"I hereby solemnly announce that the winner of FIFA World Cup 2018 is ..."
With the words of Infantino, the entire Royal Festival Concert Hall, and even all the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV in the world, suddenly raised his heart to his mouth and even held his breath.
The live broadcast was switched to close-up shots of the three finalists at the same time, and Yang Yang looked most at ease.
Modric is a veteran, but still a little nervous. It seems a little pretentious and calm, let alone Mbappe. The young finalist has closed his eyes nervously.
Everyone on the scene was equally upset, especially the Ajax players sitting in the guest table, all worried.
They all hope that Yang Yang will win the prize, but they feel very uneasy.
Fortunately, this grieving wait passed quickly.
Infantino quickly got close to the microphone and shouted the winner's name aloud ...
"Yang Yang !!!!!!"
Yang Yang! ! ! !
Infantino's shouts wafted throughout the Royal Festival Hall.
The name Yang Yang sounded on everyone's eardrums, which surprised everyone present, and at the same time took it for granted, because last season Yang Yang's performance was still the world's top.
No one can lower his evaluation of his performance last season because he moved to Ajax.
Modric is a big hit. He led Croatia to the World Cup runner-up and helped Real Madrid win five consecutive Champions League championships. The award is also worthy of the name, but the problem is that Real Madrid ’s soul star is Yang Yang, and the Croatian World Cup dark horse legend is in the previous one. Yang Yang was deduced this time, and his influence was greatly weakened.
As for Mbappe, no one doubts that he won the finalists.
In this case, Yang Yang's award seems to be a natural choice.
There was a very warm applause from the scene.
Many even stood up, applauded Yang Yang, and finally stood up.
Perhaps, in their view, this is already the end of Yang Yang on the stage of the FIFA awards ceremony!
From the day he left Real Madrid and switched to Ajax, he was already destined to miss the award.
Unless, he can lead Ajax to the Champions League, perhaps in odd years.
But how is this possible?
Who would believe it?
...
Yang Yang stood up from his seat, turned around, bowed his thanks to the thunderous applause, then he hugged Modric and Mbappe sitting around, and two former Real Madrid teammates also congratulated him .
In a warm applause, Yang Yang quickly walked onto the podium, took the trophy of this world footballer from Infantino, and held it high above his head, accepting the congratulations and cheers from everyone on the scene .
At the guest table, everyone looked at Yang Yang on the podium, with admiration, admiration, envy, admiration in his eyes ... somewhat unwilling and regretful.
Veteran Modric lost a little bit unwilling, but he didn't think there was any problem with Yang Yang's award. He just regretted that he missed the award this year, because this should have been the pinnacle of his career.
Unfortunately, he met an opponent like Yang Yang.
If there is no Yang Yang, then this year's award must be his.
Mbappe is more of worship, envy and admiration.
Yang Yang is his idol. He grew up watching Yang Yang's game. He admires Yang Yang more than anyone. He feels right that Yang Yang can win the award again. He is even happy for Yang Yang, even if he is somewhat lost in his heart.
He knows he is still young, even if he fails to win the prize this year, he still has many opportunities in the future.
He hopes that he can create a period of his own in European football like Yang Yang.
In the guest table, the Ajax players were even more excited.
As early as they heard that they could come to London to participate in this event, they were already very excited, and Yang Yang told them at the time that the probability of winning was low, because it was the World Cup year, the French team's Mbappe and Croatia Modric has a chance, he may miss this award.
Unexpectedly, he was re-elected!
All Ajax players looked at Yang Yang who raised the trophy high on the podium with an almost admired look. They all longed to be able to one day stand on the podium like Yang Yang and held high Trophy, accept all congratulations.
Although it is difficult and very difficult, they are full of longing and willing to make unremitting efforts for it.
...
Yang Yang put down the trophy and walked to the microphone.
He thanked a lot of people, from Real Madrid teammates and coaches last season, to Real Madrid President Florentino, to his relatives and friends, and all those who have helped him.
"Without you, it is impossible for me to be a player and a person like today. You are Mr. World Football in my mind and the best in my mind!"
Yang Yang's remarks were also applauded by the scene.
After a little applause, Yang Yang reached the microphone again and looked at the guest seat deeply.
"At this particular moment, I want to say one more thing."
The scene suddenly became silent, all listening to Yang Yang's speech.
"I know that in the past, many people were very surprised because of my transfer to Ajax. They were guessing and doubting. Why did I make such a choice?"
Almost everyone present nodded on the surface or in their hearts, because they all had such doubts.
Although it is not the year of the fight, is it too early to go to Dutch League at the age of 31?
"Actually, there are many reasons for me to make this decision. For example, Ajax is in trouble, but I think one of the main reasons is that I think this will be a new challenge for me."
"In the past few years, I have personally watched the transfer fees in European football become higher and higher, the annual salary of players is getting higher and higher, many teams seem to be very beautiful on the surface, but in fact they are under heavy operating pressure, even It has long been hard to make ends meet, but has to fall into the arms race. "
"Many of the reasons for this situation are very complicated. I have no way to explain it clearly, but I believe that in the final analysis, everyone believes that building big stars and creating a strongest football team is the truth of achievement , So they are willing to do everything possible to dig a giant star. "
"Of course, I don't deny that this is a way to achieve success, but what I want to say is that there are actually other ways."
"I see that many mid- and downstream teams are in trouble, and are on the verge of bankruptcy, or even bankruptcy. I have seen many young players who are fledgling at tens of millions, or even more than 100 million euros in transfer fees. I see more and more 'S team is waving checkbooks, but neglecting the club's youth training ... "
"This is unhealthy!"
"Many people say that European football is becoming stronger and stronger. This is indeed a trend, but I do n’t think this is the truth. I still firmly believe that football is round, everything is possible, strong teams It is impossible to win forever, and it is impossible for a weak team to have no chance. "
"I chose Ajax. This is the starting point of my career. I hope to come back here and start again in a new way. I hope to create a young, energetic, star-free ball. Team, and lead this team to work hard, and ultimately succeed. "
"I hope to tell you in this way that you don't have to build up stars and train young players to achieve results. Even this is the best way for the long-term healthy development of world football."
Yang Yang's speech was the first to be analyzed in front of the public, and everyone was very shocked.
He is qualified to say this because he has created an era of his own.
Yang Yang is the darling of this era and the beneficiary of the superstar effect, but now he has to break this superstition with his own hands.
The transfer fee is too high, the annual salary is too ridiculous!
If there is no change in European football, it will not be long before more and more teams will be difficult to maintain, it will be a disaster, an unprecedented disaster.
"Tonight, I specially invited more than 20 players from the Ajax first team to London. I did n’t know that I could win the prize. Even I did n’t even think I could win the prize. Here, I hope that they can take a look at this stage and let everyone see them. "
"Today, I am standing here. I sincerely hope and firmly believe that in the near future, some of our young children, Ajax, will be able to walk on this podium. Train them to become the best and the best professional players, let them bloom as much as possible! "
"I also hope that everyone will remember their names and Ajax, because they and the Ajax they form will continue to bring surprises and surprises to this European football world!"
"That's why I switched to Ajax!"
Yang Yang's words just fell, and the audience burst into the warmest applause tonight.
Everyone stood up again from the seat and gave a very violent applause.
Whether it is the club manager, the coach, or the officials of UEFA and various national football associations, even the players themselves, they are worried about the current European football and feel at a loss.
And Yang Yang, as the greatest and most outstanding player in the world football world today, he stood up and said what others did not dare to say, and used his actual actions to strive to find and practice a different way.
Fourteen years ago, Ajax of the Netherlands defeated Porto of the Portuguese Super League and won the Champions League.
Also at that time, Ajax and Porto stepped out of many stars and even created an era.
Today, Yang Yang hopes to lead Ajax back on the road, he hopes to reopen an era and change this European professional football that has been completely distorted by capital!
