As usual, the issue of French Football magazine that announces the European Ballon d'Or winner every year will have a commentary article written by the magazine's editor-in-chief. The topic is the selection process of the European Ballon d'Or that year and comments on the winners.
This year is no exception.
Gérard Hernault is currently the editor-in-chief of French Football Magazine and the chairman of the European Ballon d'Or Jury. He wrote an article in the newly released French Football Magazine to comment on the winner Su Dong.
A tribute to the youngest ever Ballon d'Or winner!
In this article, Ernault first told the history of the European Ballon d'Or, focusing on the expansion in 1995, which was open to all players from all continents playing in Europe. This was to avoid a situation similar to Marat's.
It is a pity that Dona and Romario spent their brilliant careers in European football, but they did not receive the recognition of the Ballon d'Or.
At the same time, he also mentioned the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, television broadcast rights, and various changes brought about by the Bosman Act. Among them, he implicitly mentioned the phenomenon of vote clumping in Eastern Europe that the outside world is very concerned about. He felt that it was necessary to optimize voting and mechanisms.
Not only that, Ernault also mentioned the European Cup year.
In the history of the European Ballon d'Or, every European Cup year, the Ballon d'Or is mostly awarded to players who have performed well in the European Cup, especially in the recent years.
For example, Rummenigge in 1980, Platini in 1984, Van Basten in 1988 and 1992, Sammer in 1996, and Figo in 2000, all of them are
Performed very well in the European Cup.
"This seems to have brought a subtle rule to the outside world, that is, in the European Cup year, the winners must be those players who participated in the European Cup and performed very well."
Ernault said that this European Cup is different from previous years.
"Many players who performed well in the club made serious mistakes or performed poorly in the European Cup."
Ernault believes that the Greeks' victory created a miracle, but it also overturned the selection of this year's European Ballon d'Or.
"As the favorites, Deco and Henry both performed very well in the club. If they put on a convincing performance in the European Cup, I believe they will be strong contenders, but they have failed in Greece.
under human feet.”
Ernault also mentioned Ronaldinho, believing that the Brazilian did not participate in the European Cup and did not win any championship titles, which meant that despite his outstanding performance in the club, he still failed to win the award.
Not only that, Ernault also vaguely pointed out that in the second half of the new season, with the joining of Su Dong, Ronaldinho's importance in the Barcelona team has been greatly reduced, and it is far less important than last season.
.
Even in terms of performance, Ronaldinho had ups and downs and was not as stable and important as Su Dong.
Shevchenko has two championship titles and is the top scorer in Serie A, which is undoubtedly convincing. At the same time, he also led Ukraine to perform well in the World Cup qualifiers, which allowed him to win more Eastern Europe
of votes.
Elano said that the first rule of Ballon d'Or selection is the overall performance of the players that year.
Consider both individual performance and collective performance.
He believes that Su Dong is the best player in both aspects and is also the most convincing player.
"He helped Valencia win the two most important championship trophies in La Liga and the Champions League. At the same time, with 35 goals, he broke the La Liga record set by Ronaldo and won the La Liga Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot.
Award, he is the youngest ever Golden Boot winner."
Ernault believes that Ronaldo was not in a competition year and there was not so much suspense about winning the award, but this year Su Dong's performance was even better, which made his award even more controversial, but more valuable.
"More importantly, Su Dong is the first Asian player to win the Ballon d'Or and the first Chinese player to win the award."
"This in itself is enough to tell the world that the Ballon d'Or is not only the Ballon d'Or of Europe, but also the Ballon d'Or of the world, and the Ballon d'Or for all football players around the world!"
Ernault said that as a genius from a weak football country, Su Dong stepped from Portugal to Spain, from Sporting Lisbon to Valencia to Barcelona, and he performed amazingly in every team.
performance, showing surprising growth and progress.
"He is the youngest Ballon d'Or winner in history, but we have reason to believe that he has a chance to become the greatest Ballon d'Or winner in history!"
"Let us salute the youngest ever winner of the Ballon d'Or!"

"Many award winners will experience an obvious decline in their competitive status after winning the award. This is a decline after the peak and is a normal phenomenon. But for Su Dong, he is too young, only twenty years old. He must

AS and MARCA are both newspapers that favor Real Madrid and have always ignored Barcelona. However, this time they also gave Su Dong a rare high praise and believed that Su Dong deserved the award.
AS reported bitterly that Real Madrid missed out on Sudong six months ago, which would definitely be Florentino's regret.
"How I hope Florentino can reproduce his magical skills four years ago and let the Camp Nou stands throw pig heads again!"
Marca revealed that the team proposed by Laporta to sign Sudong at double the transfer fee is actually Real Madrid, because looking at European football, only the wealthy Real Madrid has such courage.
