The strongest winger

Chapter 900 FIFA Ballon d'Or

Aiello won the Puskas Goal of the Year Award, and the recipient of the award for him was still David Silva, who followed coach Ancelotti to the Zurich Opera House in Switzerland, the headquarters of FIFA.

The time difference between Qatar’s local time and Central European time is three hours, so it was almost eleven o’clock when the Puskas Goal of the Year Award was awarded. Thinking of the second round of the Asian Cup group match against the host the next day, the teammates in Aiello’s room played around for a while and then returned to their rooms to recharge their batteries and prepare for tomorrow’s group match.

Before the game, they decided in private that they would create the best record in the history of the Chinese team participating in the Asian Cup in the group stage of this Asian Cup --- three consecutive victories!
If you want to get good grades, you need to be in good spirits!
All his teammates left, Ai Luo glanced at his roommate Gao Lin who was all focused on his mobile phone, and shook his head. He knew 90.00% that this guy was interested in the little intern girl from Shenzhen TV, so Ai Luo didn't bother Gao Lin who was in a crazy unrequited love, and cleaned up the messy room by himself.

When Ai Luo stretched his waist and was about to turn off the TV, the FIFA Ballon d'Or awards ceremony just entered the final stage, that is, the winner of the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

Ai Luo glanced at the time on the wall, it was just a few minutes after eleven o'clock in the evening Qatar time, and he didn't care about these minutes when he slept.

The three candidates are last year's World Cup Golden Globe winner David Villa in South Africa, Cristiano Ronaldo who led Manchester United to the FA Cup, the Premier League title and the Champions League title, and Leo Messi who led Barcelona to the La Liga title, the Copa del Rey title and the Champions League runner-up.

It can be said that the advantages and disadvantages of the three are obvious. David Villa's performance is mainly in the national team competitions, without a good continuity. The La Liga performance in the first half of the 2010-2011 season is good, but his overall score cannot be raised. After all, the La Liga performance in the 2009-2010 season is sluggish, so this is the only place that limits him.

Cristiano Ronaldo did a perfect job throughout the 2009-2010 season. The team won various championships. He also won the top scorer in the Premier League and the best striker in the Champions League. His performance in the first half of the 2010-2011 season in La Liga was also quite good. He scored 18 goals in 30 league rounds, even more goals than other league Golden Boot winners in the entire season. The problem is that his performance in the World Cup in South Africa last year was relatively sluggish. Totally different.

Leo Messi's performance throughout 2010 can be said to be relatively average. He won La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League runner-up. He is only slightly inferior to Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of honor, but his resume in the World Cup is much stronger than Cristiano Ronaldo.

Therefore, the result of the selection of the winner of the first FIFA Ballon d'Or is very difficult to decide, and any player selected will cause dissatisfaction among all parties.

Of course, if David Villa performed well enough for the club in 2010, it would be a different matter. The election is definitely well-deserved.

But the problem is that the club results of Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi are the two best performers throughout the year, which are more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than David Villa's brilliant summer.

On the eve of the awards ceremony, the Spanish media broke the news that there was a problem with the votes for the final winner of the co-organized FIFA Ballon d'Or, because many small countries have voting rights, which is completely different from the European Ballon d'Or selected by the previous "French Football" magazine, which is much less professional.

Therefore, there are many Spanish media speculations that David Villa will not be able to overwhelm Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi with a chance to shine in the summer.

As the big screen introduced the three candidates for the FIFA Ballon d'Or, the camera cut to the faces of David Villa, Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi.

From the screen, the expressions of the three of them were slightly nervous.

The past three European Ballon d'Ors and the four World Player of the Year awards were all monopolized by Aiello. It was hard to take advantage of Aiello's serious injury to successfully brush his face before he was able to advance to the final three-person candidate list, and his biggest enemy Aiello was shut out of the selection gate, which indirectly increased the chances of the three of them being elected to the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

Because in the past few years Ai Luo has been the focus of world football attention, even those countries or regions that don’t pay much attention to football or football lags behind know Ai Luo. If Ai Luo is included in the final three-person candidate list this time, then they can use their toes to think that Ai Luo can win the election by brushing his face.

Closer to home, after the big screen introduced the candidates, the award presenter Hierro held a sealed envelope and Denis Chaumier, editor-in-chief of "French Football", followed FIFA President Sepp Blatter to the podium.

At this time, the bodies of David Villa and Cristiano Ronaldo shook.

Hierro's identity is more complicated. He was the captain of Spain and the captain of Real Madrid in the past. His award means that the winner is likely to be between David Villa and Cristiano Ronaldo, so Messi's expression was stunned for a moment.

Blatter and Denis Chaumier briefly spoke a few words, and then focused on Hierro, who was in charge of revealing the suspense.

Aiello and everyone's focus is exactly the same, and he also wants to know who the winner of the first FIFA Ballon d'Or is...

Is it awarded to Messi according to the historical trajectory, or to Cristiano Ronaldo with perfect club statistics, or to David Villa with the best performance in the national team?

All suspense is buried in the dark envelope Hierro is opening.

During the period when Hierro opened the envelope, Cristiano Ronaldo, David Villa, and Messi were all very nervous. Deep down in their hearts, they were all looking forward to the most lucrative personal glory in their careers. Thinking of the suspense that would be revealed in a few seconds, they couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts.

According to the report of the sister newspaper "L'Equipe" of "French Football", "Whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo, Leo Messi, or David Villa, this may be their only chance to be elected in their careers, because the honor in the past three years belongs to one person. With his serious injury at the end of 2009, he missed the whole season, and the attention was far away from him. Should the perfect Ai run for glory? The answer is naturally that there is a chance, but the chance is so small that it can be ignored, so if the three of them want to win the highest personal honor in their careers, it depends on the announcement of the suspense of the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or..."

While the three of them were wandering in the void, the famous Hierro had already opened the envelope, and everyone's focus was on the card in his hand.

"- Cristiano Ronaldo!"

Hierro read the name of the card in the envelope and turned the card over.

The next moment, all attention was on the high-spirited Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ai Luo, who was watching the live TV, sighed slightly, and pressed the remote control switch.

Picking up the phone on the bedside table, I replied to my girlfriend Taylor and some friends to send greeting text messages, and then edited text messages to the winner Cristiano Ronaldo and the loser David Villa.

After the sending, Ai Luo turned his attention to his roommate Gao Lin. What he didn't expect was that Gao Lin, who was still excitedly sending text messages just now, had already fallen asleep...

※※※

David Villa was very disappointed that he did not win the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or. At the golden age of 29, he won the World Cup with the national team. For the first time in his career, he entered the three candidates for the FIFA Ballon d'Or, but...he was still missed in the end. He also knew that he would not have this opportunity in the future.

Let alone his age, he is about to enter the late stage of his career. With Ai Luo's halo in front of him, who can pay attention to him?

To put it bluntly, if Ai Luo is not seriously injured and misses the game for half a year, it is unknown whether he can enter the final list of three candidates.

It can be said that David Villa's regretful miss this time will become the regret of his life.

Similarly, Messi is also very disappointed. He missed the glory of the FIFA Ballon d'Or this time, and he doesn't know when he will wait until the next time...

In the past half of the 2010-2011 La Liga season, Aiello's performance can be said to be the most eye-catching player in the entire La Liga and even Europe. In Messi's subconscious, it is simply impossible to surpass such a perfect Ailuo. Maybe...the next time he becomes a popular candidate is when Aiello is seriously injured...

While he knows he can't expect to be opportunistic when he gets his personal top honor, Aiello feels like he's unbeatable.

The next day, almost all the global media focus was on the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or Awards Ceremony held last night in Zurich, FIFA headquarters.

Most of the Spanish media commented that the vote was unfair. They believed that David Villa deserved the FIFA Ballon d’Or because last year was the World Cup year, and the weight of the World Cup champion is much more important than the Premier League champion, the FA Cup champion and the Champions League champion combined.

The Catalan media and the Argentine media believe that this selection is unfair. According to the overall results, Messi is the most deserving FIFA Ballon d'Or...

The English media and the Portuguese media believed that the election of Cristiano Ronaldo was very normal. In 2006, Aiello was caught in the World Cup.
