They had also clearly gotten the list early and announced it to the public a little later.
First, the stars ranked 21st to 30th were announced.
"Quick, look! Benzema is at the bottom of the rankings."
"Ribery is 28th, and he's tied with Barça's Yaya Toure. He probably only got one vote."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Everyone at Dortmund was quite impressed with Foyelner's reasoning abilities.
"Dzeko is here, 21st place, also tied with several others."
"What about Wang Shuo?"
"Holy shit, Wang, you made the top 20!"
"Awesome! That's totally Ronaldo-level treatment!"
"I remember Ronaldo got 11 votes back then, tying for 12th."
"Yeah, it was 12th place."
"That's different. 2004 was a European Cup year. Remember how well Portugal did? Ronaldo got such a high rank because of the Portuguese national team's performance."
"True. I think it's already amazing for Wang to get into the top 20 in his first year."
