Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 356 A New Era Amid Controversy

If you only look at the various selection results, then the world football in 2028 will be considered to belong to the Argentine genius Melibanega in many years.

During this year, he won the Copa del Rey, Champions League, European Super Cup and Club World Cup with the team. At the same time, he also won the best player in the Champions League, the European Ballon d'Or, and the World Footballer.

Meli, who has collected many honors, is no longer the rising "new star", but a popular superstar in the sky.

When Meli lifted the World Player of the Year trophy in Vienna's Golden Hall, some Argentine media shouted excitedly:

"World football has officially entered the era of Melibanega!"

"Meli will lead Argentine football to reshape the glory of the Igovara era!"

"If anyone can lead Argentina to win the World Cup, it's only Melibanega!"

"When Argentina wins the World Cup, that's when Meli will be crowned king of the ball!"

But Chinese fans and the media certainly don't think so.

At least Xie Lan would never think so.

"Bullshit! The FIFA selection is bullshit!"

She cursed at the news feed reporting that Meli had won the World Player of the Year.

"Mom, those who scored seventy-six goals a year and won the Champions League Golden Boot, La Liga champion, and Olympic champion can't even make it to the top three. What's the point of such an award!"

Hu Lixin quietly listened to his wife losing her temper, and did not speak out to dissuade her, nor did she explain to her the difference between the selection by FIFA and the selection by UEFA.

Because he also felt that the result of this selection was a bit unfair to his son.

Public opinion on the domestic Internet and the media has turned against Yingtian.

Even the official media, which always emphasizes objectivity and fairness, rarely voiced its aggrieved voice for Hu Lai, thinking that FIFA's World Footballer of the Year selection method should increase the weight of expert votes?

The head coach of the Chinese team, Jorge Dillon, expressed his dissatisfaction and doubts very simply: "...the selection of the World Footballer of the Year once again shows the difference between them and the UEFA Ballon d'Or...I don't know much about it. I understand why the third place in the European Ballon d'Or can't even enter the top three of the World Footballer of the Year. I don't mean to disrespect the other two, I'm just a little bit surprised. My vote must be the Hu Lai put it first, in my mind he is the best player..."

Ignoring the fact that he thinks that Hu Lai should be the best in the world at the end—as the head coach of the national team, he may have some fan filters—what Dillon said before is indeed very reasonable.

The winner of the European Bronze Ball Award, but he didn't even enter the top three finalists for the World Footballer of the Year...

Isn't this funny?

Although this kind of thing has not happened before.

But what happened to other people was completely different from what happened to Hu Lai.

Because this is the first time that Chinese players are so close to this honor!

All Chinese fans and Chinese sports media care so much.

In fact, before the awards ceremony, everyone has already done a good job of psychological construction through various channels. It is unlikely that Hu Lai will win the World Footballer of the Year competition against Meli. This time the Mr. Footballer should belong to Meli.

At that time, everyone thought that if they could not win the World Footballer, the second and third place would be good.

Although neither of these two rankings has any trophies, they are still among the top three in the world.

Unexpectedly, when the final result was announced, Hu Lai didn't even make the top three.

After the awards ceremony, some European media revealed the final rankings and scores of the selection. Meli, who won the World Player of the Year, of course ranked first, and his final score was 46 points.

In second place is Kabanka,

He scored forty-one points.

The third place is last season's European Golden Boot, the main center of the German national team, and the blue and white Munich striker Mark Becker. His final score is 36 points.

Hu Lai ranked fourth with 32 points.

Just four points away...

Before the results of the selection came out, the European media began to hype that Hu Lai might enter the top three in the final selection of the World Footballer of the Year.

For a while, he spoke convincingly, and for a while he came out to refute the rumors.

Today this media said that Chinese football will achieve a major breakthrough, but tomorrow that media said that FIFA denied all previous rumors.

In short, the hearts of Chinese fans are like a roller coaster, going up and down.

Now when the results came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

Did you always make fun of Chinese fans before Ganqing? !

The Chinese fans were very angry. They not only discussed this matter on the domestic Internet, but also went over the wall to denounce it on the Internet.

In the eyes of the vast majority of Chinese fans, even if Meli has the Champions League title and the European Ballon d'Or endorsement, Hu Lai can't compete for the time being.

How can Kabangka and Beckerhard be ranked in front of our Hu Lai?

Well, Kabanka is the European Silver Ball, what about Becker?

Mark Becker lost to Hou Lai in the European Golden Globe Awards!

What does he have?

Bundesliga champion?

Our Hu Lai has the La Liga champion!

Bundesliga Golden Boot?

Hu Lai has the La Liga Golden Boot!

Judging from the attractiveness of the league and the points in the European war, La Liga is stronger than the Bundesliga.

Becker has the European Golden Boot.

But Hu Lai has the Champions League Golden Boot.

Which of these two golden boots has more gold content, needless to say, right?

So why did Becker get the third place in the World Footballer?

It is not because of FIFA's selection mechanism that the head coaches and captains of the national teams of all FIFA member states have voting rights.

What do the head coaches and captains of national teams in many football underdeveloped areas know?

Aren't they looking at who is famous and who is elected?

Mark Becker became famous earlier than Hu Lai, and he has maintained a high level of competition for so many years, coupled with the strength of the German national team.

Therefore, Becker can often gain a sense of presence in world football.

Compared with him, the accumulation of Hu Lai, a rising star, is still slightly insufficient.

This is a disadvantage in the voting of the national team coach and captain.

According to authoritative and professional media voting, Hu Lai should be ahead of Mark Baker.

Of course, the margin of lead is not that great...

Angry Chinese fans continued to express their disappointment and dissatisfaction with the results of this selection on the Internet:

"...a player who has broken the natural year scoring record of active players for two consecutive years, but cannot enter the top three in the selection of the World Footballer of the Year,

This is not a disgrace to Hu Lai, it is a disgrace to the World Footballer of the Year award!

"Let me take you to review what Hu Lai has achieved in the past 2028: team honors: La Liga champion, Olympic champion. Personal honors: La Liga Golden Boot, Champions League Golden Boot, European Bronze Ball Award. In addition, this year In 2019, he scored a total of 76 goals in all competitions, one more than last year's 75 goals... Isn't such a performance worthy of being a top three in the world?"

"If the selection of the World Footballer of the Year is at this level, I don't think Meli's World Footballer of the Year has much gold content. It's very watery! Meli.

Banega is the most watered world footballer in history! "

Such remarks naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of Meli fans.

It would be fine if this kind of thing is said on the Internet in China.

But when he went to the external network, the number of fans of Na Meili was no less than Hu Lai's fans, and even more dominant.

So the two sides scolded and attacked each other.

How lively.

※※※

"Yeah, your fans and Meili's fans are a big deal."

Li Qingqing shook his head and sighed.

"Actually, it's not necessary..." Hu Lai waved his hand.

"It's still necessary. Your fans need a way to vent their emotions. They are really complaining for you."

Hu Lai nodded: "I know. I mean it's fine to scold FIFA. There's no need to scold Meli. He deserves his name as the World Footballer. To say 'the worst in history' is too much, as if the whole world This matter is worth paying attention to. You see, when you win Miss World Football, the attention of the media is obviously not enough, it's really chilling!"

At the award ceremony, in addition to Meli being awarded the World Footballer, another heavyweight award was actually awarded.

That is "Miss Football of the World", the highest honor in the world of women's football.

In the past year, Li Qingqing, who led the Madrid Kings women's football team to win the Spanish Super League and the Champions League, and the Chinese women's team to win the Olympic championship, did his part and won the honorary title of "Miss Football" with a huge lead.

The regret that she made it to the top three last year but failed to win the cup has been made up for this year.

"Maybe it's because I'm not the first Chinese player to win Miss World Football?"

Li Qingqing is indeed not the first female football player in Chinese football to win this honor. Before her, in the golden age of Chinese women's football, former international footballer Su Liwen once won the honor of "Miss Football". She is also the first Asian player to receive this honor.

She once led the Chinese women's football team to the World Cup final, and finally lost to the United States in a penalty shootout. At that time, she was a superstar in the world women's football.

"That shouldn't be the case. Someone got it before. Isn't it worth paying attention to if you get it again?" Hu Lai complained for his girlfriend.

"I wish no one would pay attention." Li Qingqing said with a smile, "Otherwise, what if I want to come home to shoot a documentary again..."

"Ouch, you're talking too Versailles!"

Li Qingqing finished laughing, looked at Hu Lai seriously and asked, "Hu Lai, do you really care if you didn't get the top three?"

"How could you not care?" Hu Lai pouted. "But we can't scold directly like the fans? Then we can only try to do better than last year, so good that everyone can't pick the thorns. Then kick the ball back to FIFA, see How do they pick it up."

Hearing what Hu Lai said, Li Qingqing gave him a thumbs up: "Okay! Let's work together!"

※※※

World football in 2028, due to well-known reasons, will be considered a very controversial year after a few years.

But no matter what the controversy, everyone agrees that this year is the beginning of a new era in world football.

The stars who ruled world football for the next decade officially took center stage.
