Chapter 968 Thank you, boss!
"Cristiano Ronaldo!"
When the award presenter Ronaldo called out this name, the audience was in an uproar, followed by a burst of applause.
I saw the Portuguese jumping up from the seat, first tidying up his suit, hugging enthusiastically with his teammates Kaka, Xavi Alonso, Sanchez and others sitting beside him, and then took the initiative to walk to the Barcelona players Messi and Xavi and others across the aisle, hugging them one by one.
After walking down the aisle, he hugged Gao Han in the front row again, thanked him constantly, and finally walked onto the podium quickly to accept congratulations and awards from Brazilian legend Ronaldo, who had been fat for several laps.
This was the first time Ronaldo was on the same stage, especially on such a special occasion, which immediately aroused applause and cheers from countless people. Unfortunately, after Ronaldo retired, his body was fatter than before retirement, and he had long disappeared from the style of a world superstar in the past.
While Cristiano Ronaldo received the award, the big screen also scored the FIFA Golden Ball Awards this year. Cristiano Ronaldo ranked first with 47.88%, Messi followed closely with 21.6%, Xavi ranked third, 9.23, and Kaka ranked fourth with 6.01.
Paris Saint-Germain also had two players shortlisted, Suarez ranked sixth and Neymar ranked tenth.
In addition to their performance in the national team, this also has its outstanding performance at Paris Saint-Germain in the past six months, which has won them recognition and recognition from more people.
Everyone thinks it is normal for this vote ranking. After all, Manchester City's performance in last season was indeed too dazzling. Cristiano Ronaldo scored so many goals, whether it is from the scene or from personal data, the Portuguese deserves the award.
When the Portuguese walked to the microphone, the Grand Theater calmed down again.
Although it was the second time he won this award, he still looked very excited and kept thanking everyone. He said that he played in a dreamy team, which basically dispelled the outside world's remarks that he might leave Manchester City.
After thanking everyone, Cristiano Ronaldo paused for a moment, looking at the trophy he held tightly in his hand, he came to the microphone again, but his eyes were staring straight at Gao Han in the front row of the stand below.
"At this moment, I want to share this award with the boss I respect most." Cristiano Ronaldo pointed at Gao Han and said sincerely, "Here, I want to say to him again, thank you, boss."
There was a burst of thunderous applause from the audience.
"I used to be a somewhat withdrawn and overly self-centered person. I never thought I could stand here. My biggest wish at that time was to play professional football so that I could get a huge income and support my favorite family, but I encountered many difficulties."
"It was you who brought me to Atletico Madrid, it was your help and guidance that made me recognize my own path; it was you who brought me to Inter Milan, you gave me the first chance to step on this stage; it was you who brought me to Manchester City in the Premier League, you made me walk here again and again."
"In my mind, you are the best and best head coach in the world. Without you, I would not have everything I have today, including the Golden Globe Award in front of me. Thank you, boss!"
After saying that, amid the thunderous applause of the audience, Cristiano Ronaldo quickly walked off the podium, walked to Gao Han, and gave him a heavy hug, allowing him to hold the Golden Globe trophy with him and accept photos from media reporters all over the world.

…………
Gao Han won the best male football coach of the year for the rest of the year!
Cristiano Ronaldo won the FIFA Golden Ball Award again!
Two pieces of news quickly spread to every corner of the earth and became a hot topic of discussion among countless media reporters and fans.
Although many people are still quarrel about which one is more worthy of this award, Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, but more people are still praising and affirming the achievements made by Gao Han and his apprentice.
The heavy triple crown is something that no one can ignore in this small year of football in 2011.
But after receiving the award from Zurich, Gao Han quickly traveled with Neymar and returned to Paris.
Entering January, the African Cup is about to ignite the war. Drogba and Yaya Toure, two African generals, are forced to go to Africa to serve the king, and it will take at least one month to go there, so Paris Saint-Germain must make adjustments in the midfield and frontcourt.
After Gao Han returned to Paris, the team ushered in the French Cup.
According to convention, Ligue 1 teams can directly start from the third round of knockout round, so they entered the quarterfinals of 64 knockout round in the first French Cup. The opponent is an amateur team called Saint-Colomban.
Since it was the first game after the winter break, Gao Han also attached great importance to the game. His opponents were not strong, but his away conditions were very bad, especially the venue, which was very bad, which was very unfavorable to Paris Saint-Germain's style of playing.
Gao Han allowed Suarez to be the center position, Neymar and veteran Jiuli were separated from the wings, the midfield was a combination of Pastore and Kabaye, Pirlo still dragged the back, the defense was a combination of Kurzawa, Mamadu Sarco, Thiago Silva and Oliye, and the goalkeeper was Courtois.
But the game was not going well, especially in the first half.
Gao Han arranged Pastorre and Kabaye in the hope of firmly controlling the ball and planning the attack continuously, but due to various reasons, his performance was very unsatisfactory. Jiuli failed to show the threat he deserved on the right.
In the second half, Gao Han quickly made a substitution, replaced Juli with Lucas Mora and replaced Kabaye with Matuidi, making the ball more straightforward and simpler.
As a result, in the 53rd minute, Matuidi scored a goal.
In the 72nd and 85th minutes, Suarez and Thiago Silva both scored goals one after another.
In the end, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Saint-Coromban away from home and successfully advanced.
But this game also exposed problems, that is, the right attack on the frontcourt is still very problematic.
Azpilicueta has both offense and defense, and his offensive support to the right of the frontcourt is not as strong as Marcelo on the left. With Drogba absent and Suarez moved to the middle, Juli is already old. Lucas Mora's ability to dribble and break through the ball is indeed excellent, but his scoring ability is not strong.
This made Paris Saint-Germain's right-hand attack a problem.
A week later, the team ushered in the 20th round of Ligue 1, with the opponent Toulouse.
At the Princes Park Stadium, Gao Han once again arranged the frontcourt combination of Neymar, Suarez and Lucas Mora, and Pastorre continued to partner with Cabaye. This time the effect was significant. The team firmly controlled the ball and planned a continuous offensive.
Suarez scored twice, Neymar made a pass and shot, and Pastore scored a goal. In the end, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Toulouse four-to-zero at home, winning a wonderful home offensive game.
But after the game, Gao Han still said in an interview with the media that his team has not reached its best condition.
With Paris Saint-Germain's possession rate of 67% in this game, if the opportunity was better in the frontcourt, it would probably be a hearty victory without scoring only four goals.
As for the reason, the ball is slow when it reaches the frontcourt wings. Neymar or Lucas Mora are a bit too sticky, which is not a good phenomenon.
A week later, the fourth round of the French Cup knockout round was once again. The opponent was still on the low-level Salter River. Neymar and Suarez both scored twice, defeating Salter River Riverside 4-0 away.
Three consecutive games, scoring eleven goals and conceded zero goals, Paris Saint-Germain started the second half very well.
But just when everyone thought that Paris Saint-Germain was going to continue its hot state, Paris Saint-Germain encountered a tenacious sniper from Brest in the 21st round of the Ligue 1.
The 11th Ligue 1 team is the best defensive team in the league this season, but their biggest problem is that their offense is worse, and their tenacious defense has caused considerable trouble for Paris Saint-Germain in the game.
But in the end, Paris Saint-Germain relied on the opening round of attacks, Marcelo scored in the sixth minute and helped Paris Saint-Germain score three points, continuing to maintain a record of winning streak in Ligue 1.
Regarding the long-term advantage in this game but never being able to break Brest's goal, Gao Han expressed a little disappointed in an interview with the media after the game. He also frankly stated that Paris Saint-Germain does have some problems, such as after Drogba left, Suarez moved to the middle and the attack on the right became a big problem.
"We need to make our offense more efficient, especially after the ball enters the 30-meter area, we need to play more concisely and more deadly."
This was interpreted by the media as Gao Han was dissatisfied with the performance of three players including Neymar, Pastorre and Lucas Mora, especially Pastorre and Lucas Mora, who made too many mistakes in the game and performed relatively sluggishly.
Neymar and Marcelo on the left are the most threatening offensive lines that Paris Saint-Germain plays. Both Brazilian players have super personal abilities and are teammates of the national team. They cooperate very well, which makes Paris Saint-Germain's left almost invincible.
But Gao Han also said at the end of the interview that the players in the team are generally young and have considerable potential to be explored. He also firmly believes that players can quickly adjust their playing style, better integrate into the team, and adapt to the football environment of the Ligue 1 and European football.
Gao Han's remarks after the game attracted widespread attention from the media and stimulated the atmosphere within the team.
In the 22nd round of the Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain played against Ivern at home, but the first half was still 0 to zero. As soon as the second half began, Ivern took advantage of a mistake by Paris Saint-Germain, and midfielder Solin assisted Kambang to score a goal.
After that, Paris Saint-Germain played passively, Gao Han was forced to make substitutions, Matuidi replaced Pastore and formed a midfielder with Cabaye. Especially after the 75th minute, Gao Han activated the skill card and the team pushed forward a strong attack.
In the 76th minute, Lucas Mora assisted Neymar to score a goal. Five minutes later, Lucas Mora's assist allowed Neymar to score twice, and then Neymar assisted Suarez to score a goal.
In the end, Paris Saint-Germain reversed Ivern three-to-one at home and scored another three-pointer.
But on the second day of this game, at the post-match summary meeting of Paris Saint-Germain, Gao Han severely criticized the performance of most players, including Neymar who scored twice and Lucas Mora who assisted twice, and commented on and praised several players such as Suarez and Matuidi.
Club technical director Antero Enrique also received an invitation from Gao Han and made an exception to attend the summary meeting, but did not speak. Instead, he had an exchange with Gao Han after the meeting to discuss summer transfer matters.
