Chapter 878: Waves of Doubts

The annual Golden Globe Awards attracts the attention of fans around the world.

Every fan has his or her own selection criteria, and it is impossible for any star to convince everyone to win the Golden Globe Award.

Gao Xiaodong won the Golden Globe Award, and the Chinese people undoubtedly applauded it, thinking that this was a well-deserved award, and it must be Gao Xiaodong.

But the Spaniards believe that Gao Xiaodong is not worthy of the Ballon d'Or. Gao Xiaodong's award is tricky. The World Cup championship is the highest achievement of a player. Even the World Cup champion cannot win the Golden Ball. What is the significance of this Golden Ball.

As Gao Xiaodong's competitor for the Golden Globe Award, Xavi, the dual core of Barcelona and Spain, was a little angry after the award. This was the 31-year-old midfield master's last chance to win.

Harvey admitted that Gao Xiaodong was excellent, but he believed that he deserved the Ballon d'Or. The reason why Gao Xiaodong had the last laugh was mainly because the current public opinion propaganda was too strong. Many voters did not watch football at all, but only looked at popularity. And fame just voted.

Harvey said: "The way the selection is done is unfair, it is based on the same proportion of votes in Senegal, Fiji and France, England and Germany, and obviously not every place has the same information. Of course, this It can only be said relatively. The other day I read a report about a high-level player who failed to win the Ballon d'Or, and it turned out that Baresi had never won the Ballon d'Or! I was very disappointed, and I felt that the world's fans had not recognized me. They believe that the player who scores more goals is the best player."

Iniesta, another competitor of Gao Xiaodong, also said that it is unfair to select only one player for the Ballon d'Or. A more reasonable approach is to select one player for each position. He said: "In collective sports, individual awards are always unfair. There must be an award for each position. The Ballon d'Or is always awarded to those who score goals, those forwards. In fact, football games are not only The goal and the steps before the goal are equally important. The role of a player like Xavi is not given due appreciation for his efforts."

Iniesta and Xavi's teammate, Casillas, who won the 2010 Best Goalkeeper of the Year, had a lot to say about Gao Xiaodong's award. There was even a little disdain in his words, "This The result was disappointing for all Spaniards, no doubt about it. I thought after we won the World Cup, Xavi or Iniesta would win the Ballon d'Or. It didn't matter who won between them because they both did it. Very outstanding, and it is obvious to all. But the final result was Gao Xiaodong, which surprised me. In my opinion, it is illogical that Sneijder did not enter the top three. He won the Triple Crown in Inter Milan, and Leading the Netherlands to the final at the World Cup in South Africa. But none of that was decided by me."

After Gao Xiaodong won the award, the website of "Marca" published the headline "Gao Xiaodong cost Spain the Ballon d'Or".

The largest daily newspaper "National News" said: "Gao Xiaodong's winning of the award is shocking.

Iniesta and Xavi deserve the award. "

The Spaniards are not the only ones who think Gao Xiaodong is not worthy of the Ballon d'Or. Messi also stood up to express his grievances for his club teammates. He said: "I think the World Cup championship is the highest honor. Xavi and Iniesta won the World Cup but could not win the Ballon d'Or. This makes me feel incredible. "

Although Ronaldo doesn't like Gao Xiaodong winning the award, he cannot support his club rivals Xavi and Iniesta. He creatively said that his teammate Casillas also has the ability to win the Ballon d'Or.

"Casillas is also playing on the pitch, and he is just as important as other players in other positions. Spain won the world championship trophy, and Casillas took the lion's share of the credit because he made many key saves, especially against Paraguay. The team’s penalty kick and Robben’s one-on-one goal in the final. I don’t know how FIFA selects the best players. But if a goalkeeper can win the award, I will be very happy.”

Except for Italy and England, the European media all questioned Gao Xiaodong's award.

A reporter from "France Football" said, "The selection of the Ballon d'Or is already full of politics and business. Gao Xiaodong is younger, more popular, and from China. His election will help FIFA develop the Asian market. Of course, It is more appropriate than Xavi and Iniesta to be elected, in fact, it is Xavi who should be elected."

Germany's "Bild" believes that Gao Xiaodong's winning of the Ballon d'Or is due to the advent of an era of fame and success. Players like Xavi and Iniesta will hardly be favored by the Ballon d'Or again. Even if Beckenbauer is reborn, it is estimated that the Golden Globe will win. You may not be able to get into the top three for the ball award.

The Dutch media lamented for Sneijder. They believed that if according to the old rules, the World Cup champion won the Ballon d'Or, Sneijder would not have anything to say. But since Gao Xiaodong can win, why can't Sneijder even enter the top three? go. This is obviously unfair and there is obviously something behind it.

The Portuguese media believes that the winner of the competition in a competition year will naturally receive the Ballon d'Or. In non-competition years, the winner of the Champions League will receive the Ballon d'Or. If this selection criteria is messed up, then there will be no criteria for the selection and it will just be nonsense.

Since Gao Xiaodong won the award because he led Inter Milan to win the Triple Crown, the Italian media was relatively fair and believed that Gao Xiaodong's personal performance was more outstanding. As a midfielder, he won the league's top scorer and the Champions League top scorer, as well as the honor of the Triple Crown. , fully worthy of the Ballon d'Or, but Xavi and Iniesta also deserved the Ballon d'Or. Gao Xiaodong finally won the award, which only shows that the fans' preferences are different, and Xavi and Iniesta are not lucky enough.

Among the major European media, only the English media supports Gao Xiaodong. The Times believes that Gao Xiaodong's award may be controversial, but Xavi and Iniesta's awards will also be controversial, so it can only be said that the fans chose Gao Xiaodong.

Europeans and Americans support Xavi and Iniesta and question Gao Xiaodong, while some Asian countries support Gao Xiaodong, while others support Xavi and Iniesta. Only Chinese fans and media fully support Gao Xiaodong's winning.

"Football News" stated that Gao Xiaodong ranks first in Europe in goals and assists. Xavi and Iniesta combined are not as many as Gao Xiaodong. In terms of honors, Gao Xiaodong is the triple winner of the Champions League and Cup. It is the first triple crown in Serie A, which is not much less important than the World Cup. And his personal performance was so explosive that Gao Xiaodong won the Ballon d'Or without any doubt.

"The Weekly" stated that Gao Xiaodong's winning of the "FIFA Ballon d'Or" is the pride of the country. This is one of the greatest moments in Chinese sports. As for the outside world's doubts about Gao Xiaodong, they are ignorant and prejudiced, because he was born in 2010. It starts on January 1st and ends on December 31st. This year does not just refer to the World Cup final on July 11th, so you can understand why Gao Xiaodong won the award.

Fans who criticized Gao Xiaodong and fans who supported Gao Xiaodong also had a fierce keyboard battle on the Internet. Gao Xiaodong's fans believed that Gao Xiaodong's award was real and there was no moisture at all. The doubts from European fans and the media were all jealous. and prejudice.

Fans of Hei Gao Xiaodong believe that Gao Xiaodong is not worthy of the Ballon d'Or. His award is a conspiracy of FIFA and a product of commercialization.

Gao Xiaodong did not respond to the overwhelming doubts from the outside world. This was also a smart move, because Gao Xiaodong could not convince those who questioned him and the media. His best response was to keep scoring goals and winning. Only in this way, doubts His voice will slowly fade away.
