Chapter 1050 Still Yang Yang!

According to the usual practice, before the grand finale is announced, the three candidates need to go on stage for a brief interview.

The three of them were already familiar with such scenes, especially Yang Yang.

As the number one football player in the world in the past few years, he calmly expressed on the spot that he was very satisfied with his performance in the past season. Regardless of whether he can win the award, he must thank everyone at Real Madrid for their support. But at the same time, he also said that if Messi or Iniesta win the award, he will also sincerely send his congratulations.

Yang Yang's statement was neither humble nor overbearing, which not only showed the pride and confidence of the world's number one football player, but also took care of the emotions of Messi and Iniesta.

Subsequently, Platini said that the scene entered a tense voting stage.

Those who participated in the voting were football journalists from 53 countries and regions under UEFA, but the rules of the two rounds of voting were different.

In the first round of voting, each reporter submits a list of five players and ranks the five players. The first player gets five points, the second gets four points, and so on, the fifth gets one point, and finally calculates the total score.

Although UEFA did not announce the total score of the top three players in the first round, some media have revealed that Yang Yang won the first place in total score with a slight advantage, because his triple crown in Real Madrid is really eye-catching.

But the voting rules for the second round were different. Fifty-three reporters on the scene voted for the top three players. Each player could only vote for one player to see who could get more votes.

Judging from the rules, it is entirely possible that the results of these two rounds of voting will be reversed, because the second round of on-site voting can only choose one out of three, which undoubtedly requires every reporter who votes on-site to choose the only candidate in his heart, instead of the five-person list in the first round, which is undoubtedly more cruel.

The tense voting atmosphere affected everyone in the Grimaldi Conference Center. Everyone was guessing whether the two big stars from Barcelona, ​​especially Iniesta, the best player in the European Cup, would be able to challenge Yang Yang successfully?

If possible, it would undoubtedly be the first time in recent years that someone surpassed Yang Yang.

Platini was also nervous. He stood beside Yang Yang and kept shaking his head, expressing that he knew nothing about the final result and was very nervous. Yang Yang, Iniesta and Messi were also uncomfortable.

Although it has been soft to win awards in the past few years, it is absolutely impossible for Yang Yang not to want such a heavyweight award.

The counting of votes ended quickly, and the results were quickly sent to Platini's hands.

The UEFA president also specially raised the envelope in his hand towards the three of Yang Yang, as if to say, the future is in my hands. Then, he walked to the microphone with a smile, and opened the envelope under everyone's gaze.

"Wow, the competition is fierce and close. The difference between the first place and the second place is only one vote, full of suspense."

As soon as Platini's words fell, the audience was worried for a while.

Just one vote short?

This is too dangerous, right?

Could it be that Iniesta really counterattacked Yang Yang to reach the top?

This is absolutely possible, because the 53 football journalists who participated in the voting are all from European countries, and it is understandable that they chose Iniesta, their "own man", who shined in the European Cup.

After all, Yang Yang is an "outsider".

On the podium, Yang Yang, Iniesta and Messi all looked different.

Messi is the least likely to win the award among the three. Although he has the support of Barcelona, ​​it is just the club's practice to support the top star. The real results are nothing. Only he scored 51 goals in a single season, becoming the player who scored more than 500 goals in a single season after Yang Yang.

But when it comes to goals and assists, Yang Yang is better than him, and there are three consecutive championships and triple crowns in hand. Messi has no chance of winning. If Messi wins the award, he will definitely be considered a shady one.

Yang Yang was still somewhat uneasy, but he was not too worried, because he had already obtained it many times.

On the contrary, Iniesta seems to be the most nervous. He obviously always wanted to get an honor to prove himself, but unfortunately, when he helped Spain win the World Cup in 2010, he lost to Yang Yang. What about this year?

"Okay, I will now officially announce that the winner of the best player in Europe for the 2011-2012 season is..."

When Platini said this loudly, the entire Grimalti Conference Center became silent, and everyone focused on the UEFA president.

"Yang Yang!"

Yang Yang! ! ! ! ! !

After the name broke out, the audience was in an uproar.

Yang Yang! It's Yang Yang again!

Although there was too much suspense before, it was unexpected that the result would still be Yang Yang.

But no one will think that Yang Yang is not worthy of this honor, because he scored 79 goals in Real Madrid last season. Counting assists, he created more than 100 goals for Real Madrid alone. This is an unprecedented achievement.

More importantly, in the three years since he joined Real Madrid, Real Madrid has achieved three consecutive Champions League titles. Last season, it even won the first Triple Crown in La Liga history. Such an honor, such an achievement, he is definitely well deserved to be awarded the best player in Europe.

But at the same time, many people feel sorry for Iniesta, because he missed the best chance.

If Yang Yang can't be shaken this year, it may be difficult for him to have another chance in the future.

In the club, Messi will always be the top star in front of Iniesta. Even if Barcelona surpasses Real Madrid in terms of performance, it will only be Messi, not midfielder Iniesta, who will win the award.

It can be said that after missing this year, the only thing Iniesta can count on is the World Cup in Brazil two years later. If he can help Spain defend the World Cup, there is definitely a chance, but the difficulty is too great.

After Yang Yang heard Platini calling out his name, his first reaction was to make a fist, then he turned to look at Iniesta and Messi, and walked over to shake hands with them.

From the eyes of Iniesta and Messi, Yang Yang saw unwillingness, but at the same time saw the unyielding fighting spirit.

They are professional players, and they get stronger when they encounter strong players. Constant self-breakthrough is the spirit they should have.

Afterwards, Yang Yang solemnly accepted another award of the best player in Europe from Platini, and when he delivered his acceptance speech, he kept thanking his teammates and everyone at Real Madrid, and highlighted the names of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Maicon, Maxwell and Kaka. He hoped to share this award with these four friends.

"It's a great honor to receive this award and I want to dedicate it to all my teammates at Real Madrid, but it's also a great honor to stand with two such great players, Iniesta and Messi, who are also very, very good."

Yang Yang's award acceptance speech can be said to have considered all aspects, and he did it impeccably, allowing people to see the demeanor and demeanor of the world's number one football player.

…………

…………

Real Madrid drew the death group that gathered four league titles, and Yang Yang won the best player in Europe.

These two pieces of news can be described as sad and happy, and soon spread all over the world. Countless Real Madrid fans are feeling depressed about the signing of the death group. Many people even think that this is UEFA deliberately trying to get rid of Real Madrid.

And more people are cheering for Yang Yang, thinking that after winning the best player in Europe, Yang Yang is estimated to be the number one favorite for the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

However, some media analysts believe that Yang Yang’s situation is still very dangerous, because he only has one more vote than Iniesta, and the two votes are 24 to 23. It can be seen that the competition is still very fierce. No one can guarantee whether Yang Yang will be able to reach the top again at the FIFA Awards Conference.

If it is said that whether Yang Yang can win the award is still a matter of a few months later, then Real Madrid's encounter with the death group is an imminent crisis, because Manchester City, Dortmund and Ajax are not weak.

Manchester City has invested heavily in the past few years, and their results have grown by leaps and bounds. Last season, they won the Premier League championship, and this season's state is also quite good. Whether it is the player lineup or the competition experience, they are second to none.

Players such as Sneijder, Aguero and Yaya Toure are all first-tier European stars. This lineup still has a certain chance of winning against Real Madrid. Moreover, the head coach Mancini is a coach from Italy, and his defense is quite good.

Bundesliga champion Borussia Dortmund has sprung up in recent years.

The first time Yang Yang heard the name of Klopp was when his national teammate Zheng Zhi transferred to the Bundesliga.

The current Dortmund focuses on the youth storm. Last season, they stepped on the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich. The results are also very good. They won the double crown. Players such as Gotze, Reus, and Lewandowski have also become famous for this.

It can be said that this is an unfamiliar team and it is not easy to play. According to the information given by the Real Madrid scout team, Klopp's team has always been known for running coverage and pressing pressure. This will make Real Madrid feel very headache. Even if they win, the consumption will be very high.

Needless to say, Ajax is familiar with it. Real Madrid is still very confident in winning the Eredivisie opponent, but it is not completely impossible to be upset. The key still depends on Real Madrid's own performance.

It is worth noting that after playing Ajax in the away game, Real Madrid will go to the Nou Camp to challenge Barcelona non-stop. Two consecutive away games, running back and forth, will consume a lot of money for the team, especially playing Barcelona.

Real Madrid's public relations director Butragueno said in an interview with the media after the draw ceremony that this draw is very interesting. It has gathered four league championship teams and is the strongest among the eight groups. It can be called a super death group.

"However, Real Madrid are still very confident that they can emerge from this difficult group."
