After the group stage draw was completed, UEFA also awarded the European Player of the Year Award for the 2011/2012 season.
Beginning in 2010, the European Ballon d'Or hosted by "France Football" and the World Player of the Year hosted by FIFA merged to form the annual FIFA Ballon d'Or, becoming the ultimate annual award in world football.
But I didn’t expect that just after the merger in 2010, the FIFA Ballon d’Or selection in the first year caused great controversy.
2010 is the year of the World Cup in South Africa. According to tradition, the Golden Globe Award should be awarded to the core players of the team that wins the World Cup.
Iniesta performed well in the World Cup in South Africa, scoring the winning goal in the final to help Spain win the World Cup for the first time in history, and was elected finals MVP.
At the same time, the Spanish team also won the European Cup in 2008. The core players who have performed well in two consecutive World Series championships deserve the award.
Even if it is not given to Iniesta, it should be given to Xavi, the Spanish team's other midfield core. Xavi's midfield organizational role is as good as Iniesta's.
Even if Iniesta and Xavi, who are both the core of the Spanish midfield, split the votes between each other, they will not get the award. Then Inter Milan, who led the team to win the Serie A championship, Italian Cup championship, and Champions League championship in the 2009/2010 season
Midfielder Sneijder can also win the award.
In addition to winning the Triple Crown that year, Sneijder also led the Dutch team to second place in the World Cup in South Africa, losing only to Spain.
Messi only won one La Liga title that year, the Argentina national team failed to reach the quarterfinals in the World Cup in South Africa, and Messi failed to score a single goal in the World Cup in South Africa.
Just talking about the league championship, Xavi and Iniesta are also Barcelona's core players, and they also have their share of the La Liga championship.
With the La Liga title and the World Cup title in hand, Xavi and Iniesta deserve the award more than Messi. Even if the award is not given to Xavi and Iniesta, Sneijder, who has won the Champions League and the Triple Crown,
Germany is more convincing than Messi, right?
As a result, the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or was awarded to Messi, which was shocking. The world's public opinion was in an uproar. Except for Messi's fans, I am afraid that few people could believe this result. The credibility of the FIFA Ballon d'Or suddenly fell.
The professionalism of the judges has been greatly questioned.
Therefore, UEFA, which has always been at odds with FIFA, took the opportunity to create the "UEFA European Player of the Year" award in 2011, which was awarded to the player with the best performance in Europe the previous season, regardless of nationality, which is almost equivalent to the previous award.
European Ballon d'Or.
In the 2010/2011 season, Messi led Barcelona to win five crowns. There is no dispute whether he is the FIFA Ballon d'Or or the best player in Europe.
But in the 2011/2012 season, although Messi scored 50 goals in La Liga and created La Liga history, there was only one Copa del Rey. In the Spanish Super Cup that just ended yesterday, Barcelona also lost to Real Madrid and missed the championship.
.
In this summer's European Cup, Iniesta once again led Spain to win the 2012 European Cup, making Spain the first team in world football to win three consecutive major tournaments, creating an unprecedented Spanish dynasty.
.
Such great achievements finally allowed Iniesta, the core of Spain's midfield, to conquer UEFA's professional journalist judges, beat club teammate Messi, and win the UEFA European Player of the Year Award for the 2011/2012 season, making up for his
It has always been overshadowed by Messi's light, and it is a pity that there is no personal award.
Qiao Anchen also applauded Iniesta for winning the award.
After the draw ceremony of the Champions League group stage, Qiao Anchen, Gabi, and Simeone returned to the hotel to rest early and prepare for the European Super Cup the next day. Qiao Anchen was naturally the well-deserved starting lineup.
Although there was only one game, the system still counted it as a brand new event, so it gave Qiao Anchen "the first time he was selected into the 18-man European Super Cup roster" and "the first time he was selected into the 11-man starting lineup for the European Super Cup."
"Big List" has a total of two rewards.
The experience of these two rewards is not cheap.
According to the system settings, a goal in the European Super Cup is worth 1 million experience points, and being selected for the squad and starting list is worth 2 million points respectively, for a total of 4 million experience points.
This increased Qiao Anchen's total experience to level 39, 41.42 million/40 million, and was automatically upgraded to level 40, 1.42 million/50 million. He also received an upgrade reward of a sure-goal lucky card and 40 skill points, as well as the ability to unlock new skills at once.
permission.
In terms of new skills, Qiao Anchen has activated "Long Shot", and his initial attributes have reached 65, which may be related to his "shooting skills" and "shooting power".
However, Qiao Anchen did not add skill points to "Long Shot", but added them to "Reaction", increasing the "Reaction" from 80 to 90 to increase the reaction speed.
For some balls, as long as Qiao Anchen reacts a little earlier than the opponent, the result may be very different.
After completing the upgrade and adding points, Qiao Anchen's skill attributes changed to:
2. Roberto Carlos's heavy artillery attack on Menka*5
…
In more than three months, my height and weight have continued to increase, and I will soon reach 180cm.
The next day, on the evening of August 31, fans from Spain, England, and Monaco poured into the Louis II Stadium in Monaco, filling all 18,500 seats, waiting for Atletico Madrid and Chelsea to decide the 2012 European Super Cup.
champion.
Before the game, Gabi, the captain of Atletico Madrid, and Lampard, the captain of Chelsea, entered the stadium holding their respective championship trophies to show the audience the glory they won last season.
The coaches of both teams, Simeone and Di Matteo, said hello and shook hands on the sidelines.
Both of them played for Lazio when they were players, so they have a certain connection. Last season, both of them took over the team midway, and each led the team to win the European Championship, making them famous all over the world.
Now, the two will lead their respective players to fight for the European Super Cup championship and compete for the throne of the European King of Kings in 2012.
In addition, Torres in the Chelsea team was once the golden boy of the Chelsea team and was regarded as the pride of Atletico Madrid fans. Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is also on loan from Chelsea.
Torres and Courtois will face their old clubs in this game. Their mental state and performance are worth looking forward to.
At 20:45 in the evening on August 31, with the whistle of the referee Damir Skomina, the 2011/2012 UEFA Champions League champion Chelsea vs. the 2011/2012 UEFA Europa League champion Atletico Madrid in the 2012 European Super Cup in Monaco
The official start of the Stade Louis II.
At the beginning of the game, Qiao Anchen first gained 2 million experience points for "making his European Super Cup debut", and the total experience level rose to level 40, 3.42 million/50 million.
Then, the actual competition began.
In this game, Atletico Madrid played a 4231 formation, with goalkeeper No. 13 Courtois, left back No. 3 Felipe Luis, right back No. 20 Juan Fran, double central defender No. 2 Diego Godin and
No. 23 Miranda, left midfielder No. 7 Adrian, right midfielder No. 10 Qiao Anchen, attacking midfielder No. 11 Arda Turan, and center forward No. 9 Falcao.
Among them, due to the buying and selling of some players, the jersey numbers of some players are different from last season.
But Qiao Anchen's No. 10 and Falcao's No. 9 are obviously unbeatable.
Chelsea also played 4231, goalkeeper No. 1 Petr Cech, left back No. 3 Ashley Cole, right back No. 2 Ivanovic, No. 4 Lewis and No. 24 Cahill partnered as double central defenders, captain
Lampard and No. 12 Mikel partnered as a double defensive midfielder, with No. 10 Mata as the left midfielder, No. 7 Ramirez as the right midfielder, No. 17 Hazard as the attacking midfielder, and No. 9 Torres as the forward.
Before 2009, the European Super Cup, domestic Super Cups, etc. were generally regarded as pre-season warm-up matches, but they were slightly more valuable than ordinary friendly matches. After all, there was a championship trophy.
But after Barcelona won all the championships in 2009, including the Spanish Super Cup, the European Super Cup, etc., and claimed to have won an unprecedented six crowns in the year, everyone immediately paid attention to the champions of various Super Cups.
stand up.
If Barcelona can treat the Super Cup as a championship honor, so can others.
Therefore, both Chelsea and Atlético Madrid still attach great importance to the victory of this European Super Cup. No matter whether it has high gold content or not, it is the champion after all, and you will make money if you get it.
