December 18, Madrid City Hall, Spain.
The annual World Footballer Award Ceremony was held grandly.
This time Ronaldo, who is famous on the list, is smarter.
He picked up his old mother from Madeira and no longer walked alone in dark alleys.
What's exciting is that Ronaldo's ranking this time is even higher than England's golden boy Owen.
The World Player of the Year award has not been as professional as the Ballon d'Or in recent years. In other words, they pay more attention to fame, so there is a delay in the highlights of the players.
Ranked 11th this year as World Footballer is Thierry Henry.
Not being in the top ten is something many Arsenal fans are dissatisfied with.
But considering the French team's exit from the group stage in this year's World Cup... right.
The tenth place is Beckham.
The ninth place is Ballack. The World Cup runner-up gave him a huge improvement.
The addition of World Cup results to player rankings is still unparalleled.
The eighth place is Raul.
The seventh place is Rivaldo.
The sixth place is Roberto Carlos.
Fifth place is Zidane.
The fourth place is...Deng Kai!
Before the Golden Globe Awards, Deng Kai's fans must have opinions on this ranking.
But now, they are all Buddhist.
Take it, take it while you can.
In a few years, it will all be my fault!
And what everyone is paying attention to is not where Deng Kai is ranked at all, but who is taking Deng Kai with him this time?
The answer is... Hathaway!
Once Keira, once Hathaway, the struggle between the two is quite fierce.
The Sun is awesome!
Matthäus, with the help of Deng Kai and the recent momentum created by the German media, successfully entered the top three.
Even beating Kahn to rank second!
After Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or, he once again won the World Footballer of the Year award.
At the same time, this is also the third time Ronaldo has won this award.
This year, Ronaldo's fame reached its peak!
He beat Deng Kai and Matthaus in the two major awards.
But sometimes, losing is winning.
"Matthaus regretted losing to Ronaldo in the last year of his career!" It’s disappointing to be the runner-up in the World Cup and to be the runner-up in the World Cup! 》
"Missing the World Footballer, Matthaus's career is not complete!" 》
"Baggio in 1994, Matthaus in 2002!" Regret makes a classic! Brazilians don’t understand how cruel the style is! 》
"German football champion Lothar Matthäus does not need honor to prove himself!" His greatness is already destined! 》
"The road is far away and the horse power is known!" Although Matthäus arrived late, he and Naradona shared the second-generation football champion crown! 》
"Let regret crown him!" The perfect among imperfections - Football King Lothar Matthäus! 》
"Real Madrid wins Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year for Ronaldo!" But it also ruined two good stories in world football! 》
"Deng Kai Golden Globe Award!" Matthaus World Footballer of the Year! This is how the year should have been spent! 》
"It's understandable that Ronaldo won double awards!" But if it were Deng Kai and Matthaus, fans, players, and history would recognize them more! 》
"Laughter makes you powerful!" Deng Kai, the second-placed Ballon d'Or winner, gave a touching hug to Matthaus, the second-placed World Footballer! 》
Some fans analyzed that if the team that Deng Kai and Matthaus won the Champions League triple crown was not Sporting Lisbon, but other European giants, then they would really be able to beat Ronaldo this year.
The platform is indeed too important.
As the World Footballer Award Ceremony comes to an end.
The summary of last year comes to an end.
The new year is about to begin.
And the curtain begins with Hathaway.
"The Sun": "It doesn't matter whether you accept the award or not, Annie is here to reward Team Kai! According to the store clerk, Hathaway took Deng Kai to visit the lingerie store for three hours and changed into hundreds of charming outfits to please him! In the end, she bought ten Eight sets!”
"Perhaps the implication is that on the day Deng Kai turns eighteen, Hathaway will put on these eighteen sets of underwear for him to enjoy the happiness of an adult?"
Exploded!
The media frantically forwarded the Sun's news.
Who is going to see if he wins or not?
I am the winner in life, okay?
The winning treatment is comparable to that of the second-generation polo king.
Emotionally it is smooth sailing, which makes others envious.
Delightful!
…
December 20th, EFL Cup quarter-finals.
Manchester City beat Crystal Palace 3-1 at home.
Crystal Palace also rotated, using half of the substitute players, quite willing to give up.
But starting from this day, Manchester City ushered in a devilish schedule.
In other words, the entire Premier League has entered the most terrifying Christmas schedule.
Most European leagues have a winter break.
But not only does the Premier League not have a winter break, it actually plays more exciting games.
This is the result of commercial development taken to the extreme.
But the price is the increase in injuries for Premier League teams in the second half.
Most teams have gone from one game a week to two games a week or even three games a week.
December 23, the 19th round of the Premier League.
Manchester City lost to Tottenham Hotspur 2-3 at home.
On December 26, in the 20th round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Aston Villa 3-1 at home.
On December 28, in the 21st round of the Premier League, Manchester City lost 0-1 away to Fulham.
On January 1, 2003, on the occasion of New Year's Day, Manchester City sent blessings to Chinese fans.
At the same time, we also ushered in the 22nd round of the Premier League, with a 2-2 away draw with Everton.
Maxa commented on the team's recent games after the game: "Our performance is normal. This is the Premier League, it is always so intense."
"It was within our plan to score a point in this game."
"It's good news to draw with Everton with rotation."
"We will focus more on the FA Cup match against Tottenham three days later."
The reporter was obviously not surprised by this: "You mean the third round of the FA Cup? Will you go all out?"
Maxa nodded: "Of course! The FA Cup is also one of our goals this season. We are not seeking to win the championship, but we must at least reach the semi-finals!"
"We need to be familiar with all the games in England. This will help us to attack various trophies after completing the reconstruction!"
"We are not just focusing on this year's team, we are not in a hurry. But we hope that in the next three to five years, the team can remain extremely competitive for various championships!"
Manchester City showed their ambition.
This has affected Tottenham's personnel arrangements for the FA Cup game to a certain extent.
January 4th, FA Cup third round.
Manchester City faces Tottenham at home.
In this game, Manchester City still started all out, showing the best form they have ever seen in the league.
Tottenham has a youth training team + substitutes, and according to tradition, it mainly trains newcomers.
Most Premier League teams will arrange it this way. Only when they enter the FA Cup quarter-finals or even the semi-finals will they go to the main team and go all out.
If everyone behaves like Manchester City, the league will definitely collapse in the final stage.
In the end, Manchester City defeated Tottenham 4-0!
He avenged his loss to Tottenham in the league and reached the semi-finals of the EFL Cup!
