Unlike Japan, China, South Korea, Thailand and other East Asian countries that celebrated Wang Ai's selection, at the entrance of the Zurich Opera House, reporters were more concerned about last year's "top three". No one had been selected in several years, and all had been replaced.
There are new faces.
Cannavaro, Wang Ai, and Zidane are both surprising and not surprising. They all have reasons for being selected, and they all have certain flaws. Let’s not talk about Cannavaro, a purely defensive player. He has been selected since half a month.
The former Ballon d’Or has been quarreling until now, with all the great players competing to express their opinions. From Germany to France, to Italy to Spain to the United Kingdom, there are many opponents. In Wang Ai’s case, his personal ability, especially his offensive ability, is not that good, but his defensive ability
It's not a big problem after all, no one asked Ronaldo to be strong defensively back then. But this is the World Cup year, and the Chinese team is only in the top eight. One of the other two teams is the champion and the other is the runner-up. Zidane
The problem is that his humiliating foul has greatly affected his reputation. Since he became the World Footballer of the Year in 1998, his consistent image has been "elegant playing style". As a result, this time he was slapped on the head, and many people strongly opposed him at the time.
Winning the World Cup Golden Ball, Blatter couldn't stand it.
Of course, a developed media needs to find food to eat, so no matter how good it is, it still has to find faults. Just like the Barcelona people who ridiculed Cannavaro as only worthy of winning the shot put award, they can always scold them if they want. But the final three of this session
People are indeed not as credible as the previous one. For example, Cannavaro's final score was only 484 points, while Ronaldinho two years ago scored 620 points, and Ronaldinho last year reached 956 points! And Lampard, who was second last year
Just over 300 points.
Ronaldinho's rapid decline, poor performance in the World Cup, and the club's failure to win the Champions League made the Catalans very disappointed. But they can't blame themselves. Coincidentally, this year's final three players all have "enmity" with Barcelona.
!So this time the scolding was quite unrestrained, three of them, one at a time, scolded from beginning to end.
But with the exception of the Catalans, who are the map guns, both the media and celebrities have mostly praised Wang Ai. Except for his unquestionable personal performance, he has caught up with the World Cup year, so he has some sympathy.
Besides factors, the main thing is his age.
Cannavaro is 33 years old and Zidane is 34 years old. Seeing that this year's World Footballer is basically equivalent to the Golden Foot Award. Looking at the other top ten, Ronaldinho is 27 years old, Henry is 30 years old, and Eto'o is 26 years old.
Years old, Drogba is 29 years old, Kaka is 25 years old, Buffon is 29 years old, and Pirlo is 28 years old. They are either at their peak or past their peak.
Both the media and experts like to play the role of "prophet". Among the ten people in this session, there won't be many. In five years, there will basically be only one Wang Ai left, so predicting Wang Ai is even more meaningful.
, whether it is boasting or playing, if the bet is right, there will be something to say. The most typical one is "Turin Sports News", which clearly predicts: Wang Ai will get at least one of the two awards next year!
"Are you surprised by this result?" Wang Ai repeated the reporter's question and smiled: "Unexpected."
"Then where do you think you should be?"
"Mr. Jose told me that I should be number one." Wang Ai looked at the smiling Portuguese and shrugged: "I believe him."
The reporters' interest was immediately attracted by the Portuguese. Compared with Wang Ai's caution in front of the European media, the Portuguese was more lovable.
"My player has the highest goal rate among active players, the record for most goals in a single game in the Champions League, the record for consecutive hat tricks in the Premier League, the World Cup goal record and efficiency record. I don't know anyone else who can perform better than him.
Even better. Now everyone is saying that his selection is a great breakthrough in international football, saying that he is the biggest surprise in international football this year, but everyone has forgotten that he has been the European Golden Boy for three consecutive years. Frankly speaking,
Today should have come a long time ago. He is a unique player, and I think the praise and evaluation of him are not a breakthrough and have not reached his true height." Jose gushed.
Wang Ai stepped aside a little, and the Portuguese started to complain about FIFA.
Sure enough, the reporter immediately asked: "Do you think FIFA is unfair?"
Fortunately, Jose was in a good mood today, so he let FIFA go and shook his head: "No, no, I didn't say that. I think all of us don't have a deep enough understanding of wiwi. Maybe we haven't done it yet."
So ready to welcome this type of player."
"Then do you think that because he rarely participates in defense, does it undermine the tactical plan you formulated for Chelsea? Does his number of goals come at the expense of the team's overall defensive ability? Is he someone who pursues individual performance too much?
A player who doesn't care about the team as a whole?" The reporter asked and then added: "Would it be better if we replaced a forward who is more obedient to the team's overall requirements?"
Jose looked at the excited Nordic reporter strangely: "What on earth are you talking about? Why can't I understand? Isn't it good to score goals? Do you think that in the World Cup, the Chinese team averaged two goals per game?
He has the ball, and if he replaces it with a defender, can he eliminate two goals from the opponent? Or three goals, and then get a bigger victory?"
Jose shook his head, squeezed out of the crowd and left.
Damn it, you retard! If you believe your evil deeds, release Wiwi, and a large number of people will be sure to grab it, including the Catalans who are jumping to scold you now.
When we walked into the hall, the party was about to start. A large number of empty seats in the front row belonged to Chelsea, the first team in the two-award winning team. After Wang Ai and Drogba waited for their teammates to sit down, Blatter quickly walked onto the podium.
The first award was the Golden Globe Award for this year's World Cup. This was announced after the World Cup. Although it caused a lot of controversy, FIFA still insisted on giving the Golden Ball Award to Zidane and the Silver Ball Award to
Cannavaro was awarded, and the Bronze Ball Award was given to Wang Ai.
The three of them went on stage to receive the trophy together, shook hands with the guests, and then took a group photo. Wang Ai held the base with one hand and grabbed the middle of the trophy with the other. He also took the time to look down and saw that the Bronze Ball Award was also very beautiful and was made by a jewelry company.
After polishing, it also looks radiant under the illumination of indoor lights. But the color is darker than the gold ball and a little red.
Anyway, everyone is looking at what Zidane is doing!
Wang Ai walked off the stage and received congratulations from his teammates. Wang Ai chatted and laughed with the envious, jealous and hateful guys one by one and then sat next to Jose. Terry was not here today, although Lampard was.
I also knew that the stage tonight belonged to Wiwi, so I quietly took my fiancée to sit on the other side. Next to Wang Ai was Kang Si.
Tang Yaodong was the orthodox coach for the Bronze Ball Award, but he did not push forward. Next to him was Xu Qinglian, who was pretending to be the Chinese team's translator.
