No. 928: Winning the Golden Globe Award for a second consecutive year!
While the whole world is talking about Cristiano Ronaldo's departure from Real Madrid, FIFA's annual gala is being prepared intensely.
Journalists from all over the world and senior leaders of football associations on all continents and national football associations rushed to Zurich, Switzerland, where FIFA headquarters is located.
A number of Real Madrid stars and Jose Mourinho also rushed to Zurich.
As soon as they stepped off the plane, they were surrounded by reporters.
The reporters gathered around Mourinho asked about the rumors about Ronaldo's transfer.
"Cristiano never told me he was leaving Real Madrid, he was the heart of Real Madrid's attack, that's for sure!'
Mourinho said to the reporter next to him: "I don't know where the media got the information, I think this kind of report is untrue! ”
Of course, the reporters wanted to interview Ronaldo himself, but he did not give the reporter a chance and left with his teammates.
Chen Fan also did not give interviews to the media, and before leaving Madrid, Mourinho gave them a gag order, and Chen Fan did not need to cause trouble for Real Madrid at such a time.
More importantly, he doesn't know how to answer the rumours about Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer.
This was a great disappointment for journalists.
At 7 p.m. on the 10th, the Zurich Opera House will be covered with a red carpet, where the awards ceremony will take place tonight.
The reporters set up long guns and short cannons outside the cordon, facing the famous coaches and stars who came here one after another.
When the Barcelona stars appeared on the red carpet, the journalists were in an uproar and they issued a call to Messi.
But Messi did not accept their call, waved politely at them and walked into the hall with his teammates.
Journalists could only pin their hopes on the Real Madrid stars, but once again they were disappointed.
After Chen Fan entered the hall, he came to the place where the Arsenal stars and Arsene Wenger gathered and hugged them one by one.
Arsenal's performance in the first half of this season was not as eye-catching as the previous two seasons, and with the rise of local giants Manchester City, Arsenal finished third in the table at the half-time.
In front of them are the Manchester City duo.
At eight o'clock, the awards ceremony started on time, and the emcee for today's awards ceremony was the famous star Ruud Gullit and the host Murray.
After his opening remarks, Gullit said: "In the past year, there have been a lot of classic games in world football, and many players have performed perfectly in the game, but who is the best player in the position? ”
"Now Mr. Bailey will reveal the 2011 Team of the Year!"
In the applause, the football king Pele came to the stage and announced the best lineup: "Casillas, Alves, Pique, Ramos, Vidic, Iniesta, Xavi, Cesc Fabregas, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Chen!" ”
The eleven players came to the stage with applause and accepted Pele's award.
Subsequently, FIFA President Sepp Blatter took the stage to deliver a speech, and he finally announced that Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson had won the 2011 FIFA President's Award!
Sir Alex Ferguson's 25th year in charge of Manchester United has earned such an accolade, and he has been highly regarded by Blatter. In his acceptance speech, Ferguson also thanked Manchester United for their support.
This was followed by the 2011 FIFA Women's Head Coach of the Year award.
In the end, the head coach of the Japanese women's football team, Norio Sasaki, won the award.
In the 2011 Women's World Cup, Norio Sasaki led the Japanese women's football team to the championship, which eventually made him the best coach of the year in the world women's football team.
After the award of the best women's football manager, the best men's manager will be announced, and Arsene Wenger, who is the most vocal, won the award.
In the past year, Arsene Wenger led Arsenal to win the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and Club World Cup, achieving an unprecedented five-time title in the club's history!
Next up was the award for the best goal, which Chen Fan won for the second time with that long-distance run in the Spanish national derby.
After the award for the best goal was announced, the famous British singer James Blunt took the stage to sing "Stay the night", which also brought the atmosphere to a climax.
The ceremony resumed after a short break.
Blatter took the stage, accompanied by Latin diva Shakira, to announce the winner of the 2011 FIFA Women's Player of the Year award.
"Nozomi Sawawa, Japan!"
Sawaho defeated Brazilian soccer superstar Marta and U.S. women's soccer player Wambach.
In the 2011 Women's World Cup, Nozomi Sawaho led the Japanese women's football team to the championship, which also earned her the award.
When Sawa Suiki stepped down, the atmosphere at the scene began to heat up, and the Golden Globe Awards were about to be announced!
Gullit jokingly said, "I know you can't wait to see the final result, and I'm just like everyone else!" ”
The audience burst into good-natured laughter.
"There's a Brazilian superstar 'Alien' Ronaldo!"
Host Murray said loudly.
In the applause of the audience, the blessed Ronaldo slowly walked onto the stage.
Murray jokingly asked Ronaldo: "Which of the three candidates do you think is the most likely to win this year's Ballon d'Or?" ”
Ronaldo was slightly stunned, and then said: "All three of them are the best strikers in world football today, and it is expected who wins the award." ”
Whistles sounded from the audience, and they applauded Ronaldo's wit.
Gullit said with a smile: "Before the Ballon d'Or is announced, please take a look at the highlights of the goals of these four footballers!" ”
The so-called four people are plus Ronaldo, which is to show respect to him.
First up was Ronaldo's goal highlights, followed by Cristiano Ronaldo's brilliant goal in 2011, followed by Messi's 2011 goal highlights.
The last thing to put is Chen Fan's goal highlights.
The final scene is the long-distance run of the Spanish national derby.
Someone analyzed afterwards that in fact, the order of the Ballon d'Or can already be seen from the goal highlights.
After the goal highlights were played, Ronaldo revealed the Ballon d'Or!
"Chen, Real Madrid!"
"Second place, Messi, Barcelona!"
"Third place, Cristiano Ronaldo!"
The applause at the scene was thunderous!
Chen Fan stood up, Ronaldo next to him gave him a big hug, and then Messi also gave him a hug.
Chen Fan took the stage for the third time, and behind him were Messi and Ronaldo.
After Chen Fan came to the stage, he received the glittering Golden Globe Award from Ronaldo!
The two then hugged tightly.
"You're my idol!"
Chen Fan exhaled a long breath and said in Ronaldo's ear.
"Thank you!"
Ronaldo patted him on the back and said, "The most important thing is to maintain a healthy body. ”
Ronaldo suffered several serious injuries during his career and almost ended his career early.
Chen Fan nodded and said, "Thank you!" I'll try to stay healthy! ”
When the three of them raised the trophy, the audience collectively stood up and thundered applause, Chen Fan won the Golden Globe Award undisputedly!
