Grassroots Glory

The worries of many fans are exactly the same as those of the domestic media.

Ma Xing, a well-known big V on the domestic Internet and the deputy editor-in-chief of Sports Weekly, expressed his opinion on his personal Weibo: When I woke up and got such good news, I am really happy for Zhou Tiancheng and Chinese football. To get this The nomination is not just a pastime like it was many years ago. It’s just that before the final result is announced, it’s best to keep a calm wait and see. Hehe, after all, you understand the operation of FIFA, and everyone understands it...

It is worth mentioning that, counting the predecessor of this award, which is the World Footballer. Zhou Tiancheng is not the first person to receive this nomination! nearly twenty years ago. Gong Lei, a Chinese player studying abroad in the Tahiti League, was nominated as the head coach of the Tahiti national team. But now it's just a joke among fans. Even though the person involved has changed careers and became a guest commentator for CCTV, there is still a joke about Tahiti football king.

Of course, those jokes were more just to amuse everyone, and when Zhou Tiancheng really had the strength to compete for this honor, all kinds of jokes suddenly appeared on the Internet.

However, some fans expressed concern that Zhou Tiancheng's selection this time was just a gimmick, and he was going to accompany others to run.

The biggest reason is the controversy caused by the first Golden Globe Awards two years ago.

The 2010 Ballon d'Or winner was Lionel Messi, which was an afterthought. But many fans think that Sneijder is the most worthy.

The absolute core of Inter Milan's double crown (according to the plot of the book), the absolute hero of the Dutch team's runner-up in the World Cup in South Africa. In terms of performance on the field, that year was the pinnacle of Sneijder's career, and his performance on the field was completely impeccable .

But in the final Ballon d'Or voting, it didn't even make the top three!

Messi's victory surprised everyone even more. He only won the La Liga championship and scored 34 goals in one season. Even if you take a step back, Iniesta won't let people say anything. Everyone knew that Xiaobai played in the club that year. In the World Cup final, the Spanish matador was sent to the top with a sword.

However, both favorites lost, to be precise, they were not lost on the field at all.

They were all defeated on the sidelines. Who made the post-merger Ballon d'Or selection criteria clear? Player and collective performance are just one of them. Player quality, career experience, character and prestige must also be considered...

What does it mean?

To put it bluntly, it is useless to perform well on the field. The last three indicators are left to the head coaches and captains of all Fifa member countries to vote. A jury composed of professional football journalists from all over the world is in charge of judging.

Sneijder lost in the voting at that time. His reputation must be inferior to Messi and Ronaldo, so he lost in the end. The captains and head coaches of countries such as Barbados and Nauru may have never watched Sneijder's performance at all. Naturally, they only remember the names of Messi and Ronaldo, the two world champions.

The majority of Chinese fans are very worried that Zhou Tiancheng will also fall in the pit of Sneijder. After all, he is not like other top stars. With all kinds of promotional packaging, there are naturally not so many opportunities to gain a sense of presence in the world.

In the final analysis, the selection of the Golden Globe Awards is all kinds of fights. Fighting for strength is the foundation, but in addition to fighting for connections in the circle, fighting for background, fighting for media image, fighting for character... and even a little bit of luck.

All in all, you have to fight for everything.

strength,

There is no doubt about Zhou Tiancheng, but with all these factors combined, he basically has no advantage.

To be honest, at this time Chinese fans began to rave about the selection rules of the Ballon d'Or: why only the captain and head coach of the national team have voting rights?

This is the first time that Chinese fans are worried about losing the vote. They really can't help. It would be great if fifa could open the voting channel on the official website!

In terms of the ability to win tickets, Chinese fans have already shown the world that Yao Ming basically didn't play much in the last two years of his retirement, but because of the strength of Chinese fans, he has always firmly occupied the position of the starting center of the NBA Western Conference All-Stars.

But now I can't help, so I can only brush the headlines and worry.

...

Dortmund ended the day's training, and Hummels and Gross Kreutz came together one after another.

Zhou, just tell me tonight, where are you going to hang out? I'll show you around.

How about having a party at my house, Zhou?

Zhou Tiancheng waved his hands again and again: Forget about today, it's just a nomination. When I really win this award, I invite everyone, definitely please.

At noon, everyone already knew the news that Zhou Tiancheng was nominated for the Golden Globe Award, and several activists clamored to get Zhou Tiancheng to have a good time.

How can this be forgotten? No! Definitely not! Just say, do you go to my house and stay drunk, or Kevin is in charge of a dragon? You are about to become the unique king of the ball. Why, we are not allowed Follow Zhanguang?

The surrounding teammates were booing, and Zhou Tiancheng quickly made a gesture of silence: Low-key, low-key, it's just a nomination. Now let's get excited. If you don't get it, it won't be your face.

What are you worried about, Zhou, it's just us together, no matter whether you can win or not, the brothers think you are the best. Hummels said hastily.

Uh... hey, let's talk about it another day, brothers, my wife called to check the guard. Zhou Tiancheng said while picking up his things and running to the underground garage at the gate.

...

Ah Cheng, congratulations, this time you are about to become the best soccer player in the world.

Chu Yunling smiled and looked proudly at the man in front of her. She wanted to open a bottle of red wine to celebrate Zhou Tiancheng, but Zhou Tiancheng firmly stopped her.

Zhou Zhenyong was also there, and he didn't speak at the side, observing Zhou Tiancheng's reaction.

Zhou Tiancheng smiled, turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile, Dad, you definitely don't think so. Actually, I really don't have any hope.

I believe in you, it will definitely be possible. You are such a domineering person on the field, you must have confidence in yourself.

Chu Yunling pouted, Zhou Zhenyong raised his head and stared at his son more seriously.

It's not a matter of confidence. Zhou Tiancheng also knew something about Sneijder's defeat two years ago. At that time, he was very surprised and briefly described it. It depends on the strength, and you have to fight for everything. The one from Barcelona and the one from Real Madrid must surpass me, but I don’t want to accept so many endorsements like them. It’s boring. I didn’t ask for this nomination. , Lost my life, let him go. If you win, you will win the first prize.

Zhou Zhenyong said at this time: If the first prize is so good, I will buy a bet tomorrow. It's not as close as you said. You have a 1/4 chance. It's right not to ask for it, but Maybe it will fall on your head. In the final analysis, football is about strength, and everyone understands your performance.
