ball at foot

The dust from the selection of the Golden Globe Awards can be regarded as a settlement for Zhao Yaning's heart. Although lngn is still a little disappointed, but after all, this result has long been psychologically prepared, and it will not make him too uncomfortable.

But what upsets him is that after this matter is over, there will be the World Footballer of the Year selection next week.Zhao Yaning knew that the World Footballer valued fame more, and he probably had no chance to play. Therefore, he simply didn’t even think about the award.Obviously, they are all hopeless selections, and they have to participate in two award presentations separately.Lost is not enough, and a second time has to come, which is really tossing people.

Compared with those things, he hopes to get more league points.After all, the competition in the Premier League is fierce now, and the FA Cup will start soon. Liverpool also have to consider accumulating more points. Such points are not very satisfactory.

But fortunately, it is now a rare time for Liverpool to fight in a single line, and this happens to be a great time to grab points.

In the No. 18 round of the league, in the home game against Newcastle, Liverpool once again sent a 4231 formation.Zhao Yaning still served as the shadow forward behind Milito. [

The process of the game, however, was not very smooth. No.30 In the second minute, Newcastle scored their first goal relying on the cooperation of Bowyer and Kluivert to take the lead at Anfield.

But only 2 minutes later, Zhao Yaning took a corner kick and gave the ball to Hyypia in front.Hyypia hit the goal successfully with a head shake, helping Liverpool equalize the score.

And 5 minutes later, when Zhao Yaning broke through the middle, he passed the ball to Garcia on the right side of the penalty area.Garcia kicked the goal low and flattened the goal, reversing the score for Liverpool.

"This is the first time Liverpool has reversed this season? Wouldn't they not be able to play now without a reversal?"

The narrator's ridicule did not change the situation.Alonso in the midfield almost completely controlled the game. Although Bowyer exhausted his strength, he still couldn't guard him.In the second half, No. 408 minutes, Garcia's cross was blocked by Janus with his hand, which also won a penalty for Liverpool.

This time, it was Kewell standing on the penalty spot, and after a few small runs, he kicked the ball into the goal.

The 3-1 score is already very safe, but Liverpool has not let it go.In the 60th minute, Kewell kicked a through ball and gave Milito a chance. He kicked in front of the goal and once again expanded the score for Liverpool.

After 4-1, Benitez also replaced Zhao Yaning and Kewell.After all, Zhao Yaning will go to the FIFA awards ceremony with him after this game.Running back and forth is not easy, and Benitez is unwilling to make Zhao Yaning overworked.

Although Zhao Yaning knew that he would be useless in this selection of the World Footballer of the Year, he still had to go.Because besides being a candidate for World Footballer of the Year, he also has another award to receive—because the Chinese national team won the AFC Champions League and also reached the quarter-finals, the Chinese team's world ranking climbed all the way to No. 32, which made the Chinese team win the most improved award of the year. As the captain of the Chinese national team, he had to go to receive the award on behalf of the national team.

This trip to Zurich, he had to go.

But just before he left, he was stunned by a piece of news: Ronaldinho, Henry, and Zhao Yaning were among the top three candidates from FIFA.

No Shevchenko.Golden Globe winner, World Footballer, not in the top three——

"The winner of this year's World Footballer of the Year is Ronaldinho! He has won the world in a completely different way. He has shown us the charm of football in a way that is not taught in textbooks."

When Blatter read out his name, the audience burst into applause. No one could have any objection to this name.In terms of performance, there are many champions in the world every year, but Ronaldinho has only one in the world.Comparing results, many people can say that they are better than him, but when it comes to beautiful football, everyone in this world can only feel ashamed in front of him.

No matter who it is, after seeing Ronaldinho's football in his peak period, he can only be convinced.What he plays is different from others, it is another realm.

Immediately, Blatter announced No.2: "Thierry Henry."

Compared with Ronaldinho's cheerful expression, Henry was a little unhappy.He was No.2 last year and No.2 in a row. There is nothing to be happy about.

"The third is... Zhao Yaning. Let us congratulate this player. The development of Asian football is also what each of us has been looking forward to for a long time."

And when the camera showed Zhao Yaning, Zhao Yaning still had an expression of disbelief.How could it be him? [

If No.3 is him, doesn't it mean that the Golden Globe winner Sheva was not among the top three in the selection of the World Footballer?

This is too ridiculous.

But Zhao Yaning didn't know that at this time, in China, tv5 was broadcasting the awards ceremony live. After the news came out, it immediately aroused the cheers of the fans.

But at this time, the Italian media all looked dissatisfied.How can Zhao Yaning squeeze Shevchenko?

At this time, the attention at the scene also secretly clenched their fists.

Shevchenko was able to win the Golden Globe Award. After all, did he rely on the votes of journalists from Italy, Milan, and Eastern Europe?

If you have journalists swiping votes, then don't blame us for having national team swiping votes.Shevchenko has been complaining, saying that he is not to blame for the failure of the Ukrainian national team to achieve results, but Zhao Yaning's Chinese team has broken records and won a lot of honors.

Zhang Yuan knew in his heart that basically all the votes in Asia were voted for Zhao Yaning.Although everyone usually has a lot of conflicting opinions, and there are constant disputes within the AFC, but when it comes time to unite to vote, the AFC will not have any disputes: after all, this is a matter of embarrassment to the entire AFC.

In addition, it is estimated that Zhao Yaning's votes from Africa are also indispensable, which is related to the work above.

Zhao Yaning received this support because he also had a choice.Zhao Yaning is also a strong contender for this year's Lawrence Awards for Best Newcomer.The higher authorities wanted to support Liu Xiang in winning the Lawrence Award, so they gave Zhao Yaning some benefits.

However, even so, Zhao Yaning's votes are still extremely disparate.Ronaldinho has more than 600 votes, Henry 550 votes, Zhao Yaning No. 3, but not even 300 votes.

This also made Zhang Yuan see how difficult it is for Asians to win an award.Ning Zi looks confident every day, can he really do it?

Zhao Yaning unexpectedly won No.3 in the World Footballer of the Year selection, which made the Italian media extremely dissatisfied with this.Shevchenko won the Golden Globe Award, but did not win the top three in the world footballer. Such a shame is really a bit big.

"Zhaochao just relied on the honor he stole when the giants took a nap last year. Why can he be ranked first in Sheva?"

At other times, the Italian media has developed a fixed pattern of speaking for Shevchenko.One sentence, because he is a Ukrainian, no one in the national team is underestimated, even if the defense is completed.

But now, complaining about the national team's problems in front of Zhao Yaning is obviously asking for trouble.And last year's honor was really speechless, so they had less to complain about.

"Zhaochao's true strength can be seen by looking at the record of Liverpool under his leadership. We very much hope that Liverpool and Milan will meet once in the Champions League, and let Sheva personally tell Zhao Yaning what a star is."

The words of the Italian media have considerable confidence.Although Milan lost last year, they are still the strongest team in Europe after all. After all, there is a huge gap in strength between Liverpool and those who only climbed ashore in the last round of the group stage.And Italy doesn't care about it every time, how many stars Milan has, is it an honor to bully Liverpool?

And this time is indeed the time for the Champions League draw. Because of the avoidance principle, what Liverpool need to avoid is Monaco in the same group, as well as Arsenal and Chelsea.The opponents they face are the top three in the north of Italy and Leverkusen, one of Lyon.

It is not impossible to get Milan.

But obviously, what the Italian media expected did not happen.In the draw for Liverpool, Leverkusen was drawn.

This is a signature. [

Leverkusen mentors also have good strength. Players such as Berbatov, Voronin, Ponte, Franza, Krnovic, Flair, and Donovan are quite good.

But compared to the top three in the north and Lyon, they are indeed only a weak team.There is no need to talk about the three Italian teams, even if Lyon's strength is higher than that of Liverpool, it can be said that it is firmly above them.Among these opponents, if you have to pick the weakest one, Leverkusen is the best opponent to deal with.

The draws of the other four teams in the Premier League had different luck.Manchester United's signing luck is obviously the worst one, and the opponent they drew is Milan.The odds of this season, Juventus first, Chelsea second, Milan third.Meeting such a team, for Manchester United, it is better to meet Juventus. After all, Juventus can be regarded as an old enemy, while Milan is completely unfamiliar.

And Arsenal's luck is slightly better. Their opponent is Bayern Munich.Although Bayern is also a strong team in the Bundesliga, their strength has declined sharply since the new century, and their strength is far inferior to Arsenal.

And Chelsea's luck is even better, their opponent is Barcelona.After all, Barcelona has been away from the Champions League knockout for many years, and the core player Ronaldinho has never played in the Champions League. Their strength is not very strong.Facing a tycoon like Chelsea, Barcelona probably won't be able to survive.

"The England team is in good shape, and we can go further in Europe."

For such a situation, the media also made optimistic estimates.

And Zhao Yaning also felt that this situation was very good in his heart: just let yourself see how far he can take Liverpool.
