I'm Kaka Kaka

Chapter 365 Closing
This year's Ballon d'Or and World Player of the Year are destined to be a civil war among the Brazilians, and the candidates will definitely not be able to escape Adelaide, Ronaldinho and Kaka.

Adriano won the Serie A championship and the Confederations Cup, and is the top scorer in the Confederations Cup;
Ronaldinho won La Liga and the Confederations Cup, and played beautifully;

Kaka won the Champions League and the Confederations Cup, and is the European Golden Boot winner, the best player in the Champions League final, the top scorer in Serie A, the best player in the Confederations Cup, and played beautifully.

No matter how you analyze it, Kaka is the one who should win the award the most. Because of this, Kaka's public relations are a bit behind. When Ronaldinho's publicity began to overwhelm the sky, he suddenly felt threatened.

Both of them are the spokespersons of Pepsi and Nike. No matter who wins or loses, it is a good thing for Pepsi and Nike. From the perspective of the company, it is definitely better to cultivate a new Mr. Ballon d’Or than Kaka’s second award. After all, in terms of advertising effect, Kaka’s defending title only strengthens the depth, and only Ronaldinho’s coronation can increase the breadth.

As for Adelaide, no matter what aspect he is worse, although Inter Milan spared no effort to hype him, Mourinho and Inter Milan players are also mad at the judges, but compared with the united Spanish media and English media, the Italian media is not monolithic.

Many Italians voted for Kaka. After all, he was from Milan last season and won the Champions League in Milan.

Maldini, Pirlo, Gattuso, Ibrahimovic and other former teammates all expressed their support for Kaka. Even Nedved said in an interview that Kaka is the most suitable candidate for the Ballon d'Or.

As for Pele, Ronaldo, Carlos, and Rivaldo, the Brazilians are of course not helping each other. Only Cafu, Dida, Lucio, Falcao, and Maicon clearly stated that Kaka is the most powerful one.

Moreover, "French Football" has also learned badly. According to the usual practice, although they will not announce the results until the last day, they will notify the winning players in advance before that, take promotional photos before the ceremony, make Golden Globe specials, etc., but this year is uncharacteristically, there is no movement at all, and they insist on leaving the answer until the last minute.

In the last few days, the public opinion confrontation has reached the craziest moment. The three camps of La Liga, Inter Milan, Premier League + Serie A have fallen into a melee. Never before has the Ballon d'Or selection caused such a big turmoil.

As long as all the stars with some weight start to stand in line one after another, the role of popularity will be reflected at this time.

Needless to say, their teammates and coaches went into battle one after another shirtless, and their friends also expressed their support. The luxurious list made the fans eye-opening.

At this time, the "Sun" came out to make trouble again.

According to the theory of "The Sun", whether a person is popular or not can be known by the number of his scandals. The "Sun" tried to compare the popularity of the two off-site from this aspect.

As a result, Kaka only had the sentence "almost never had close contact with any actress", while Ronaldinho was able to occupy three pages by himself.

"Brazilian media broke the news: Ronaldinho snatched Ronaldo's woman (picture)": According to the Brazilian media, Ronaldinho is now secretly dating the Catalan supermodel Maria Canalda, and Maria is Ronaldo's ex-girlfriend...

"The photos of Ronaldinho's girlfriend are exposed for the first time, the Latin dancer is not inferior to Milani": In the past few days, the news that Ronaldinho has a six-month-old son has exploded in Barcelona and Brazil. Although the Barcelona club has kept silent, the two local sports media in Barcelona have obtained "surprising news"...

"Photo of Ronaldinho's girlfriend and biological child exposed (picture)": This photo was taken on July 7 this year. At that time, Jia Lena (a woman with black hair and wearing denim) was wandering on the street with a middle-aged woman. The child in the middle-aged woman's hands was Joao...

"Uncovering the Mystery of Ronaldinho's Lover": Brazilian stars are famous for their romantic nature. The original one is Garrincha, and the closest one is Ronaldo, and Ronaldinho is not inferior in this respect...

"Australian Blonde Girl Breaks Again: Ronaldinho and I Performed a Hat-trick": Garbled code, experience it yourself...

Under such a crazy momentum, everyone would feel that Ronaldinho and Kaka should be almost even if they are not evenly matched.

But as soon as the results were announced, everyone's glasses were immediately frightened.

Kaka, 273 points;
Ronaldinho, 132 points;
Adriano, 110 points.

Henry ranked fourth with 71 points, entering the top four for the sixth time in his career but missed the Golden Globe trophy.

On the podium, accompanied by Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon and Chief Operating Officer Ron Gourley, Kaka took over the golden Ballon d'Or trophy from the editor-in-chief of "French Football" Erno, winning the title for the second time.

Both Michel Platini and Johan Cruyff have won the title for three consecutive years. Kaka, who won the Golden Ball twice in two years, can only compete with Kevin Keegan, Heinz Rummenigge and Marco Van Basten.

The Ballon d’Or has proved his professionalism with facts. No matter how much the outside world interferes, Kaka has defended the top personal honor of this player with an absolute advantage. His score is even higher than that of the second No.3 combined. According to the analysis of "The Times", if it is not because the three of them share too many votes for the Brazilians, Kaka's score will even reach an even more terrifying height.

At this point, the 2005 Ballon d'Or selection should have ended in an anticlimactic manner, but unlike the previous Golden Globes, this time "French Football" also selected the "European Golden Globes" based on the points converted from the votes of players in different positions of the Ballon d'Or.

For the goalkeeper position, only Buffon, Dida, and Coupe were among the 50 candidates. Coupe did not get votes, so Buffon, who scored 7 points, beat Dida, who had 4 points, and was selected as the main goalkeeper of this lineup.

There are not many candidates for the back line, but Chris, Thuram, Cannavaro and others all had zero votes. Maldini with 23 points, Nesta with 20 points, Carragher with 18 points and Terry with 3 points became the only candidates.

The midfield is naturally led by Kaka and Ronaldinho, followed by Gerrard ranked fifth and Pirlo ranked No.11. These are also considered to be the four strongest midfielders in football today.

The forward line is naturally Adriano, who is ranked third in the Golden Ball, and Thierry Henry, who is fourth.

The Golden Ball dust has settled, but the World Footballer of the Year 20 days later is the most intense battlefield. Compared with the extremely professional Golden Globe Awards, the World Footballer of the Year organized by FIFA is the stage for Ronaldinho and Adelaide. Therefore, this Brazilian civil war did not end with Kaka winning the Golden Globe Award, but intensified.

Barcelona continued to mobilize public opinion, trying to create a weak and let down image for Ronaldinho. Judging from the response from the outside world, this kind of marketing effect is quite good, and it will be up for debate who will win the World Footballer of the Year 20 days later.
