[Arsenal marches towards the Champions League! 】
This was the front page headline of a very pro-Arsenal newspaper in the London area after the game, to a certain extent, the North London Standard, Arsenal’s mouthpiece.
Although the newspaper's stance is pro-Arsenal.
But in terms of content, it is actually very similar to what other English newspapers reported after the Champions League.
".With Arsenal, Yello is the favorite to win the Champions League this season!"
Such a conclusion.
It’s not just the opinion of North London’s Arsenal mouthpiece, the North London Standard.
Newspapers including the "Mirror", "Daily Mail", "Sky Sports" and other newspapers all believe that by locking in the group one round in advance and ranking first, Arsenal has swept away the struggles in the Champions League group stages in the past few seasons and fully It illustrates their overall strength.
And for the players and coaches of Arsenal.
Can securing first place in the group one round ahead of schedule prove that he can challenge for the Champions League this season?
Before the start of the season, Arsenal certainly had not thought about "how we are going to celebrate winning the Champions League this season."
After all, it is unprecedented.
And now Arsenal is also very low-key.
Wenger did not want to put too much pressure on his players. He said in an interview with Sky Sports after the game: "The Champions League championship is of course what every team dreams of, but we don't want to fail in the group stage. Thinking about these things before the game is over, locking the first place in the group one round in advance allows us to have more capital for rotation in the following schedule, which is of great significance for the intensive schedule that is about to enter December."
Indeed, for Arsenal, being able to lock in the first place in the group before the devil's schedule arrives, at least allows the team's main players to avoid the pain of traveling back and forth.
In the last round of the group stage, they can send a substitute team to the away game - from England to Greece, the distance is quite far.
After defeating Montpellier 2-0 at home, the team's next game was an away game against Aston Villa three days later.
Aston Villa was a force that could not be ignored in English football more than a dozen years before the Premier League era.
Aston Villa was a force that could not be ignored in the early days of English football's earliest league development. It once dominated English football more than a hundred years ago.
Aston Villa has won the top flight of English football seven times.
However, except for the championship in the 1980/198 season, the other six championships were all before the distant 1909. Even except for the 1909/1910 season (Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty), the remaining five championships were all at the end of the 19th century. It was obtained during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty.
However, after entering the 20th century, Aston Villa's dominance gradually disappeared and they sank for a time. However, in the 1980s, Aston Villa briefly reached its peak.
In the 1981/82 season, Aston Villa represented England and reached the European Champions Club Cup final, defeating the powerful Bayern Munich of the Federal Republic of Germany 1-0, keeping the Champions League trophy in England and defending the English team from 1977 to 1982. The honor of dominating the European Champions Cup for 6 consecutive years.
Aston Villa has also become the fourth English team to win the Champions League after Manchester United, Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
After entering the Premier League era, this team's results were tepid, but they were still firmly in the middle of the league. No team dared to underestimate them when they were at Villa Park at home.
In this game, Arsenal encountered a stubborn blockage from Aston Villa on the away road.
The game entered a very fierce confrontation with the cheers of the home team fans.
Arteta was injured in a confrontation in the first half and came off the field, and Chamberlain came on as an emergency substitute.
At the end of the first half, Aston Villa midfielder Agbonlahor shot a long-range shot through Arsenal's goal.
At the end of the first half, the home team Aston Villa led 1-0.
In the second half, Aston Villa completely shrunk back and started a defensive counterattack.
But in the end they failed to withstand Arsenal's crazy counterattack in the second half.
Yello smashed the goal guarded by Brad with a header in the penalty area, helping Arsenal find the way to victory.
In the 78th minute of the game, Ye Luo completed a series of passes on the wing and then provided a nanny assist to Chamberlain who came in.
With the cake in his mouth, Chamberlain only had to lift his foot slightly to send the ball into the empty goal.
One to two!
Arsenal completed the lead.
after this game.
The Premier League has fully entered its December schedule.
Arsenal's first two games in December are against Fulham at home on December 2 and Swansea away at home on December 7. In these two games, Arsenal won one and drew one. They were tied by Swansea in Wales. The final score was 2 to 2. This situation made Arsenal the favorite to win the championship.
This will be followed by the final round of the Champions League group stage on December 10.
Arsenal, who went away entirely with substitutes, youth team and reserve players, lost to Olympiakos 1-2.
Arsenal lost for the first time in the Champions League this season!
But what fans are paying attention to now is not this, but the Golden Globe Award.
With the cameras coming to an end for the Champions League and Europa League group stages.
UEFA will conduct the draw ceremony for the Champions League round of 16 and the UEFA round of 32 games.
at the same time.
FIFA will announce the winner of the "FIFA Ballon d'Or" in December, combining the two awards of World Player of the Year and Ballon d'Or.
After the two awards of World Football and Ballon d'Or were merged.
Messi has won two FIFA Ballon d'Or awards in 2010 and 2011.
Can he win three consecutive Ballon d'Ors?
And can Ye Luo win the Golden Globe Award this year?
These questions have become hot topics in the media as December approaches.
Especially as the voting for the Golden Globe Awards begins, there are more news reports about the Golden Globe Awards on the pages of media from various countries.
The media in Dragon Country is undoubtedly very excited. In the past, the selection of the Golden Globe Award had little to do with Dragon Country football. Everyone just watched the excitement.
But this year is different.
Ye Luo is now the biggest favorite for this year's Golden Globe Award.
Therefore, when the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony was only ten days away, the media in Dragon Kingdom began to remind fans of various knowledge points about the Golden Globe Awards on their pages every day.
Longguo National Television also personally came out to build momentum for Ye Luo.
Video footage of Yello's various wonderful performances last season frequently appeared on the national television sports channel. At the same time, the sports channel began to build momentum for the live broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony 20 days in advance.
foreseeable.
This year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony will definitely hit a new high in ratings in Dragon Country.
The media hype in Dragon Country is basically self-interest.
Because this will not affect the selection results of the FIFA Ballon d'Or much - because in terms of media influence, let alone the Dragon Country's football media, even if the entire Dragon Country's media is bundled together, it will be very influential in the world. Not enough.
The elder once said.
Nine out of ten media workers in the propaganda department are just idlers.
What can you do?
Now domestic journalism and communication students and even professors.
Don't expect them to sit upright and do a good job in publicity work.
They themselves are a group of repeaters of the Western public opinion machine in China whose cerebral cortex has been washed as smooth as drops of water by other larger communication agencies.
So a real publicity campaign.
It’s still up to Yello himself—primarily Mendes and the PR department of his agency.
Mendes certainly has a very extensive network of contacts in Europe.
Otherwise he would not have become one of the most successful agents in Europe.
under his operation.
During this period, major European media also frequently reported on Yello's various achievements last season.
Don't think that such publicity is in vain.
After the merger of the World Footballer and the Ballon d'Or, "fame" is obviously an important part of the factors that influence whether he can be elected.
In accordance with the selection rules of the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
In addition to the votes from more than 100 authoritative sports media around the world - among relatively professional votes, the votes of these more than 100 authoritative sports media only account for one-third of the total votes!
The other two-thirds of the vote.
It is the vote of the national team captain and head coach of each country.
It is difficult to guarantee that most of these votes were cast entirely from a professional perspective.
There are many factors that influence the voting tendency of captains and head coaches of various national teams, but the most important one is reputation!
Because there are more than 200 national teams in the world, and among them there are more than 100 national teams ranked lower than the Dragon Kingdom national team - you can count on national teams that are lower than the Dragon Kingdom national team in the international rankings. How professional can captains and head coaches be?
Among them, national teams such as Guam, Bhutan, and the Maldives are simply teams composed of amateur players.
The coach is a physical education teacher, and the players are bricklayers, crew members, and chefs. Playing football is just a part-time job.
Their voting choices may be similar to those of fans.
Basically, they vote based on their reputation.
The votes of the captains and coaches of the national team composed of amateur players have the same weight as the votes of World Cup champion Spanish team captain Casillas and head coach Del Bosque.
Therefore, according to some recent analyses, although Yello's performance last season was perfect, from a professional perspective, no other player can be more convincing than Yello in this year's Ballon d'Or competition. .
But the Golden Globe Awards will have a large number of "irrational" votes.
These votes, which completely consider the player's reputation without regard to the performance of the season, may ultimately influence the selection of the Ballon d'Or winner - Catalan media analysis also admitted that this may be the only time Messi can win the Ballon d'Or. The reason for the award.
Because Messi is more famous than Yello.
Although Yeluo has suddenly emerged in the past two seasons and attracted the attention of football around the world.
But in terms of time of fame, Messi is better. Therefore, Messi has more die-hard fans than Yello in other countries except Dragon Kingdom.
But Ye Luo also has advantages.
Because he is an Asian player - Asia is the largest continent in the world and has the largest number of national teams. Some of the national teams may vote for Yelo out of consideration for the overall interests of Asian football.
The national team coaches and captains of South Korea and Japan were asked by the media about Ballon d'Or voting.
But they kept it secret - it was clear that they were not prepared to write Yelo's name on the ballot.
This is normal. After all, the two countries must be envious and jealous of the appearance of Mr. Golden Ball as their neighbor, Dragon Kingdom.
But some other small countries may consider the overall interests of Asian football and vote for Yeluo.
However, the media can only speculate on the specific voting situation.
Sometimes even the voting information spoken in public may not be accurate - human thinking is not transparent. What can you do if others say one thing and do another?
Some media also asked Dragon Country national team coach Camacho and captain Zheng Zhi.
Of course, in the Ballon d'Or voting, it is also stipulated that the captain and head coach of the national team cannot vote for players from their own country.
Camacho said when facing the camera: "Of course I hope Yello can win the Ballon d'Or, but I don't have the power to vote for him, so my voting order is Cristiano Ronaldo, Iniesta, and Ribery."
Everyone knows.
Camacho's voting order is actually a sign of goodwill to Yelo.
Because the only person who may threaten Ye Luo in this year's Ballon d'Or is Messi.
Camacho's first, second and third-order votes did not select Messi.
It's just bringing down Messi's score.
In other words, Camacho couldn't vote for Yello, but he didn't vote for Messi either!
This is obviously helping Ye Luo.
National team captain Zheng Zhi also made public his vote. His vote was similar to that of the national team coach, except that he put Ribery at the top: Ribery, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Iniesta.
The head coach and captain of the national team have expressed their kindness to Yeluo in the media.
And let the media of Long Country be quite excited!
Many media have speculated that this is an attempt by the national team to improve relations with Yello.
But the media's excitement is destined to be in vain.
Because when did the head coach and captain have the final say in the Dragon Country national team?
The media and fans of Dragon Country are destined to be happy in vain.
But everyone is used to it.
When will the Dragon Country Football Association consider the mood of the fans?
Does fan preference matter to FA bureaucrats?
For Ye Luo.
He also doesn't care much about the voting of the Dragon Country national team and captain, and he doesn't care much about the attitude of the Football Association.
Anyway, their influence on the selection of the Golden Globe Awards is almost zero.
After the final round of the Champions League group stage.
Ye Luo did receive a call from his public relations manager, Ms. Vera.
On the phone, Ms. Vera told Ye Luo.
The Dragon Country Football Association privately contacted Ye Luo's agent Mendes, hoping to send FA officials to attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
Ye Luo's answer to this was: "Let them stay where they can to cool down!"
Of course Ye Luo knew that the people from the Football Association wanted to attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony together - just for fun.
How could Ye Luo give them this opportunity.
Later, the domestic media broke the news.
Some public opinion believed that the Football Association was trying to push Ye Luo down, but Ye Luo did not give any face to the Football Association and was simply rude.
But in fact, most fans support Yello's approach.
Do whatever you can't do, just grab the first place.
"Go to hell with the FA!"
This news not only did not affect Ye Luo.
Instead, Longguo Football Association encountered a new round of Internet explosions.
Let them hide inside the turtle shell again.
Yello, accompanied by Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger and Arsenal club executives, flew to Zurich, Switzerland, which is the headquarters of FIFA.
The reason why Ye Luo came here is of course because the top three in this year's Golden Globe Awards have been born.
The top three are Messi, Ribery and Yello.
All three were accompanied by their respective clubs.
Arrive in Zurich.
In Zurich, Yelo received unprecedented courtesy. From the moment he got off the plane, the fans cheered, the media paid attention, and the global media paid attention.
Many of these superstar treatments have fallen on Ye Luo.
When entering the awards hall, FIFA helmsman Sepp Blatter was already standing near the door.
After seeing Ye Luo, Brat's eyes lit up.
"Oh oh oh, welcome to our Mr. Dragon King." Brat greeted him with a smile.
Ye Luo smiled and shook hands with Blatter and hugged him.
Then he went to his seat under the guidance of the staff.
"Why is he so enthusiastic about me?" Ye Luo asked Ms. Vera beside him a little strangely.
"Isn't this obvious?" Ms. Vera shrugged, "You know the conflict between Blatter and Platini, right?"
"Oh~~~" Ye Luo suddenly realized.
Blatter is certainly not a good person, but he and Platini are mortal enemies.
Because Platini and UEFA do not have a very good relationship with FIFA - the main issue is of course the division of interests, which has led to deep conflicts between the two parties.
FIFA and the continental football confederations do not have a strict superior-subordinate relationship, nor do the continental football confederations and national football confederations have a superior-subordinate relationship.
There are many entangled interests between the two parties.
For example, according to FIFA regulations.
The Football Association must be a private institution.
But as we all know, what is going on with the Dragon National Football Team?
But do FIFA and AFC dare to impose a ban on Longguo football?
They dare not.
Because they don’t want to offend the big country
But that year, FIFA banned the Kuwait national team for two years on the grounds that the Kuwait Football Association had a special relationship with Kuwait officials.
After all, the football industry has now gradually entered an era of stock competition.
It is certainly possible to continue to grow the pie, but it is difficult.
So now everyone is focusing on how to divide the cake.
And among them.
Both FIFA and UEFA have taken the biggest piece of the pie in the football industry.
FIFA has the golden signature of the World Cup!
You know, the benefits from hosting a World Cup are comparable to hosting an Olympic Games.
The direct revenue from one World Cup exceeds 4 billion US dollars!
The World Cup is FIFA's money bag, and FIFA takes the lion's share of the pie.
And what about the other parts?
Apart from the World Cup, most of the pie in other parts of the football industry has been cut away by UEFA.
There is no way, who made Europe the center of football, with major leagues and giant teams attracting the attention of fans all over the world.
The best athletes around the world aim to play for Europe's top clubs.
Fans all over the world like to watch high-level events such as the Champions League, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Serie A.
Originally, the club competitions in South America were comparable to those in Europe.
However, as Brazil, Argentina and other countries have encountered economic crises one after another, Argentina has regressed from a developed country to a developing country.
The league is in disarray and is economically crushed by major European leagues.
In the past, players like Pele played for Brazilian giants like Santos. Even if he did not go to Europe to play, it would not affect him from becoming the world's top football player.
But now, as long as a little monster appears in South America, it will basically become the prey of European clubs.
For example, Neymar, Pele's successor, just transferred to Barcelona from the Brazilian League this season.
A few decades ago, Santos was also a well-known world-class giant, and Barcelona might not be able to kidnap their star player from Santos.
but now.
Santos Club only hopes that Neymar can be sold at a good price - as for the idea of retaining Neymar, it is unthinkable.
Let Neymar lead Santos to the top of South America and make him a legend of the team?
Stop it.
Are these things worth 60 million euros?
Sixty million euros.
How could Santos Club resist the temptation of 60 million euros.
How much is the Copa Libertadores worth?
For Santos Club.
They can just make money in peace and contentment now.
After all, the best stars in the world are now in Europe, and even if they want to keep Neymar, they can't.
How can a player like Neymar stay in a "small place" like Brazil for a long time?
Able to attract the best players in the world to join.
This is UEFA's confidence in fighting FIFA.
Sometimes, FIFA also needs to look at UEFA's face to act.
There is no way, who can let people have enough chips on hand.
"Brat greets Ye Luo at the door!"
He Wei, the host of the national TV sports channel, said excitedly.
Being able to be personally greeted by the President of FIFA, does this mean that the Ballon d'Or award is stable?
He Wei's words gave fans a hint.
The camera quickly showed the three candidates who came to the scene.
Yelo, Messi, Ribery.
The three of them sat in the front row, not far apart, but had little communication with each other.
After all, apart from competing on the court, we have no communication in life, so we are not familiar with each other.
The camera rotates between the three players, all with smiles on their faces.
In fact, everyone knows that the probability of surprise in the selection results is actually low.
So there is nothing to worry about.
Soon, the award ceremony began.
After various other awards, it was finally the turn of the main event.
But when the female host on the stage said loudly: "The following is the presentation of the FIFA Joint Ballon d'Or Award!"
Everyone couldn't help but sit upright, and the people in the back row couldn't help but look towards the stands.
Blatter himself came to announce the results.
He held in his hand the results of the vote.
A smile appeared on his face.
He walked onto the stage, and on the podium, the Golden Ball for the Golden Globe Awards had already been held.
Blatter looked at the ball, then looked toward the court.
before the results are officially announced.
Always have to talk nonsense.
"Honestly, it's a torture for me to announce this result because it means that when a good player wins the Ballon d'Or, the other two players have to lose. It's a pity. Why? There can’t be three Ballon d’Ors.”
This cold joke ushered in a burst of laughter from the audience.
The effect is not good.
"Why do you think it's the kindergarten that gives out little red flowers?"
Ye Luo cursed.
Blatter saw that the effect of his joke was not good, so he stopped talking nonsense and said directly: "The winner of the FIFA Ballon d'Or Award in 2012 is"
Thump thump thump thump.
Bratt's pauses are paired with just the right music.
Sure enough, it created a bit of thrilling suspense.
This is a trick used at many award ceremonies.
Even rubbish awards like the Hundred Flowers Golden Rooster Award are often done this way, and they continue to be used even after they are worn out, which shows that this trick is still very effective.
really.
Everyone looked expectant, staring, ears pricked, and a tense atmosphere was created in the awards hall.
In front of the TV, many fans watching the live broadcast were already clenching their fists, waiting for Blatter to announce the result.
Many anxious fans directly addressed Blatter's female relatives in their hearts.
With everyone's eager anticipation.
Close-ups of the three candidates appeared on the television screen.
Ye Luo smiled.
Ribery grinned.
Messi rubbed his hands nervously.
Blatter didn't keep people waiting long.
He coughed.
said.
"It's Ye Luo!"
