Super Marshal

As an awards event that attracts real-time broadcasts in more than 150 countries and regions around the world, the FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony not only has a stylish and gorgeous venue and stage layout, but every step on the scene has been carefully choreographed.

The first to present the award was the Team of the Year, and the guest of honor was Dutch football star Van Basten.

But what's interesting is that only the men's football team has the best team of the year, but not the women's football team. Gao Han feels that this more or less reflects FIFA's different treatment of men's and women's football. After all, the men's football team can bring them more Many benefits.

Following the best team was the Fair Play Award, which was awarded to the Haiti U17 women's national team.

In the earthquake in Haiti in January 2010, the head coach of the team was killed in the earthquake, but the girls still participated in the World Youth Championship qualifiers, performed very bravely, and won unanimous recognition.

After the Fair Play Award is the Women's Football Coach of the Year. The winner is the German women's national team coach Ned, and the presenting guest is the Spanish national team coach Del Bosque.

Gao Han had worked with Ned in the German Football Association. She had also come to Bayern Munich to learn Gao Han's training. They both knew each other. Gao Han also felt that her award was well deserved.

After receiving the award for the best women's football coach of the year, Ned did not immediately step down, but continued to stay on the stage to present the best men's football coach award. For this reason, she also mentioned that she once went to Bayern Munich to learn and learn from it. Regarding the high-cold training, she said that she benefited a lot from those experiences.

"If I had to choose, I would choose Gao Han without hesitation, because in my mind, he is the best and most outstanding head coach in the world, but unfortunately, I don't know other national team coaches and captains. , and how the media choose.”

Then, the big screen behind Ned showed the top three vote-getters for the Men's Football Coach of the Year Award. They were Del Bosque, Guardiola and Gao Han. This made everyone cheer in the audience, and there were even many People were calling Gao Han's name one after another.

Ned in the stands seemed to be affected by the atmosphere, "OK, I know everyone is impatient. It seems that Gao Han has the support of the vast majority of people, so let's see now..."

With that said, she opened the golden envelope in her hand and took out a paper card with the name of the winner written on it.

"High cold!"

When Ned shouted his name loudly, Gao Han stood up slowly from his seat.

In fact, he was not surprised by this result, because since FIFA announced the candidate list, he has been the number one favorite, and it has even been widely circulated in the coaching circle that Gao Han will be elected with a surprising advantage. .

At this moment, Gao Han stood up from his seat, first hugged Bosque, Guardiola and others beside him one by one, and then bowed from a distance to the guests in the stands and the fans in front of the TV camera. Express thankfulness.

Afterwards, he quickly walked to the stands, shook hands and hugged many former players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Javi Martinez, Mascherano, Pique, Messi, etc., and finally returned to the field. Podium.

During this period, the big screen on the podium also showed the final vote count. With a vote rate of 69.9%, Gao Han was far ahead of all other candidates and was elected without any suspense. Men's soccer coach of the year.

Bosque, who is in second place, only has 8.45%, only one-eighth of Gao Han, and Guardiola, who won the Champions League championship, only has 5.12%, far behind Gao Han.

Everyone present was not surprised by such a result, because Gao Han has led many teams in the past eleven years and has never lost a single game. This is a miracle in football all over the world.

When Gao Han took the trophy from Ned's hand, he hugged Ned politely and thanked the German women's football coach for his recognition.

But when he walked up to the microphone and gave his acceptance speech, he was a little confused.

"Well...I would first like to thank many people, including my wife, children, my family and my friends. Thank you for everyone's support, which allows me to focus on my coaching work."

"I love football very, very much and I can't even imagine that if I didn't work in football I would be a useless guy because I wouldn't have any other skills."

"I am very grateful to all the players from all the teams I have coached in the past, including Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Manchester City, as well as the players at Chelsea. Without your support, I would not be where I am today. I believe that all of you will also be happy for me and I hope to share this trophy with you."

There was a burst of extremely warm applause, and everyone could feel the sincerity of Gao Han's words.

Especially when he mentioned Chelsea.

Everyone knows that Gao Han has been entangled with Chelsea for many years, and it has not been resolved even now, but he mentioned the Blues, which shows that in his mind, he no longer has any resentment towards Chelsea.

Or it should be said that he does not blame Chelsea because of past grievances.

If there is a problem, it must be that he is dissatisfied with Abramovich's management style and his brutal and arrogant attitude towards the team's head coach.

"As a head coach, I am very happy to receive the first Men's Football Coach of the Year award and I would like to proudly say to all my fellow coaches that we finally have an award of our own that is recognized around the world. "

As soon as Gao Han finished speaking, the audience burst into thunderous applause again.

In professional football, there has always been a tradition of emphasizing stars over coaches. Various selections for stars are like crucian carp crossing the river, but awards for head coaches are rare, and some are only league selections, which are simply lacking. authoritative.

But things are different now. After the merger of FIFA and the Ballon d'Or, there is finally a coach of the year award. This is undoubtedly a recognition and affirmation of the head coach's status.

"What I want to say is that the head coach is a very difficult job, but he is very important to a team. I have always said that the head coach's work should receive more and greater recognition, so I am delighted and very grateful to FIFA and France Magazine for adding such an award.”

"My biggest wish is that in future selections, the order of awarding the Best Coach of the Year can be pushed back, preferably after the Golden Globe Award..."

Gao Han's last words made everyone present burst into laughter.

"Of course, I know this is simply impossible, but I really hope that everyone can re-recognize and affirm the work of our head coach, because he is very important to the success or failure of a team."

Gao Han's words once again won him cheers from the audience.

Everyone knows that in such a grand awards ceremony, all awards are presented in order of importance and influence, so the Miss World Football Award and the Golden Globe Award are arranged for the finale.

Gao Han said that he hopes that the Coach of the Year Award can be placed further back. This is undoubtedly because he hopes to increase the understanding and recognition of the importance and influence of head coaches from all walks of life.

As the number one head coach in the world, Gao Han's words are undoubtedly very consistent with his identity and status today, and they are also a responsibility that he should shoulder.

After Gao Han finished his acceptance speech, FIFA President Blatter took the stage next. After he took the stage, he publicly responded to Gao Han's initiative, saying that FIFA would reconsider the order of the awards, and expressed his gratitude on behalf of FIFA. Gao Han’s contribution to the development of world football in the past ten years.

But Blatter definitely didn't come on stage to say this. He came up to present the FIFA President's Award.

This is a special award, somewhat similar to the Special Contribution Award, and the first winner is Tutu, the former South African Archbishop and Nobel Peace Prize winner, for his strong support of the World Cup in South Africa and his commitment to using football to improve society. Prize for life.

After the FIFA President's Award, there is the much-publicized Puskas Award, which is the award for the best goal of the year.

This award was created in 2009. The selection criteria are mainly considered in the national team's A-level competition, various continental championships and the top club leagues. The more important the event and the more exciting it is, the more likely it is to be selected.

The final winner was Altentop, who scored with a long-range volley in Turkey's European Cup qualifying match against Kazakhstan on September 3, 2010.

Interestingly, the person who presented the award to Altintop was the main goalkeeper of the Kazakhstan national team, Sidelnikov, who scored the goal at that time.

This also made everyone at the scene laugh. They didn't expect FIFA to have such a humorous side in such a serious event.

But Gao Han thought more.

In fact, he feels that the Best Men's Football Coach of the Year award should be postponed to after the Puskas Award, or even after Miss World Football, because everyone knows that the importance of the head coach to a team is constantly increasing. promote.

Whether it is Gao Han, Guardiola, or Ferguson and Wenger, in European football and even world football, an outstanding head coach can bring amazing changes to a team that lacks combat effectiveness.

But in fact, throughout the ages, the role of the head coach has never been truly recognized.

Many wealthy teams are proud of changing coaches. Cases like Ferguson and Wenger who have served as coaches of a wealthy team for a long time are very rare. Frequent coaching changes are the norm.

But behind the scenes, how many head coaches have innocently become the scapegoat for the team's unsatisfactory performance, and have suffered too much injustice for no reason? Even after many years, he is still criticized and even abused by fans.

At this moment, Gao Han suddenly realized that the Men's Football Coach of the Year Award trophy he was holding tightly in his hands was very heavy.

It was easy to receive the award, but after receiving it, he had the responsibility to do more.

If he doesn't fight for many things, the situation of other colleagues and the unfair treatment they receive will only become worse.

After the Puskas Award, the next award is given to Miss World Football.

This is almost an award without any suspense. Marta, the international player from Brazil, has won this award five times in a row. This is another award that has been judged in advance almost before the game.

After the Miss World Football award was presented, the finale of the night finally came.

Golden Globe Award!

Who among Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will have the last laugh and win the first FIFA Ballon d'Or?

As the final award presenter, Gao Han was full of curiosity, but at the same time he also felt a little pressure.
