Xinhua News Agency, Shanghai, February 20 (Reporter Zhu Hong) On February 20, the 2018 China Golden Globe Awards ceremony with the theme of "setting a good example of Chinese football and lighting up the road of love" ended in Shanghai. Wu Lei won the 2018 China Golden Globe Award, the Women's Golden Globe Award was won by Wang Shuang who joined the Greater Paris, and the Golden Shuai Award belonged to Li Xiaopeng, the coach of Shandong Luneng.
The award ceremony on that day was a star studded one, with former national football coach Milu, Chairman of Shanghai Football Association Zhu Guanghu, winner of the 2007 Golden Globe Award and Brazilian star Kaka, as well as the "Commander" Oscar in Hong Kong.
In 2018, the selection of China Golden Globe Awards entered its second year. Among the first five awards to be announced, Wu Lei, who led Shanghai Shanggang to win the first Chinese Super League championship in his role as the league's golden boot, won the 2018 China Golden Globe Award. Wang Shuang, who has outstanding performance in both the Chinese women's football team and Paris Saint Germain, successfully defended the women's Golden Globe Award. The Golden Shuai Award belongs to Li Xiaopeng, the local coach representative who led Shandong Luneng to the third place in the league and reached the final of the Football Association Cup.
Unlike the 2017 Golden Boy Awards, which were divided into two groups, U18 and U16, the 2018 Golden Boy Awards were restructured and only U21 was set up. The award was taken by Huang Zichang, a junior member of Jiangsu Suning Team. Shen Siming, a member of the national team of Chinese indoor five-a-side football and the core of Dalian Puqu Lake University Club, won the Golden Ball Award of Chinese five-a-side football.
In the new project of "Football · E-sports Golden Microphone Award" this year, the famous host Wang Tao, who has great recognition and popularity in both traditional football commentary and football E-sports commentary, won the Football · E-sports Golden Microphone Award. The equally outstanding E-sports Newbee team and Luneng Taishan team were equal in the selection, and won the best football E-sports club in 2018, Lu Ying from the Newbee team received the award of the best football player of the year from Kaka.
Although both Wu Lei and Wang Shuang were unable to come to the scene to receive the award in foreign wars, a "black technology" made up for Wu Lei's regret that he was unable to come to the scene in person. Using holographic projection technology, Wu Lei appeared in the center of the stage and thanked Xu Genbao, the coach who cultivated himself, Shanghai Shanggang Group Football Club and all the fans who cared about him. With the help of the China Golden Ball Award, Wu Lei and Wang Shuang, the two best players of the Chinese men's and women's football teams, also had a "dialogue across the air": Wang Shuang also challenged Wu Lei to compete with their goals and assists in 2019, and Wu Lei accepted the challenge.
The selection of China Golden Globe Awards is based on the comprehensive performance of the Chinese players, coaches and teams in the annual full series of football matches, and 100 authoritative media at home and abroad serve as the judges. The voting details are open and transparent, and the selection process is rigorous and fair, ensuring the authority and credibility of the selection.
In the evening, Sports Media and Tencent Mutual Entertainment also reached a strategic cooperation agreement on China Golden Globe Awards. The two sides signed a five-year agreement to accelerate the integration of e-sports and traditional sports and jointly build the brand of China Golden Globe Awards.
