Chapter 447 Ballots
When the league was in full swing, the selection of the European Golden Ball Awards finally came to an end. Barcelona's Brazilian international Ronaldinho took over the Golden Ball Awards from Erno, editor-in-chief of "French Football" and became the 50th winner of the European Golden Ball Awards. Chelsea's Lampard and Liverpool's Gerrard ranked third.
This is also the third personal international honor that Ronaldinho won after winning the World Footballer in 2004 and the World Professional Player League Best Player in 2005. Previously, two Brazilians won the European Golden Ball Awards, namely Ronaldo (in Inter Milan in 1997 and Real Madrid in 2005) and Rivaldo (in Barcelona in 1999).
Although Barcelona was unfortunately eliminated by Chelsea from the quarterfinals of 16 last season, Ronaldinho's personal performance and team performance are still very outstanding.
Last season in La Liga, Ronaldinho scored 9 goals 35 times, helping Barcelona win the first league championship since 1999. In the Copa America match, he led Brazil's second-tier team to defeat the powerful Argentina and won the Copa America in 2004.
In addition to his wonderful performance last season, this season, Ronaldinho continued to lead Barcelona to La Liga with 9 goals, scoring his ninth goal of the season. In five Champions League games, Ronaldinho also scored 5 goals, helping Barcelona advance to the top 16 of the Champions League in the group stage.
Of course, such team results cannot overwhelm Gerrard, who won the Champions League championship, and only has one more Copa America title than Chelsea's magic lamp Lampard. However, in terms of personal performance, Gerrard and Lampard cannot be compared with Ronaldinho. They are fantastic and imaginative passes. Ronaldinho has turned football skills into an art. If Gerrard and Lampard are craftsmen, Ronaldinho has become an artist, which is why he won the World Footballer last season without any team results.
Although Chen Yu is sure to have nothing to do with anyone who won the European Golden Ball Award, because Chen Yu was selected as a candidate for 50 people, many Chen Yu's fans have made him feel that Chen Yu can break through the embarrassing history of Asian players not winning votes in the Golden Ball Award. In addition, "French Football" has also launched new ideas for this selection, and will select the "European Golden Ball Lineup" in 2005 based on the final number of votes. Although Chen Yu did not have any team results last season, he scored an astonishing number of goals and won the European Golden Boot Award, which is very likely to enter the European goal lineup.
Facts have proved that Chinese fans and Chen Yu's fans were thinking a little too much. Although Chen Yu received 10 votes historically and ranked 13th, there were only two forwards in the Golden Ball lineup, which were almost decided by former Golden Ball winner Shevchenko and Henry, the second place twice in a row. Even if the forwards were expanded to 3, there were Ibrahimovic and Etoo ahead of Chen Yu, and Chen Yu still had no hope.
However, there are still a few media that stand up for Chen Yu. For example, the "Republic" based in Fiorentina, the reporter believes that Shevchenko, who ranks ahead of Chen Yu, is fine. AC Milan reached the Champions League final last season, but at least three people should not be ahead of Chen Yu. Chen Yu can lead the promoted team to third in the league, which is definitely more difficult than winning the championship in a giants. Moreover, Chen Yu scored more goals than any two of these five forwards combined. Ranking Chen Yu behind these people is actually unfair in the selection.
This time, Argentine players are the big losers in the Golden Ball Awards. Argentina's "Horse" believes that the selection is not completely fair, because the judges often consider the player's qualifications and prestige, rather than taking into the player's performance this season, although Chen Yu is unknown, his performance last season was not bad. Although he was not enough to enter the top three of the Golden Ball Awards, he still deserves to enter the top eight or even the top five, and now he ranks 13th. Riquelme's football skills have reached a level of improvement, but he is not in the eyes of the French. He has only won a vote, ranking behind Adriano and Chen Yu.
As for the Chinese media, while cheering for Chen Yu's historically breaking the breakthrough of zero votes in the Golden Ball Awards, he criticized the unfair selection of "French Football". Chen Yu received too few votes and could not compare to Adriano. Adriano, except for the Federation Cup and the Americas Cup, could compare with Chen Yu? In addition to Henry, he won the second place in the Golden Ball Awards twice in a row, but Henry performed absolutely not as good as Chen Yu last season. But now Henry has entered the Golden Ball lineup, but Chen Yu has not been able to make it. This is simply a contempt for Chinese football.
Chen Yu is already very satisfied with winning so many votes and such a high ranking. Although the selection of the Golden Ball Award is more fair and professional than the selection of the World Football Master, the 50-person shortlist almost covers outstanding stars from all over the world who play in the top European leagues today. Generally speaking, the performance in 2005 is used as a measure, which can better reflect the actual situation of the development of the world football world. However, European football still has certain prejudice against players outside Europe and the United States, and Asian football is even more do not have the mainstream. It is the first time that Chen Yu has entered the European Golden Ball Awards selection list, and he has no qualifications and prestige. It is difficult to think about how many votes you get and how high you get, unless he can get team results that cannot be ignored, such as the Serie A championship, the Champions League, and an Italian Cup champion.
What Chen Yu hopes is that at this time next year, he can enter the top five in the Golden Ball Awards and World Footballer selection, and at least enter the top eight. Of course, to achieve this goal, Chen Yu must at least win the Serie A championship or reach the Champions League semi-finals this season.
The proverb often says that blessings come unparalleled, but misfortunes never come alone. Chen Yu just made a breakthrough in the European Golden Globe Awards selection and won ten votes historic, becoming the first Asian player in the history of the Golden Globes. On the other hand, good news came again. The first film he co-wrote with Hollywood, "A Goal to Fame" finally premiered in Europe.
Although Chen Yu did not play the leading role in this movie, it was a good start. As Kayla Knightley said, professional football cannot be played for a lifetime, but movies can be performed for a lifetime. If Chen Yu has outstanding performance in this movie, there will definitely be Hollywood directors coming to Chen Yu to act in the future."
Although Chen Yu is not interested in going to Hollywood to develop, Chen Yu is still very curious about the films he filmed. He really wants to see how his true performance is.
After Chen Yu returned from training in the afternoon, he was about to wash and wash, change his clothes, and go to the cinema to watch the premiere of the movie. Zhao Muyu came back first.
Seeing Chen Yu walking out in a suit, Zhao Muyu said, "Brother Xiaoyu, what are you going to go for when you are wearing such a formal dress? Where are you going for a blind date?"
Zhao Muyu was wearing a school uniform today, but the school uniform of the Fashion Design Academy is also very beautiful. Zhao Muyu looks even more youthful and beautiful in addition to being delicate.
Although Zhao Muyu is not an extrovert, when he is with people he is familiar with and relatives, Zhao Muyu is much more lively than outside, and sometimes even feels like an elf.
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Mu Yu is back, I'm going to see a movie."
What? Zhao Muyu said in surprise: "Watch a movie? Are you going to watch a movie? God, it seems that you have found a new girlfriend, are you going to accompany her?"
"No, there is no new girlfriend. I'm watching a football movie, which I'm acting myself."
Chen Yu and Zhao Muyu's relationship is a bit sensitive now. After Zhao Muyu threw the window paper, Chen Yu didn't dare to get in too close to Zhao Muyu, because he didn't know how to get along with Zhao Muyu now, so he could only maintain a close distance. But what Chen Yu didn't expect was that Chen Yu's close and distant behavior made Zhao Muyu fall deeper in the vortex of love.
"Ah, I remembered it, isn't "One Goal to Fame"? It was very popular some time ago, and it turned out that the screening has started." Zhao Muyu also knew that Chen Yu participated in the filming of the movie "One Goal to Fame", but this is a football movie. Zhao Muyu's female classmates are not very interested in such a film, so Zhao Muyu didn't know that the premiere of "One Goal to Fame" will begin today.
"Well, it's just the beginning. Do you want to go and see it? Let's go together."
Chen Yu regretted it again after saying that. After talking to Kayla Knightli today, he went to the movie with Zhao Muyu. He felt sorry for Knightli, although the two had not been together for a long time.
Zhao Muyu was not polite at all and said, "Okay, I'm fine. I've finished the homework assigned by the teacher at school. Brother Xiaoyu, wait for me, I'll go change my clothes and go with you."
Zhao Muyu went to her bedroom to change clothes. Chen Yu was about to transfer the newly bought Hummer out of the garage, and Zhang Shubin also came back.
"Xiao Yu, is there something wrong with going out?"
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Zhang, I'm going out to watch a movie, Uncle Zhang will go?"
Zhang Shubin smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaoyu, do you think I am still twenty or thirty years old. Watching movies is outdated for me. Why not read newspapers and have a cup of tea at home?"
Chen Yu smiled and said, "I went to see the movie "One Goal to Fame" that I performed in.
Zhang Shubin also said "ah" and said, "I have forgotten about this recently for the winter transfer period. That's a matter of going, Xiaoyu, you wait for me, I'll put down my things, let's go together."
Chen Yu felt relieved because with Zhang Shubin, there was no problem with him taking Zhao Muyu with him. But in his heart, Chen Yu felt a little disappointed, which made Chen Yu hate his shamelessness.
