The World Footballer of the Year was created by FIFA in 1991, and German star Matthaus was elected the inaugural World Footballer of the Year. In recent years, the influence of this selection has gradually surpassed the "World Footballer" selection of the long-established British "World Footballer", and the winner has become the world's recognized "World Footballer of the Year".

According to the rules, the "World Footballer of the Year" is voted for by the coaches and captains of each national team under FIFA, and each person can choose 3 people, but cannot choose the members of the national team he coaches, for example, foreign managers can vote for players in their home country, but not for their own players. And the captain, you can't vote for yourself!

Although FIFA has not made an official statement on this, we can still see it. In a World Cup year, the World Footballer of the Year award is based on the World Cup record of the player's national team and the player's individual performance in the World Cup. In non-World Cup years, the main criterion for selection is the performance of the player's club in the Champions League. The FIFA World Footballer of the Year is a comprehensive recognition of a player's fame, achievements, career contributions and status in football.

Since the Olympic Games, Zheng Zhi's absence in this year's Asian Cup qualifiers has made Han Sen the captain of the Chinese national team naturally, so not only the captain's vote, but even the head coach's vote was sent to Han Sen by FIFA staff because Gao Hongbo did not go abroad.

It's easy to fill in your own ballot, what should Gao Hongbo do? Han Sen glanced at Mendes beside him, and Mendes shrugged, "Look at what I'm doing." Surely, ask your own manager? ”

Gao Hongbo seemed to have known about this ballot for a long time, and said to Han Sen on the phone: "FIFA has already contacted me, and I have already authorized you this matter on the phone." I have two requirements, first, I don't have any opinion on who you vote for, you can vote for your favor. Second, the ballot officers of both of us are consistent, and that's it, the international call hangs up! ”

Han Sen couldn't cry or laugh. Gao Hongbo: Isn't this the same as not saying it? Seeing the staff waiting for the end of work, and waiting for themselves to sleep, I thought about it for a while. I thought that I couldn't vote for myself anyway, isn't it easy to choose 3 people? There is no World Series this year, and this year, the team that has performed well is undoubtedly Barcelona. And the players who perform well. It's all around me.

So Hansen swiped his pen, and Messi, Xavi and Eto'o all went up together. Messi was the top scorer in the Champions League last season, Xavi was the pillar of Barcelona, and Eto'o walked with him all the way, performing well in Barcelona and Inter, and he can be called the top three in the world except for himself! As for Ronaldo, Kaka and Ibrahimovic, who are the most influential figures in the transfer market this year, Han Sen really hasn't dealt with them, anyway, Gao Hongbo also said it. You can vote for favors, so what else is there to say.

Mendez squinted at Han Sen's vote. Without saying a word, Han Sen returned the filled ballot to the staff, then turned back to Mendes and asked, "Didn't you say you would help me run Mr. Football?" Now that I've filled in my own ballot, how do you operate someone else's ballot? ”

Mendes smiled mysteriously: "There are some things you don't necessarily need to know. ”

The next night, the 2009 AFC Awards Gala was officially held, and Han Sen led Xu Yun, who was pregnant with Liujia, on the red carpet in front of the theater, attracting the greatest cheers and applause! Originally, Han Sen wanted to wear a Tang costume to attend the ceremony, but Xu Yun's figure couldn't fit into a cheongsam now, so he had to buy a new suit in Kuala Lumpur. Most of the Chinese in Kuala Lumpur came to the scene, and the shouts of Chinese Han Sen were far more than handsome.

"Han Sen! When will your wife give birth? Boys and girls? Next to the red carpet, is there a reporter asking, Han Sen thought to himself that I really can't say this, let's talk about it when I go back to Italy and play B ultrasound, so he put on a smile that has nothing to say, waved his hand to Xu Yun, and waved back!

After entering the gate of the theater, Han Sen and Xu Yun's restrained faces just breathed a sigh of relief, only to see Mendes, who had entered the door early, chatting with a man who seemed to be also a player, Mendes hurriedly beckoned: "Handsome, get to know him, Endo Hohito!" ”

Endo Hohito's English is far from so simple, listening to the pronunciation, Han Sen guessed that he was a devil, so he had to nod slightly.

Endo Yasuhito's face was expressionless and said, "Han Sen, today's best player, do you think there is suspense?" ”

Han Sen can see it from his appearance, if there is no accident, this Japanese player should also be one of the candidates for the Asian Footballer of the Year, not an excellent player, how can Mendes be on the pole and he is here to spend here, but looking at his expression, it seems that he is dissatisfied with the warm welcome he received and the hot prediction, indeed, after all, there are rules, and there is no final announcement who is the Asian Footballer of the Year, and really anyone can be elected.

"This ...... Mister Yasuhito Endo. Han Sen struggled to learn Mendes to pronounce Endo's English name, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of saying that you are a player or a journalist?" ”

Endo represented Japan in the Asian Cup in 2004 and the World Cup in '06. And as we all know, Han Sen only embarked on a career path in 07 years and landed directly in La Liga Mallorca, not to mention Asian football, even Chinese football knows nothing, to say that he doesn't know Endo Hohito, it's quite understandable!

Seeing that Endo Yasuhito's face changed drastically, it was obvious that he had never suffered such a big loss in words, Mendes desperately held back a laugh, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at the wonderful expressions on the faces of the two.

Endo gritted his teeth and said, "I'm a Japanese player and one of the candidates for the Asian Footballer of the Year tonight!" ”

Looking at the other party's heel, Han Sen smiled: "Fortunately, I am glad to be happy, can I ask again which club Mr. Endo plays for now?" ”

Endo Hohito is almost vomiting blood, in Japan, he is indeed a household name football star, since 2003 on behalf of the Japanese national team, and since 2001, he has been playing in the Japanese domestic league for the Osaka Flying Feet, although won the AFC Champions League last year, but the gold content of the event, coupled with the fame of the Flying Feet, how can it be compared with Han Sen's Champions League champion and teams like Barcelona and Inter Milan.

Mendes saw that Han Sen would have to pull Endo's face away if he continued like this, and hurriedly came out to clear the siege: "Mr. Endo was the winner of the AFC Champions League last season, and he played for the Osaka Flying Feet. ”

Han Sen made a look of sudden realization: "I'm sorry, my wife is pregnant, I have to take her in and sit down and rest, and after the ceremony, let's talk again, Mr. Mendez, please greet Mr. Endo." ”

After speaking, Han Sen immediately led Xu Yun in without looking back, Xu Yun said a little worriedly: "They are all famous stars, it doesn't matter if they are so shabby, right?" ”

Han Sen smiled and said, "If your husband doesn't chill him, he will have to chill me, so you don't have to worry about this kind of thing." ”

After the ceremony began, Han Sen, who was already familiar with this kind of football federation-style award ceremony, waited for the announcement of the last personal honor, and the previous several important awards were won by Japan and South Korea, the award of the best women's national team of the year was awarded to Japan's U19 women's football team, the award of the best men's national team of the year was awarded to the South Korean national team, and a female referee from China, Zhang Lingling, won the Asian Best Women's Assistant Referee Award Such a very unpopular award, which made Han Sen a little surprised. Because the Chinese Football Association did not organize a delegation at all, Zhang Lingling is not as good as herself as a superstar, and it is not easy to receive the award as an individual. The on-site camera also repeatedly pointed at Han Sen, and Han Sen naturally put on a beaming image of cheering for his compatriots.

AFC President Hammam walked to the stage: "Alright, it's time to reveal the much-talked-about Asian Men's Footballer of the Year, let's take a look at the short videos of the candidates. ”

In addition to Han Sen and Endo Hohito, the candidates who came to the award ceremony that night were also Alexander from Uzbekistan? Ganriko, Baba from Qatar? Marik and Iran's Hadi? Agri. These people, Han Sen had never heard of at all. However, Endo Baoren's previous intersection with himself made Han Sen pay a little attention to his short film, and saw that Endo Baoren's penalty kick posture was very weird, the running was very slow, and the kicking was also very soft, but the opponent's goalkeeper was indifferent to him and was deceived by him!

Han Sen couldn't help but look at Endo Hohito not far away, thinking that this little Japan has two brushes!

On one side, Endo Hohito has a smug look on his face! (To be continued......)
