After a month, it's time for the Golden Globes to solve the mystery.
After the third round of the FA Cup match with Manchester City, Gao Xiaodong flew with Ferguson to Zurich the next day to attend the FIFA golden ball award ceremony.
During this period of time, Manchester United showed great courage. They won all the Games in the devil's schedule at Christmas. However, Manchester City also performed well. Manchester United did not surpass Manchester City.
It's a big blow for Manchester United.
No team has put so much pressure on Manchester United since Chelsea.
Although Manchester United have not been able to surpass Manchester City in the league, they performed better in the FA Cup. They beat Manchester City 3-2 and eliminated their rivals from the oldest competition. They finally gave a bad breath for the League to lose to their opponents.
In the Club Cup, Manchester United have gained a lot.
The predecessor of the World Club Cup is the Toyota Cup, which is a confrontation between the European champions and the American champions. Later, it was transformed into a confrontation between the champions of five continents by FIFA.
Although the World Club Cup is very big in name, it is the king of the world clubs, but in fact, except for Europe and America, the clubs in other states are all vegetable chicken, and their level is not even comparable to the sub leagues of the five major leagues.
For Manchester United, what is really meaningful is a match between the final and the American team (which is basically promoted by the American Club).
Manchester United beat Asian champion al sad 5-0 in the semi-final and beat South American champion Santos 4-0 in the final to win the World Club Cup easily.
With a World Club Cup champion, Manchester United went to the award ceremony with the honor of five champions. Gao Xiaodong and Ferguson were also warmly welcomed by the fans and reporters in Zurich.
At this ceremony, eight awards will be selected, including the best team of the year, the best coach of men's and women's football, the fair play award, the FIFA president's special award, the best goal award of Puskas, the miss world football and the FIFA golden ball award.
Ferguson and Gao Xiaodong are popular candidates for golden ball award and best coach.
Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the three candidates for the golden ball award, and the best coach candidate, Jose Mourinho, both thought that they could not win the award and announced ahead of time that they would not attend the award ceremony.
Reporters and fans are very sorry about this. Before that, everyone was looking forward to the scene of Gao Xiaodong meeting with Jose, but he didn't give this opportunity.
This football feast not only gathered the best players, coaches and presidents today, but also brought awards to famous players such as Pele, Zidane, van Basten and Gullit.
The last time he attended the Golden Globe award ceremony, Gao Xiaodong was still a rising star. When he came to the hall, few people took care of him. Now, as soon as he entered the door, he became the focus. Everywhere he went, almost everyone stood up and shook hands with him, as if they were very familiar.
Fergie and guardion have come to the first row to shake hands with each other.
Although the two apprentices are competitors for the golden ball award and the best coach, they are all very gentlemanly and have a good talk after sitting down.
The grand screen of the rostrum showed the wonderful videos of the candidates for the grand prizes, and then gulit and Kay Murray, the emcees of the award ceremony, invited Pele to speak.
Pele said it was a moment for the FIFA family to feel as warm as home. Thank you to FIFA president Blatter, thank God for standing here healthy, welcome to Brazil to watch the 2014 Brazil World Cup!
Then Gullit announced the best lineup, goalkeepers are Real Madrid's Casillas, right back Alves, centre back pique, Vidic, left guard Ramos; midfielders Harvey, Iniesta and Gao Xiaodong, forwards Messi, Ronaldo and Rooney. Four Real Madrid players, Alonso, Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo, were absent from the awards, but they expressed their thanks to the fans through video.
The lineup, jointly launched by FIFA and the international professional players association, is elected by secret ballot of 55000 members of the international professional players association. In a list of 55 players, four defenders, three midfielders, three forwards and one goalkeeper were selected to form the best team of 2011.
The best 11 came from three clubs: Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United. Among them, Messi and Ronaldo, who have been selected for five consecutive years, have equalled Terry's record of five times in the best team.
Then Blatter came to power and presented the FIFA president's special award to Barcelona coach Guardiola. The third announced award is the best women's Football Coach Award. Germany's Mateus presented the trophy to Japanese women's football coach zozomuzev; former French international kalembu presented the FIFA Fair Play Award to the Japanese Football Association. After the 311 earthquake, the Japanese football team played a positive role in motivating the people on the spiritual level, so they also won this award .
In the important award of best man's football coach, Manchester United coach Ferguson beat Barcelona coach Guardiola and Jose Mourinho.
This is the first time that Ferguson has been awarded the best coach by FIFA. He is very excited about this. The manager said that it is the efforts of the players to get this award. He is 70 years old. After getting this award, even if he retires, he has no regrets.Mexican stars Sanchez and Puskas came on stage and awarded Puskas the best goal of the year to Brazilian international Neymar. In the Bajia match between Santos and flamenco, Neymar started from the left sideline, smashed the ball to get rid of the two players' defense. After hitting the wall with his teammates, he dribbled and crossed the crotch in one go. After getting rid of three defenders in a row, Neymar went into the restricted area and stabbed the ball in front of the opposing goalkeeper.
However, many fans did not think Neymar deserved the award. Most of the fans who watched the live broadcast thought it was FIFA's equalitarianism. Gao Xiaodong's goal was no worse than Neymar's, just because Gao Xiaodong was likely to win the golden ball award, he gave the Puskas award to others.
Finally, the golden ball awards and the Miss World Soccer awards were presented. Before the awards, in order to ease the tension, British pop singer James Bronte presented a song "stay the night".
After that, Shakira and Blatter jointly announced the Miss World Football award. Today, Zesuixi, who was wearing a traditional Japanese kimono to attend the ceremony, beat two competitors Mata and Wambach to be elected as Miss world football, and thus ended Brazil's star Mata's record of five consecutive winners of the award, becoming the first Asian player to win the award.
Finally, the Golden Globe Award. Although some people thought that Messi could create some suspense before, when Ronaldo announced the number of votes won by the three candidates, we realized that it was just a fantasy. Gao Xiaodong won more than 60% of the votes, which was more than the sum of Messi and Ronaldo.
Gao Xiaodong excitedly took the cup from Brazilian superstar Ronaldo and held it high above his head, just like he held up the championship cup.
Guests and reporters stood up to applaud Gao Xiaodong for his wonderful performance in the past year.
Gao Xiaodong expressed his thanks to his family, teammates and coach for the award. "I'm very happy to get this award for two consecutive years. I would like to thank all the people who support me, my family, the coach and Manchester United's good friends. The golden ball award is an honor that I have won on behalf of the team, and this honor also has their share
