Chapter 37 Mr. World: Zhuo Yang

The 2007 World Footballer of the Year is like a replica of the 2007 European Ballon d'Or. The top five are still the same five people, but the first and second, third and fourth are interchanged.

FIFA World Footballer of the Year 2007 - Zhuo Yang!

In the voting of national team coaches and captains around the world, the first place Zhuo Yang scored 775 points, the second place Kaká scored 743 points, the third place Messi 312 points, the fourth place C Ronaldo 25 Melo, and Jin The ball awards are the same, and only four of them have three-digit scores. Drogba, the fifth-placed double, scored 99 points this time.

This is the first time Zhuoyang has become the World Footballer. He ranked second and third respectively in the previous two selections. He lost to Ronaldinho in 2005 and lost to Cannavaro and Zidane last year. This time, he and Kaka lost each other and gained something, just like he and Ronaldinho in 2005.

Zhuoyang was able to suppress Kaka with a small advantage in this selection for several reasons. First of all, the Ballon d'Or only focuses on competitions within Europe and involving European teams. The America's Cup, which was not very influential in the past year, is not included in its evaluation performance, but FIFA does not. Will ignore it.

Even though the America's Cup is far less famous than the European Cup, it is the second-largest continental national team tournament in the world. In order to compete with UEFA, FIFA will naturally try to raise the profile of the Copa America as much as possible. Wonderful. However, Kaká took the initiative to miss this America's Cup due to fatigue. Of course, there will be no bonus points. Even because of the decline of one thing, it will have a negative impact on his reputation.

Zhuo Yang had nothing to do with this, and ended up in the same situation, which was much better than Kaka. It is precisely because of his outstanding performance in the Copa America that Messi in turn surpassed Ronaldo and ranked in the top three.

Secondly, in Serie A and the Champions League, Kaka is a little tougher than Zhuo Yang because he is the two top scorer, but he is far less rich in gimmicks than Zhuo Yang.

In the past season, Zhuoyang had an unprecedented gimmick: in the Champions League, League, and FA Cup, all three fronts achieved double figures in goals and assists, and three double-doubles.

10 goals and 10 assists in the Champions League, 10 goals and 10 assists in the Football Association Cup, and 13 goals and 24 assists in Serie A.

No matter how much moisture there is in these data, no matter how big a brush Zhuo Yang is, it is absolutely true that no one in world football has done it before. This is just like when he won the Golden Globe Award in 2005 because he scored every game throughout the year. It is full of gimmicks, and the World Footballer Selection prefers gimmicks than the Golden Globe Awards.

The most important point is that Zhuoyang has accumulated enough reputation through two golden balls in the first two terms and a second and third place in the World Footballer. He is known as the best monster in the world. Among the coaches and captains of national teams around the world who serve as judges, there is a high proportion of hicks. In the minds of these rubes, Zhuoyang has become synonymous with the most fashionable and cutting-edge name in football. The rubes often only cast their votes based on their impressions.

It can even be said that even if Zhuoyang is very mediocre in the following season, has no extraordinary performance, and is completely a serious Chinese player, he will still get a good ranking in the next year's selection based on his accumulated reputation. Of course, this will only appear in the World Footballer selection, and the Golden Globe Award is not so shallow.

Just like Ronaldinho this year, Ronaldinho only ranked 13th in the Ballon d'Or. He also did not participate in the America's Cup. However, relying on the fame accumulated in the past, he still ranks high in the World Footballer 6,

And it's only 10 points less than Drogba.

The same is true for Ribery. His glory last season was reduced due to injuries. His Ballon d'Or ranking fell to 28th, but his World Footballer ranking was as high as 10th. This is also the inertia of the reputation of "the best winger in the world".

Scar is also the highest ranked among the Six Musketeers, except Zhuo Yang. The other four brothers have also entered the 30-person roster, and all have scored points. Among the 30 people, 2, Thuram, Lahm and Tevez had zero eggs.

There are 50 people on the Ballon d'Or list, so AC Milan is not as exaggerated as they were in Paris more than a week ago. They have "only" five people in the 30-person World Footballer selection list, missing Jiuye, Colts and Ronaldo.

But in terms of the 'Two Awards' selection, 2007 was undoubtedly an extremely brilliant year for AC Milan. For the first time, the club won the 'Two Awards' in a single championship and runner-up at the same time. This is unique in world football. Unexpected brilliance. 1 Albany won the first place in the 'Double Awards' and Maldini was second in the World Player of the Year. However, the Cavaliers only ranked fourth in the Ballon d'Or selection. And that year, it was already the largest monopoly of one club's "two awards" in a single session in the history of football. In 2007, the peerless duo rewrote history, and they brought monopoly to almost its extreme.

For this "Two Awards" selection, AC Milan made extremely detailed strategic arrangements and began an overwhelming campaign as soon as last season ended. How to prevent Zhuoyang and Kaká from distracting votes from each other, how to avoid restraining each other, and how to maximize their respective advantages? AC Milan's huge publicity and star-making plan was implemented perfectly. Including the league match with Lazio, allowing Zhuo Yang to play as a central defender was also a small part of AC Milan's overall strategy.

Zhuoyang and Kaka's agents Raiola and Figel once again worked closely together to avoid the inertia of primary school students' thinking among the judges, who like one and suppress the other involuntarily. The twins are packaged into an inseparable twin star. When all judges check and fill in their ballots, if they mark "Zhuo", the card will be painted on them. If they choose the card, they must check "Zhuo". In fact, this 'double award' means that Zhuo Ka is facing all other opponents side by side, just like a two-on-one on the court. How can the opponent be undefeated?

After careful analysis, Raiola and Figel adopted different publicity points based on their respective advantages. The two won the Golden Ball and Mr. perfectly achieved their strategic goals. The two tycoons spent half a year completing a classic example of publicity cooperation. They stopped trying to undermine each other and discredit each other.

To put it bluntly, the perfect operation of the club and the agent are only auxiliary. The root of the success is the outstanding performance of the peerless duo in the past year and season, the neon light of the peerless duo.

Although Zhuo Yang performed brilliantly in the just-concluded Club World Cup, the voting for World Footballer actually ended long ago and did not bring him extra points. But what does this have to do with it? Just treat it as a brilliant footnote to the new World Footballer? It also makes his first ‘Mr.’ well-deserved.

In the center of the stage, Zhuo Yang fluently took turns to express his thanks in five languages, English and French, the official languages ​​of FIFA, plus German, Italian and Chinese. The world could not help but admire him for his football and piano. Impressed by his language talent.

"I would like to especially thank the countless Chinese fans." Zhuo Yang said: "Because of the time difference, they can only watch the game late at night, which is not easy. What I have to do is to always make you feel that staying up late is It’s worth it, with my beautiful football and one victory after another.”…
