Chapter 705 Chapter 701: "Of course I hope I win the prize myself!"
Wenger supported Chen Fan in an interview with the London media: "I think Chen deserves the title of World Footballer of the Year. In the past year, he left us with too many classic games and too many classic moments.
Not only that, in many games, he helped the team win by himself. There are not many players who have reached this level in football history.
If Chen Du cannot win the title of World Footballer of the Year, I will doubt the fairness of the selection of World Footballer of the Year! "
The French said this very harshly. As long as it is not his own disciple who wins the World Footballer, then the World Footballer will lose its justice.
Manchester City's media analyst Wenger said the reason behind this: "As a giant, if there is no World Footballer, it is obviously very embarrassing.
Henry used to be very close to the World Footballer of the Year, and now that Chen has a chance to get it, Wenger obviously hopes that he can get it.
However, based on the analysis of the current situation, Sneijder is more likely to win the World Player of the Year because he has won more championship trophies! "
Who is the World Footballer of the Year?
Until it's revealed, no one can be sure.
On January [-]th, fans all over the world will turn their attention to the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Zurich, Switzerland, because this year's FIFA awards ceremony will be held here, and various awards will be announced.
This year is a historic one, as France Football's Ballon d'Or and FIFA's World Player of the Year have merged!
The combined name is called the "FIFA Ballon d'Or".
The previous Ballon d'Or was awarded to the best European football players every year by the French football magazine "French Football" since 1956. It is also one of the most prestigious and influential football awards in world football.
From 1956 to 1994, the selection objects were limited to players with European nationality. The first player to win the award was Stanley Matthews who played for Blackpool.
Since 1995, the selection objects have been relaxed to players who play for football clubs belonging to member countries of the UEFA Union. George Weah, a Liberian player who played for AC Milan, became the first non-European player to win the award after the restructuring.
Since 2007, the scope of selection has been extended to all professional football players in the world, and the judges have also expanded to professional football journalists around the world.
Before 1994, the Golden Globe Awards were limited to players with European nationality; in 1995, the selection objects were relaxed to players who played for football clubs belonging to member countries of the European Football Association Union; in 2007, the selection scope was expanded to all professional football players in the world. Therefore, the Golden Globe winners before 2007 are often called the European Footballer.
The predecessor of FIFA's "World Footballer" is the "World's Best Player" jointly organized by FIFA and the International Federation of Football History and Statistics.
In 1991, FIFA began to hold it independently, and merged the original awards and renamed it "World Footballer".
In 1991, Lothar Matthaus became the first recipient of the award; in 1996, Ronaldo, who was only 20 years old, became the youngest recipient of the award; in 2006, Fabio Cannavaro became the first defender to receive the award.
The judges of the World Player of the Year are different from the Golden Globe Awards, mainly voted by the national teams and captains of various associations.
The head coaches of the national teams of each member association vote for the top 3 candidates, but they cannot choose members of the national team they coach.
The player selected first gets 5 points, the player selected second gets 3 points, the player selected third gets 1 point, and then the total points are calculated based on the number of votes of the players, and the player with the first number of votes is elected.
Who will win the first "FIFA Ballon d'Or" after the merger?
At [-] o'clock in the evening, the lights in Zurich first came on, and journalists from all over the world gathered outside the Dunhill Hotel.
Under bursts of screams and flashing lights, the heavyweights in today's world football appeared one by one.
Of course, the screams were for the five candidates, the Barcelona trio causing a stir, Xavi in a black suit, Iniesta in a blue suit and Messi in a black suit.
Among the five candidates, Barcelona occupies three seats, which just shows that Barcelona has dominated European football in recent years.
The three waved to the reporter, walked into the hotel calmly with smiles on their faces.
Not long after the Barcelona trio left, Sneijder and Chen Fan appeared. The screams became louder and the flashes flashed faster.
Because these two are the most competitive among the five, the new Golden Globe after the merger tonight is very likely to be produced between them.
Wearing a blue suit, Sneijder enjoyed the atmosphere. This was the first time in his career that he entered the final shortlist of the World Footballer of the Year!
Undoubtedly, this moment is the pinnacle of his career.
Chen Fan, who was wearing a black suit, also entered the final list of World Footballer of the Year for the first time, and he felt very novel.
"It feels good!"
Sneijder whispered in Chen Fan's ear, "This is what it feels like to be at the top!"
Chen Fan nodded with a smile. Both of them are from Ajax, so they have a natural sense of intimacy.
The two waved to the reporters and were about to enter the hotel, but the reporters called Chen Fan.
Some time ago, when the media were discussing who would win this year's World Footballer, none of the five final candidates accepted media interviews.
The media wanted to use this opportunity to hope that Chen Fan could speak up.
"Go!"
Sneijder patted Chen Fan on the shoulder, signaling him to accept an interview from the media.
Chen Fan thought for a while and said to him, "Then I'll go."
The reporters were very excited when they saw Chen Fan walking towards them, and they got what they wanted.
"Chen, how do you feel now? What's your mood?"
A Dutch reporter asked first.
Chen Fan said with a smile: "This is the first time I have participated in this kind of award ceremony, and it is more of a novelty."
A reporter said loudly: "In the future, you will come to participate every year!"
This remark caused a lot of laughter, and Chen Fan said with a smile: "Thank you! I hope it is the same!"
Laughter was louder.
"Chen, let's predict who will win the prize tonight?"
asked a Spanish reporter.
If this is a "pit", it is definitely a "big pit". Will Chen Fan jump into it?
Chen Fan said with a smile: "If possible, I certainly hope that I will win the award myself!"
The Spanish reporter didn't expect Chen Fan to answer like this. This kind of answer not only reflects self-confidence, but also contains humility, which is almost impeccable.
There were applause and cheers, and the reporters applauded Chen Fan's EQ.
Chen Fan suddenly became serious, and said: "Of course, I hope Sneijder wins this award, because he has indeed won more championships than me, and because he was in very good form last year."
When Chen Fan is serious, he usually has a smile on his face when he is interviewed by reporters.
Therefore, the reporters all thought he was telling the truth.
"Of course, there is another point. I'm still young, so I can't get it this year, and next year, the year after..."
This sentence made some reporters uneasy.
