Golden Greenery

Chapter 411: Near Miss Golden Globe Award

Zhuoyang tried hard to see something from Messi's expression, but found nothing in the boss Mei's usual humility and shyness.

In Zurich, Switzerland in 2012, Zhuo Yang finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He defeated Messi by a small margin and became the 2011 FIFA World Ballon d'Or.

The vote rate was .78%. It may seem that Messi is more than 10 percentage points behind Zhuo Yang. The gap is still very obvious. However, since the second half of last year, Zhuo Yang has always believed that he should have been the best, dominating more than 80%. The correct attitude is to vote.

Zhuoyang didn't want to lie to himself. He actually valued this FIFA Golden Ball very much. If the Golden Ball and the husband were separated as before, it would be nothing new after he had won it a few times, not to mention the domineering power of winning two awards at once.

But after the two awards were combined into one, it seemed to be a new beginning. In 2010, it was taken away by Brother Meng. Zhuo Yang was not envious, let alone jealous, because he knew that this award was very close to him, and there were many There are more opportunities than the second brother.

If you win it once, of course it is not very unusual. Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. Zhuo Yang feels that he can completely surpass the realm of Mr. Golden Ball, but the premise of this realm is that you must win it once first.

There is no dispute that Zhuoyang is the number one player in football today, but being number one does not mean that the grand prize every year can be obtained for free, nor does it come easily.

His status as the number one player, which comes from his tall and straight figure that has always stood at the pinnacle of football since 2005, is the immortality accumulated during this period, but the honor of a single year still requires hard work.

Zhuoyang knows that his level in the football circle is already high enough, but he thinks it can be even higher. When will it be high enough that he can calmly say to the world: I will no longer participate in any awards in the future. Selection.

In this way, this bad guy will pretend to be at the top of his game, and there will be no one who will come after him.

Now, Zhuo Yang is still on the way to climb the peak, looking at the red sun on the top of the mountain, so he still needs to win a few big prizes.

However, since the second half of the year, Messi has been roaring like a hurricane, which has made Zhuoyang a little worried. Here, he wouldn't use the word "feared", and he wouldn't admit it even to death.

Barcelona's six-time crown is too important, but it was only achieved in the past six months. Half a year ago, even though everyone knew that Barcelona had a high probability of winning six championships this year, the world's appreciation and expectations were not high, and Zhuo Yang was not worried at all.

Among the six championships, in terms of difficulty, Champions League \u003e La Liga \u003e La Liga \u003e La Liga \u003e La Liga \u003e European Super League \u003e World Club. This is a public opinion and a truth.

Barcelona led by Zhuo Yang won the top three, and Barcelona with Messi as the core picked the last three that were icing on the cake. This is basically an undisputed fact.

In the second half of the year, in order to eliminate the negative impact of Zhuo Yang's departure, Barcelona tried their best to downplay Zhuo Yang's mark and spared no effort to praise Messi to build momentum for him. It is understandable that every club will do this. After all, life and football must go on, and people must look forward. Always remembering the past is a sign of aging and decadence.

However, the pro-Barcelona media's operation did not have much impact on Zhuo Yang, because no matter how they downplay Zhuo Yang, Real Madrid will praise him even more, just like what happened to Luis Figo back then.

Figo was no better on the pitch during his five years at Real Madrid than his five years at Barcelona, ​​but his fame and stardom turned Barcelona into a scumbag.

Therefore, one thing is going down, the other is going up, and Zhuo Yang is still taking advantage.

But since September, media all over the world except China have begun to build momentum for the six-time champion, which is a bit unusual.

The power of the media is powerful. After months of building momentum, people feel that the shocking Triple Crown in the past is just that. A rising tide lifts all boats, and Zhuo Yang has gone the other way. The Triple Crown is worthless, and he is no longer so impressive.

According to the analysis of Fatty and Big Sister, FIFA and UEFA are behind this move. After all, Zhuoyang's move from Barcelona to Real Madrid to some extent played a trick on the two major football federations. This is Blatter and Pula. Tiny's vengeful behavior.

But obviously, it is almost impossible to control all the mainstream media, so there will be a lot of noise in this wave of trends. What's more, Zhuoyang is not the only one who offended the two major football federations, but also two clubs, Barcelona and Real Madrid. The two major football federations can suppress Zhuoyang, but it is not what they want to let Barcelona benefit.

In the final analysis, whether Zhuo Yang wins or not is not the most critical factor. The two major football federations are not monolithic. Their internal strife is the most fundamental reason. It's all politics, and Zhuo Yang and Messi are just the bellwethers of football politics.

But in this way, Zhuoyang's originally huge advantage was quickly approached by Messi, resulting in the final result of this selection.

Of course, Messi's excellence this year is also obvious. He and Zhuo Yang's vote share should be more reasonable. As for the others, under the light of the sun and the moon, there are no stars.

Brother Meng won the FIFA Bronze Ball with % of the votes by virtue of his remaining power last year, as well as the Serie A champion and Serie A best player, which is also considered a complete achievement.

In previous years, the top scorers in the Premier League and Serie A were quite competitive, but with Zhuo Yang's 51 goals in front, all top scorers have become scum. Ibrahimovic with 28 goals and Berba with 21 goals. No one could remember Tove or Tevez.

Also ignored is Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored 40 goals last season. In previous years, this number of goals would have scared people to death, but now even dogs don't think it's rare.

The miserable Mr. Luo was squeezed to fifth place by Harvey, and he didn't even come to Zurich.

Mourinho also did not receive honors for this award. He only ranked third in the selection of the best coach of the year, falling behind Sir Alex Ferguson. Naturally, the only one who gets the best coach is Guardiola.

.

Although it was a little more twists and turns than expected, it was finally a near miss. Zhuoyang, who got what he wanted, wanted to take a peek at Messi's expression when his hope of reversal failed.

Without hope, there will be no disappointment. When hope suddenly arrives, it will give people strong expectations. How high the expectations are at this time will be how deep the disappointment will be after failure.

But Boss Mei's plain expression showed no clues at all, and Zhuo Yang couldn't help but admire him, because he was so calm, something Zhuo Yang couldn't do after he boasted of being in his shoes.

From this point of view, Zhuo Yang is more like Mourinho and Ronaldo, and there are always clues of disdain or jealousy. If he is relegated to second place this time, Zhuo Yang will most likely not come to Zurich to flatter others like the two of them.

After the award ceremony, Zhuo Yang ignored Brother Meng's dirty looks that kept flying over him, pulled Messi aside, and said to him with a smile: "Boss Mei, the young lady liked you very much just now. It made your eyes smile. ”
