October 20th is a day that fans and media around the world are paying close attention to.

Because, on this day, FIFA announced the final list of twenty-three people for this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or!

As early as the beginning of the month, as the only media in Spain with voting rights for the Ballon d'Or, "Le Monde Sports" exposed the initial list of 59 candidates for the Ballon d'Or.

The list of 23 people is the final shortlist after voting for the head coaches, captains and media reporters of various countries.

In the big list, the three European giants Huang Saren became the biggest winner.

In particular, Barcelona's dominant performance in the league, Champions League, and Copa del Rey last season allowed them to win the treble again since 2008~09!

Thanks to their outstanding team record and championship honors, as many as six Barcelona players have been selected for the final Ballon d'Or squad.

They are the South American trident "MSN" Messi, Suarez, Neymar, as well as Iniesta, Mascherano, and Rakitic.

Real Madrid, second only to Barcelona, has four people selected, namely the "BBC" combination of Ronaldo, Bale, Benzema and J Ronaldo.

Bayern also had four selections, namely Neuer, Muller, Lewandowski, and Robben.

Manchester City was selected by Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure.

In addition, Wolfsburg/Manchester City's De Bruyne, Chelsea's Eden Hazard, Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez, and Paris Saint-Germain's Ibrahimovic were also selected.

It is worth mentioning that in this squad, the biggest controversy is that Juventus, the "old woman" who won four consecutive Serie A championships and reached the Champions League final, only Pogba and Vidal were selected!

You must know that among the 59 candidates in the primary selection, Juventus has as many as six selected.

But as the Serie A champions and Champions League runners-up, only two of them were selected for the final list?

In contrast, Real Madrid, which had all four of them last season, had four people selected for the final list!

This also made many Serie A fans and Italians very dissatisfied, and they questioned the voting mechanism of FIFA.

However, this is also a cliché.

Since 2008, the Golden Globes have become a two-man turnaround.

In addition, in the past few years, the general environment of Serie A has declined, and the stars have fled.

Even if it dominates Serie A and reaches the Champions League final, Juventus's fame is not as good as that of Huang Sajen.

Coaches and captains of national teams, as well as journalists, naturally vote for players they are familiar with when they vote.

As one of the most famous clubs in the world, there is no doubt about the fame and influence of Huang Saren in world football.

In particular, the Spanish national derby, which attracts more than 100 million viewers every year, has extended the influence of La Liga to the world.

It is worth mentioning that in this squad, there is a star of a small team, who is impressively listed.

That is the Blue Fox Emperor Star Lingfeng, who rose at the speed of a rocket, was born in the World Cup in Brazil, and quickly became famous in Europe!

This is the first time in his career that he has been nominated for a Golden Globe, and he is also the youngest nominee in the Golden Globe squad!

Regarding Ling Feng's selection, the public said that it was very reasonable.

After all, Leicester City were undisputed after finishing in the top six of the Premier League and the quarter-finals of the Europa League last season.

Although the team's record and collective honor are far inferior to those of other league giants.

But considering the strength and positioning of the team's lineup, it is already commendable.

Leading the promoted polo team to a performance that far exceeds expectations is definitely a big plus.

Moreover, his personal performance is also extremely explosive.

Forty-three appearances in all competitions, contributing 20 goals and 30 assists!

He has scored 50 goals alone, and his goal efficiency is second only to the peerless double pride!

Although he didn't win a championship.

But in terms of personal honors, he won the Premier League's best newcomer, Premier League assist king, England FWA Footballer of the Year, Europe's top five leagues assist king and other honors, and also broke the Premier League single-season assist record held by Henry.

It can be said that in the past season, Ling Feng went from being the best newcomer in the World Cup and a rookie in the Premier League to completing a huge leap from the British Empire star and one of the best in the Premier League!

And this season's Ling Feng, in the face of the changes in the new coach's new tactics, is still playing against the sky.

Seven league appearances, contributing five goals and ten assists!

Two goals per game!

Ling Feng's selection immediately caused widespread heated discussions in English football and reports from large and small media!

Leicester City's official website issued an announcement as soon as possible to congratulate Ling Feng.

Blue Fox fans have posted various photos of Ling Feng on social media to congratulate him

And the major media newspapers also took the news of Ling Feng's shortlisting for the Golden Ball Award as the headline of the sports page.

For a time, Ling Feng was shortlisted for the Golden Ball Award, which became a grand event in British football!

You must know that the nomination for the Ballon d'Or is not only a recognition of the individual player, but also a recognition of English football.

This is the first time in three years since Wayne Rooney in 2012 that an English player has been selected for the final Ballon d'Or squad!

This is of great significance to English football, which has always held itself in high esteem.

After the golden generation such as David Beckham, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney gradually retired from the stage, they finally produced an excellent player who can be nominated for the Ballon d'Or!

Many players in the same age group have not yet established themselves in the Premier League and have been given consistent playing time.

Ling Feng has already begun to compete for the best in the Premier League, and has even been shortlisted for the Golden Ball.

In a sense, the nomination for the first Ballon d'Or award allowed Ling Feng to completely establish himself as the first player of the new generation in England!

Kane, Raheem Sterling, Barkley, Ali, all give me a little bit back.

Great British Emperor Star, I only recognize Ling Feng!

With the release of the Golden Globe Award list, some media have also ranked the value of these 23 nominees.

Ling Feng's value, like Muller, is 75 million euros.

is second only to the peerless duo who are both worth 120 million euros, and the eight million euros of the same grade of the four stars of Bale, Suarez, J Ronaldo and Neymar!

And below him, there are 70 million Lewandowski and Hazard, 60 million Aguero and De Bruyne, 55 million Sanchez and Pogba and other top stars

Of course, worth is only a reference to market value.

It doesn't mean that Ling Feng is stronger than other players, or more famous.

The reason why Ling Feng's value is so high and can be compared with a top star like Muller, who has been famous for a long time, is that on the one hand, it is the "bonus" of England's household register, the media's praise and momentum; On the other hand, there is his age and potential.

Worth is not fixed, but changes according to the direction of your career.

It's like the thirty-four-year-old Ibrahimovic, who is worth only fifteen million euros.

However, at his peak, he was worth as much as 46 million euros!

Moreover, with the change of times, the value figure has also been inflated, just like the transfer fee.

If Ibrahimovic is not thirty-four years old now, but twenty-eight years old at his peak, then his worth is definitely more than 70 million euros!

And the market is priceless!

Therefore, of Ling Feng's worth of 75 million euros, perhaps 30 million is based on his age and potential, household registration and other factors.

Of course, if you really want to buy Ling Feng, who was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award at the age of 20, 75 million euros will definitely not work.

After all, two months ago, Kevin De Bruyne joined Manchester City for a whopping €74 million.

Ling Feng, who has the same strength, but is younger and has greater potential, will only have a higher market value.

You must know that whoever can win Ling Feng is equivalent to winning the core of the Three Lions midfield in the next ten years, as well as the cornerstone of the team's building in the next ten years!

There are even many media who believe that Ling Feng is even better than Neymar, who was known as the "successor of Pele" at that time.

After all, Neymar at that time was only killing indiscriminately in Brazil, and he had not proven himself in the five major leagues at all.

And Ling Feng, who is of the same age, has already led the Blue Foxes, a team that is not strong in the Premier League, under the high-intensity confrontation and rhythm of the Premier League, to fight with many heroes without falling behind!

It's obvious which is higher and which is lower.

Of course, after coming to Barcelona, Neymar has grown rapidly beside Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and other historical stars, and has now become the leader of the Samba Army and the absolute main force of Barcelona.

However, in terms of personal strength alone, the current Ling Feng is not inferior to the current Neymar at all.

In terms of speed, passing, and long-range shooting, Ling Feng is even more skilled!

Perhaps, the gap between Ling Feng and Neymar is not in their own strength, but in the platform and teammates.

。。。

And learning that he was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award also made Ling Feng tweet for the first time to express his excitement:

"Finalist for the Golden Globe Awards! That's so cool! ”

The 23-member Ballon d'Or squad is equivalent to the 23 best players in world football that year.

And being in it, how can people not be excited and excited?!

In the past two years, he has sweated and grown step by step from a small youth team to a current Ballon d'Or nominee.

It turns out that the effort pays off!

However, this excitement and excitement only lasted for a short time before gradually receding in his heart.

Ling Feng knows very well that being selected for the final list of the Golden Globe Awards is already the greatest recognition of himself by professionals in the industry.

But he can't rest on his laurels.

His goal has never been to be more than just a Ballon d'Or squad.

It's the golden football!

However, this time he was shortlisted, but it allowed him to complete the achievement of [being selected for the Golden Globe Award list].

And this time, the reward of the system is not free attribute points, but the long-lost [Skill Chest]

So, after replying to the congratulatory text messages from friends and relatives one by one, he summoned the [Character Panel] with anticipation and opened the [Inventory]

He didn't open it immediately, but first observed the light of the chest.

Compared with the last time it opened an S-level skill chest, the light emitted by this skill chest is not too dazzling.

According to his speculation, this skill chest can at most be able to open B-level or A-level skills.

Guess what?

Don't you know it out of the box!

【Ding Dong!】 】

[Congratulations to the player, you have obtained the B-level skill - a dashing stop!] 】

[Skill Name: Chic Stop]

【Skill Level: B】

[Skill Effect: The ability to stop the ball has been greatly improved!] 】

[Skill representative player: Berbatov]

Seeing this skill, Ling Feng's eyes suddenly widened, and his face showed joy:

It's actually a dashing brother's stopping skills?!

Berbatov, known as "Brother Chic", is an elegant striker killer.

It is said that after a game was played, Berbatov did not sweat a single drop.

Whether it's shooting or stopping the ball, his movements are so chic and elegant.

Hence the name - chic brother!

Stopping the ball, as one of the most important basic skills of a professional player, is often a detail that distinguishes top players from ordinary players.

Often on the court, the first touch of the ball is the stop of the ball every time a player handles it.

And with the chic brother's stopping skills, then he can be completely comparable to the "world stop" Mahrez in the Blue Foxes in terms of stopping skills.

The better you stop the ball, the more time you have to deal with it, and the more you can make the right decisions.

This is definitely an improvement for Ling Feng!

Being shortlisted for the Golden Globe Awards is just a small episode for Ling Feng, who is unlikely to win the award.

Only by continuing to perform well in the Premier League and European competitions can he continue to be included in the Ballon d'Or list, and even win the Golden Ball, which represents the pinnacle of football.

So, what he has to do now is to play every game well and win one win after another with the team!

When the time comes, honor will naturally take the initiative to come to the door.

And when the British media began to praise themselves wildly, Ling Feng and Leicester City ushered in the tenth round of the league at home.

The opponent is Alain Pardu's Crystal Palace.

Pardew, who made the move from Newcastle to Crystal Palace midway through last season, led the team to relegation and the second-highest all-time finish in the league in 10th.

And this season, after buying new signings such as Cabaye, Wickham, and McCarthy, Crystal Palace's strength has increased and it has quickly entered the state.

They have a five-win, four-defeat record in the first nine rounds, including a 2-1 upset win at Chelsea.

Due to the crotch pulling of the major giants, this mid-range team is temporarily ranked sixth in the league.

In this game, the Blue Foxes, who were fighting at home, still adopted the tactics of defensive counterattack.

The second-half defeat at West Ham United in the last home game is still vivid, allowing Crystal Palace to launch an unreserved onslaught as soon as they came up.

However, what they didn't expect was that compared to West Ham United, Leicester City's counterattack was even more deadly!

A quick counter-attack after a break in each half broke through their defence and sent the ball into the back of the net.

The score of the scoreboard was finally fixed at 2-0.

For the Foxes, Crystal Palace are not a formidable opponent and it is not too surprising to win the game.

What they are even more concerned about is that in this game, they finally completed their first clean sheet in the Premier League this season!
