The Ballon d'Or is definitely an annual event in the football world, and there are no important events in European football during this time, so everyone's focus is on all kinds of speculation and gossip about the Ballon d'Or in addition to the operation of the winter transfer window of the giants.

Shi Hao's performance last season was unquestionable, and he is definitely a strong candidate for the Ballon d'Or.

But his opponents are also very strong, and the Mero era has been going on for some time, and they have monopolized the award for seven years, winning four and three Ballon d'Or awards respectively.

And these two superstars also had a dominant performance last season, and it will not be so easy to break their monopoly on the Ballon d'Or.

Messi helped Barcelona win two titles last season – La Liga and the Copa del Rey.

In terms of the number of titles, he is not as good as Shi Hao, who helped Chelsea win the treble, and even less than Ibrahimovic, who helped Paris Saint-Germain win the five-time crown, which won the French First Division, the French Cup, the French League Cup, the Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup.

But Messi's individual performance was equally outstanding. He is the second-highest scorer in the Champions League (10 goals) and second in the assists list (6 assists), behind Shi Hao. He is the second scorer in La Liga (43 goals) and the top assists list (18 assists). There are also national team honours, having led Argentina to the final of the Copa America – although not to do so. At present, he, like Shi Hao, is also recovering from injuries.

Cristiano Ronaldo's performance was also very dazzling. He made 52 appearances for Real Madrid last year, scoring 54 goals and providing 17 assists. Last season, he won the top scorer in La Liga, setting a personal La Liga season scoring record (48 goals) and winning the European Golden Boot four times, and tied with Messi, Jun Yingzhi and Neymar as the second scorer in the Champions League.

This season, he became Real Madrid's all-time leading scorer, and he is the second person to reach double figures in a single Champions League group stage after Shi Hao, and leads the Champions League scorers list this season with 11 goals and 88 goals in the Champions League.

There are even people who complain about the unfair selection of the Ballon d'Or, believing that Neymar also has the strength and performance to enter the final three players of the Ballon d'Or.

Neymar has matured in Barcelona last year, contributing 41 goals and 16 assists in 53 appearances, and is the joint-second scorer in the 2014-15 Champions League with Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Jun Yingzhi. In the 2015-2016 new season, Neymar performed brilliantly during Messi's injury, and is currently tied with Cristiano Ronaldo as the top scorer in La Liga with 15 goals.

Shi Hao just wants to compete with such a group of monsters for the Golden Globe Award. Compared to these monsters, his 46 appearances, 59 goals and 32 assists in the 2014-2015 season are not so dazzling.

However, perhaps in the eyes of others, he is the biggest monster. After all, he's only 22 years old.

In the run-up to the Ballon d'Or, far east away from European football, something important happened.

After losing Shi Hao and Jun Yingzhi, the Chinese team defeated Bhutan 12-0 at home and drew 0:0 away by the weak Hong Kong team in the next two Asian preliminary round of 40 games, basically losing the hope of qualifying for the top spot in the group, and whether it can enter the top 12 depends on the face of others.

Such a result naturally makes the fans, the media, and the Football Association uncomfortable. As a result, Peilan, who had just been in the position of coach of the Chinese national team for more than a year, was ousted from the position by the Chinese Football Association, and former international player Gao Hongbo took office, took over the whip in Peilan's hands, and coached the Chinese team to play in the remaining top 40 games.

At the press conference at the beginning of his tenure, he said that he would lead the Chinese team to the top 12 in Shi Hao's absence, and strive to lead the Chinese team to the World Cup finals for the second time after Shi Hao's return.

At the same time, he also announced that he will be re-called up immediately after Jun Yingzhi's suspension ends, and there will be no further internal punishment for his irrational behavior in the match against Qatar. Fans will be able to see Jun Yingzhi in China's home game against Qatar on March 29.

And Shi Hao is most concerned about Chelsea's performance.

Entering 2016, Chelsea finally got a big win as they beat Crystal Palace 3-0 away.

And in the transfer market, Chelsea did not make a big purchase, but did transfer a big money! They brought in Pato on loan from Corinthians, but sold Ramirez and Oscar to the Chinese Super League! These two transfers brought Chelsea 90 million euros!

Shi Hao only felt disappointed. Chelsea appear to have given up on the season altogether.

He also felt incredulous that Ramirez and Oscar were willing to go to the Chinese Super League. Although they can get a high salary, I heard that Oscar can have a weekly salary of 500,000 euros, which is twice as much as he received at Chelsea, but he is still so young...... And Ramirez, Shi Hao has always felt that he is one of the best midfielders in Europe, and he is also very young and has a lot of room to develop.

Maybe they're all disappointed in Chelsea.

From a business perspective, Chelsea did make two good deals. But this has also led to a lot less competitiveness for them. Shi Hao felt that after he returned from injury, he had to think about his next choice.

On January 9, Shi Hao and Liu Xiyu set off for Switzerland together and stayed at the Hyatt Hotel. They plan to spend a few days in Switzerland before attending the Golden Globes ceremony in Zurich on the evening of January 11.

In Switzerland, when he was slowly shopping with Liu Xiyu on crutches, Shi Hao was distracted from time to time. With the Golden Globes just around the corner, he became more and more nervous, and even felt breathless.

In fact, at this time, the voting results have already come out. Since October 20 last year, FIFA announced the 23-member preliminary list, the head coaches and captains of the national teams, and the designated media reporters of "French football" have already completed the voting.

When the final list of 3 candidates was announced, the votes had already been counted. Some national team coaches and captains, and media reporters have even revealed who they voted for.

For example, the head coaches of the Chinese national team, Gao Hongbo and Zheng Zhi, both made it clear that their first votes were given to Shi Hao.

Ronaldo has already stated in an interview with the media that he will not attend this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony, probably because he feels that he has no drama this year and does not want to join in the fun.

Judging from the current information disclosed by various media, the votes of Shi Hao and Messi should be very close. If he knew that he was far ahead, of course Shi Hao would not be nervous; If he knew that he was completely out of action, Shi Hao would only be depressed and not nervous.

At this time, it is the most tangled and imaginative.

Liu Xiyu also understood his mood and kept laughing with him.

After a few days of unpleasant tourist life, Shi Hao walked into the auditorium of the award ceremony with his head held high on crutches and supported by Liu Xiyu, facing countless flashing lights. His hands were shaking.
