France Football is a highly influential media outlet that works with UEFA, the French Football Federation, major clubs and professional footballers' unions, journalists' unions and fans' unions.

With such a huge influence of the media, the organization is naturally very large.

The Ballon d'Or selection body of "French Football" is only a small department, but because of the influence of the Ballon d'Or in the world, the small selection body also has a huge influence.

For example, they have a number of celebrities, coaches, football legends and direct contact details for various national teams.

They can speak directly to UEFA and FIFA officials.

Among them, the most powerful editor-in-chief, Paca Ferredo, the head of the Ballon d'Or selection, can definitely be called the star editor-in-chief of football, and his social circle includes presidents of football associations at all levels, UEFA officials, as well as top stars, agents, and even influential witnesses and businessmen.

But......

The greater the influence, the greater the pressure.

The pressure of public opinion brought by the outside media and the Internet directly points to "French Football" itself, because the outside world does not know the composition of "French Football", and does not care whether it is composed or not, just like a company has a problem, the outside world can directly talk about the name of the company no matter what department has a problem, and the situation faced by "French Football" is the same, and various news media reports point to "French Football", and the report has an intensifying trend.

That's normal.

There is a good saying, "peers are enemies", the competition in the media industry is very fierce, "French football" is a very influential media, their main competitors are other countries, influential big media in the field of football evaluation.

For example, the UK's World Football.

Germany's "Kicker".

Spain's Le Monde Sport.

Italy's Torino Sport.

Wait a minute.

These media are not the most influential in their country, but their influence is reflected in the 'impartiality of the judgment', such as the 'World's Best Player' selected by the UK's "World Football", whose influence is second only to the 'Ballon d'Or' of "French Football".

Other competitors are similar, and they are all authoritative in the field of football judging.

These direct competitors will not miss the opportunity to attack the "impartiality" of "French football", "French football" is influential, the most important thing is impartiality, and the impartiality has two impressions on fans -

One is the value of the player, the value of the club and the financial aspects.

The other is the evaluation of the player's performance.

Among the latter, the 'Golden Globe' is representative, and other competitors have constantly issued reports questioning the fairness of the 'Golden Globe', citing the example of 'Zhen Shaolong's score is too little'.

Three points higher than C-Ronaldo?

Are you kidding?

Torino Sport cited Zhen's performances and awards, "Sixty league goals, overwhelming club performances, he also helped Newcastle United win the FA Cup, and in the Olympics in August, completely suppressed Messi's Argentina." ”

"This year, Zhen Shaolong also won the Premier League Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot with his excellent performance, and he is also the PFA (Professional Union) Premier League Young Player of the Year and FWA (Association of Journalists) Player of the Season."

"In addition, Zhen Shaolong is also the best player in the world by World Football, the best player in the world by FIFAPRO (World Professional Footballers' Federation), and he is also the best player and top scorer in the capital Olympics......

"Zhen Shaolong has won more than 20 awards of all sizes, which can be said to be countless, and as far as the selection rules of the Golden Ball Awards are concerned, the first consideration is the performance of the players in the club.

"In the selection rules of the Golden Globe Awards, it is not determined that the Olympic Games will not be considered, and Zhen Shaolong's performance in the Olympic Games is obviously stronger than C-Ronaldo's performance in the European Cup, leading dozens of youth teams ranked in the world to win the Olympic championship, but it is much more difficult than the top 16 teams in Europe to win the quarterfinals......"

"All of the above shows that Zhen Shaolong deserves to win the Golden Ball Award without suspense, but in the end, he is only three points higher than C-Ronaldo."

"If there is no problem with the selection process, we have to question the fairness of the selection rules......

The doubts of Torino Sport are good.

World Football simply questioned the problem of indiscriminate statistics and falsification of data by the selection body of France Football.

Of course.

That's not what they say directly.

However, the article published by "World Football" gives readers the feeling that "the selection agency of "French Football" may not count the final score, and directly make up a result......

And then.

The results of the previous Golden Globe Awards were also unfair?

With so many peers from the outside world questioning, "French Football" is facing great pressure.

"French football" naturally wanted to find a problem, and the huge pressure was transferred to the selection body, and immediately pressed on Paca Ferredo's head.

Paca Ferredo was directly stunned.

He couldn't imagine how the normal process could have become 'unfair Golden Globe Awards'.

Injustice?

Just, of course!

Even if there is an internal injustice, justice must be affirmed to the outside world, otherwise the fairness of the 'Golden Globe Award' will be questioned, and the influence of the award will be greatly weakened.

And then what to do?

Paca Ferredo still has great power and influence within "French Football", and several editors-in-chief and managers immediately formed a group to discuss the next countermeasures.

In the past few decades, the 'Ballon d'Or' has also been rejected once, and that is Italian star Gianluca Vialli.

The situation was different.

One is that Vialli's influence is not enough, he is a very good player, but not so good that Zhen Shaolong is overwhelming.

The second is the process of giving up.

Vialli was a critic of "French football" and voluntarily gave up the Ballon d'Or selection, and he was not nominated at all.

Zhen Shaolong is different!

Zhen Shaolong's Golden Globe Award selection process has ended, and he has already announced that he is the winner of the Golden Globe Award, so he announced that he will give up the Golden Globe Award.

That's hard!

He gave up...... We awarded the Ballon d'Or to second place C-Ronaldo? "Many people have thought of this approach, but this is not the solution to the problem, the first award has nothing to do with the 'Golden Globes', they need to calm the pressure of public opinion from the outside world.

Zhen Shaolong pointed out that the official announcement of "French Football" is suspected of regional discrimination, and the pressure of public opinion from the outside world has changed to a question of fairness.

Paca Ferredo didn't want to apologize.

But.

His opinion was ignored!

"You caused such a big thing, and you don't want to apologize publicly?" The personnel manager of France Football said directly, "Then you will leave the selection body, no, leave France Football." ”

Paca Ferredo suddenly withered.

And then there was no more.

"French Football" is the authoritative media in the field of football, and they are all used to being high, even the internal editor-in-chief and manager feel that they cannot bow to a player, otherwise the authority of "French Football" will be greatly affected, and their lofty posture will become bowed.

Submit?

Definitely not!

The group discussed for a long time and had no countermeasures, so they could only ask the press officer to come forward for public relations.

"Just wait a while!"

"Anyway, the Ballon d'Or is over, we directly ask the players to come over to receive the award, and this year's Ballon d'Or will be awarded to C-Ronaldo ......"

"Yes!"

"He gave up on his own initiative!"

After the panel discussion, Paca Ferredo was also responsible for calling C. Ronaldo and telling him the 'exciting' news, "Because Zhen Shaolong gave up the Golden Globe Award, you ...... as the second place"

"I refuse!"

C-Ronaldo refused without hesitation.

Any top player has a proud heart, and C-Ronaldo will not go to accept an 'award that no one else wants'.

Other than that.

There is so much media criticism from the outside world that a fool would agree to receive the Golden Globe.

Isn't this a curse?

C-Ronaldo put down the phone, and he had a feeling that his IQ was being questioned.

And then.

Paca Ferredo is even more stupid.

He couldn't help it.

The first place rejected the Golden Globe Award, the second place did not want the 'Golden Globe Award from heaven', the second place did not say that it rejected the Golden Globe Award, so it must not be passed over the second place and awarded the Golden Globe Award to the third place, right?

Messi?

No kidding.

Paca Ferredo felt that this matter could not be solved, and perhaps this year's trophy should be left in the selection body.

As a memorial?

Meantime.

FIFA's 'World Footballer of the Year' selection panel is so excited that they are all about to tap dance.

The reason is simple!

The Golden Globe Awards have been met with a lot of skepticism from the media.

FIFA's "World Footballer" selection is actually very depressing, because the influence of "World Footballer" has not been able to catch up with the "Golden Ball", especially since 1995, the Golden Ball Award has covered players who play in the European League, and last year it was changed to cover all the world.

Isn't this a business grab?

FIFA's 'World Footballer' is to cover the whole world, and after the Golden Ball Awards are expanded, the two awards can be said to be duplicated, and the authority of the 'World Footballer' has been further compressed.

The selection panel of the 'World Footballer of the Year' even suggested talking to France Football to merge the two awards into one, and then they would also have a more authoritative light.

Not anymore.

"French Football" was angered by Zhen Shaolong, who won the award, and Zhen Shaolong also received support from the media all over the world.

It's just great!

"Zhen Shaolong, well done!" Everyone in the 'World Footballer' selection team applauded Zhen Shaolong from the bottom of their hearts, and they couldn't help but announce the 'World Footballer' winner in advance.

That's right!

It's Zhen Shaolong!

The World Footballer of the Year selection team has already applied to their superiors to announce the World Footballer of the Year award in advance, as they were originally scheduled to announce it in early January, and there is still almost a month to go.

It's also to blame the Golden Globes.

In the past, the announcement time of the World Footballer was in December, but because the Ballon d'Or was also in December, the selection team decided to delay the time to January to stagger the results of the Ballon d'Or, mainly because the influence was not enough, and the competition for the Ballon d'Or could not be competitive.

Now that this is happening at the Golden Globes, the selection panel has decided to apply for an early announcement.

The sooner the better!

The opportunity to expand the influence of the World Footballer of the Year and surpass the Ballon d'Or of France Football in one fell swoop is just around the corner!

In the vigorous bombardment of public opinion from the outside world, Zhen Shaolong received the absolute support of his teammates.

One by one, teammates stood up and voiced their views.

"Zhen's approach is right!"

"It's better to have no awards that involve discrimination! The glory of professional footballers is earned by the game. ”

"A selection body is not qualified to give honors!"

"He spoke everyone's mind!"

“……”

The support of his teammates made Zhen Shaolong feel very good, and there were many other people in the outside world who supported him, and he was also full of gratitude, and he was determined to do his best to play a good game.

A day later.

Newcastle United ushered in a new league game as St James' Park took on Stoke City as they beat promoted Madrid 4-0.

Zhen Shaolong performed strongly.

Zhen Shaolong scored two goals in the first half, and at the beginning of the second half, he staged a good show of three people in a row, completing his third goal.

Hat-trick!

For other players, the hat-trick is worth mentioning, and for Zhen Shaolong, the media and fans seem to have gotten used to it, but being at the center of public opinion, such a performance is enough to attract worldwide coverage.

Various media have praised Zhen Shaolong's performance--

"This is the world's No. 1 striker!"

"Easy hat-trick!"

"Zhen Shaolong relied on luck to win the Golden Globe Award, which is simply the most ridiculous lie in the world!"

“……”

Soon.

Newcastle United welcomed the Carabao Cup again, facing Derby County in the quarter-finals.

There is still no suspense in the game.

Derby County's backfield can say 'no defense' to Zhen Shaolong, their backline players are level, they can't block Zhen Shaolong at all, he can rely on his personal strength to get past the defense, and it will naturally become easier to score goals.

In the first half, two goals.

In the second half, two goals.

Zhen Shaolong only played 70 minutes and scored four goals individually, and his performance throughout the game was absolutely dominant.

Nature.

There was another wave of praise from the outside world.

With Zhen Shaolong's extremely good performance, the pressure of public opinion faced by "French Football" seems to be becoming greater and greater, and the meaning of the outside media and fans is almost, ""French Football" should clarify that Zhen Shaolong did not win the award by luck, and solemnly apologized to Zhen Shaolong and the people he was with for issues such as 'regional discrimination' and 'improper use of words'. ”

"In addition, the Golden Globe voting should be re-conducted, and the entire process and selection voting should be completely transparent, so that everyone can see the final result."

Of course it can't be.

France Football didn't think about it internally.

Right away.

A blockbuster news overshadowed the public opinion of "French Football" --

FIFA announced the results of the 'World Footballer' selection in advance: Zhen Shaolong scored 1156 points, completely overshadowing the second place C-Ronaldo's 531 points, and won the 2008 FIFA 'World Footballer of the Year' award.
