Chapter 302 Winning the FIFA Golden Globe Award at the age of 16
After awarding the best team of the year, the next step is the best women's football coach.
After the video highlights of the three candidates were played, Brazilian national team coach Luiz Felipe Scolari served as the presenting guest and announced the name of the winner: Pia San, the coach of the U.S. women's national team who led the team to win the women's football gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics.
Dehaye won the Women's Football Coach of the Year award in 2012.
The next best men's football coach, Guardiola and Mourinho, two popular coaches in the coaching world, and Spanish coach Del Bosque, who led his team to win the 2012 European Cup, were selected into the final three candidates.
In the end, it was Del Bosque who won the 2012 Men's Football Coach of the Year award. After all, leading Spain to win an unprecedented three consecutive international championships, such a great achievement, will hardly be controversial in this 2012 European Cup year.
Other club coaches, unless they lead their teams to win triple crowns or more, cannot even compare to them.
Next, some less important awards were presented, such as the President's Special Award, the Fair Play Award, etc., and then finally it was the heavyweight Puskas' Goal of the Year Award that was announced.
The big screen played the candidate goals of Neymar, Storci and Qiao Anchen again, once again arousing applause from the guests present.
As the award guest, the famous Colombian star Carlos Valderrama took the stage and made a few remarks. He pulled out the card with the name of the winner in the envelope and said: "The winner of the 2012 Puskas Award is - Joan Chen!"
The scene immediately burst into warm applause, and the Atletico Madrid fans and Chinese fans in front of the TV were also very happy.
Qiao Anchen came on stage with everyone watching and received the Puskas Award trophy from Carlos Valderrama.
After Qiao Anchen received the trophy, Valderrama asked: "This goal happens to be the 100th goal you scored in 2012. How did you feel after scoring the goal?"
Qiao Anchen said with a smile: "I just feel so lucky that I can score such a goal. Of course, the pass from Raul Garcia in front is also crucial, just enough for me to stop the ball, turn around, and hit the goal in the air.
.”
"As for the 100 goals of the year, this is the role of the team. I want to thank all the coaches and teammates. Thank you everyone."
After Qiao Anchen received the Puskas Award, the penultimate highlight was the announcement of Miss World Football.
In the end, Wambach led the U.S. women's football team to defeat the Japanese women's football team in the 2012 London Olympics with five goals, winning the Olympic gold medal and winning the 2012 Miss Football World title.
Finally, there is the most valuable and heaviest ultimate award in today's award ceremony - the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or.
First of all, the big screen played the respective growth trajectories of Messi, Iniesta, and Qiao Anchen as well as interviews with relatives and friends, as well as a collection of highlights.
Messi's record-breaking 50 goals in La Liga, 91 goals in the year, King's Cup championship, European Golden Boot award, Iniesta's King's Cup championship, European Cup championship, Joan Chen's career debut hat trick, 7 goals in a single game in the King's Cup
, 117 goals in the year, 38 consecutive goals in La Liga, Europa League championship, Europa League Golden Boot, European Super Cup, etc. The wonderful performances of the three people throughout the year are condensed into a few minutes of highlights, which can be watched live
All the viewers in front of the TV were mesmerized and cheered, and the scene burst into rounds of applause.
After the short videos of the three candidates were played, the guest who was invited to present the ultimate year-end award was Cannavaro, the defender who had won the 2006 European Ballon d'Or and the former captain of the Italian national team.
Cannavaro stood on the podium, and the gold-plated football model was placed on the stage next to Cannavaro, which was very dazzling.
Although everyone could roughly guess who the final winner would be, everyone still held their breath, waiting for Cannavaro to pronounce the name.
Even Qiao Anchen was no exception. He clenched his hands into fists, looking forward to hearing his name from Cannavaro's mouth.
Cannavaro picked up the envelope and said: "Now, let me help you reveal the answer. The winner of the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or is..."
As the envelope was opened, Cannavaro took out the card with the name of the final winner written inside, with a smile on his face.
Cannavaro did not play a guessing game, but simply turned the card over, holding the two corners with his fingers, and showed it to the countless viewers around the world who were watching the live broadcast on site and in front of the TV in nervous anticipation.
The audience and the camera looked at each other with a smile, looking in the direction of Qiao Anchen and saying: "Qiao Anchen!!!"
Suddenly, the audience burst into thunderous applause, and Atletico Madrid chairman Enrique Cerezo even shouted "Okay" excitedly.
Qiao Anchen also felt a rush of hot blood rushing to the top of his head, making him feel a little dizzy.
Although after being possessed by the system, he knew that one day he would be able to stand on the podium of the Ballon d'Or. But when this moment really came, when he really won the FIFA Ballon d'Or at the age of 16,
, I still feel a little unspeakably excited.
After all, this is football's highest honor for an individual of the year.
Amid the warm applause of the audience, Qiao Anchen slowly stood up holding the handle of his chair, turned around, thanked all the players and guests, and then met with the nearest Messi, Iniesta, Guardiola, and Mourinho.
Rinho and others shook hands, and then slowly walked onto the podium with a pounding heart.
At this time, the guests in the first row stood up first while applauding, and then all the guests stood up to congratulate Qiao Anchen.
The TV-5 commentator shouted excitedly in the studio:
"Qiao Anchen!!!"
"It's really Qiao Anchen!!!"
"Qiao Anchen defeated Messi and Iniesta and won the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or. At the age of 16, he became the youngest winner in the history of the Ballon d'Or and the only winner under the age of 20."
"I'm afraid no one will ever break this age record."
"Everyone at the scene stood up and applauded Qiao Anchen."
"The 16-year-old Golden Globe winner is really shocking."
"But in the past year, although Qiao Anchen was new to professional football, he scored 117 goals throughout the year, becoming the first player in the history of human football to have an annual total of goals that exceeded the three-digit mark.
.”
"At the same time, Qiao Anchen also helped Atletico Madrid win the Europa League, the European Super Cup, and the Europa League Golden Boot."
"This season, Qiao Anchen also ranks first among the scorers in La Liga, the Champions League, and the Copa del Rey, and has the possibility of winning the Golden Boot in all three major competitions."
"Qiao Anchen's performance is indeed unique."
"The unexpected situation that everyone was worried about, that Qiao Anchen could not win the award because of his skin color and nationality, did not happen."
"Qiao Anchen has also become the first player in China and even Asia to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or. His award will definitely make football, the world's number one sport, more enthusiastically loved by young people in China and Asia.
"
The fifa Ballon d'Or Award was formed in 2010 by the merger of the European Ballon d'Or Award under "France Football" and the World Footballer under FIFA. The contract period is 5 years.
Therefore, in addition to Cannavaro, there were two award-presenting guests on the stage, namely the CEO of "France Football" and the president of FIFA.
Qiao Anchen first shook hands with the two biggest bosses in charge of the FIFA Ballon d'Or before taking over the heavy Ballon d'Or trophy from Cannavaro.
Then Cannavaro and the other two made room for Qiao Anchen to deliver his acceptance speech on the podium.
Qiao Anchen placed the trophy on the speaker's seat and looked at the hall full of distinguished guests below with mixed feelings in his heart.
Although since the day he became possessed by the system, he knew that one day he would stand on the podium of the Golden Globe Awards.
But winning the Ballon d'Or in his first year after being promoted to the first team was somewhat beyond his expectations.
This golden ball seems to be just his personal honor, but it has actually created the history of Asian and Chinese football, and will definitely have a huge impact on the entire Asia and Chinese domestic football.
Qiao Anchen naturally knew the meaning.
He said with some excitement:
"There is no doubt that the FIFA Ballon d'Or is the largest and most important individual ultimate award in world football."
"To be able to win the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or as a Chinese player at the age of 16, I have so many people to thank."
"First of all, I would like to thank the judges who voted for me this time. Thank you for your affirmation and support."
"Secondly, I want to thank my parents. You gave me life and raised me. I hope you will be proud of this Golden Globe Award today!"
"Of course, what I need to thank most are all my comrades who fought alongside me at Atletico Madrid!"
"Whether it's the coach or my teammates, everyone is helping me and trying their best to get the ball to my feet, which gives me more shooting opportunities. My teammates in the backcourt also try their best to defend and strive for victory."
"Whether it is my personal 117 goals in the year, or the collective Europa League and European Super Cup, it is the result of everyone's joint efforts."
"This Golden Ball is not due to me alone. It was achieved through the hard work of all the coaches and teammates in the club. Thank you all."
After a pause, Qiao Anchen finally said:
"Finally, I would like to thank all the fans and fans who support me. Thank you all for supporting me and Atletico Madrid."
"thank you all!"
Then, Qiao Anchen raised the trophy, and the audience burst into lasting applause, presenting it to Qiao Anchen, the youngest Ballon d'Or winner in football history.
