Chapter 270 The World Footballer Ranking Controversy

Li Qing returned to his seat, and host Elba returned to the center of the stage, focusing all his attention on himself.

Mane gave Li Qing a high thumbs up: "Li, I believe you can win the World Footballer of the Year next year!"

"I believe too."

Head coach Klopp patted Li Qing on the shoulder and said firmly.

Since Henderson was seated far away, he just made an encouraging gesture and did not speak.

Surprisingly, Chelsea star Eden Hazard, who was sitting in the back row, patted Li Qing's right shoulder and gave a thumbs up: "Li, I'm optimistic about you too!"

The 2017 FIFA Awards Ceremony continued. The second award was for the Best Men's Football Coach of the Year. Klopp, who was sitting next to Li Qing, immediately sat up straight and concentrated.

In fact, Klopp does not have any particularly big advantages, even if he led Liverpool to win the first league championship since the establishment of the Premier League.

Zidane led Real Madrid to win the league championship and the Champions League last season. Juventus, coached by Allegri, had the same domestic championship as Liverpool, but had one more Champions League runner-up.

No matter from which perspective, Klopp has no chance of being elected.

In the end, Zidane was undoubtedly elected as the coach of the year.

"Hey~"

Klopp sighed, and Li Qing covered his mouth and said: "Uncle Jurgen, don't be discouraged. Believe me, you will definitely be the best coach of the year at this time next year."

"I think so too." Klopp nodded firmly.

The guest in charge of presenting the award was Ranieri, who led Leicester City to win the first league championship in team history. He handed the trophy symbolizing the best men's football coach of the year to Zidane.

The third award is the newly added Goalkeeper of the Year this year. The 39-year-old veteran Buffon was elected over Neuer and Navas.

Then a warm scene on the football field that was about more than just football was played live, leading to the fourth award of the award ceremony - Best Fan of the Year.

This grand prize was finally won by Celtic fans in the Scottish Premiership.

The process went very quickly. Wegmann, who led the Dutch women's football team to win the European Cup, won the Women's Football Coach of the Year, followed closely by the Fair Play Award. This award is awarded to the first time to save the opponent's players on the field. Forward Francis Cone.

At this time, the 2017 FIFA Awards Ceremony can be said to have come to an end.

The FIFA Team of the Year is the seventh award presented at the awards ceremony. The official lineup is 433, with goalkeeper Buffon, defenders Marcelo, Ramos, Bonucci and Alves, midfielder Modric, Toni Kroos and Iniesta, forwards Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.

Obviously, this annual best team is full of controversy, especially from the Premier League players who were invited, and there was an uproar.

The English media and the Chinese media were filled with indignation, not to mention the inherent small controversies in other positions. After all, there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand Hamlets, but it is a bit unreasonable that Li Qing was not selected, so the close-up shot of the live director was the first. For a moment, it was given to Li Qing who was holding the Puskas Award.

The fans sitting in front of the TV clearly saw a clear frown on Li Qing's immature face. He scored 31 goals and 9 assists in 15 Premier League games last season, contributed 10 goals and 2 assists in 5 FA Cup games, and won the World Youth Championship. 15 goals and 5 assists in five games. In the 2017-2018 Premier League season, he contributed 22 goals and 5 assists in 9 rounds. In the Champions League, he contributed 6 goals and 3 assists in 3 games.

It is undisputed that Ronaldo and Messi occupy the two best forward positions, because Ronaldo is the top scorer in the Champions League and Messi is the top scorer in La Liga. The question is, how good can Neymar be?

He only scored 13 goals throughout the season, and with 11 assists, he contributed a total of 24 goals, which is far from Li Qing's 40 goals in the middle of the season. In addition, Li Qing helped Liverpool win the first league championship since the establishment of the Premier League. , and Neymar only won one Copa del Rey with Barcelona last season.

No matter in terms of team contribution or team glory, there is no way to compare with Li Qing. It is precisely under such circumstances that his election has puzzled the media around the world.

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei sarcastically said: "How is this the best lineup in the world? It's obviously the best lineup in La Liga!"

Eleven starting positions, excluding Neymar who moved to Paris Saint-Germain, there are seven players playing in La Liga, to be precise, playing for Real Madrid and Barcelona.

How can such a lineup of the best in the world be convincing?

The English media are not convinced, and the German media are also not convinced. In their view, Lewandowski, who plays for Bayern, is fully capable of competing for the best forward position in the world.

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray shook his head and said: "The FIFA Team of the Year is as controversial as ever, but this year it is even more controversial."

The close-up shots given by the on-site director did not last long and soon switched to other players present. Li Qing, who was very unhappy, felt super depressed. He immediately took out his mobile phone and blasted FIFA's best team of the year on INS and Twitter. .

There was an uproar at the 2017 FIFA Awards Ceremony. Elba, who was the guest host, showed his skills. His talk show immediately diverted everyone's attention to the eighth award, which was also the penultimate event of the award ceremony. Award, Female Footballer of the Year.

To put it in the most down-to-earth way, it is Miss World Football.

Forward Martens, who led the Dutch women's football team to win the European Cup, deserves this award.

With the FIFA World Player of the Year being chosen, the awards ceremony also came to the finale.

FIFA World Player of the Year!

After Elba’s words, accompanied by exciting background music and a video, the big screen showed the final three candidates: Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar.

There was no surprise in the FIFA World Player of the Year. Cristiano Ronaldo, who led Real Madrid to become the first team to defend the Champions League since the reform of the Champions League, became the new FIFA World Player of the Year.

It’s just that the ranking of the second and third places is very puzzling. Messi and Neymar, who have neither the Champions League nor the league championship titles, were elected respectively. Li Qing, who was considered by the English media to have the potential to hit the third place, was directly ranked twelfth, even behind Harry Kane.

Li Qing helped Liverpool win the first Premier League championship since the establishment of the Premier League in the first half of 2017, and also won an FA Cup and a World Youth Championship. He was the best newcomer and best player in the Premier League in the 2016-2017 season.

Both personal and team honors beat Messi and Neymar!

Maybe Li Qing can't be compared with Messi, but Neymar can still kill him easily, so those fans who support Li Qing think that FIFA is getting more and more black.

So many group honors and star-studded personal data can't beat Neymar, what does it mean?

Even a fool can think of it.

The ranking of the World Footballer of the Year is destined to be controversial!

The Italian and German media are obviously very angry. Juventus Dybala, Bayern Lewandowski, which one is not better than Neymar?

Li Qing, the person involved, became calm after a short period of anger, and even deleted the INS and Twitter that he sent out, because in his opinion, the World Footballer of the Year selection is a joke, and there is no use in bombarding FIFA.

According to FIFA's character, they will continue to do their own thing.

Compared with the professional selection team of the European Golden Ball Award, the World Footballer of the Year selection has a big bug. The selection vote is decided by four parties, each accounting for 25%, namely the captains of various countries or regions, the head coach, the media representatives and the public participating in the vote.

Apart from the media representatives, the other three lack authority or are prone to inside information, which often leads to scandals such as errors in voting statistics for national team captains and head coaches.
