Chapter 308 The best player in Europe

Regarding the draw results of Manchester United, many people think that Manchester United got a super gift package. The British News Agency reported that compared to the opponents drawn by Manchester City, Manchester United's opponents are much easier. The Swiss champion Basel and the Romanian mysterious team Galati Steel are not enough to pose a threat to Manchester United.

Not only the media are advocating this, but also the team coach Ferguson thinks this way. As soon as the draw was over, the old man told the media in an interview: "Not bad, not bad."

If Sir Alex had a beard, he would probably shake his head and stroke his beard.

In the eyes of many people, unlike last year when they had to face tough opponents like Valencia and Rangers, Manchester United's three group stage opponents this year, Benfica, Basel and Galatti, are obviously a notch weaker.

However, Bell knew that this season, Manchester United was stunned by this recognized gift package. In the end, not only did they fail to win the first place in the group, they did not even qualify, and could only finish third in the group. Playing in the Europa League.

However, Bell did not appear too worried. As people have said, there is really a big gap between the strength of the other three teams in this group compared to Manchester United. Manchester United would be eliminated in another time and space. In addition to their own carelessness, there were also many surprises.

There are many differences between Manchester United today and Manchester United in the past, especially with its own existence. I guess as long as you pay attention to it, let alone ensuring the first place in the group, there will be no big problem in qualifying for the group.

With the UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony over, the meeting agenda has reached the most exciting moment, which is to select the best UEFA player of last season.

In the past, the selection of the European Footballer Ballon d'Or (Best Player in Europe) was organized by France Football magazine. However, with the merger of the European Footballer selection and the FIFA World Footballer, UEFA took advantage of the situation and launched the Best Player in Europe selection. This also means competing with the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

In previous years, UEFA would select five awards including best goalkeeper, best defender, best midfielder, best forward and best player. This year, the reason why the best player in Europe was selected separately is because the FIFA Golden Ball at the beginning of the year There are too many controversies in the award selection. Barcelona superstar Messi incredibly beat two club teammates Xavi and Iniesta to become the winner of the first FIFA Ballon d'Or. He helped Inter Milan win the Triple Crown and led the Netherlands to the World Cup. Sneijder, who led the mediocre Tottenham Hotspur team to win the first annual Grand Slam in England's history, and Bale, who scored 65 goals in one year, both failed to make the top three.

After Messi won the first FIFA Ballon d'Or, UEFA President Platini was also very angry. He believed that the selection of the best player by FIFA and "France Football" magazine was unfair, so he founded UEFA. The European Ballon d'Or awarded by the United Nations.

The European Golden Ball Award founded by UEFA is very different from the previous European Golden Ball Award hosted by "France Football" magazine. The former award is awarded at the beginning of the new season, and the selection criteria is the player's performance in the past season. , the latter is awarded in the middle of the season, and the selection criteria is the player's performance over the past year.

Since most of the mainstream European leagues span multiple years, the European Ballon d'Or awarded by UEFA is more reasonable.

UEFA officials revealed that the selection scope for the new European Ballon d'Or is based on players who play in various football leagues under UEFA. Football journalists from 53 European countries and regions will vote. The three players with the highest vote rate will be selected. Participate in the final competition, and then 53 reporters will conduct an on-site vote. The player with the highest votes will win the European Golden Globe Award.

A month ago, UEFA officially announced the first UEFA Best Player candidate list, and Bale, Messi and Ronaldo became the final three candidates.

As of now, he played 50 times for Manchester United last season and scored 68 goals while also providing 35 assists. He led Manchester United to win the Champions League, Premier League, League Cup, and FA Cup, becoming an unprecedented four. Bell, the champion, has the highest voice for winning the best player.

In fact, in the past season, Bell not only performed superbly at Manchester United, but also performed beyond imagination in the national team competition, scoring 6 goals in 5 appearances. Among them, in the 2012 European Cup qualifiers, Bell played 4 times for the Welsh men's football team, scoring 5 goals and 1 assist, helping the weak Welsh men's football team achieve 2 wins and 2 losses, beating the powerful Switzerland. , ranked third in the group, still maintaining hope of qualifying.

After donating one million euros to the Street Football League, the three best player candidates Bale, Messi and Ronaldo took the podium together.

The process of taking the stage was very interesting. Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo, two people with Manchester United backgrounds, walked side by side in front, communicating quietly as they walked. Messi, who came from Barcelona, ​​walked a little lonely. Behind the two men.

Bell and Ronaldo are already more than a head taller than Messi. They walked in front, and the relatively short Messi looked even shorter behind them.

Arriving on the stage, Cristiano Ronaldo stood on Bell's right side. Messi, who followed closely, hesitated and stood on Bell's left hand side.

The two hosts began to interview the three candidates. Pinto first interviewed Ronaldo, mainly about his goals last season. The Portuguese also scored more than 50 goals at Real Madrid last season. He is also the only player in the five major European leagues, besides Bale and Messi, to score more than 50 goals for the club.

In the 2010-2011 season, Cristiano Ronaldo represented Real Madrid in La Liga 34 times and scored 40 goals; in the Champions League 12 times and scored 6 goals; in the Copa del Rey 8 times and scored 7 goals, the total number of goals was the same as Messi. He scored 53 goals, but he fell short of the club's honors and only won one Copa del Rey.

This past season can be called the craziest scoring season in football history. There were actually three players who scored more than 50 goals for the club in one season.

Later, Melanie interviewed Messi again. The focus was that Messi led Barcelona to win three consecutive La Liga championships. Of course, Messi's personal performance is not bad either. The Argentinian played 55 times for Barcelona, ​​scoring a crazy 53 goals and assisting 24 times, and won the La Liga Silver Boot Award and the Champions League Silver Boot Award.

In the end, both hosts interviewed Bell separately. Pinto focused on Bell leading Manchester United to an unprecedented four crowns, while Melanie asked questions about Bell's almost crazy personal performance.

Then it’s time to vote. After on-site voting and statistics, Bell won the first European Player of the Year hosted by UEFA with an absolute advantage of 38 votes.
