Messi went on to say: "I was not lucky enough in the World Cup, but this experience is also valuable and Spain deserves to win the championship. The reason why I can participate in this award ceremony is thanks to the support of everyone, including Rama Everyone in West Asia and Barcelona. They did everything for me and they gave me the chance to get what I wanted."
Then, Messi's highlight video began to be played in the stadium.
Finally, all award-winning players took the stage to express their thanks, marking the successful conclusion of this FIFA annual awards ceremony.
Xiao Yu was not surprised that Messi won this year's Ballon d'Or.
In his previous life, he won an unprecedented 8 Golden Globe Awards, unmatched by anyone.
Although it was different from what public opinion expected, Messi, who returned disappointed from the World Cup in South Africa, was elected to the Ballon d'Or for the second consecutive year due to his perfect performance in Barcelona in 2010.
Not only was he the winner of the last "European Ballon d'Or", he also became the winner of the first FIFA Ballon d'Or.
A disappointment in a competition cannot cover up Messi's dazzling light. In terms of personal performance alone, the Argentine superstar is indeed the best among the top three in the Ballon d'Or. His goals and assists data are close to perfect. The difference is just one. Just a World Cup champion.
After the award ceremony, everyone attended the dinner.
At the dinner, Messi toasted Xavi and apologized for stealing the Ballon d'Or from Xavi.
Xiao Yu and Ronaldo were sitting together and chatting.
Ronaldo handed Xiao Yu a glass of juice and frankly stated that he was here as a lobbyist.
Obviously, Mourinho has not given up the idea of letting Xiao Yu go to Real Madrid.
Although Xiao Yu has always had a "dream of being an emperor", he has not yet achieved significant results at Chelsea, and Anshuai is also very good to him, so he does not want to leave at this time.
However, the media could no longer participate in what happened during the banquet, and major media also chose to issue reports during this time:
·Messi’s circle released a speech: Thank you everyone, I am very happy

Pique said Messi can win more golden goals, Cassie: The Spaniard is disappointed
There is really a lot of news today, and it takes up a lot of space. After all, it is the award ceremony for the highest honor in the football world, and this is understandable.
After the ceremony, Xiao Yu found out that the only media judge in China didn't even vote for him, and he couldn't help but sigh.
After leaving Zurich, Xiao Yu also searched for news about the Golden Globe Awards on his mobile phone. A literacy article about the difference between the old and new Golden Globe Awards caught Xiao Yu's attention.
Compared with the previous European Ballon d'Or, this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or has many key changes.
First of all, compared with the 30-person shortlist for the European Ballon d'Or, there are only 23 finalists this year.
Secondly, compared with the European Golden Globe Award and FIFA World Player of the Year, the judging panel of the FIFA Golden Globe Award has merged the two and expanded the judging panel. It is divided into three parts, and the scoring ratio is 1/3. :
1. Football reporters from 208 media around the world - "France Football" count the votes.
2. FIFA counts the votes for the national team coaches of the 208 associations under FIFA.
3. FIFA counts the votes for the captains of the national teams of the 208 associations under FIFA.
Third, voting options decrease.
In the past European Ballon d'Or selection, the judges could fill in the names of 5 people in order on the ballot, ranking them by 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 points respectively.
For the merged FIFA Ballon d'Or, the judges will only select three people, ranked by 5, 3, and 1 points, which is the same as the previous FIFA World Player of the Year selection method.
This selection criterion is not specifically formulated for Messi, Xiao Yu, Ronaldo, or any other players, but applies to all football players.
However, when Messi won the Ballon d'Or, some people began to question the fairness of this selection criterion, especially considering Xiao Yu's outstanding performance in 2010.
This year, Messi scored 60 goals and assisted 17 in 64 games, winning the La Liga championship, the Champions League semi-finals and the World Cup semi-finals; he also won the La Liga Golden Boot, European Golden Boot, Individual awards such as the Champions League Golden Boot and La Liga Player of the Year.
In comparison, Xiao Yu scored 145 goals and 16 assists in 50 games; he won the Eredivisie Championship, Dutch Cup Championship, Europa League Championship and Community Shield Championship; he also won the Eredivisie Championship He has won individual awards such as top scorer, Eredivisie MVP, Europa League Golden Boot and Europa League Best Player. The most amazing thing is that his goal number this year has reached a terrifying 145 goals. Jax scored 74 goals. After moving to Chelsea in the second half of the year, he scored 71 goals (including 9 goals in the Asian Games). He scored more than 3 goals in 33 games, including four goals, five goals, and the Europa League. A double hat-trick in the final, and an outrageous nine-day goal in the Asian Games - nine goals in a single game.
According to the new selection rules, Messi won the Ballon d'Or with 18.57% of the votes, Xavi ranked second with 16.02%, and Xiao Yu ranked third with 15.96% of the votes.
It is worth noting that if the previous Ballon d'Or election rules were followed (that is, the media vote accounted for the largest proportion), Xiao Yu's vote rate was as high as 7.79%, much higher than Messi's 4.18% and Xavi's 5.56%.
This means that if the past selection criteria are followed, this year's Golden Globe Award should go to Xiao Yu.
This result caused some controversy and doubts, especially after seeing Van Basten's comments on the selection results.
His words caused many people to question the fairness of the selection.
Although the new selection rules did not arouse dissent when they were formulated, when Messi won the Ballon d'Or, some people began to question the fairness of the selection.
Xiao Yu also wanted to see if the author was a fan of his, but in the end it turned out to be just an anonymous person. It seemed that he had just seen a forwarded article.
