Episode 【369】: The European Golden Globe Awards Makes Waves Again
Leeds United defeated Leyton Orient 2-1.
In this game, both sides actually played well. Leeds United's ability to seize opportunities was stronger, and they won the game.
In fact, the last goal conceded was Leyton Orient's defensive error, which led to the team's loss.
Everyone thought that this goal would be taken by Cristiano Ronaldo, the double favorite of European Footballer of the Year and World Footballer of the Year. Who knew that it would be replaced by Gareth Bale in the end, which led to the loss of the game.
Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo is still the double favorite for European Footballer of the Year and World Footballer of the Year.
It’s very, very close to this year’s European Footballer of the Year award ceremony.
Recently, the outside world has been reporting on the selection of European Footballer of the Year. Now the French "Football Magazine" has announced the list of five people who entered the final selection. Of course, the rankings have not been released yet, but the candidates have already appeared. .
The last five to enter the list are Barcelona's Leo Messi, Barcelona's Xavi, Leeds United's Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid's Luka Modric and Inter Milan's Eto'o.
This is actually a victory for Barcelona and Leeds United!
Because if there is no transfer this summer, Luka Modric will still belong to Leeds United, and Eto'o will still belong to Barcelona. Therefore, if there is no transfer, Barcelona will occupy three seats in the top five, and Leeds United will occupy two seats.
This has become a PK between the two teams.
However, this year, these two teams performed very well. Both teams performed very beautifully and amazingly in the UEFA Champions League. Especially Leeds United, they won the UEFA Champions League. It was very impressive. Awesome.
Therefore, Leeds United players now have a much greater chance of winning this award.
However, Leeds United's only honor is the UEFA Champions League. They have no dominance in the Premier League and have not won any domestic championships. This is their weakness.
Barcelona has won the league and the Copa del Rey in Spain, and is just short of the UEFA Champions League. The competition between the two sides should be very, very fierce.
Now the outside world attaches great importance to this matter!
A lot of media are reporting on this matter. Many media value Barcelona's Leo Messi more. They believe that Leo Messi is the biggest favorite for the European Footballer of the Year because Barcelona's results this year are too great. Well, he swept his opponents in the Spanish national team, and his results in the Champions League were not bad either.
What's more important is that Leo Messi's current personal performance is also very powerful, very awesome. Shouldn't this award belong to Leo Messi?
At this time, many La Liga coaches are supporting Leo Messi, claiming that Leo Messi is the one who should win this award. Leo Messi is really amazing.
Barcelona's teammates also supported Leo Messi. Even Xavi, who was selected for the final five list, also supported Messi when being interviewed by media reporters.
Harvey said: "Me? No, no, no, I think Leo deserves the award more. His performance this year is obvious to all and there is no doubt about it. I think there is no doubt about this. Leo does He is very powerful, this award should belong to him and has nothing to do with me!"
Yes, Xavi is so humble and praises Messi immediately.
Barcelona's head coach Guardiola said this: "Yes, I think Leo should win the award. His performance is really, really amazing. I don't think there is another person on the planet who can match him." His performance was really great and he gave a very, very perfect answer. If I had to choose, I would give it to Leo!"
Of course, Guardiola also said: "Xavi is also very good, and he also has a chance to win this award. What Xavi did is indeed not as eye-catching as Leo, but what I want to say is that Xavi is only important to us at Barcelona." The most important thing is that he is the greatest midfield master in the world, but his statistics are not as bright and eye-catching as Leo, so everyone does not notice him. This is the tragedy of midfielders, not that Xavi is not good enough. !”
Yes, Guardiola seems to be complaining about midfield masters like Xavi!
Now the selection rules for the so-called World Footballer and European Footballer seem to be to see who scores the most goals and who gets the most honors. They have never understood football in depth. In the sport of football, not only Goal.
Guardiola instead believes that a master player like Xavi deserves such an award. It's just that this era is not suitable for them, they are too inconspicuous.
Now all the light is attracted by the peerless duo of Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Everyone only notices the crazy offense and performance of these two, and does not even notice the support behind them. The midfield maestro of the entire team.
For example, Barcelona's Xavi, Iniesta and Leeds United's Luka Modric and others.
Guardiola believes this is unfair to the likes of Xavi, Iniesta and Luka Modric. Look, Eto'o has entered the top five, but Iniesta has not. This is because Eto'o has scored more goals!
However, at this time, Guardiola feels that he is very happy whether Leo Messi wins or Xavi wins. Of course, in his heart, he still hopes that Harvey will win the award, but unfortunately this is almost a dream.
Guardiola expressed his wishes. He just hopes that the Barcelona people will win the award, and he has no mention of Leeds United at all. Yes, this is selfish!
At this time, there are also many, many people in the outside world who support Guardiola and Barcelona. They feel that Guardiola is right. Leo Messi just needs to be stronger, but he needs to leave much more.
There are also more reports from outside about Leo Messi winning the award.
However, more people in England support Cristiano Ronaldo.
Many Premier League managers publicly supported Cristiano Ronaldo in interviews. They believed that Cristiano Ronaldo should win the award.
Arsene Wenger said this: "If I had to choose, I would choose Cristiano Ronaldo!"
Just one sentence!
Yes, Arsene Wenger is so straightforward, he can finish it off with just one sentence.
Alex Ferguson said this in an interview: "Of course I would choose Cristiano. His ability is very amazing, and more importantly, his performance is even more amazing. In Leeds United he He burst out with strong strength. He is really powerful. I think this is Cristiano's era and it belongs to him. As expected, people named Ronaldo are all powerful people."
It can be seen that Alex Ferguson really hopes that Cristiano Ronaldo can win this award.
Benitez was also interviewed. He said: "Obviously this should be given to Cristiano Ronaldo, because they won the UEFA Champions League and Barcelona did not. This is a flaw, Barcelona's fatal flaw!"
Benitez also said: "This year, Cristiano Ronaldo's performance is also very good. I have no reason not to choose him. He is really great. Of course, if I can, I will too." I want to choose Steven Gerrard, his performance is equally great, but it is a pity that he has not caught the eyes of some people, I still support Gerrard!"
Well, Benitez is still very unconvinced. He thinks that the absence of Gerrard in the top five means there is a shady story and that some people are blind.
Many reporters in England support Cristiano Ronaldo, and they all say so as if it was agreed upon.
Nowadays, football people in Spain seem to support Leo Messi, and football people in England support Cristiano Ronaldo. It seems that they are really evenly matched.
Perhaps this year will be the most recent one in terms of votes, but at this time everyone is not sure, who can win this European Footballer award?
Because judging from the current situation, it seems that both of them have a chance of winning the award.
It's very possible that one person's votes can determine this year's European Footballer of the Year.
Now many media reporters are helping these two people to canvass votes crazily. This matter is very noisy.
Naturally, Zhong Cheng did not hide away and accepted interviews from media reporters.
Zhong Cheng said directly: "Does it need to be said? This year's European Footballer of the Year must belong to Chris, and he will definitely win the double championship. There should be no suspense. Our Chris performed better, and we won When it comes to winning the Champions League, isn't that enough?"
Hearing what Zhong Cheng said, the media reporters were really speechless to refute.
Zhong Cheng also said: "Is Chris's current personal data worse than that of Leo Messi? Obviously not, why does Leo Messi have any reason to win the award? If he wins the highest award in the European League, No one can win the title of European Footballer of the Year. How can you deserve the title of European Footballer of the Year?"
Some Spanish media reporters were said to be very embarrassed. As Zhong Cheng said, it was indeed a bit embarrassing for Leo Messi to win this award!
After all, Leo Messi does not have excellent honors to support him.
Zhong Cheng finally said: "So, I think Chris is the most suitable to win this award. There is no one more suitable than him. I believe that everyone will be very fair and just, so I don't need to say more about this." What?"
The local reporters in England naturally applauded like thunder. They also believed that this award should belong to Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo has the highest honor of protecting his body. If he can't win the award, I'm afraid he won't. It’s shady!
Therefore, compared with Cristiano Ronaldo, Leo Messi just lacks honor.
Now many media are reporting this, and gradually the direction of the wind is shifting towards Cristiano Ronaldo. Now in the public opinion, Cristiano Ronaldo's support rate is higher. Now we are waiting for this award ceremony The competition has begun, let’s see who can win the prize?
