Since the Christmas holiday, the media has begun to focus on another matter.
That is the fixed repertoire of international football at the end of each year - various awards.
For the players, after working hard for a year, this is the time to reap personal honors.
For fans, this is an opportunity to see whether the players they support can reach the top. If the players they support can become the number one in the world, they will also feel very honored.
The so-called mutual prosperity, mutual loss, this relationship is vividly reflected in fans and their idols.
In addition, for coaches, this is also an award worthy of attention, because if one of their players can win the award, it means that they are good at coaching.
This is also your own achievement.
As early as early December, the media began to hype the candidates for this FIFA Ballon d'Or.
2010 was the first time that FIFA cooperated with "France Football" magazine to merge the original "World Player of the Year" and "Ballon d'Or" into one award, that is, the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
The selection method is still the same as before, with voting by the national team head coach and captain, as well as voting by a group of media reporters led by "France Football".
In the end, the one with the highest total score won the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
In early December, "France Football" magazine announced the top three candidates for this year's Ballon d'Or.
Among them, two Barcelona finalists are Messi and Iniesta, who scored the winning goal in the World Cup final.
There is one person on Lazio's side who is shortlisted, and that is the double champion David Silva, who has won the Champions League and World Cup.
Harvey ranked fourth and failed to make the final three-man list.
The media are speculating that this FIFA Ballon d'Or award should be born between two teammates of the Spanish national team.
At the same time, David Silva's chances are higher because he won a Champions League last year and is also an important member of the Spanish national team's midfield.
In terms of honors, he definitely has more than Iniesta.
And Iniesta's main advantage was in the World Cup final. He scored the winning goal and became a big star.
However, in the Champions League, his performance was not very good. In a direct dialogue with David Silva, the Barcelona he played for was eliminated by Lazio.
And David Silva swept all the honors in the past year, winning six championships!
It would be strange if he couldn't beat Iniesta with such a performance.
As for Messi... Although he has won the Ballon d'Or for several consecutive years, this time, the media believe that it has nothing to do with him. On January 10 next year, he will go to the award ceremony just for fun.
On the one hand, in terms of club honors, there is only one league title and no Champions League title. On the other hand, in the national team, Argentina was eliminated by the German team 4:0 in the World Cup in South Africa. His performance throughout the World Cup was very good.
Bland. Didn't show his form at Barcelona at all, and his status in the Argentine national team is not as important as everyone thought.
There are no championships to win. And his performance in the World Cup is mediocre, which is Messi's flaw.
But Chang Sheng doesn’t see it that way.
He came from time-travel, and he knew very well who the final winner of this year's Golden Globe Award was.
He now wanted to see if this matter would change because of his presence.
After all, the history in his memory is still different from the history he lives in now.
In the same period before his crossing, neither Xavi nor Iniesta had won the Champions League, an honor that would have been theirs.
Sneijder, who has Champions League honors, has no World Cup title. The Dutch team was defeated by Spain in the final, and may have lost some points.
But it's different now. Now David Silva is a player for Lazio and a main player of the Spanish national team.
He made great contributions in the Champions League, Spain won the World Cup, and David Silva also played a major role.
In 2010, he won all seven championships.
Such performance may change history.
Chang Sheng is paying special attention to this matter right now, just like waiting for the draw after buying a lottery ticket.
After the winter break, in addition to leading team training, he basically focused on this matter.

Lazio's first game after the New Year was the 18th round of the league. They challenged Genoa away from home.
This game is the first game just after the holiday. A holiday still affects the players' condition.
So this game was not easy for Lazio at their home court.
They couldn't score a goal for a long time in the game.
Commentator Caressa said that he could tell that Lazio's players were not in good condition.
But fortunately Lazio is still very strong.
When the overall condition is not good, they still have the personal skills of their stars to rely on.
In the end, Lazio scored the only goal of the game with Klose's header.
With a qualifying goal, Lazio defeated Genoa 1:0 away from home.
Got a good start to their new year.
Lazio now has two fewer games than its other league rivals because they are playing in the Club World Cup.
However, even with two games in hand, Lazio's ranking and lead have not been affected at all.
Now after the eighteen league rounds, Lazio has played two games less and has only played sixteen league rounds. It is still ranked first with 48 points, while AC Milan, which is ranked second, has played all eighteen rounds. Their
The points are 39 points. Lazio has nine points more than them, so there is nothing to worry about.
Even if Lazio loses both of the two less games in the make-up games, Lazio still has a nine-point lead, so there is no need to worry.

Three days later, the 19th round of Serie A kicked off. Lazio defeated Lecce 3:0 at home.
In this game, the Lazio team's condition is much better than three days ago. It can be seen that the Lazio coaching staff has done a lot of targeted work.
After playing in Lecce, Chang Sheng flew to Zurich with David Silva, Jose Passarella, Modric, Gotze and other players.
They will attend the FIFA 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or Awards Ceremony held there.
Except for David Silva, several other players were selected into the FIFA Best Team of the Year.
And Chang Sheng is the three-person roster selected for the annual coach award.
Joining him on the three-man list are Spanish national team coach Vicente del Bosque and Barcelona coach Guardiola.
Among the best coaches, the only one who can compete with Chang Sheng is Del Bosque. Because he led the team to win the World Cup, while Chang Sheng is a coach who has won six championships.
Generally speaking, the media is more optimistic about Chang Sheng. After all, in terms of limelight, Chang Sheng completely beats Del Bosque.
Although Del Bosque has won a World Cup championship, in terms of the number of championships, he is not as good as a regular winner.
Moreover, in today's football world, the status of the World Cup is getting lower and lower. Football professionals pay more attention to the Champions League.
The most important thing is that the winning results are really dazzling.
Three championships in the first half, and three more championships in the second half. His Lazio remained undefeated last season and won the championship. This season is even more exaggerated. So far... they have won all!
He broke almost every record that can be broken in European football.
With such results, if he cannot be elected as the best coach, it must be a secret operation.
This is also the first time that FIFA has set up the selection of the best coach of the year, which has not happened before.
Chang Sheng himself doesn't care about this. He no longer needs to rely on awards to prove his best. The Serie A Oscars have not given him the best coach award for no reason. Now he feels that it doesn't matter. Time will tell who is the best.
Head coaches will only leave the names of championship coaches in history, and coaches selected through selection will only appear at award ceremonies, but no one will remember their names a few years later.
What he cares more about is whether David Silva can win the award, and he also hopes that David Silva can win the award, because this is the best recognition of all the hard work and sweat he has put in.
David Silva seems very excited these days. It can be seen that he is also looking forward to winning the award. After all, this is the highest praise for a player in international football.
Look at the previous Golden Globe winners, they are all world-class superstars!
If David Silva can win this award, then there is no doubt that he will become a world-class superstar from a first-class European star!
This prospect is really too tempting.
And for David Silva, this Golden Globe Award is even more special.
Because he had suffered a serious injury for most of the season before, this injury directly changed his playing style, turning him from a winger into a midfield organizer.
After many players suffer such serious injuries, it is difficult for them to return to their peak form, or even fail to recover.
But he didn't. Not only that, he also had the opportunity to stand on the pinnacle stage of a player and win the Ballon d'Or!
How difficult this is for him...
Therefore, he desires this award more than anyone else.
This award can prove that the hard work he has put in is rewarding and meaningful.
This award can encourage him to continue on this path.
This is an affirmation of his life.
In fact, he also felt that if he won this award, it would not be a big problem.
He is the Champions League champion, the World Cup champion, the league champion, the domestic cup champion, the Italian Super Cup, the European Super Cup... he even won the Club World Cup.
His performance is also very stable and he is an indispensable and important player for Lazio.
He also has excellent goals and wonderful assists, and the statistics support him winning the award.
Is there any reason not to let him win this award?
