    After successfully securing the top spot in the group with a 4:1 victory over Porto, Liverpool continued to be happy. The next day, FIFA announced the final three candidates for the 2007 World Player of the Year. Chen Yu lived up to expectations and ranked first, along with the other two  The candidates are Kak¨¢, the core of the Serie A AC Milan club, and Messi, the Argentine teenager who is the new star of Barcelona.  Although it is not unexpected that Chen Yu, Kak¨¢ and Messi were selected into the top three, the rapid decline of the top three of the World Footballer in the past two years is surprising.  The biggest decliner is Ronaldinho. In this Golden Ball list, he only scored a measly 18 points and ranked 12th.  Just two years ago, Ronaldinho was still widely expected to be the number one player in football, winning both the 2005 World Player of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or. There were even calls for him to become the third player in the world.  At that time, no one could foresee that Ronaldinho would be in the predicament he is in today.  Now in Barcelona, ??he can no longer play the main team.  Cannavaro, the 2006 World Player of the Year winner, is declining at the same rate as Ronaldinho. After his move to Real Madrid, he almost became a black hole in the defense. Now he is only ranked third in the selection of candidates for the World Player of the Year.  No. 22, considered by fans to be the best football player in the world.  Shevchenko, the 2004 Golden Globe winner, is also in a very bad situation. He was not even nominated for this selection.  In Chelsea, Sheva was once abandoned by Mourinho. Even if the coach is changed now, he cannot play the main team and still continues the embarrassment of "Mr. 15 Minutes" (playing 10 to 20 minutes as a substitute in each game).  Sheva is a typical example of transfer failure. In Serie A and AC Milan, he is the real ace, and the young Kak¨¢ is far behind. However, in the Premier League, Sheva has become synonymous with slow movements. He cannot adapt to the situation here.  Rhythm, and gradually lost the trust of the Blues locker room.  In obvious contrast to Shevchenko, Chen Yu, the current favorite of the World Footballer, also moved from Serie A to the Premier League. Chen Yu took it like a duck to water here and became the savior in his first season, helping Liverpool win the league and the Champions League.  Champion, Liverpool is still making rapid progress this season, with an obvious upward momentum. Chen Yu, who is only two years younger than Shevchenko, has not shown any signs of decline in form. Instead, his performance is getting better and better. Although the selection of World Footballer is in  It was only announced on the 17th, but Chen Yu's election is almost certain, and neither Mei? nor Kaka can pose a threat to him.  The media believes that the reason why Chen Yu can maintain such a state is not only because he has super comprehensive skills, but also because Chen Yu lives a relatively self-disciplined life and rarely has night life. If Chen Yu can continue like this, he will even be a star in the next three years or so.  Can stand at the pinnacle of world football.  Less than three days after the top three candidates for the World Footballer were announced, the selection of the European Ballon d'Or, another major award in world football, also came to the final moment. On December 2, "France Football" magazine held a grand ceremony in Paris  Chen Yu was invited to attend the award ceremony in Paris.  In the past year, due to the lack of heavyweight national team events, the European Champions League has become the most important honor.  Chen Yu helped Liverpool win the Champions League and played a crucial role. He won the Champions League top scorer with 14 goals and was named the best forward and MVP in the European War last season. Therefore, he is the same as the World Footballer.  , Chen Yu is also the biggest favorite for the European Golden Globe Award.  The European Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held at Place Cardin on the Champs Elys¨¦es in Paris, France. On this day, the eyes of fans from all over the world, including Chinese fans, were also focused here.  Chen Yu may win the European Ballon d'Or, which is also an unprecedented happy event for Liverpool. For this reason, club owners Gillette and Hicks specially rented a business plane and came to Paris with Chen Yu and Gerrard.  Ladd, as one of the contributors to Liverpool's Champions League and league titles, has also become one of the final five candidates for the Ballon d'Or.  This is the first time for Chen Yu to attend the European Golden Globe Awards Ceremony. Although the outside world believes that he will definitely win the Golden Globe Award, as long as there is no final announcement, everything is still unknown, so Chen Yu feels excited and nervous.  As a guest, French superstar Papin first announced the list of the top five players who have won the Ballon d'Or: Chen Yu, Kak¨¢, Gerrard, Messi, and Ronaldo. As Papin read out the names of these five players  , photos of the five players also began to appear on the big screen one after another.  Subsequently, highlights of the five players' outstanding performances began to play on the big screen.  After that, Pierre, the editor-in-chief of "France Football", personally announced the winner of the 2007 European Golden Globe Award: I am very honored to announce that the winner of this year's European Golden Globe Award isChen Yu, the Chinese superstar from Liverpool.  Congratulations to Chen Yu for winning this year's European Football Ballon d'Or. His performance in the past year was perfect and decisive. Whether in the Premier League or the Champions League, Chen Yu was the best.  The one you can trust!  He deserves this award" When Chen Yu'sWhen Pierre read out the word "??", the guests in the stadium applauded. Thousands of miles away, the Chinese fans in front of the TV also cheered. Many people jumped up and down, and even stayed.  Tears fell.  Chen Yu received his Golden Globe Award trophy from Pierre, the French Football Editor-in-Chief and Chairman of the Ballon d'Or Jury, bowed to Pierre and the guests present, and then expressed himself to fans around the world.  's acceptance speech: "This has been a special year for me and this award confirms that. The only way to win this award is to be part of a championship team, so I thank my teammates, my coaches. I  I would also like to thank everyone who has supported me throughout my career. Winning the Ballon d'Or is the highest compliment for any player. I am very happy that this year I became the best one and won the Ballon d'Or all the time.  It is one of my dreams, and today my dream has finally come true. However, I will not be satisfied with the status quo. I will continue to work hard and strive to be here again. " Chen Yu's previous words are ordinary, and most winners may say so.  , but the last two sentences were so domineering that Pierre, who presented him with the award, couldn't help but look askance.  After Chen Yu gave his acceptance speech, Pierre invited Liverpool coach Benitez to comment on his disciple. Benitez naturally praised his proud disciple.  "Chen Yu's performance last season was perfect. He helped us realize our dream of the league championship in just half a season, and of course the Champions League. Scoring 52 goals in one season is phenomenal, but Chen Yu's performance against  The role of the team is not just to score goals. Chen Yu is a player that has never been seen in football history. He is very comprehensive. I believe that if he wants, he can play from goalkeeper to forward, so he gives the team  The help is all-round. I believe what Chen Yu said. This is not the last time he will win the award. He will often appear on this podium. "The European Ballon d'Or was selected by "France Football" magazine in 1956 and has been selected this year.  In the 52nd session, a total of 41 Mr. Golden Globes were produced.  According to the voting rules, a total of 96 journalists from all continents serve as judges. Each person can list 5 candidates. The scores from first to fifth are 5 to 1 point respectively. The full score a player can get is 480 points, and Chen  Yu's final score of 411 points was already quite close.  All 96 judges in this voting filled in Chen Yu's name in the ballot. This is the first time in the past 16 years of the Golden Globe Awards selection.  The last time someone was elected unanimously was the current special guest Papin, who was also elected unanimously in 1991.  Before Chen Yu, no one had been able to combine the five major titles of Champions League champion + top league champion + more than 50 goals in a single season + top league top scorer + Champions League top scorer. From this perspective, Chen Yu is worthy of the Golden Globe Award in the history of  First person.  The last star to win the European Golden Ball and Golden Boot awards was Ronaldo at his peak in 1997.  When receiving this honor, Chen Yu is also the first player in Asian and Chinese history to win the Ballon d'Or. He is also the second player from Liverpool to win the Ballon d'Or after Owen.  Chen Yu helped Liverpool win the Premier League championship last season and helped the club win the European Champions Cup for the sixth time in history. Chen Yu was the top scorer in these two events.  Not only did he sweep all the awards in English football last season, he was also elected as the best player in the UEFA club competition.  Before the Ballon d'Or, Cristiano Ronaldo also won the European Golden Boot Award, the International Professional Footballers Association's Best Player and other honors.  If he can be re-elected as FIFA's "World Footballer of the Year" this year, he will be able to complete the grand slam of annual personal honors.  Chen Yu won the 2008 European Golden Globe Award. This result was expected by everyone. It would be a huge upset if Chen Yu did not win the award. After Chen Yu successfully won the Golden Globe Award, people are now concerned about entering the  Among the five players in the top five, who is in the top three, who is second, and who is third?  Before the award was announced, people predicted that the second place should be Kaka who plays for AC Milan. After all, Kaka led Milan to the final, and the third place should be Chen Yu! Teammate Gerrard.  Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are still young. Being selected is a victory for them. The future is theirs. Now they are still a little green and have not won important championship trophies.  However, everyone was surprised when Pierre announced the winners of the Silver Ball and Bronze Ball.  "Now I announce that the Silver Ball winner of the 2007 European Ballon d'Or is Leo Messi from Barcelona, ??Spain. His score is 171 points. The Bronze Ball winner of the 2007 European Ballon d'Or is Leo from Serie A AC Milan.  Kaka, he scored 170 points" Not only others were surprised, but even Messi himself was very surprised. He looked at Pierre and then at the others, wondering if Pierre had made a mistake.  , but Pierre reiterated it again, "Please invite Silver Ball winner Messi and Bronze Ball winner Kaka to come on stage to receive the trophy." At this time, Messi and other talents affirmed that Pierre?There is no mistake, Messi did beat Kaka to win the Silver Ball.  Kaka was also surprised and did not go on stage to receive the award for the first time. It was not until Pierre invited them to the stage again that Kaka walked onto the podium with Messi with a sullen face.  After the Silver Globe and Bronze Globe awards were awarded, the three winners took a group photo together. At this time, Kaka's expression softened a little and expressed his blessings to both Chen Yu and Messi.  Chen Yu was in a good mood. He first held Kaka's hand and said, "Sorry, I stole your golden ball." Kaka forced a smile and said, "This should have been yours." Chen Yu smiled.  He said thank you and held Messi's hand again: "Leo, the future is yours, but I still have to compete with you in the past two years." Messi blushed and said shyly: "  Thank you for the compliment, I don¡¯t dare to think about it now.¡± Chen Yu smiled and said, ¡°You will have such a day.¡± After the awards were given, Benitez, Gillette and Hicks all came over to hug Chen.  feather.  Benitez said: "Chen, your dream has come true. Congratulations." Gillette gave Chen Yu a hug and said, "Good boy, you are so great. I knew this award must be yours."  Kesi patted Chen Yu on the shoulder and said: "Last year was perfect. Keep working hard this year. We still haven't won the Club World Cup." Chen Yu repeatedly handed over his hand and said: "Thank you for your support. Without you, this would not be possible.  "Golden ball." Gillette took the golden ball from Chen Yu's hand, kissed it, and said: "Keep working hard and win another one next year." Chen Yu said with a smile: "Next year is the year of the European Cup, it will not be so easy."  Benitez said: "As long as we can defend the title next year, no one can threaten you to win the Golden Ball again, unless Ronaldo can lead Portugal to win the European Cup." While everyone was talking, reporters gathered around, holding microphones and cameras.  Facing Chen Yu, he pushed Gillette, Hicks and Benitez aside.  Having just won the Golden Ball, Chen Yu also had a lot to say and did not resist interviews with reporters.  "How do you feel after winning the Golden Globe Award?" The reporter's first question is very clich¨¦, but it is a question that must be asked every time.  Chen Yu has just said a lot at the award ceremony, but now he is still full of desire to express, "I am very happy, very, very happy. The Golden Globe Award is the greatest affirmation for a professional player, and being able to win the Golden Ball is also  I have fulfilled one of my biggest dreams for many years. I know that this award is an affirmation of my many years of hard work, but I think its meaning is more than that. It is also an affirmation of the team I am in. Without the tenacious, brave and fearless team like Liverpool,  It is impossible for me to win this Golden Ball even if I don¡¯t have the team. In addition, this award is also an affirmation of my relatives and friends who selflessly support me. Without the wholehearted support of my relatives and friends, I would not be able to perform at my best on the court.  Here, I want to tell them through your mouth that I love them and I will dedicate this golden ball to them. At the same time, I will continue to work hard to win more championships and golden balls. " "You think it is right.  Who helped you the most in winning the Ballon d'Or? How did he help you?" asked an English reporter.  Chen Yu pondered for a moment and said: "What helped me the most was not one person, but my love for football. In Italy, I once wanted to give up football and find a job, but in the end I chose football as my career.  Student, because I like playing football. This kind of love allowed me to persevere in difficult times and unleash my infinite potential. Now I have finally fulfilled my dream. I am grateful to football, which has changed my destiny.  " "You have won the European Golden Globe Award, so what is your next goal?" A French reporter handed the microphone to Chen Yu's mouth.  Chen Yu said: "World Footballer, Club World Cup, more golden balls, well, there is also the World Cup Haha, don't laugh, I can't even think about the World Cup." When Chen Yu said that the goal is still the World Cup,  Journalists laughed, especially those from Asia and China.  A Korean reporter smiled and said: "Chen Yu, I think it is more pragmatic for you to set your goal of winning the Asian Cup and reaching the World Cup finals, don't you think?" Chen Yu smiled contemptuously and said: "I won't just do that.  It¡¯s promising. As a big country with a population of 1.3 billion, it¡¯s not difficult for China to win the Asian Cup. It¡¯s just around the corner to reach the World Cup finals. Just wait and see.¡± A Chinese reporter finally got the chance to ask a question.  First he congratulated Chen Yu, and then said: "China's football level is poor, and it is difficult for Chinese players to gain a foothold in the five major leagues. And you are an alternative among Chinese players. Chen Yu, what is the secret of your success? Can you"?Speak out and let other Chinese players learn from it.  " Chen Yu scratched his head, thinking that this secret of mine could not be borrowed or learned, but at this time he could only make up a lie to deal with it, "The first is diligence. Starting in Florence, I have  I was always the first to arrive, and at least an hour in advance. I was also the last to leave after training. The second thing is to use your brain more. The more you understand the sport of football, the better you will do. Football  It¡¯s not just about physical sports, it¡¯s very complicated; thirdly, learning is to be good at learning from other players and seniors, so that you can become more comprehensive.  "The Chinese reporter then asked: "Having won the Ballon d'Or, it should be no problem to win the World Footballer Award. So the World Cup may be the one with the least honors in your career. How far do you think you can lead the Chinese team?  Is it also what all Chinese fans are most concerned about?  " Chen Yu said: "This can only be done one step at a time, but I think there is no problem in reaching the World Cup finals.  "The Chinese reporter asked again: "Chinese players have always been ineffective in international competitions, and their psychological quality is extremely weak. Do you have confidence in them?  " Chen Yu said seriously: "I think you are talking about the same problem. Mental fragility is caused by poor performance. Just like a strong team like Liverpool, their psychology is never weak, because victory gives us enough confidence.  .  Therefore, as long as the Chinese team can continue to accumulate wins, psychological problems will no longer be a problem.  "At this time, an English reporter hurriedly asked: "Gerrard won the Champions League and the League Championship but did not enter the top three. Do you think this is fair?  " Chen Yu immediately complained for his teammates, saying: "I don't think there is any problem with Gerrard winning the Golden Ball. His role in Liverpool is more important than mine, but Gerrard's style of play is relatively simple and not so tricky.  Eyeballs, so there is no advantage in such selections.  " An Argentinian reporter finally got a chance to ask a question. He immediately asked Chen Yu: "Messi won the Silver Ball without winning any championships. What do you think of this?  " Chen Yu smiled and said: "Messi has great potential. I think he has a bright future. The Golden Globe Award is not a problem for him. I think he will become Argentina's second Maradona.  " A Portuguese reporter then asked: "Then what do you think of Ronaldo? Does he hope to win the Ballon d'Or?  " Chen Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Of course Ronaldo is also a great player. He also has a bright future. Winning the Ballon d'Or is not a problem. The future belongs to him and Messi.  " Chen Yu accepted an interview for almost ten minutes in one breath, but reporters kept coming. If this continued, I was afraid it would not end until the evening. Chen Yu quickly ended the interview. After Benitez, Gillette, Hicks and  Under the cover of bodyguards, he left the award ceremony and flew back to Liverpool.
