In the past, December was the time for awards. Now, since FIFA merged the World Footballer and the Golden Ball Awards, the award ceremony has been changed to January. So now January has become one of the most important months in the world football world.

All 2012 awards will be awarded in January 2013.

Because there was no European match at Liverpool, only played in the Premier League, and there were no national team matches, Chen Yingxiong did not even enter the list of the last three candidates this time. Chen Yingxiong naturally did not receive any invitation from FIFA.

Since he had a quarrel with FIFA over the awards last year, Chen Yingxiong has no relationship with FIFA.

This year's Golden Globe Awards were finally given to Messi, which was a result without any suspense and novelty.

Although there was a European Cup last year, the German team won the championship. It is difficult for the German team to say that a number one star who can suppress other players will come out. Ozil is the core of the midfield, "Piggy" Schweinsteiger is the team's metronome, and Thomas Muller, captain Ram, goalkeeper Neuer... These people are important contributors to the team's championship, and it is difficult to say who is the best.

In this regard, they can't compete with Messi.

Messi's performance in the Champions League is really outstanding. The record of 18 goals in a single season makes many people feel that it is impossible to be broken.

In addition, Messi's fame is obviously more than Ozil and Schweinsteiger... Those German players are famous and have taken a great advantage in the voting of the national team coach and captain.

When Messi won the Golden Ball Award, the global media were discussing this matter. Everyone gave Messi all the praise they could think of, portraying Messi as a genius who only produced one hundred years in the world football world, and saying that only one World Cup champion was missing, Messi would definitely be the new generation of "King of Football".

It’s no wonder that the media are so flattering. Messi’s award is the fourth consecutive year that he won the World Footballer, which is now the FIFA Golden Ball Award. He has set an unprecedented record - such an achievement has never been possible before. An alien like Ronaldo has won the World Footballer three times in his career. At that time, it was already a great achievement, and he has not won this honor for three consecutive years.

Messi not only won the FIFA Golden Ball Award for four consecutive years, but also won the European Golden Ball Award twice in these four years. In 2010, due to the merger with the FIFA World Footballer Award, there was no European Golden Ball Award that year. In 2011, UEFA re-appointed the European Golden Ball Award, and Messi was snatched by the heroes.

Messi has become a "phenomenon" in the world football world. Everyone has said that there are two types of players today, one is called "Messi" and the other is called "player".

This naked approach of praising Messi made Chen Yingxiong very upset.

Because he was classified into the category of "players", he was completely of two levels with Messi. But Chen Yingxiong didn't think he was of two levels with Messi.

But except for being upset in his heart, he had no other way to vent.

If a media comes to him to ask what he thinks about Messi winning the FIFA Golden Ball Award for four consecutive years, he can take this opportunity to express his disdain.

But no media came to him.

That's why he is looking forward to the Europa League so much.

He can only use goals one after another on the court to let everyone understand - I, Chen Yingxiong, is much better than Messi!

On February 2, in the 25th round of the league, Liverpool welcomed Sunderland at home. In this game, Liverpool still sent all their main players, and finally defeated the "Black Cat" with a score of 3:0 at their home court.

Chen Yingxiong scored a goal in the game, and his Premier League goals this season have reached an astonishing thirty.

Van Persie, who ranked second, has only scored 18 goals, a difference of 12. It seems hopeless to win the top scorer this season.

Only then did Van Persie realize how stupid his idea was last season - this season doesn’t work and next season? Next season will be Chen Yingxiong’s world!

On February 10, the 26th round of the league, Liverpool challenged Chelsea away in the last league game before the knockout stage of the Europa League.

Liverpool now holds the top spot in the league and leads second place Manchester City four points. This difference makes Martin O'Neal feel relieved and safe, so he can calmly rotate his own.

Liverpool did not send all the main players away to play against Chelsea. They only sent half of the main players to play. Chen Yingxiong came on as a substitute in the 70th minute.

In the end, Liverpool and Chelsea tied 0:0. Neither side scored a goal. But the fool could see that Liverpool was playing Atletico Madrid away for the Europa League.

Of course, this draw actually has the credit for Chelsea, because Liverpool has retained its strength and Chelsea has also retained its strength.

Liverpool has the Europa League task, and Chelsea also has the Champions League task.

After playing against Chelsea, on February 13, Chen Yingxiong finally waited for the Europa League he longed for.

It is hard to imagine that under the current context, there are other giant players and teams who will be interested in the Europa League. Manchester City and Manchester United were kicked into the Europa League last season. Everyone thought they would cause a bloody storm here and finally met in the final. There was a good Manchester derby show in the Europa final. Unexpectedly, the two teams were eliminated after passing the first round of the knockout round and were eliminated for no reason. There are many statements about their elimination, but there is one factor that cannot be ignored, that is... Euro

The Pakistan League is actually not attractive to these two teams, and it is not attractive to Manchester United because Manchester United is a giant, and it is the main player who participates in the Champions League every year. It is normal not to take the UEFA Cup seriously. However, it is not attractive to the newly rising nouveau riche like Manchester City, which is very telling. Manchester City has only suddenly risen in the past two years. They should be grateful for being able to participate in the League Cup before, but now they do not take the continuation of the League Cup seriously. It is conceivable how much the influence of this event has reached.

It is said that Platini has just reformed the League Cup and became the Europa League, but he has begun to plan to cancel the Europa League and merge the Europa League and the Champions League. The reason is that the Europa League is not attractive to sponsors and TV broadcasters, and its ability to attract money is not as good as the Champions League, and it has become a waste of food and tasteless useless.

Of course, everything is absolutely absolutely true. Not all teams are not interested in the Europa League. I won’t talk about those second-rate league teams and second-rate teams in the first-rate league. They are willing to do so as long as it is a European game. Just say that among the giant teams, there are also many who are interested in the Europa League.

Liverpool is such a living example.

This has a lot to do with Liverpool's lack of championships with enough weight over the years.

Liverpool won a League Cup last season, but that was only a domestic champion after all, and among the three domestic champions, it was the lightest one. Apart from its special significance to Daglish, it did not have much value to Liverpool clubs.

The Europa League is different. It is a European battle anyway. Even if it is not attractive, it is still compared to the Champions League. The Champions League is now the world's number one football event, and its influence is not even comparable to the World Cup, so it is normal for the Europa League to be unattractive.

The Europa League is a European battle, and the European honors are still very tempting for a team. The Champions League champion is called "Euro Champion", and the Europa League champion can also be called "Euro Champion". He is also qualified to participate in the European Super Cup and compete with the Champions League champion for the honor of "King of the European Kings".

It's not comparable to a champion of the English League Cup - the League Cup champion is not even qualified to participate in the Community Shield Cup...

Not to mention Chen Yingxiong's goal, so Liverpool's team is more exciting to participate in the Europa League than playing in the Premier League... After all, they are already ranked first in the Premier League, so many people will naturally feel tired. In comparison, knockout matches like the Europa League are more fresh, after all, the opponent is unknown and fresh.

If Torres was still at Atletico Madrid, the confrontation between Liverpool and Atletico Madrid could have a story. Unfortunately, Liverpool has no Spanish color now, and Torres has left Liverpool. So this is just an ordinary Europa League game.

The most eye-catching thing in Liverpool's team is Chen Yingxiong. From the time the team arrived at the airport, the media surrounded him.

This is not the first time Chen Yingxiong has come to Madrid to compete, but it is his first time to compete with Atletico Madrid.

He had played against Real Madrid before when he was in Naples. Atletico Madrid is relatively unfamiliar to him.

This game is not really without gimmicks.

The media defined the game as "a competition between two Europa League top scorers".

Atletico Madrid has forward Falcao, the scorer is the first person Chen Yingxiong to surpass in the Europa League. It was he who set a record of 17 goals in the 2010-2011 Europa League, breaking the single-season goal record held by Chen Yingxiong after the League Cup restructuring.

Chen Yingxiong has scored fourteen goals this season, which is just the number of goals in the group stage. He has great hope of breaking Falcao's record.

So the reporters especially want to see what the direct conversation between these two Sagittarius will be like.

And this is also the best way for Falcao to defend his record - as long as he and Atletico Madrid defeated Liverpool in the 16th final, Chen Yingxiong will be unable to continue to make progress and score goals, and naturally it will be impossible to threaten his record.

At the same time, Chen Yingxiong is not without any chance. Even if Liverpool is eliminated by Atletico Madrid, as long as he can seize the opportunity and score three goals in these two games... he can become an equal figure with Falcao in the UEFA Cup scorer list. If he can score four goals, he can surpass Falcao...

Of course, it is too difficult to score four goals.

Overall, as long as Atletico Madrid can eliminate Liverpool, Falcao's record will be safe, at most it will be shared with Chen Yingxiong.

At the airport, Chen Yingxiong was blocked by the Madrid media. Everyone must let him tell him about Falcao's record.

"Record? That thing is used to break it!"
