Chapter 976

"Thank you for the love of the judges, UEFA and President Johansson, French football and Pierre." "Although it's a great honor to have this honor, I still have the same respect for Cannavaro and Buffon, just as I do for world champion Italy," said Zhuoyang

"Thank you to madeborg and AC Milan!"

A year later, Zhuoyang won the European golden ball award again on the stage of the Paris cannille opera house. He won the European golden ball in 2006 by narrowly winning the world championship team Italian captain Cannavaro.

In the final score, Zhuoyang only exceeded Cannavaro's 173 points by 182 points and less than 10 points, making him the smallest European Footballer in the past. Last year he was 32 points ahead of Ronaldinho, which is very rare. This year Ronaldinho only ranked fifth with 73 points.

In fact, Zhuoyang has been behind Cannavaro and Buffon since entering the selection, and Zidane, not because those three performed better than Zhuoyang in 2006, but because this year is the World Cup year.

The influence of the world cup is too great, not to mention the Italian team as the champion. When the individual performance is almost the same, the golden ball award will be awarded to the members of the world champion team. Even if other people are more persuasive, the judges can't help but focus on the champion.

However, the organizer of the golden ball award, French football, is famous for its specialty. As judges, the world famous football media reporters also need to consider the candidates' individual performance on the court, and try not to be only famous. Even if it's biased towards champions, it's not just champions. However, Zhuoyang did not participate in the world cup at all, which made those judges who appreciated him very difficult.

However, this is a World Cup event for common stars. During the whole event, there is no one who is strong in the crowd. There is no such outstanding person as Ronaldo in 2002, Zidane in 98 and Romario in 94. Otherwise, Zhuoyang can basically rest this year.

Since the opening of the competition in October, Zhuoyang, Cannavaro, Buffon and Zidane have been competing. This is not common in previous years, and more years are popular and the two men are competing.

The situation of the four is different. Zidane belongs to feelings, especially the tragic departure and retirement of other finals. He is very cheap in emotional points. He is the king of the old generation and has a long history and a large number of media fans. But that's all. If he's not retired or a red card, he's only talking about the performance of France in the world cup. In fact, Henry and scarlet Ribery are more persuasive than Zidane. Henry finally ranks fourth. He's only three points less than Buffon and seventh.

It's hard to say that penalty kicks. If the French team is a bit lucky in the final penalty shoot out and becomes the world champion, Zidane's golden ball will be stable this time, and Henry and Ribery will be even higher. Of course, in this case, there would be nothing for Cannavaro or Buffon.

Cannavaro only relies on his title as captain of the Champions League. Of course, his performance is also excellent, but it's too difficult for the defenders to cover the front and middle field in the limelight. Cannavaro's new owner, Real Madrid, is helping him build momentum this time, including some Spanish and Italian media.

With the help of the world cup champions, Apennine is eager to reverse the negative impact of "telephone gate". After careful analysis, Italy launched Buffon.

The first one to make a move for Buffon was former French superstar, Juventus star and UEFA executive Platini. His reason is very strong: "after Yassin, the golden ball award has not been awarded to another goalkeeper for 43 years, and he needs to have a successor."

Platini's words caught the hearts of the world.

To be honest, the golden ball award or the selection of the world football player is unfair to the backcourt players, especially the attacking players in the middle and front court. The whole world knows that football owes Maldini a golden ball award and the world's football player, but that's what it says. It's very pretentious not to give it to him.

Buffon also did well in the world cup in the summer, with champions Italy losing two goals in the whole tournament, a penalty from Zidane and an own goal from Zaccardo. Such a natural success, the defensive line is excellent, but Buffon's play can be called outstanding. Despite the captain of the national team, Buffon is actually more qualified than Cannavaro.

Platini is the platform for Buffon, there are many reasons, he is known to Juve fans and Barca honey. Nine players from Italy's national team have been selected in the 50 national people's Congress. Apart from Gattuso, Zambrotta, Grosso and Toni, it's obvious that they are here to join in the fun. Even Pirlo, Montolivo and Totti can't help but study with the prince. After much deliberation, Platini chose to support Buffon not only because Juventus are the old club, but also because they are currently in Serie B.

Platini's thinking angle is very novel. It seems that Buffon's leaving the top league with Juve is a great disadvantage, but the emotional points about "loyalty" are enough to make up for or even have been. And although Juve have left Serie A for the time being, their influence in Apennine and the whole Europe is no less than that of any other giants. Therefore, Juve and Platini soon reached a tacit agreement or even an explicit agreement to push Buffon to the top.Of course, there is a more important reason for Platini's praise of Buffon. He has to build up momentum and voice for his election to the presidency of UEFA next year, that is to say, Platini is warming up. Pratini, who is no longer a football superstar but a politician, is very thoughtful and deep-rooted.

AC Milan push Pirlo and Zhuoyang, but don't hinder Buffon; Real Madrid take a team of Western media to build momentum for Cannavaro, but also have to take care of Zidane's face; the rest of Barcelona's departments cheer for Ronaldinho and Eto'o respectively; the Premier League touts Henry, Ribery and Drogba for dispersing their firepower, and their three persuasions are not enough; Germany can only push Klose, Ballack lost his Bundesliga emotional points after he joined the Premier League.

In this way, Buffon has been ahead of other people since the beginning of the selection and occupied the media discourse list. Even at the beginning of last month, many media were very confident that Buffon would win the golden ball. Cannavaro will be next in the second place with no small disadvantage, and Zhuoyang, in the analysis of the media, is in any case the third.

However, at the end of the voting, two things happened suddenly, which completely reversed the situation of the Golden Globe Award.
