Chapter 1066
The award ceremony at the Pardo Palace was not as grand as other awards ceremonies. On the contrary, the process here was very simple. All the winners and guests were standing on the side of the hall.

Princess Sofia, members of the royal family, and high-level organizers all stood in the middle, on the left and right of the row of trophies.

The media reporters stood opposite the winners and guests, separated by the red carpet.

After each winner's name was read, they walked out of the crowd and came to the front of the row of trophies, and the award presenters would also come over, take out the trophies to present awards to them, and accept photos from the opposite media reporters at the same time.

Perhaps, for this award, the most important thing is the place where the award is presented and the guests who present the award.

This is the authoritative Spanish national sports award, and the Spanish princess personally presents the award, which shows the importance.

The [-] awards quickly went to [-], leaving the last two, and the two most suspenseful at the same time.

The Best Ibero-American Athlete Award and the Special Outstanding Contribution Award, one belongs to Messi, and the other belongs to Yang Yang, so who will be the final grand prize?

"Next, let's move on to the next step."

With a word from the host of the awards ceremony, everyone's attention was attracted by him.

Yang Yang stood in the second row of the crowd, and in front of him were Di Stefano and Florentino, honorary presidents of Real Madrid, who were sitting in wheelchairs.

After hearing the host's words, Florentino turned his head specially, glanced at Yang Yang, and smiled.

"Don't be nervous, it's fine," said the Real Madrid president.

This endless sentence made Yang Yang a little puzzled, but he figured it out quickly.

Before becoming the chairman of Real Madrid, Florentino was the president of the largest construction company in Spain, and even in Europe.

Could it be that he just inquired clearly?

"Next, the next award we are going to present is the Best Ibero-American Athlete Award, and the winner is Leo Messi!" the host said loudly.

There was a burst of warm applause at the scene.

Messi was stunned for a moment, but quickly adjusted, walked out of the crowd quickly, and walked slowly towards the podium in the middle.

In the crowd behind him, Nadal patted Yang Yang's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile, "I guessed it a long time ago."

"What?" Yang Yang was a little puzzled.

"The Catalonia region has been troubled in the past few years, and it still needs to be balanced in many cases."

Yang Yang suddenly realized it.

In fact, football has never been just football in Spain.

Why Real Madrid and Barcelona will become the duo of the Western Super League?

Some people say that it is a membership system, but you must know that in the early years, almost all clubs in Spain were membership systems, but due to poor management, many clubs were on the verge of bankruptcy, so they restructured and canceled the membership system.

So far, the only remaining four membership clubs in La Liga are Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Athletic Bilbao and Osasuna, and these four teams represent four different regions.

Needless to say, Real Madrid represents the Spanish royal family and government, Barcelona represents the Catalonia region, Athletic Bilbao represents the Basque Country, and Osasuna represents the Navarre region.

These four membership clubs all represent different political and ethnic forces. Even in Athletic Bilbao, the team still only uses players with Basque ancestry and refuses all foreign aid, which shows its closedness. This is also a unique existence in European football.

As long as Yang Yang thought about it for a while, he immediately understood the meaning of Nadal's words. The Catalonia region has been troubled all these years, and even many Barcelona players have been involved in it. Now that the Spanish government is holding this special outstanding contribution award, it is more or less meant to suppress Barcelona.

Whether Yang Yang is willing or not, he is now the banner of Real Madrid, and Messi is the banner of Barcelona.

……

When Yang Yang was thinking, Messi had already received the trophy from Princess Sofia, held it high over his chest, and let the media reporters on the scene take pictures, and he always kept a polite smile on his face, so that no one could see what he was thinking.

When Messi walked down holding the trophy that was half a person tall, the host announced that he would enter the next session and present the last award of the night, the Special Outstanding Contribution Award.

Since it is a newly established award, the host also specially invited the president of the Spanish Sports Council to introduce the origin of this award to everyone, and the winner Yang Yang has fully demonstrated the style of Spain and Spanish football in front of the world in the past three years or so, and has made outstanding contributions to Spain.

"Especially this year, he helped Real Madrid win the UEFA Champions League three consecutive times, and also became the first team in Spanish football history to win six championships. He left a footprint in Spain that will never be erased. This makes us feel that we must give him enough respect and affirmation, so we decided to create this new award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to Spain and Spanish football."

"Let us give the warmest applause to this year's winner of the Special Outstanding Contribution Award, Yang Yang!"

There was even more enthusiastic applause at the scene.

Yang Yang stepped out of Di Stefano's wheelchair and walked over slowly.

Princess Sofia took the silver trophy that was also half a person tall, and there were some golden stripes dotted on it, which looked very design.

"Congratulations, Yang, thank you for your outstanding contribution to Spain and Spanish football, all of us will always remember you, thank you!" Princess Sofia said with a smile.

Yang Yang thanked politely, and after receiving the trophy, he turned around and accepted photos from media reporters from all over the world with Princess Sofia.

……

After Yang Yang received the Special Outstanding Contribution Award, the award ceremony was also announced to be over.

But Yang Yang still had no way to leave the venue, because the organizer had prepared a celebratory dinner, and he still needed to attend. In addition, there were media reporters waiting to be interviewed, and he also needed to deal with it.

Yang Yang was the first to find the Chinese ambassador to Spain, accepted congratulations from the other party, and was the first to accept interviews from domestic authoritative media.

He is proud of being able to receive such an award, but he said that he will not feel satisfied because of it, but hopes to make persistent efforts and strive for better results.

As for being able to win this award, Yang Yang believes that he should be most grateful to his family and teammates of Real Madrid. It is the hard work and selflessness of all Real Madrid players that have made him what he is today. He hopes to share this award with everyone.

"We all know that FIFA's annual awards conference is coming. Are you ready?"

Yang Yang couldn't help laughing, "I'm already familiar with it, so I don't need much preparation."

Everyone around, including the ambassador to Spain, was also amused.

Indeed, Yang Yang has already won five times in a row. It can be said that he is very familiar with the FIFA Awards Conference. What else does he need to prepare?
What's more, there is a group of excellent teams around Yang Yang working for him, so he doesn't need to worry about it at all.

"When you won the best player in Europe this year, you encountered competition from strong opponents. It is reported that you will also encounter challenges in this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or. What do you think?"

Yang Yang thought about it, "Iniesta is a very talented player. I can't describe how I feel about him specifically, but I know that a player like him is unique in today's world football. He is very good and has also helped the Spanish national team make outstanding contributions. So I think it is very normal if he wins the award."

"Of course, I think that in the past season, I also played my best form. Our team also won three consecutive Champions League titles and an unprecedented six Spanish crowns. Therefore, I think, whether we can win the award in the end, for me and Real Madrid teammates, we have no regrets."

After winning five consecutive championships, Yang Yang's mentality has indeed weakened a lot.

He has made history, and no one has won more top honors than him. He has won almost all authoritative awards. The only one that has not been involved is the Lawrence Best Male Athlete Award, but not only him, football players have never won this award.

Therefore, to a certain extent, Yang Yang no longer needed to deliberately fight for anything.

Yang Yang also said in an interview with domestic authoritative media that his next biggest enemy is not others, but himself.

"I need to fight against my own psychology. I need to keep myself hungry and thirsty all the time, maintain this desire to win, and then maintain my state, and strive to make myself better in every game."

In addition, Yang Yang also specifically mentioned the Chinese national team. He hopes to help the Chinese national team achieve a good result in the World Cup. Although it is very difficult, this is his greatest wish in the future.

Afterwards, Yang Yang was interviewed by media reporters from many countries, and his answers were basically the same. He was proud of himself for receiving this award, and he also thanked Real Madrid.

……

For Yang Yang to win the award, even the grand finale, everyone basically agreed. This was reflected in the major media in Spain and Europe on the second day.

In the report, they all expressed that Yang Yang's award, especially the finale award, was well deserved, and believed that Yang Yang deserved such an award.

Only a few media outlets in Catalonia believe that the order of the awards is tricky, and believe that a new award should not replace the Best Ibero-American Athlete Award and become the finale of the government's authoritative awards.

But these are all useless.
