Chapter 373 The son of Atletico Madrid! Tonight, the golden ball belongs to Atletico Madrid! [A big chapter with ten thousand words, please beg me to subscribe]

Zurich Switzerland.

FIFA has chartered a five-star hotel near the Zurich Opera House, and all guests present have arranged to check in to make final preparations for tonight's football Oscars.

Yang Hao and his entourage from Atletico Madrid came from Madrid in a mighty manner and also stayed here.

This time, Atletico Madrid had many players present.

In addition to the three stars who were shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or, there are also players who were shortlisted for the best team.

Coupled with the players' family members or girlfriends, the "Atletico Madrid delegation" can be called the absolute protagonist tonight.

As an annual football event, it is naturally also a stage for major brand sponsors to compete for glory.

But it's not just the stars who are favored by sponsors. Yang Hao is also the favorite of major brand sponsors around the world.

As Yang Hao's sponsor, Armani has carefully customized a set of high-end suits for Yang Hao early on, and also arranged for an image team to be present to design Yang Hao's image.

This time, Armani also customized a silver tube top evening dress from the "Moon Goddess" series for her.

Bilal is the chairman of the Spanish Football Federation and Cerezo is the chairman of the La Liga Board of Directors. In theory, the relationship between the two should be quite bad, but in fact, the relationship between the two is very good.

Whether it is Yang Hao or La Liga, they know very well in their hearts that the football associations and federations in the world are all the same.

The subsequent auction of La Liga broadcast rights will be another big test for La Liga's management.

This was her first time to participate in such a global event, and she was quite nervous.

Growth is certain, the key is to what extent it can grow.

Bilal is very knowledgeable now and cooperates very well with La Liga. This has created the current glory of La Liga.

"That's not true. I guess he doesn't know either." Cerezo shook his head.

"What? He told you who won the award?" Yang Hao became interested.

But from a personal perspective, Yang Hao actually hopes that Messi will win the award.

It's not that he is partial, but he feels that his appearance has caused Messi to still not win the Ballon d'Or, which is somewhat regrettable.

Since dating Yang Hao, Lin Yoona's popularity has also increased. Many high-end luxury brands, including Dior, invited her to be the spokesperson, but in the end, like Yang Hao, she chose Armani.

FIFA actually implemented multiple confidentiality mechanisms for the final result. It's not surprising that Bilal didn't know about it.

They are all ready tonight, especially Hill.

After a group of people sat down, the topic naturally turned to tonight's award ceremony.

She knew very well that it was because of Yang Hao that she could appear here today and even wear this evening dress.

"Bilal revealed a piece of news to me."

The top three are all Atletico Madrid players. Whoever wins the award is the same to Atletico Madrid.

In his words: "Tonight is our big day at Atletico Madrid!"

Everyone was amused.

Not to mention anything else, the money taken away from La Liga broadcast rights every year is enough for the Spanish Football Federation to squander.

Yang Hao glanced at Cerezo with a questioning look on his face.

By this time, Cerezo, Hill Jr., Carlos Leo, Andrew Balasco and others had all arrived.

Moreover, Messi's performance is indeed worthy of the Ballon d'Or.

The banter and teasing from Yang Hao made this fairy who seemed to have stepped out of a painting even more shy.

The image designer still had to take care of Lin Yoona's hair. Yang Hao happened to answer a phone call and returned to his room.

"I just met Pilar." Cerezo said with a smile.

As the latest model from Armani, this series was previously made famous by Anne Hathaway, but Yoona Lin is now wearing a different style.

"Platini and Blatter are having a conflict."

"Then what do you have to talk about?" Yang Hao scolded with a smile.

This Atletico Madrid shareholder, whom Yang Hao ridiculed as a farmer, was also wearing a straight suit and dressed seriously tonight.

Wearing a dazzling Armani customized diamond necklace on her slender pink neck, it looks even more sparkling.

The difference is, can you do things? Can it be done?

But it's still far from the peak.

"Tonight, the reporters outside the venue may not have enough film."

After Yang Hao saw it, he couldn't help but praise him repeatedly.

Except for Yang Hao, everyone showed a very complicated look after hearing this. They were a little surprised, but they felt it was natural.

Since the rise of La Liga, the Spanish Football Association's income has also increased.

The silver satin fabric is as gorgeous and romantic as a galaxy of diamonds, and the curved tailoring is as noble and elegant as a crescent moon, creating a soft, delicate, fresh and refined image of the Moonlight Goddess.

The outsiders have all gone out, and at this moment, Atletico Madrid's three major shareholders and core executives are the only ones left in the room.

But as soon as she saw Yang Hao, her heart was set.

This has to talk about the relationship between FIFA and UEFA.

In theory, UEFA is affiliated with FIFA, but the whole world knows that the core of professional football is in Europe, so UEFA has a decisive influence in world football.

UEFA has always been unhappy with FIFA, and the contradiction between the two sides is obvious.

At that time, Platini was still working at FIFA as an assistant to Blatter, but he suddenly chose to return to France and run for UEFA executive committee. Many people speculated that Blatter was supporting Platini. .

Sure enough, in early 07, with the support of Blatter, Platini defeated Blatter's arch-rival Johansson and was elected president of UEFA.

This incident caused quite a stir at the beginning.

It was the honeymoon period for Platini and Blatter.

According to the insider information obtained by Yang Hao, as well as the information from his past life, Blatter does intend to support Platini.

There is definitely more to this Frenchman than meets the eye.

According to Blatter's wishes, Platini led UEFA and took the initiative to move closer to FIFA. When Blatter's term was up, he would abdicate and let Platini replace him as FIFA president. Location.

In 07, during the UEFA presidential election, Beckenbauer's voice was also very high.

But the German football emperor did not run for the election in the end, and many people speculated that his intention was to become the president of FIFA.

But over the past few years, Beckenbauer has obviously become much more low-key.

Everyone knows that Platini is Blatter's successor.

From 07 to now, it has only been 4 years, and the honeymoon period for the two of them has long passed.

"The bid to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups in one go is actually an appearance. It seems that Blatter wants to reap as many benefits as possible before the end of his term."

"Isn't it?" Yang Hao was surprised.

Traditionally, the right to host the World Cup is held one session at a time, but now, Blatter has awarded Russia and Qatar to bid for two World Cups in one go. This is indeed surprising.

Standing in the year 2023 that Yang Hao traveled through, looking back, the real big thing is that the hosting rights that the United States was determined to win were snatched away by Qatar. But standing in the present, everyone feels that Blatter is greedy and controlled by the interest groups he controls. 'Kidnapped', he had to break the rules and secured the right to host two World Cups before retiring.

"of course not."

Cerezo shook his head, "Bilal revealed that this was a slingshot from Blatter, and he hasn't thought about retreating yet."

Yang Hao was a little confused.

The most profitable thing for FIFA right now is the World Cup.

Blatter's move is tantamount to "selling" the 2022 World Cup, giving people the feeling that he wants to make money and run away in a hurry, but why has he turned to throwing stones to ask for directions?

But when Yang Hao thought about it, in his previous life, Blatter did not retreat.

Regardless of what unknown complex calculations there are, Blatter did not fulfill his promise to Platini.

Thinking of this, Yang Hao suddenly understood why Platini attacked the selection of the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

He is not supporting Ronaldo, but making a statement.

"Platini wants to reorganize the European Footballer of the Year in the name of UEFA!" Cerezo said solemnly.

Yang Hao connected all the problems at once.

The European Footballer of the Year was formerly the Ballon d'Or awarded by French Football Magazine, but now it has been merged with FIFA's World Footballer of the Year and is called the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

The European Footballer of the Year that Platini wants to reorganize is UEFA's annual Player of the Year selection.

This is not just about changing the name, but also about expanding the scale and influence of the selection.

FIFA struggled for many years, and finally won the Ballon d'Or with great difficulty, and made many compromises for this.

Platini's move is tantamount to telling Blatter that winning the Ballon d'Or is useless. UEFA can organize another one every minute and continue to compete with FIFA.

And this also represents a rift between him and Blatter!

Now, the conflict has not developed to the point of breaking up. The two are still gaming and wrestling.

However, to hold an award, someone has to foot the bill, right?
Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid players have won awards every year in the past few years.

There are so many media, magazines, and websites around the world, and they hold various awards to award Atletico Madrid for their extraordinary achievements.

Can Atletico Madrid players attend?
To put it bluntly, whether you want to send the awards or not, many of them are sent and you don’t know where to throw them.

If they have a little bit of influence, Atletico Madrid can allow them to come to Mahadahonda to take a photo of the award, and the players can cooperate with it a little bit. This is considered a great face.

How many times has Yang Hao attended UEFA's Player of the Year and Elite Coaches Summits?

In the final analysis, with the current status and status of Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid, there is no need to care about these awards at all.

On the contrary, these awards require Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid to endorse them.

Like this year.

Is it okay if the FIFA Ballon d'Or is not awarded to Atletico Madrid players?

No!

Would Blatter dare not give Yang Hao the Coach of the Year award?
He doesn't dare!
If not, does this award still have any authority?
When an award loses its authority and is not accepted by fans, does the award still have any meaning?

Thinking of this, Yang Hao suddenly smiled.

"Good thing!"

Cerezo, Hill Jr. and others were surprised.

Is this a good thing?
Yang Hao had no way of telling them how things would develop next, especially if the US government would take action.

This is really ridiculous at the moment.

But he is happy to see the internal fighting between Platini and Blatter, and it is best to fight harder.

The harder they fight, the better chance the club will have!
……

As night falls, the lights are on.

In the square outside the main entrance of the Zurich Opera House, a red carpet sermon stretches from the intersection of the Ring Road to the entrance of the Opera House.

Media reporters from all over the world and countless fans from far away gathered on the left and right sides. They were separated by low iron fences by the organizers.

Especially in the media area facing the red carpet, countless guns and cannons were set up.

Whenever a welcome car stops and guests get off the car and walk onto the red carpet, there will be a constant clicking sound.

There is still a little time before the awards ceremony starts on time at 19:, but guests are already arriving in droves.

Many world-famous football stars took off their jerseys, put on crisp suits, and accompanied their wives or girlfriends, and some even brought their children, to the red carpet.

This made the fans at the scene feel their other side outside the stadium and screamed again and again.

Yang Hao's playing time was arranged in the middle.

At this time, there is no such thing as a big shot making a final appearance.

When Yang Hao, who was wearing a crisp suit, opened the door, got off the bus, walked around the back of the bus, and came to the door on the side facing the red carpet, he happened to see Lin Yuner in a tube top evening dress, like a fairy from the Moon Palace descending to earth. Also got out of the car.

Lin Yoona smiled brightly at Yang Hao who raised his hand, gently took his hand, and the two walked side by side on the red carpet.

"Yang!"

"You look so handsome today, Yang!"

The fans screamed from the scene.

When the radio introduced Yang Hao, it emphasized his title: Marquis!
This is definitely unique in world football!
Although there is no so-called aristocracy in international football and what is emphasized is equality, in fact, in the upper class societies of Europe and America, aristocracy has always existed.

It's like Ferguson, who received a new knighthood, is talked about by countless people in the world of football and is called Sir Alex Ferguson.

The heartthrob Beckham even racked his brains and got himself into trouble for a lowly title.

Also in Spain, one person who is revered as a marquis in the sports world is the former President of the International Olympic Committee Juan Antonio Samaranch.

This represents identity and status!
FIFA also paid special attention to Yang Hao and specially arranged for two officials to come out to greet them. They walked respectfully in front and led the way for Yang Hao and Lin Yuner, giving them special courtesy.

The media reporters and fans at the scene were screaming and cheering as always.

As a member of the girl group, Lin Yoon-ah is loved by the whole country in South Korea. Everywhere she goes, she can feel the enthusiasm of fans.

But tonight, she still felt nervous.

Because she knew that at this moment, every step she took on the red carpet was broadcast live by media and television stations around the world.

In every corner of the earth, there are people watching her every move.

Fortunately, she stayed by Yang Hao's side generously all the way, just like the moon guarding the sun.

……

Along the red carpet, we slowly walked into the Zurich Opera House.

As soon as he entered the door, Yang Hao became the center of attention.

"Hello Yang, nice to meet you."

FIFA executive committee member Chung Mong-joon was the first to come forward. He was very enthusiastic and extended his hand to Yang Hao from a distance.

Yang Hao met him during the World Cup, but he didn't have the slightest fondness for the guy who single-handedly created the worst black history in the history of the World Cup, especially since he was a Korean.

After Zheng Mengzhun warmly shook hands with Yang Hao, he chatted a few words with Lin Yuner in Korean, laughed loudly, and stood close to Lin Yuner, like an elder looking after his junior.

How could Yang Hao not read his mind?
This was telling everyone in the audience that his relationship with Yang Hao was extraordinary.

At Yang Hao's current position, there is always no shortage of such people around him, so he doesn't bother to talk to them.

Lin Yoona, on the other hand, was a little at a loss.

"He is very influential in our Korea, should I..." Lin Yoona was a little worried.

Yang Hao smiled, patted her hand, and said comfortingly: "It's okay, don't think too much, that was in Korea, but now, we are in Europe, you have to get used to all this!"

Lin Yoona was nervous and proud, and immediately nodded heavily.

She felt that she had done the right thing by following Yang Hao.

In South Korea, no matter how big an entertainment star is, it is impossible for her to be as famous as she is at this moment.

Even Zheng Mongzhun, who was able to call the shots in Korea, was speaking to her politely from the sidelines at this moment.

All of this was given by Yang Hao.

……

Yang Hao has been very successful in European football in recent years. He just won the World Cup last year and is well-deserved as the world's number one coach. This makes him warmly welcomed by everyone wherever he goes.

Although he doesn't like socializing, Yang Hao has been in the circle for many years, so he will inevitably master some methods. It is not difficult for him to cope with the situation in front of him.

Especially with the arrival of Ancelotti and Wenger, the three world-famous coaches coming together really became a unique scenery in the opera house.

Everyone knows that Yang Hao winning the award is a sure thing.

Ancelotti and Wenger came here not to give FIFA face, but to support Yang Hao.

Yang Hao knew this clearly.

With the arrival of players one after another, especially the appearance of some famous players and guests, the atmosphere became more and more lively.

For example, Van Basten, who is the guest of honor tonight.

When Yang Hao was socializing with everyone, he noticed that Platini also entered the opera house accompanied by Infantino and others.

This big shot in European football naturally has his own momentum and aura.

I have to admit that over the years, under Platini's management, his position as UEFA president has been very strong. If nothing else, it would be difficult for anyone to shake his chairmanship based on the votes given to him by small and medium-sized countries.

This is also the drawback of the one-country-one-vote system.

Although the level of football in small countries such as Liechtenstein and Slovakia is not high and the degree of professionalism is not good, the votes in their hands control the ownership of the UEFA president. Whoever comes up has to please them.

When Yang Hao dealt with a wave of "friends" who came up to say hello, Zheng Mengzhun reminded Yang Hao softly.

"Michelle has been paying attention to you since she walked in."

Yang Hao followed Zheng Mengzhun's gaze and saw Platini looking towards him, and immediately nodded with a smile.

Platini immediately nodded back.

Yang Hao was secretly amused, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and said with a smile: "Maybe it's because he bombarded the FIFA Ballon d'Or election before. He really should explain it to me."

Although Yang Hao said this in a joking tone, in Zheng Mengzhun's opinion, it is a big deal to have the UEFA president explain.

But it was rare for Yang Hao to talk to him in such a nice voice, so of course he had to continue quickly.

"The European Ballon d'Or has been merged with the World Player of the Year. From now on, there will only be one authoritative award in world football: the FIFA Ballon d'Or. It contains the most gold and is the most important. It is indeed a pity for many people."

After a pause, Zheng Mengzhun added, "You know, the Ballon d'Or was previously an award exclusively for Europeans. Even foreign players who play in Europe are not eligible to be selected."

This is the truth.

The Ballon d'Or is roughly divided into three stages. The earliest was an award exclusively for Europeans, so Maradona never won the Ballon d'Or. It was only in the mid-1990s that the selection scope was expanded to include those who played in Europe. Foreign aid is also included.

The first non-European player to win the Ballon d'Or was George Weah.

It was not until 2007 that the Golden Globe Award expanded its scale again. It was no longer limited to the European leagues, but was selected for the whole world. It included all professional players in the world, and the judges also expanded from 52 European media to global ones. 96 media.

The Ballon d'Or has always been seeking changes, but as the World Footballer relies on FIFA and has deep pockets, it has gradually surpassed the Ballon d'Or in terms of popularity and influence.

Not to mention anything else, France Football Magazine cannot handle a huge award ceremony like tonight, which happens every year.

To some extent, the merger is not a bad thing.

Yang Hao captured Zheng Mengzhun's thoughts.

After listening to the Korean's words, Yang Hao suddenly smiled, "This has just begun. With the current momentum of European football and the financial resources of UEFA, we can definitely hold another Golden Globe Award. What do you think?"

Who is Zheng Mengzhun?

He is a veteran who has been involved in world football for many years.

At this moment, when he heard Yang Hao suddenly mention something like this, how could he not understand the meaning behind the words?
UEFA wants to hold another Ballon d'Or?

Looking at Platini like a hunter staring at his prey, staring at Yang Hao, Zheng Mengzhun felt more and more possible.

"Sorry, Yang, I need to go to the bathroom." Zheng Mengzhun apologized and walked away.

Yang Hao smiled and nodded.

……

"Congratulations, Sir Yang!"

As soon as Platini saw Zheng Mengzhun walking away, he immediately came forward to greet him.

Yang Hao was very pleased with his knight's voice.

"Stop joking, Michelle, given our relationship, do you still need to be polite?" Yang Hao said with a familiar smile.

Platini was taken aback for a moment, but he immediately reacted and got "intimate" with Yang Hao in a very friendly manner.

If Lin Yoona hadn't been by his side, holding Yang Hao's arm, he would have wanted to hold Yang Hao's shoulders and talk.

The president of UEFA has nothing to do but visit the Three Treasures Hall.

After some false pleasantries, he gradually changed the topic to another aspect.

Awards.

Platini sadly told Yang Hao that UEFA and European football associations were helpless about the merger of the World Player of the Year and the Ballon d'Or, which represents the most authoritative and oldest award in European and even world football. Completely integrated into FIFA.

"Yes, I have heard people mention this matter more than once. In fact, I think it was good for the two awards to coexist in the past. There are also many fans who very much recognize the authority of the Golden Globe Award." Yang Hao followed Platini's words, Chased a sentence.

"Who says not?" Platini immediately agreed.

The Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year, in terms of professional authority, the Ballon d'Or has always been superior.

Authority here does not mean influence.

"Before, many executive committee members and football associations came to me and thought that we in European football still need to have our own awards. After all, after the merger of the World Footballer and the Ballon d'Or, there are too many problems, especially the authority of the selection. superior."

When Yang Hao heard this, he frowned inadvertently.

Platini also realized the problem in his words and hurriedly explained: "I am not saying that there is a problem with this year's selection. Atletico Madrid players deserve the award. I strongly agree. If If you can’t get an award for achieving such results, then why is there any need for this award?”

Yang Hao then relaxed his brows slightly.

"Many people have mentioned to me that there are problems with the voting process of the FIFA Ballon d'Or. They all believe that after the merger, this new award can no longer truly reflect the authoritative value of this ancient selection."

After hearing this, Yang Hao nodded repeatedly.

"Many people are reacting to me, hoping that UEFA can set up a new award, which can be called European Footballer, to reward the best players in Europe and continue the spirit of the Ballon d'Or Award created by French Football Magazine."

Yang Hao nodded again and again.

"Yang, what do you think?" Platini looked at Yang Hao eagerly.

Yang Hao seemed to be "persuaded" by what he said before, and after thinking about it seriously, he nodded and said: "I agree with you, and I also think that such a merger is not necessarily a good thing. "

Platini had an expression like "I knew you would agree with me", but then quickly put on an embarrassed look, "But if we want to set up awards, we must win over all clubs and football associations. Especially the support of a top club like yours, Atletico Madrid.”

"There's nothing to say. We will definitely support the awards established by UEFA!" Yang Hao expressed his stance without hesitation.

He just told Cerezo, Xiao Hill and others the same thing in the hotel.

Platini breathed a heavy sigh of relief and beamed with joy, "With your words, I feel relieved. I can guarantee that the selection will be open, fair and just. With Atletico Madrid's current strength, you can win There must be many winners.”

Yang Hao immediately started laughing too, "You made me a little impatient. Can it be released in August this year?"

"I am soliciting opinions from all parties and will start preparations when I return. I will launch it when the time is right."

"Then I'm waiting for your good news!"

And when he was "laughing" with Platini, he happened to see Zheng Mongzhun, who just said he was going to the toilet, pulling FIFA President Blatter from a distance and whispering something, faintly still. Pointing towards Yang Hao.

That is definitely not talking about Yang Hao, but Platini.

From Yang Hao's point of view, he hopes that Blatter and Platini will fall out, and it is best to have a showdown of the century.

In Yang Hao's previous life, the two had a falling out.

Now, Yang Hao just gave him a little push.

After all, it was only a matter of time before the two of them fell out.

The president of FIFA is considered the emperor of world football.

If you want to put it this way, Platini is the prince appointed by the emperor.

How many emperors in the past dynasties were able to confide in the prince without reservation?

Isn't it more that the emperor is obsessed with power and is always wary of the prince?

The relationship between Blatter and Platini is like this to a certain extent.

As long as the conflict between the two gets bigger and bigger, the fortress breaks down from the inside, and all the problems are exposed, then the good days of FIFA and UEFA will be over.

……

Before the award ceremony began, Platini went to find others to "solicit" opinions.

Blatter, accompanied by Zheng Mengzhun, came over and chatted with Yang Hao for a few words, nothing more than praising Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid, and at the same time expressing his support for Atletico Madrid and La Liga.

At the same time, he mentioned the original conflict between La Liga and UEFA regarding the exclusivity agreement for the Champions League. He was firmly on the side of La Liga.

Of course Yang Hao would not believe him, but he immediately expressed his gratitude to FIFA and Blatter.

When Blatter mentioned that there were a lot of news about the FIFA Ballon d'Or merger in the outside media, Yang Hao said that he had not heard similar rumors in the circle.

The merger of awards is a matter between FIFA and French Football Magazine. After the merger, the most authoritative award in world football was born. This is a good thing for football practitioners.

Yang Hao also specifically mentioned the Coach of the Year, believing that this is recognition of the head coach's work and a historic improvement.

Blatter is of course very satisfied with Yang Hao's statement.

With Yang Hao's current influence in world football, if he stands up to oppose it, FIFA will have a headache.

"I can reveal in advance that the first FIFA Men's Football Coach of the Year is none other than you!" Blatter deliberately sold a favor.

Yang Hao quickly thanked him, but was secretly amused in his heart.

Do you think I'm stupid for selling favors?
If you have the ability, why don’t you give me a try?

After Blatter got the answer he wanted and left with satisfaction, Yang Hao looked at the old man's back, then looked at Platini who was "chatting" with Wenger in the distance, and was secretly amused.

Fight!

Hurry up and fight harder!
You two had better dig out all the insider trading and all the dirty information!
At that time, all powers of FIFA and UEFA will be limited and restricted.

With the current status and influence of Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid, they can stay aloof and wait for the opportunity.

……

This year's awards ceremony was broadcast simultaneously in more than 160 countries, making it an unprecedented event.

The scale has naturally increased accordingly.

After the opening, there was a wonderful performance, which raised the atmosphere of the opera house to a high level.

Then Van Basten came forward to present the annual best team jointly launched by FIFA and the International Professional Footballers Association.

This selection was founded in 2005 and is now in its 6th year. It is voted by 5 members of the International Professional Players Association in a secret manner.

Goalkeeper: Casillas;

Defence: Puyol, Ramos, Pepe and Alves;

Midfield: Xabi Alonso deep, Iniesta and Kaká in the centre;

Forwards: Ronaldo, Torres and Messi.

Judging from the list, there are a total of 7 Spanish players, including the naturalized Pepe.

Thiago Silva was also a popular candidate for the finals, but unfortunately, Ramos and Pepe were the main players in Spain's World Cup victory, so they beat Thiago Silva and Lucio to be shortlisted. Best lineup.

It is worth mentioning that the players selected for the best team of the year were notified early, so basically all came to the scene, except Ronaldo.

The reason the Portuguese did not come to the scene was that he was injured.

Of course, as to whether he was actually injured, who knows?

The Fair Play Award was then awarded to the Haitian U17 women's football team. The reason was that their coach was killed in the earthquake in January 10, but the women's football girls still participated in the U1 World Youth Championship qualifiers and won applause from the fans.

The Women's Football Coach of the Year went to Ned.

The subsequently awarded Men's Football Coach of the Year was given to Yang Hao.

This is basically without any controversy or suspense.

According to the vote rate announced by FIFA, Yang Hao is far ahead with 78% of the vote.

In other words, from the second place onwards, the total sum is less than half of Yang Hao's.

Moreover, whether it is the head coach's vote rate, the captain's vote rate, or the media's vote rate, Yang Hao deserves to be the first, which proves the authority of Yang Hao's award.

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

The third to last award is the Puskas Award.

This award was established in 2009 and this year is the second time. The competition is very fierce.

Before the Madrid derby, the biggest favorite was Altintop's wonderful super volley in Turkey's European Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan on September 9.

But after the Madrid derby, Messi's wonderful super kick became famous and won more and more recognition and applause. The votes on FIFA's official website also skyrocketed like a rocket.

In the end, FIFA awarded the Puskas Award to Messi.

Interestingly, the presenter was Casillas, who had just won the goalkeeper position in the best team of the year and was scored by Messi in the Madrid derby.

The Real Madrid captain specifically commented on this goal before presenting the award.

"This is one of the most beautiful goals I've ever seen in my career."

Casillas said that when Messi scored, he and all his teammates did not expect that he could directly hit the goal, which surprised everyone.

More importantly, Messi suppressed the ball and shot from a very tricky angle.

"There's nothing we all can do!"

On the big screen behind Casillas, Messi's goal video and slow-motion replays were repeatedly played in a loop, allowing everyone to clearly see the difficulty of this goal.

When Messi went on stage to receive the award, he expressed his gratitude to his teammates.

"This goal is not my fault alone, but the result of the joint efforts of everyone in the team."

The Argentinian's humility won him applause from the audience.

The Miss World Football award was then given to Marta from Brazil.

This is the fifth time Marta has won Miss World Football. His vote rate reached 5%, far ahead of Prinz's 38.2%, and he is well-deserved for the award.

At the end of the awards ceremony, as the grand finale, the much-anticipated FIFA Ballon d'Or was jointly presented by French Football Magazine CEO Molinier and FIFA President Sepp Blatter.

This also shows the importance both parties attach to this award.

Both Blatter and Molinier said that through this cooperation, both parties hope to make the FIFA Ballon d'Or the most authoritative and influential award in world football.

For the three candidates shortlisted this year, whether it is Kaka, Torres or Messi, they have all performed well in the club and national team.

"These three players are all from Atletico Madrid!"

Molinier's words caused a burst of overwhelming cheers.

Atletico Madrid's influence in current world football can be said to be pivotal.

If nothing else, how many stars have Atletico Madrid produced in the past decade or so?
How many stars has Yang Hao trained for Spain, Brazil, and European football?

Finally, under the spotlight, Molinier finally took out the card with the name of the winner and announced the final suspense loudly in front of everyone present.

"The winner of the first FIFA Ballon d'Or in 2010 is..."

Although, before this, Yang Hao had always felt that no matter who won the award, it was Atletico Madrid who won the award anyway, so it didn't matter.

But when it came to this moment, he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Was it Kaka who created the legend?

Or will Torres win again?
Or maybe Messi finally got what he wanted?
At this moment, Yang Hao felt really uneasy.

Everyone present was obviously equally nervous.

"...Lio Messi!"

When Molinier yelled out this name with all his strength, everyone in the audience stood up in unison and gave extremely warm applause and cheers.

Tonight, the golden ball belongs to Atletico Madrid!
Messi was so excited that he jumped up from his seat, turned around and hugged Antonella next to him, and then hugged Kaká and Torres to accept their congratulations.

Both Kaká and Torres smiled and congratulated Messi.

Later, Messi hugged Ramos, Pepe, Alves, Xabi Alonso and Iniesta and other teammates one by one.

Before going on the field, he even ran over and hugged Yang Hao.

When he hugged Yang Hao, the live broadcast camera also switched over.

Everyone saw the tears on Messi's face and the constant thank you to Yang Hao in his mouth.

Without Yang Hao, there would be no Messi today!
It was Yang Hao who took him out of the slums in Argentina, it was Yang Hao who helped him treat his illness, it was Yang Hao who carefully trained him for many years, and it was Yang Hao who invested his incomparable patience and trust in him, who finally made Messi what he is today!

The Argentinian hugged Yang Hao and did not let go for a long time.

The applause in the opera house also lasted for a long time, and even became more and more enthusiastic.

Everyone knows the story of Messi and Yang Hao, and naturally understands the master-disciple relationship between them.

At this moment, it is not the omnipotent Messi on the football field who is hugging Yang Hao tightly.

He is a child trained by Yang Hao.

Son of Atletico Madrid!
