Chapter 580 Big Winner
Forgot when it started, Yang Yang rarely doubted himself.
Maybe the day he got the super training ground; maybe later, when he joined Ajax; maybe later, the night he helped Ajax win the Champions League; or……
He really doesn't remember.
Self-confidence is not easy to get, especially with his high self-confidence.
As his professional experience continues to enrich, Yang Yang also becomes more and more confident, and he even feels that he can do anything.
When he saw Cristiano Ronaldo go three in a row, all he thought was, I can do it too.
When he saw Lionel Messi pass five in a row at Barcelona, he told himself in his head that sooner or later I can do it too.
When he saw that the major European gaming companies listed Kaka as the number one favorite of the world footballer, although he didn't say anything, he was very unconvinced in his heart and cursed, "This group of blind people idiot!
He feels that he is more and more like Ibrahimovic, but the biggest difference between him and the Swedes is that the Swedes like to speak their minds, but Yang Yang has never just done it.
At this moment, sitting in the Grimaldi Conference Center, when Platini opened the envelope and was about to announce the final winner, Yang Yang still looked very calm on the surface, but his heart was already turbulent. .
He is not doubting whether he is eligible to receive this award, but is guessing whether UEFA will award this award to him, because at this height of him and Kaka, whether or not he can win this award can only be represent an honor.
Of course, if he can't get it, Yang Yang will regret it, and at the same time, he will scold UEFA in his heart, a guy with no eyeballs, but what should he do after that.
He believed that he thought so, and so must Kaka beside him, but he couldn't say it.
For players of their level, the competition at the technical and tactical level has little meaning. The more important thing is self-confidence and state, as well as the support from the team as a whole.
Therefore, when Yang Yang saw Platini open the envelope, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but he used a smile to cover it up, because he knew that the live camera must be facing him and Kaka at this time.
I don't know if it was telepathy or not, Kaka also smiled, and the two looked at each other in unison, and nodded to each other.
Wait a minute, no matter who wins the award, the other party will definitely stand up to celebrate and congratulate the first time.
This is their demeanor.
...
No one knew whether Platini knew the result before, but on stage, he clearly wobbled.
This sudden sound caused an uproar in the audience.
Everyone was obviously caught off guard, and they didn't expect the president of UEFA to make such a move.
But soon, the Grimaldi Conference Center was quiet again.
Everyone's attention fell on Platini, and Yu Guang was paying attention to Yang Yang and Kaka in the front row.
Both are still young and will be the most competitive players in European football in the next few years, but who will be the first to win this award and become the most brilliant player in European football after Ronaldinho? superstar?
Platini also obviously felt the tension created at this moment in the conference center. He hesitated, but finally took a step forward and called out a name forcefully and cleanly.
"Yang Yang!"
For a time, the audience was in an uproar.
Yang Yang jumped up from his seat first, clenched his fists and shouted, then quickly turned around and hugged Kaka, who stood up.
"Congratulations, Yang, you have indeed performed better." Kaka congratulated.
"Thank you, Kaka."
"You won this time, but I will definitely find a chance to win it back." Kaka laughed.
If the voice he just said was still a little trembling, then the smile seemed more relaxed. Obviously, he had let it go, which proved that Kaka's mind was indeed more mature.
"Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you at any time!" Yang Yang also accepted the challenge with a smile.
Afterwards, Yang Yang hugged his teammates Gerrard, Xavi Alonso and Reina warmly behind him, accepted the congratulations from his teammates, and ran to the next door to hug him in front of coach Benitez. , met Ajax director Ali van Eden along the way, and Yang Yang also hugged him.
Although he has left Ajax, Yang Yang has not forgotten his years in Ajax.
He is an Ajax legend and may even consider returning to Ajax when he is due to retire in the future.
This is also a cycle that many professional players have throughout their careers.
...
After running quickly to the podium, Yang Yang took the trophy from Platini's hands with a smile, accepted the congratulations from the UEFA president, shook hands and hugged him, and finally walked to the microphone.
"Well, I'm a little nervous right now." Yang Yang said frankly.
Because he didn't even prepare his acceptance speech.
There was a burst of laughter, but no one would say anything about him.
Yang Yang is the big winner of the Grimaldi Conference Center tonight!
"I want to say thanks to UEFA, to the Premier League, to Liverpool, to Ajax, and to all my teammates and coaches who have supported me along the way, without you I would not be here today."
When Yang Yang was receiving the best striker just now, he had already thanked all his teammates and coaches, but now he doesn't know what to say.
"Also, I would like to thank my family, my parents and relatives and friends, as well as Su Ye and her family, as well as my friends and, of course, my manager Mino Raiola."
Yang Yang looked at the trophy in his hand, nodded and said, "It is incredible for me to win this award, and it also has a different meaning, because I still clearly remember that I have sat under the stage several times. , I watched with admiration at many people who came to the stage to receive this award, and I told myself at the time that I hope that one day I will be able to come up."
"Tonight, I made it happen!"
Yang Yang's remarks received thunderous applause for him.
All the professional players and coaches have come this way. Everyone watched others with envy to receive the award, and became angry, and finally made themselves stronger and stepped onto this podium.
"What I want to say is that this is not the end. I am only twenty years old. I think this is just the beginning. I believe that I can continue to go further and go further and longer. I believe that everyone will receive the award here in the future. See me often on stage!"
There was a burst of warmer applause at the scene.
This definitely shouted out the fighting spirit in Yang Yang's heart.
On the other hand, Yang Yang slowly took two steps back, bowed deeply to everyone in the audience, and turned around and walked off the stage amid the warmest applause in the audience.
At this time, Yang Yang's outstanding performance in the Champions League in the past season was broadcast on the big screen of the podium.
With thirteen goals and nine assists, Yang Yang is impeccable both in terms of statistics and performance on the field.
Although many people are holding injustice for Kaka, in fact, Yang Yang's winning the award is truly deserved.
Because no one can erase his overwhelming form and amazing performance last season.
And everyone also noticed that when Yang Yang came off, Kaka got up again to congratulate him.
It was clear that the Brazilian players, despite their losses, were still very personable.
...
"I didn't expect it myself to score so many goals in the Champions League last season. I think it all depends on the support of my teammates."
Yang Yang expressed his feelings of winning the award when he was interviewed on UEFA's official website after the game.
"Winning the award is certainly the happiest, but for me, helping the team and teammates to win championships is what motivates me. I look forward to the constant challenges ahead. I feel that our team is capable of winning championships this season. Defending the title."
"Of course, no matter what happens in the future, the Champions League this past season and tonight's award will always have a special place in my heart."
Regarding Liverpool's draw, Yang Yang said that luck was okay, but he couldn't be careless.
"Whether it's Porto, Marseille or Besiktas, they are all teams with considerable strength. We have to take every game seriously and pay attention to every opponent so that we can get one in the group stage. A better and more favorable ranking.”
As for Porto's departure from Anderson and Marseille's departure from Ribery, the strength of the two major rivals has been greatly reduced. Yang Yang said that it will definitely have an impact, but Liverpool still have to be careful.
"I think our goal is to be first in the group, that's for sure, but both Porto and Marseille have the ability to stop us, so we still have to be cautious and be careful."
Yang Yang also expressed his gratitude to Kaka. He believes that Kaka is one of the strongest players in the world, and he is also a very friendly friend. He has been in friendship with Kaka for many years.
"I met Kaka when I first walked into the Grimalti Conference Centre, he was already a famous European star at the time, but he was very friendly to me, we had a very good friendship, It doesn't hurt because of the competition, on the contrary, it allows us to motivate each other."
Regarding the FIFA awards ceremony and the European Ballon d'Or selection in December at the end of the year, Yang Yang said that he has no way to control anyone's choice, but he is full of confidence in himself.
"We Chinese have a saying, do your best and obey the destiny."
"The only thing I can do is to let everyone see my strength, performance and state. As for whether they choose to vote for me in the end, then I have no way to guarantee it, but no matter what, for me, This is an invaluable experience and asset.”
Yang Yang also believes that he hopes to help Liverpool win the championship more than winning the award personally.
Whether it is the league title or the Champions League, Yang Yang believes that Liverpool have enough strength to fight for it.
"If you can have both, then it will be better." Yang Yang smiled honestly.
