The host of today's FIFA annual awards gala is Sky Sports beauty anchor Kate. Abdo and the famous Swiss singer-songwriter Bastien. Baker.

Kate. Born in Manchester, Abudo is a Sky Sports anchor, Kate is not only a beautiful but talented woman, fluent in four Chinese languages (German, French and Spanish), studied journalism in Malaga, Spain, worked in Paris and Munich, and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in European Languages.

Kate is a well-known presenter in international football, having interviewed many of the world's biggest players and coaches, and hosted the Europa League draw in August 2013. FIFA also took a fancy to her professional support and hosting level, and finally chose Kate to be the host of the Ballon d'Or ceremony.

Except for Kate. Abdo, the famous singer-songwriter Bastien Beck from Switzerland, will form his hosting partner. At last year's Ballon d'Or ceremony, the two hosts were football legend Ruud Gullit and Brazilian supermodel Lima.

Abdo became one of the most shining women in the audience, in addition to her trademark sweet smile, she also has blonde hair, and her "golden armor" style evening dress is also very much in line with the theme of today's Golden Globes.

The camera captures the scene at Kate. When Abdo appeared, Ronaldo's eyes lit up.

……

After the two hosts took the stage, the live video first reviewed the development and current situation of FIFA men's and women's football in the past year, focusing on the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Subsequently, in the warm applause, FIFA President Blatter and UEFA President Platini took the stage to deliver speeches.

The two gentlemen did not hide the tension between the two men, and there was no verbal exchange, only a polite greeting with a cold attitude on the surface.

The first award was the FIFA President's Award.

The FIFA President's Award was created in 2001 to recognise individuals or groups who have made outstanding contributions to the popularization of football. Blatter announced that 90-year-old Hiroshi Kagawa, a football reporter for Japan's Kyoto Evening News, won the award.

In 1979, Blatter was a member of the Organizing Committee of the World Youth Championships in Japan, and at that time, Hiroshi Kagawa interviewed Blatter and talked about this old friend, Blatter was also embarrassed and admired.

Hiroshi Kagawa is from the Kyoto Evening News, and he is the oldest journalist covering the World Cup in Brazil. When the old man was on crutches and trembling to pick up the trophy, everyone in the audience applauded movingly.

Jiang Chenxi is also applauding, he has no good impression of the country of Japan, but the concentration and dedication of the Japanese when doing some things make you have to admire.

……

Subsequently, the Fair Play Award was awarded, and the winners were the volunteers of the FIFA World Cup in Brazil, and the FIFA staff who received the award on behalf of the volunteers also received warm applause from the audience.

After that, the award for the best goal (Puskas Award) was presented to Real Madrid's Colombian star James Murphy. Rodriguez.

Although on the Internet, fans think that Jiang Chenxi's stunning goal in the Champions League final is more beautiful, but after all, the Champions League is a UEFA affair, and this year is a World Cup year, so Rodriguez's award is actually the meaning of the question.

Subsequently, the award for the best women's football coach was presented to the men's coach of the Wolfsburg women's football team, Kellermann.

This award was followed by the announcement of the results of the 2014 Miss FIFA World Football, the first highlight of this year's FIFA Annual Awards.

VfL Wolfsburg won the UEFA Women's Champions League and the German league last year, so in 2014, when the women's team was not a major year, the 26-year-old "Wolfsburg" captain and German international Kessler won the Miss World Football, beating Juan Mata and Wambach.

In her speech, Miss World Footballer dedicated the award to Maranda, a male footballer from Wolfsburg who had just passed away in a car accident. Last Saturday local time in Germany, Wolfsburg's 20-year-old young player Maranda was killed on the spot in a car accident on the way to the airport.

Due to Maranda's car accident, the Wolfsburg team canceled their flight to the winter training camp in South Africa that day and held a mourning ceremony for Maranda on Sunday. Zhang Xizhe, a Chinese player who joined Wolfsburg at the end of last year, also mourned his new teammates.

There was also applause again at the scene, which was a tribute to the deceased and support for the Wolfsburg women's football team.

……

After the Miss World Football awards, it was the FIFA Men's Head Coach of the Year award.

The award went to the head coach of the German national team, Loew.

The personable Loew took the stage to accept the award, and the scene once again burst into warm applause, the German coach led the German team to the top of the world in the World Cup in Brazil, which was Loew's most energetic moment.

Jiang Chenxi watched Loew from the audience, although the handsome old German guy was personable, but Jiang Chenxi would think of the special habits of the head coach he saw on TV for no reason......

Loew was in high spirits and in a good mood, and expressed his feelings on the stage.

At this time, none of the three World Footballer of the Year candidates had the heart to listen to Loew's speech, and they were all anxiously waiting for the announcement of the Footballer of the Year selection.

Previously, FIFA would notify the winners in advance, 'Congratulations, you are this year's World Footballer of the Year, please get ready', however, in view of the fact that this will make the stars who did not win the award feel bad, and even excuse themselves to be absent from the award ceremony, so now FIFA no longer notifies the winners in advance, so neither Jiang Chenxi nor Ronaldo nor Messi knows whether they will win the award.

Moreover, all three of them performed very well last year and may win awards, Jiang Chenxi is the best on the report card, however, Ronaldo and Messi have greater influence and fame, so the result is really hard to say.

……

Ramos and Ronaldo sat together, Ramos whispered to Ronaldo: "There is no doubt that it must be you, you are the strongest in the world!" ”

Ronaldo smiled and nodded, "I'm the best, I know." ”

This is Cristiano Ronaldo, maybe some people will say that he is arrogant and doesn't like this man, but he does think so, he thinks he is the best, and he holds himself to such a standard.

"The English media also said that Jiang would win the award, and he was far worse than you." James. Rodriguez said.

"Actually, Jiang is also very good, but a little worse than me." Ronaldo said.

……

On the other side, Iniesta whispered to Messi, "I think you have a good chance, Leao." ”

Messi shook his head slightly, "I also hope it is me, but Jiang's performance is better." ”

"Why can't it be Cristiano Ronaldo?" Girlfriend Antonella asked, today Messi is wearing a red suit, which is very gorgeous, and Messi's girlfriend is wearing a deep V dress, showing off her career line, and both of them look very fashionable.

"How could that guy?" Messi flattened his mouth, "He's not as good as me." ”

Antonella pursed his lips and couldn't hold back his laughter, his boyfriend and Ronaldo seem to be born to deal with each other, of course, it is not that they are enemies, they just don't like each other, and they always have to compete, of course, this antagonistic relationship only lasts on the field and competing for honors, and the off-field relationship is not so tense.

At the same time, Antonella was surprised that Jiang Chenxi was able to become friends with Messi and Ronaldo at the same time, she didn't know what Ronaldo's attitude was, Antonella knew that her boyfriend really admired Jiang Chenxi, and often praised Jiang Chenxi's rapid progress and outstanding performance.

At this time, Blatter took the stage again, and the scene was quiet, and everyone knew that the most important award was about to be announced.
