Titan Sports Weekly front-page headline—The 2020 World Footballer of the Year award ceremony would be held on December 17 and conducted via video conference.
"Of the three final candidates, only the winner needs to travel to Switzerland in person. The other two candidates will witness the winner being announced through video calls."

Stop guessing. It's definitely King Tang's. If it isn't King Tang, FIFA can be blacklisted. They didn't give him the Ballon d'Or, but they put him in the final stage for World Footballer of the Year and still won't give it to him? That would be outright targeting, wouldn't it?
Poor Lewandowski. I actually thought he had a good chance of winning World Footballer of the Year once.

Messi-Ronaldo's combined vote count couldn't even beat Tang Ye's. How could the so-called "Messi-Ronaldo era" continue like that?
For some fans who had only started watching football in 2017 or
