Chapter 327 is full of cards!Leading the shortlist for the 2016 European Ballon d'Or World Footballer

Arsenal created the best start to the Premier League, and captain Martin performed exceptionally well, once again becoming the front page of major mainstream media.

The person involved, Martin, was a little depressed. There was no achievement reward for creating the start of the Premier League!

Bad review!

System wizard: "..."

After the competition in October, before November is about to come, the European Golden Boy Award founded by "Turin Sports News" announced the shortlist of 11 people.

This list is led by Portuguese genius Renato Sanches, who moved to Bayern this summer, Manchester United Rashford and Tottenham Alli.

At the same time, it is rare to make relevant explanations in order to avoid bombardment from fans who do not know why.

To sum up, with Martin as the best player in Europe in UEFA, his outstanding performance can fully compete for the European Golden Ball Award and World Footballer Award this year. Putting it in the European Golden Boy Award is tantamount to indiscriminate killing, and he can properly defend his title. It is equivalent to losing the suspense of competition.

Within two days, the list of 30 candidates for the European Golden Globe Award was announced.

Symbolizing the highest personal honor in European football and even world football!
Compared with previous list announcements, the European Ballon d'Or list announcement, which will no longer cooperate with FIFA for the FIFA Ballon d'Or Awards, is very special.

In the past, the player list was announced directly.

This year, in order of player name.

Five people were announced every two hours, and the announcement was completed in six times.

Obviously, "France Football" magazine has understood the true meaning of traffic attraction in the mobile Internet era.

Although everyone knows that the final winner will be decided between Martin and Ronaldo, the process will still attract a lot of attention.

Starting at [-] noon local time, the five-person list will be announced every two hours.

The first list is: Aguero, Aubameyang, Bale, Buffon, Ronaldo

Two hours later, the second list was announced on the official website of "France Football" magazine: De Bruyne, Dybala, Griezmann, Godin, Higuain
Then there is the third list: Ibrahimovic, Iniesta, Koscielny, Toni Kroos, Lewandowski

After two hours of waiting, the fourth list was announced: Lloris, Martin, Mahrez, Messi, Modric

I am particularly excited to see the Arsenal fans, Martin fans and Dragon Country fans here.

Although everyone knows that Martin will definitely be shortlisted for the 30-person European Golden Globe Award, it is only when he actually sees his name that he feels at ease.

The last two lists are: Thomas Muller, Neuer, Neymar, Pepe, Pogba/Patricio, Ramos, Suarez, Sanchez, Vardy
The British media are quite dissatisfied with this 30-person candidate list.

Arsenal was the champion of all competitions in the 2015-2016 season. Only Martin, Sanchez and Koscielny were shortlisted, while Real Madrid had as many as six finalists.

Only La Liga champion Barcelona has four people on the candidate list, and Bundesliga champion Bayern has three.

Moving to the league level, La Liga has 12 players, and the Premier League only has 9 players including Ibrahimovic and Pogba who joined this summer.

The high proportion occupied by La Liga has also become the focus of the British media's criticism of the 30-person shortlist of "France Football" magazine.

"The Times" commented on Instagram: It is really hard to imagine that this is a candidate list for the European Ballon d'Or given by the most authoritative selection organization in world football. Arsenal was the four-time champion in the 2015-2016 season and won the 2016 European Ballon d'Or. After six championships, there is a high probability of winning the seventh championship of the year by the end of the year. I really want to know... How is such a team worse than Real Madrid?

"442" front page news: I once thought that the selection of the European Ballon d'Or was the most authoritative, but I didn't expect that it would be the same as the FIFA Ballon d'Or that we cooperated with before. A team that dominated Europe was unable to win and had no results in the 2015-2016 season. Real Madrid, could it be that... the European Ballon d'Or awards players based on reputation?

"The Guardian" Twitter updated immediately: Perhaps the final selection of the European Golden Globe Awards will not be a big surprise, but this 30-person shortlist is indeed very disappointing, not only for me, but also for hundreds of millions of people. Football lovers, to put it more seriously, it is a blasphemy against football.

Other British media "Football London", "Manchester Evening News" and "Echo" all carried out fierce criticism.

Even the authoritative German media "Bild" and "Kicker" made a few comments.

To sum up, this shortlist lacks the convincing power of football.

The top management of "France Football" magazine is very depressed, but the list has been given, and it is definitely impossible to remake it.

Thinking that the player who will eventually win the Ballon d'Or is nothing more than a few players, I simply ignore the criticism from the outside world. The Champions League match day is next week, and the media will definitely divert their attention.

……

But criticism is criticism, and reporting still needs to be done.

The titles of the European Ballon d'Or shortlist published by "France Football" published by major media are almost the same. Almost all of them have "Cristiano Ronaldo, Martin and Messi lead the 2016 European Ballon d'Or shortlist" as the front page title. This is just based on the media. Which player's name comes first according to his hobby.

There is no surprise on the front page of the domestic media in Dragon Kingdom, which is dominated by [Martin leads the 2016 European Ballon d'Or waiting list].

Full of cards.

Mainstream European media are criticizing the candidate list of "France Football" magazine. The domestic media in China are not joining in the fun. They are all looking forward to the day when "France Football" announces the European Ballon d'Or.

If Martin can eventually defeat Ronaldo and be elected, he will surpass the record of the youngest European Ballon d'Or winner set by 'Alien' Ronaldo in 1997!
For such an honor, Martin fans are very confident.

The jury of the European Ballon d'Or is voted by 96 professional football journalists from around the world. It is extremely professional and is the most authoritative individual honor recognized in world football.

The UEFA European Player of the Year jury is made up of 53 sports journalists from UEFA's 53 countries and regions, and is very professional.

The evaluation mechanisms of the two are comparable.

Professional and authoritative enough.

Martin's ability to win the UEFA European Player of the Year basically means that he can win the European Ballon d'Or with the same level of professionalism, creating an unforgettable record.

The person involved, Martin, only paid a little attention to what the outside media and fans said, and didn't pay too much attention to it.

Even the final three candidates for the European Golden Globe Award have not been announced. It is still a bit early to look forward to the final European Golden Globe Award.

Therefore, his focus is on the next game.

The fourth round of the Champions League group stage in midweek.

Visiting Copenhagen, Denmark.

As time goes by, the focus of major media shifts to the Champions League.

The tournament has reached the fourth round. Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Arsenal, which have won three consecutive victories in the group, are all likely to qualify from the group two rounds ahead of schedule after the fourth round.

Take Arsenal, the seed team in Group G, as an example.

The group started with three consecutive wins and topped the list with 9 points.

Copenhagen and Porto both have 4 points, but Copenhagen ranks second with a 2-goal difference advantage, and Bruges is at the bottom after losing all three games.

Judging from the matches between Copenhagen VS Arsenal and Porto VS Bruges in the fourth round, Arsenal, which has won three consecutive games, can qualify two rounds in advance as long as they win as a guest.

If Porto loses points at home while winning, they can even secure first place in the group two rounds in advance.

It's a pity that this did not happen.

Arsenal were a guest and won the game 2:0 with Martin assisting Cavani and Sanchez respectively. Porto defeated Bruges 1:0 at home.

The Dragon Country fans who stayed up late to watch the game were very excited. Except for Martin, who contributed two assists, he shined in the audience.

Another Dragon Country player, Wei Shaohao, shined at Porto's home stadium, the Dragon Stadium.

In the 65th minute of the game, he suddenly cut in from the edge of the left penalty area and shot into the far corner to score, which was the final word, helping Porto take all three points and jump to second place in the group.

Third-ranked Copenhagen only accumulated four points, and Arsenal, which had won four consecutive victories, was able to qualify from Group G early.

As long as they win the home game against Club Brugge in the fifth round, they can lock in the first place in the group in advance.

Of course, as long as Porto loses points in the fifth round of the group stage, Arsenal can lock in the top spot in the group regardless of the result of the home game.

There are two rounds left in the group stage. Copenhagen, with 4 points, still has a chance to qualify, and Porto is also at risk of being eliminated.

Bruges, who have lost four games in a row, are at the bottom with 0 points and are eliminated from the Champions League early, but they still have a chance to compete for a place in the Europa League knockout rounds.

All four rounds of the Champions League group stage have ended. In addition to Arsenal, there are many teams that have qualified early.

Group A benefited from the rivalry between Basel and Ludogorets. Paris Saint-Germain and Leicester City, who both had 10 points, qualified early.

The situation in Group D is almost the same as that in Group A. The difference is that Atletico Madrid became the second team after Arsenal to win four games in a row to advance from the group stage.

Seeded team Bayern also qualified early due to the positive impact of only one point from Rostov and PSV in the same group.

Dortmund in Group F is the last team to qualify two rounds early.

※※※※※

Arsenal, who won the Champions League group stage, returned to Colney training base non-stop the next day to conduct regular recovery training in preparation for the weekend's North London derby.

It's November, and the weather in London has turned cooler, with the average temperature ranging from 11 to 5 degrees Celsius. Many players have changed into long-sleeved training shirts when participating in training.

Although the temperature has dropped, the players' enthusiasm for training remains high.

Under the leadership of captain Martin, the entire team maintained a very strong fighting spirit.

Head coach Arsene Wenger sees that all players are in good condition and is confident in the upcoming North London derby and the visit to Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United.

The league started with ten consecutive victories, and the unbeaten season reached 47 games. Whether it can surpass the 49 unbeaten games created that year will be particularly important when facing Tottenham and Manchester United in the league.

After these two tough battles, the league opponents before the Club World Cup are Bournemouth, West Ham United and Stoke City.

Creating a new Premier League unbeaten record across seasons has become simple.The North London Derby is one of the most watched derbies in world football, and it is also about whether Arsenal can create a new unbeaten record in the league. As a mortal enemy, Tottenham will definitely try their best to disrupt it.

The overall condition of the players is excellent and the possibility of setting records is greatly increased.

The Champions League matchday is far away, and the focus of mainstream European media and world football media, mainly British media, has gradually come to North London.

……

Two days before the start of the North London Derby, that is, at noon local time on Friday, a piece of news announced by FIFA's official website attracted the attention of the world.

[2016 candidates for World Footballer of the Year 23]

Without the fancy operations of "France Football" magazine, FIFA directly announced all the players.

The headlines of the major reprinting media are similar, and they basically use "Martin, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi lead the 23-person FIFA World Player of the Year candidate list" as a template to write front-page news.

Aguero, Bale, Buffon, Ronaldo, De Bruyne, Griezmann, Ibrahimovic, Iniesta, Kante, Koscielny, Kroos, Lewandov Ski, Martin, Mahrez, Messi, Modric, Neuer, Neymar, Pogba, Ramos, Sanchez, Suarez, Vardy.

The proportion in La Liga is still very high, but it is not as outrageous as the European Ballon d'Or, with only 9 people shortlisted. If you count Ibrahimovic, who joined Manchester United from French Ligue 9 Paris Saint-Germain, there are also [-] people shortlisted in the Premier League.

But by this time, the German, French, and Italian media had opinions, especially the French media.

If Ibrahimovic is considered a Premier League player, then not a single player on this list is from Ligue [-]…

Due to the special mechanism of the World Footballer Jury, some media are a little pessimistic about the favorite Martin.

the reason is simple.

The European Ballon d'Or awards jury are all professional football journalists. In addition to professional journalists, the FIFA World Player of the Year also includes national team captains and head coaches of member countries, and they also account for an important 2/3 of the votes.

You must know that many national team members outside the top [-] are amateurs, and playing football is just a side job. It is difficult to expect these players who only play official games on international match days to have time to regularly follow professional games in Europe.

In the past ten years, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have been the most photographed football players, so many national team coaches and captains fill in based on their impressions or casually...

But... there are also many media who are optimistic.

Now is the era of mobile Internet. Martin has become the spokesperson for many top brands in the past two years. His exposure is extremely high and he is not inferior to Melo at all.

His global popularity has soared, and he may not be able to compete with Ronaldo and Messi.

In addition, there are 1/3 professional journalists and FIFA's top [-] professional coaches and players.

What these media feel a little regretful is that Martin will turn 20 in a few days, and the FIFA annual awards ceremony is usually scheduled at the beginning of the next year.

Ronaldo, the youngest World Footballer, was only 19 years old at the time. Even if Martin could beat Ronaldo and Messi to be elected World Footballer, he would not be able to surpass Ronaldo and become the youngest World Footballer.

Martin also noticed the news and felt a little regretful.

But his attention was soon drawn to the North London derby that was about to begin.

A must win game!

In order to ensure sufficient ratings, the Premier League's schedule is always at the finale of the round.

Nine games into the 2016th round of the 2017-11 Premier League season, all teams were disbanded on the spot. Players with national team assignments reported to the specified location to prepare for the national team competition on the last international match day of this year.

Players who do not have national team competition obligations will be given a short vacation, and they will then go on vacation according to the team's arrangements.

In the British arena, only the last hot North London derby remains.

Arsenal VS Tottenham.

These two teams are also the only teams that have remained unbeaten since the beginning of this Premier League season.

The difference is that Arsenal won all the games in the beginning, while Tottenham had 5 wins and 5 draws.

Premier League standings.

Arsenal, who have one game in hand, tops the list with 30 points, while Chelsea is ranked second with 5 points behind.

Manchester City, which has won six consecutive games since the beginning of the season, is currently in poor condition and ranks third with 24 points.

Liverpool, which has been in very good form recently, ranks fourth with 23 points, and Tottenham ranks fifth with 4 points.

The North London Derby does not require any media to lead the way. Celebrities and fans of the two teams have long used social media to provoke each other and engage in necessary war of words before the game.

The two teams are the only undefeated teams in the Premier League this season. Tottenham's defense is the strongest in Europe, conceding only 5 goals in the first ten rounds, one less than Arsenal.

But Arsenal's offensive ability is extremely strong, scoring 10 goals in 31 rounds, making it the most powerful team in the five major European leagues.

On the other hand, Tottenham only scored a pitiful 14 goals, which is the team with the fewest goals among the Big6 teams. It is even one less goal than Martin scored in the Premier League this season.

The offensive ability ranks 10th in the entire Premier League.

Before the game, Arsenal fans said this on social platforms.

Martin's goal = Tottenham +1.

The head coaches and players of both sides of the match were very restrained and did not post on social platforms. They mainly prepared for the match in a low-key manner.

……

Regarding the North London Derby, both Dragon Kingdom and South Korea are paying great attention to it.

From an individual player level, this is an East Asian derby.

It's just that it's a bit less interesting for many current Dragon Country fans. After all, Tottenham player Son Heung-min is completely different from Martin.

The players Martin is targeting are Messi and Ronaldo!
However, the South Korean media and fans have great expectations and luck for the talented player Son Heung-min. They hope that he can avenge his shame and help Tottenham overturn the leader at the Emirates Stadium through his personal efforts.

From the Bundesliga to the Premier League, Son Heung-min has never defeated Martin, not even a draw.

In the eyes of the vast majority of South Korea media and fans, it is a huge shame.

Son Heung-min is also under domestic pressure and is worried about the upcoming North London Derby, and even has a sense of fear.

Visiting team locker room.

Tottenham players are preparing to warm up before the start of the north London derby.

Captain Lloris keenly caught Son Heung-min's emotions and snorted: "A coward shouldn't play football."

"Yes."

Dale echoed.

England international Harry Kane, whose status in the hearts of Tottenham fans is getting higher and higher, frowned: "The next step is the North London Derby, one of the most important games of the entire season. Remember that our enemy is Arsenal."

Loris and Dier shrugged.

Son Heung-min cast a grateful look at Harry Kane: "Harry, I will definitely perform well."

"I believe you."

Harry Kane smiled and nodded.

……

"wuwuuwuwuuuuu——"

Tottenham players came out of the tunnel one after another, and the sky above the Emirates Stadium was filled with deafening boos.

The visiting team players have also been mentally prepared. They will receive the same treatment every time they come here, but there is not much emotional change.

When the Arsenal players entered the stadium from the tunnel, they were greeted by overwhelming cheers.

Tottenham players are all working hard to give the home team a head-on blow in the next game!
Set Arsenal’s unbeaten record at 47 games!
Shortly after the players from both sides entered the stadium to warm up, their respective starting lists also leaked from the Premier League's official website.

The home team Arsenal still uses the usual 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech
Defenders: Monreal, Van Dijk, Koscielny, Bellerin
Midfielder: Xhaka, Kante

Midfielder: Sanchez, Martin (C), Gnabry

Forward: Cavani
The visiting team also has a 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Lloris (C)

Defenders: Danny Rose, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Kyle Iko

Midfielder: Dier, Wanyama
Avantgarde: Eriksson, Alli, Son Heung-min
Forward: Harry Kane

……

The two teams have the strongest lineups currently, and fans waiting for the North London Derby are also more interested in the game.

To compete at a high level, you must first have a high-level lineup.

With the strongest lineup, the quality of the game is guaranteed.
