With the announcement of the first FIFA Ballon d'Or, overnight, the world's media once again put Su Dong in the spotlight.
Regarding Su Dong winning this honor again, the media and fans generally responded with affirmation, but there was also some controversy, mainly due to the lack of performance of Su Dong's national team.
In the past, it was not a competition year. The winners were mostly based on club competitions, especially the Champions League. Therefore, Sudong deserved the award. But this year is a World Cup year, and competition years are usually based on national competitions.
The team’s competition is used as a reference.
If it is based on the performance of the World Cup, there is no doubt that Spanish internationals Xavi and Iniesta, who play for Barcelona, are the well-deserved favorites. Xavi is the core of the midfield, and Iniesta attacked in the final.
Score the winning goal, no matter who wins the award, they both deserve it.
Unexpectedly, it was Su Dong who finally won the award.
It has to be said that this can be regarded as a big "unpopular".
The so-called unpopularity does not mean that no one is optimistic about Su Dong. On the contrary, before the game, many media and professionals are optimistic about Su Dong and think of his performance in the club, especially his great achievements in leading Bayern Munich to successfully defend the Triple Crown.
, is unique in the history of world football and can be called great.
In addition, after joining Manchester City, his condition has been improving all the way and his performance has been very good.
It can be said that from a purely performance perspective, there is no doubt that Su Dong won the award.
Unpopularity is unpopular. In the World Cup year, Su Dong's national team performance was completely blank. This naturally made his award naturally accompanied by controversy. After all, the two major contributors to Spain's World Cup victory also entered the Ballon d'Or selection.
Top three.
After FIFA announced that Su Dong won the award, it quickly announced the results of the votes on its official website. There is no doubt that Su Dong won the award, and many media have also revealed more inside stories. For example, relatively speaking
The voting of the national team head coaches and captains of the top ten traditional teams has more weight.
According to media statistics, among the top ten traditional strong teams’ national team head coaches, Su Dong received eight first choices and one secondary choice. Among the top ten national team head coaches, Su Dong received seven first choices.
A third option.
As we all know, players from our own country cannot be selected in the national team votes.
Dutch head coach Van Marwijk and captain Van Bommel both violated this rule. They both chose Sneijder in the first option, Van Marwijk chose Sudong in the second option, and Van Bommel chose Sudong in this option.
Robben was chosen and Su Dong was placed as the third option.
The current situation in Argentina is quite chaotic. The national team coach Maradona is dismissed and the captain is temporarily vacant. Therefore, none of them participated in the voting this time, so it was vacant.
Among the top ten captains, there is another vote that did not even place Su Dong in the top three, and that is Robinho, the captain of the Brazilian national team.
Robinho gave his first choice to Messi, his second choice to Xavi, and his third choice to Iniesta.
The Brazilian captain said in an interview with Brazilian media that he believes that in competition years, performance from the national team level should be considered more, while Sudong is blank in this regard.
But the question is, Messi is not ideal in the national team, so why put Messi as the first option?
Robinho was speechless. Finally, he said that he didn't like Su Dong.
This is another sad and sad story.
If you really want to say it, it has to start from when Robinho landed at Real Madrid and his subsequent tragic experience at Manchester City.
If the story of Robinho and Su Dong were written into a book, it would definitely not be a sports novel, but a novel about a woman's bad relationship.
…
Regardless of whether it is based on the final votes or the votes from the top ten football powers, Sudong's award is well-deserved.
Although there are controversies from the outside world, most of them are affirmative. After all, Su Dong's achievements in the past year are astonishing.
Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, expressed his affirmation of Su Dong's winning of the award in his column. At the same time, he believed that Su Dong could win at least three more Ballon d'Ors in his career.
Judging from his age, resume and ability, he can definitely do it.
Of course, to do this, he must lead Manchester City to rise, and even complete the legend created by Maradona in Naples in Manchester City, and even become more legendary than Maradona back then.
That's the Champions League!
Judging from Manchester City's performance this season, the possibility of winning the championship is still very high.
At present, Manchester City's biggest challenge is no longer its competitors, but how to continue to maintain its lead in the Premier League, especially after the Christmas devil's schedule, the team's physical and state recovery, and the following winter break
These are huge challenges.
The scary thing about the Premier League is that the Christmas Devil schedule is only part of it, and the winter break schedule is also only part of it. Under the influence of various factors, the team started two-line or even multi-line operations in February, and then
What follows is a decline in physical fitness and condition, which is the biggest headache.
This is what Ferguson has been emphasizing before. He firmly believes that Manchester City will lose points continuously during the Christmas and winter break schedules, and Manchester United will catch up with Manchester City in March and April.
March and April have always been the watershed for Manchester United to overturn their opponents in the standings.
It can be said that Ferguson's remarks were partially successful, and Manchester City really lost points on Christmas.
However, the 9-1 victory over Arsenal gave Manchester City confidence. The team's large-scale signings during the winter break also improved the team's bench thickness.
Everyone believes that the team will do a lot in the future.

But before the end of the first half, Su Dong's shot created a corner kick opportunity. Pepe, who had just made a mistake, redeemed himself and successfully equalized the score for Manchester City.

Four to one!

In the twenty-fourth round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenged Aston Villa away.
Due to the intensive schedule during the winter break, Guardiola has rotated the team's lineup.
Su Dong sat on the bench, new aid Dzeko made his debut, and several new aids such as David Luiz also played.
Manchester City still firmly controlled the ball and the rhythm of the game, but the offensive performance was still relatively raw. The cooperation between Dzeko and his teammates was not tacit enough. Although they created several threats, they were never able to convert into goals.
Instead, in the 18th minute, the opponent seized the opportunity. Agbonlahor counterattacked with the ball, and Darren Bent opened the scoring for Aston Villa.
Four minutes later, Manchester City took advantage of a corner kick opportunity and Kompany scored a header for Manchester City, successfully equalizing the score.
Subsequently, although Manchester City continued to attack and tried to attack, they were never able to break through Aston Villa's goal.
In the end, Manchester City drew 1-1 with Aston Villa away from home.
…
After the game, as Manchester United had been winning consecutive games from the Christmas schedule to the winter break, Ferguson's team was unbeatable, while Manchester City had repeatedly dropped points, and the gap between the two sides continued to narrow.
The outside world is worried about Manchester City's situation, but Guardiola said in an interview with the media that there is no so-called crisis in Manchester City and he firmly believes that the team can overcome the pressure of the Christmas and winter break schedule.
At the same time, Manchester City also firmly believes that rotation is necessary.
Even if we lose points, we must insist on rotation and not rotate. With a schedule like the Premier League, the team will definitely collapse by March and April.
Your physical fitness is simply too much for you. What will you do to challenge for the championship when the time comes?
