Football: The strongest post-zero generation

On 3 December 2018, the Grand Palais in Paris gathered to announce the winners of the European Ballon d'Or.

The Ballon d'Or began in 1956 as an award issued by the magazine "French football", and before 1994 only players of European nationality were eligible to be judged, in 1995 it was adjusted to players who played for UEFA clubs, and in 2007 it was adjusted to be selected to players from all over the world.

Different from the World Footballer of the Year selected by FIFA, the judges invited by the Ballon d'Or are all well-known professional football journalists, and on the surface, compared with the FIFA judges, they are all captains and coaches from various national teams, making the Ballon d'Or more golden.

Because from the audience's point of view, having a professional football reporter as a judge makes the whole selection process seem more neutral, not to mention that the inheritance of the Ballon d'Or is longer than that of the World Footballer.

Previously, on Basavet's Weibo, a message appeared that Messi, the star of their team, accounted for 40 percent of the 400,000 votes, surpassing the 39 percent of the second place Li Qing.

In the latest message, Messi's data has been as high as 47%, so who can win this year's Ballon d'Or has attracted attention from all parties.

As the organizer of the Ballon d'Or selection, "French Football" officially updated the number of votes of each player who entered the Ballon d'Or nomination from a few hours to a few hours, from low to high.

The update of the Golden Globe rankings, after reaching 11th place, immediately turned on the suspense mode, and after an opening dance, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony officially began.

The award ceremony tonight is really the center, Raul, Carlos and other stars are all present, and Ronaldo and Messi, like the last World Footballer of the Year award ceremony, continue to be absent from the award ceremony tonight.

The absence of Ronaldo and Messi was claimed to be absent for personal reasons, but a discerning person can see at a glance that the truth will not be so simple, especially when Barcelona has made a big splash for Messi before.

French legend Girano is the host of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony tonight, and the results of the Kopa Awards will be announced first.

In March last year, the first French player to win the Ballon d'Or, Raymond Copa, passed away, and in order to forever remember the great French football star, France Football magazine established the 'Copa Award' for this year's Ballon d'Or.

The Kopa Award is awarded to the best player under the age of 21 in Europe, and France Football is a pioneering initiative that allows the world to appreciate their good intentions.

And this year's Kopa Award judges are a jury composed of 33 winners who have won the Ballon d'Or before, although Ronaldo and Messi were not present, but their votes are handed over to their teammates who are present tonight.

Off the field, Li Qing and his national team teammates whispered together, tonight's Golden Ball Awards, Li Qing is next to Kane, an English player.

Since 2001, when Owen, who was still playing in Golly, beat Raul and Ernne and many other stars to win the Ballon d'Or, no player in England has been able to dye the ball.

And the Lan players who have won the Golden Ball before, even if they count the players who play in England, there are not many who have won the European Golden Ball Award, and this has to count gods like the ancient Bobby Charlton.

Kane and Li Qing are the only fig leaf that supports England, the birthplace of football, and now they are the only fig leaf, although many of the candidates who are on the field tonight are from the Premier League.

"Li, do you think there is a drama today?" Kane was bored and sat looking around, he attended the ceremony tonight, completely accompanying the prince to study, because everyone knew that Kane could not win the award, and Li Qing was the favorite to win the championship.

"Just look at who the next two awards will be. Li Qing smiled playfully, and Kane was puzzled for a while.

Kane knows that tonight's Golden Globe Awards, in addition to the newly established Kopa Awards, also have the Women's Golden Globe Awards, but what does this have to do with the final Ballon d'Or winner tonight?

Just thinking about it, the host on the stage has announced that Mbappe won the first Kopa Award, and the Parisian star held up the Kopa trophy, waved to the audience, and then came to an impromptu performance with the live DJ.

Mbappe's father and younger brother, as well as the head coach of the French nation, Didier Deschamps, were present at the ceremony and spoke to the host after the French star won the award, and Deschamps spoke on stage about his expectations for Mbappe's future.

"Lee, why are they all looking at you when they are being interviewed?" Kane looked puzzled.

Mbappe looked at Li Qing after winning the award, he can understand, after all, Li Qing is also one of the candidates for this award, Mbappe looks at Li Qing after winning the award, which is a kind of show-off, but what is Deschamps?

Li Qing smiled and said nothing, the coach of the French national team and the star of the house, it seems that he has a lot of grievances against himself, he just won a Kopa Award, and those who don't know think you won the Golden Ball!

Then the award ceremony entered the moment when the mystery of the Ballon d'Or was revealed, and just before the top 10 of the Ballon d'Or rankings were updated, a VCR was played on the spot, reviewing the highlights of the ten stars in the year.

Li Qing, Ronaldo, Messi, Kane, De Bruyne, Modric, Varane, Salah, Mbappe, and Hazard have appeared on the screen.

In the end, the mystery began to be revealed, and in the final list of ten people, the tenth place was the English star Harry Kane who sat next to Li Qing, the ninth was the Belgian star De Bruyne, and the eighth place was also the Belgian Hazard.

"Alas......" Kane was slightly stunned, since he chose to come, of course, he still had a trace of unrealistic expectations in his heart, but he was not too disappointed with this ranking.

In addition to the national team results, Kane's Tottenham team is really a little unbeatable, the league is as unstable as ever, and this year's Champions League will not be known until the last round, so this ranking is already taking care of him.

After a short break, the Ballon d'Or continued to announce the seventh to fifth candidates, with Croatian midfielder Luka Modric in seventh and Li Qing's teammate Egyptian star Salah in sixth.

When the name of the fifth star was announced, there were disbelieving exclamations in most of the stadium.

Leo Messi, the Argentine superstar actually only finished fifth, and almost everyone in the audience except Li Qing looked at each other, unable to believe this result.

At this time, the winner of the 2018 Women's Ballon d'Or was announced, and Adach Globeli, a female player from Norway who played for Lyon, became the first winner of the Women's Ballon d'Or.

Immediately afterwards, the awards ceremony was pushed to a climax, and a VCR began to be played on the scene. Everyone knows that the characters in the next picture are the candidates who finally won the Golden Globe Award tonight. _
