Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 109 Serie A Oscar (Third Update, Please Vote for Me!)

Chapter 109 Serie A Oscar (Third update, please vote for me!)

The "Serie A Oscar" was originally called the "Italian Players Association Annual Best Selection", but because the selection and award ceremony procedures imitated the Oscar, it was called the Serie A Oscar.

One thing can be proved - they even use the "Little Golden Man" in the form of trophies. However, the Oscar statuette has his hands crossed on his chest, while the Serie A statuette is a player doing a kicking motion.

Two-thirds of the award ceremony has been carried out, and some less important awards were given out in front of it, such as the best goal, the most popular player among fans, etc... similar to the best local player, the best foreign aid, and the best player. Of course I have to save this highlight until the end.

Chen Yingxiong hasn't gotten up yet.

The best goal went to Quagliarella, the most popular player went to Inter Milan’s Diego Milito, the best goalkeeper went to Inter Milan’s Sessel, and the best team went to Inter Milan—— Many people feel that as last season's league champion, Inter Milan should be the biggest winner tonight, right?

They already have three awards.

But that's not the case.

The best rookie award was given to Pato from AC Milan. He won this award when he was double-teamed by two Inter Milan players, Balotelli and Thornton.

This disappointed many Inter Milan fans.

Then in terms of best defender, Maicon, the best right back in world football today, also lost to Juventus center back Chiellini.

The best fans go to Sampdoria fans.

Rossetti has won the award for the best referee for three consecutive years.

The best coach gave Inter Milan fans a comfort, Mourinho won the award with no suspense.

Mazzarri, who was sitting next to Chen Yingxiong and Cassano, shrugged. He knew that he was here to serve as a foil...

The highlight finally came next.

A promotional video began to play on the big screen at the venue, which was a highlight of the three candidates.

In the video, Ibrahimovic first appeared, showing him scoring a goal during the game, accompanied by the iconic passionate shouts of Inter Milan's old commentator. After scoring, Ibrahimovic opened his arms and looked up at the sky, looking very arrogant and domineering.

Next, another foreign player was replaced, Diego Milito, also wearing an Inter Milan jersey, with the same goal video.

The last person to appear was Chen Yingxiong wearing a Napoli jersey. The clip selected was not a video of him scoring a goal, but his arrogant action of lifting up his jersey and standing in front of Mourinho to celebrate his goal.

Seeing this scene, there was a burst of laughter in the hall, and the live TV broadcast immediately gave Chen Yingxiong a close-up. Chen Yingxiong was slightly surprised. Cassano, who was sitting next to him, kept pushing him with his shoulders, winking at him and saying something, and then Chen Yingxiong laughed.

I could only see this picture on the TV, but I couldn't hear what was said.

In fact, what Cassano said was: "I think they did it on purpose!"

After the promotional videos of the three candidates were played, the beautiful host wearing a navy blue suspender dress came on stage and also invited the award presenters.

When the award presenter came on stage, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience, because the guest who came up to present the award to the best foreign player was the former famous Italian midfielder and AC Milan legend Demetrio Albertini.

Albertini held an envelope in his hand, which contained the name of the final winner.

The applause died down and the hall became quiet. Albertini held a microphone and said to the players, coaches and presidents below.

"The past year has been a passionate and exciting year for the Italian Football League. I must thank those high-level foreign players, because it is their efforts that have made the Italian Football League a great one. It has to be competitive and revitalized. In the early 1990s, our league used to be called the 'Little World Cup' because the best foreign players in the entire world were playing in our league!"

At this point, the hall burst into applause again. Albertini, who joined the Italian Football Federation after retiring, is really good at talking. He not only thanked all foreign aid, but also expressed his expectations for the revival of Serie A.

"In the past year, I am very happy to see those foreign players with high-level abilities playing in our league. These three candidates are just their representatives... The three of them are equally good, and one of them must be selected. It can be said that it is really difficult...at least I would find it difficult..."

There was laughter below.

"But just like there can only be one champion, there can only be one best. So I thought of the Golden Boot battle last season. Later, the winner hero said that he was not used to anyone sharing the honor of top scorer... Sorry, Gerard Damn, I didn’t mean to say that.” He said, winking at Ibrahimovic below.

Another burst of laughter. Live TV gave Ibrahimovic a close-up shot, and the Swede had a smile on his face and didn't seem to care. But what's in my heart... I don't know.

Similarly, the live TV broadcast also gave Chen Yingxiong a close-up. Chen Yingxiong had a smile on his face, and there was nothing unusual about it.

In fact, he felt very happy - well said, Demi!

"Now, the three of them must decide the winner. So who is the winner?" He lowered his head and began to open the envelope.

After pulling out the paper inside, he took a look at it and then put the paper back into the envelope.

He raised his head, smiled and said to everyone: "The winner is a player with great personality..."

The TV broadcast simply ignored Milito, because Diego Milito is definitely not a character player. Even Milito himself sighed softly in his heart, with a slight disappointment on his face.

He knows that the best foreign player has no fate with him, and the best player will obviously not belong to him.

Both Ibrahimovic and Chen Yingxiong definitely deserve the evaluation of "personality players".

"There was one thing I watched last season that was very enjoyable and made me full of hope for the revival of our league, because I saw the long-lost passion in it. It was not the competition for the league title, nor the competition for Champions League qualification, but the two. A duel between famous shooters!" Albertini began to tell the answer bit by bit, which not only whetted people's appetite, but also heightened the atmosphere.

"I can't remember how long it's been since I've seen such a great drama. Yes, for me, last season's top scorer battle was comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster."

Albertini paused here.

The live TV broadcast took turns to feature the faces of several people: the award guest Albertini, and the two candidates Ibrahimovic and Chen Yingxiong.

Ibrahimovic has a bad premonition - Albertini has always been talking about the top scorer, which means that the winner must be closely related to the top scorer, and individual honors are more important here than collective honors. Dominant position... In this way, if I don't win the top scorer, I can't rely on the league championship to overwhelm Chen Yingxiong.

Albertini opened his mouth again and announced the winner: "Best foreign player in Serie A in 2009 - hero!"

"Yeah!" Cassano shouted.

There was a burst of warm applause.

There was no look of surprise on Chen Yingxiong's face, as if he had expected this result. He stood up from his seat with a smile on his face and walked onto the stage with a victor's expression.

Ibrahimovic in the audience was stunned for a moment when he heard the answer, and then he applauded along with the people around him, but it was a routine matter no matter what. There was no smile on his face and he looked very serious.

He was not happy, not at all. Ibrahimovic made no attempt to hide his thoughts. He knew that the TV camera must be facing him at this time, so he tried his best to get a close-up. Then let them take pictures!

He didn't like that arrogant guy to begin with!

Arrogant and arrogant people may have this idea - it is enough for me to be a very bad person in this world, and there is no need for a second one!

So they both dislike each other.

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong walked onto the stage and stood next to Albertini. Albertini was still introducing everyone: "... He only scored six goals in the first half of the season. No one would think that this guy can get the top scorer. Even I didn’t expect…”

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

These whispers sounded like a slap in the face to Ibrahimovic - they were excitedly discussing the top scorer, but they were losing on this battlefield, and they lost at the last minute. At this moment, he became Chen Yingxiong's foil, green leaf, and background. How could Ibrahimovic, who has always been proud and arrogant, endure this kind of treatment?

You know, he is the kind of person who dares to challenge Messi's status in the team even after going to Barcelona - even if Messi is now the world's number one, he never thinks that he is inferior to Messi.

"But at the beginning of the game against Roma, he broke out. From then on, he started to get out of control. Each goal shocked us spectators. Twenty-one goals in half a season, He scored four big goals twice in the game and completed a super comeback in the last game! What an amazing result, hero!"

When Albertini said this, the hall burst into applause.

Unlike awards such as "Best Goal", "Most Favorite Player" and "Best Team" that are selected by fans, "Best Foreign Player" is definitely voted by the players of the 20 Serie A teams. , so this award can mean a player's status in the minds of his opponents.

Although judging from this award-winning result, he has conquered many people, but listening to the applause, this is the most intuitive impression.

It is indeed quite remarkable. He only scored six goals in the first half of the season. He ranked 22nd on the scorer list at that time... Who would have thought that such a person could be the league's top scorer in the end?

That second half of the season was nothing short of legendary.

Chen Yingxiong's crazy goals conquered his opponents and colleagues, making them all willing to cast their precious votes for him.

In addition, after the start of the new season, he continues to score goals and is currently leading the scorer list in the Champions League. Isn't this performance enough to make him the best foreign player in Serie A last year?

Ibrahimovic's expression will not look good because Albertini used him as a sacrifice to complement Chen Yingxiong's tallness. But no one cares what he thinks at this time...

※ ※ ※

Albertini took the statuette from the beautiful host, handed it to Chen Yingxiong, and patted Chen Yingxiong on the shoulder to show encouragement and appreciation.

"That's only your first Serie A season, hero. What more can we expect from you?" he said, half joking.

Generally speaking, the interviewees will not take it seriously. Shy people will just smile, and lively people will make jokes to heat up the atmosphere and make the group below burst into laughter. .

Chen Yingxiong tilted his head and approached the microphone in Albertini's hand.

Seeing that he wanted to say something, Albertini put the microphone to his mouth.

"You can expect me to continue to be the league's top scorer this season." Chen Yingxiong's face was expressionless and very serious. It didn't look like he was joking at all.

Even Albertini didn't know how to answer it, he was stunned.

Not just him, everyone present was basically stunned. When these words were spoken, the hall fell silent...

They were all frightened.

Isn't this too arrogant?

Only one person's expression was different - Ibrahimovic curled his lips and snorted from his nose.

A smile quickly appeared on Chen Yingxiong's face, and he said to everyone with a playful smile: "It's just a joke, look how scared you are!"

So Albertini took the lead and laughed, but the smile was a little fake, not smooth enough, and it sounded like a fake smile.

"I would like to thank the Italian Players Association for giving me this award." Chen Yingxiong raised the statuette in his hand. "For me, this is a very high compliment, because it is not a ballot filled out by national team coaches who have never even heard of my name, nor is it an evaluation from journalists who think they are superior enough to criticize us... "

The first one is because he is still complaining that his ranking in World Footballer is too low. The second reason touched the hearts of many players, so he once again received applause, laughter and whistles.

The atmosphere at the scene this time was much more lively and enthusiastic than before. Some people breathed a sigh of relief. The scene just now was really embarrassing...

"Because this is the ticket you gave me."

※ ※ ※

"He doesn't look like a newcomer who is taking the stage for the first time to receive an award..." Below, Cassano was whispering to Mazzarri. "I feel like he has received this award many times."

Mazzarri smiled: "He is a genius just like you, Antonio. He must have the temperament not to be afraid of big scenes."

Cassano stared at Chen Yingxiong for a while, tilted his head and said: "He will have a better future than me..."

※ ※ ※

"I thank every brother who voted for me. If I knew you were all just water, I would treat you...to a meal!" He originally wanted to say drink, but fortunately he suddenly thought that professional players are not allowed to drink. Although everyone privately I drank all the time, but it wouldn’t be good to say it publicly... so I temporarily changed it to "eating."

"As for those who didn't vote for me...you should be careful!" Chen Yingxiong said to the following with a smile.

There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and everyone knew he was joking. It can be seen from his expression.

After saying this, he walked off the stage and the award ceremony continued.

But he was soon invited back again...

※ ※ ※

"The best player in Serie A in 2009...Hero!"

Chen Yingxiong stepped onto the stage again amidst the applause and cheers of the crowd.

The person in charge of awarding the award this time is Sergio Campana, chairman of the Italian Players Association. He is seventy-five years old, with gray hair and wrinkles covering his face.

This is the most important award in this award event, because the best player is determined by the best local player and the best foreign player.

It can be said to be the best of the best. Of course, the chairman of the Players Association will personally present this award. You must know that Campana has served as the chairman of the Players Association for 42 years. He is highly respected and is the leader in the minds of many players.

The best local player in Serie A in 2009 was De Rossi, but obviously, his influence cannot be compared with Chen Yingxiong who miraculously won the season's top scorer and reversed Ibrahimovic, so this best player , Chen Yingxiong won it without any suspense and deserved the title.

The kind-hearted Campana handed the statuette into the hands of Chen Yingxiong, and then said to him: "Say a few words, hero?"

Chen Yingxiong frowned: "Uh... I just finished what I said..."

Everyone below laughed happily.

"Next time, I will be better prepared! Thank you, I will use a better performance to prove that I am worthy of this honor." He raised the statuette in his hand.

"But... I don't think this is good news for you, right?" He smiled again and said in a joking tone.

So the people below continued to laugh.

But some people didn't laugh because they felt that Chen Yingxiong was right - the better he performed, the more headaches they had as his opponents...

Who knows whether Chen Yingxiong is really joking or serious?
