Chapter 878 Gao Han's Wish

As an awards ceremony that has attracted real-time broadcasts from more than 150 countries and regions around the world, the FIFA annual awards ceremony is not only arranged in a fashionable and gorgeous manner, but every step on the scene is carefully arranged.

The first to present the award was the best team of the year, and the award presenter was Dutch football legend Van Basten.

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

The Fair Competition Award was awarded immediately after the best team, and the Haiti U17 Women's Football National Team was awarded.

In the Haiti earthquake in January 2010, the team's head coach 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 Competition Award is the Best Women's Football Coach of the Year, the winner is the head coach of the German women's national football team, and the guest presents the Spanish national team coach Bosque.

Gao Han once dealt with Ned in the German Football Association. She also came to Bayern Munich to study Gao Han's training. Both of them knew each other. Gao Han also deserved her award.

After receiving the Best Women's Football Coach of the Year Award, Ned did not step down immediately, but continued to stay on stage and awarded the Best Men's Football Coach Award. For this reason, she also mentioned that she had once visited Bayern Munich to study and learn from high-altitude training, and said that those experiences benefited her a lot.

"If I had chosen, I would have chosen Gao Han without hesitation because in my mind, he is the best and best head coach in the world, but unfortunately, I don't know how the head coaches and captains of other national teams, and the media chose it."

Then, the top three votes in the Best Men's Football Coach of the Year Award were played on the big screen behind Ned, namely Bosque, Guardiola and Gao Han, which made everyone cheer, and many people even called Gao Han's name.

Ned in the stands seemed to be infected by the atmosphere on the scene, "Okay, I know everyone is a little impatient. It seems that Gao Han has also received the support of the vast majority of people, so let's take a look now..."

As she said that, she took apart the golden envelope in her hand and took out a card from it with the name of the winner.

"Gaohan!"

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

In fact, he was not surprised by this result, because he has been the number one hottest since FIFA announced the candidate list, and it has been widely circulated in the coaching circle, and 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 far away to the guests in the stands and the fans in front of the TV camera to express his gratitude.

After that, he quickly walked to the stands, shook hands and hugged many former players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Xavi Martinez, Mascherano, Pique, Messi, etc., and finally returned to the podium.

During this period, the big screen on the podium also scored the final votes. Gao Han was far ahead of all other candidates with a vote rate of up to 69.9%, and was elected as the best male football coach of the year without any suspense.

Bosque, who was second, only 8.45%, only one-eighth of Gao Han, and Guardiola, who won the Champions League championship, was only 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 even a single game. This is a miracle in the world football world.

When Gao Han took the trophy from Ned, he hugged Ned politely, thanking the German women's football coach for his affirmation.

But when he walked to the microphone and delivered his speech on the award, he was a little confused.

"Uh... I want to thank many people, including my wife, children, my family and my friends, for their support, so that I can devote myself to the coaching work without distraction."

"I love football very, very much, very much, and I can't even imagine that if I didn't work in football, I might be a guy with nothing, because I don't have any other skills."

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

An extremely warm applause sounded at the scene, and everyone could feel the sincerity of Gao Han's words.

In particular, he also mentioned Chelsea.

Everyone knows that Gao Han and Chelsea have had many years of grudges and entanglements, and even though they have not yet been resolved, he mentioned the Blues, which shows that in his mind, there is no resentment towards Chelsea.

Or it should be said that he does not blame Chelsea for his past grudges.

If there is a real knot, it must be that he is unhappy with Abramovich's management style and his barbaric and arrogant attitude towards the team's head coach.

"As a head coach, I am very happy to receive the first male football coach of the year. I want to proudly tell all my head coaches that we finally have an award that is recognized by our own world."

As soon as Gao Han finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out again at the scene.

In professional football, there has always been a tradition of focusing on stars and neglecting coaches. Various selections of stars are like cross-border, but the awards for head coaches are rare, and some are just league selections, which lack authority at all.

But now it’s different. After the merger of FIFA and the Golden Ball Awards, there was finally a coach of the year. This is undoubtedly a recognition and affirmation of the head coach’s status.

"I want to say 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 job should be more and more recognized, so I am very happy and thankful to FIFA and French magazine for adding such an award."

"My biggest wish is to push the award order of the Best Head Coach of the Year in future selections, and it is best to arrange it after the Golden Globes..."

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

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

Gao Han's words once again won him cheers and cheers.

Everyone knows that at such a grand awards conference, all award orders were arranged according to importance and influence, so Miss World Football and the Golden Globes were arranged to appear at the finale.

Gao Han said that he hopes that the Best Coach of the Year Award can be arranged further backwards, which undoubtedly means that he can enhance the awareness and affirmation of the importance and influence of the head coach by all sectors of society.

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

After Gao Han finished his speech on receiving the award, he followed him on stage with FIFA President Blatt. After he took office, he publicly responded to Gao Han's initiative, saying that FIFA will reconsider the order of awards, and on behalf of FIFA, he thanked Gao Han for his contribution to the development of world football in the past decade.

But Blatter was definitely not going to do this to say, he came up to award the FIFA President's Award.

This is a special award, somewhat similar to the Special Contribution Award, and the first winner was former South African Archbishop and Nobel Peace Prize winner Tutu, who won the award for his strong support for the South African World Cup and his commitment to using football to enhance social life.

After the FIFA President Award, there is the highly-attended Puskas Award, which is the Best Goal of the Year Award.

This award was founded in 2009, and the selection criteria are mainly considered in national team A-level competitions, continental championships and club top leagues. The more important the event is, the more exciting the more you can be elected.

The final winner was Altentop, who scored a long-range goal in the European Cup qualifiers against Kazakhstan on September 3, 2010.

Interestingly, the award for Altentop Grand was Sidrnikov, the main goalkeeper of the Kazakh national team who was scored by him at the time.

This also made everyone at the scene laugh. I didn't expect that FIFA would have such a humorous side in such a serious grand event.

But Gao Han thought more.

In fact, he felt that the Best Men's Football Coach of the Year Award should be delayed 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.

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

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

Many giant teams are proud of changing coaches. There are very few cases like Ferguson and Wenger who have been the head coach of a giant team for a long time, and it is normal to change coaches frequently.

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

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

It is easy to receive the award, but after receiving the award, he has the responsibility to do more.

If he doesn't even fight for many things, the unfair treatment he receives in other colleagues will only be worse.

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

This is almost a very suspenseless award. Brazil's international player Mata won this award five times in a row, which is another award that was decided in advance almost before the competition.

After awarding the Miss World Football Award, we finally ushered in the finale of tonight.

Golden Globe Award!

Who can laugh to the end and win the first FIFA Golden Ball Award?

As the final guest of the awards, Gao Han was also full of curiosity, but at the same time he felt a little pressure.
Chapter completed!
