ZURICH , JAN 13 - For the third time, Cristiano Ronaldo was voted the world's best football player. He hopes it also brought him closer to being remembered as one of the greatest of all time.Ronaldo won the FIFA Ballon d'Or in a rout on Monday, racking up more than twice the votes of Lionel Messi, who edged German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer into third.The Real Madrid and Portugal forward's latest hat trick tied him with Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo of Brazil on three FIFA awards. The original Ballon d'Or presented by France Football magazine was won by European standouts Johan Cruyff, Michel Platini and Marco van Basten three times each.Only Messi's four FIFA awards is ahead of the 29-year-old Ronaldo, whose Madrid team again seems better placed for trophies in 2015 than his rival's Barcelona."I want to become one of the greatest players of all time," Ronaldo said throuough a translator in his acceptance speech. "Of course, this requires a lot of effort and I hope to get there."Ronaldo retained football's highest individual honor after scoring 61 goals last year. His record tally of 17 in a Champions League season helped Madrid win an unprecedented 10th European Cup title — and overshadowed a relatively disappointing World Cup campaign.He has kept up the pace since FIFA's voting college — national team captains and coaches, plus selected journalists, in more than 180 countries took part — cast ballots in November.Ronaldo helped Madrid take the Club World Cup title last month to cap a Spanish-record 22-match winning streak."It's a fantastic moment in my career," Ronaldo said after the FIFA ceremony. "I want to carry on with more titles in my career, collective and individual."He won his first FIFA award in 2008 as a Manchester United player and on Monday cited his mentor there, Alex Ferguson, as an inspiration."He would say, 'Cristiano, you are the best, don't worry about the rest.' He's fantastic. I miss him," Ronaldo said.One year ago, Ronaldo was in tears of joy and relief at ending Messi's four-year hold on football's highest individual honor.He was a much more composed winner on Monday.On hearing his name read by French great Thierry Henry, Ronaldo closed his eyes, dipped his head and smiled before walking to the stage."It has been an unforgettable year," Ronaldo, who now has a statute in his home island Madeira, said after taking a deep breath.
In what has become a Ballon d'Or tradition, Portugal captain Ronaldo did not pick Messi in his top three and Argentina captain Messi ignored Ronaldo on his ballot. Neither selected Neuer. Ronaldo received 37.66 percent of total voting points in a 23-candidate ballot. Messi got 15.76 percent and Neuer 15.72 percent.
बच्चा जन्माउने बेला हुँदासम्म कुनै युवतीलाई आफु गर्भवती भएको समेत थाहा हुँदैन, त्यो पनि अमेरिका जस्तो देशमा । निकै अचम्म लाग्दो यो घटना अनुसार कम्मर दुखेर कम्मरको उपचार गर्न अस्पताल पुगेकी एक युवतीलाई अस्पतालमै आफु गर्भवती भएको थाहा भयो र अस्पतालमै बच्चा समेत जन्माइन् ।
घटना म्यासाच्यूसेट्सको हो । २३ वर्षकी केटी क्रोपस कम्मर दुखाइको पीडाले थलिएकी थिइन् । उनलाई कम्मर किन दुखिरहेको छ भन्ने थाहा थिएन त्यसैले उपचारको लागि डाक्टरकहाँ पुगिन् । अस्पतालमा चेकजाँच गराउँदा डाक्टरहरुले एक्कासी उनको पेटमा गर्भ रहेको बताएपछि उनी छाँगाबाट खसेझैँ भइन् । आफु गर्भवती भएको थाहा पाएको एक घण्टामै उनले छोरी समेत जन्माइन् ।
केटीले स्थानीय संचारमाध्यमलाई बताए अनुसार मंगलबार बिहान उनी कम्मर दुखाइको समस्या दिएर अस्पताल पुगेकी थिइन् । अस्तालमा मंगलबार रात उनको अल्ट्रासाउण्ड गराइयो । अल्ट्रासाउण्डपछि उनलाई एकाएक प्रसुति गराउने कोठामा लगियो । आफुलाई बच्चा जन्माउने कोठामा लगिएपछि उनले त्यहाँ ल्याउनुको कारण सोधिन् । डाक्टरहरुले उनी गर्भवती रहेको र बच्चा जन्मिने बेला भएको बताएपछि उनी एकाएक छाँगाबाट खसेझैँ भइन् । राति सबा १० बजे आफु गर्भवती भएको थाहा पाएकी उनले ११ बजेर ६ मिनेट जाँदा छोरी जन्माइन् ।
आफ्नो कोखबाट जन्मिएकी छोरीको बाउ को हो ? भन्ने आफुलाई जानकारी नभएको उनको जिकिर छ । तर डाक्टरहरुले भने बच्चामा पेट हुँदासम्म आफुलाई त्यसको बारेमा अन्तिम सम्म जानकारी नभएको बताएर धेरैले नखरा पार्ने भन्ने उनको दाबी पत्याएनन् । बच्चा पेटमा हुँदा समेत थाहा नपाएको भन्ने उनको जिकिरलाई अस्पतालका अरुले पनि खुबै खिल्ली उडाए ।
केटीले आफ्नी छोरीको नाम एली राखेकी छिन् । अन्तिम समयसम्म पनि बच्चा पेटमा रहेको थाहा नपाएको र बच्चाको पिता समेत थाहा नहुँदा आफुले बच्चा जन्माइसकेको घटनाबाट आफु निकै उत्साहित भएको भन्दै उनले आफुलाई यस्तो अवस्थामा सहयोग गर्ने सबैलाई धन्यवाद दिएकी छिन् । निकै मोटीघाटी देखिने ती महिलाको भिडियो अहिले इन्टरनेटमा खुबै चर्चित बनेको छ ।
