Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

The ninth-ranked FIFA World Player of the Year is Paolo Maldini, Shevchenko's teammate, the soul of AC Milan, and the cornerstone of the Italian defense!

The eighth place goes to former Ballon d'Or winner, Real Madrid's homegrown leader, and the "Lord of the Rings" Raúl!

With Ronaldo's arrival, Raul's ranking on various leaderboards has seen a significant decline.

This is inevitable.

Zidane did not become a victim of Ronaldo's arrival because Raul made huge sacrifices.

Some say that Real Madrid has brought Raul to a peak he shouldn't have reached.

However, some also believe that Real Madrid's superstar strategy has affected Raul's historical status.

Both of these arguments have some merit.

The seventh place goes to David Beckham, England's star player who joined Real Madrid this summer.

In fact, Beckham's performance at Real Madrid is not very good at the moment, but his ranking is still so high, which is inseparable from his transfer in the summer.

This further illustrates that Real Madrid does indeed have a huge advantage in award selection.

Keep in mind that this is even before they have won the Champions League title.

The sixth place also belongs to Real Madrid superstar, Roberto Carlos, the world's best left-back from Brazil!

Five of the top ten FIFA World Player of the Year winners are from Real Madrid.

Regardless of their performance on the pitch, from the club's perspective, Real Madrid has won big.

Florentino's management style is simply amazing!

Fifth place goes to Juventus' new Zidane, the Iron Man Nedved!

If Juventus wins the Champions League, he might be able to finish in the top three.

But Kaka sniped Nedved.

Even so, ranking fifth in Mr. World is still an excellent achievement.

Even the tenth place is someone who stands at the very top of the pyramid in that field.

Cristiano Ronaldo: ? ? ?

Cristiano Ronaldo: What do you mean by "even"? Is tenth place really that bad?

Cristiano Ronaldo: When Kerr came in tenth place, you called the tenth place player "Little Sweetie". But when Ben Ronaldo came in tenth place, you called him "Tenth Place Old Lady"?

The fourth place winner of the FIFA World Player of the Year award goes to Thierry Henry, the Gunners legend who had a phenomenal double-double of 24 points and 25 rebounds last season!

His only shortcoming is his performance in European competitions.

Whenever Arsenal wins the Champions League, Henry will inevitably sweep all other awards and become the new world number one.

At present, Henry has a good chance because Arsenal is in good form.

Ronaldo, Duncan, Zidane!

Three top football stars competed for the FIFA World Player of the Year award.

Ultimately, Ronaldo was the first to fall, becoming the world's third-ranked player this year and lifting the bronze trophy.

Unfortunately, in the final competition...

Deng Kai came in second.

Zidane has become this year's FIFA World Player of the Year.

Many fans are speaking out for Deng Kai online.

I believe this year's FIFA World Player of the Year should be Deng Kai.

Last year's Globe Award winner, Deng Kai, came in second.

This year's FIFA World Player of the Year is second again.

What exactly are they up to?

So, neither my Kai's three Champions League titles nor his two titles plus his explosive individual stats in a single season can get him first place?

Do you really have to win the World Cup?

Zidane didn't win the World Cup this year either!

However, after the rankings were announced, the star players present began to congratulate Deng Kai.

Even Zidane, who won the award, said in his acceptance speech: "I was very surprised to receive this award. To be honest, I don't think I was the best player in football over the past year."

"This may be the only trophy I don't deserve in my career."

"But you can't say it's unfair. Maybe football is making up for the mistakes I made when I was young."

"Thank you to the fans, thank you to the judges, and thank you to rising stars like Deng Kai, Henry, and Ronaldo for giving us veterans of football a dignified exit."

Thank you to everyone who has always supported me.

"I hope that in the future, I can stand on such a stage again with my strength."

After Zidane finished speaking, he hugged Deng Kai again.

His meaning was quite clear.

This trophy belongs to Deng Kai.

The host was moved by the scene of passing on the torch and asked Deng Kai to say a few words.

Deng Kai did not refuse: "I have to refute Zidane on one point: he deserved this trophy."

"I know many people think I deserve to lift this trophy, but the fact that I wasn't the only choice shows that I'm not strong enough."

"I never blame others!"

"I've never been afraid of controversy or discussion; it's all part of my motivation to become better."

"Zidane deserves it. Just like Ronaldo last year, he deserves it too."

"There are so many hidden gems in world football, why should I always be lucky? I don't want to convey such a wrong idea to everyone."

"First place isn't everything. Every player who truly dedicates themselves to football deserves an award. Whether they're here or not, all the outstanding players deserve it!"

Splash!

Deng Kai's performance brought the awards ceremony to a perfect close.

In fact, this result did not surprise those in the know.

Why was this year's FIFA World Player of the Year award held earlier than planned?

The only explanation is that the FIFA World Player of the Year award was known to be highly controversial, so it had to be moved up.

Otherwise, they will be criticized by fans after the Ballon d'Or, which places greater emphasis on player performance, is awarded.

Rather than saying FIFA rescheduled the event, it's more accurate to say that FIFA was scared and backed down!

This is even more valuable than winning the FIFA World Player of the Year award!

So... from the moment FIFA announced that the event would be held earlier than scheduled, for many people, the rankings for this year's FIFA World Player of the Year and Ballon d'Or were already decided.

Deng Kai will definitely not be the FIFA World Player of the Year.

But the Golden Globe winner... must be Deng Kai!

The FIFA World Player of the Year award isn't exactly rigged. Even when Deng Kai gets older and loses his ability to be the world's best, he can still have two more years of competitiveness for the award because of the FIFA World Player of the Year evaluation system.

This is the current situation for Zidane and Ronaldo.

……

Zidane wins FIFA World Player of the Year again! Duncan and Ronaldo finish second and third respectively!

A new generation replaces the old! Cristiano Ronaldo rises to tenth place in the FIFA World Player of the Year rankings, while Figo fails to make the list!

Huge controversy! Over 52% of fans believe Deng Kai should be named FIFA World Player of the Year!

Zidane admits his performance in the past year was inferior to Duncan's; his award was due to his increased fame!

Deng Kai acknowledges Zidane's award; his positive remarks demonstrate his magnanimity and courage!

Confidence can't be faked! Deng Kai's attitude towards awards makes people believe that he will always be able to create new glories!

"In-depth investigation! The FIFA World Player of the Year award was moved up due to disagreements with the Ballon d'Or on major awards! And the Ballon d'Or clearly aligns better with public expectations!"

"A historic first! Deng Kai is the first player in world football to prompt FIFA to adjust the award ceremony time to avoid his presence!"

I like playing football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him.
