In the end, Portuguese star C. Ronaldo, who currently plays for Manchester United, beat Messi (678), Kaka (183), Torres (203) and Xavi (155) with 935 points, and jumped two places to become Shijie Footballer of the Year after being ranked in the award last year. Ronaldo thus became the 10th "Super Man" in history to win the Ballon d'Or and Shijie Footballer of the Year awards in the same year, and also the second Portuguese Shijie Footballer after Figo in 2001, and broke the ice that Premier League clubs could not produce Shijie Footballer in one fell swoop, helping Manchester United become the eighth giant club to "contribute" Shijie Footballer after Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and PSV Eindhoven.

The 2007-08 season was Cristiano Ronaldo's best season for Manchester United, scoring 42 goals in all competitions, including 31 in 34 Premier League games and eight in the Champions League, winning the Premier League and European Golden Boot, and the Reds also won the Premier League and UEFA Champions League double. At the European Championship in June, Cristiano Ronaldo led Portugal to the quarter-finals, but unfortunately lost 2-3 to later runners-up Germany, and he only scored one goal in the group stage against the Czech Republic. In the Club World Cup held in Japan at the end of last year, Cristiano Ronaldo won the championship with Manchester United, drawing a successful end to his 2008. Prior to winning the title of Shijie Footballer of the Year, he was named FIFPro Footballer of the Year 2008 by the International Players Federation, and received a number of accolades such as the 2008 Shijie Footballer of the Year award from Shijie Football magazine and the Ballon d'Or from Football France. In terms of individual awards, he became a well-deserved Golden Slam winner.

And the title of Miss Shijie Football was given to Brazil's Marta, and just before the New Year, Hansen also played a charity match between Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo's team of friends. Playing with Marta has made a wonderful and unique memory!

Several other important awards, like the Fair Play Award, went to Turkey and Armenia, while the FIFA Development Contribution Award went to Palestine. The FIFA President's Special Award was awarded to the Chinese Olympic team, and Xie Yalong, whom Han Sen saw from the TV screen, also received the award from Blatter with joy, thinking about this grand occasion, he couldn't come. It's inevitable that you will yearn for it!

Binyan watched the award while paying attention to the news from his colleagues in Switzerland, Han Sen thought about the phone Xie Yalong had made to him before, and thought to himself. In fact, the award of Shijie Footballer is nothing more than the vote of the head coach of the national team and the captain of the national team. It is not yet possible to participate in this vote. It means that I can't make any changes to this Shijie football's highest individual award, which is a little regrettable.

Binyan went out halfway to answer a phone call, and came back and said to Han Sen happily, "Guess how many you are?" ”

Han Sen looked at Binyan dumbfounded, obviously the award of Shijie Footballer in the past was far away from him, and now although it is close at hand, the five Kaiwai have already made him feel that this honor is far away for him, however, Binyan said so. He only reacted, after all, he was the best 23-man list on Shijie. If you can get as high as possible, then your status in the whole year will be further improved! At least for Chinese football, that would be an unattainable benchmark.

“…… What do you mean...... Quite ahead? Han Sen stammered to Binyan, and Osvaldo and Han Weimin also looked at Binyan with puzzled eyes.

Binyan hahadaxiao: "Han Sen, you have made a lot of money, it just so happens that your votes are 13th, this advertising effect is just right, that is to say, you are the thirteenth gentleman candidate this year!" ”

"It's also the 13th!" Han Sen grinned, "It's kind of interesting!" ”

Han Weimin smiled next to him and patted Han Sen's shoulder: "Congratulations!" According to the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, you are the thirteenth hero of today's shijie football. ”

Han Sen is also excited when he thinks about it, in just one year, he has followed closely with figures like Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka, Xavi and Torres, standing on the podium, not counting, but also in the eyes of the national team captains of the head coaches of various countries, he can become one of the thirteen people with the most performance in the whole year, that is to say, if there is only one football team on the planet, he is two steps away from the start!

"Okay, I have to go back to the company to publish the manuscript, you guys take a look!" Binyan said as he walked, "This issue of Han Sen, your column is called "The Thirteenth Ball King". ”

"The king of the ball? It's still the thirteenth, it's still quite far! Han Sen smiled modestly a little unconfidently.

Osvaldo said calmly on the side: "It's not far away, there are a lot of Shijie kings, if you can be ranked No. 13 when you retire, then it will be enough for you to go down in the history of football!" ”

Han Sen thought about it and was secretly happy again, and asked Han Weimin instead: "The first hero in the Sui and Tang dynasties is Li Yuanba, and the second hero is Yuwen Chengdu, who is this thirteenth hero?" ”

Han Weimin: "......"

Due to being in Spain, Han Sen was unable to receive the feedback from domestic fans about his participation in the Footballer Award for the first time, but the local reports in Spain were the first to be in the dust!

The media pointed out that although the Spanish player failed to win the Shijie Footballer of the Year, the Spanish player was still the winner of this year's FIFA Awards. Fernando Torres was third, Xavi was fifth, Casillas was eighth, and Andres Iniesta, Villa and Cesc Fabregas also scored for a total of six votes, with the Spanish team being the most beautiful part of the selection. The Chinese player Han Sen and the Argentine player Messi, embedded in Spanish football, have become the unique colors of this plate. Messi's second place goes without saying, and Hansen's thirteenth place even surpassed Andres Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas, just behind Villa, the top scorer in the European Championship!

Judging from the votes, most of the votes for Xavi are from Europe, such as Greek coach Rehhagel, Dutch coach Malvik, Portugal coach Queiroz, Serbian coach Antich, England captain Terry, Russian captain Simak, etc., it is obvious that these European coaches and captains know the importance and prominence of Xavi best. On the contrary, it was Torres, who voted for the first place mostly from the captains and coaches of some small football countries, but Torres got more votes than Xavi in the second and third places, which is why he ranked higher than Xavi. Han Sen's votes are similar to Torres's, interestingly, among the countries that voted for Han Sen, a large part of them are some countries that participated in the Olympic Games, which shows that some small football countries, usually lack of events, once there is a big competition, almost all eyes are focused on the outstanding teams and players in the competition, like Han Sen is recognized as the best player in the Beijing Olympics, and New Zealand, Nigeria, and Belgium, which have played against the Chinese team, have contributed to Han Sen's votes. As for Brazil, Ronaldinho, as the captain of the team, also chose Hansen in the third pick as a unique tribute to this friend!

In terms of countries, Brazil is currently the country that has won the "Shijie Footballer of the Year" award, with Romario, Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldo and Kaka bringing the trophy back to Brazil a total of 8 times, followed by France 3 times and Italy 2 times. Before the game, the Spanish media had enthusiastically hoped that Messi or Spain would win the trophy, as no Spanish or Argentine player had ever lifted the trophy before. Although Zuihou Spain failed to win the award, the number of votes for six players and the fact that players like Messi and Hansen, who grew entirely on La Liga, were at the top of the rankings gave the Spanish plate the recognition they deserved.

The Chinese report of Binyan's "No. 13 Ball King" caused a crazy response in China, and the whole year of 2008 was indeed a bumper year for Chinese football! First, Han Sen, as a representative of the new generation of players, landed in the top five European leagues, and then Han Sen led the national Olympic team to achieve a historical record in the semifinals of the Beijing Olympic Games. If Han Sen's success and the breakthrough of the National Olympic Games are a bit of luck and luck, then the FIFA year-end awards further affirm the progress of Chinese football. Han Sen was ranked 13th in Shijie Footballer of the Year, and the Chinese Olympic team even won the FIFA President's Special Award! (To be continued......)
