Lead:
The battlefield of the Golden Globe Awards has always been turbulent and unpredictable.
This year, the selection rules have changed dramatically, making the football event even more confusing.
Three of Real Madrid's talents, Vinicius, Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe, who were supposed to be the most anticipated players, all fell into a slump this summer of national team competition.
At this moment, Rodri was like a dark horse, breaking into people's field of vision.
Where will the final Golden Globe Awards go?
1. The dilemma of Real Madrid's three sons
Bellingham's twists and turns
Bellingham, the star of the Champions League final who held out until the end, was holding a precious ticket to the Ballon d'Or.
However, in a fierce collision with club team-mate Carvajal, his seemingly formidable advantage was instantly wiped out, and repeated head-to-head encounters were frustrated, and he was even mercilessly ridiculed by his opponents.
Stepping onto the European Championship, apart from his stunning performance in the opening match and the stunning barb in the quarter-finals, most of the rest of the moments were like a flash in the eye.
Compared with his key role at the club, his performance in the national team to dominate the ball and get along with his teammates has undoubtedly become the focus of criticism.
In my opinion, Bellingham may have been a little overconfident and failed to make the most of his team, leaving himself in a situation of isolation.
Mbappe's hard road
Mbappe's situation is similarly difficult.
He suffered a broken nose in his first game and struggled with injuries and breathing problems throughout the season.
As the leader of the France team, the European Championship coincided with the France general election, and the distractions of many non-competitive matters made it difficult for him to concentrate and seemed a little absent-minded.
With just one penalty in six games, this is a disappointing record for any striker of a strong team. Compared to the previous edition, his participation in the competition and his actual contribution were greatly reduced.
Mbappe was indeed affected by many off-field factors this time, and it is a pity that he failed to show the strength he should have.
Vinicius's tragic encounter
Vinicius's experience is even more impressive.
Supposed to be Argentina's rivals on their way to defending their title, Brazil were knocked out early by Uruguay in the Copa America quarter-finals, and Vinicius, suspended for accumulating two yellow cards, could only sigh in that crucial matchup.
His entire merit for the national team over the summer was just two goals against Paraguay.
When the team urgently needed him to charge and attack the city, he could only helplessly wave the flag for his teammates on the bench.
Vinicius was unlucky, tired of yellow cards and missed a great opportunity to show himself.
Second, the situation of the Golden Globe Awards has reversed
In the run-up to the Golden Globes, the competition is full of ups and downs.
Bellingham, who shone at the start of the season, was once regarded as the strongest contender for the Ballon d'Or.
However, with the deepening of the Champions League, he gradually became powerless and no longer stylish.
Vinicius, who had been in constant dispute with the media and fans, regained his strength at a critical moment, and with his key goal in the Champions League knockout round, he became the key man for Real Madrid to win the cup, and successfully overtook in the Golden Ball selection.
Mbappe's official arrival at Real Madrid has brought a lot of enthusiasm and made him one of the hot candidates.
3. Rodri's birth
But at the moment, the situation may be reversed by Rodri.
Although his stats at this tournament were not dazzling, and he only played half of the final due to injury, his rock-solid performance successfully conquered the expert jury and won the tournament's MVP trophy, which seems to be an important indicator of the Ballon d'Or.
The feat of successfully achieving four consecutive Premier League titles at Manchester City shows his outstanding strength.
Pep Guardiola's extreme reliance on him is well known, and City will stumble whenever he misses out injured.
In my eyes, Rodri has always been a low-key and pragmatic player, and his quality may be underestimated by many people.
Epilogue:
The competition for this year's Golden Globe Awards can be called magnificent and thrilling.
The collective slump of Real Madrid's three sons has left the Ballon d'Or unclear and Rodri's outstanding performance adding new variables to the battle.
Who will finally smile and lift the Ballon d'Or, the highest personal glory in football?
The answer is about to be revealed!
Dear readers and friends, for the ownership of this Golden Globe Awards, who is the balance in your heart?
Is it the three sons of Real Madrid who have gone through ups and downs, or the Rodri who was born out of nowhere?
