  The final competition for the 2023 China Golden Globe Award is between Shanghai Haigang player Wu Lei, Shanghai Shenhua player Yu Hanchao and former Wuhan Three Towns player Wei Shihao.

  Wu Lei admitted frankly that he felt that he deserved the Ballon d'Or since last year. The national team's performance was not ideal. After the Super Cup defeat, he was hesitant to go to the scene to receive the award.

"I feel that anything related to football in China is not easy and there is a lot of pressure. In such a difficult moment, we need to work together to create a better environment. Thank you to every football practitioner and sincere support Fans of Chinese football.”

  The three candidates shortlisted for the China Women's Golden Globe Award are Wang Shanshan, Wang Shuang and Zhang Linyan. Zhang Linyan, who has temporarily ended her career in Europe, won the Women's Golden Globe Award for the first time.

From the World Cup to the Olympic Games, her activity in the midfield and frontcourt has changed the situation of the game many times.

Former Chinese women's football coach Shui Qingxia was invited to present the award to Zhang Linyan, and the two experienced a special "master-disciple reunion."
