Chapter 630 Golden Ball New Record
In the early morning of December 2, France Football announced the winner of the 2008 Ballon d'Or on the cover of its latest issue of the magazine and on its official website.
Consistent with the outside world's speculation, Su Dong, who plays for Bayern Munich, was once again elected European Footballer of the Year.
This is the third time that Su Dong has won the Ballon d'Or! France Football also announced on its official website that Su Dong has become the second unanimous Ballon d'Or winner in history, and also set the highest scoring record in history.
Su Dong's name was written on the ballots of all ninety-six judges.
This is the second time that a player has been unanimously elected as the winner of the Ballon d'Or since the legendary French striker Papin in 1991.
Not only that, among the ninety-six judges, ninety-two judges ranked Su Dong first, and the remaining four all ranked Su Dong second, so Su Dong's total score will set a record high of 476 points.
French football critics believe that Su Dong's third election was the popular choice and there was no suspense.
Last season, Su Dong helped Bayern win the Bundesliga, Champions League and German Cup championships, achieving the first treble in Bundesliga history and making history. Su Dong also won the Bundesliga and European Golden Boots.
French Football believes that Sudong is another Golden Ball winner after twelve years in the Bundesliga and the fourth Golden Ball winner in Bayern's history. He has successfully written his name in the history of Bayern and the Bundesliga.
As per tradition, Denis Chomire, editor-in-chief of France Football magazine, wrote a special report on the Ballon d'Or in the latest issue of France Football magazine.
In the report, Xiao Mier praised Su Dong highly. He said that he had known Su Dong for many years and had interviewed him many times. Su Dong left a particularly deep impression on him and was also very friendly. He saw in Su Dong the perfect example of a professional football player.
"His performance off the court is just as perfect as his performance on the court!"
Chomiel summarized the Golden Ball Awards in the past few years. Many winners or players with potential to win the award have fallen for various reasons. Some have even disappeared from the list of 30 candidates, which made Chomiel feel sad and regretful.
He believes that a Ballon d'Or winner must not only possess extraordinary skills, but also have amazing perseverance and sufficient self-discipline, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain a high level of performance for a long time.
And Su Dong has done very well in these aspects.
Although Chomiel did not mention it, everyone knew that what he was sighing about were Ronaldinho and Adriano. These two superstars were once highly expected by countless people and believed to be able to compete for the European Golden Ball Award, but now, both of them are no longer on the list of 30 candidates, which is regrettable.
But more importantly, their downfall was not due to injuries or other force majeure, but from their lack of self-discipline.
Chomiel also mentioned the reform of the Golden Globe Awards.
His first decision after taking office as editor-in-chief of France Football magazine was to reduce the list of candidates for the Ballon d'Or from 50 to 30. He believed that this would make the selection process of the Ballon d'Or more exciting because there would be fewer players with zero votes.
But even if it is reduced to 30 people, there are still five players with zero votes, so he believes that there is room for further streamlining.
In addition to the list, Shomier also mentioned the reform of the Golden Globe Awards process.
In the past, the Ballon d'Or awards ceremony would always be leaked in advance by the media because France Football magazine would first take photos and interview the winners for them to appear in the latest issue of France Football magazine, but Chomiel said that this process would be completely changed in the future.
This year is an attempt, and starting from next year, the filming and interviews will be cancelled and the announcement will be made directly in magazines and official websites in order to keep the suspense until the last moment.
At the end of the article, Shawmier once again sent his congratulations to Su Dong, and hoped that he could continue to shine in European football with the halo of the Golden Ball and continue to achieve more and higher honors.
…
This article by Shawmier caused quite a stir in European football.
Every year when the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year lists are released, they trigger a wave of hype in the media.
First, there’s a wave of news about the new winner, then there’s a wave of nostalgia, then there’s a wave of sighing over the outdated superstar whose ranking has obviously dropped, and finally there’s a wave of gossip about the winner. If the advantage is not obvious, there’s even a wave of controversy.
After going through the entire process, you won’t have to worry about having no materials or sales for at least a week.
Because Su Dong received too many votes, although the list was reduced from 50 to 30 people, there were still five people who received zero votes, including Bayern Munich's central defender Pepe.
The top three are Su Dong, Ronaldo and Messi, and this is not controversial.
Spain has the largest number of players on the top 30 list, with seven, making it the largest team in European football today. However, the German team, which also reached the final of the European Cup, only had one player, Ballack, on the list, and he only received four votes.
Only four players from the Champions League champion Bayern Munich were shortlisted, namely Sudon, Ribery, Robben and Pepe. Among them, Pepe also had the bonus of his national team performance. Ribery and Robben were ranked relatively low, and the French scarface only got seven votes.
The fastest rising was Russia's Tsar Arshavin. Thanks to his stunning performance in the European Cup, Arshavin received 64 votes and ranked sixth on the list, even higher than Kaka, Villa and Ibrahimovic.
The Golden Globe Awards have just been announced, and media around the world are paying attention.
Once the list is released, some are happy while others are sad.

…………
On the evening of December 5th, in the 16th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern hosted Hoffenheim at home.
This is also a focus battle in the Bundesliga.
The competition between Su Dong and Ibisevic for the title of top scorer has completely entered a white-hot stage.
At present, Su Dong has scored 21 goals in the Bundesliga, and Super Ibi has also scored 18 goals. There is only a difference of three goals between the two. If he is not careful, Su Dong's Bundesliga Golden Boot may fall to Ibrahimovic.
Not only that, this is also a decisive battle between the top and second place in the Bundesliga.
Bayern Munich maintained an impressive record of 16 consecutive wins in the first half of the season. Everyone is expecting Bayern to win the second half championship with a perfect record, which will create Bundesliga history.
Hoffenheim is what countless people are looking forward to and is the last hope to attack Bayern.
If even Hoffenheim loses to Bayern, who else in the Bundesliga can stop Bayern?
…
At the beginning of the game, Hoffenheim showed an aggressive momentum and launched a fierce attack on Bayern.
A newly promoted team actually tried to suppress Bayern in the Allianz Arena? Who would believe it if it didn't really happen?
Bayern played very patiently and did not compete with Hoffenheim for a short period of time. Instead, they patiently dealt with the opponent and used their solid defense to make the opponent's attack futile.
It was not until the twelfth minute that Lahm made a long pass from the right, Modric volleyed the ball in front of the penalty area and directly cushioned the ball in front of the goal. Su Dong, who had chased to the front of the goal, turned around and volleyed the ball, using an extremely stretched side kick to directly score the ball into Hoffenheim's goal.
One to zero!
Just two minutes later, Su Dong retreated to receive the pass from the midfield, turned around to get rid of the defender, dribbled the ball forward, and took the initiative to find Klose for a wall pass. Klose passed the ball into the penalty area. Su Dong quickly inserted and shot the ball in the first time, sending the ball into the bottom of Hoffenheim's goal again, two to zero!
After scoring two goals in a row, Bayern was unstoppable.
Hoffenheim also showed quite tenaciously. Even when falling behind by two goals, the team still adopted a high-pressure tactic against Bayern and showed no fear at all.
It is not difficult to see that after the outstanding performance in the first half, Hoffenheim is full of confidence and it is no longer possible to define this team as a newly promoted team.
More importantly, this team has players like Ibisevic, Gustavo, Beck and others, who have already made a name for themselves in the Bundesliga, which shows that this team is not bad.
Of course, Hoffenheim's foul tactics are indeed annoying.
…
Hoffenheim led 2-0 in the first half, but at the beginning of the second half, Hoffenheim continued to launch a wave of attacks on Bayern.
Ibisevic seized the gap in Bayern's defense and volleyed the ball to help Hoffenheim score a goal.
This is also his 19th Bundesliga goal this season.
At the beginning of the season, Super Ibi was not Hoffenheim's main center forward, but due to the injury of his competitor, he was able to take the position. Unexpectedly, he became unstoppable, scoring goals like a flood and completely made a name for himself.
After scoring a goal, Hoffenheim continued to attack and frequently created threats.
In the 60th minute, Robben seized the ball after Hoffenheim's passing error, broke through from the right to the top of the penalty area, and shot with his left foot to score, expanding the score for Bayern again.
Eight minutes later, Hoffenheim committed a foul, and Lahm quickly took a free kick and made a long pass into the penalty area.
Su Dong understood the hint and ran into the open space. With no one guarding him, he headed the ball into the goal, making it 4-1!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"hat trick!!!"
"Another hat trick by Su Dong, Bayern is temporarily leading Hoffenheim 4-1!"
"Sudon was quite active tonight. Although Ibisevic also performed well, Ibisevic was still a lot dimmer under Sudon's brilliance."
"Su Dong celebrated becoming the European Footballer of the Year in 2008 with a hat trick!"
When the game reached the 88th minute, Neuer kicked the ball directly to the front court.
Su Dong headed the ball to Klose, who stopped the ball and passed it behind him.
After getting the ball, Su Dong drove straight forward, attracting the attention of all defensive players, and then passed the ball back to the penalty spot.
Klose was slow and arrived late at this time, but he just met Su Dong's pass and pushed the ball, and the ball went straight into the bottom right corner of the net, five to one!
The entire Allianz Arena couldn't help but cheer! Countless fans were shouting Su Dong's name, and some even held up a large replica of the European Golden Ball with Su Dong's image on it.
They all knew that after this game, Su Dong would go to Paris without stopping to receive the Golden Ball Award.
It's a hot day, and the two air conditioners at home are leaking water from the air outlets. I'm crying...
