Chapter 444 Great Britain Messi, who is the first
In September, major leagues officially begin.

The Champions League grouping has also just been released.

Villa's opponents in this year's Champions League group stage are Bundesliga powerhouse Wolfsburg, Dutch Eredivisie giants PSV Eindhoven, and Russian Premier League giants CSKA Moscow.

It doesn't matter whether you have good luck or not.

You win no matter who you meet.

Alaves led by Fan Zhiyi was very lucky, as their opponents were French giants Lyon, Russian Premier League giants Zenit, and Belgian giants Gent Football Club.

Neither are strong.

Fan Zhiyi has started to pass all the game information to He Tianqi this season.

Substitute mode is turned on.

Zidane's Palermo team is in the group of death.

The opponents are super team Barcelona, ​​Bundesliga powerhouse Leverkusen, and Belarusian giants Borisov.

Zidane certainly coaches independently, but he has played against all three teams alongside He Tianqi.

Borisov sent to the branch.

As long as we beat Leverkusen, we will basically qualify as the second in the group.

Therefore, He Tianqi is doing three things at once this season.

It is equivalent to coaching Aston Villa, Alaves and Caen at the same time.

In addition, you also need to pay attention to check the inspection reports of other league teams below at any time.

But even in this harsh working environment, Aston Villa still won all the Premier League, Carabao Cup and FA Cup competitions throughout September, October and November.

Yes, not undefeated.

But to win.

-

Mane, Lewandowski/Lukaku, Salah/Mahrez
De Bruyne, Kante, Modric

Cuadrado, Rudiger, Van Dijk, Walker

Oblak
-

This lineup is already amazing.

But the most outstanding player is not in this lineup.

Because the most outstanding player in the past few months is actually the young player Grealish, who originally belonged to the third team.

In September, the team's main right winger Salah suffered a serious injury and was basically out for the season.

Mahrez, who was a substitute in that position, became the starter.

As a result, Mahrez was also injured after playing two games.

Grealish, who was third in line, succeeded in taking the position and performed extremely well from the start.

With De Bruyne and Modric taking turns to pass the ball, Grealish played very comfortably.

As long as he runs into an open space, the football will definitely come to his feet.

He can shoot directly or show off before shooting.

Anyway, the players became more and more confident as they played, and they directly played like superstars.

So much so that after Mahrez recovered from his injury, he could only serve as a substitute for Grealish.

After Sterling, the second rising British star was not Ali, Kane, Luke Shaw, Maguire and others as everyone had thought.

On the contrary, it is Grealish who has always been lukewarm.

This is totally unexpected.

Grealish also won the Premier League's best player in November with his outstanding performance.

And judging from the current situation, he is likely to be the best player in December.

Just like Hazard two years ago, amazing to the depths of the soul.

Clara's View called Grealish "the British Messi".

In an instant, Grealish became famous all over the world.

Argentine fans were the first to express their dissatisfaction, angrily criticizing Grealish in the media:

"This is the biggest insult to Argentina!"

"How dare a British person call himself Messi?"

"There can be Messi anywhere, but not in England!"

"Every hair on Messi's leg is a better footballer than Grealish."

"Messi has been at his peak for ten years, and Grealish has only played well for two months. How dare he try to cheat me?"

"Villa's players are getting more and more disgusting!"

"I really hope the plane crashes when Villa plays an away game in the Champions League!"

England and Argentina have a long-standing grudge.

Grealish became the flashpoint.

Of course, British fans are fighting back:

"If you say Messi was at his peak for ten years and only won one Champions League, then I have nothing to say."

"Little-known fact: Grealish has won one World Cup, four Champions Leagues, three Premier Leagues, one Europa League, five FA Cups, five League Cups, six Community Shields, and five European Super Cups at Villa...more championship trophies than Messi, and more valuable!"

"Messi, a mere outdated character, dares to compete with me, the Emperor?"

"Emperor Spurs, the new king of Great Britain! Grealish's statistics so far this season are better than Messi's!"

"I think Messi should be called the Argentine Grealish!"

Argentine fans are furious.

But there is no way, Grealish played in all competitions, especially in the League Cup, where he scored five goals and five assists.

Although Messi's Premier League data is slightly worse than La Liga, his overall data is better.

Messi is not old at 28.

But the 20-year-old Grealish is full of hope.

For a moment, Barcelona also had the idea.

Messi's salary is too high. He and Ronaldo are almost suffocating the club.

If there is a player who can replace Messi, he doesn't have to be stronger than Messi. Even if he only has 70% of Messi's fighting power, he can free up Barcelona's terrifying salary space.

It would be no problem to use it to strengthen the team with two or three players who have 70% of Messi's ability.

In other words, Messi's salary is equal to two Messis.

Coupled with the salary increase for the entire team brought about by his anchoring effect, Barcelona secretly launched the "Messi successor" plan.

It is expected that the team will introduce players with a playing style similar to Messi, pretending to get along with Messi, but in fact they will have to wait until 2018 at the latest to replace Messi - if Messi fails to win the World Cup.

Grealish was shortlisted thanks to his performances in the "March Madness" in October, November and December.

……

On December 20th, the Club World Cup final kicked off in Japan.

Starting this year, the naming rights of the Club World Cup for the next eight years will be obtained by Chinese Internet company Alibaba.

So you can also call it the Alibaba Club World Cup.

Aston Villa beat Argentine River Plate 3-0.

He Tianqi has won a total of 67 championships as a coach.

The most disgusting thing about this game for Argentines was that "Messi's substitute" Grealish scored twice.

Lewandowski scores.

De Bruyne assisted and scored twice.

You said this is the whole thing.

From the beginning of the season to now, Villa has won all competitions except for one draw and one loss in the Champions League.

In the Champions League, they easily advanced as the group leader.

Wolfsburg advanced as second in the group.

The other two teams of the Apocalypse Football Group, Palermo and Alaves, both advanced as runners-up in the group.

In the Premier League, Villa, Chelsea and Arsenal advanced to the round of 16 of the Champions League.

In Serie A, there are only two teams: Palermo and Roma.

La Liga has the most teams, with Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Alaves all entering the round of 16.

La Liga is back!
The draw for the Champions League round of 16 also began afterwards.

Villa unfortunately drew their own team Alaves.

This is actually a high probability event.

Because Villa's opponents are actually drawn from the second-placed teams including Alaves, Palermo, Paris, Juventus and Dynamo Kyiv.

Two of our own teams, 40 percent probability.

There is also another team that serves as its own consultant.

Considering that UEFA may not assign Juventus to Villa so early, so...

It's really such a coincidence.

Among the other teams, Paris drew Chelsea.

Atletico Madrid caught Wolfsburg.

Palermo met Benfica. Real Madrid drew Roma.

Bayern met Juventus.

Barcelona drew Arsenal.

Manchester City drew Dynamo Kyiv.

There are big teams fighting against each other, and there are also underdog teams meeting each other.

A lot to watch.

At the end of December, this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held.

The players who finally made it into the top three this year were De Bruyne, Ronaldo and Pogba.

Argentina's Messi thinks this is unfair.

Because Messi led Argentina to win the America's Cup runner-up this summer.

They lost to Chile in the final.

Among them, the performances of players such as Sanchez and Vidal were particularly outstanding, and this was the first time that they and the Chilean team won the America's Cup.

In the end, De Bruyne won the Golden Ball.

Won the award for the second time.

C Ronaldo came in second, and his personal data is actually better than De Bruyne.

But De Bruyne's honors are too invincible.

No one dared to challenge the seven championships he won with Villa in the middle of the year.

The reason why Ronaldo can compete with De Bruyne is actually because Villa did not have an absolute star last season.

De Bruyne, Sterling, Boateng and even Modric and Juventus' Pogba are potential Ballon d'Or winners.

They almost all have the highest honors.

Unlike previous years, De Bruyne and Bale's data were far ahead.

Pogba finished third.

Although he only won the Italian domestic double, his performance was obvious to all.

With Pirlo moving to the Major League Soccer in the summer, all the tickets for Italy are given to Pogba alone.

Messi is fourth, with a bonus from the America's Cup.

But Chilean fans have something to say.

Messi is fourth, so why can't Sanchez be third?
Of course, fifth is Bale, whose momentum at Real Madrid has declined slightly.

He is waiting for Ronaldo to leave the team. Florentino promised that it would not take too long, but... Florentino may have overestimated his ability to suppress Ronaldo.

Bale's personality is the same as Benzema's. Although they are ruthless people outside, they will automatically become good people when they meet someone more ruthless.

His character is not as tough as players like Cristiano Ronaldo and De Bruyne.

And Ronaldo will not give up resources to Bale, so Bale gradually becomes the second in command in Real Madrid.

This is completely different from when he worked with De Bruyne before.

At that time, De Bruyne was letting Bale play, and the positions of the two sides were staggered, so the competition was not so direct.

Bell felt a little regretful about this.

If he had known this would be the case, he would have preferred to stay at Villa for two more seasons.

Not only will he become more powerful by winning two more Ballon d'Ors, but Ronaldo is also two years older and has declined in all aspects...so he is not afraid even if we go head-to-head.

What a pity, what a pity!
Lewandowski, who has had a big performance this season, ranked sixth.

Neymar is too popular, ranked seventh.

Dong Fangzhuo is eighth.

Boateng is ninth.

Modric quietly ranked tenth again.

This is the second consecutive year that he has made it into this ranking.

Neuer XI.

Muller XII.

Hazard XIII.

Sanchez XIV.

Stirling 15th.

Next in no particular order are Real Madrid players such as Courtois, James Rodriguez, Benzema, Kroos, etc.

Iniesta, Mascherano, Rakitic and other Barcelona players.

Aguero, Yaya Toure and other Manchester City players.

Robben, Ribery, Vidal and other Bayern players.

Lukaku, Walker, Kante and other Villa players.

Azpilicueta of Chelsea.

Ibrahimovic of Paris Saint-Germain.

……

Twenty days later, the FIFA World Player of the Year award was announced.

De Bruyne successfully won the award for the second time.

He has won another of the highest honors in football.

The second place is Messi.

It is conceivable that if Argentina wins the Copa America this year, the trophy belonging to De Bruyne will be taken away by Messi.

As we all know, the value of the America's Cup often depends on the performance of the Argentine team.

The third place is still Ronaldo.

Fourth place: Dong Fangzhuo. The influence of the Chinese superstar can already be seen in Asia.

Sterling ranked fifth, and the English people did public relations, vowing to create another Owen within two years!
Sterling is the most promising player in the past two years.

Grealish is the most promising player for the future.

The sixth Bell.

Seventh, Modric, the thief is advancing quietly.

Eighth Boateng.

Ninth Pogba.

10th Sanchez.

Afterwards, "Clara's View" did an issue commenting on the world's number one player of the 21st century.

Lists the winners of the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year over the past fifteen years and the number of times they have won.

Zidane, two-time World Footballer of the Year.

Figo, one-time World Footballer of the Year and one-time Ballon d'Or winner.

Irving, one Golden Globe Award.

Rivaldo, one-time World Footballer of the Year.

Ronaldo, one-time World Footballer of the Year and one-time Ballon d'Or.

Nedved, one Ballon d'Or.

Ronaldinho, two-time World Player of the Year and one Ballon d'Or.

Shevchenko, one Golden Ball.

Ribery, one-time World Footballer of the Year and one-time Ballon d'Or.

Kaka, one-time World Footballer of the Year and one-time Ballon d'Or winner.

C Ronaldo, two-time World Footballer of the Year and three-time Ballon d'Or winner.

Messi, two FIFA Ballon d'Or awards, which equals four times due to the merger of the awards.

De Bruyne, one FIFA Ballon d'Or, two World Footballer of the Year, one Ballon d'Or, a total of five times.

Bale, two Ballon d'Or winners.

C Ronaldo and De Bruyne, five times, first tier.

Messi, four times, second tier.

Ronaldinho, three times, third gear.

Bale, Kaka, Ribery, Ronaldo, Figo, Zidane, twice, fourth tier.

Rivaldo, Shevchenko, Nedved, Owen, once, fifth gear.

There are still many missed players, such as Luca Toni, Modric, Di Maria and other players who have been ranked in the top five or even the top three for a long time, but if they are included, the number will be too large.

And this is only the twenty-first century.

Including the 1990s, Ronaldo has won the title five times, Zidane has won it four times, and Rivaldo has won it three times.

At the end of 2015, De Bruyne won two major awards in what was not his best year.

I have to say, this is the luck of winning awards.

As he is about to turn 25, he has also encountered the biggest temptation in his career.

Manchester City owner and one of the richest men in the world, Mansour, personally contacted De Bruyne, hoping that De Bruyne could join the Blue Moon.
