? As in previous years, the annual FIFA awards conference begins with a speech by FIFA President Blatter.
Blatter ’s speeches are basically the same. They introduce the role of FIFA and the achievements of the past year. Anyway, they said a lot of good things. Look ahead to next year.
After the speech, the first awards were the awards of the two youth teams. Aguero and Tony Cross came to the stage to receive the awards. The guests were German famous Matteus and Swiss famous Chapuisat.
The various awards are interspersed with video reviews of major FIFA events of the past year and opera performances.
This was followed by the best player in the Beach Soccer World Cup, which was given to Brazilian Bru.
It is worth mentioning that Barcelona won the fair play award because they refused to accept commercial chest ads, but instead provided it to UNICEF for free.
This is actually a very interesting thing.
Everyone knows that Barcelona ’s chest has always refused commercial sponsorship, but in this highly commercial professional football field, chest advertising can easily generate more than 10 million euros per year, will Barcelona be unimpressed?
The answer is that the heart beats more than anyone else.
La Porta once tried to attract investment in chest advertising, but the result triggered protests from fans and the media. They believed that this was detrimental to the tradition of the club, so they rejected chest advertising.
This incident had been troubled for a while. Later, La Porta was also clever. He chose the curve to save the country policy, and directly gave the shirt chest advertisement to UNICEF free of charge.
This is a kind of foreshadowing, using public service advertisements to test, so that fans and the media have nothing to say.
Everyone knows very well that when the UNICEF contract expires and the time is ripe, Barcelona will immediately invite the chest jersey advertisement, and the opposition of the media and fans will not be so strong.
Yang Yang didn't have any idea about this matter, because he thought it was normal.
La Porta ’s approach is indeed very smart, not only to avoid the criticism of media reporters and fans, but also to win a fair competition award for Barcelona, but also bring huge potential benefits for the future.
Therefore, it is not accidental that La Porta has been able to bring Barcelona out of the chaos of turmoil and the results of the Dream Team II. He is indeed a very powerful Barcelona president.
In contrast to Real Madrid, after Florentino stepped down, Calderon took over as a clown. Many of the things he did were really crying, plus a Mijatovich, two Man is a raccoon dog.
...
After the fair play award, Sir Bobby Charlton gave his speech at the last award, and everyone stood up and applauded.
Because, this time Bobby Charlton awarded the FIFA President's Award to the king of the ball Bailey.
Bailey was so moved that he cried and said a lot of thanks.
Yang Yang once heard people say that after Bailey retired, he was once in poverty for a long time, but then Nike realized the potential value of Bailey, so he signed a lifetime contract with Bailey and made every effort to build the ball king. Gold signboard.
So, to a certain extent, Bailey has today's status and influence, thanks to Nike.
Of course, Nike itself has made huge profits from it.
This is not the case with Bailey. Many professional players make money quickly during football, but spend money like running water, do n’t know how to invest, and spend profligately. After retiring, they will soon be poor, including some of them Legendary star.
Therefore, when Yang Yang sat under the stage and saw Bailey's speech on stage, he thought more about himself.
"You said, I'm retired, will I also be in despair?" Yang Yang asked softly to Su Ye beside him.
Su Ye looked over at him and shook his head without thinking: "No."
"why?"
"I will raise you then." Su Ye said rightfully.
Yang Yang did not know whether he should be moved or smiled bitterly.
...
The best men ’s national team was given to Argentina, and the fastest improvement award was given to Mozambique. There is no suspense.
And the two personal grand prizes finally revealed are also the finale, especially for Mr. World Football.
Marta from Brazil successfully won the title of Miss World Football, Beckenbauer presented her awards, and Marta cried when she won the award last year, and she also burst into tears this year.
This made Yang Yang sitting under the stage a little nervous, and also touched.
Playing football is not an easy task. From youth training to adult team, after layer by layer elimination, it stood out all the way, and finally entered the professional team, from the bench to the main force, and then climbed the ladder of the professional league, and continued to climb all the way. Climb, from the marginal league to the mainstream league, from the second-level league to the top league ...
Along the way, I have experienced too much and sacrificed too much.
Seeing that countless people kept falling behind, they were drowned from now on; they also saw countless people constantly appearing, short-lived.
Those who have seen standing at the top of the mountain have quickly fallen like meteors; they have also seen countless people become famous overnight, and they are known all over the world.
Suddenly, Yang Yang felt like he was dreaming.
He wondered if he was deceived?
Everything around the four is illusory, everything is false, it is a dream.
Including Kaka, including Messi, including everyone in the opera house, and even Su Ye sitting beside him.
All of these are dreams imagined by myself.
Because a few years ago, he never dared to imagine that he could achieve what he is today.
But at this moment, a warm hand grabbed him and gave it a firm grip, as if to give him strength, but at the same time it made him awake and convinced him that all this is true, not a dream.
Turning his head, he saw Su Ye's eyes with encouragement and affirmation in his concern, as if to say, it does not matter, it does not matter, whether you can get it or not, in my mind, you are all Mr. World Football.
This made Yang Yang take a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and smiled slightly at Su Ye.
Looking around Su Ye, he saw that Kaka across Caroline was also very nervous, lowering his head, he couldn't see his expression at the moment, but it was not difficult to see from Caroline's concern. Card must be extremely nervous now.
Yeah, one person a year!
Who gets this trophy, who will be included in the history of football, will remain in history!
Who doesn't want it?
Who can cruelly say no?
Even Messi, who was destined to be impossible, seemed very nervous at this moment, looking forward to a miracle.
Not to mention the two parties Yang Yang and Kaka?
...
The finale award was awarded, and the atmosphere of the audience became tense.
I believe that at this moment, all fans watching live broadcasts around the world are equally nervous.
Who will be Mr. World Football in the new year?
Who will be the first person in world football?
The temperature inside the opera house seemed to be raised in a flash, and many people's breathing became rapid.
Blatter took the lead in giving a speech, announcing the three best performing stars, and playing video clips of Yang Yang, Kaka and Messi on the big screen behind them, collecting their most outstanding performances in the past year A scene.
Yang Yang saw Messi ’s five consecutive players against Getafe. Although he has watched it many times, he still feels amazing every time he sees it. Because he plays, he knows such goals. How difficult.
To put it bluntly, not only to have strength, but also luck.
Getafe's former coach, current Real Madrid coach Schuster, wouldn't he just say that?
After Messi has connected five people, he angrily scolded his players in the locker room because they made a serious mistake in the position and did not foul timely and decisively, which gave Messi even five people. opportunity.
Yang Yang also wanted to try, but he was waiting patiently for the opportunity.
He believes that as long as the opportunity comes, he will be able to create a feat that has connected five people.
As for the one who played Arsenal before, frankly, it really is not.
...
No one knows what Yang Yang is thinking at this moment.
Everyone in the opera house watched the video highlights and watched the performances of the three world's top players.
At the same time, each of them is also guessing, who will be the world's footballer this year?
Who will win this honor?
When the video collection ended, the big screen behind Blatter immediately switched to the scene, and at the same time, Yang Yang, Kaka, and Messi responded. Yang Yang and Kaka are the protagonists. Everyone knows that they The two are the last suspense tonight.
Yang Yang is a big hit, but Kaka may not have the opportunity to make an upset, especially considering FIFA's usual operation in the past.
Yang Yang, Kaka, and Messi also saw the big screen and found that they were photographed, which was a bit embarrassing. After smiling at each other, they all turned their heads and tried to be as calm as possible.
Su Ye firmly squeezed Yang Yang's hand, she was giving Yang Yang support and encouragement in this way.
With the announcement of Blatter, the award guest Bailey appeared on the podium holding the trophy of Mr. World Football, and there was a burst of warm applause and cheers.
By this moment, the atmosphere in the opera house was extremely tense.
Especially Yang Yang and Kaka, who were sitting tight at this time, were too nervous to force themselves to calm down.
The two of them knew each other well, and at the moment when the other side got the general, they would definitely lose their gaze, but they would recover quickly and send the other party blessings as soon as possible.
But before that, they could n’t be less nervous.
Because this is a supreme honor for any player.
On the stage, Blatter is obviously very satisfied with the tense atmosphere at the scene, because this represents enough suspense.
So, after he smiled slightly at the audience, he opened the envelope and took out the final winner list.
"I represent FIFA here and solemnly announce that in 2007, Mr. World Football, the winner is ..."
