The strongest winger

Chapter 414 The fierce competition for the European Golden Globe Award

Capello saw that Ailuo passed Salgado so violently again, so he knew that the defense was a bit dangerous this time, but when he saw Cannavaro running towards Ailuo aggressively, his heart beat faster and he felt a little calmer.

But only a second later, his calm heart beat and accelerated again, because... Cannavaro didn't tackle the ball, and more importantly, neither did anyone! !

In other words, only Roberto Carlos and the young Sergio Ramos are left in Real Madrid's defense.

Suddenly, Capello was cold from head to toe.

And the next process was as he expected, and this time it was even more difficult for him to accept.

After David Villa received Ai Luo's through ball, he did not dribble the ball straight to the goal, but moved the ball to his left front, leaving his original running position to Ai Luo.

When he passed the ball for the second time, Sergio Ramos was only half a body away from him. It is estimated that because he was the last defender, he did not take a foul action.

David Villa knew that his combination of man and ball was not as good as that of Ai Luo, so when Sergio Ramos was fully catching up, he flicked the ball to his front right with the outside instep of his right foot.

Sergio Ramos panicked as he turned to chase the ball and it was - Aiello!

At the same time, David Villa, Aiello, and David Silva are like three sharp knives, piercing the heart of Real Madrid.

Even Calderon, the new chairman of Real Madrid who was sitting in the VIP seat, exclaimed in a gaffe.

Aiello made a trip forward facing the football, and entered the 30-meter area of ​​Real Madrid's defense line, and then reached the penalty area line. Casillas looked at the three advancing together, gritted his teeth and rushed towards Ailuo.

Anyway, standing is dead, attacking is also dead, it is better to leave a heroic figure for the fans who support Real Madrid.

Seeing Casillas attacking, Ai Luo raised his right foot at the penalty area line. The latter subconsciously slowed down and concentrated, but Ai Luo just made a fake move. With a change in his right ankle, he changed his shot to a pass, and the football went to the left.

What David Villa, who is running well, has to do is very simple. With a light push on the arch of his left foot, the football rolls slowly towards the goal.

Sergio Ramos, who had stopped as early as Ai Luo kicked up his right foot, clenched his fists tightly, staring at the football still rolling in the goal, and his psychological dissatisfaction became stronger and stronger.

Two years ago, the two were still competing in the Spanish U19 Youth League. I was vaguely evenly matched with him. What I didn't expect was that two years later, Aiello had grown into the top shooter in La Liga, and he was still adapting to the rhythm of the giants.

Why is there such a big gap between people?

He didn't know, so he shook his head, put his hands on his waist, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Three veterans, Cannavaro, Salgado, and Roberto Carlos, also acted similarly to him. They collectively realized that they were old at this moment, and they were very old.

Perhaps, it is really time to consider finding a small team for retirement...

When this goal was scored, everyone knew that the game was basically over, and it would be difficult to score against Valencia who was in good condition.

It is worth mentioning that before the end of the first half, in order to block Ai Luo's quick counterattack, Cannavaro directly held him in place with a bear hug when he was already single-handed.

The referee on duty decisively showed a red card.

If there is still hope for two goals behind, then being sent off as a main central defender when two goals behind, then... means there is no chance at all!

In the second half, David Silva and Ballack scored a goal each after changing sides.

In the end, Valencia beat Real Madrid 4-0 at home, pushing their league opening victory to [-] games.

As a result, it has become the team with the most consecutive wins in the top European leagues.

But on the second day after the game, all the media did not focus on this already established record, but on the competition for the European Golden Globe Award among Aiello, Cannavaro, and Henry.

Before the winner of the European Ballon d'Or was selected, "French Football" had released the news that the final winner was selected from among the three of Aiello, Cannavaro and Henry, and Henry was just trying to gather the three final winners.

And all mainstream European media that participated in the voting also hinted at this possibility.

Therefore, the game between Valencia and Real Madrid has become a game that can be used as a direct reference.

As a player who has gone from La Liga to Europe and the world, it is natural for the Spanish media to stand up and build momentum for Aiello.

Although Cannavaro is also in La Liga, his main achievements are still in Juventus and the Italian national team, and he has nothing to do with Real Madrid.

So the Spanish media are all on Aiello's side.

"Tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon, the 2006 European Ballon d'Or will be announced on the official website of "French Football". Among them, Buffon of Juventus, Cannavaro of Real Madrid, Henry of Arsenal, and Ai of Valencia are the most likely to win this honor. However, in our minds, there is no doubt that there is only one winner of the European Ballon d'Or this year, and that is Ai who played for Valencia. He played miraculously in last season and this season! The scoring efficiency of one goal shocked every one of us! And what did Cannavaro contribute? It was just a Hercules Cup, and at the same time, it was not due to him alone, but to the whole of Italy..."

European Ballon d'Or candidates column from Marca.

"There is no doubt that the winner of the European Ballon d'Or this time must be Ai, because everyone can see very clearly what he has done in the past season. Spain's domestic double, the Champions League semi-finals, and his personal goals in a single season in La Liga and the Champions League.

"Aspen" has a column about the candidates for the European Ballon d'Or.

"In the summer of this year, Cannavaro participated in the World Cup held in Germany as the captain of the Italian national team and the core of the defense. His perfect performance in the defense was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the entire World Cup, Italy only conceded an own goal and a penalty. In addition, in the club, he also helped Juventus win the league championship before the World Cup. Ai's contribution is limited to personal honors. In terms of team contribution, it is not as good as Cannavaro. Besides... How can Spain's domestic double crown match the golden Hercules Cup? So, we There is every reason to support Cannavaro to win the European Ballon d'Or since its inception, the first full-time defender to receive this honor..."

Regarding the honor of national players, the "Torino Sport" is naturally on Cannavaro's side this time.

French newspapers such as "French Football" and "L'Equipe" did not join the campaign. They all know that the Golden Globe winner is basically out of touch with Henry, so they might as well look at the issue from a neutral position.

It is worth mentioning that the legendary French star Zidane, who retired after the end of this year's World Cup, also supported Aiello in an interview with "French National Television". "No surprise, this time the candidate is undoubtedly Ai. His performance last season made me feel excited and longing for it!"

Next, last year's European Ballon d'Or and World Player of the Year double winner Ronaldinho also began to support Aiello, "I have never seen a player who can perform as well as Ai. His performance is even more amazing than my peak performance. If the winner of the European Ballon d'Or this time is not him, it will definitely be a scandal!"

Although Cannavaro is Beckham's teammate in Real Madrid, he still chose to speak for Aiello at this time. Regardless of his relationship with Aiello, he should support Ailuo from a competitive point of view. "If I were to vote, I would definitely vote for Ailuo. Why? If you scored 44 league goals in a season and 16 goals in [-] Champions League games, I would vote for you too!"

Europe is buzzing about the European Ballon d'Or winner selected by "French Football", but how could there be less reaction in China at this time?
However, Chinese newspapers first reported that Aiello helped the team beat Real Madrid with four goals, creating the best start of a new top European league - twelve consecutive victories, and then talked about this year's European Ballon d'Or.

"As we all know, 11:27 pm on November 4th every year is the announcement time of the European Ballon d'Or. In the past season, Chinese player Aiello's performance in Valencia is obvious to all. He scored 30 goals in the league and 44 goals in the Champions League. Both of them broke the long-standing record. At the same time, he also helped the team win the long-awaited domestic double and reached the semi-finals in the Champions League. It can be said that his last season was perfect!
However, this year is the year of the World Cup, and the impact on the selection of the Ballon d'Or is obvious. From the fact that the World Cup champions and runners-up Italian and French players occupy half of the candidate list, it can be seen that "French Football" pays attention to this when screening the list of 50 candidates.Judging from the players elected in the last two World Cups, Zidane was in 1998 and Ronaldo in 2002. It can be said that it was the champion status of those two World Cups and the outstanding performance of the two in the World Cup that helped them be elected. This trend should not change in 2006.

However, the embarrassing thing is that this year, there is no player who is convincing in both the World Cup and the club. The performance of the club is an important indicator of the European Ballon d’Or every year. After the World Cup, Cannavaro who moved to Real Madrid, Henry who stayed at Arsenal and other players who have performed outstandingly in the World Cup have obviously declined in the new season. However, there is no Aiello here. His performance has been stable and amazing for a long time, so..."

At the same time, during this day, the official website of "French Football" has been paralyzed at least three times because too many Chinese left messages.
