Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Every year in January, the protagonists in world football become players and reporters, because during these two months, two awards symbolizing the highest honor in football will be awarded.  One is the European Golden Globe Award and the other is the World Footballer Award. These two awards can be called the Oscars of world football. In the modern football environment, the possibility of a player becoming the best player is very small. The conditions are too high.  It is too harsh. In the century-old history of football, only Pele and Maradona are generally recognized. Therefore, the World Footballer and the European Ballon d'Or have become important symbols for measuring a player.  The European Ballon d'Or awarded in October was founded by "France Football" magazine in 1956 and voted by journalists. Before 1994, the selection of the Ballon d'Or was limited to players with European nationality. In 1995, the selection was relaxed to players with European nationality.  A player who plays for a football club belonging to a member country of UEFA.  This year is the World Cup year. Since the huge influence of the World Cup is unmatched by other events, the Golden Globe Award and World Footballer Award in the World Cup year are basically selected from the World Cup champions of that year.  It was Zidane in 1998 and Ronaldo in 2008. Among this year's 50 candidate lists, players from World Cup champion and runner-up Italy and France account for half of the candidates.  However, this year is still a bit special. This year, I can't find a player whose performance in the World Cup and the club is more convincing. The club's performance is an important indicator of the European Ballon d'Or every year. However, Chen, who performed best in the club this time  Yu and Ronaldinho, one did not participate in the World Cup at all, the other performed at a disaster level in the World Cup, and Cannavaro, who performed brilliantly in the World Cup, played very poorly after returning from the World Cup and transferring to Real Madrid.  Feng went to play in the second division with Juventus and was outside the mainstream. However, superstars such as Zidane and Henry who performed outstandingly in the World Cup have significantly declined in their status in the new season. This is the reason for this Ballon d'Or Award.  The selection has created a big problem. It is difficult for a certain player to win with a huge vote advantage this year.  But this is an advantage for Chen Yu. This is the second time that Chen Yu has been selected for the European Ballon d'Or, competing with Ronaldinho, Henry, Zidane, Buffon, Cannavaro and others.  Compared with Chen Yu, apart from not participating in the World Cup, Chen Yu's biggest disadvantage is that his background and accumulation are a little bit worse. It is very unlikely that he can win the championship simply by relying on his wonderful performance this season. However, these competitors have completely opposite performances in the World Cup and the club.  It also weakened their own advantages and gave Chen Yu many possibilities to win awards.  And judging from the 50-person candidate list this year, the reporters of "France Football" prefer newcomers this year. Among the 50 people, one player was nominated by "France Football" for the first time.  Many names of stars who have been with fans for many years have disappeared. Ronaldo, Beckham, Raul, Carlos, Figo, Maldini, etc. bid farewell to the stage of the Ballon d'Or. Among the winners of the Ballon d'Or in recent years, only  Ronaldinho and Shevchenko are left.  This year's shortlist only has players that "intersect" with last year's.  Of course, there is only one European Ballon d'Or, and the 50-man roster is just an affirmation of the players' performance. In the end, only Mr. Ballon d'Or will be remembered by history. The biggest favorite this year is of course the World Cup champion, Italian captain Cana.  Varro is the anchor of the Italian team's defense. Without him, the Italian team's rock-solid defense would be impossible. And Italy has no outstanding superstars except him and Buffon. Everyone performed well. As captain, he is definitely better than Buffon.  Taking advantage, Cannavaro is a well-deserved favorite, and his winning odds have been among the highest during this period.  However, Cannavaro's disadvantage is that the club's performance was completely outperformed by Chen Yu, and the Ballon d'Or has never paid attention to defenders. It has only been awarded to two defenders in history: Sammer and Beckenbauer. Cannavaro's defender  His identity is bound to make it more difficult for him to win the award.  The second favorite is still a member of the World Cup. Buffon was one of the biggest contributors to Italy's victory in the World Cup. From the group stage to the final, except for conceding an own goal and Zidane's penalty in the final, Buffon had no  He set a record in the World Cup when his opponent broke through the goal in a sports battle.  But Buffon's disadvantage is more obvious. It is difficult for goalkeepers to be taken seriously by the judges in the Ballon d'Or award selection. In the previous 50 years of Ballon d'Or award history, only the former Soviet Union goalkeeper Yashin won this honor in 19U3. He also won the award in the club.  After being completely blown away by Chen Yu, he went to play in the second league again in the past half of the season, and his exposure rate was very low.  The third favorite is Chinese superstar Chen Yu. Chen Yu was the double champion of Serie A and the Champions League last season, the double golden boot of Serie A and Europe, and broke the Serie A scoring record for two consecutive years. If this year is not a World Cup year, Chen Yu  There is a great possibility of being elected to the European Golden Globe Award and World Footballer, but luck plays tricks on people like this. Chen Yu, who is like a god in the club, was unable to participate in the World Cup. Because he was injured in the final, Chen Yu was in bed for half the season.  Spending time made him obviously disadvantaged in the competition for the Golden Globe Award.  The fourth favorite is French superstar Henry, who was the runner-up in this summer's World Cup and the Premier League Golden Boot last season.  At the same time, Henry was at the European Ballon d'Or Awards.He is the only superstar to have entered the Golden Ball 10 for consecutive years without winning the championship.  Henry¡¯s chances of winning the award are obviously slim. His status as World Cup runner-up puts him at a disadvantage in the competition with the Italian players. The club was defeated by Chen Yu. He is basically here to make soy sauce again.  The fifth favorite is undoubtedly Ronaldinho, the winner of the last Ballon d'Or and World Player of the Year. He led Barcelona to win the La Liga championship and the Champions League runner-up last season. He was named the best player in La Liga last season, regardless of ability.  If he cannot win an award, in the minds of many fans, Ronaldinho, who plays magnificent football, is the number one figure in world football.  But the main reason why Ronaldinho ranks so low in the odds of winning the championship is similar to Henry. The difference is that Ronaldinho's club lost at the feet of Chen Yu, while the World Cup was lost at the feet of Henry.  Ranking fifth is perfectly normal.  The European Ballon d'Or is the only award that Chen Yu can win, because the European Ballon d'Or always attaches importance to the club's performance, while the selection of World Footballer pays more attention to international events. Don't look at the fact that the voters of the Ballon d'Or are journalists, and the World Footballer  The votes for Footballer of the Year are the head coaches and captains of the national teams of each country. In fact, because these head coaches and captains have different levels of understanding of world football, the voting is very arbitrary. Therefore, in recent years, there are often more Ballon d'Or winners.  The phenomenon of convincing the public, for example, Zidane, the "Mr. World" in the UU and 2003 years, performed worse than Figo and Nedv¨§d, the Golden Globe winners in that year. Owen, the Golden Globe winner in 2001, far surpassed the "Mr. World" in that year.  Figo and Ronaldinho, the "Mr. World" in 2004, are not as good as that year's Golden Globe winner Sheva.  Whether it is the Ballon d'Or or the World Footballer, their selection is not decided by the players. All the players can do is play hard and conquer the judges with their performance on the field.  After winning the Champions League and the League double championship, he encountered the World Cup and suffered injuries. For Chen Yu, this was the best season and the worst season.  But no matter good or bad, Chen Yu is ready to fight before the votes are compiled to prove that he still has the ability to dominate football.  However, Chen Yudu¡¯s dream was shattered the next day by team doctor Waller and medical consultant Peter.  The physical examination proved that Chen Yudu had recovered from his injury, but Chen Yudu was still a little overweight. Waller and Peter speculated that it would be difficult for Chen Yu to have the physical strength to play a game. Moreover, Chen Yu had just recovered from his injury and still needed psychological adjustment. The team doctor did not  It is recommended that Chen Yu play immediately, it is best to run in training for a period of time, and wait until next month to play again.  Undoubtedly, both Waller and Peter's opinions are reasonable, and they are also out of protection for Chen Yu. Whether for public or private reasons, the team doctor does not want Chen Yu to come back so soon. The injury Chen Yu suffered is by no means a small matter.  No, many superstars have been ruined by ankles, and the Premier League is the most physical league in the world. The pace is very fast. Normal players often get injured after moving to the Premier League, so that Brazilian and Argentinian players who focus on technology are injured.  Playing in La Liga, Ligue 1 and Serie A, it is rare to play in the Premier League, not to mention an injured number like Chen Yu.  Once Chen Yu is injured again after playing, it will be fatal to Chen Yu mentally and physically. If Chen Yu wants to return to the top later, there will be basically no hope. It is not impossible to retire early. This will be huge for Liverpool.  The loss was also a huge harm to Chen Yudu's career.  Benitez is a very rational person. After listening to the opinions of the team doctor¡¯s medical consultant, he decisively refused Chen Yu¡¯s request to play and did not even give him a chance to be included in the squad.  "The biggest help you can do to Liverpool is to take good care of your injuries. If you care about results, then go to the stands to cheer for your teammates. Liverpool does not need an injured person to be its savior now. There will be many opportunities to use you later. If you are injured,  It would not be of any help to the team. "Benitez's words were a bit hurtful and did not give Chen Yu face, but Chen Yu was very grateful and could only accept it, so Chen Yu was in the match between Liverpool and Middlesbrough.  Yu sat in the stands again, and once again witnessed the tragedy of Liverpool being tied with Middlesbrough 00 in an away game due to the inaction of the forwards.  In the other three battlefields, Manchester United and Chelsea, both experienced and steady, did not give their opponents any chance. The two teams defeated Sheffield United and West Ham respectively with a score of 0, extending their advantage over Liverpool to 16 points and 16 points.  13 points, and Arsenal and Liverpool are also unstable. They were tied by Newcastle United at home. They are now 9 points behind Manchester United and 1 point behind Chelsea. Their hope of winning the championship is getting smaller and smaller.  Coming to the Champions League, PSV and Liverpool also competed for the top spot in the group with three wins and one draw. At the Philips Stadium in the Netherlands, Liverpool once again showed their true colors in the away game and were defeated by PSV with a clean score of 0. If  In the last round, Liverpool could not defeat PSV Eindhoven in the same game, so they could only advance as second in the group.  Everyone understands that second place in the group means that they will encounter stronger opponents and face an unfavorable schedule of first home and then away. When the league has basically lost hope, to lay the foundation for going further, Liverpool must play at home.Defeated PSV and won first place in the group. At this time, Chen Yu also had the opportunity to play.
