Golden Greenery

"Hey, don't hang up the phone in a hurry, Zhuo Yang. Let me tell you the difference between us Brazilian girls and you Chinese girls. First of all, it's the butt..."

"Okay, okay, Ronnie, I know that your night battle with the Little Poison Dragon has been covered in Chinese newspapers. Let's talk later, I have a call coming in..."

After hanging up the phone from Ronaldinho, Zhuo Yang was quite helpless. This buck-toothed monster couldn't say more than two sentences every time on the phone, but he always did the same thing, commenting on girls from all over the world. It's not that Zhuoyang pretends to be aloof and doesn't bother to talk about this. On the contrary, no man is not interested in this. But the problem is that even if Zhuoyang has some knowledge in this area, compared with the buck-toothed nightclub king, he is no different from a brick. In order not to appear to be a country bumpkin, Zhuo Yang would stop the topic every time, sweating profusely.

During the winter break, when Zhuo Yang was staying at his grandmother's house in Sichuan, Ronaldinho followed Barcelona to Shanghai, China to play a commercial competition. At that time, he called Zhuo Yang and asked him to recommend a 'good' place. What can Zhuo Yang know? He hasn't even been to Shanghai yet. In the end, the translator from the Shanghai reception took Ronaldinho and a bunch of Barcelona prostitutes out to have a great time. Ronaldinho in turn called Zhuo Yang to come quickly and he was treating him.

Ronaldinho called Zhuo Yang today because they made an appointment to meet in Bern, Switzerland, but Zhuo Yang missed the appointment.

At the beginning of the month, UEFA sent an invitation letter to Madibao, inviting Zhuoyang and Dras to visit the UEFA headquarters in Bern, Switzerland, because they were shortlisted for the 50-person shortlist for the 2004 European Ballon d'Or.

Rock Dras was shortlisted because the Greek team won the European Cup. To cope with the situation, a total of five players were selected for the Greek team. Dras, the best defender in the European Cup who performed well, is naturally indispensable, but in fact everyone knows them well. Just reading with the prince.

As the only selected player in Asia, Zhuoyang can only be a finalist despite his unlimited glory in the league and UEFA Cup. The Ballon d'Or will always be the personal favorite of wealthy clubs and big-name teams.

Therefore, when he first received the invitation, Zhuo Yang was very interested in going there to show off. But later he figured it out, and neither he nor Dras went. Zhuo Yang didn't want to be a foil or a supporting role for others. !

However, Ronaldinho failed to get his wish. The 2004 European Ballon d'Or was won by Ukrainian striker Shevchenko of AC Milan. Ronaldinho could only rank fourth. He called to complain.

In fact, 2004 was a famous dark horse year in European football. None of the superstars showed a dominant performance, and none of them was very convincing. The big bosses of Real Madrid and the team are in chaos and sluggishness, and coupled with the mutual constraints between them, even though Real Madrid has a huge influence, no one can stand out.

The rest of the superstars are all because they did not perform well in the European Cup. After all, it is the year of the European competition, and they need to be somewhat convincing in this event. In this way, Shevchenko and Ronaldinho, who did not participate in the European Cup, took advantage because they did not show cowardice.

In the end, Ukrainian Nuclear Warheads stood at the top with Serie A championship and Serie A top scorer. To put it bluntly, Shevchenko's performance this year is not much better than Ronaldinho, Henry, Deco, or even Ballack and Pirlo. The most important thing for him to win the honor is that besides taking advantage of his position, the most important thing is It's because of his Serie A and AC Milan background.

The European Ballon d'Or is selected by senior football journalists across Europe. These people value football itself more. Although Serie A has begun to decline at this time, it still has a huge influence among the five major leagues, and European football reporters still have a strong attachment to Serie A. In their eyes, only the stars who have been tempered by Serie A are the real superstars, and only those who are proud of the most difficult Italian league can be qualified to be the king. If there are no stars with suppressive performances in other leagues, and if everyone performs similarly, these reporters would be more willing to choose the Ballon d'Or winner from Serie A.

Coupled with the strong influence of AC Milan and the joint promoters of the top three Serie A, it is not surprising that the Golden Globe Award went to Shevchenko.

Ronaldinho ultimately ranked fourth behind Sheva, Henry and Deco.

The main reason why he didn't have a championship at hand this year. The buck-toothed monster was wronged, but there were people who were more wronged than him.

Prince Totti of Rome performed as well as anyone else this year. In terms of personal ability alone, he was fully qualified to compete for the Golden Ball. Totti was regarded by Real Madrid as the only choice that year under the one-star-per-year policy. In the end, it was only because Totti was against Roma. Because of his loyalty, he had no choice but to buy England's Owen to the Bernabeu to make ends meet.

Totti suffers from the disadvantage that the Roma Club is not considered a top-level club, and he has no agent and no strong team behind him to help promote and build momentum. The Roma Club and the top three in northern Italy have always failed to deal with it, and have been jointly suppressed. Therefore, unless Totti performs a miracle, even if the whole world recognizes his ability, there is actually little chance of winning the Golden Ball. What's more, he spit a lot of phlegm at the European Cup in the summer. He was suspended and also dragged Italy into elimination. This is also a big stain.

Totti did not go to Switzerland to join in the fun, and it was his call that made Zhuoyang finally cancel his trip to Switzerland.

"I think those idiots who can only play football are not qualified to have smart people like us to support them. Don't you think so? Zhuoyang."

Although Totti's words were a bit pretentious, Zhuo Yang just found them pleasing to the ear. That's right, I'm just a little younger. If you really want to say who is better than me, you have to play to know.

The moment he hung up the phone, Zhuo Yang heard Brasi's shout on the other end: "Franz, did you pee in the refrigerator again? You idiot..."

Last year against Schalke 04, Zhuo Yang retaliated and tackled Paulson, which attracted criticism from the media after the game. However, Totti, who is quite important in world football, stood up and spoke up for Zhuo Yang, so Zhuo Yang has always been Be grateful to Totti. Afterwards, Totti came to Milan to support the New Year's concert "Meeting Chopin", and the two became officially acquainted.

It can be seen from Totti that today, when football has become commercialized, it is no longer possible to stand at the top simply by playing football well. Packaging background forces are indispensable for victory. Therefore, Totti, who was single-handedly, would continue to suffer. Ronaldinho, who had Barcelona and Brazilian forces building momentum for him, overcame Shevchenko and Henry in a few days and was awarded the 2004 World Footballer.

The World Footballer of the Year, selected by the head coaches and captains of national teams around the world, is much worse than the European Ballon d'Or in terms of professionalism. In most cases, fame determines everything. When it comes to the fame of today's players, no one can compare with Ronaldinho and Beckham. However, the lingering power of Brazil's fourth championship in 2002 is still there, so it is natural for Ronaldinho to win the championship.

The buck-toothed King Luo was furious about losing the Ballon d'Or. However, he has already set his sights on this award next year. After all, only the Ballon d'Or can prove a player's football status, and the World Footballer can only explain it. The size of the limelight.

Zhuoyang once again called Ronaldinho to congratulate him and wish him all his dreams come true in the coming year. However, neither of them knew that UEFA did not announce it to the outside world, nor did the media report that in the 2004 Ballon d'Or, which was selected by the most senior football reporters in Europe, Madiburg captain Zhuo Yang was on the shortlist of 50 people. Finally ranked sixth.
