After the game, Gao Xiaodong was in CEO David. Gil was accompanied by a flight to Zurich, Switzerland, for the next day's FIFA Ballon d'Or ceremony.

Before going to Zurich, Gao Xiaodong posted two messages on his Twitter, one congratulating Manchester United on winning the Double Red Club again and advancing to the fourth round of the FA Cup, and the other about the Ballon d'Or, "Zurich, I'm here." ”

Gao Xiaodong's tweet once again sparked heated discussions on the Internet.

Many Manchester United fans believe that if such a Gao Xiaodong can't win the Ballon d'Or, then they can't imagine what kind of performance can win the award.

Many Chinese fans believe that if Gao Xiaodong can't win the Golden Ball, there is only one reason, he is a Chinese.

Gao Xiaodong also has a high popularity in Switzerland, he came to Zurich so late, and when he checked into the hotel arranged by FIFA, there were still many local fans waiting at the door of the hotel to take a photo with Gao Xiaodong.

In the face of enthusiastic fans, Gao Xiaodong behaved very approachable, patiently signing autographs and taking photos with each fan, and occasionally answering some fans' questions.

Back in the hotel room, it was already early in the morning, Gao Xiaodong played a game, and with the fatigue of the journey, he took a bath and went to bed directly.

The next day, Gao Xiaodong had breakfast, head coach Alex Ferguson and vice president Joel. Glazer travelled to Zurich together, and then Ferguson and Gao Xiaodong attended FIFA's press conference as candidates for the Ballon d'Or and best manager.

At the press conference, Gao Xiaodong met with Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho.

Only half a year later, not only are the two no longer close partners in Milan, but they don't even get along on the phone, like two familiar strangers who can only be seen in newspapers and on TV.

The estrangement between Mourinho and Gao Xiaodong stemmed from the summer transfer, when Mourinho wanted to take Gao Xiaodong to Real Madrid to fight against the cosmos team Barcelona, but Gao Xiaodong chose to fulfill his commitment to Ferguson because of Ronaldo.

Mourinho's superstar is like a cloud, but he was swept 5:0 by Barcelona in the national derby, and he was 4 points behind Barcelona at halfway, which became the reason why Mourinho resented Gao Xiaodong.

However, when they met at the press conference at the hotel this time, of course it was impossible for the two to pretend not to know each other, Gao Xiaodong took the initiative to go over to greet Mourinho, "Long time no see, Mu Shuai is good." ”

Mourinho didn't hug Gao Xiaodong, but just shook hands with Gao Xiaodong, "Hello Gao, I'm very happy to see you perform so well at Manchester United." ”

Mourinho said he was happy, but there was no joy on his face.

"That's thanks to the coach's guidance back then. ”

"Don't thank you, that's your talent...... Sir, I'm really happy to see you, I see that your complexion is really good, and it's no problem to work for another ten years. ”

Gao Xiaodong saw Mourinho's cold expression, and was ready to say a few words of greeting, but he didn't expect Mourinho to answer a word, and directly let him say hello to Ferguson.

Gao Xiaodong was a little embarrassed, but another candidate for the best coach, Spanish head coach Bosque, came over to greet him with a smile and said: "Gao, hello, it's really nice to see a young talent like you." ”

Gao Xiaodong knew Bosque and respected the old coach who led Spain to win the World Cup, and he hurriedly said: "Coach Bosque has won the award, and it is a great honor to meet the best coach in the world here." ”

Bosque laughed and said, "Young people are too good at talking, I can't be the best yet, but you have a good chance of becoming the best in the world." ”

Gao Xiaodong glanced at Xavi and Iniesta, and said: "Xavi and Iniesta's performances in the World Cup are outstanding, and they can both become the best in the world." ”

Xavi and Iniesta are opponents with Gao Xiaodong on the court, and they don't like Gao Xiaodong's style of play, but Gao Xiaodong praised them in front of Bosque, and both of them were very polite and modest.

After exchanging pleasantries, the three best coaches and Ballon d'Or candidates took their seats and began to take questions from reporters.

Today is the day of the Golden Globe Awards, and the topic is naturally inseparable from the Golden Globes and other major awards.

Ferguson said that all three candidates are the world's top players, and everyone is eligible to win the award, but the Ballon d'Or is the highest award for an individual, and it should be awarded to the player with the most outstanding individual ability, and this is an annual award ceremony, which means that a player should have an outstanding performance throughout the year to win the award.

Ferguson is a disciple who directly supports himself, Manchester United player Gao Xiaodong.

Ferguson was not ambiguous about the selection of the best coach, saying that he did not receive any major honors and did not deserve the best coach, and that Mourinho and Bosque were the best, but he was more optimistic about Mourinho winning the award, because Mourinho is more popular and famous.

Bosque supports his disciples Xavi and Iniesta, he believes that the World Cup is the highest honor that a player can get, and the World Cup once every four years is more difficult and meaningful, Spain won the World Cup for the first time, Xavi and Iniesta contributed the most, and it is normal for them to win the Ballon d'Or.

However, Bosque also said that if Gao Xiaodong wins the Golden Globe, it is not that it is unfair, and Gao Xiaodong is fully worthy of the Golden Globe Award.

As for the best coach, Bosque believes that Mourinho has performed better than him this year, because it is remarkable that Inter Milan can win the treble, and Mourinho has shown the ability and quality of the best coach.

Both Ferguson and Bosque praised their players, believing that it was normal for their disciples to win the award, and that no one would be unbiased, but when Mourinho was asked by reporters, his answer was a bit evocative.

This year's "Ballon d'Or" and FIFA's "World Footballer of the Year" Combined into one, the selection will be more complicated, prediction is a very flattering thing, according to the original rules, in the year of the tournament, one of the teams that won the World Cup will win the Ballon d'Or, just like Cannavaro in '06, but this is very unfair to the players who have performed well in the club, last season, my Inter Milan won the treble, at least three players in the team are eligible for the Ballon d'Or, if you combine the club and the national team, Sneijder should have won the Ballon d'Or, but now Sneijder is not in the final three-person list, so I don't know who will win in the end。 ”

Then Mourinho praised Ronaldo again, "Ronaldo is the best player in the world, he didn't make it to the final three-man list of the Ballon d'Or just because of Real Madrid's poor results, if Real Madrid has a heavy title, Ronaldo can compete for this award." ”

Mourinho showed the style of a madman to be the best coach in the world, saying that he is the best coach and that if he doesn't win this award, he probably won't come.

Mourinho's words seem to be impartial, but he and Gao Xiaodong can stand here, mainly relying on the results achieved by the two at Inter Milan, and now Mourinho does not speak for Gao Xiaodong, which obviously exposes the discord between him and Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong is the first time to enter the top three list of the Golden Globe Awards, and Gao Xiaodong has no bottom in his heart about whether he can win the award, at this time, he still needs someone to support and cheer him up, Mourinho's words made Gao Xiaodong a little chilled.

When interviewed by reporters, Gao Xiaodong directly scolded Mourinho, "I don't know if I'm the best, but I'm definitely one of the best, because I'm standing here, if it's not a World Cup year, I believe the Ballon d'Or is mine, I'm the best player in the Treble club, as for who will win the award now, I don't know, but next time I will definitely get the Ballon d'Or." ”
