Chapter 988 I Am a Legend!
"25-year-old Yang Yang will continue to rule the world football!"
As early as October last year, Aspen newspaper, which is close to Real Madrid, announced in a high-profile manner that there is no suspense for Yang Yang to win the 2011 FIFA Ballon d’Or, because in a year without the World Cup and European Cup, Yang Yang won the award with the double championship last season and the three championships in the first half of this season.
Aspen believes that searching all over the world in football, Yang Yang can't find any opponents, including Messi.
Real Madrid technical director Valdano also said with a smile in an interview with Marca, "Just like the past four years, this year's Yang Yang is still popular. I really can't think of anyone else who can compete with him."
As the guest of the Golden Globe Awards at the FIFA Awards Conference, former Real Madrid star Ronaldo also said in an interview with Brazilian media that there seems to be no suspense for Yang Yang to win the award.
"I think for the time being, there is no second player in the world who can be as good as Yang Yang, so even European bookmakers are unwilling to offer odds for this, because they know that the odds are fixed."
Ronaldo also smiled and talked about his first acquaintance with Yang Yang, and he was proud of being Yang Yang's idol. He said that the 25-year-old Yang Yang is in the golden age of his career.
"Winning major awards for five consecutive years is the best achievement in history. This not only requires long-term and stable performance, but also requires Yang Yang to show the best performance in all aspects and achieve convincing results. I am very happy that he did it, and he did it very well."
Ronaldo said that Real Madrid performed very well this season. If the current trend is followed, Yang Yang will probably still be the number one favorite in the selection of major awards next year, even if there is a European Cup this year.
"Actually, even in big competitions like the World Cup and the European Cup, as long as you perform well enough, you can still win awards. I am very much looking forward to seeing Yang Yang's performance in 2012."
...
If the media close to Real Madrid and some famous players all expressed their affirmation to Yang Yang, then naturally some media believed that Yang Yang should not be alone, and players such as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo should stand up bravely and challenge Yang Yang's status.
The godfather of Barcelona, Cruyff, tearfully denounced in his column. When the number one player in world football is occupied by a certain player for a long time, this will greatly weaken the authority and influence of any award.
"Facts have proved that since October last year, the FIFA Ballon d'Or has lost its suspense and no longer attracts people's attention."
But soon, the FIFA official website gave a rebuttal, saying that in recent years, the attention of the FIFA Ballon d’Or has been increasing year by year, especially in Asia and North America, where the attraction is getting bigger and bigger. With the help of Yang Yang’s momentum, this award is even more familiar to many people.
As for Yang Yang's possession of the highest honors such as the Ballon d'Or, World Footballer and FIFA Ballon d'Or for five consecutive years, FIFA also gave a clarification, saying that the selection of the awards is carried out under the principle of openness, fairness and fairness. If anyone has any objections, they can check the relevant voting process.
Marca also quickly refuted Cruyff's column, openly questioning that the godfather of Barcelona deliberately provoked Yang Yang to attract attention, "Looking at the world football in the past year, who else is qualified to win this award besides Yang Yang?"

The turmoil before the meeting did not affect this annual event at the Zurich Opera House.
After the meeting started, Pele first presented the World Professional Players Union's best team of the year.
The goalkeeper is Casillas, the defense is Vidic, Ramos, Pique and Maicon, the midfield is Iniesta, Xavi Alonso and Xavi, and the front trident is Yang Yang, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.
Then FIFA President Sepp Blatter presented the FIFA President's Award. The winner was the Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson who was over seventy years old. This is a bit like a lifetime achievement award.
Matthaus awarded the best coach of women's football, and the winner was Norio Sasaki of the Japanese women's football team; Karenbu, a former French star who also played for Real Madrid, presented the Fair Play Award, which was also given to the Japan Football Association.
The Puskas award for the best goal of the year was given to Santos' Neymar, and the Miss World Footballer was given to Japan's Eki Sawa.
And when it comes to the finale, it is also the highlight of this year's awards. During the FIFA Ballon d'Or, the guest of honor is former Real Madrid superstar Ronaldo.
It is worth mentioning that, perhaps because the result was known long before the meeting, the other two players who entered the three-man shortlist, Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona's Messi, did not come to the scene.
Both of them sent congratulatory text messages to Yang Yang in advance, and explained the reasons for their absence.
In fact, Yang Yang knew in his heart that these were just excuses, and the real reason was that they were unwilling to participate in such an unsuspecting award ceremony, and watched Yang Yang climb to the top again.
Ronaldo didn't say much either. After taking the stage and saying a few words, he directly announced Yang Yang's election.
For Yang Yang, who has won a major award for the fifth consecutive year, he is used to accepting awards on stage every year. Although he is still very excited and proud, there is nothing unusual about him on the surface.
He first stood up from his seat, leaned over, hugged and kissed his wife Su Ye who was with him, and then embraced old friends such as Ibrahimovic, Kaka, Harvey Alonso and Ramos who came to support him, and finally stepped onto the podium.
Yang Yang opened his arms first, and solemnly embraced his idol Ronaldo. He said that being able to receive this award from Ronaldo was the happiest thing for him tonight.
"At the lowest and darkest moment of my life, I would look up at Ronaldo on the ceiling every night, look at his confident smile, and my mind is full of his outstanding skills. I tell myself every time, look at Ronaldo, he is your best role model!"
Ronaldo was quite touched by Yang Yang's words, and he hugged Yang Yang solemnly, then presented him with an award, and said that he had been completely conquered by Yang Yang.
"I think he will become a legend, oh no, it should be said that he is already a legend!"
There was thunderous applause and cheers at the scene.
Yang Yang then thanked all those who supported him, thanked all the national team coaches, captains and reporters who voted for him, and also thanked all the coaches, teammates and staff of Real Madrid and the Chinese national team.
"I can stand here because I was lucky to meet a group of excellent coaches and teammates. They are the key to my ability to shine on the pitch. We help each other, work hard to improve ourselves, and we fight side by side to win honors in the national team and club."
"So, today, I didn't come here alone, I came here with my teammates, my coaches, without them, we couldn't have today, and we couldn't have come here."
Afterwards, Yang Yang glanced at his teammates again, and finally landed on Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
"Here, I also hope to share the glory of the Ballon d'Or with my good friend Zlatan Ibrahimovic."
"Zlatan, you know, I never believed in God, but I am really grateful to him because he let me meet you. We have known each other for so many years, we have fought side by side, and I know you have always helped me. I stand here today and want to tell you that you also deserve this award!"
Ibrahimovic originally applauded with a smile, but then his eyes became wet. He stood up and pointed at Yang Yang, and shouted loudly: "No, you have been helping me, brother. In my mind, you are the best in the world. No one is worthy of this award except you!"
The nearby Maxwell, Vermaelen, Maicon and Ramos all applauded and cheered.
"Finally, I also want to thank my wife in particular." Yang Yang pointed at Su Ye from afar.
"In September last year, we had our first child. She worked very hard to let me have no worries. She is the best and most perfect in the world. I want to say to her here, Su Ye, I am very, very grateful to God, it made me have you in my life."
"Let's get married!" Yang Yang shouted vigorously.
The warmest applause erupted at the scene immediately, and all the Real Madrid players started booing one after another. Even Ronaldo next to Yang Yang was stunned, how could there be such an operation?
Immediately afterwards, everyone in the audience stood up, applauded and shouted.
Yang Yang also held the FIFA Ballon d'Or, stepped off the podium quickly, and knelt on the ground on one knee.
This was his temporary idea, because he really loves Su Ye and is very grateful to Su Ye. He wants to get married.
There is no ring in his hand, but Yang Yang held up the trophy he just got, which immediately made the atmosphere even more enthusiastic. Everyone was very excited about this unique marriage proposal, which was obviously a whim.
Rings are not rare, they appear in almost every marriage proposal, but the FIFA Ballon d'Or trophy is a rare item, so far only Yang Yang has ever gotten it, and it can even be said to be unique in the world.
And now, Yang Yang uses it to propose.
As a professional player, using the supreme honor to propose marriage is not a bit romantic.
Su Ye was so moved that she wept with joy, and quickly took the trophy from Yang Yang's hand. The milk swallow threw herself into Yang Yang's arms like a forest, and kissed him vigorously.
The applause from everyone at the scene was even more enthusiastic. In addition to the enthusiasm of football, the air in the Zurich Opera House added a bit of sweetness of love and joy after a successful marriage proposal.
And everyone believes that this will definitely become the headlines of the major media around the world tomorrow, and it will also make countless female fans around the world cry.
Yang Yang is finally leaving the order!
