If a superstar wins four Ballon d’Ors in his career, how high is his historical status?
If this superstar was still an active player, how high would his historical status be?
If he was just a 25-year-old young player, how high would his historical status be?
This is a topic that countless professionals, football practitioners, media reporters and fans in the world of football have been discussing in the past six months, and it is changing from the original hypothesis to a fact.
…
At the headquarters of Kicker magazine in Nuremberg, editor-in-chief Rainer Holtzschue typed out the above lines in the manuscript he opened on his computer, preparing to start a column he had carefully prepared.
The topic of discussion is that Su Dong won his fourth Golden Globe Award!
This is actually no longer necessary, because the whole world knows this fact.
In the past season, besides Su Dong, who else deserved the Golden Globe Award?
He led Bayern to defend the Triple Crown and won the Bundesliga, Champions League and European Golden Boot Awards in one fell swoop. He was so generous with all major awards. How could such a player not win the Ballon d'Or?
In other words, if Su Dong fails to win the Golden Globe Award, it will not be him who loses, but the Golden Globe Award.
Because the whole world will question the credibility of the Golden Globe Awards.
Not only the media thinks so, but also people in the football industry have basically recognized Su Dong. Even Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the two superstars who are regarded as the most likely to challenge Su Dong, have expressed their support for Su Dong in public.
Dong won the Golden Globe Award.
It can be said that Su Dong won the award as expected.
Now all it takes is an official announcement from French Football Magazine and a seal of approval.
…
Kicker Magazine is the oldest professional football magazine in the world. It is 26 years older than France Football Magazine, the organizer of the Ballon d'Or. It is also one of the best-selling professional football magazines in the world, with sales volume exceeding France Football Magazine.
The magazine is still high.
Rigor has always been the philosophy of Kicker Magazine.
So much so that when all other newspapers, including Bild, began to speculate that Sudong was basically locked in the fourth Ballon d'Or, Kicker magazine was still waiting for the latest news from French football magazines.
It’s just that editor-in-chief Rainer Holtzschue is preparing the manuscript for the magazine’s column in advance.
Kicker Magazine is preparing to produce a special issue for Su Dong’s fourth Golden Globe Award, which will be released together with the regular issue.
To this end, the magazine has traveled to Lisbon, Valencia, Barcelona, Munich, and some cities in China in the past two or three months. Reporters are chasing Su Dong's footsteps and want to present it to fans around the world.
Publish the most complete football report on Sudong and Dong in history.
This is the first time in the 90-year history of Kicker magazine.
Just as it was the first time in history that Su Dong won the Golden Globe Award four times.
Rainer Holtzschue took this special issue very seriously, and he even wrote a special column for it, just like the editor-in-chief of French Football magazine writes the opening line of every Golden Ball special issue.
As the most influential individual football award in the world, the Ballon d'Or has been reforming and expanding over the past fifty years, but one thing remains unchanged, that is, they insist on refusing any sponsorship and always avoid contact with various parties.
Cooperation between big brands and enterprises has only one purpose, and that is to maintain the transcendent status of the Golden Globe Awards.
Indeed, in recent years, with FIFA's vigorous promotion of the World Player of the Year, the momentum of the Golden Globe Award has somewhat weakened, but this is just influence. From a professional and authoritative perspective, all players and media still value gold.
Ball Award.
If you have to choose between the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer, there is no doubt that most people will choose the Ballon d'Or. This is authority!
It is precisely because of this that it is more difficult to win the Ballon d'Or than the World Footballer.
In the past few years, the player with the most Ballon d'Or awards has only won three times.
Cruyff, Platini and Van Basten have all won the Ballon d'Or three times. They are all great legends in the history of world football, and they are also superstars talked about by countless fans.
Great players such as football emperor Franz Beckenbauer only won two Ballon d'Ors. Stars such as Keegan, Rummenigge, and Ronaldo also only won two Ballon d'Ors, while Zidane, Weah, and Paolo
Pan, Gullit, Paul Rossi, Gerd Muller, Best and other famous legends have only won one Golden Globe Award.
It can be said that the difficulty of winning the Golden Globe Award can be clearly seen from this list and the number of times it has been won.
And now, Su Dong is about to win his fourth Golden Globe Award.
If there is even a trace of suspense, I believe everyone will have doubts, but the problem is, there is really no suspense!
Except for Su Dong, no one is qualified to receive this award.
A 25-year-old active player has won four Ballon d'Ors. What does this mean?
…
Rainer Holz wrote a lot with a sigh of relief. The more he wrote, the more excited he became, and the more he wrote, the more energetic he became.
He kept writing until the passion in his mind subsided a little, and then he stopped typing on the keyboard with his hands, which were a little sore.
The coffee beside the table had gone cold, but he drank it all in one go.
I lit a cigarette for myself, took two strong puffs, and exhaled it gently, and my eyes suddenly filled with smoke.
After checking the time, Holtzsch put out his cigarette, opened the web page on his computer, and entered the official website of France Football Magazine. The loading speed was a bit slow.
This made Holtzschue smile bitterly.
At this moment, it is early morning in Europe, but around the world, countless media reporters and fans are refreshing this web page, waiting for that report to be released.
Everyone believes that it is one thing, and guessing is the same thing, but only official certification can make it settled.
Holtzschue can guess that tomorrow morning, every city in the world, all newspapers, magazines, radio stations, TV stations, major websites and forums will be crazily discussing Su Dong's fourth Golden Globe Award.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is estimated that only football has such an influence!
Holtzschue got up and walked out of the office, and went to the tea area to make himself another cup of black coffee. Just smelling the bitter smell of black coffee made him feel energetic.
Back in front of the computer, I just refreshed the web page and found that a report had been posted on the French Football official website on time.
"2009 European Ballon d'Or winner: Su Dong!"
Although he was well prepared and well-informed, Holtzschue still shook his hands and almost spilled his coffee. He quickly clicked in and found a photo of Su Dong holding the Golden Globe Award.
But when I took another closer look, I suddenly saw more mysteries.
Su Dong in the photo is wearing casual clothes. The background looks like his home, and the three people around him are senior executives of French football magazines. The photo is obviously not taken by a professional photographer, and the Golden Globe Award Su Dong is holding is also with
It's not like it used to be.
The following report said that it was a "Golden Globe" made of chocolate and looked like a birthday cake.
When he saw this, Holtzsch couldn't help laughing.
In order to avoid leaking the secret in advance, French Football Magazine really tried their best and made sufficient preparations. Various procedures were changed again and again, and they tried every means to leave the suspense until the last moment.
But what’s the result?
I happened to meet a Su Dong!
As early as when Bayern defended the Triple Crown, everyone had basically concluded that Su Dong was a sure winner.
However, only the French football magazine deliberately hid it.
"That fellow Shawmier must be very depressed!" Holzsch said with a smile.
Kicker Magazine and French Football Magazine are still somewhat dissatisfied with each other and are competing with each other. Naturally, there is some competition between the editors-in-chief of the two magazines. Holtzschue is now happy to see Xiaomier's frustrated expression. Then
It must be very interesting.
However, after laughing, Holtzschue looked at Su Dong in the website report and felt even more amazed.
Sure enough, there are talents from all over the world.
Everyone originally thought that it would take at least a few more years for the Bundesliga to rise. After players such as Toni Kroos and Thomas Muller matured and took over the leading role, who would have thought that the emergence of Su Dong would abruptly change the Bundesliga.
The rise of Bayern was a few years ahead of schedule, and Bayern has already become one of the top teams in Europe.
More importantly, Su Dong won the Ballon d'Or for the second time at Bayern.
Before Su Dong, there were only two players in Bayern history who had won the Ballon d'Or twice, Beckenbauer and Rummenigge.
In other words, with this Golden Globe Award, Su Dong will become a Bayern star and join the Hall of Fame.
Speaking of this, I have to mention a very interesting thing. Not long ago, the Catalan media launched a vote on whether Su Dong should be included in the club's hall of fame.
Chairman Rosell and Bartomeu and others were opposed, but opponents on the board of directors Laporta, Cruyff and others were supportive. According to final media statistics, the vast majority of fans believed that
Su Dong should be in the Barcelona Hall of Fame.
Then a very interesting scene occurred. Su Dong became another club legend who was forced out by Barcelona himself.
In fact, regardless of tonight's Golden Globe Award, Su Dong is destined to enter the Bayern Hall of Fame. But with this Golden Globe Award, Su Dong's position in the Bayern Hall of Fame will definitely be higher, even if it is not as good as Bacon.
Ball, Rummenigge and Gerd Muller are probably not too far behind.
After all, he helped Bayern successfully defend the Triple Crown.
If he successfully defends his title this season, Sudong's position in Bayern's history will take another step forward, even threatening the historical status of Beckenbauer, Rummenigge and others.
Holtzschue simply couldn't imagine that Su Dong had already achieved such amazing achievements in just three years of playing. If he had stayed at Bayern for a few more years, or even stayed until he retired, how high would his historical status be?
By then I'm afraid it won't just be Bayern, but the whole of German football.
When he thought of this, Holtzsch suddenly had an impulse and his emotions became surging again.
Many words came to his mind and he wanted to express them through columns.
Thousands of words were written into an article, condensed into one sentence, and he only wanted to say two words to Su Dong.
