Chapter 298 The man who puts pressure on Messi
Qing saw the news announced on the official website of "France Football" in the lounge of the training base. He was a little surprised. He squeezed Arnold's thigh meat hard.
Arnold shouted in severe pain: "Li, what's wrong with you? Why are you pinching my thigh?"
"I can't believe that I have become the three players with the highest calls for the European Ballon d'Or!"
Arnold said angrily: "Why don't you pinch yourself?"
"I fear pain."
"..."
The speechless Arnold originally wanted to teach Li Qing a lesson, but when he thought of Li Qing's superb fighting skills, he suddenly gave up.
"Lee, Alexander, what are you doing?"
At this time, Firmino asked curiously.
"Lee became the three most vocal players for the European Ballon d'Or."
Arnold pointed at Li Qing and said.
His voice was not loud, but there were still many people in the lounge. He could hear it very clearly under relatively quiet conditions, and there was an uproar: "Wow——"
"What?"
No fewer than five people reacted like this.
“Are you that surprised that I’m No. 3 in the world?”
To be honest, Li Qing was a little dissatisfied with the reaction of his teammates. As a truly high-level player, why can't he be ranked third in the world?
If it weren't for being less well-known than Messi, he might even surpass Messi and become second!
Throughout 2017, regardless of team glory, who performed better than him?
Captain Henderson smiled and patted Li Qing on the shoulder: "We are not surprised, but happy for you. You are... the top three in the world on our team!"
"Hmph! This time next year, I want to be number one in the world!"
Li Qing held his head high and was full of momentum.
No one in the Liverpool team doubts it, because Li Qing's performance is so outstanding. As long as he maintains his current state and then shows a stable performance in next year's World Cup in Russia, he does not need to win the World Cup, even if he enters the top eight, he may win it. Won the European Ballon d'Or, the most valuable award in world football today!
"Come on! We all believe in you!"
Firmino raised his clenched fists towards Li Qing.
After that, he added: "Remember to teach me the key to finishing."
The World Cup in Russia is coming in half a year, and he is not the only choice for the center position.
Thanks to the top three European Ballon d'Or awards, Li Qing's training status in the afternoon was particularly good, best among the team. Head coach Klopp and his assistants are full of confidence in the upcoming Merseyside derby.
What I am a little worried about is that the hot game may cause Li Qing to be injured. As Liverpool's best player, Li Qing will definitely become the focus of Everton's defensive players. Then... there will be trouble...
But with Li Qing's flexibility and anticipation of danger, there should be no problem.
That night, the European Ballon d'Or Awards re-established by "France Football" were held at the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Although the winner of the European Ballon d'Or was not finally announced, the powerful European mainstream media already knew that the final selected player was Real Madrid No. 7 Christie. Arno Ronaldo.
Why?
Because only Emirates, the airline endorsed by Cristiano Ronaldo, has VIP information, and the destination...is Paris, France!
Other competitors Messi and Li Qing have no air travel information, which means that the only possibility of being elected is Ronaldo.
In addition, Ronaldo's team glory in 2017 was stronger than that of Messi and Li Qing, so his election became inevitable.
Li Qing received an invitation from the senior management of "France Football" magazine, but tomorrow is the Merseyside Derby, and he did not want to be distracted by this, so he apologized.
Of course, at the end of the day, you don’t have to be a Ballon d’Or winner, otherwise you have to be there anyway!
Cheap is a bit cheap, expensive because there is nothing you can do.
Didn’t Messi, the other person with the loudest voice, not go?
The guest of honor for the European Ballon d'Or is Ronaldo, the youngest winner of this honor. Yes, it is Ronaldo who dominates world football, known as Ronaldo!
Witnessed by Real Madrid boss Florentino, legendary star Raul, Portuguese coach Fernando Santos and Ronaldo's family, Ronaldo received the Golden Ball trophy that symbolizes the European Golden Ball Award, and this trophy is also his professional The fifth Ballon d'Or trophy of his career, tying Messi.
Li Qing was watching the live broadcast with his teammates at the hotel where he was staying. Looking at Cristiano Ronaldo who was delivering his acceptance speech, he clenched his fists and whispered to himself: "At this time next year, the focus of the world... will only be on me!"
…
It is an expected result that Cristiano Ronaldo becomes the winner of the European Ballon d'Or in 2017. The same is true for Messi's nomination. As one of the best players in world football today, he is also recognized as the player with the best skills. Together with Cristiano Ronaldo, he has become the winner. The two prides in football, starting in 2007, have been selected into the top three for the Ballon d'Or/World Footballer/FIFA Ballon d'Or for 11 years (starting in 2010 and ending in 2016).
Since 2011, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have taken turns taking charge. As of 2017, they have won five European Ballon d'Ors respectively!
Among the 11 consecutive years of being shortlisted for the top three, only in 2007 was the glorious Kaká winning the title.
Closer to home, Messi occupying a spot is no more surprising than Ronaldo being elected. What is surprising is that the final ranking of Li Qing, who is only 16 years old, was subsequently announced!
There are actually some discrepancies in the voice rankings, or the actual rankings announced at that time may be different, but the final rankings actually announced show that Li Qing is indeed ranked third!
Judging from the voting points of major authoritative reporters around the world, except for Ronaldo, Li Qing is not far behind Messi in points.
Cristiano Ronaldo has 946 points, Messi has 522 points and Li Qing has 513 points.
The voting mechanism for the European Ballon d'Or is very transparent. Each professional football reporter with voting rights around the world can cast five votes. The first vote is worth 5 points, the second vote is worth 4 points, the third vote is worth 3 points, and the fourth vote is worth 3 points. Scored 2 points, and the last vote scored 1 point, which means that Li Qing, who was nine points behind Messi, actually lost by a very slim score.
This is where the surprise comes from!
The English media and fans, as well as the Chinese media and fans, are very depressed about this. If two professional reporters reverse the order of voting during the voting process, Li Qing is very likely to reverse Messi and become the 2017 European Ballon d'Or. Two.
The media reports naturally attracted the attention of Messi. His performance is definitely not qualified for the European Ballon d'Or, but everyone is lucky. As a recognized world-class star, Messi does not think that his performance is worse than Cristiano Ronaldo, but that his glory is inferior to Cristiano Ronaldo. , just like the two FIFA Ballon d'Or awards in 2010 and 2013 that should have belonged to Sneijder and Ribery, the controversy is controversial, but... he deserves it!
He was just a little disappointed when he confirmed that the winner of the European Ballon d'Or was Cristiano Ronaldo. What made him frown was the specific ranking. The 16-year-old Li Qing was only 9 points less than him!
Such a gap is really wonderful!
If he is not careful, he will fall to third place.
He is only thirty years old and in great shape!
Therefore, Messi feels tremendous pressure from Li Qing. Cristiano Ronaldo has turned 32 this year, and it is very likely that he will not be able to do what he wants by then. Therefore, the battle for the European Golden Globe Award and World Footballer is between him and Li Qing.
As for Neymar, he believes that Neymar, who dare not face reality, can become his opponent.
