Chapter 84 Peak
On December 18, the 2007 FIFA Awards Ceremony was held at the Zurich Opera House as scheduled.
The Brazilian became the biggest winner, winning a total of four awards, among which Kaka and Marta won the World Footballer of the Year and the World Footballer respectively, and Argentina, Brazil's old enemy, became the team of the year for the first time.
After FIFA President Blatter's speech, he first awarded the best player awards in the World Youth Championship in two age groups this year. Mateus and Chapuisate respectively handed over medals to Aguero, a member who led Argentina to win the U21 World Youth Championship, and Tony, the best player in the U17 World Youth Championship. In the hands of Cross.
The announcement of the awards interspersed with video reviews of FIFA events and important events in the past year. Brazilian Blue won the Best Player Award of the Beach Football World Cup held in Rio de Janeiro this year, Barcelona won the Fair Play Award, and club president La Porta accepted the trophy.
For many years, Barcelona has refused to accept commercial jersey chest advertisements, but provided them to UNICEF free of charge. In five years, they have donated $7.5 million to the UNICEF AIDS project, which has received a lot of praise.
FIFA President's Award was awarded to Bailey in recognition of his "contribution to the sport", England's famous Bobbi. Charlton delivered the award speech and the whole venue stood up and applauded, which made Bailey shed tears.
"I must share this award with all my friends, because in my life, nothing will be done by personal strength, and I also want to share it with my wife, family and God."
Finally, two major individual awards were announced. Although Marta, the leading star of the Brazilian women's football team, failed to lead the Brazilian team to win this year's Women's World Cup, she still beat German women's football captain Prinz and Brazilian teammate Christian to win the title of Miss World Football.
Marta cried indulgently last year and became one of the classic shots in previous awards. This year, she also burst into tears: "Thank God for giving me this moment of great joy. Of course, I also want to thank all the clubs and national teammates."
Then it came to the most exciting time. Some of the previous awards were just warming up. Only this final grand prize can attract everyone's attention.
In the end, FIFA President Blatter announced that Kaka would become the World Footballer of the Year, and Bailey handed the Golden Cup to Kaka.
Kaka was also excited at the moment he got the trophy: "Tonight is a special night for me, because when I was a child, I just dreamed of becoming a professional player of São Paulo and playing a game for the national team, that's all, but the Bible says that God may have given more than you want, which is exactly what I was born. Thank you for what happened.
At this time last year, Degan stood on the podium, but was finally teased by FIFA. This year, although Degan was nominated, he announced early that he would not participate in any awards ceremonies held by FIFA and UEFA.
But when Degan saw Kaka standing on the podium through live TV, he couldn't help but feel excited. Anyway, Kaka's ability to win the award at least proves that the Wright family is the best on the football field.
The Prince of Milan, who has just won the Golden Globe Award and raised the FIFA World Cup trophy, took over the title of 2007 World Footballer of the Year from FIFA tonight.
I have to say that today's world football is an era of young geniuses, shining that night with 25-year-old Kaka, as well as Messi, who has just turned 20, and 22-year-old Ronaldo.
Kaka said: "We are all young people, which means that football has begun a new era."
Over the years in AC Milan, Kaka's career has risen steadily, and this year has reached the highest peak in history. But even so, Kaka still performed very modestly in the final reporter interview. First of all, he expressed his gratitude to AC Milan: "If there is no excellent team, there can be no excellent ball. If my performance is excellent, first of all, I must thank my teammates for creating the best environment and conditions for me. In Tokyo, we achieved the victory of AC Milan, not the victory of Kaka. All of us are happy for this success that brought us to the top of the world. Every individual's performance is the result of the team's overall efforts. In the world of football, there is no personal honor. Even in the Champions League, if I hadn't played in such a strong team, I wouldn't have been able to achieve anything.
Subsequently, the problem inevitably returned to La Liga and Real Madrid, which has always been eyeing Kaka. Kaka said: "The Spanish Football League is one of the most attractive football leagues in Europe. There are many excellent teams and excellent players in Spain, but I play in AC Milan, and I am very happy about it. , and I believe that it will not be easy for me to leave AC Milan and play in La Liga. I once had the opportunity to play in La Liga in the past and I have refused. I just want to say: I stayed very well in AC Milan.
From Kaka's point of view, AC Milan has undoubtedly played the most critical role in his life growth and career development: "I have had many dreams since I was a child, such as winning the Champions League and other competitions. To be honest, I never thought that my dreams would come true so quickly. Playing in AC Milan is a very critical step in my life experience. I came to AC Milan at a very young age, and AC Milan gave me a lot of help.
With his excellent performance last year, Kaka was elected without any suspense and became the new World Footballer. Like the previous European Golden Globe Award, Kaka was also elected as the World Footballer of the World Footballer with a high vote, which is well-deserved.
His score reached 1047, twice as high as Messi, similar to Ronaldo, who won the World Cup and World Cup top scorer that year.
Two weeks after winning the European Golden Globe Award, he won the World Footballer of the Year. The card won the two highest personal honors of the year, and he also became the 10th double player in history.
Ronaldo, Basten, Wia, Zidane, Rivaldo, Figo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo has won twice, so Kaka is the 10th.
At the same time, Kaka also became the third world footballer in the history of AC Milan. Coincidentally, the three gentlemen are "Mr. Double Materials".
In 1992, Basten won the European Footballer of the Year and the World Footballer of the Year with his wonderful performance in the European Cup. In 1995, George. Via has won two major gentlemen with his amazing performance after Paris Saint-Germain and his transfer to AC Milan.
In 2004, Shevchenko was only a little short of "Mr. Double" and won the European Footballer of the Year, but Sheva ranked third in the World Footballer of the Year.
In the 12th year after Via, Kaka stood up and stood at a height that Sheva had never reached.
Before, every "Mr. Double Material" came forward and brought a prosperous life of AC Milan. Before and after Basten won the two major awards in 1992, it was the most successful period for Capello to coach AC Milan. In 1992 and 1993, AC Milan won two Serie A championships and scored It was the Champions League final of the 92/93 season, but that was also the last game of Basten.
In 1996, that is, the summer after Via won Mr. Shuang, AC Milan won the 15th league championship trophy in the club's history, but because Via was 29 years old when he joined AC Milan, they could not lead further glory.
Basten was 28 years old and 29 years old when he won the European Golden Globe Award. Kaka is much younger than the two predecessors. In 2007, when Kaka broke out, AC Milan won the European Cup, the European Super Cup and the World Club Cup. For various reasons, AC Milan wants to make a difference in the league this season. Hope is quite slim, but Kaka is still young, and he has more time to lead the team to ZTE.
2007 was a harvest year for Kaka. During this year, his team honors include the Champions Cup champion, the European Super Cup champion, the World Club Cup champion, and personal honors include the European Champions Cup best scorer, European Footballer, World Footballer of the Year, and World Football. Best Player and Player of the Year, he has won all the personal honors he can get.
"I'm sure that Kaka's progress has not come to an end, and he will continue to improve in the next five years. Of course, there are many excellent players in the world, but for now, Kaka is the best candidate for the world's footballer. This is what Brazilian king Pele said in an interview with reporters later.
Indeed, with AC Milan's predecessor George, who won the double material at the age of 29. Compared with Wia, the 25-year-old Mr. Kaka's improvement space is far from over. Kaka himself has been saying, "I'm still far from the peak, and I'm still making progress."
In Yokohama's Club Cup, Kaka has shown some different things. In the last Champions Cup, Kaka was the best scorer, and in the World Club Cup, Kaka's progress in passing is impressive.
AC Milan scored five goals in two games, and Kaka completed three assists alone. Kaka has made great progress in the timing, accuracy and creativity of passing the ball.
The three assists are different. Inzaghi's last goal in the final assist is relatively simple. When he was one-on-one with the opponent's goalkeeper, he saw Inzaghi in a better position, so he passed the latter to score, but such selflessness is more difficult than exquisite passing. The first assist in the final and the semi-final assist Seedorf One goal shows the biggest feature of Kaka. He has now been able to break through his ability to pull the ball and organically combine with the pass, especially in assisting Inzaghi's first goal in the final. At that time, Inzaghi's running position only happened in an instant. Kaka was surrounded by the opponent's defender and the shot was blocked. The situation was chaotic, but he still showed a clear mind and keen ability to read the game, and accurately sent the ball to Inzaghi's feet to form a final kill.
In addition to these three assists, in the first game against Yokohama, Kaka broke through the inner cut and hit Pirlo diagonally back in the middle, and suddenly knocked back to Seydorf in stoppage time.
After the European Golden Globe Awards, Kaka said: "This gives me more sense of responsibility."
This sense of responsibility immediately appeared in the World Club Cup. Kaka became more selfless and more willing to assist his teammates. He had less personal desire to perform and paid more attention to the team. This is a manifestation of the maturity of the football style.
As Kaka said after the World Footballer of the award, "the story with Real Madrid is over", Real Madrid has gradually given up the idea of introducing Kaka for two years.
Real Madrid Club President Calderon also said later: "Maybe I will cause some objections, but Kaka may not have a main position in the current Real Madrid team. Our team is now very perfect, and it is difficult for you to further improve the strength of the team."
Maybe Calderon's words are somewhat insincere, but there is no doubt that this is exactly what AC Milan Club wants to hear and see.
When Maldini is about to retire, Pirlo, Sedorf and others are in poor condition, when Ronaldo is still recovering, and Pato is still unable to appear, Kaka has become the flag of Milan. At this time, Kaka can't leave!
Degan also sent a text message to Kaka at the first time, expressing congratulations, but the more he saw Kaka so beautiful, the more Degan felt that Kaka's future in AC Milan was uncertain.
A World Club Cup, coupled with personal honor, is likely to cover up the current problems of Milan. Of course, there are some things that can't be covered up, but Berlusconi and others can't stand to deceive themselves. AC Milan already has the world's first star. By January, there will be another Brazilian genius to serve as the ball. At this time, does the team need to continue to bring in players?
Of course, if it is Berlusconi's favorite player, it's another matter. People all over the world know that Berlusconi has always been deeply in love with Ronaldinho with ecstasy teeth, but because the opponent is Barcelona's leading star, he can only sigh, but now Ronaldini Ao's life in Barcelona was not happy, so the porn babe was moved again!
"Kaka is already a well-deserved first person in world football. Now I think, why don't you come to the Brazilian fantasy quartet in AC Milan?"
