The World Cup qualifying play-offs have ended on November 20. According to the original regulations, the deadline for voting for the Golden Globe Award was November 15.
Five days is enough time for FIFA to complete the statistics. In other words, the final results have actually been released at this time, and they just have to wait for the announcement on the day of the awards ceremony.
But on the 20th, there was new news on FIFA's official website, announcing that the voting deadline for the 2013 Ballon d'Or has been extended from November 15th to November 29th.
It was directly extended from 5 days before to 9 days later.
In this regard, FIFA's official response is that because the recovery rate of votes has not met the standard, it can only rely on an extension to ensure that all FIFA member states and authoritative media can participate in the voting.
But that’s it. Another major operation of FIFA is even more puzzling: they also announced that voters who have already made a decision can change their decision...
This is the only postponement of voting in the history of the Golden Globe Awards, and it's hard not to think about conspiracy theories.
Messi was injured not long ago, which also means that he will have almost no chance to play in the next half month. Lin Yun and Cristiano Ronaldo can still take advantage of the last period of time to perform well and make the final sprint. Xi could only sit and stare.
As for Ronaldo, many people believe that this extension is just for him.
After all, the period of postponement happened to be the match between Portugal and Sweden, and Ronaldo did come down to earth in these two games and contributed amazing performances. Everything was too much of a coincidence.
"...It is worth mentioning that during the half-month period when the Ballon d'Or selection was postponed, the Portuguese national team ushered in two play-off matches in the European zone of the World Cup qualifiers - November 15th and November 20th respectively. 19th.
In these two play-offs, Cristiano Ronaldo performed like a god, scoring a total of 4 goals in the two games, eliminating Sweden led by Ibrahimovic, and helping Portugal successfully enter the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil.
It is almost foreseeable that such a dazzling performance will definitely allow Ronaldo to get more votes, and may even surpass Lin Yun and Messi to become the most popular.
Some media believe that the reason why FIFA uncharacteristically extended the voting deadline was to ease the tense relationship between then-president Sepp Blatter and Real Madrid.
Of course, many people say that FIFA's extension of the voting date is sending a signal to people participating in the vote: they want to change the voting results.
Obviously, FIFA already knows the final result. It is very likely that the result is not in line with Blatter’s expectations, and this has created a so-called postponement incident..."
The postponement has made this year's Ballon d'Or competition even more confusing.
There is one thing to say, even if there is a conspiracy in this, the main thing is that Ronaldo strives for his own success. If he does not have this ability, no matter how much the delay is, it will just be a joke...
In any case, there is not much time left for Lin Yun.
There are only 9 days left before the voting deadline, and Arsenal only have two games to play in these 9 days.
One is the home game against Southampton in the league, and the other is the home game against Marseille in the Champions League.
The most fortunate thing for Lin Yun now is that his performance in the game against Manchester United was not bad and he was not completely suppressed by Ronaldo.
Then the remaining two games become even more important.
He must show a more terrifying performance to completely surpass Ronaldo and prevent all accidents from happening.
But God didn't want him to get through so easily. In the game against Southampton, although Lin Yun opened the scoring for the team shortly after the game started, he was tackled by the opponent's defender and left early in the tenth minute of the game.
This casts a shadow over the hearts of all Arsenal fans and Lin Yun fans.
Although in the end, Arsenal won the game 3-0 without any blood thanks to Giroud's brace, no one was happy.
In a focus match in the 14th round of La Liga, Real Madrid defeated Almeria 5-0 away from home.
C-Ronaldo scored in the first 3 minutes, Benzema and Bale expanded the score, Isco passed and shot, Morata added the icing on the cake, Real Madrid won 4 consecutive league victories.
Lin Yun and Ronaldo are considered to be tied this time, but Lin Yun's injury undoubtedly makes the competition between the two full of uncertainty.
Lin Yun's injury is actually not a big problem. He was alive and kicking again on the third day after the game. However, Wenger was still quite worried. If it weren't for the fact that this is a critical period for Lin Yun to win the Ballon d'Or, he wouldn't even have played against Marseille. They won't let him appear.
But even so, Lin Yun was still put on the substitute list for this Champions League.
Before Marseille came to London, there was another movement in the system.
"The challenge mission has been released, please pay attention to check it."
"Task name: Iron Man;"
"Task description: Score five dollars in the game against Marseille;"
"Task difficulty: 6 stars;"
"Mission reward: Nedved's unique characteristic 'Iron Warrior'."
"Penalty for failure: Permanent loss of the chance to obtain the 'Iron Warrior'."
…
There are two famous iron men in football, Nedved and Lampard.
It's not that they won't get injured, but they rarely get seriously injured, and they recover quickly after being injured. They have the most amazing physique in the entire football world.
Lin Yun had one serious injury and two minor injuries less than a year after his debut. He was somewhat of a glass person, so he had to get this reward no matter what.
But the question is... 6 star difficulty?
Coming on as a substitute and scoring five dollars, is this what the hell a human can do? ? ? ! ! !
"Do you want to give up..."
Lin Yun was undecided.
If you give up, you will lose this opportunity at most. You can still get a mission to reward "Iron Warrior" in the future, but if you fail, you will never get this feature.
Seeing his frown, Lin Ming and Isabella thought he was thinking about the Golden Globe Awards, so they couldn't help but make eye contact. In the end, Isabella walked over, sat next to him, and patted him. On his shoulder, "There is nothing to worry about. We have done our best, An Tianming, we have done well enough. If we don't get it this time, we will try next time. Anyway, we are still young and there are plenty of opportunities."
Lin Ming also consoled him: "Yes, Ronaldo only won his first Golden Ball when he was 21 years old. He has just passed the break, and he will die young if he is wise. There is nothing wrong with taking it slow."
Even with her Chinese proficiency, Isabella was stunned for five seconds before she realized what "precocious wisdom must lead to premature death" meant. Immediately, a lady version of the devil flew over and kicked her, "Can you speak?"
Lin Ming smiled bitterly: "That's what it means anyway, you have to leave yourself some room for improvement, right?"
In fact, in terms of performance alone, Cristiano Ronaldo has only shined in one or two games, and he is definitely not as good as Lin Yun, who has been shining all year long. But unfortunately, FIFA's postponement is so disturbing that they almost all I think Cristiano Ronaldo has already decided to win this year's Ballon d'Or.
This was a wake-up call for Lin Yun.
Yes, this is not just the Iron Warrior, but also the Golden Ball.
No matter what conspiracy he had, it would all disappear when he scored five goals as a substitute in the Champions League, right?
After thinking about it, Lin Yun relaxed completely.
He silently accepted the challenge and then showed his parents a bright smile.
"I understand. If you can't fight, come back next year."
After hearing his words, Lin Ming and Isabella finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Golden Globe awards are secondary. They are afraid that this stupid kid will get into trouble and they will have trouble with them.
Neither of them noticed that Lin Yun was relaxed, but his eyes were as firm as iron for the first time.
