Reborn Almighty Life

On the day after Manchester United won the Club World Cup, the French "L'Equipe" magazine announced that Gu Fei, a Manchester United player from China, won the 2007 European Ballon d'Or. He was the most outstanding player in world football in 2007.

one!

For players, the recognition of the French "L'Equipe" is even more important than the recognition of the World Football Federation, because the selection of the "L'Equipe" Ballon d'Or is the most prestigious and influential in Europe and even the world.

One of the football award selections.

This year, "France Football", a subsidiary of French newspaper "L'Equipe", gave the cover of the year-end special issue to a Chinese player with yellow skin and black hair. Gu Fei, wearing Manchester United's No. 10 jersey, is holding the trophy that symbolizes the Ballon d'Or.

, showing a bright smile.

In fact, before Manchester United went to the Club World Cup, 96 professional football media reporters from all over the world had already selected this year's Ballon d'Or. Gu Fei was the well-deserved winner of the Ballon d'Or because all reporters chose the first option.

Got Gu Fei.

Gu Fei thus became the first goal scorer to be elected with a full vote in the history of the Ballon d'Or, creating a new record.

Reporters from "France Football" secretly went to Manchester to shoot documentaries and promotional films for Gu Fei. At that time, Gu Fei and Sir Alex Ferguson already knew the winner of this year's European Ballon d'Or. As for Gu Fei's biggest rival, Kaká, Messi

and Ronaldo, both knew that they should not be elected, because by mid-December, there were no reporters from "France Football" to take pictures of them in the morning, so they were definitely out of luck.

In 1954, Gabriel Arnault, editor-in-chief of "France Football", led the creation of the European Champions League. Two years later, the media pioneer began to consult the "Best European Player of the Year" in his magazine's editorial department.

The selection in the first period was very simple. Because there was no adequate preparation and equalization criteria, Arnold and his colleagues gave the 'Golden Ball Award' to the most prestigious England winger at the time, Sir Stanley Matthews. When Matthews

At the age of 41, he is still riding high in the UK

In the Gran Top League, this magical winger even retired from the top league at the age of 50 and officially announced his retirement at the age of 55. His achievements and fame were so great that the Golden Globe Award had to exclude him.

Considered a role model for professional players.

"France Football" is the football flagship of the "L'Equipe" media group. The European Champions Cup and the 'Ballon d'Or' quickly enhanced the credibility and reputation of this magazine. In the second year of the awards, the formal process and evaluation criteria were gradually established. Real Madrid

Golden Arrow Di Stefano deserves the title.

In the next two years, Di Stefano's Real Madrid French teammate Copa Lianzhuang was suspected of favoring the French by "France Football", but Di Stefano returned in 1959. In 1960 and 1961, Barcelona star Suarez

It was the Portuguese Eusebio in 1962 and the former Soviet goalkeeper Yashin in 1963. This series of names objectively reflects the style of European football and the authority of the 'Golden Ball Award' was established.

It took seven years for "France Football" to turn the Ballon d'Or into the world's most authoritative 'Football Player' selection. In the following 40 years, the European Ballon d'Or became the most authoritative and most authoritative award in Europe and even the entire world.

The selection of the best players has great influence in world football.

After the "Golden Ball Award", various media have followed suit. England's "World Football" magazine's Mr. of the Year selection has also had a certain influence, but no one can suppress the original and objective "Golden Ball Award". FIFA has since In 1991, it started to create its own award. Of course, it has the official status of the crown, and the commercial resources that can be developed are also rapidly expanding. It is just a question of who is the better "Mr. FIFA" or "Mr. Ballon d'Or", but it is still a matter of opinion. .

In many years, "Mr. Ballon d'Or" and FIFA Player of the Year are not necessarily the same person. This is also the difference between the two selection organizations. Media reporters are more inclined to award the "Ballon d'Or" to the one who won the award that year. The player with the best performance, and World Football Federation prefers to create stars and awards the World Footballer to the most famous and prestigious football players.

Relatively speaking, football media workers will be more rigorous. After all, they have to pay attention to the various developments of these candidates. Therefore, some players whose reputation is not the first will receive a good award at the Ballon d'Or due to their sudden outbreak in a certain year. 's ranking.

The World Footballer of the Year is voted by coaches and captains, and FIFA likes to "make stars." Many times, the players selected may not be the best in the year, but they have the highest personal reputation.

For example, the 1996 Ballon d'Or winner was Sammer and the World Footballer of the Year was Ronaldo; the 2000 Ballon d'Or winner was Figo and the World Footballer of the Year was Zidane; the 2001 Ballon d'Or winner was Owen and the World Footballer of the Year was Figo; the 2003 Ballon d'Or winner was Nedvěd and the World Footballer of the Year was Zidane; the 2004 Ballon d'Or winner was Shevchenko and the World Footballer of the Year was Ronaldinho.

Of course, when a player with a high reputation performs unparalleledly that year, and he wins the "Ballon d'Or" and the World Footballer at the same time, it becomes something that everyone expects. For example, Van Bain in 1992 Sten, Baggio in 1993, George Weah in 1995, Ronaldo in 1997, Zidane in 1998 and Rivaldo in 1999, they all won two awards in the same year with their perfect performances. , became the undisputed football player in people's eyes.

Nowadays, world football will likely welcome new Grand Slam players. Although Gu Fei has never represented the Chinese national team in any game, with Gu Fei's popularity and influence around the world, he will surely The head coaches of various football associations and the captains of national teams would not hesitate to vote for Gu Fei.

Before 1994, the selection objects of the Ballon d'Or were limited to players with European nationality; in 1995, the selection objects were relaxed to players who play for football clubs belonging to the member states of the European Football Association Union; in 2007, the selection scope was expanded to include all professional football players around the world. Therefore, the winners of the Ballon d'Or before 2007 are often called European Footballers.

This year is the first time that the "Golden Ball Award" has expanded its selection to professional football players around the world, but people know in their hearts that the best player will only be Gu Fei, because in the entire world of football, there is no player in 2007. His performance is comparable to Gu Fei's.

Starting from this year, all countries outside Europe that have participated in the World Cup finals have the right to vote. The selection will be conducted by a jury composed of professional football reporters from all over the world. In 2007, there were 96 judges from different countries in the selection.

The judges need to write down 5 players in order of 1 to 5 points.

Starting from 1995, the player list must be the 50-man list proposed by "France Football". The award is mainly based on the player's individual and collective performance, player quality, career, character and prestige. The player with the highest total score in the end

If there are equal points, there will be another round of voting.

Among the Chinese media, China TV and "Sports Weekly" gained the right to vote. This voting opportunity is also thanks to the 2002 China Men's Football Team entering the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. Because the China Men's Football Team entered the World Cup, China's media are eligible to participate.

The selection of the "Golden Globe Award". Although these two media did not reveal who they voted for to be elected for the "Golden Globe Award", what is certain is that their only choice is Gu Fei!

After the news was published that Gu Fei won the 2007 Golden Globe Award, the final score was announced. Gu Fei won the 2007 Golden Globe Award with a record-breaking 480 points, which means that 96 companies participated in the voting.

The media unanimously selected Gu Fei as the first choice, which was also the first time in history.

In the past, even Baggio and Ronaldo, who were at their peak, could not get unanimous votes. Gu Fei can be said to have conquered the media all over the world.

…………

The news that Gu Fei won the Golden Globe Award spread back to China, and the Chinese fans cheered with joy!

Historically, the Chinese created Cuju, the original sport of football, but in the history of modern football, Chinese football has never occupied a place!

In 1976, Germany's authoritative media once selected the world's top five football champions. Li Huitang from China was tied with Pele, Beckenbauer and others. He was also considered the number one player in modern Chinese football!

Li Huitang started his football career at the age of 17 and was active in Asian football in the 1920s and 1930s. He was affectionately named the "Asian Football King" by fans and Hong Kong media. He was not only a rare Chinese professional football player before the war;

He was recognized as the number one player in Chinese football at that time.

According to statistics, he has scored a total of 1,860 goals in various football matches. Together with Brazil's Lidenreich, German star Gerd Muller, soccer king Pele and lone wolf Romario, he is the only player in the world who has scored more than 1,000 goals so far.

Five superstars.

It's a pity that China was at war and the country was weak at that time. Even though Li Huitang had extraordinary personal abilities, he was unable to lead Chinese football to glory. Instead, because the country was bullied, he was regarded by foreigners as the "sick man of East Asia"!

After the establishment of the Chinese Empire, due to some historical reasons, it was unable to participate in international competitions organized by FIFA for a long time. The development of Chinese football could only be stuck in a state of self-entertainment!

It was not until the 1980s that the Chinese Football Association regained its seat in FIFA and began to participate in various international events. During the years when Chinese football was booming, many high-level athletes emerged. Unfortunately,

They have no chance to show their abilities in mainstream European leagues, and the desertification of Chinese football is not so easy to eliminate.

Fan Zhiyi is probably the Chinese player closest to a world-class star. His physical fitness and amazing mental attributes and comprehensiveness are not inferior to those of European and American players. He won the Asian Footballer of the Year award. This is for a player whose main position is a defender.

It is undoubtedly extremely rare!

At his peak, Fan Zhiyi wore the captain's armband at the Crystal Palace, was loved by the fans, and received an invitation from Liverpool! Unfortunately, General Fan declined the invitation from Liverpool in order to prepare for the 2002 World Cup qualifiers. This matter has not happened to this day.

It is still a regret in the hearts of Chinese fans.

Later, Sun Jihai, Yang Chen and others successively performed well in mainstream European leagues, which once made Chinese fans think that the spring of Chinese football had arrived!

It's a pity that the glory of Chinese football in Europe is like a flash in the pan, and gradually disappeared after 2004. Even Sun Jihai's starlight in Manchester City is dim.

Under this circumstance, Chinese football is naturally considered a football desert. European football has countless contempt for China everywhere. Even when Chinese media go out to interview, they are discriminated against.

No one expected that Gu Fei's rise in world football would be like a comet, shining brightly in the blink of an eye, like a star!

Since entering world football, Gu Fei has subverted all stereotypes about Chinese players. He led Manchester United to create the first "seven crowns" glory in the history of world football, and his perfect personal performance is even more brilliant.

lofty!

In the history of world football, there has never been a player like Gu Fei, who not only has superb finishing ability, but also has superhuman leadership ability. He uses his superb organizational skills to abruptly surpass the level of Manchester United.

It has improved several levels, and this has created the myth of Manchester United's winning streak for more than a year!

Now, Gu Fei has performed four times in the Club World Cup final, leading the team to successfully achieve the first "seven crowns" in the history of world football, and countless personal honors are coming one after another!

…………

After winning the championship, Manchester United did not stay in Tokyo for too long, because the next step was the English Derby with Liverpool. Even Sir Alex Ferguson, who was full of confidence, did not dare to take it lightly!

For Sir Alex Ferguson, there is no problem for the team to win the championship, but the game must not be lost to the arch-rival Liverpool! Therefore, after winning the Club World Cup, Manchester United immediately put into preparation for the game.

Gu Fei, who scored four goals in the Club World Cup final, won the honor of the best player of this year's Club World Cup. However, Gu Fei did not drive away the Fuso luxury car provided by the sponsor, but gave it to another person.

The player who scored in the final, Aguero!

After all, with Gu Fei's current status, using a Fuso car might cause him a lot of trouble, so he simply didn't test the public's reaction.

Aguero was ecstatic to get a luxury car. His sense of belonging to Gu Fei and Manchester United increased sharply. He felt that playing in Dream Theater was a happy thing, even though he mostly served as the team's manager.

Second substitute.

The Manchester United team returned to Manchester on the "Flying Air" overnight and were welcomed by the entire city at Manchester International Airport. Tens of thousands of Manchester United fans wearing red jerseys braved the continuous rain in the winter in the British Isles to come to the airport to greet them.

With the arrival of the hero in my heart, the color of the whole city is red at this moment!

Today's Manchester United fans are undoubtedly the happiest fans in the world, because the team continues to win continuously, and the soul of the team reaches the top of personal honors. Manchester United has become the most shining super team in the world!

Manchester United fans believe that there will be more glory waiting for them in the future!
