Later, the roster of European Football MR candidates in 2000 was indeed announced. This traditional selection organized by French Football Magazine has a history of 44 years and is regarded as one of the major honors of the world football world. As a result, France, the double winner of the World Cup and European Cup, had 11 players selected, becoming the biggest winner.

In addition to the French, there were six Argentines, six Italians, five Dutch, four Brazilians and three Portuguese shortlisted, England and Spain each had two players, and one of China, which had just won the gold medal at the Sydney Olympics, was also selected, which greatly added to Asia. Of course, this person was Zheng Zhi.

The most surprising thing is that Germany, the traditional football powerhouse, only Bayern Munich goalkeeper Kahn was selected.

At the club level, Serie A team is the most glorious: Lazio has five players selected, Milan's two players, Juventus and Fiorentina each have three players, and Roma and Parma also have two selected.

Fresh European footballer Rivaldo will face severe challenges. However, stars including Ronaldo, Buffon, Vieri, Bierhof and Mattus missed the list due to various reasons such as injuries.

The nomination was jointly elected by 51 sports journalists from European countries. The candidates, regardless of nationality, only need to play football in Europe and are eligible to participate in the competition. Each reporter selects the five best players based on one to five points, and the results will be announced on December 19.

Previously, there were analysis that Ukrainian Rockets Shevchenko, French midfielder Zidane, Portuguese superstar Figo and Inter Milan's new core Zheng Zhi will be popular candidates for this year's European footballer. The winners of the last five are Rivaldo, Zidane, Ronaldo, Summer and George Via.

Fans all hope that their favorite stars will become European football players in 2000. Just as at the end of the game, there is only one champion and only one European football player. Looking at this big list, who will be the winner? "Milan Sports" analyzed the players in each position:

forward:

Shevchenko (Ukrainian team/AC Milan): If the life is hard, you can't blame the government. If the Ukrainian team enters the European Cup finals, then Shevchenko will definitely be very glorious now. Just looking at his performance during this period, you can know why he is a shooting machine. He has many goals and comprehensive skills. He is known as the Ukrainian Rockets. He is the best scorer in Serie A last season. AC Milan's forwards often win European football players, such as Basten, Papan, Wei'a, etc. Maybe this time it should be Shevchenko. There should be no reason not to choose him as European football players.

Batistuta (Argentina/Roma): It's a day to succeed. He has been a candidate for European football for five consecutive years. Perhaps because the results of his club have affected him, he is always a little bit different from European football. Batistuta expressed his shooting machine in his special way and used batigoal to express himself as the king of the world's forward. Florence uses statues to express his admiration for him. There are many data to express his excellence, but he has been in Serie A for so many years and has never won a league championship. It is a regret. Maybe it's time to use European football to make up for this regret.

Avant-garde:

Centen (Netherlands/Barcelona): In the left forward position, Centen is well deserved to be the best person. In the European Cup, his performance on the left surprised many experts. Leng was to squeeze Ovemas to the right. O even sometimes sits on the bench. Centen's characteristic is that he is fast and always uses speed to pull the opponent's side defense, as if he is in a no-man's realm.

Totti (Italian team/Roma): Fans who love Baggio must hate him very much. It is his appearance that makes Baggio useless in the national team, otherwise I believe Baggio will shine in the European arena. Totti's assists have added some strength to Italy's weak beauty's waist. In the European Cup, he is a very important pawn of the Italian team and plays a role in threading needles. Now he is the new favorite of Serie A and the new idol of Italian fans. In the first few rounds of the new season, he led Roma to achieve excellent results. If he becomes a European footballer, please don't be surprised.

Zidane (France/Real Madrid): In 1998, he was named the European Footballer for his outstanding performance in the World Cup. This year, the French team won the European Footballer again, let alone the French Footballer magazine selected the European Footballerer. It is not unreasonable to choose him again. His simple footwork, unexpected passes, and fearless command. It is not an exaggeration to call him the French Football Emperor, because his results outweigh Platini. Unfortunately, he has not been smooth in Real Madrid during this period.

Figo (Portugal/Real Madrid): A sky-high player, maybe only European footballer can have this price. I hope it is worth it. He proves that buying him with his own performance is true, unlike Inter Milan who cannot use anyone, such as Ronaldo and Vieri. As long as he is on the court, the Portuguese goal is almost all related to him. Gomez does just to get the ball into the goal. His characteristics are similar to Zidane, the difference is that he is in Portugal and Zidane is in France. If Figo is in France, I believe Figo will achieve a better performance than Zidane. There is no reason, it feels like this. If French magazines have no prejudice, please choose him as Footballer.

Beckham (England/Manchester United): A superb right foot, one move, and you can eat all the time. Use your right foot, a fixed position, a fixed internal rotation, a fixed free kick, a fixed corner kick, a fixed oblique pass. Anyway, it's the old thing, but his right foot is the starting point for most Manchester United goals. Now he is promoted to the captain of England and is becoming increasingly mature. If he can continue to maintain this state, it may be better to choose him next year.

Zheng Zhi (China/Inter Milan): Honors: Olympic champion, Asian Cup champion, Asian Cup best player, Bundesliga champion, German Cup champion, Bundesliga most valuable player, Champions League champion, Champions League best player, superb technology, fantastic elevator ball performance, countless gorgeous goals... Maybe, no, no, maybe, he is the winner of the Golden Globe Award...

Defender:

Carlos (Brazil/Real Madrid): The number one left-back in the world today. His assist can be used as a left winger. His superb left-foot footing technique is amazing. He often uses a free kick with his left foot to score, and his skills are unique. However, if he wants to become a European footballer this year, it is unlikely that he will be the defender. After all, he is the defender. The same is true for the following two defenders.

Blanco (France/Inter Milan): The evergreen tree of the French team. He has rich experience. He plays the role of a stabilizing needle behind the French team. He also often assists in the penalty area to score goals. It is a magic weapon for the French team to score goals.

Deselli (France/Chelsea): Perhaps because of his long legs, he always gets the ball or hits the ball by half a beat faster than the opponent's forward. An important figure in the French defense. He is also the core of Chelsea's defensiveness. His condition has always been very stable.

goalkeeper:

Toldo (Italy/Fiorentina): His happiness is based on Buffon's pain, and it was his replacement for the injured Buffon that made him famous in the European Cup. He basically worked as a defender of the Italian team at the same time. It is precisely because of his strength that the Italian team's defense has become a veritable iron chain defense. Especially in the game against the Netherlands, he defeated the Netherlands alone like a god. If he can select the goalkeeper to be a European footballer, then Toldo is undoubtedly the best candidate.

It seems that the competition among midfielders is the most intense, and Zheng Zhi’s call is the highest.

In nine out of ten, Zheng Zhi is going to win the prize...

An unexpected guest came outside the gate of the Inter Milan training ground on Tuesday afternoon.

When many Italian media reporters waited at the entrance of the training ground to see Geral Erno, they almost exclaimed at the same time.

"Hiss~"

"Geral Erno!"

Everyone realized something.

Rumors are really going to become a fact?

Did Zheng Zhi counterattack the Frenchman Zidane win the Golden Globe Award? Otherwise, Erno should go to Madrid, Spain, rather than to Milan, Italy. Only those who win the Golden Globe Award will be qualified to shoot in French Football magazine.

Geral Ernault, the editor-in-chief of French Football magazine, will take pictures of the winners in person when the Golden Globe is about to be awarded every year. Today, the information is already very obvious.

“Erno,”

"Confirmed?"

Elno just smiled and did not answer positively. Sometimes, it would be more effective if he didn't say the answer directly. He and his assistant walked into the gate of the training ground, leaving these reporters outside to guess, and then called the newspaper crazily. Such a big news must be published in time, although he could not get a definite answer from Elno.

Subsequently, the news media on the official website of the Internet reported that Zheng Zhi was about to win the Golden Globe (Mr. European Football). The most awesome evidence was undoubtedly the emergence of Erno.

...

...

In the training ground, when seeing Erno appear, most people did not realize what a photographer came here to do. Anyway, there were a few photographers who could be allowed to shoot in the training ground every day, so there was no big fuss.

Until Ronaldo saw it, he immediately hugged Zheng Zhi.

"Zheng!"

"congratulations!"

"congratulations!"

Zheng Zhi was confused, "What are you congratulating me? I didn't get married, didn't have children, and didn't win the prize?"

"No experience?"

"Do you know who he is?" Ronaldo stretched out his right hand to Elno with a smile and took the initiative to introduce Elno.

"This is the famous editor-in-chief of French Football magazine, Geral Erno."

"I will never forget that day." A hint of happiness flashed in Ronaldo's eyes, as if he had returned to the day when he took the golden ball from Erno in 1997. "Mr. Gerard personally awarded me the Golden Ball."

Zheng Zhi certainly understood what Ronaldo said.

This is going to win the award!

Duang!

My head was blank.

Finally, the teammates saw a nervous Zheng Zhi, who could not even be seen on the field.

His face was a little flushed, his eyes were a little dull, and his body was stunned, as if someone had a hole in it. His teammates surrounded him from all directions, and everyone congratulated him.

"Mr. Zheng,"

"It is indeed as Ronnie said, you were named the 2000 European Footballer. We are here to record short videos today and invite you to the Golden Globes ceremony next Monday."

Zheng Zhi:...

Still didn't react. The amount of information is too large, my mind is very confused, and even my heart is beating very fast!

The last time I was so excited was the time to win the Asian Footballer.

Now?

This almost conquered the whole world and received honors.

"Zheng?"

"Zheng?"

After being called twice by Erno, Zheng Zhi recovered his mind a little, but he was still very excited.

"Thanks,"

"Thanks."

This time there are no good lines to say. They used to be confident. He touched his eyebrows nervously, "Thank you."
