Chapter 597 FIFA Ballon d'Or
Chapter 597 FIFA Ballon d'Or
Wishing only entered the final list of three candidates for the FIFA Ballon d'Or, and it is not certain whether they can win the award.
However, the media are very optimistic about Wishing, and they all think that based on his performance in the past year, it is not too much to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
Especially the Chinese media and fans, they are very excited.Wishing has already won the first best player in Europe in the history of Chinese football. If he can still win the FIFA Ballon d'Or, he will be the first Chinese player to win a Grand Slam.
What concept does this correspond to?
Probably second only to the national football team winning the World Cup...
After all, football has always been a weak sport in China. If I wish to win the prize this time, it can be said to be a historic breakthrough. If it needs to be recorded in history, it should be replaced by a larger family. This is a deed that can be listed on the family tree.
During this period of time, the domestic media has been hyping the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, and the sports channel will broadcast it live. Even if it starts at 1:[-] in the morning, many fans have expressed that they will stay up late to watch the awards ceremony. They want to witness this historic moment with Wishing.
In fact, as early as October when Wishing was included in the 30-man shortlist, the domestic media had hyped it up once. Wishing was the second Chinese male football player to enter the shortlist after Gong Lei.
For this reason, they also interviewed Gong Lei. Gong Lei, who is already a coach and a TV commentator, also praised Wishing, thinking that the selection of Wishing was more valuable than him.
This is not a problem, after all, Gong Lei was nominated by the head coach of the Tahiti national team because of his outstanding performance in the French Tahiti League.
For the entire world of football, whether it is the league or the national team, French Tahiti is a marginal zone.
What is the gold content of this nomination?
Even Huaxia fans don't know that there is such a thing...
Of course, Gong Lei was selected in 1993, and the information was not as developed as it is now. It is normal that few people know about it.
It's different now. Wishing has entered the list of the last three, and belongs to the officially certified top three in the world...
The other two candidates are no strangers to everyone, namely Ronaldo and Messi.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the least competitive. Last season, Real Madrid lost all four players. Although he scored 2015 goals in 57, there is really no chance of winning compared to the 95 goals he made a wish.
Messi is slightly stronger, he won the La Liga championship, the King's Cup championship and the Spanish Super Cup three crowns, but the wish is the six crowns...
Under such circumstances, most of the media believe that wishing can win the award. Although Messi and Ronaldo are also excellent, they should have no chance of winning before making a wish.
But it can't be said so absolutely, because the selection method of the FIFA Ballon d'Or is different from that of the best players in Europe, and there is no on-site voting for the Ballon d'Or.
Before merging with the European Ballon d'Or sponsored by "French Football", the FIFA Ballon d'Or was not voted by professional journalists, but by the head coaches and captains of the [-] members of FIFA. .
The ballots are counted by FIFA, and it is not announced who voted. This means that public relations and black box operations are easier. This kind of thing is not unheard of...
After the merger, professional journalists participated in the voting, but they only accounted for one-third. Otherwise, it would be fine to award the best player in Europe directly according to the wish.
However, what has not changed is that, except for the votes of professional journalists, which are counted by "French Football", the other two types of votes are still counted by FIFA.
A media that voted on behalf of Huaxia Media has announced that they voted for Wishing, "There is no doubt that Wishing is our first choice, and I think Hazard and Salah's performance is also worthy of the Golden Globe Award. "
This is talking nonsense with open eyes, but the meaning of this media is obvious. He did this to ensure that all the points will be counted on the wish.
Because there are three choices on each ballot, the first choice is five points, the second choice is three points, and the third choice is one point. Obviously he doesn't want to give Ronaldo and Messi a single point.
This kind of operation is actually quite common, and many people with tendencies will vote in this way.
Zheng Zhi, the captain of the national football team, also released his votes. His first choice was naturally to make a wish, but his second choice was Ronaldo, and his third choice was Messi.
After all, he is a public figure, so he has to be wary of the attacking power of his fans...
When walking the red carpet, even Messi and Ronaldo themselves felt that their chances of winning the award were slim.
The two of them looked serious, and just waved at the fans, then left in a hurry and entered the venue.They don't want to come to make a wish as green leaves, but facing the invitation of FIFA, they still want to come, otherwise they won't even think about winning prizes in the future...
Making a wish was different. He was very coquettish when he walked the red carpet, grinning with a big mouth and waving to the media and fans on both sides frequently.
It's the attitude of a winner!
Everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with making a wish. This is his character. Some media asked him during an interview, "Are you ready for your acceptance speech?"
Apparently, this media also thought that Wishing would definitely win the prize, and didn't even add the word "if". Wishing laughed and joked with the reporter who interviewed him, "Did you vote for me?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and made a wish with a rare humility, "Everyone has a chance, maybe I still can't get it."
The reporter also laughed along with the wish. He really felt that the wish was a joke. Based on his performance, if he couldn't get it, who would be entitled to it?
Unexpectedly, an hour later, the joke of the wish came true...
Infantino, the new president of FIFA, stood on the stage, holding an envelope in his hand. He slowly opened the envelope and took out a list of winners from it.
Everyone knows that he did this to show that the FIFA Ballon d'Or is a fair and open award, and absolutely no one has tampered with it in advance...
Of course, this is purely a matter of face.Any fool knows that the result has already come out, and Infantino must know who won the award, and he may even modify the result that he is not satisfied with.
Blatter has just stepped down, who doesn't know about FIFA?
But Infantino still smiled, and looked kindly at Wishing, Ronaldo and Messi standing on the stage, then nodded slightly, then turned to face the camera, cleared his throat, and directly announced the result.
"The player who won the 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or is..."
Infantino stopped, leaving enough room for air. This was just a routine way to tantalize people. About five seconds later, Infantino pointed directly at the wish...Messi next to him...
Just like the scene in "The Secret Agent Ling Lingfa", the winner is Ah Fa's father-in-law... "I saw him go to Huixian Yaxu..."
(Which big guy posted the last picture)
"Congratulations to Leo Messi! He won the 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or!"
Infantino frowned, and instead of applause as he expected, the scene fell into silence.
And the expressions on the faces of the three people on the stage are very exciting...
