Chapter 751 FIFA Awards Ceremony
The Champions League draw is over, but the Champions League can only be put aside for the time being, because the Champions League round of 16 will not start until February. Before that, the attention of each team must return to the league.
Before Christmas, Notts County still has two games, and then the league will start again immediately after Christmas on the 26th. There is no time to enjoy the festive atmosphere, but as professional players, the players are still mentally prepared for this.
On the 17th, Notts County easily defeated Charlton at home and continued to lead the standings.
On the 21st, in the quarter-finals of the League Cup, Notts County met the very tenacious Charlton at home.
As a team in the upper mid-range of the current Premier League strength ranking, Charlton has a very clear goal every season, striving for a place in the UEFA Cup and doing its best to win a cup. Bolton's performance in the cup in the past few seasons is very good. Even if the game is away to Notts County, there is no reason to back down.
Bolton, who was fully fired, did cause a lot of trouble for Notts County at the Magpie Stadium. One reason was that Notts County did not fully send out the main lineup. The other reason was that Bolton played very resolutely on the defensive counterattack. ahead of Nottsshire.
Of course, there are also reasons for the players to relax before Christmas. However, Loew's merciless criticism in the locker room during the intermission adjusted the players' loose mentality, and strengthened their awareness of the scene in the second half. Control, finally eliminated the opponent and advanced to the semi-finals of the League Cup.
After this game, Loew gave the players two days off, but the two days off was before Christmas. The team will regroup on Christmas day, which is also impossible.
At this time, England is in a strong Christmas atmosphere, but the World Footballer of the Year award still attracts the attention of all fans. Even though it is recognized that the World Footballer of the Year is not as professional as the European Ballon d'Or, it is obviously more influential in terms of influence. outperformed.
This time, the FIFA 2005 awards ceremony was still held at the Zurich Opera House. More than 1000 guests participated, 150 media reported on the spot, and it was televised to 160 countries. The awards ceremony was hosted by former England striker Ian Wright and former Swiss Ms. Mateus's ex-wife Morena presides.
The theme of this year's awards ceremony is "Football Meets Dance". Football meets opera", something completely irrelevant, neither fish nor fowl.
However, this does not affect David's appearance at the award ceremony, because this time, Villa has a great chance of winning.
It is also ironic to say that in last year's European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year selection, Villa, who actually performed better, won the European Ballon d'Or, while Ronaldinho insisted on sharing it with Villa because of his popularity and influence. This shows the difference in emphasis between the two selection rules.
However, in this year's European Ballon d'Or selection, Ronaldinho defeated Villa with his alien performance, and the gap between the two was very small.
But in this selection of the World Footballer of the Year, Villa's voice for stability was the highest. The situation was completely reversed, which really confused many people.
The reason is also very simple. If you simply compare the performance, maybe Ronaldinho has a better chance of winning the award, but in the selection of the World Footballer of the Year, the player's fame and influence will undoubtedly occupy a very large proportion. Villa has already won last year's award. The double football player is no longer unknown. After a year of fermentation, Villa's reputation is even greater than that of Ronaldinho.
Coupled with the full promotion of the sponsors and the Notts County Club, Villa even vaguely has the title of the world's number one football star.
So this time Villa's call to win the championship is higher than that of Ronaldinho.
For this situation, although Villa is happy in his heart, he is quite speechless. If he can choose, he would rather win the European Ballon d'Or than the World Footballer of the Year.
In any case, Villa may become the biggest winner this time, and once Villa defends the title of World Footballer, he will truly become the world's number one superstar.
Similar to the European Ballon d'Or, in the list of 30 candidates announced before, Notts County, which performed the most strongly last season, had 8 candidates, breaking all previous records and creating an incredible miracle.
In addition to Villa, the biggest favorite to win the championship, Deco, Robben and Franck Ribery, who were among the top five last season, also successfully entered the shortlist. Team captain Alonso relied on his stable performance Also selected for the first time, the midfielder Kaka has the strength of the top ten, Carvalho may be the top defender candidate, and there is also the transfer of Ronaldinho, of course, if Lahm does not transfer Will leave, then Notts County has 9 players on the list.
David didn't care about some previous tasteless awards, but he still applauded the winners politely. What really interested David was the former Swedish referee Frisk, the winner of the "Chairman's Special Award".
Last season's Champions League quarter-finals first leg, Frisk blew the whistle for Barcelona's home game against Chelsea. After the game, Chelsea coach Mourinho accused Rijkaard of "illegally touching" Ferris during the break. Risk, for which there was a lot of trouble, Mourinho was also punished by UEFA, Frisk was also made things difficult by the English media, and finally announced "hanging the whistle" angrily.
David doesn't understand Blatter's actions. Is he trying to set a good example or give certain forces some eye drops?
Maybe he was born without the talent of a politician, and he really didn't understand the twists and turns in it.
Afterwards, the German women's football player Prinz was elected Miss World Football. This is the third year in a row that she won the title. This selection is almost becoming a game for him alone!
Of course, the final highlight is the announcement of the results of the World Player of the Year selection. When Villa, the vice president of FIFA, stepped onto the stage, David had clearly felt the tension of Villa.
No matter how much Villa said he didn't care, how could there be no fluctuations at this juncture. This is the highest honor for a professional player.
Villa first introduced the top three players in the world, namely Villa from Notts County, Ronaldinho from Barcelona, and Lampard from Chelsea. He played a phenomenal performance, but everyone knows that this time he is definitely a runner, and No.3 will belong to him without any suspense.
