Chapter 258 The best player in Europe

"Okay, the draw for this season's UEFA Champions League group stage has ended, and each team has been divided into each group. Then it will be like the awarding of the best player in Europe that everyone cares about~~~" The draw for the group stage ended , Poet He began to talk about the issues that domestic fans are most concerned about.

The European best player award, the scope of selection is that players who have played in UEFA's leagues can be selected. Based on the performance of players in various competitions (including national teams and clubs) in the past season, 54 players from UEFA Football journalists from various countries vote for the first round.

The top three players in the first round of voting will enter the second round of voting, which is the on-site voting at today's awards ceremony. The press group will vote on-site through electronic voting machines, and the results will be obtained immediately, and the awards will be presented on-site.If there are players with the same number of votes, the player with the highest ranking in the first round will be ranked first.

The best European player award is completely inferior to the merged FIFA Ballon d'Or in terms of popularity, and even the European Ballon d'Or and the World Cup Mr. Footballer before the merger, each of which is taken out alone is better than the best player in Europe Reputation.

But since this award is voted entirely by football journalists, the best players in Europe are considered to be more attractive and valuable than those voted by journalists, national team coaches and national team captains.

In any case, the best player in Europe is the second most influential award in European football after the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

The UEFA Champions League group stage draw ended, and then the reporters voted on the spot. Three candidates, Ringer, Ronaldo and Neuer, were also invited to the stage.

Since it takes time for the reporters to vote, and the names of the award-winning players will be engraved on the trophy after the results are out, the host will first conduct some questions and interviews with everyone on stage to warm up the scene.

After both Neuer and Ronaldo were questioned, they came to Ringer.

"Lin, you are a rare non-European and South American player on this stage, do you feel nervous?"

"There is a little nervousness, but more excitement."

"Last season, you had a magical season. You accomplished what many of Atletico Madrid's predecessors could not accomplish. Do you think Atletico Madrid has reached a golden age?"

"It can be said, but this is not the end, this is just the beginning, and we will continue to achieve higher achievements."

"So far, no team has defended the Champions League. Do you think Atletico Madrid has a chance?"

"We have every chance, at least this season, we are the only team in the whole of Europe that has had a chance."

Just as the three of them were being interviewed one after another, the final voting results came out.

"Okay, the voting results have come out, and now representatives of the press corps and UEFA President Platini will take the stage together, and they will announce this year's European player award together." When Platini took the stage, He Wei's words also became agitated.

Platini came to the stage, took the envelope handed over by the hostess, simply opened it and said: "~~~Lin goal!!"

"Linger~~~It's Ringer~~~Congratulations to Ringer!!" He Wei said loudly: "Congratulations to him, he won this year's European Player of the Year Award, he became the first outside of Europe and South America to win the European Player of the Year Award." The best player award!"

"This is also the first time Ringer has won a gold-rich individual award after joining Europe, but we believe that this will never be his end. In a few months, he will go to the FIFA Ballon d'Or again." Attack!!"

There was warm applause at the scene, and Ringer stepped forward to take the trophy, which was an ugly trophy, like a short-sleeved jersey, and the upper body of an athlete with open hands but no arms and no head.

"I would like to thank UEFA and the press corps for awarding me this award. This is a great encouragement for me. I am very, very happy to receive this award, which proves that my performance on the pitch has been more recognized. "Linger began to step forward to give his acceptance speech.

"We had a fantastic season but football is a team sport and I have to thank my teammates and Coach Simeone, without their support I would not have been able to win this trophy."

"At the same time, I would also like to thank the fans who supported me. Their support is the biggest motivation to move forward. I also want to thank my parents. They are here today. It is very important for me to receive this award under their witness. happy thing."

Ringer won the best player in Europe, and he must be interviewed by reporters next.

"Lin, do you think you deserve the award? Shouldn't it be Ronaldo who won the award? His 17 Champions League goals are an unmatched record." First, the reporter from Portugal's Independent Television Tower complained to Ronaldo.

"I don't think there is anything wrong with winning the award. Ronaldo is a great player, but we beat Real Madrid in the Champions League and the league last season. I won the most important championship. It is normal to win the award over Ronaldo. thing."

"But many fans also call for Ronaldo to win?" The reporter of "Aspen" continued to ask.

"This is normal. Ronaldo is a top star who has played well for more than 10 years. He has many supporters, but I have only played well for two or three years. I can't please everyone. I respect other people's opinions, but I don't live by what other people think."

"Lin, many people say that your rapid rise has become Ronaldo Messi's biggest enemy, is that true?"

"It's not like that. I respect Ronaldo and Messi. They have achieved the highest level. These so-called hostile relations are deliberately hyped up by the media. We are all professional players and we are all doing our best to help ourselves. The team wins the honor, that's all."

"Are you going to win the Champions League again this year?" was the last question Linger answered.

"I've already won the Champions League with Bayern and Atletico Madrid, if I can win another, why not?"

※※※

The draw for the UEFA Champions League group stage ended, and Ringer won the best player in Europe, which was widely reported by the European media.

"The Chinese Rockets were elected the best player in Europe, the first time a non-European and South American player won the award"

"China Lin beat Ronaldo to lift the trophy, Melo's new competitor is born? "

On the whole, most of the media affirmed Ringer's election as the best player in Europe. He has indeed achieved higher achievements in the past season.

But also many media said that although Ringer won the best player in Europe first, he may not be able to beat Ronaldo or even Mei at the FIFA Ballon d'Or early next year. West.

Ribery was elected as the best player in Europe last year, and Iniesta, who helped Spain defend the European Cup, was elected as the best player in Europe the year before. However, they failed to win the final Golden Globe selection. Messi C Ronaldo.

Ringer also noticed this.

Linger originally thought that with his performance last season, he won the Champions League and La Liga double crown, and at the same time he was the La Liga Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot. Three hat-tricks, the Copa del Rey Golden Boot and other big and small honors are much better than Ronaldo.

But it was the final voting results for this European best player award, and Ringer found that his advantage was not as great as he thought.

Neuer got 9 votes, Ronaldo 19 and himself 24.

According to Ringer's own prediction, he should win by a big score. Although 5 votes is a big gap, it is by no means a big score.

You must know that Ribery, who won the Triple Crown last season, was elected with an absolute advantage of 36 votes. At that time, Messi had only 14 votes and Ronaldo had only 3 votes.But in the final Ballon d'Or selection, Ribery could only come in third.

Ringer knows that this is also a manifestation of the gap in reputation, or some regional discrimination. He is a star from Asia, and it is inherently more difficult to be recognized than stars in football resorts in Europe and South America.

Therefore, the half season before the start of the Golden Globe Awards is the time for him to try his best to canvass for himself, and use his performance to canvass for himself.
