Chapter 700 Don't commit suicide and you won't die!
Su Dong won the Golden Ball Award for the fourth time!
This news spread all over the world overnight, and Su Dong's name became famous all over the world again.
In addition to paying attention to Su Dong's award, the media and fans were also paying attention to another piece of news, that is, Su Dong scored an unprecedented 478 points in the Ballon d'Or ballot, which set the highest score record in the history of the Ballon d'Or.
That is to say, among the ninety-six reporters who voted, only two reporters did not put Su Dong in the first place, but in the second place, which made Su Dong miss two points and failed to get a full score.
This is already the highest number of wins in the history of the Ballon d'Or, which has amazed countless media and fans.
No one will blame the two media reporters who did not list Su Dong as the first candidate, because it is meaningless. Everyone is more concerned about Su Dong's strength itself.
He completely eliminated the suspense of the Golden Globe Award early on.
There was not much suspense in the final voting ranking of the Ballon d'Or, with Suarez, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo ranking in the top three, which basically met the outside world's speculation.
After the list was narrowed down from fifty to thirty, only one player failed to receive a vote this year, and that is Benzema, the French striker who plays for Real Madrid.
All of Bayern's shortlisted players received votes. Except for Su Dong, the highest ranked was Ribery, who ranked eighth in the Ballon d'Or list, while Robben ranked thirteenth. The rest of the players were basically ranked further back.
…
As the news of Su Dong winning the Golden Ball for the fourth time spread around the world, the famous organization KPMG also released the latest player value ranking list. Su Dong topped the world with a sky-high price of 200 million euros, which is twice that of Messi, who ranked second.
In other words, Messi's estimated value is only 100 million euros.
Cristiano Ronaldo's estimated value is only 95 million euros.
Then Xavi with 65 million euros, Iniesta with 60 million euros, and Kaka also with 60 million euros.
This valuation ranking is basically the same as the Ballon d'Or score.
One of the important reasons why Su Dong received such a high valuation is his personal strength and influence.
KPMG believes that by becoming the first player in history to win the Ballon d'Or four times, Su Dong has created the history of the Ballon d'Or, and is also constantly creating his own history and creating his own era! The authoritative organization also revealed that Su Dong's contract with Bayern will expire in six months, which means that soon, Su Dong can contact any team to discuss joining in six months, and Bayern officials have not made too many comments on this.
"It is reported that after Hoeness joined the Supervisory Board, the competitive department headed by Nelinger still hopes to consolidate the existing achievements and does not want to continue the high-investment model of the past few years. After all, high investment and high output also mean high risks."
"Nerlinger prefers that the club's finances and performance are within a controllable and reasonable range. This is also the reason why Bayern has not negotiated a contract extension with Su Dong. They believe that Su Dong's high annual salary will be a huge burden on the club's finances."
KPMG believes that Bayern's change in business philosophy is not deliberately targeting Su Dong, but takes into account the team's overall strategy. For example, the rise of a younger generation of players such as Thomas Muller, Toni Kroos, Badstuber and Hummels has allowed Bayern to see the potential for further localization.
KPMG analyzed that Bayern's change of concept was probably caused by Su Dong, because Su Dong was not inclined to renew his contract with Bayern, which forced Bayern to adjust the club's business strategy, and thus allowed Neilinger to unexpectedly become the club's sports director instead of Kahn, who had been highly sought after by the outside world.
Kahn and Su Dong are teammates and have always had a good relationship.
In summary, KPMG speculates that Su Dong is likely to leave the team next summer, which is bound to cause an earthquake in the European transfer market. Many wealthy and powerful teams, including Real Madrid, Manchester United and Manchester City, are all flocking to Su Dong and are determined to get him.
"Once Su Dong enters the transfer market, it will trigger a bloody storm."
…
On the third day after France Football magazine announced the results of the Ballon d'Or, FIFA also announced the five finalists for the 2009 World Footballer of the Year on its official website.
They are Su Dong, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Xavi.
The top five are consistent with the list of winners of the Ballon d'Or, which makes everyone basically conclude that it is a foregone conclusion that Su Dong will win the double Footballer of the Year award again.
In addition to the top five lists, FIFA also announced that two new awards will be added this year.
One is the Team of the Year, which will be a list of eleven players, and the other is the Puskas Award for Goal of the Year, which is awarded to the most beautiful goal of the year.
It is obvious that FIFA is gradually enriching its annual awards ceremony, trying to turn the FIFA Awards into the Oscars of football, and attracting the attention of media and fans around the world through more and more prestigious awards.
With the endorsement of FIFA's powerful influence and huge investment and promotion over the years, the World Footballer of the Year may not be as valuable as the Ballon d'Or, but the FIFA Awards Ceremony has become the veritable number one evening party in world football.
Because, in the past two years, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony has been greatly reduced in size.
It is not difficult to see the clues from the live broadcast time.
Originally, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held during prime time, but now, it has been moved forward to noon. This year, it was adjusted to be broadcast live at 10:50 a.m., and the ratings have shrunk significantly compared to before.
It is obvious that on the one hand, France Football Magazine wants to maintain its independence and authority and has declined all brand cooperation and sponsorship. On the other hand, the commercial operation of the Ballon d'Or is very limited, making it difficult for the Ballon d'Or to maintain its past situation.
Nowadays, it is an era of globalization, and the Golden Globe Award is clearly no longer able to cope with the situation.
On the other hand, FIFA's World Footballer of the Year is constantly expanding its influence, especially the FIFA Awards Ceremony, which is becoming more and more popular year by year. As one grows, the other declines, and the influence of the two major awards is gradually changing.
The Ballon d'Or is also aware of this, so in response to rumors that the Ballon d'Or and the FIFA World Footballer of the Year will be merged, editor-in-chief Shawmier has previously made it clear that he is not opposed to it, but is seriously discussing and studying feasible plans.
Perhaps, in the near future, the Ballon d'Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year will be merged into one award, but we don't know when and what it will be called. Maybe, as the media said, it will be called the FIFA World Ballon d'Or.

On December 4th, in the 15th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern faced Borussia Mönchengladbach at home.
Due to the relationship between Bayern and its sports brand sponsors, this game was the first time in the world that the match ball of the South Africa World Cup was used, and the whole world celebrated.
Before this, Bayern had never trained with the new ball, resulting in the players being relatively unfamiliar with the ball during the game.
For example, in the fourth minute, Su Dong had a long shot from the front of the penalty area. Under normal circumstances, he would have been almost certain to succeed, at least he would have aimed at the blind corner, but it went directly high and the ball was obviously a little floating.
Afterwards, Su Dong took another free kick, but it was still high.
After two shots, Su Dong began to grasp the characteristics of the new ball.
In the 19th minute, after receiving the ball with his back to the goal, Su Dong turned around and shot with his right foot. A long shot from 20 meters away penetrated the goal of Borussia Mönchengladbach and scored the first goal for Bayern.
After scoring the goal, Su Dong ran all the way to the sidelines and celebrated the goal with Bayern fans.
And tonight, Bayern fans also made many huge Ballon d'Or advertisements and slogans in the stands to celebrate with Su Dong for his fourth Ballon d'Or.
This is not only an honor for Su Dong, but also a glory for Bayern and even the entire Bundesliga.
In the 29th minute, Olic made a cross pass from the left, Su Dong volleyed the ball without stopping and directly cushioned the ball to the back of the goal. Robben cut into the penalty area from the right rib, successfully made an offside, and calmly pushed the ball into the goal, making it 2-0.
After the second half, Bayern launched another wave of attacks, but it was not until the 73rd minute that Su Dong scored a wonderful free kick with his left foot, which gave the team another goal, 3-0! In the end, Bayern defeated Monchengladbach 3-0.
…
The day after the game, Su Dong immediately set off for Paris, France, to attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony on the morning of the 6th.
Although the live broadcast time was changed again and again and the award ceremony was shortened again and again, the program called "TV Football" still took great pains to fly to China and visit Su Dong's hometown to interview his relatives and friends, including the football coach who enlightened Su Dong.
The video camera also tracked all of Su Dong's activities in recent days, including games, training, an interview with French Football Magazine editor-in-chief Chomire at home, and a series of highlights and clips such as the photo shoot for the Golden Ball Award.
These contents are also made public for the first time.
When Su Dong received the Golden Ball from Schomier, he thanked many people, including his past teammates, coaches and teams, as well as his current teammates, coaches and team management of Bayern.
Su Dong expressed his pride and honor for winning the Ballon d'Or for the fourth time, which made history for the award.
"I'm very happy to be the first player to win the award four times. I hope to continue this form and strive to be here next year, the year after, and even every year after that."
When hearing Su Dong's speech, Xiao Mier's expression was obviously a little embarrassed.
He prepared painstakingly for two or three years in the hope of keeping the suspense of the Golden Globe Award longer, but in the end, Su Dong used his outstanding performance to reveal the final result early, making the award no suspense at all.
This made Xiao Mier feel very helpless.
Several times, he even planned to create an upset.
But in the end, he resisted the urge.
If you don't seek death, you won't die.
Xiao Mier endured for several years and finally got the position of editor-in-chief. He didn't want to die.
Personally, he and Su Dong have a good personal relationship; publicly, if Su Dong does not win the award, the loss of the Golden Globe Award will be even greater.
So, he is very conflicted now.
This is probably the first winner in the history of the Ballon d'Or who has caused the editor-in-chief of French Football magazine so much trouble.
