Chapter 88 Golden Globes
Different from the previous mode of holding the award ceremony after the top three were announced, after the separation, "French Football" announced the list of 30 players for the Ballon d'Or as early as September.
For Manchester United, with their excellent results last season, many players have been selected for this list, Li Qingshan, Di Maria, Mata, Hummels, De Gea, and Pogba who joined this season Also on this list.
However, among the 30 players, most of the players are accompanying runners. The only ones who really hope to win the Ballon d'Or are these three: Li Qingshan, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Messi.
Needless to say, Li Qingshan, last season's Triple Crown honors, and his explosive scoring statistics at Manchester United, made him selected for this list without any suspense. Hot pick!
However, Li Qingshan's breaking the monopoly of Messi and Ronaldo to win the Golden Ball is actually not a sure thing. His two competitors, Ronaldo and Messi, also performed very well last season.
The first is Ronaldo. Although Real Madrid stopped in the semi-finals of the Champions League, in the subsequent European Cup, Ronaldo led Portugal to a historic championship under unfavorable conditions. With this European Cup championship, Ronaldo is Enough to be the favorite to win the Golden Globes.
Although Messi is inferior in collective honor, in terms of personal data, Messi's data is also against the sky. Since 2016, Messi has scored 49 goals and sent 28 assists in various competitions. Since the 2016-17 season, Messi has helped Barcelona score 11 goals in 14 appearances in various competitions, even more than Real Madrid (data) BBC The combination adds up to 2 more goals.This state, coupled with Messi's past prestige, also gave him enough capital to compete with Li Qingshan and Ronaldo for the Golden Globe.
However, the biggest favorite right now is still Li Qingshan.
No matter in terms of championship honor or personal data, Messi and Ronaldo have no advantage over Li Qingshan.Although there is a European Cup this year, the weight of the European Cup is not much different from that of the Champions League. Of course, in terms of technical content, the Champions League final is now recognized as the highest-level football match in the world.
And after "French Football" and FIFA separated, many ambiguous factors in the Ballon d'Or selection were ruled out.
Regarding the merger of the Golden Globe Award and the International Footballer of the Year award, this "marriage" was not willing from the beginning.Because of its longer history and more professional awards, the Ballon d'Or awarded by "French Football" has always been highly regarded by people in the industry, which makes the existence of FIFA's World Player of the Year a bit embarrassing.Especially after the 2007 Ballon d'Or expanded the scope of selection from all of Europe to the whole world, the two major awards of the Ballon d'Or and FIFA's World Footballer of the Year have truly become homogeneous competitions.Regardless of historical heritage, authority or influence, the World Footballer is at a disadvantage, so FIFA has the idea of spending money to merge the Ballon d'Or.
In 2010, under the initiative of former FIFA President Sepp Blatter, FIFA reached an agreement with "French Football" to combine the two awards into one.According to the subsequent news from the French media, in order to get the opportunity to jointly award with "French Football", FIFA under Blatter's administration paid 1500 million euros to the Amaury Group where he belongs.This merger was interpreted by the outside world as the fact that the originally pure and authoritative Ballon d'Or was directly annexed by FIFA because of the binding of politics and interests.After swallowing the Golden Ball, FIFA has realized the monopoly of the awards, and the judging criteria for the awards are more unified.After the merger, "French Football" lost its dominance over the Ballon d'Or. From the voting to the party, they behaved more like a spectator, which made the proud French unacceptable.The various controversies that occur every year make them unable to hold their heads up.
In fact, as early as 2011, the first year of the merger of FIFA Player of the Year (i.e. World Footballer) and Golden Globe Awards (i.e. European Footballer).At that time, the editor-in-chief of "French Football" magazine and the chairman of the Ballon d'Or jury, Chaumier predicted that this award is likely to only exist for 5 years. "French Football" and FIFA only signed a 5-year contract. After the contract ends, both parties have the right to choose again. The possibility of cooperation. Of course, this is only a possibility." Chaumier's statement also reflects the dissatisfaction within "French Football" about the merger from the beginning.
Although Messi and Ronaldo have won the trophy six times, this award, coveted by many players, is increasingly surrounded by a disgraceful political atmosphere.Messi won the award and was dubbed by fans as being taken care of by "godfather" Platini. Ronaldo's ability to win the Golden Globe is inseparable from Blatter's love.The most memorable thing is that in the 2013 Ballon d'Or selection, Blatter actually released the ultimate trick to extend the voting time. In the end, Ronaldo, who was empty of all four, relied on his efforts in the World Cup qualifiers to finally win the championship. Ribery, the five-time champion Instead, he lost the election.
According to the FIFA selection rules, people can find many ambiguous clauses, such as "the award will be judged according to the overall performance of the players on and off the field".On-court performances are easy to judge, but off-court performances are the murkiest, most political part. ESPN said bluntly, "On this factor alone, Suarez can't even enter the top 23. However, can Messi's charity work cover up the scandal of tax evasion he was involved in? Or, because of Ronaldo's push Fans are as high as 3160 million, so the influence of his 'Ice Bucket Challenge' must be greater than that of Neuer?"
Blatter and his FIFA have always regarded the Ballon d'Or awards as a good opportunity to promote themselves during the past few years.They have made ambiguous rules, arbitrarily postponed the voting time, and various loopholes in counting votes have been criticized.What is even more questionable is that the weight of the national team coach and captain is too high. The reporter voting initiated by "French Football" has always been objective and neutral as the highest criterion, and no favoritism has been seen in the past voting.It is inevitable that the coaches and captains vote for relatives. They are not allowed to vote for their own countrymen, but they can vote for acquaintances in the club!Later, FIFA abolished the rule of "cannot vote for foreigners", so favor tickets became more and more prosperous.
Dissatisfaction has been around for a long time, so when the contract ended, "French Football" decided to part ways with FIFA.
To revive the Golden Globe Awards again, there must be some revisions and innovations.So "French Football" announced that the shortlist is 30 people instead of 23 people, and the practice of announcing that the top three will wait for the final winner to be released is cancelled.What's more worth mentioning is the range of judges. Although they have returned to the journalist camp, their list of journalist judges is no longer limited to Europe.Every member of FIFA can have judges, but among the 208 member countries or associations, not all countries have expert journalists who meet the criteria for selecting the Ballon d'Or, so they have only 180 judges.
On December 12, Gérard Egenes, the current editor-in-chief of "French Football", chanted, "A good day has come for the beloved Ballon d'Or."
Although there are [-] players on the shortlist, everyone knows that there are actually only three people who have the hope of winning the cup.
And "French Football" did not hold an awards ceremony like FIFA. On December 12, French Football announced the final voting results.
Li Qingshan beat Ronaldo, got the votes of most media reporters, and won the Golden Ball!
