Football King Bale

When Bale said he hoped 2013 would be as great as 2012, the eyes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi next to him were eye-catching.

Cristiano Ronaldo rolled his eyes and looked at Bale, his eyes seemed to say that if you keep doing this, our friendship will be over!

Messi, on the other hand, looked shocked, as if to say, can you be a human being for once?

Then the reporter asked Bell whether he voted for Messi and Ronaldo. Regarding such a divisive question, Bell did not avoid it, but answered directly. He said: "There are too many people in international football today. Excellent players, such as my club teammates Wesley, Wayne, Robin, etc., are all good enough and are eligible to win the Ballon d'Or. But just in 2012, Leo and Chris It was definitely better, so I voted for them."

The reporter noticed the key words in Bell's words and asked, "Who is the best?"

Bell laughed and said, "Do you need to ask such an obvious question?"

There was also a lot of laughter at the scene.

After Bale answered the question, Messi and Ronaldo were also asked questions by reporters.

As the captain of Argentina, Messi was also asked about voting. He also answered the question head-on, saying: "Gareth last year was absolutely unique. Xavi and Iniesta were my teammates. I will vote for him." Giving it to them is an affirmation of them. Not voting for Ronaldo does not mean that he is not among the top three in the world, but the number of places is really limited."

Then he jokingly suggested that today's Golden Globe Awards should be like the previous Golden Globe Awards, where one person can vote for five people, otherwise it would be really difficult to vote.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who is also the captain of the national team, was also asked this question. Cristiano Ronaldo's answer surprised reporters because Cristiano Ronaldo did not participate in the voting because in the last Portuguese national team game last year, Cristiano Ronaldo was He was not selected for the national team due to eye disease, so he was not the captain of the national team when the voting was conducted, so naturally he could not vote.

………………

At seven o'clock in the evening local time in Zurich, the Zurich International Exhibition Center was brightly lit and bustling with people. Stars from all walks of life gathered from all over Zurich to attend the upcoming FIFA Ballon d'Or Awards ceremony.

At eight o'clock in the evening, when two familiar faces Gullit and Kai Mori took the podium, the awards ceremony officially began.

After a simple opening remarks, the first to appear were the three candidates for Miss World Football. Marta, who has won the title of Miss Football World Champion for five consecutive years, was the first to appear, followed closely by Alex Morgan, the beautiful striker of the U.S. Women's Football Team, and the final appearance was Abi (Lara), another killer of the U.S. Women's Football Team. ) Wambach.

After the three women's football "powerhouses" appeared, they quickly took their seats in the audience, and the three most popular superstars in world football followed suit. Cristiano Ronaldo took the lead, followed by Messi, the boy next door, and Bale, the man with 100 goals, made the final appearance.

The order of appearance of the three Miss World Football candidates and the three Ballon d'Or candidates has actually revealed a lot.

Then the three goals selected for the 2012 Puskas Award were introduced. This time, Bell was not selected. Although he scored many beautiful goals in the past year, for such a consolation award , Bell is no longer needed.

………………

Tonight's awards will begin immediately. The best eleven are still awarded first. The presenters were the former European Ballon d'Or winner, Ukrainian legend Sheva, and UEFA President Vladimir Putin.

Gullit asked the two award presenters questions in English and then began to award the awards.

Although Casillas was benched a lot in the second half of the year due to the breakdown of his relationship with Mourinho, he was still elected the best goalkeeper without any doubt.

In fact, Casillas was elected because of the fact that De Gea's position at Manchester United was not stable in the past year. In addition, he basically did not get any playing opportunities in the European Cup.

It makes sense that Casillas cannot compete.

As for Hennessey, the goalkeeper of the European Cup champion Wales and Bell's national team teammate, he also missed the opportunity because his performance in the club was mediocre and his reputation was too low.

The four defenders are occupied by Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid's Ramos and Marcelo, and Barcelona's Alves and Pique. Although Manchester United continued to kill everyone in the past year, it unprecedentedly defended the league and domestic titles. The honor of winning five titles in the Cup, Champions League, European Super Cup and Club World Cup, but this year, Manchester United's defensive performance was very disappointing. Evra, Vidic and Ferdinand, who can be the mainstay of Manchester United's back line, , their performance lacked stability, so despite their great reputation, they still failed to compete with several defenders from Real Madrid and Barcelona.

As for the defense of the European Cup champion Wales, it is because the players are generally not well-known and their performance in the club is relatively average. They also missed the 23-man roster, let alone the best eleven list.

Generally speaking, the reputation of goalkeepers and defense players is still much lower than that of midfielders and frontcourt players, because none of these five players is in the top ten in terms of vote share.

According to the announced vote rates of 23 people, Bale, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Iniesta, Xavi, Rooney, Sneijder, Robin van Persie, Falcao and Pirlo ranked first to tenth.

The defense line has finished playing, followed by the three midfielders. The midfielder is the second-most ranked forward after entering the top ten. In the end, the highest-ranked Barcelona midfield duo of Iniesta and Xavi, together with Manchester United's midfield commander Sneijder, were successfully selected, while Pierre Midfield superstars such as Luo Luo, Alonso, and Goldfish Eyes were not included in the best eleven.

Of course, compared to midfielders, the competition is more intense for forwards. There are six players selected into the top ten forward positions with the highest vote rate, but only three can be selected into the best eleven. This means that three superstars who are shortlisted in the top ten with the highest vote rate cannot be included in the best eleven list.

In fact, the three best players at the forward position are also the least controversial, because the top three vote-getters are all in this position.

Surprisingly, Bell was selected as the best center this year, not the best left winger last year. This may be due to the fact that Bell often appeared in the center position when he led Wales to win the European Cup. .

Then, the left winger is Ronaldo, and the right winger is Messi.

Each of the best eleven who came out to receive the award brought a ball boy, which is a reflection of FIFA's wishes.

Highlights of the best eleven's games over the past year began to play on the big screen, and the winners began to leave.

………………

After the best eleven left with their awards, the next award began to be announced: best women's football coach. Pia, who is currently the head coach of the Swedish women's football team and led the United States team to win the women's football gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics, received this honor. Pia also served as an assistant coach for the Oriental women's football team.

After the best women's football coach award, the best men's football coach award was also announced. Chris Coleman, who led the "underdog" Wales to an upset victory in the European Cup and created the "Welsh Miracle"; Ferguson, who led the Red Devils and Manchester United to an unprecedented defense of five crowns; and Mourinho, who led Real Madrid to break Barcelona's dominance in La Liga. Rinho became the final three candidates.

After voting, Coleman finally defeated Ferguson and won the best men's football coach in 2012.

However, according to the announced vote rate, Coleman's victory was a fluke. His final vote rate was 33.37%, which was only 0.2 percentage points higher than second-placed Ferguson!

In fact, all voters have a headache for this year's best coach selection. Coleman's performance was absolutely great when he led the weak Wales to an upset victory in the European Cup, which was full of powerful players. However, how could Ferguson, who led the Red Devils and Manchester United to defend their unprecedented five crowns, not great?

In the end, the context of the championship became the key to determining the outcome of Coleman and Ferguson. As the dominant player in world football in the past few years, Red Devils Manchester United's defending five crowns is legendary, but compared to Wales, which is not favored by anyone, the latter is obviously even more rare.

As for the third candidate for the best men's football coach besides these two, Magic Bird, his vote rate is too obviously different from the previous two, not even exceeding 10%. Magic Bird has already Knowing that he couldn't win against Ferguson and Coleman, he simply didn't come to the awards ceremony.

………………

Subsequently, the FIFA President's Award was awarded to German football emperor Beckenbauer, and the Fair Play Award was awarded to the Uzbekistan Football Association. The winner of the Puskas Award can be said to have exposed the current FIFA The biggest upset at the Ballon d'Or awards ceremony was also the most controversial. Although Miroslav Stoch's long shot was beautiful, in the eyes of many people, it was definitely not the most beautiful goal in 2012.

Then, the most critical moment of this awards ceremony arrived: the Golden Globes!

However, when the hosts introduced the awards, the short video played on the big screen was not of any one of the three people, but a set of data comparisons.

Bell, 100 goals and 52 assists in 63 games;

Messi, 91 goals and 22 assists in 69 games;

Cristiano Ronaldo, 67 goals and 12 assists in 71 games.

As soon as this data appeared on the big screen at the venue, there was an exclamation of surprise.

Although these data have been hyped up by the media recently, when they appear directly in front of people at this moment, everyone still has an unbelievable feeling, especially most of the people present are football professionals. Knowing what these data mean What.

It can be said that any of these three sets of data would have been enough for its owner to win the Ballon d'Or or the World Footballer Award a few years ago. However, in the crazy year of 2012, two data were the same. Great people will have to be losers.
