Chapter 530 Questioning and Criticism
There is a saying that the European Ballon d'Or focuses more on the player's performance in the club, while the International Footballer pays more attention to the player's performance in the national team, and this statement is still recognized by FIFA.
However, judging from the results of previous selections, it is really not the case at all!
In the previous selections of the World Footballer of the Year, there are not a few people with controversial final results, or as long as the results of the selection of the World Footballer of the Year are inconsistent with the selection of the European Ballon d'Or, then they are all controversial.
For example, the winner of the European Golden Globe Award in 01 was Owen, and the winner of the World Player of the Year was Figo;
The winner of the European Ballon d'Or in 03 was Nedved, and the winner of the World Footballer was Zidane;
They won the World Footballer by virtue of not their performance on the field, but their more famous influence.
No way, the selection mechanism of the World Footballer of the Year is like this. A large part of the selectors will not go to the European League. They are completely free to vote for the superstar in their hearts, that's all.
Therefore, the World Footballer has always been criticized as unprofessional, and this is the root cause.
In fact, even before the World Footballer of the Year vote, FIFA was already worried. Although it is said that dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, and they don’t care much if they are used to being scolded, after all, no one wants to be talked about all the time.
Judging from the predicted results, Ronaldinho will undoubtedly be elected, because just like Ronaldo in the past, although he does not have the honor of the club, there are countless people who like his superb skills.
But the problem is that in the eyes of professionals, Ronaldinho can't compare with the performance of Villa and other stars in the past season. The European Ballon d'Or selection results are the best proof. Ronaldinho is not even in the top three go in.
If the final result is that Ronaldinho is elected, then FIFA will definitely be scolded.
In order to avoid such an embarrassing result, in fact, this time FIFA really did some tricks, mainly to make the World Footballer award look more valuable and professional!
The actual voting result was that Robinson was slightly more than Villa, so FIFA secretly revised the votes and increased Villa's votes.
Originally, Blatter meant to make Villa the new World Footballer of the Year, so that no one would have any doubts. However, under the current mechanism, it is very unfair to Ronaldinho. At the same time, Blatter himself He also likes Ronaldinho very much, so Blatter had an idea and decided to let both of them be elected at the same time!
Although there is no such precedent, but this year marks the centenary of FIFA, and it is just a gimmick to award two world footballers, and all problems will be solved.
He thought so, and did so, but the final result feedback was completely different from what he expected. No one has an opinion here, everyone has an opinion, okay!
Some people support Villa and some support Ronaldinho, which is nothing. The main thing everyone scolds is Blatter's double yolk behavior, which is simply not pleasing to both sides.
In other words, can there really be such a coincidence that the two votes are the same?
This is not obvious, just to tell everyone that your FIFA is playing tricks behind your back!
In the selection of World Player of the Year in 97, there was a situation where two stars were tied, but at that time Bergkamp and Zidane were tied for third place. Because of the low score, no one questioned this, but If No.1 can be tied, it would be too unbelievable.
The reporters tried their best to find out the inside story, but Blatter was the only one who handled the whole incident. He did it himself.
The staff of FIFA knew that it seemed that Ronaldinho had a higher chance of being elected before, but it may also be the influence of Villa's election as the European Footballer of the Year, which led to the two being evenly matched in the end. There is no doubt about this.
"Boss, aren't you happy that I won the honor of World Footballer?" On the plane back to England, David looked out the window in a daze, with neither sad nor happy expression. Villa couldn't help but feel strange, so he asked a little puzzled .
David turned his head, sighed, and said emotionally: "Of course I am happy, but I hope that you will be elected alone instead of sharing it with Ronaldinho!"
"I think it's okay. Even if I share this honor with others, I'm already in this position. I'm very satisfied!" Villa smiled, and there was no trace of dissatisfaction or frustration in his smile.
"Okay, as long as you're happy!"
This time, many fans greeted us at the airport, and this time, many people held banners, "Villa, you are the only and the best one!"
Obviously, the fans of Notts County are also dissatisfied with the double yolk egg offered by FIFA. In their hearts, how can Ronaldinho be qualified to share the honor of World Footballer of the Year with Villa!
Villa went home with his World Player of the Year trophy, but David went straight back to the club, and the editor-in-chief of the "Daily Telegraph" was also waiting for him at the club. This time, David really decided not to Silence again.
He didn't know that Blatter had worked so hard to come up with such an absurd result. He only knew that this so-called World Footballer had no fairness or professionalism at all!
"It's hard to imagine such an unbelievable result at the awards ceremony that the world is watching, or I prefer to believe that all this is just a dream!"
"Why does everyone think that the selection of the European Ballon d'Or is far more professional than FIFA's World Footballer of the Year selection?"
"Because the selection results of the European Golden Globe Awards are more convincing!"
"Villa's magical performance last season is obvious to all. Whether in the Premier League or the UEFA Cup last season, which was comparable to the Champions League last season, he has a dominant performance on the front line. Notts County is also under his leadership. Won the Premier League and UEFA Cup double!"
"It's hard to imagine that such a player can't be the unique one in the selection. Could it be that the World Cup is more important this summer, and then Brazil won the World Cup again?"
"Sorry, in my past summer, there was no World Cup, but only a European Championship where the Brazilian team could not participate!"
"Ronaldo is a superstar, yes, but last season he didn't lead Barcelona to any results. I don't understand why so many people vote for the Brazilian, just because he is more famous, he His game skills are more gorgeous?"
"If it's really just a competition of individual football skills, then what kind of competition is needed, just let the players get together to show off their footwork, and whoever plays better will be the World Footballer. In that case, Those streetball players will be very happy!"
"The selection of the World Player of the Year has lost its real meaning in my opinion. If FIFA still can't see this, then maybe it won't be long before this selection will become an entertainment-like selection!"
"The last thing I want to say is that Villa is the best, he is the only World Player of the Year title winner!"
