Now in its 18th year, the FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony was launched in 1991 and this year's FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony has been fine-tuned, increasing the number of finalists for the Miss World Footballer award from three to five for the first time.

The five candidates announced by FIFA in December were: Chelsea's Ielo (China), Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal), AC Milan's Kaka (Brazil), Liverpool's Fernando Torres (Spain) and Barcelona's Lionel Messi (Argentina)

Although the annual FIFA Awards Ceremony takes place at 8 o'clock local time in Switzerland, that is, at 3 o'clock in the morning Beijing time, the fans in China are still enthusiastic, and they want to witness the birth of a new record!!

Ronaldo in 1996 and 1997, and Ronaldinho in 2004 and 2005, all won the honor of World Footballer of the Year in succession.

However, Iello won the World Footballer of the Year award in 2006 and 2007.

Throughout 2008, Iello has made a significant contribution to leading Chelsea to all the trophies they can win except for the Community Shield in 2008 when they missed out on the Olympics, and helping Chelsea to the Club World Cup title in Yokohama at the end of last year.

This is Chelsea's seventh title of the year, and it is unique in the whole world of football!

Therefore, Iello will most likely become the first active player to win the World Footballer of the Year award for three consecutive years since FIFA founded the World Footballer of the Year, and at the same time, the 23-year-old may also be the youngest World Footballer of the Year award for three consecutive years!

A qiē and a qiē all increase the enthusiasm of Chinese fans.

Especially female fans from China.

Among the top five candidates for this year's World Footballer of the Year, in addition to Messi, who cannot reach the explosive appearance of the rich and handsome, such as Iro, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Torres are rare handsome guys in world football, and it is a grand event that should not be missed for these female fans who like male stars with good looks.

Of course, the reason for attracting the attention of many Chinese fans is CCTV's bombardment report in the past half month, so that everyone who watches CCAV-5 knows that at 3 o'clock in the morning on January 13, 2009, a Chinese will set a new world football record.

These days, the Chinese media is one of the most active and happy in the world, from London to Zurich, just to hear all kinds of voices in support of Ielloh.

However, the news did not disappoint them, basically every European national team coach interviewed was very supportive of Elo, and even the head coach of the Spanish national team, Bosque, who had just won the European Championship, publicly stated that he voted for Elo, which made them excited.

Secondly, there is the English media.

The Premier League can now be said to be the best league in the world, with at least two teams in the last four seasons of the Champions League semi-finals, and three Premier League teams in the Champions League semi-finals last year, creating a new history of the Champions League, and the final between Manchester United and Chelsea has also become the history of the Premier League!

This, combined with the fact that three of the finalists are from the Premier League, is enough to make the British media proud.

Iello and Cristiano Ronaldo are currently the two most vocal players in the world Footballer of the Year, with Arlo first and Cristiano Ronaldo second, if nothing else.

It's totally an endorsement of the Premier League!

At around 7:30 p.m. local time in Switzerland, Iello accompanied the team's head coach Jose Mourinho, captain John Terry and CEO Kenyon to the Zurich Opera House, the venue of the FIFA annual awards ceremony.

Suddenly, reporters from all over the world who were waiting at the entrance of the opera house picked up their cameras.

Wearing a suit carefully designed by Versace, coupled with a resolute face with clear water chestnuts, the whole person is extremely handsome and mighty.

That's right! Iroh is the most critical person this group of reporters are waiting for!!

None of the reporters who came to the scene did not understand, unless FIFA made some shady scenes, then Elo's third World Footballer of the Year will have nowhere to escape!

To be able to interview Iroh before the awards ceremony would be exclusive news!

There will be no problems with promotions and salary increases, winning and marrying Bai Fumei, and reaching the pinnacle of life.

But only if it ...... Able to interview Iroh.

Iro, who walked the red carpet with the head coach into the opera house, did not accept any media interviews, but just smiled and waved all the way to enter the inner hall.

Iroh has been here for the third year in a row, and it will probably be the third year in a row that he has preached here, and he is very happy.

At the corner of the inner hall, he saw Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka chatting, so he turned around to say hello to manager Jose Mourinho, captain John Terry and CEO Kenyon.

There is no doubt that three of the five candidates met and chatted together, which naturally attracted a burst of media attention into the infield, and the focus has always been on this place, plus the three are rare handsome guys in world football, and the photos taken can be put on websites or newspapers without any retouching.

This shows the handsome Cheng dù of the three.

It didn't take long for Spanish golden boy Torres to walk in with head coach Rafael Benitez.

The three handsome guys have become the four handsome guys.

The media attracted will become more ......

If the live director had been showing the camera here, the TV audience would have thought it was the annual Oscar ceremony.

The most talked-about part of the FIFA annual awards ceremony is, of course, the World Footballer of the Year, so it will be revealed at the end.

The first to be announced was the Most Progressive Award, which was awarded to Palestine in the midst of civil war, along with the Fair Play Award to Turkey and Armenia, and the Special Chair Award to the U.S. Women's Soccer Team.

Since 2008 is a plural year, not a year for the World Junior Championships, there are no prizes for the World Junior Championships and the World Junior Championships.

The award was presented before the World Footballer of the Year award, which was won by Brazilian star Marta, and for the third year in a row, she is a well-deserved leader in women's football in the world today.

Immediately, it was finally the turn of the finale - the award ceremony of the World Footballer.

All eyes were on the male and female presenters, and after their brief introductions, the big screen took turns broadcasting highlights of the five candidates.

Both the guests and the fans sitting in front of the TV began to feel nervous, especially those from China.

Shen Fangjian, a CCTV commentator who came to the scene, said nervously: "Now that the highlights have been broadcast, what will appear is the presenter of this year's World Footballer of the Year, which means that the final winner of the World Footballer will appear, will it be Iro?" ”

This year's World Footballer of the Year award is Pelé.

Duan Xuan, who was far away in the Beijing studio, made a joke after seeing Pele: "Pele is a legendary star in the last century, leading the Brazilian national team to win three World Cup championships, do you expect that my country's player Iello will win the World Footballer for the third time in a row?" ”

Hearing Duan Xuan's words, the Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV or in front of the computer felt a sense of relief, and the previous tension disappeared a lot.

At the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Iro, Torres and Kaka, who were sitting in the first row, were all inexplicably nervous.

The on-site director also gave the camera here very interestingly.

From Cristiano Ronaldo, who sat on the far left, to Kaka, who sat on the far right, it is worth mentioning that he stayed on Aelo's body for an extra second.

The male host handed the next stage to Bailey without a word, because he was standing at the podium with a sealed envelope in his hand.

Inside is the card of the upcoming World Footballer of the Year winner.

Although Iroh has been awarded the World Footballer of the Year for two consecutive years, and this year is the favorite, he still feels sincerely nervous, knowing that winning the World Footballer of the Year for three consecutive years will be a record in world football, so to speak...... A record that is difficult to replicate!

Thinking of this, Iroh swallowed and focused on Bailey's body.

By this time, Bailey had finished all his nonsense and opened the sealed envelope.

The narrators in the live studio all became nervous with the background music of the scene at this moment, and said in unison: "Suspense is about to ......"

Pele lowered his head, carefully pulled out the card with the name of the World Footballer of the Year winner in the envelope, glanced at it, and then looked up meaningfully at where the five candidates were sitting.

"Who will be the World Footballer of the Year 2008?" The male host stood aside and said excitedly.

The director once again gave the camera back to Bailey.

Everyone's attention also returned to Bailey's side with the camera.

But what everyone didn't expect was that he actually sold Guan Zi at this time, put the card with his name on it back on the podium, and then told a small story in a suspenseful tone: "I believe everyone present had guessed before the award ceremony, will this year be Ai's third World Footballer of the Year?" Over the past year, he has led Chelsea to all the trophies they can win, and it was perfect! But ......"

Countless people were taken aback by Bailey's tone, could it be that there was a change?

So there was a burst of exclamations at the scene.

Iroh's heart is hanging in his throat, shouldn't it be hanging?

The other four candidates were in ecstasy, which ...... Tone, doesn't it mean that Iroh has no hope?

Pelé was very pleased with the reaction on the spot, smiled, and continued: "Even if there was no national team result in the 2008 tournament year, he was still-"

Hearing this, the four candidates fell again like a roller coaster climbing to the top......

"- Congratulations! Winner of the 2008 World Footballer of the Year !! ”
