Chapter 18 World Footballer

World Footballer of the Year's predecessor is FIFA and IFFHS International Football History and Statistics Association, which jointly organized the world's best player selection. FIFA merged the award in 1991 and began to officially and independently hold it, and changed its name to World Footballer Selection, in order to make FIFA Mr. is different from the selection of World Football magazine, and the players selected by World Football magazine are gradually called the "world's best players".

With the declining influence of World Football magazine, FIFA's World Footballer deserves to become the authentic world's number one.

In 1990, German Mateus was successfully elected as the last IFFHS and FIFA world's best player. In 1991, Mateus was successfully elected as the first FIFA World Footballer of the Year, and he also became the first player to combine FIFA and World Football.

The selection of World Football relies on fan voting and can be regarded as a representative of public opinion, but because the magazine is limited to English readers, it is slightly biased.

FIFA's selection relies on the votes of the coaches and captains of each national team around the world, and the biggest loophole is the uneven level of voters.

Voters in many small football countries do not have enough grasp of the dynamics of football, and the selection is often more famous than strong. But this also reflects the characteristics of this selection. FIFA World Footballer is an affirmation of players' reputation, achievements, career contributions and football status.

Degan knew that he had been included in the list of candidates by Antienes, but he didn't take it seriously at all. Although everyone wanted that trophy, in Degan's opinion, the achievements of a player could not be explained by a trophy.

However, since he has been selected, of course, Degan certainly doesn't mind going to go to Zurich. Anyway, it's the winter break. He just takes a vacation and takes a break. These days, he is busy recovering every day, and his body also shows some fatigue.

Digan was successfully selected into the last three candidates for the World Footballer, which caused a lot of sensation in Florence, although Florence also came out of World Footballer Robert. Baggio, but when Baggio picked up the trophy, he was no longer playing in Florence.

Batistuta has also been selected, but unfortunately he did not make it into the final three-person list. Degan's selection can be said to have ushered in an era of Fiorentina football, although Degan has not played even a game for Fiorentina.

Although it is not taken seriously, it is at least an honor, which is a recognition of his achievements. If he doesn't get together, won't he be sorry for himself?

Degan remembers that this year's World Footballer was finally awarded to Cannavaro, the captain of the Italian national team. He held the title of World Cup, which was the biggest dependence of Cannavaro's final title.

However, listen to the voice of the media and you will know that Degan's voice is not small. Although he finally hated the finals in the World Cup, Degan's performance in the past year has been amazing. He led the situation in the Champions League, and AC Milan, which was full of wounded soldiers, finally won the cup. On the stage of the World Cup, it was almost In the end, Belgium, which led the weak, finally made it to the finals.

Although the World Cup has passed, many people still say that if Degan hadn't been injured, the Italian's reinforced concrete defense line would still not stop his madness.

Although Cannavaro is interested in the aura of the first division champion and the World Cup champion, no one can hide the brilliance of Degan when it comes to performance throughout the year.

Although he knows the results of his previous life, Degan can't help but have some expectations for the title of World Footballer. For a player, who can't be unmoved when it comes to personal honor after working hard for a year?

For fans, this is an opportunity to see if the players they support can reach the top. If the players they support can become the number one in the world, they will also feel honored. As the saying goes, this relationship is vividly reflected in fans and their idols.

In addition, for coaches, this is also a prize worthy of attention, because if their players can win the award, it means that they are good at coaching, which is also their own achievements.

Of course, if Degan really gets that trophy in the end, he will definitely have nothing to do with Ancelotti.

As early as the beginning of December, the media began to speculate on the candidates for world football.

In addition to Digan and Cannavaro, one of the three final selected people is Ronaldinho, the last World Footballer of Barcelona.

Zidane, who had been guessed before, ranked fourth and failed to enter the final three-person list, which is a great pity for fans who like baldness.

The media are speculating that the World Footballer selected by FIFA should be born between Digan and Cannavaro. After all, although Ronaldinho led the team to win the long-lost La Liga championship, it is still lighter than the European and world-level champions.

Digan's advantage lies in his Champions League champion and his massive goals in 2006. Cannavaro's advantage is his World Cup champion and the captain of the Italian national team.

Even Degan's call for the World Footballer of the Year is even higher. After all, this honor has been given to a defensive player. In the history of the World Footballer of more than ten years, the closest to this trophy is Maldini, who once won a second place.

As for Ronaldinho, although his performance in 2013 was also good, he lost to Degan in the Champions League, and his performance in the World Cup was very sluggish, which directly led to the elimination of the Brazilian team by Belgium. Although he had the aura of the Brazilian footballer, this time, the media thought that it should have nothing to do with him. He went to award The award ceremony should be for soy sauce.

In the club's honor, Ronaldinho has only one league champion, and the most important Champions League champion is not. In the national team, his performance throughout the World Cup is very flat, showing his status in Barcelona at all. His status in the Brazilian national team is not as important as people think. Nothing The champion and the average performance of the World Cup are Ronaldinho's hard injury.

However, Digan doesn't feel that Ronaldinho really has no chance at all. Everyone knows the virtue of FIFA's group, that is, a group of buttery politicians, who do anything strange, and Degan won't be surprised.

Who let Barcelona be the target of FIFA and UEFA, who let people play sexy football now, and who let Ronaldinho be Barcelona's leading star?

Degan went to Zurich accompanied by Mendes, where he will also meet many familiar faces. In addition to the most important award of the World Footballer of the Year, this award ceremony will also award FIFA's best lineup of the year.

At the airport in Zurich, Degan also met Ancelotti, who was selected as the best coach of the year this time. With him, he was selected as the head coach of the Italian national team, Lippi, and Barcelona coach Ricard.

Amman's best coach, Ancelotti's main opponent will be Lippi, because Lippi led the team to win the World Cup. In Degan's opinion, there is no doubt about the final ownership of this award. Everyone knows where Anpatti's Champions Champions League trophy came from.

Generally speaking, the media is more optimistic about Lippi. After all, in terms of the limelight, Lippi has exploded Ancelotti. Although Ancelotti has won a Champions League, he is far less than Lippi in terms of championship weight.

He doesn't care at all about who wins the best coach's trophy and has nothing to do with Degan. Of course, in his opinion, Antienis is more qualified to compete for this award than Ancelotti and Ricard. Unfortunately, Antienis does not have a champion, and the basis of the award is the number of champions.

Digan still has some expectations for the World Footballer. After all, this is the highest award to a player in international football. Look at the previous World Footballer of the winners, they are all world-class superstars. If he can win this award, then there is no doubt that he will also jump from a first-class star in Europe to real A positive world-class superstar, such a prospect is still a little powerful for Degan.

And for Degan, this award has some special meanings. Because of the injury, he has not appeared on the court for nearly half a year. After suffering such a serious injury, many players are difficult to return to the peak state, or even collapse.

Digan has not yet been tested for the competition. He hopes to use this trophy to help himself, so that he can return to the public view more smoothly and use this award to motivate himself to start again.

And this award can prove that his efforts are rewarding and meaningful, and can encourage him to continue on this road, which is an affirmation of his life.

Although Degan doesn't care about other people's opinions, he at least has to give himself an explanation.

"I just went to ask an acquaintance. This time, you have a lot of hope of winning the award!"

Digan smiled and motioned Mendes to sit down: "There is great hope, which means that the disappointment will also be great, Helhao, peace of mind, peace of mind! It's no big deal!"

Is it really like what he said?

Digan asked himself, maybe when he really lost to Cannavaro, he couldn't be so free, at least he couldn't hug Cannavaro and congratulate him.
