Golden Greenery

The interior of the Opera Garnier is splendid and luxuriously decorated. The walls and columns are covered with Baroque sculptures, hanging lamps and paintings. Some people say that it is as luxurious as a jewelry box, filled with gold and silver jewelry. The stars are shining brightly at the Opéra Garnier today, where the UEFA 200th European Ballon d'Or will be announced.

This is a grand event for European football, and all the stars who have time to come will come in droves. Even if they are just here to watch the glory of others, it is also a gathering to show their status. Being able to come here and enter the venue represents achievement and fame.

Since 1995, the selection scope of the European Ballon d'Or sponsored by "France Football" has changed from being limited to European players to all players playing in Europe. Liberian George Weah became the first to win Africans and people outside Europe at the Ballon d'Or.

Senior football reporters across Europe usually conduct two rounds of voting to select the top three from a shortlist of 50 candidates at the end of December. This is the so-called final list of three people, and then use a voting scoring system to select the winner.

Excluding Zhuo Yang, Ballack, who ranked 16th with the highest number of votes in the Bundesliga, only had 9 points, while the other Xiaozhu and Gomez did not score a point. They are also the only Bundesliga players in the 50-man roster. The decline of the Bundesliga compared with other leagues is evident.

The largest number is in Serie A, with 20 stars selected, accounting for nearly half of the country. Shevchenko, the highest-ranked goal scorer in the previous session, ranked seventh with 33 points, Kaká with 19 points, and second brother Montolivo with 2 points. Not bad, not bad.

10 in La Liga, 15 in the Premier League, and 5 others. There are 34 people in Europe, 12 people in the Americas, 3 people in Africa, and 1 person in Asia.

In fact, it is very mysterious that Zhuo Yang can enter the three-person list. He scored 43 points in the first round of voting, only one point higher than Lampard, who ranked fourth, Henry 40 points, and Ribery 37 points. However, Gerrard in front of Zhuoyang only had 45 points, while Ronaldinho, who ranked first, scored 60 points.

Another point is that except for the final list of three people, the preliminary scores of the rest will not be announced, and no one will care about it. No one will take the initiative to tell you unless you ask specifically. Just like last year, Zhuoyang scored 33 points in the first round of voting and ranked sixth on the 50-man list, but he didn't hear about this from Fatty until the summer.

Ronaldinho has indeed performed extremely dreamily this year, becoming an ugly elf flying over the Nou Camp. However, it would be a bit unreasonable to say that he is much better than Zhuoyang, but Barcelona's status is not comparable to that of Madiba. La Liga is far more eye-catching than Bundesliga, and the La Liga champion is more important than the UEFA Cup champion. Heavy. Moreover, Ronaldinho has been settling in for longer, and the same is true in the football world. They always think that older people are more mellow, just like wine.

The Ballon d'Or is not a live vote, which means that the results have already come out. However, the organizers and UEFA have a very good sense of confidentiality. Only three or two key people know the final result. All the answers still have to be on the live stage. The water is clear and the rocks are clear.

Zhuo Yang and Fatty didn't know what to do. They had already done their best work, but no one could figure out what the judges were thinking. Everyone looked at success from a different angle and had their own subjective attitudes. I have to do my best to obey fate, so I can only say this, what else can I do?

In Scar Ribery's place, the fat man naturally wouldn't favor one over the other, so he used great force. But Raiola knew from the beginning that Ribery had little hope, because compared to other candidates, Scar has the biggest disadvantage - lack of leadership qualities.

Scar is omnipotent in football skills, but because of his personality and appearance, he is just a general rather than a handsome man. Scar's only strength is that he is tied for the top scorer in the Premier League, but after Zhuoyang's exaggerated 41-goal golden boot came out, the persuasiveness of all other league's top scorers was no longer enough. Internally, Scar is not more of a spiritual leader than Terry and Lampard. Among the Six Musketeers, he is not as good as Zhuoyang, Grandpa and Xiaozhu in this regard. Even the sour second brother is better than him in this regard.

Scar is extremely brave and dares to fight and kill, which quickly made him famous in the world of football.

The feeling of being the number one winger in football today. But Scar is a top thug, but he cannot be a commander. He is an unstoppable pioneer and the core of the team's attack, but he is not a spiritual leader. In the eyes of professional football reporters, he has no connotation and insufficient aura. In other words, he is famous enough but not star-studded. These professional reporters are very harsh.

Moreover, he and his teammate Lampard were both shortlisted neck and neck, which also caused some diversion of votes. However, the sharp blade is not bad after all, and Ribery broke into the three-person shortlist of FIFA World Player of the Year a week later, which is enough to comfort his majestic heart. Therefore, Ribery came here today just to take advantage of the occasion and to cheer for his brother Zhuoyang. His main game will be in a week.

After some messy program preparations, it was finally time to reveal the final moment. The large screen in the background of the performance stage began to play short information clips of Zhuo Yang, Ronaldinho, and Gerrard in turn. Steven Gerrard and his girlfriend, fashion journalist Alex Curran, showed off their affection on camera, changing the diapers of his under-one-year-old daughter.

Zhuo Yang and Gerrard have never dealt with each other. The captain of the Red Army in the European Super Cup match between Madiburg and Liverpool half a year ago was also absent due to injury, and the two have not played against each other. Today Zhuo Yang looked at Gerrard intently for the first time. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Gerrard and Riquelme had the same purpose. They both had an "awkward" face, but Gerrard Ladd's smile was less ruinous than Riquelme's.

In terms of football introduction, Gerrard mainly focused on the Champions League final. He does not score as many goals as Zhuo Yang and Ronaldinho, and Gerrard is completely different from them in football style. His characteristics such as long passes, violent long shots, sudden forwards, and hard defense are all reflected in the camera. It's not easy to express, and it's not as endearing as Zhuo Yang and Ronaldinho's lightness and coquettishness.

Ronaldinho is always smiling and happy, and his agent labeled him as happy. That's right, it's not appropriate to say anything else when you look like this. His football is very dazzling, with all kinds of extraordinary moves and showoffs, and a lot of running around. Zhuoyang played against Ronaldinho two years ago. Since then, he has been paying close attention to Ronaldinho, whether because of his personal relationship or his popularity. In the past two years, Ronaldinho is still making progress. Compared with when he was in the UEFA Cup, Ronaldinho has obviously improved a lot.

When it's Zhuo Yang's turn, the program's content is quite rich, and there are many selling points in the expansion pack, with piano and music occupying the focus. To be honest, it is not easy for UEFA to find players with such noble skills. Looking at the history, it is unique. The previous charity trip to the United Nations that Xiaobei had just completed was also shown in the film, and the scene of Zhuo Yang's close interaction with HIV-infected children was very applauded.

The game shots are of course those wonderful goals, which are also Zhuo Yang's biggest reliance. Compared with Ronaldinho and Gerrard, Zhuo Yang's scoring methods are more diverse, eclectic, unconstrained and splendid.

It was finally time to go on stage. With the brisk music playing, the three people stepped onto the center of the stage, under the spotlight and attracting everyone's attention.
