From the man behind the football king to the football king.

After an opening performance, the awards ceremony officially began. The host Elba took the stage first. He first made a joke about the VAR technology that was first used in the World Cup this summer, and then a video clip brought the world back to the World Cup in Russia in the summer.

This video is a wonderful edit of the entire World Cup, from the group stage to each knockout round, all the way to the final World Cup where Portugal defeated France to win the cup.

The difference of this award ceremony can also be seen from this clip.

The selection period for this awards ceremony is the 2017-2018 season, which is completely different from previous years.

准确的来说，对男足的评选周期是从2017年的8月，到今年7月15日世界杯决赛这个阶段。而对女足则是从2017年8月到2018年的8月。

And because of the World Cup, the players' performance during the World Cup still has a great impact on the selection results.

When the award ceremony officially began, the various awards were gradually announced.

The first award is the Puskas Trophy, or the Best Goal Award.

There are a total of 2018 candidates for the 10 Puskas Award, including Bale, Ronaldo, Cheryshev, Pavard, Christodoulopoulos, Alaskeita, McGregor, Yossi, Quaresma and Salah.

Before the awards were announced, hostess Bonner interviewed many of the players and guests present at the event, asking them for their opinions on the best goal.

Finally, the male host Elba invited two award presenters, former Chelsea legendary striker Drogba and actor Gallagher, to announce the award. Bruno's friend, Liverpool striker Salah's goal received 38% of the votes and was successfully elected as the 2018 FIFA Puskas Award.

Salah walked up to the podium, made a brief speech, and then walked down the podium.

It is worth mentioning that thanks to his outstanding performance at Liverpool last season, Salah was also selected into the top ten of this season's World Footballer of the Year, but the specific ranking has not yet been announced, but it should be between third and fifth.

………………

The next award to be announced was the Coach of the Season Award.

The Portuguese became the biggest winners of this award, because two of the top three finalists were Portuguese, and they were the two with the highest chance of winning the award.

Santos, the head coach of the Portugal national team and the World Cup champion coach, was undoubtedly selected. Mourinho led Manchester United to win six titles including the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, European Super Cup and Community Shield in the 2017-2018 season, creating the first record in the history of world football to remain unbeaten in all official competitions in a season. This is unprecedented and it may be difficult to find a successor.

What is most amazing is that this record is still continuing. Until today's FIFA awards ceremony, Manchester United has extended this unbeaten record to 78 games.

Under such circumstances, Mourinho is naturally recognized by the whole world, and his position as the world's top coach is as stable as a rock.

The two Portuguese head coaches, one is a World Cup champion, and the other is the undisputed number one coach in today's world football. Whoever wins the award in the end is fully convincing.

But it is also because of this that no one can know who the winner is before the final result is announced.

The third person selected is World Cup runner-up and French team coach Didier Deschamps.

Compared with the two Portuguese players, Deschamps seems to be more like a runner-up. Whether it is Santos or Mourinho, the advantage over Deschamps is too obvious.

And tonight, it’s time to reveal the final results.

At the invitation of the host, the award presenter, former Arsenal legendary coach Arsene Wenger, came on stage and announced the final result. Portugal national team coach Fernando Santos defeated his compatriot Jose Mourinho and was elected the 2018 FIFA Best Coach.

In the year of the World Cup, the impact of the World Cup on various awards is really huge!

………………

After the Best Men's Football Coach Award was announced, the Best Men's Football Goalkeeper Award was announced soon after. World Cup Golden Glove Award winner Courtois, World Cup champion goalkeeper Patricio, and Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea were shortlisted in the top three.

The award presenter, former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, announced the final winner. Last season's Premier League Golden Glove Award winner and six-time goalkeeper David De Gea defeated his rivals Thibaut Courtois and Patricio to win the award.

In the 2017-2018 season, De Gea had an amazing performance at Manchester United. He made 34 clean sheets in 21 Premier League appearances, tying the record of clean sheets in a single season in Manchester United's Premier League history set by Edwin van der Sar in the 2008-2009 season. Even in the entire history of the Premier League, De Gea's performance is second only to the record of 2004 clean sheets in a single season set by Czech goalkeeper Cech in the 2005-24 season.

When Van der Sar handed the best goalkeeper trophy to De Gea, the whole audience burst into applause.

In a sense, this is also the true handover between the two Manchester United goalkeepers.

Then, the best women's football coach of the year was won by Lyon women's football coach Pedros, who defeated Japanese women's football coach Takakura Asako and Dutch women's football coach Wegman. Last season, he led Lyon women's football to win the Women's Football Champions League.

As awards such as the Best Fan Award, Best Newcomer Award, Fair Play Award, and World Footballer of the Year are announced one by one, the climax of the game is about to arrive.

The Best Fan Award was won by Peruvian fans, the Fair Play Award went to Renateti, the Best Newcomer Award was no surprise, Bruno's Manchester United teammate Kylian Mbappe was elected without any suspense, and the World Footballer of the Year was won by Brazilian star Marta, which was the sixth time she won the award in her career.

Manchester United is undoubtedly the big winner tonight. De Gea was selected as the best goalkeeper and was naturally shortlisted for the best team. In the defense line, Luke Shaw and Maguire, the English defenders, were both shortlisted for the best defender, forming a four-man defense with Pepe and Alves. In the midfield, Bruno and Kante occupied two of the three midfielders, and the remaining one was Modric. In the forward line, Harry Kane and Ronaldo were selected, and the remaining one was not Yosi as everyone imagined, but Liverpool striker Salah.

Such a result made Yosi fans all over the world very disappointed. They had never expected that Yosi would not only fail to make the top three list of the FIFA World Footballer of the Year, but was not even selected for the best 11-man lineup.

………………

After Mata was elected World Footballer of the Year, the only suspense left in tonight's awards ceremony is who will eventually become this year's World Footballer of the Year.

According to the final three-person list announced earlier, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, Portugal national team captain Cristiano Ronaldo, and Manchester United striker Harry Kane were selected.

In fact, although the result has not been announced, everyone already knows it.

Sure enough, when Infantino called out Bruno's name, the whole theater burst into warm applause.
