Chapter 595 Chapter 591: The shortlist for the World Cup Golden Globe Award is announced!
After the two semi-finals, it means that this World Cup has come to an end.

Every World Cup will select the best of the best, among which the best player is the "Golden Globe Award" that people pay the most attention to.

Before the final of the last World Cup, the winner of the Golden Globe was announced in advance-Zidane.

The media generally believes that giving this award to Zidane in advance is in recognition of his contribution to world football, but this approach has also been criticized by the Italian-based media.

Afterwards, it proved that FIFA's approach was indeed inappropriate. In the final, Zidane ended his World Cup tour and his football career with a red card.

The Italian media complained for Cannavaro and Pirlo. If the teams were asked to vote after the World Cup final, Zidane might not be the winner.

Under pressure, FIFA made changes in this World Cup, postponing the voting deadline until after the final, so the announcement of the list of candidates has also been postponed.

On the second day after the match between Germany and Spain, FIFA held a press conference and announced the shortlist for the World Cup Golden Globe Award and the three best rookie candidates.

There are a total of ten candidates for the Golden Globe Award. The Netherlands and Spain, which reached the final, became the biggest winners. They have a total of six players selected.

Three people from the Netherlands were selected: Sneijder, Robben and Chen Fan; three people from Spain were selected: Xavi, Iniesta and Villa.

The other four: Ozil, Forlan, Gyan, Messi.

Van Persie, Puyol, Casillas, Lahm and other stars failed to enter the list of candidates.

The three rookie candidates are: Ghana's Ayew, Mexico's Dos Santos, and Germany's Muller.

As soon as this list came out, it attracted the attention of the media. L’Equipe commented: “Overall, this list is fair. The two teams that entered the final each had three players selected, but Messi’s selection is surprising.

As a striker, Messi did not contribute a goal for the team, and his performance in the important quarter-finals was also difficult to be convincing. "

The Argentine media was very dissatisfied with L'Equipe's comments, and the Cape of Good Hope counterattacked: "Although he did not score, how many chances did he create for his teammates? His restraining role is irreplaceable!

As the world's footballer, Messi has been marked by the opponent in every game, but in this case, he still brings a very high visual enjoyment to fans all over the world.

What's wrong with Messi's selection? "

The war of words suddenly broke out, and the British media, unwilling to be lonely, also participated.

The Guardian said: "Also the winner of the World Footballer, in the 02 World Cup, Ronaldo scored eight goals and led Brazil to win the Hercules Cup, but Messi did nothing in South Africa.

Being marked by the opponent in the game is the 'treatment' that every super forward can enjoy. Chen also enjoyed this treatment in the game, but he scored ten goals in the five games he participated in, and staged two long-distance raids that shocked the world!
If Messi can be selected for the Ballon d'Or shortlist, then Kaka can also be selected. He is also a former World Footballer.In the same way, Ronaldo can also be selected! "

The Dutch media is very depressed, damn it, you don't predict who will win the Ballon d'Or, but make a lot of money for Messi to be shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or, is that interesting?

The Telegraph said: "We should put aside the controversy over Messi's shortlist and focus on who will win the Ballon d'Or, after all, this award is a recognition of the player."

When the Argentine media heard this, they fell silent.

The British Daily Mail said happily: "Anyway, the Ballon d'Or has nothing to do with Argentine players, Messi doesn't know where to hide and cry now!

Of course, FIFA can also award this award to Messi in a very strange way, in recognition of his "outstanding performance" in this World Cup!
The collective silence of the Argentine media only shows one problem. They don't want Dutch players to win this award at all, but this award is likely to be won by Dutch players!
Chen completed ten goals in five games, which is the biggest discovery of this World Cup, and he is the most hopeful to get this award.

Previously, the Argentine media had been full of hostility towards Chen Fan. The source of this hostility was that Chen had threatened Messi's status in today's world football!

Of course, there is a premise that this award cannot be just a consolation prize like the previous three. "

Who will win the World Cup Ballon d'Or?

The British Guardian is clearly on Chen Fan's side, "Ten goals in five games, such a record, if you can't win the Golden Globe Award, then the Golden Globe Award is a joke!
This World Cup can no longer award the Ballon d'Or to players from non-championship teams. Doing this again is an insult to this award! "

The Spanish World Sports Daily said happily: "Chen really deserves this award, Spanish players don't need this award!"

Only then did the Argentine media react, and they yelled: "This award should be awarded to Chen. His performance is indeed outstanding!"

……

After learning that the shortlist for the Golden Globe Award came out, Chen Fan complained for Van Persie on his social platform: "Robin scored five goals in the five games he participated in, which is the same number of goals as Villa.

Villa can enter the shortlist, why not Robin? "

Van Persie was very open about this. He smiled and said to Chen Fan: "Chen, even if I am selected, it will be very difficult to win the award. I really hope that Spanish players can win this award."

"What I care about is whether we can win the final championship!"

After thinking for a while, Chen Fan nodded and said, "Ronaldo won the World Cup in 98, but Brazil only won the runner-up. In 02, Kahn won the award, and Germany was also the runner-up. Zidane won the award in 06, and the French team was also the runner-up..."

Van Persie said: "Yes, this award is a consolation to the runner-up..."

The two looked at each other and smiled. They forgot that not every Golden Globe winner was a member of the championship team since the World Cup Golden Globe was established in Italy in [-].

In [-], Italy won the championship at home, and Rossi won the Ballon d'Or with his six goals.

Argentina won the World Cup in Mexico in [-], and Maradona won the Ballon d'Or.

In [-], Brazil won the World Cup in the United States, and Romario won the Golden Globe.

……

After the semi-finals, the Netherlands and Germany both traveled to Johannesburg, where the final will be held at the city's Soccer City Stadium.

Uruguay and Germany travel to Elizabeth City, where the third- and fourth-place matches are held at the city's Mandela Bay Stadium.

But no one thought that the Netherlands encountered a strange thing in Johannesburg. Afterwards, the Dutch Football Association was severely criticized by the Dutch media.
