The FIFA Ballon d'Or is popularly known as the FIFA Ballon d'Or, which was created in 2010 by the merger of the former FIFA World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or selected by France Football magazine.

The award is given annually to the most outstanding footballer of the previous year.

In July 2010, FIFA reached an agreement with France Football magazine to merge the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or into one, and the two awards will continue to retain the name "Ballon d'Or" after the merger, while the other individual awards awarded by FIFA will remain unchanged.

The award is based on the FIFA World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or from France Football magazine, and is jointly selected by the head coaches and captains of the 208 national men's football teams under FIFA and 208 world-renowned media outlets around the world.

It is worth mentioning that the two sides of the award will cooperate for at least five years, and whether they can continue to cooperate after five years depends on the next response to the FIFA Golden Globe Awards.

However, with the accidents of the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or and the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or, the public opinion caused by it has a great impact on "French Football", so according to many media speculation, the possibility of continuing to cooperate will be infinitely close to zero.

After Real Madrid's La Liga away game against Espanyol, Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Madrid before flying to FIFA headquarters in Zurich at noon the next day to attend the 2013 FIFA annual awards ceremony.

As in previous years, in addition to the FIFA Ballon d'Or, Miss World Football, Best Men's Football Coach, Best Women's Football Coach, Goal of the Year, FIFA President's Special Award, FIFA Fair Play Award and Glory Golden Ball Award have also attracted media attention.

Of course, there is only one item that has attracted the most attention, and that is the FIFA Golden Globe Award.

The 2013 FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony was held at 1:30 a.m. Beijing time on January 14, which was 6:30 p.m. local time on January 13.

Tang Zheng, Cristiano Ronaldo, Xavi Alonso, Sergio Ramos and coach Carlo Ancelotti will all be in attendance at the 2013 FIFA Annual Awards.

It is worth mentioning that Tang Zheng and his teammate Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in Zurich earlier than the rest of their teammates, as they were the three nominees for the FIFA Ballon d'Or, they had to attend the press conference before the awards.

As soon as Tang Zheng arrived in Zurich, he was picked up by the president of Versace in the Swiss office, because Tang Zheng, as a signed star of Versace, naturally had to make good use of such a grand annual ceremony to start the brand benefit.

After all, Tang Zheng's performance in 2013 was impeccable, and it is not surprising that he will definitely be the one who won the final FIFA Golden Ball.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi attended the pre-award press conference of the FIFA Golden Ball Awards, the annual FIFA awards ceremony.

In addition, there are Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp and former Real Madrid manager and current Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.

In fact, the press conference before the award did not have much to watch, that is, some regular questions about Tang Zheng, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, nothing more than asking them if they are optimistic about their prospects for winning the award and what will happen if they are elected.

Although this is Tang Zheng's first time attending the press conference before the FIFA Golden Ball Awards, he still seems to be at ease, and even jokes with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo next to him from time to time.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng have a good relationship, and the two have a tacit understanding, but Messi looks very embarrassed.

Because deep down in his heart, Tang Zheng is still the enemy he wants to defeat......

The press conference lasted less than half an hour, and then Tang Zheng said goodbye to teammates Cristiano Ronaldo and Jurgen Klopp for a while, and then took a Versace business car to Zurich International Airport to pick up his girlfriend Zhao Lina.

Although Zhao Lina is not Versace's signed star, she attended the FIFA annual awards ceremony as Tang Zheng's girlfriend, so she naturally had to have a noble and elegant dress that matched her temperament and figure.

In this regard, Tang Zheng gave Versace the headquarters a baby early, so it was not a temporary arrangement, but a long preparation.

Now that the endorsement contract signed by Tang Zheng and Versace is about to expire, Versace will naturally not let go of Tang Zheng, a thriving international football superstar, and meticulous 'service' is a manifestation of looking forward to renewing the contract.

Tang Zheng and Zhao Lina looked particularly handsome and beautiful in the clothes carefully prepared by Versace, coupled with the stylist's almost harsh trimming of the hairstyle, the whole person's image was particularly eye-catching.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Zheng took his girlfriend Zhao Lina's little hand and stepped on the red carpet ceremony of the FIFA annual awards ceremony.

There are many stars, well-known coaches, and football celebrities who participated in the 2013 FIFA annual awards ceremony, so there are many reporters who come to the scene, and the flashing lights are constantly flashing.

Tang Zheng has long been accustomed to this kind of life, and as his girlfriend Zhao Lina, she is also used to Tang Zheng often going in and out of this kind of occasion, and she looks very calm and calm.

Tang Zheng is handsome and chic, and Zhao Lina is beautiful and tall, they are simply a pair of fairy couples in world football.

There are many media reporters who focus their cameras on Tang Zheng and Zhao Lina, especially in China.

The other FIFA Ballon d'Or candidates Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are also popular with the media, after all, the winners have not yet been announced, and the suspense is still there.

Messi is wearing a burgundy suit with a black bow tie, the whole person looks casual and serious, and the glamorous Antonella is following in a black evening dress, holding Messi's right forearm, which looks particularly radiant.

Cristiano Ronaldo is wearing a black suit, coincidentally wearing a bow tie like Messi, and his Russian supermodel girlfriend Elena is more eye-catching than the girl next door, Antonella, and her figure is even more perfect than Tang Zheng's girlfriend Zhao Lina.

Like other Real Madrid stars Sergio Ramos and Xavi Alonso, Borussia Dortmund's Robert Lewandowski, Hummels, Gotze and others are also in the spotlight.

As the brightest team in the whole of 2013, it is natural that it will not be far behind.

At the sign-in area, Tang Zheng and his girlfriend Zhao Lina took a symbolic group photo, and then entered the opera house.

Tang Zheng saw the former teammates of Dortmund who had entered the stadium only a few days ago in Marrakech, Morocco, and they hugged Tang Zheng with the same big grin as they did more than half a month ago, making some jokes.

Although Dortmund is the champion of the Champions League in the 2012-2013 season, only Tang Zheng belongs to the Dortmund family of the three candidates for the FIFA Golden Ball Award, but there are not a few Dortmund players who performed well last season, so there are more players and candidates for the FIFA Team of the Year.

It is worth mentioning that the trusted head coach of the Chinese men's football team, Marcelo Lippi, also came to the Zurich Opera House as an invited guest to participate in the 2013 FIFA Annual Ceremony.

Previously, Tang Zheng and Lippi only contacted by phone, and the meaning expressed was obvious, that is, Lippi released a signal to Tang Zheng to build a new Chinese men's football team with Tang Zheng as the absolute core.

Lippi also hoped that Tang Zheng could replace the original captain Zheng Zhi as the new captain, but Tang Zheng smiled and declined.

First of all, the Evergrande Gang plays a pivotal role in the national team, and secondly, Zheng Zhi has made a great contribution to the Chinese men's football team, and he will be 34 years old this year and can still maintain a good competitive state, which makes Tang Zheng feel admired.

Although sometimes a little grumpy, in the final analysis, it is for the sake of the team's interests.

Such a captain is indispensable for an old international team that is about to participate in the World Cup!

Although this is the first time Tang Zheng and Lippi have met, the two chatted very smoothly and happily, without any huge age barriers, and even gave people a feeling of hating each other.

Even Tang Zheng had to admire Lippi's words, and he spoke with a lot of anger, not like an old man over sixty years old at all.

A short time later, the sound system of the opera house sent a warm reminder from the staff, that is, to remind the guests and invited stars to get ready to take their seats and wait for the grand opening of the 2013 FIFA annual awards ceremony.

In the arrangement of seats, FIFA staff also have special arrangements, such as Tang Zheng, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, who competed for the 2013 FIFA Golden Ball Award, are arranged together, the most likely to be elected and the tallest Tang Zheng sits in the middle, and his girlfriend Zhao Lina sits on the right hand.

Immediately to the right of Zhao Lina is Messi's girlfriend Antonella, and then Messi.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng are Real Madrid teammates, so he sits on Tang Zheng's left hand side, and Elena sits on Cristiano Ronaldo's left hand side.

Of course, they all sit in the first row closest to the awards center, and the position is very eye-catching.

The host of FIFA's annual gift is different from usual, except that the Brazilian female host Lima is professional, and his other partner Ruud Gullit, who is a former world football superstar, is not professional.

After a brief introduction, everyone's focus is on the huge LCD screen in the center.

As usual, the first to be played were the player portraits of the Puskas Award finalists, Ibrahimovic, Nemanja Matic and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Immediately afterwards, there was a replay of three wonderful goals.

Ibrahimovic's goal came in a friendly against England for the Swedish national team, and he cleared the ball from 33 yards out in the face of Joe Hart's striking header.

Nemanja Matic's goal was a header from Benfica's team-mate against Porto in the league, and it was quite like Zinedine Zidane's 2001-2002 Champions League final.

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal came from the 10th round of the 2013-2014 La Liga season away to Barcelona, and he and Tang Zheng hit a dazzling back-to-back goal near the penalty area, which was a rare miracle goal in world football.

The live director was very interesting, he first gave Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo a close-up, the two in the camera smiled heartily, covered their mouths and said something, and then gave the camera to the Barcelona players who came to the scene.

Pique, in particular, has a lot of expression.

However, the Puskas Prize was not awarded immediately, but was given time for the judges to vote on the spot.

Then, under the introduction of the host, he entered the FIFA Best Eleven of the Year, that is, the best team.

Perhaps the exposure of La Liga in recent years has been too high, so that the number of finalists beats other leagues in seconds, and Tang Zheng, who has newly joined Real Madrid, occupies six positions.

The goalkeeper is Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, the four defenders are Lahm, Ramos, Hummers and Piszczek, midfielders Xavi, Iniesta and Tang Zheng, and forwards Cristiano Ronaldo, Lewandowski and Messi.

Although the best team is controversial, there is not much opposition, after all, in terms of individual strength, positional role and performance throughout 2013.

The next award ceremony was the FIFA President's Special Award, which was won by former IOC President Rogge, and this award was complained by many commentators on the spot, believing that the award was given to non-football personnel or that the honor was an attempt to repair the relationship with the IOC.

Immediately, the Women's Coach of the Year and Men's Coach of the Year were awarded, and the German women's football coach Sylvia Neder was elected.

The three nominees for Men's Coach of the Year are Alex Ferguson, who retired in the summer of 2013, Jose Mourinho, a former Real Madrid manager and now Chelsea manager, and Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp.

Judging from the coaching results, it is Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp, who won six trophies in 2013, full of gold, but the newly retired Ferguson has made great contributions to world football, and winning a coach of the year at the end of this coaching career is somewhat a reward for Ferguson.

But in the end, the winner announced by Hodgson is still Dortmund coach Klopp, after all, the judges are based on the results, Ferguson only led Manchester United to the league championship in the 2012-2013 season, the gold content is there, but the gap with Klopp is still relatively obvious.

The awards are still in full swing, and the Afghan Football Federation won the Fair Play Award.

At this time, the annual awards ceremony also came to a tense moment.

Guest host Gullitt announced that the scores for the 2013 Puskas Awards have come out.

In the end, Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng teamed up to score Barcelona goals in the 2013-2014 season to become the Puskas Award, which is the best goal of the year.

When the result appeared, Cristiano Ronaldo got up from his seat and hugged Tang Zheng next to him.

In fact, Cristiano Ronaldo knew in his heart that Tang Zheng should be more of an electee, because his passing was too comfortable, and his own goal was more like a windfall.

In the middle of the stage at the Opera House, Cristiano Ronaldo gave a special thanks to Tang Zheng: "I have a special thank you for, he is not your imaginary girlfriend, but my new teammate Don, having his game can make me focus more on goals, thank you!"

Speaking of this, he paused, and his voice changed: "But I won't let you in the next Golden Globe Awards, because I have that strength!"

The two people in the broadcast camera looked at each other and smiled, which made many commentators on the scene cry and laugh, especially remembering that there was a huge conflict between the two at the beginning of the season, and there were physical conflicts on the training ground, and they didn't even pass the ball to each other during the game.
