"So I think it made sense to be called 'European Footballer of the Year' before '95, but it didn't make sense after '95 because the best players in the world generally play in Europe.Although it is limited to the Euroleague, the Euroleague itself is also selected from all over the world, after all, it is not Pele's era for a long time.It's just that there is still this formal restriction, so it's okay not to change the name for the time being.But it won't work in the future, it can only be called the Ballon d'Or, not European Footballer. ”Wang Ai said this, and added: "In fact, from 95 years to the present, the Golden Ball Award and the World Footballer have overlapped many times, and there will only be more overlaps in the future, and the possibility of merging the two awards will not be ruled out in the future." ”"Two jackpots combined?
Will it?
”"It's not unlikely."
Wang Ai nodded and said: "After last year's reform, the Golden Ball Award has completely overlapped with the World Footballer in terms of selection scope, and it has been highly overlapping before.After this reform, the Golden Globe Awards will definitely have to re-establish their own selection rules, if both sides are awarded to the same person for a long time, why not merge?
”"Then there's only one big prize after that?
That's a veritable number one in the world. ”Hearing this, Wang Ai shook his head and thought for a while: "But in the longer run, it may not be split again and run your own business." ”"And why?"
Duan Xuan's train of thought was completely deviated by Wang Aila."
The Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, after all, are awarded by different organizations, and although the final objects of the two sides may be the same, the interests of the two sides are not the same, and there are still differences in how to operate.After a period of merger, they will not part ways due to inconsistencies in their respective directions. ”Duan Xuan frowned and thought deeply, Wang Ai interrupted when he saw it: "I mean deep, right?"
Let's talk about something else, right?
”"Oh, no!"
Duan Xuan hurriedly waved his hand: "Then you can popularize it for everyone, don't watch it for many years, some rules still don't understand." ”Wang Ai scratched his head: "I think, no one wants to go to class, right?"
”"You can talk about it vividly."
Liu Jianhong stood on the side of the audience below, and coaxed."
Okay."
Wang Ai thought for a while before he spoke: "This modern football is actually the coexistence of two systems.One is the commercial football system and the other is the honor football system.Well, maybe no one has said that before, right?
I don't know if my definition is accurate or not, but I'll just say that, and I'll explain the meaning to you. ”"It's the professional league and the national team, right?""
Yes, that's intuitive.In fact, it can also be regarded as the difference between the Club World Cup and the World Cup.On the surface, one is the highest stage of professional clubs and the other is the highest stage of national teams, but the nature of operation is quite different. ”"Come, Dr.
Wang, take a sip of tea and talk slowly."
Duan Xuan pushed the teacup over.Wang Ai smiled and took a sip: "To put it simply, the club needs to make money to maintain, and the national team does not need to make money."
The club's primary task is to sell tickets, jerseys, and broadcast rights, which is the core task.If they can't make money, they will cut their budgets and even sell the club, and they will never make a loss-making deal.But the national team is not, the national team, including the national Olympic team and the national youth team, is to compete for honor as the core task.Although the national team does not exclude making money, when there is a conflict between making money and results, they will choose results.Therefore, although the two systems often use the same group of people, the values, evaluation systems and directions are different. ”Wang Ai looked at the audience and continued: "Commercial football, or professional leagues, is inseparable from star players.Because there are many people who love to watch and pay attention to star players, as soon as he plays, the TV broadcast rate and jersey tickets sell well.But it's different with the national team, strictly speaking, there are no star players in the national team, only athletes.Clubs can lose some of their competitiveness in order to make more money, but national teams usually don't.Therefore, every time an international competition comes, some national teams will have star players who are not selected, just because the evaluation systems of the two are different. ”The audience nodded frequently when they listened, and Duan Xuan interjected: "Then what does this have to do with the division and combination of the two awards?"
”"The Ballon d'Or is a media award, organized by France Football magazine.Western media, like clubs, also want to make money and sell sales.The World Footballer of the Year award is an organization award presented by FIFA.Although FIFA is also a commercial organization, FIFA's membership is the governing body of football in each member state.Therefore, honorary football has a greater impact on FIFA than it does on France Football magazine, so honorary football also has a greater impact on the world footballer than on the Ballon d'Or.Therefore, the two sides may merge due to the reform of the Golden Globe Awards and the overlapping selection scope.However, in essence, the difference in goals, orientation, and evaluation system will cause some contradictions between the two parties, so there is a possibility of breaking up again after the merger. ”"You mean, the Golden Globes are a bit more focused on commercial sports.World Footballer of the Year focuses on honorary sports?
”"Yes."
Wang Ai nodded, looked at the audience and said: "For example, in 2000, World Footballer of the Year, Zidane, Golden Ball, Figo."
Why?
Because of the European Cup of honor football that year, France was the champion, and Zidane was the core.In the European Champions Cup of commercial football that year, Real Madrid was the champion and Figo was the core.Therefore, the World Footballer of the Year of the Year was given to Zinedine Zidane, who performed better in honorary football, and the Ballon d'Or was given to Figo, who performed better in commercial football. ”The audience looked at each other and suddenly applauded Wang Ai.For the 2008 audience, this is a long story.Wang Ai added: "Of course, except for the World Cup, in the past three World Cups, the selection results of that year are the same, and they are all the core of the championship team.FIFA has an honorary football factor, but it is also a commercial organization, and the commercial value of the World Cup itself is very large.Well, from that point of view, last year, oh the year before that, Zidane and I lost to Cannavaro, and we weren't wronged. ”Duan Xuan suddenly smiled: "You mean that if there was no World Cup the year before last, you would have been able to win it a year earlier?"
”Wang Ai is also happy: "If it weren't for the Golden Boot award in the World Cup in Germany, maybe my ranking would not be so high."
Anyway, in the World Cup year, the advantage of the core of the champion team is too obvious, after all, that is what the whole world is seeing. ”Liu Jianhong has a lot of crossovers in sports at this time, is that commercial sports actually assuming the responsibility of providing talents for honorary sports?
”Seeing Wang Ai nodding, Liu Jianhong added: "Then is there any way to prosper our league immediately?"
What do you think can be done to improve the level of our league?
”Reborn at the top of football
