Chapter 613 The Best in the World

"Yang, how does it feel to be the World Footballer?"

"Well...I haven't fully enjoyed it, haha, just kidding, actually, it's a really wonderful feeling to be one of the three best players in the world, which is what all professional players aspire to, and I was able to achieve that. I am very happy at this height, but at the same time I will remind myself more to keep working hard.”

"You won both the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer this year. Which of the two awards do you think is more gratifying?"

"Well...these two awards are different, the European Ballon d'Or is recognized by the media and commentators, which of course is very important and very pleasing, but the World Player of the Year is voted by the coaches and captains of various countries, To be recognized by them is something I feel very proud of.”

"What about your two rivals, Kaka and Messi?"

"They are all very good players with incredible talent, and they are all relatively young, I think their future will be very exciting, Kaka is only 25 years old now, I think this year's situation represents a new A generation of players is starting to rise and play a key role."

"The past year has been an extraordinary one for you, when do you think you were most impressed?"

"When I won the Champions League, it was the first time I played a key role as the absolute main force of the team to win the Champions League, which was a milestone for me and I will always remember it. "

"You are now one of the best players in the world, do you have any idols?"

"Haha, of course, Ronaldo and Van Basten are my idols, I've had their posters on the ceiling of my room since I was a kid, and I look at them every night before going to bed, fantasizing about playing against them. "

"Do you still do it now?"

"No no no, not anymore."

"why?"

"Uh...I have a girlfriend now."

"Oh, ha, understand, understand, I also want to ask, what is your dream in 2008?"

"I'm a Liverpool player and I want to continue to help the team win."

"The Premier League or the Champions League, which one do you prefer to win?"

"The Champions League is undoubtedly the most important trophy, but the Premier League is also very important, because in my understanding, Liverpool is a very unique team with its own traditions and spirit, and the Premier League title means something to us. It is of extraordinary significance, so no matter which one it is, I think it is very gratifying, and of course it is best to take both."

"A lot of people are saying, you're becoming a leader at Liverpool, what do you think about that?"

"I disagree, because the leaders of Liverpool are Gerrard and Carragher, they are better than me, they are more suitable, both on and off the pitch, they play a leadership role."

"I still remember, in the summer of 2006, when you decided to move to the Premier League, many people felt that it was difficult for you to adapt to the Premier League, but after more than a year, not only did you adapt very well, but you also played very high. Now that you are the first ever World Player of the Year in the Premier League, how do you think you did it?"

"I think the most important thing is to have the courage and determination to face difficulties and challenges. I don't think the Premier League is difficult to adapt to. This is a very challenging league. The level is very high, the pace is very fast, and the most important thing is , this is a paradise for the brave, and playing here, I feel stronger and braver."

"Can you elaborate?"

"It's like a double game a week. I once thought that a double game a week would be very hard, but in the Premier League I found that everyone has to get used to it, and the Christmas schedule is very difficult. I haven’t overcome it yet, but even when I am constantly overcoming difficulties and challenging difficulties, I am also constantly growing and improving.”

"In the 2007-08 season, your performance so far is really surprising, but it also raises a question, how long do you think you can maintain this state?"

"Frankly, I don't know, because no player can maintain such a high level for a long time, so I will definitely hit a low point, but when it will come, I don't know, but I am confident that I can overcome it. it."
