FIFA Player Of The Year Award Announcement

Elling Hallan's father had a subtle look after the announcement of the award.

"Fans found Elling Holan's father's reaction after Lionel Messi received the FIFA Player of the Year award."

FIFA announced the 2023 Player of the Year on its official website on Wednesday. The award was decided through a vote of players who played at least 23 games from Dec. 19, 2022, to Aug. 20, 2023. Up to 28,000 players from 69 countries participated in the vote.

Hallan was a key player of Manchester City who scored a treble last season. Manchester City won the title with 38 wins, five draws and five losses in 38 games in the English Premier League. At that time, Hallan scored 36 goals and eight assists in 35 games.

Manchester City also shone in the FA Cup in England. Manchester City won 4-0 against Chelsea in the round of 64, and met Arsenal in the round of 32, and won 1-0. They reached the semi-finals by catching Bristol City in the round of 16, and Burnley in the quarter-finals.

Manchester City reached the final by defeating Sheffield United 3-0 in the semi-final. In the final, Manchester United won the trophy with a 2-1 victory over "Rival" Manchester United. At that time, Hallan contributed to the victory by scoring four goals in three games.

Manchester City was also responsible for winning the UEFA Champions League. From the round of 16, the team overwhelmed RB Leipzig with a combined score of 8-1, followed by Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Inter Milan. Hollande became the top scorer with 12 goals during the tournament.

Naturally, attention was paid to the FIFA Player of the Year award. Hallan ranked second in the 2023 Ballon d'Or voting, but he was more likely to win the FIFA Player of the Year award. It was because Hallan showed good performance in the second half of the 2022/23 season.

The hero was Messi. Hallan tied with Messi with 48 points on the ballot. But the prize went to Messi, who had more votes in the first place. 메이저사이트

After the ceremony, Holan's father's expression drew attention. Holan was invited to the ceremony and saw his son fail to win the award. He was smiling bitterly.

The Daily Mail explained, "It is debatable whether Anglinge was actually annoyed or just a facial expression. But at least it didn't seem like he was in a hurry to applaud Messi's win."
