Due to the merger of the Ballon d'Or and the FIFA Footballer of the Year, in the 2010-11 season, UEFA decided to set up the "UEFA Ballon d'Or" award, Ronaldo was ranked in the top three for 4 consecutive years, and in the 2013-14 season, if it was not for Zhang Xu to lead Arsenal to win the European Champions Cup, then it is likely to be Ronaldo who won the UEFA Player of the Season this time.

In the 2010-11 season, Messi won the championship with 39 votes, Xavi ranked second with 11 votes, and Ronaldo only had a pitiful 3 votes; The 2011-12 season was extremely competitive, with Andres Iniesta winning the title with 19 votes and Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo tied with 17 votes. In the 2012-13 season, Ribery won 36 votes, Messi 14 votes, and Ronaldo 3 votes.

In the Champions League, Zhang Xu scored an astonishing 11 goals and 12 assists in 11 games!

It can be said that this season's European Champions Cup, almost Zhang Xu led the team all the way, which brought Arsenal to the final and won Arsenal's first European Champions Cup championship trophy in one fell swoop!

Throughout the season, Zhang Xu's record is very dazzling, not to mention the number of assists, and the number of goals is also among the best in the Premier League!

In terms of team honors, Zhang Xu won the Champions League, the league championship, the League Cup, and the FA Cup.

In contrast, Ronaldo and Neuer, as part of the overall brilliance of Germany and Bayern, have a congenital disadvantage in individual awards; Robben scored 21 goals in 45 games for Bayern in the 2013-14 season and also scored three goals in the World Cup, but as an attacker, Robben's performance is still far from Ronaldo's, let alone Zhang Xu, who has an amazing performance.

At 7:45 p.m. on January 12, 2015, the 2014 FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony was held in Zurich, Switzerland. French star Thierry Henry, who has since retired, presented the World Footballer of the Year award.

According to the distribution of votes, Zhang Xu won 37.66% of the votes, Ronaldo 15.76%, Messi and Neuer 15.72%. Zhang Xu's vote rate alone exceeded the total of Ronaldo, Messi and Neuer, and compared with the 2013 Golden Ball Awards, which are known as the "most fierce Golden Ball Awards in 41 years", there is no suspense about the ownership of the 2014 Golden Globe Awards. You must know that in the 2013 Ballon d'Or, Ronaldo received 27.99% of the votes, Messi 24.72%, and Ribery 23.36%, and the three received extremely similar votes.

I'm very happy and I'm very touched to win the Ballon d'Or. I've been trying to win more trophies, but I didn't think I'd win the Ballon d'Or again. Maybe I'll tie Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi one day, but I won't think too much about it and I'll get a good night's sleep tonight. I want to be able to stay in the history of football as the best player and I'm on the right path right now and I'm sure one day I'll get there. ”
