Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland and the richest city in Europe, Zurich means "water town" in Crete, located in the northern Alps, at the northwest end of Lake Zurich, at the mouth of the Limmat River and Lake Zurich, with a population of 369,000. The village was formed as early as 2000, with a city-state in 1218 and a member of the Swiss Confederation in 1351. By the 18th and 19th centuries, Zurich had become the cultural, educational and scientific center of Switzerland's predominantly German-speaking peoples, and many famous scientists, including Albert Einstein and one of the founders of nuclear physics, Wolf. Pori has studied and worked here.

On January 10th, it became the center of sports, and fans from all over the world temporarily shifted their attention from the league to the red carpet, tuxedos, magnesium lights, and stars...... An Oscars ceremony dedicated to football is about to be staged.

Unlike the previous Golden Globe Awards, where there was no suspense, or the winners were leaked in advance, the combined Golden Globes kept the suspense until the last minute, and even the winners themselves could not be known until then.

Since 1982, the British "World Football" has conducted an annual selection of World Footballer of the Year, which is second only to FIFA and "French Football" magazine, and in this selection voted by fans around the world, Xavi won the first place with 25.8% of the vote; Previously known as the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, "Marca" also paid tribute to the core of the sworn enemy Xavi, "Marca" believes that compared to Iniesta, who scored the only goal in the World Cup final, Xavi's performance is more consistent, and the attendance rate is higher, compared to Li Huan, he led the team to the World Cup, from the previous 20 years of the history of the Golden Ball selection, Xavi will win the final selection.

In the face of praise, Xavi seemed quite calm, "Of course I want to win the award, but I will not lose sleep because of this, in fact, I am already happy to be able to compete for this honor with Iniesta and Li Huan, this is the highest honor a player can win, as for who the Ballon d'Or ends up in the end, I don't care, because this is the work of other people." ”

Messi, who fell out of the top three of the Ballon d'Or, sent blessings to his teammates Xavi and Iniesta when he was hopeless, "We didn't play the expected results in the World Cup, and it is normal not to enter the top three, Xavi and Iniesta's performance in the club and the national team is very exciting, and it is natural for them to win the Ballon d'Or, no matter who they win, this is the pride of Barcelona, of course, Li Huan appeared in the top three, which shows his strength, and it is reasonable if he is elected, not an underdog." ”

Because the Ballon d'Or awards have come from the World Cup champion team for 20 years, Li Huan, who has always been confident, has no confidence this time, he said when he attended a press conference with the nominees in Zurich, "I feel very happy to be able to stand here in the World Cup year, after all, the influence of the World Cup is very huge, and it is very difficult to win the championship, whether it is Xavi, Iniesta, or Snyder standing here, it is normal, and I am an underdog (laughing), but since I am here, it shows that coaches all over the world." , the captain and the reporters still have a lot of support for me, and I hope they will support me until the end and make me really upset. ”

After the press conference in the afternoon, Li Huan and all the stars who participated in the event held a charity and fan interaction activity in the city of Zurich.

After the event, when Li Huan and the stars returned to the Zurich Convention Center again, Li Huan was very surprised to find three people, father Li Jianguo, mother Dong Mei and younger brother Li Xiao.

Li Huan walked out of the stars, came to his parents and younger brother, and said in surprise: "Why did you come, why didn't you notify me in advance?" ”

Li Jianguo was both excited and proud and a little nervous, he coughed dryly twice, and said, "It was the Arsenal Club who picked us up, and in order to surprise you, they didn't let me inform you." ”

Li smiled: "Brother, it's an accident, I hope you will also give us an accident and win this Golden Globe Award." Now the whole world thinks that Xavi and Iniesta have won the award, why can't you, your individual performance is much better than theirs, if you play in the World Cup, is there still a suspense about this Ballon d'Or? ”

Dong Mei has also been accustomed to seeing reporters and celebrities over the years, but after coming to this place, she was restrained like a rural woman who had never seen the world, and she listened to what Li Xiao said too much, and pulled the back hem of Li Xiao's suit with her hand.

Li Xiao shook his head and said, "What are you afraid of, Mom, do you think there are a few people here who can understand our Chinese." ”

Li Huan smiled and said to Arsenal's secretary Miles: "You will carry out a surprise attack." ”

Miles saw that Li Huan was in a good mood, and immediately gave up the credit, turned sideways to give up Director Fryer, and said, "This is what Director Fryer meant." ”

Fryer smiled: "Lee, whether you win the award or not, this is one of the most important moments in your life, and you need your family to be present, but it's a pity that you didn't get your girlfriend." ”

Girlfriend? Li Huan smiled meaningfully, and said that it was not so easy to get my girlfriend, he saw Xavi, Iniesta, and the women's football players Balamai, Marta, and Prinz who were competing for the FIFA Golden Ball Award all walked from the red carpet to the podium, so he said goodbye to his parents, turned around and followed quickly.

The award ceremony began with the selection of the Team of the Year, with the selection of players still dominated by the outstanding performers in the World Cup, followed by the Champions League and the league.

The goalkeeper is undoubtedly the world champion Spanish goalkeeper Casillas.

The four defenders are Brazil's McConn, China's Li Huan, Spain's Pique, and Puyol's three midfielders are Spain's Xavi and Iniesta, and the Netherlands' Sneijder.

The three forwards are Argentina's Messi, Spain's Villa, and Portugal's C-Ronaldo.

Of the 11-man squad, world champions Spain dominate more than half of the squad, including six from Barcelona, and the award was presented by one of the world's best strikers, Dutch superstar Fan. Basten.

When Van Basten presented the best team, the best 11-man performance on the pitch was shown on the big screen, and the conference hall burst into applause.

Former South Africa international Radebe then presented the Fair Play Award to the Haitian Under-17 women's team, who were awarded for their bravery in the face of the devastating earthquake of January 2010. The team's head coach was killed in the earthquake, but the girls still participated in the U17 World Youth Championship qualifiers, winning applause from the fans at the scene and the respect of fans around the world.

The best women's coach was taken away by Germany coach Ned, and Spain coach Bosque presented her with the trophy.

And then when Ned presented the award to the best men's football coach, Spanish coach Bosque was successfully elected again, and the two presented each other's awards, just like giving prizes, which caused the guests to laugh.

The FIFA President's Award was awarded to Tutu, former Archbishop of South Africa and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, for his active support of the World Cup in South Africa and his commitment to using football to enhance the lives of his community.

The Puskas Prize is a new award added in 2009 and was proposed by Blatter to pay tribute to one of the greatest strikers of all time, the legendary Hungarian star Puskas. The scope of goal-scoring competitions is limited to FIFA A-League, Continental Championship and the National Top Club League; Important surnames of the event must also be taken into account; Goals must not be scored by luck or mistakes by the opponent and must not be contrary to the spirit of fair play. The FIFA panel of experts first nominates the top 10 balls, and then visitors to the FIFA official website vote for the best balls.

The best goal in 09 was won by Li Huan, and Li Huan's beautiful goals this season are still endless, and before the award ceremony, most people thought that this award was designed for Li Huan.

However, when Kazakhstan international Sidridelnikov appeared on the podium, Arsenal and Li Huan fans had a bad feeling because it was Altentop who scored a super long-range volley in Turkey's European Championship qualifier against Kazakhstan on September 3, 2010.

Sure enough, after opening the golden envelope, the Kazakh national Sidrnikov announced that the winner was the Grand Altentop.

Li Xiao, who was sitting in the front row, said to Miles beside him with some anger: "Why? My brother scored more beautiful goals than this volley. Miles shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, it may be that Li Huan's beautiful goals are too many, so that fans don't think that the goal selected by FIFA is the most beautiful, and it is surprising that Big Altentop can play such a volley, which gives people a sense of novelty." ”

"It could also be that FIFA is more optimistic about the national team's game, while the original 'French football' is more focused on the club game. ”

After the award of the best goal, the two most suspenseful and important awards will be announced soon.

First up was the Miss World Football, with Brazil's Juan Mata being voted Miss World for the fifth time, beating out two German players, Prinz (15.18%) and Baylamer (9.96%), with 38.20% of the vote.

Brazil international Marta cried tears of joy in the face of the glittering trophy, and she spoke to the fans and superstars about her experience and hardships in the past few years. And shake hands with the three men's Ballon d'Or winners who are about to compete in a brutal competition.

At this point, this year's FIFA Golden Globe Awards in addition to the most important Golden Globe Award attribution, the others have been announced, at this moment, the world's eyes are focused on the Zurich Hall, Li Huan, Xavi, Iniesta, who is the final winner, still need to wait for Guardiola to uncover the mystery.
