The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 325 Golden Ball List (Please subscribe at the end of the month!)

The end of the year is approaching, and the selection of the FIFA Ballon d'Or is getting closer.

On the evening of October 10th local time, FIFA officials and "France Football" magazine jointly announced the 29-person shortlist for the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or!

Bale, Balotelli, David Thornton and others gathered at Leo's home at this time.

Leo, the winner of the Golden Globe Award for two consecutive years, was naturally selected into this list without any suspense.

In addition to him, Balotelli, Neymar, Modric and Pirlo in Inter Milan are also on the list.

As the saying goes, whoever is missing will be embarrassed. Last year, Bell was selected for the Ballon d'Or for the first time with his blockbuster performance in the Champions League.

This year I won a lot of championships at Inter Milan, why was it not as good as the previous year?

Unlike David Thornton, who knew he had no hope, the Welshman was feeling a little bitter at the moment.

Inter Milan is the six-time champion, but only five players have been selected for the candidate list.

Then Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​which were nothing, actually had five people selected each.

"Why?"

"There is no fairness at all!"

“Who gets their attention?”

"Let's not talk about Cassie and Ronaldo. Can Ramos, Alonso, and Benzema really be selected if they are in other teams?"

"Isn't it the same for Barcelona? Messi's selection is not controversial, Xavi and Iniesta can barely make it, so why are Pique and Butzquez?

Why can't De Rossi and Bonucci in our team be good?

Barcelona only has one Copa del Rey, at least those in our team are six-time champions and European Cup champions..."

"There's no way around it, just because they are Real Madrid and Barcelona."

Leo did not participate in everyone's discussion, he silently observed their expressions.

Several people who were selected for the list were all filled with indignation. On the contrary, Bell, who should have been selected based on his performance last year but was not on the list, remained silent.

"What's wrong Gareth, are you not satisfied with the result?"

"Huh? Nothing."

Bell didn't seem to want to say more, which made Leo even more worried.

Among the twenty-three players in this list, La Liga has the largest number. In addition to Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​who have five players each, there are also Atletico Madrid’s Falcao, who have a total of eleven players.

They account for almost half of the entire candidate list in one league.

This is quite outrageous, especially since their results last year were not particularly outstanding.

It can only be said that although Spain’s economic situation is not good, the media is doing well.

He is really good at talking nonsense and bragging.

Although British paparazzi are always said to be powerful, they seem to be more powerful at following players' gossip.

There are so many well-known media in the UK. In addition to being the best at praising their own talents, they seem to be far inferior to the Spanish media in terms of publicity and momentum.

Next is Serie A with six players.

With the double blessing of six crowns and the European Cup, Inter Milan's three Italian internationals are well-deserved.

Neymar and Modric were also recognized for their outstanding performances this year.

I just don’t know why Gareth Bale was unexpectedly dropped.

In addition to the five Inter Milan players, Juventus goalkeeper Buffon was also selected for the Ballon d'Or again for his outstanding performance in the club and national team.

The Premier League, known as the first league, has only five players in total, three from Manchester City, Ibrahimovic, Aguero and Yaya Toure, and two from Manchester United, Rooney and Robin van Persie.

Ibrahimovic was the Serie A Golden Boot last season, and he also performed exceptionally in the Premier League this season.

Milan can't wait to get rid of the big burden of Ibrahimovic this summer. The Rossoneri, with its poor financial situation, can no longer afford the Swede's high salary.

However, Inter Milan in the hands of the Qatari consortium has no interest in him, and Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​which can afford Ibudur, have no interest in him.

AC Milan can only go to the Premier League to find buyers.

In the end, it was the local tycoon who took action, and Manchester City spent 20 million to recruit Da Feng to Mancini's subordinates first.

Ibrahimovic's career transfer fee reached 1.682 million euros, setting a new world record and breaking the original record of 1.34 million euros held by Anelka.

Raiola really makes a lot of money.

It is well known that Ibrahimovic and Guardiola have deep conflicts, but there is no need to worry.

By the time Guardiola went to Manchester City to coach, Ibrahimovic would have moved elsewhere hundreds of years earlier.

Then came the Bundesliga, which was really not possible. Only Neuer was selected among the 18 teams in the league.

Ligue 1 has none.

All twenty-three stars are playing in Europe, and none are outside the four major leagues.

As soon as this list came out, some people were happy and some were sad.

But no matter what, it cannot be changed, and those who are not satisfied can only choose to accept it.

When Messi attended the European Golden Boot Award Ceremony, when asked by reporters, he said that he had never paid too much attention to the ownership of the Golden Globe Award.

"My challenge is to win every title possible with Barcelona and Argentina.

I have never paid attention to whether I can win any personal honors in the past, nor will I now, nor will I in the future. "

"Tch, to put it nicely, it's not like I know that I have no chance and I can't compete with the boss."

David Thornton didn't mind seeing the excitement and deliberately mocked.

Leo shook his head slightly.

"That's hard to say. Even if I crush him in all directions, I still have to worry about whether the final grand prize will be stolen by him.

Not to mention that he has a goal advantage this time, so maybe the award will be awarded to him in the end. "

"Huh? It's not possible, right? We won six titles with the club and another European Cup with the national team.

Boss, you are the absolute core. The number of goals and assists is there. Even a blind person will not vote for you but vote for others, right?

Your team's honor has been crushed. How can Messi compete with you?

What does Messi have? Just for a King's Cup? Or should we just score more goals? "

"How come so many goals didn't help Barcelona win more championships? It's nothing."

"That is to say, this is the Golden Globe Award, not the Golden Boot Award. If it can be given to that dwarf, then why not vote for it? The award will be sent directly to Messi's home every year."

Leo stopped Ba Shen and didn't let him continue.

"It's passed, it's been passed, we have to recognize Messi's excellence.

But when the club's results are so disparate, it would be a bit shameless if FIFA really forced the Ballon d'Or to be awarded to him.

But haven't they done enough shameless things?

There were many in the past, and there will only be more in the future. Just wait and see! "

"Even if FIFA is causing trouble, the only people who vote are national team coaches and captains. The European Cup has just passed, so if they don't vote for you, the best player in the European Cup and the core midfielder of the championship team,

Do you vote for last year's America's Cup quarterfinals?

Not to mention the media vote, except for the idiot-like Spanish media, most of them will definitely vote for you. "

Leo shrugged disapprovingly. In fact, he had already won it twice, so he no longer had much desire for the Golden Globe Award.

if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.

However, if Leo is not convinced by the final candidate, he will still scold him when it is time to scold him.

“Stop talking about me, Mario, you have a chance too.

You are the European Cup Golden Boot, and you have scored a lot of goals for the club. Maybe you will win the award this year? "

However, Leo then thought, if Balotelli is really allowed to compete for the Golden Ball, Messi will be able to operate more easily.

"Hey, you said it would have been better if you had scored more penalties last year. The Champions League and Serie A were just a few short. If you had won the Golden Boot and won the Golden Globe, wouldn't your hopes be greater?"

After speaking, Leo didn't wait for Ba Shen to open his mouth, and looked at the other people present.

“Whether I win the Ballon d’Or this year or not, I think it’s enough.

It's up to you from now on, and I will try my best to help you, but it is not easy to compete with Messi and Ronaldo for the Ballon d'Or.

You also have to make an absolute effort yourself. "

However, everyone did not take Leo's words seriously, and no one really thought that Leo would not participate in the selection of the Golden Globe Awards in the future. They only thought that he was saying something for the occasion.

One month later, on November 11, FIFA will announce the final three candidates for the 30 FIFA Ballon d'Or in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The final awards ceremony is expected to be held at FIFA's headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, in early January next year.

Judging from the odds given by bookmakers, Leo, who has won two consecutive awards before, is still the favorite for the Golden Globe Award.

Messi and Ronaldo followed closely behind.

On October 10, in the tenth round of Serie A, Inter Milan faced Sampdoria at home.

Stimulated by yesterday's Golden Ball list, every member of the Nerazzurri seemed to have been beaten to death.

Coutinho and Chivu were injured in training, but they were not the main players of Inter Milan.

Therefore, their absence does not particularly affect Ancelotti's formation.

At the Meazza Stadium, the Nerazzurri still played in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Compared with the previous round of the league, the defending champion has made some minor adjustments.

Balotelli continues to advance forward as a single forward, with Bale and Neymar on the wings. Leo serves as the attacking midfielder, Modric returns to the starting lineup and De Rossi sits in the midfield.

Left back Kolarov, right back Srna, Thiago Silva and Ranocchia partnered as central defender and goalkeeper Handanovic.

Pirlo and Bonucci are resting today for three days to prepare for the derby against Juventus.

After the game started, Inter Milan, playing at home, quickly took control of the field.

Leo dribbled the ball in the middle, and the opponent's defensive player immediately pressed forward.

Taking a closer look at the person, hey, isn't this an old acquaintance, Andrea Poli? !

When he was in the youth team, Leo assisted Balotelli to score after passing Poli in the final to help the team seal the victory and win the championship.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye. The opponent is Poli again, and the teammate in front of him is still Balotelli. It seems that nothing has changed.

"Since you are here, let me see how much you have grown over the years!"

Leo didn't bully Polly either, he was just the same as he was five years ago!

The ball drew an arc and flew over the opponent's head, and Leo immediately accelerated and was about to pass by Polly!

At this time, Poli could no longer keep up. He could only pull Leo's jersey with his hands to forcefully stop Inter Milan's offensive.

Leo couldn't be stopped by Poli. He rushed to the penalty area regardless of Poli's small movements behind him.

Balotelli had already moved forward into the penalty area in time. Just when Leo was about to send a direct pass, the referee's whistle sounded.

Leo:? ? ?

What do you mean?

The referee Dovili punished Polila for a foul, and Inter Milan got a well-positioned free kick.

But the problem is that the home team may have taken a shot at any time. Are you calling the visiting team a foul at this time?

Even fake fans know that offense is beneficial, but you, a professional football referee, don’t know that?

Helpless, Leo turned his head and looked at Polly.

Your kid has really made no progress in the past few years. He just learned a small movement with his hands?

Nothing!

Leo stood in front of the free kick and glanced around. The wall was sparsely lined up. Sampdoria's goalkeeper didn't seem to be very good at directing defense.

Or Sampdoria goalkeeper Romero didn't focus on the wall at all, but always looked at Leo eagerly.

"Oh? Do you want to fight with me?"

It's really interesting that Sampdoria, which was only ranked sixth in Serie B last season, defeated Sassuolo in the play-offs and successfully entered Serie A.

Compared to the other two newly promoted teams, Sampdoria, whose record in Serie B last season was far inferior to theirs, returned to Serie A as if it were home.

Not only did they defeat AC Milan in an away game in the first round of the league, but they also want to achieve another great result in the same stadium today?

That is of course impossible.

Leo's gorgeous falling ball appeared again at San Siro. Romero was a little too confident. Although he reacted quickly and made a quick save, he still couldn't stop the ball from entering the net from the dead corner of the goal!

One to zero!

Inter Milan scored first!

Oh, it's not interesting, Leo shook his head.

Leo himself didn't think it was interesting, but the Nerazzurri fans in the audience had already excitedly stood up and applauded him.

The wonderful direct free kick score was replayed repeatedly in slow motion.

In the next period of time, the two sides exchanged offense and defense. Sampdoria, who was lagging behind, did not shrink back in defense.

Another accurate through pass from Leo after breaking through the middle. Neymar crossed the ball near the penalty area. Balotelli turned sideways with his right foot and volleyed with the instep of his right foot!

The ball was blocked by the Samp defender with his body.

The visiting team immediately launched a counterattack, Edel cut back from the left, and Tissone's right-footed long shot from outside the penalty area went into the arms of Handanovic.

Modric made a tackle in the backcourt and then passed to Gareth Bale.

The Welshman dribbled the ball along the wing, accelerated to eat two defensive players, and then cut inside to the top of the penalty area to hit the wall with Balotelli.

Bashen leaned against Sampdoria center back Gastaldello and knocked back. Bell tried a long shot with his left foot from outside the penalty area and went over the crossbar!

Inter Milan's ball possession rate gradually increased to 65%, and it was difficult for the visiting team to steal the ball away from their opponents.

In the 23rd minute, it was another wonderful pass from Leo, and Neymar broke through with the ball from the right!

After entering the penalty area, Neymar's fancy dribbling passed Gastaldello and Rossini's defense.

In the end, the Brazilian went all the way to the right side of the penalty area and hit the goal from a small angle near the baseline, but the opponent's goalkeeper Romero fell to the ground and confiscated it.

Munari fouled De Rossi with a flying tackle, giving the home team a free kick opportunity similar to Leo's previous goal.

This time Sampdoria was facing a formidable enemy, and Romero did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Although Leo's curve ball bypassed the wall, it was touched by Romero and flew out of the baseline.

Leo took a corner kick from the right and accurately found his teammate who was fighting for the top.

Thiago Silva overwhelmed Rossini with a header and then Modric followed up with a powerful low shot that was blocked by an unknown person.

There was chaos in the penalty area. After Leo got the ball, he poked the ball into the penalty area!

Neymar grabbed the spot in the crowd and scored!

Two to zero!

Bell stared blankly at his teammates celebrating the goal, so are they better than me?

They performed better than me and were stronger than me. Otherwise, why was I the only one not selected for the Ballon d'Or?

This question has been bothering Bell since yesterday. He can't figure it out or understand it.

"Hey Gareth, what are you thinking about?"

Leo noticed Bell who was silent and dazed beside him, and waved his hand in front of his eyes.

Probably able to guess Bell's thoughts, Leo said thoughtfully:

"You will pay attention to the opportunity to counterattack later, I will pass the ball to you!

Don't care what other people think of you, to me, you are the best! "

"Ok!"

Bell shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind. He had never doubted himself, and at the same time he was very grateful for Leo's help and trust.

Tissone's free kick from the left side of the front court was passed near the far post.

This kick originally had no threat, but Inter Milan's two central defenders, Ranocchia and Thiago Silva, overlapped in position when they grabbed the point!

Ranocchia's header failed to clear the ball. As a result, he accidentally stretched his foot and hit the ball in front of the goal when he landed!

Munari, who was unmarked, accepted the gift from his opponent and easily pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal with his right foot!

Two to one!

Sampdoria, playing away from home, actually got a goal back!

This was really inappropriate. Ranokia stood there with a frustrated look on her face.

Handanovich was also a little helpless and didn't know what to say.

Coach Ancelotti on the sidelines also frowned, obviously not very satisfied with Ranocchia's performance.

After Thiago Silva joined the team this season, the tacit pairing of Bonucci and Ranocchia was broken up.

Ranocchia, whose playing time has decreased compared to the previous season, is also in some ups and downs.

But it doesn't matter, Inter Milan is still ahead.

So Ranokia doesn't need to feel too much psychological pressure.

Near the end of the first half, Inter Milan launched a very threatening counterattack!

Leo made a pass near the center circle, and Gareth Bale broke through at high speed from the left into Sampdoria's penalty area!

After dunking the defensive player who was pressing forward, Bell sent a low pass with his left foot. Unfortunately, Neymar, who was outflanking from behind, was half a step too slow to touch the ball.

As captain, Leo not only has to perform on his own, but also plays a role in leading the team.

During the halftime break, he once again encouraged Bale and comforted Ranocchia, who made a mistake that led to the team conceding a goal.

At the beginning of the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Ranocchia steals the ball cleanly from the Sampdoria striker!

Leo threw an overhead long pass that flew half the stadium, and Bell made a smooth and high-speed dash to get the ball before the defender.

Breaking into the left side of the penalty area, Bell faced the opponent's goalkeeper alone.

Romero abandoned the goal and Bale decisively pushed the shot with his left foot to the far corner of the goal!

The Welshman's kick hit the goal at an extremely awkward angle, past the Sampdoria goalkeeper and hitting the inside of the right post and into the net!

Three to one!

Inter Milan seized the opportunity at the beginning of the second half to expand their lead!

After scoring the goal, Bell finally had a smile on his face. He ran to the sidelines and showed a heart.

The situation was unfavorable and Samp made continuous substitutions.

Maxi Lopez, Icardi and Renan came on as substitutes.

But Samp, who has strengthened his offense, is full of flaws in the eyes of Inter Milan.

In the 68th minute, Leo stole the ball in the backcourt and immediately passed it to Balotelli in front of him.

Bashen dribbled the ball from the middle and ran for tens of meters. He passed the ball diagonally to the right in front of the top of the penalty area. Neymar was outflanked in time and hit the lower left corner of the goal with a low shot with his right foot!

Four to one!

Neymar scored his second goal of the game!

The Nerazzurri sealed the victory!

Ancelotti waved his hand, and both Leo and Bale were substituted. They also had to save their strength for the Italian National Derby three days later.

The score was maintained until the end of the game.

In the end, Inter Milan defeated Sampdoria 4-1 at home and taught the opponent a good lesson.
