As in previous years, the first team to be awarded was the best team selected by the World Professional Players Union, which was announced early and had no suspense, and the award presenters were Zidane and Ballack.

The goalkeeper is Manuel Neuer, the backline is Lahm, Ramos, Thiago Silva and Alves, the midfield three are Franck Franck Ribery, Xavi and Andres Iniesta, and the forward line is Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Messi.

Since the best team has long been announced, the winners took the stage to receive their awards, and after some brief speeches one after another, they began to move on to the next award, the FIFA President's Award.

Blatter presented the award to former IOC President Rogge, who took the stage to wish success for this year's two major sporting events, the Winter Olympics and the World Cup in Brazil.

After Rogge, there is a special part of this year's FIFA Awards Convention, and that is the promotion of the World Cup in Brazil.

Ronaldo and Neymar took the stage to build momentum for the World Cup in Brazil as representatives of Brazilian stars, and both hoped that Brazil could do well in the World Cup on home soil, and the best thing was to win the championship.

FIFA also followed with a video paying tribute to Portuguese star Black Panther Eusebio, who passed away last week.

The best women's coach went to Neder, the head coach of the German women's national team, the best men's coach went to Barcelona's head coach Vilanova, the fair play award went to the Afghan Football Federation, and the Puskas award went to Ibrahimovic.

This year, FIFA has also added a new award, called the FIFA Honorary Ballon d'Or, but unlike other permanent awards, this award is dedicated to Pele.

When Blatter introduced Pele, he described him as the most dazzling and influential legend in the history of football, and no one has been able to inspire generations of footballers to grow and improve like him.

In football, Pele is the eternal king.

Pele himself was very excited, he said that he had never played in Europe, so he had never won the Ballon d'Or, which was the regret of his life, but now, with this honorary Ballon d'Or, his trophy room is perfect.

This also confirms one thing, that is, every top superstar has their own trophy room, and at the height of their profession, everyone is striving for more and higher honors to make their trophy room more perfect.

Yang Yang sat under the stage, looking at the emotional Bailey on the stage, he suddenly felt that this was his pursuit.

The reason why he has carefully planned private museums for many years is to give himself a pursuit, so that he can maintain this hunger, to be able to strive for more honors and championships, and then to enrich his private museum collections.

He hopes that many years from now, people will always remember him.

The Miss World Soccer was then presented to veteran German goalkeeper Angeler, who saved two penalties in last year's UEFA Women's Championship final to help Germany win the title and be voted Miss European Soccer for the second time.

…………

…………

Perhaps it was deliberately arranged by the organizers, but Yang Yang and Messi still sat next to each other.

But because Yang Yang didn't bring a female companion this year, there was only Messi's girlfriend Antonella between the two.

Anyone with a heart can easily see that the two of them are looking at each other from time to time, obviously paying attention to each other's expressions.

Messi is wearing a bright red suit tonight, which looks eye-catching, but it is a little too bright, while Yang Yang is the same black suit and white shirt as always, still taking the elegant route.

What is different from previous years is that this year's award ceremony did not invite three more candidates to the stage.

The FIFA Ballon d'Or award was presented to Pele, who had just won the honorary Ballon d'Or, and was accompanied by FIFA President Seppat and UEFA President Michel Platini.

"I always feel that they are a little bit deliberately trying to praise Messi." Ibrahimovic poked his head out of the back row and whispered in Yang Yang's ear.

He was talking about the lineup of award presenters.

The president of FIFA and UEFA, plus the king of the ball Pele, such a lineup of award presenters is really strong.

Perhaps, they are trying to reduce some of the controversy.

Yang Yang thought to himself, but when he looked at Messi, he found that the Argentine was still very nervous and apprehensive.

Now it is said that Messi's victory is a sure thing, but he is still very nervous, after all, no one knows who the final winner will be before that moment.

Especially before the Spanish TV broke the news that FIFA's preliminary statistics of voting results, Yang Yang is more than Messi, which makes people even more worried, although FIFA postponed the date, and called for more people to participate in the voting and re-election, but what the final result is, who knows?

As for saying that FIFA wants to operate in the dark, it is not impossible, but this year's Blatter remarks pushed the Ballon d'Or to the forefront, and the media and fans all over the world are staring at it.

For example, the media only needs to count the votes of those who participated in the polls to get a rough idea of the result.

It can be said that in full view, even if FIFA wants to help, it must be cautious, and the action must not be too big, such as delaying the voting deadline before, and at the same time hinting at the re-election of Messi, etc., which is roughly the limit.

Actually, sometimes when you think about it, it's also Blatter's fault for this matter.

If it weren't for his big mouth and causing so many turmoil, it is estimated that public opinion would not have been so closely watched.

Messi stayed out of the whole thing, but he really wanted a Ballon d'Or, and he wanted it so much, he was going crazy.

Not only him, but Cristiano Ronaldo also wanted to even transfer to Barcelona for the Ballon d'Or.

Thinking of this, Messi simply closed his eyes, leaned back, closed his eyes and recuperated, and listened only with his ears.

……

It is impossible to say that Yang Yang's mood is not nervous.

Although he could accept defeat, he had to admit that he really wanted to.

This is a supreme honor, who wants not to?

The six Ballon d'Or awards in the past have at most made him more calm, able to look at this competition with a better face, and not be so nervous that he doesn't dare to watch it like Messi.

On stage, Blatter, Platini and Pele spent a lot of effort and saliva telling the performances of Yang Yang, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the past year, which they believe are the three strongest superstars in world football today.

Platini also lamented Ribery as arguing that the French star's role was underrated, otherwise he should have finished in the top three.

In his speculation, Pele said that he was more optimistic about Messi because Barcelona won the Champions League.

There are no major competitions in odd-numbered years, although there is a Confederations Cup in 2013, but the influence is not great, so the weight of the Champions League is very heavy, and after Messi helped Barcelona win the Champions League, it can be said that he is already the favorite for the Golden Ball.

Blatter and Platini did not support or disagree with Pele's claims, but simply commented on the three superstars in the most unbiased way possible, and then asked Pele to open the golden envelope.

At this time, everyone in the audience, including all the viewers watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, probably paid attention to the envelope in Pele's hand, which was the list of winners of this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or.

Bailey, who was also accustomed to seeing big scenes, was not flustered, opened the envelope in an orderly manner, took out a beautiful paper card from it, put it in front of him, squinted for a moment, and then turned back to look at Blatter and Platini.

The two most powerful bigwigs in world football both maintained a graceful smile at this time and nodded to Pele in unison.

The Brazilian king turned his head, turned into the microphone, and announced loudly: "I now solemnly announce that the player who won the 2013 FIFA Ballon d'Or is ......"

Everyone in the audience almost held their breath, including Messi, Antonella and Yang Yang, all of whom looked intently at Pele on the stage, waiting for him to pronounce his last name.

Many people think it will be Leo Messi, but some people still think that it should be Yang Yang.

So who is it?

Bailey didn't let the suspense linger for too long, and after a pause, he immediately shouted loudly: "Yang Yang!! ”

Yang Yang!!!

As soon as this voice was shouted, the audience suddenly became silent.

Yang Yang himself was stunned, and Messi was even more stunned.

How is this possible?

How could it be Yang Yang?

Why Yang Yang?

At the previous moment, most people thought that it would be Messi, although there were also people who supported Yang Yang, but many of them probably did not have hope, because this year from all aspects of public opinion and publicity, Messi is fully superior.

Real Madrid and Barcelona, the two supergiants, have invested huge resources in the two superstars, actively building momentum and publicity for them, and Messi is considered to be a sure winner.

On the one hand, it is because of the Champions League, and on the other hand, because FIFA does not want Yang Yang to win another award.

But who would have thought that the final winner was Yang Yang!

What's going on?

Didn't you say before that FIFA didn't want to see Yang Yang win another award?

Why is the award suddenly given to Yang Yang again?

Is there something going on in here that outsiders don't know about?

Yang Yang didn't know this, and his heart was full of doubts like everyone else, but he was very excited, because he had lost hope, and even he began to think about how to congratulate Messi when he won the award.

But suddenly, he won the award, which made him a little confused.

He stood up and looked around with some blankness.

His wife, who had been by his side all the time, did not come tonight, so he approached Ibrahimovic and Ramos, and took the initiative to hug him, and then hugged Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane, as well as Real Madrid president Florentino.

When he returned to the front row, Messi also reacted, stood up with Antonella, hugged Yang Yang, and celebrated his award.

It just sounded like Messi's tone was somewhat sour.

Then, Yang Yang walked quickly onto the podium.

It was also at this time that the ballots for this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or were played on the big screen of the podium, and the truth was revealed.
