenal's frantic comeback in the second half.

Yelo smashed a header past Bullard in the box to help Arsenal find their way to victory.

In the 78th minute of the game, it was Ye Luo who completed a series of passes on the side and then sent a nanny assist to Oxlade-Chamberlain, who was inserted.

The pie was fed to his mouth, and Chamberlain only had to lift his foot slightly to send the ball into the empty net.

One to two!

Arsenal completed the comeback.

After this game.

The Premier League is now in full swing for December.

Arsenal's first two games in December were at home to Fulham on 2 December and away to Swansea on 7 December. Arsenal won one and drew one in those two games, and they were drawn by Swansea in Wales, and the final score was 2-2, which made Arsenal's call for title favorites a lot less.

This will be followed by the final round of the Champions League group stage on December 10.

Arsenal, who travelled to the road entirely as substitutes, youth and reserve players, lost 2-1 away to Olympiacos.

Arsenal lost for the first time in the Champions League this season!

But now the fans are not focusing on this, but on the Ballon d'Or.

With the end of the group stage of the Champions League and Europa League.

UEFA will hold a draw ceremony for the Champions League round of 16 and UEFA round of 32.

Meanwhile.

FIFA will announce the winner of the FIFA Ballon d'Or, which combines the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or in December.

After the merger of the two awards of World Football and the Ballon d'Or.

Messi has won two FIFA Ballon d'Or awards in 2010 and 2011.

Can he achieve a Triple Ballon d'Or?

And Ye Luo, can he win the Golden Globe this year?

These questions, with the arrival of December, have also become hot topics in the media.

Especially with the start of voting for the Golden Globe Awards, there are more news reports about the Golden Globes on the pages of the media in various countries.

The media in Dragon Country is undoubtedly quite excited, in the past, the Golden Ball Award selection had little to do with Dragon Country football, everyone was watching the excitement.

But this year is different.

Ye Luo is now the biggest favorite for this year's Golden Globes.

Therefore, when there were still more than ten days left in the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the media of Dragon Kingdom began to remind fans of various knowledge points about the Golden Globe Awards on the page every day.

The Dragon Country National Television also went down in person to build momentum for Ye Luo.

Videos of Yelo's various performances last season frequently appeared on the TV screen of the national television sports channel, and the sports channel began to build momentum for the live broadcast of the Ballon d'Or ceremony 20 days in advance.

Predictable.

This year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony is sure to hit a new high in the ratings of Dragon Country.

The hype of the domestic media in the Dragon Kingdom is basically self-congratulatory.

Because this will not affect the selection results of the FIFA Golden Ball Awards - because in terms of media influence, let alone the football media of the Dragon Country, even if the media of the entire Dragon Country is tied together, it is not enough to see in the world.

The elder once said.

Nine times out of ten, media workers in the propaganda department are wine bags and rice bags.

What can you do?

Now there are students and even professors of journalism and communication in China.

Don't expect them to sit up right and do a good job of propaganda.

They themselves are a group of repeaters of Western public opinion machines in China that have been washed of the cerebral cortex as smooth as a drop of water by other larger communication agencies.

So the real public opinion propaganda offensive.

It's still up to Yelo himself – mostly by Mendes and his agency's PR department.

Mendes certainly has a very wide network of contacts in Europe.

Otherwise he would not have been able to become one of the most successful brokers in Europe.

Under his operation.

During this time, major European media also frequently reported on Yelo's various achievements last season.

Don't think that such propaganda is useless.

After the merger of the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or, "fame" is obviously an important part of the influencing factors for whether or not they can be elected.

In accordance with the selection rules of the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

In addition to the votes from more than 100 authoritative sports media around the world - among the relatively professional votes, the votes of these more than 100 authoritative sports media accounted for only one-third of all votes!

Two-thirds of the other votes.

It is the vote of the captain and head coach of each country's national team.

The vast majority of these votes are hard to guarantee that they are voted for from a professional point of view.

There are many factors that influence the voting tendencies of the captains and managers of the national teams, but the most important of them is fame!

Because there are more than 200 national teams in the world, and there are more than 100 national teams ranked lower than the Dragon National Team - how professional can you expect the captains and managers of the national team to be lower than the Dragon National Team in the international rankings?

Among them, national teams such as Guam, Bhutan, and Maldives are simply teams composed of amateur players.

The coach is a physical education teacher, and the players are bricklayers, crew members, cooks. Playing football is just part-time.

Their voting choices may be similar to those of the fans.

Basically, they all vote for fame.

The votes of the captains and coaches of the national team made up of these amateur players are the same as the votes of World Cup champion Spain captain Casillas and head coach Bosque.

So, in some recent analysis, while Yelo's performance last season was perfect, no other player can be more convincing than Yelo in this year's Ballon d'Or race from a professional point of view.

But the Golden Globes will have a large number of "irrational" votes.

These votes, which take into account a player's fame and ignore the season's performances, may ultimately determine the winner of the Ballon d'Or – which may be the only reason why Messi is likely to win the Ballon d'Or, as Catalan media analysis admits.

Because Messi is more famous than Yelo.

Although Ye Luo has sprung up in the past two seasons, it has attracted the attention of football all over the world.

But in terms of fame time, Messi is still superior, and Messi has more die-hard fans than Ye Luo in other countries except the Dragon Kingdom.

However, Ye Luo also has advantages.

Because he is an Asian player – Asia is the largest continent in the world and has the largest number of national teams, and some of them may vote for Yelo in the interests of Asian football as a whole.

South Korea's and Japan's national team coaches and captains have been asked by the media about the Ballon d'Or vote

But they kept it secret—a sign that they were clearly not prepared to write Yelo's name on the ballot.

This is also normal, after all, the two countries must be envious and jealous of the appearance of a Mr. Golden Globe in the neighbor of the Dragon Kingdom.

But some other small countries may consider the overall interests of Asian football to vote for Yeluo.

However, the specific vote will be a matter for the media to speculate.

Even sometimes the voting information that is spoken in public may not be accurate - the human mind is not transparent, and what can you do if people say one thing and do another.

There are also media who asked the head coach of the Dragon National Team, Camacho, and the captain Zheng Zhi.

Of course, in the Ballon d'Or vote, it is also stipulated that the captain and manager of the national team cannot vote for their own players.

Camacho said in front of the camera: "Of course I want Yelo to win the Ballon d'Or, but I don't have the right to vote for him, so my voting order is Ronaldo, Iniesta, Ribery." ”

Everybody knows.

Camacho's voting order is actually courting Yelo.

Because the only person who is likely to threaten Yelo at this year's Ballon d'Or is Messi.

Camacho did not choose Messi in the first, second, and third order votes.

It's pulling down Messi's score.

In other words, Camacho can't vote for Yelo, but he didn't vote for Messi either!

This was clearly doing Ye Luo a favor.

Zheng Zhi, the captain of the national team, also made his vote public, and his vote is similar to that of the national team coach, but he puts Ribery at the front: Ribery, Ronaldo, Iniesta.

The head coach and captain of the national team have successively courted Ye Luo in the media.

And let the media of the Dragon Kingdom be quite excited!

Many media have speculated that this is an attempt by the national team to improve relations with Ye Luo.

But the media is destined to be in vain.

Because when is the head coach and captain of the Dragon Country national team having the final say?

The media and fans of the Dragon Nation are destined to be happy in vain

But everyone is used to it.

When will the Dragon Football Federation consider the mood of the fans?

Do fan preferences matter to the FA bureaucrats?

For Ye Luo.

He also doesn't care much about the votes of the Dragons national team and the captain, and he doesn't care much about the attitude of the FA.

Anyway, their influence on the selection of the Golden Globes is almost zero.

After the final round of the Champions League group stage.

Yelo received a call from his head of public relations, Ms. Vera.

On the phone, Ms. Vera told Yelo.

The Dragon Football Federation privately contacted Yelo's agent Mendes, hoping to send FA officials to the Ballon d'Or ceremony.

Ye Luo's answer to this was: "Let them stay where they are cool!" ”

Of course, Ye Luo knew that the purpose of the FA people wanting to attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony together was to rub it.

How could Ye Luo give them this opportunity.

Later, the domestic media broke the incident.

There is public opinion that this is the FA stepping down the steps for Ye Luo, but Ye Luo does not give the FA face at all, it is simply not polite.

But in fact, most fans support Yelo's approach.

What can you do, grab the first place.

"Die to the FA!"

Not only did the news not affect Yelo.

On the contrary, the Long National FA suffered a new round of Internet explosion.

Let them hide inside the turtle shell again.

Accompanied by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and the Arsenal club's top management, Yelo flew to Zurich, Switzerland, which is the headquarters of FIFA.

And the reason why Ye Luo came here is, of course, because the top three of this year's Golden Globe Awards have been born.

Rounding out the top three are Messi, Ribery, and Yelo.

All three are accompanied by their respective clubs.

Came to Zurich.

In Zurich, Yelo was treated like never before. From the moment he got off the plane, the cheers of the fans, the attention of the media, the attention of the global media.

These belong to the treatment of superstars, and a lot of them fall on Ye Luo.

By the time he entered the award hall, FIFA helmsman Blatter was already standing near the door.

After seeing Yelo, Blatter's eyes lit up.

"Oh oh oh, welcome to our Mr. Dragon Country Ball King." Blatter greeted him with a smile.

Ye Luo smiled and shook hands with Blatter and hugged him.

Then he was led by the staff to his place.

"Why is he so enthusiastic about me?" Ye Luo asked Ms. Vera beside her a little strangely.

"Isn't that obvious?" Lady Vera shrugged, "You know the conflict between Blatter and Platini, right?" ”

"Oh~~~" Ye Luo suddenly realized.

Blatter wasn't a good guy either, but he and Platini were bitter rivals.

Because on the part of Platini and UEFA, the relationship with FIFA is not very good - the main thing is, of course, the division of interests, which leads to deep contradictions between the two sides.

FIFA and the continental football federations are not strictly subordinate and subordinate relationships, nor is there a subordinate relationship between continental football confederations and national football federations.

There are many entanglements of interests between the two sides.

For example, according to FIFA regulations.

The Football Association must be a non-governmental organization.

But as we all know, the Dragon National Football Team is always going on

But will FIFA and AFC dare to ban Dragon Country football?

They didn't dare.

Because they don't want to offend the big powers

However, FIFA banned the Kuwaiti national team for two years on the grounds that the Kuwait Football Association had a special relationship with Kuwaiti officials

After all, the football industry has gradually reached an era of stock competition.

The possibility of continuing to make the pie bigger certainly exists, but it's hard.

So now everyone is staring at how to divide the cake.

And this is one of them.

Both FIFA and UEFA have eaten the biggest piece of the football industry.

FIFA has the golden sign of the World Cup!

You must know that the benefits of hosting a World Cup are comparable to hosting an Olympic Games.

The direct proceeds of a single World Cup alone are more than $4 billion!

The World Cup is FIFA's money bag, and this piece of cake is completely eaten by FIFA.

And what about the other parts?

With the exception of the World Cup, most of the cake in other parts of the football industry has been cut by UEFA.

There is no way, who makes Europe the center of football, the major leagues, the giants have attracted the attention of fans all over the world.

The world's best athletes aim to play for Europe's top clubs.

Fans all over the world love to watch high-level matches such as the Champions League, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, etc.

Originally, the club competition in South America could be compared to Europe.

However, as Brazil, Argentina and other countries have encountered economic crises one after another, Argentina has regressed from a developed country to a developing country.

The league is chaotic in organization and is financially crushed by major European leagues.

In the past, players like Pele played for Brazilian giants like Santos, even if he didn't go to Europe, it didn't affect him to become the world's most popular football king.

But now, in South America, as long as the slightest demon emerges, it will basically become the prey of European clubs.

For example, Neymar, the successor of Pele, who just transferred from the Brazilian league to Barcelona this season.

A few decades ago, Santos was also a world-class giant, and Barcelona may not be able to kidnap their star from Santos.

But now.

Santos FC only wants Neymar to sell for a good price – as for the idea of keeping Neymar, it is unthinkable

Let Neymar lead Santos to the top of South America and make him a legend of the team?

Stop it.

Is this worth 60 million euros?

Sixty million euros.

How could the Santos club resist the temptation of 60 million euros.

How much is the Copa Libertadores worth?

For the Santos club.

They can just make money now with peace of mind.

After all, the best stars in the world are now in Europe, and even if they want to keep Neymar, they can't keep them.

How is it possible for a player like Neymar to stay in a "small place" like Brazil for a long time.

To attract the best players from all over the world.

This is the strength of UEFA against FIFA.

Sometimes, FIFA also needs to look at UEFA's face.

No way, who makes people have enough chips on hand.

"Blatt is at the door to greet Yelo!"

He Wei, the host of the national TV sports channel, said excitedly.

Being able to be personally greeted by the FIFA president, does this mean that the Ballon d'Or is stable?

He Wei's words gave enough hints to the fans.

The camera quickly showed the three candidates who came to the scene.

Yelo, Messi, Ribery.

The three of them sat in the front row, not far away, but they didn't communicate with each other.

After all, apart from fighting on the court, everyone has no communication in life, and they are not familiar with each other.

The camera rotates between the three, with all three players with smiles on their faces.

In fact, everyone knows that the probability of an accident in the selection result is not very large.

So there's nothing to worry about.

Soon, the award ceremony began.

After all the other awards, it was finally time for the main event.

But the hostess on stage said loudly: "Here is the presentation of the FIFA Joint Ballon d'Or!" ".

Everyone couldn't help but sit upright, and the people in the back row couldn't help but look towards the stands.

Blatter himself came to announce the results.

He held in his hand the results of the votes.

A smile appeared on his face.

He walked up to the stage, and on the podium, the Golden Globe of the Golden Globe Awards had already been held.

Blatter looked at the golden ball, then at the court.

Before the results are officially announced.

Always have to talk nonsense.

"Honestly, it's torture for me to announce the result because it means that when one good player wins the Ballon d'Or, the other two have to be lost, so why can't there be three."

This cold joke ushered in a sparse laughter at the scene.

It didn't work out well.

"Why do you think it's a little red flower in kindergarten?"

Ye Luo slandered.

Blatter saw that the jokes he told didn't work well, so he stopped talking nonsense, and he said directly: "In 2012, the winner of the FIFA Joint Ballon d'Or is"

Whew, blah, kick.

Blatter's pauses are paired with just the right amount of music.

Sure enough, a little bit of suspense was created.

This is a trick that is used in many award ceremonies.

Even garbage awards like the Hundred Flowers Golden Rooster Award are often done like this, and they are still being used up rotten, which shows that this trick is still very effective.

Really.

Everyone looked expectant, stared and ears pricked up, and there was some tension in the award hall.

In front of the TV, many fans who were watching the live broadcast were already clenching their fists, waiting for Blatter to announce the results.

Many anxious fans greeted Blatter's female relatives directly in their hearts.

In anticipation of everyone's eagerness.

Close-ups of the three candidates appeared on television screens.

Ye Luo smiled.

Ribery grinned.

Messi rubbed his hands nervously.

Blatter didn't keep people waiting long, either.

He coughed.

Said.

"It's Ye Luo!"
