Chapter 1264 Unprecedented
"I guess everyone is worried about you."

Sitting next to Yang Yang, Su Ye grabbed Yang Yang's hand vigorously and said with a smile.

Everyone's eyes were not only on the podium, but also on Yang Yang, because they were all waiting for the final result, and many people were probably preparing to show sympathy to Yang Yang.

It's the same with people, especially people in the sports world, they are more competitive than ordinary people, and naturally they are more unconvinced.

For a player like Yang Yang, no matter what field he is in, he is the easiest to be envied.

If he doesn't win the award tonight, maybe many people's hearts will be very happy.

Of course, they would definitely feel wronged for Yang Yang on the surface, and even scold Lawrence a few words.

Yang Yang turned his head and glanced around, hehe smiled, and there are also people who understand, such as Butragueno, head of Real Madrid's public relations department.

Many times, many things don't need to be put on the bright side, and there is no way to put them out.

But Yang Yang is not a fool, he didn't consider joining Lawrence at all before, but he came in the end, why?
Is it just to join in the fun?
You know, if he came, but didn't get the prize, and returned empty-handed, how much would it be a blow to him?

Even from the perspective of commercial value, it will be a major weakening.

Losing both fame and fortune, who would do such a thing?

There were quite a few smart people at the scene, especially when they saw the expression of the old god Yang Yang, they guessed it in their hearts, but they didn't announce the final result, and they didn't know how to judge.

What if Lawrence made a cruel move and played Yang Yang?

"Don't worry, all those who sincerely hope for my good will be satisfied with the result, and those who want to see me make a fool of themselves will probably be disappointed." Yang Yang gently squeezed his wife's pink and tender hands, and said confidently.

Su Ye gave him an annoyed look, and said nothing more.

She knew that Yang Yang has always been so direct and confident.

Even when Lawrence offered his bargaining chip, Yang Yang still didn't plan to come. In the end, after various negotiations, Yang Yang finally came to Shanghai to participate in this grand event.

In some ways, Yang Yang's presence was almost a victory for Lawrence.

In the past two or three days, Lawrence's attention in the world has reached an unprecedented height, and it can even be said to be the peak of history. This is also because of the influence brought about by Yang Yang's attendance. If it were before, how many people would pay attention?
So, this is more like a multi-party victory for Lawrence, the Chinese organizers and Yang Yang.

……

Moses, chairman of the Lawrence Sports Foundation, opened the envelope with a smile on his face the whole time.

When he held up the envelope in his hand and pulled out the paper card with the winner's name on it, he quickly approached the microphone and loudly announced to everyone in the audience: "The winner of the [-] Lawrence World Sports Award for Best Male Athlete is..."

All the guests in the audience, and even all the audience sitting in front of the TV and watching the live broadcast, all held their breath, waiting for Moses to finally pronounce the name.

Although Yang Yang had already made up his mind, he was still a little apprehensive, and he obviously exerted a little force on his wife Su Ye's hand.

He is very clear that as long as there are no accidents, after tonight, his status in world football and even world sports will rise to a new height, and he will become the pinnacle that countless people in the sports world look up to.

The key is, no accidents!
On the podium, Moses paused for a moment, took a deep breath, almost exhausted all his strength, and shouted loudly, "...Yang Yang!!"

There was a burst of exclamation in the audience.

All the guests were shocked, even those who had expected and prepared for it.

This has never happened before in the world sports world!

Yang Yang will become the first football player in world football to win the Lawrence World Sports Award for Best Male Athlete, and he may even be the only football player in the foreseeable future.

Moses seemed to be afraid that others might not hear clearly, so he repeated it loudly.

"Let us congratulate the football player from China, Yang Yang, with the warmest applause. He won the Laureus Best Male Athlete Award in [-]. This is also the first football player in history to win the Laureus Male Athlete Award. Let us congratulate Yang Yang! Congratulations to China!"

When the stone that had been hanging in his heart fell, Yang Yang felt relieved.

After the shocked guests, all the guests immediately burst into thunderous applause. More and more people stood up one after another. In the end, everyone stood up and gave Yang Yang endless applause.

Yang Yang stood up from his seat, turned around first and hugged his wife Su Ye who was sitting beside him, then slowly backed away, and bowed to all the guests who applauded him, thanking them for their blessings.

No one will doubt whether Yang Yang is qualified to win the award, and no one will question whether there is something shady about Yang Yang's award, because in the past few years, countless people have already complained about Yang Yang's injustice.

He has been shortlisted for the Lawrence Best Male Athlete Award for many years, but every time he is running with him.

Everyone could see that Lawrence wasn't being fair to football, which they always regarded as a team sport, so they always awarded the best male player award to individual sports, such as tennis or track and field.

But Yang Yang is completely different from previous football players. He has maintained his peak performance for ten years. He is the most outstanding superstar in world football in the past ten years. He deserves such an award.

Yang Yang smiled and waved to all the guests at the scene, and walked slowly onto the podium. Amid the warmer applause and cheers from all the audience, he received the Lawrence Best Male Athlete Award from Moses, and warmly embraced the chairman of the Lawrence Sports Foundation, thanking him for presenting the award to him.

After releasing Moses, Yang Yang walked to the microphone on the podium. He faced all the guests and enjoyed their applause. At this moment, countless audiences were watching him in front of TVs all over the world.

Yang Yang was a little excited, but he was not moved.

In fact, he never thought about winning Lawrence, and this award is not a must for him.

But tonight he took it, and to him, it was more like completing a matter of his heart, but there was not much surprise and excitement to speak of.

Of course, if he didn't get it, he would probably feel upset.

"Frankly speaking, I really didn't expect to get this award, really." Yang Yang said with a smile.

All the guests have already sat back in their seats. Different people have different understandings of what Yang Yang said. Some people believe it and some don't.

Yang Yang really didn't think about winning the prize, but that was in the past, and in the past two days, he came here for this prize.

He's here, he's at this great event, because he knows he's going to win.

Yang Yang doesn't know how to stick someone else's cold butt with a hot face, and he doesn't even bother to do it.

"Lawrence in the sports world is like the Oscars in the entertainment industry. They are the highest awards. In the past few years, every time I was nominated, I was very happy, because for me, the nomination was already a kind of affirmation, but I really never thought that I would be given an award, especially the best male athlete award."

Yang Yang's words once again received long-lasting applause from the audience.

Everyone knows Lawrence's attitude towards football. Except for the Best Team Award, other awards are basically not related to football, and the Best Team Award is placed first in the entire awards process, which shows how low the gold content is.

But the best male athlete award is different, it is placed in the finale position.

"As a Chinese, I am very grateful to Lawrence here, and I am very happy that Lawrence can come to China for the first time. I think this is a very good opportunity to make more Chinese people pay attention to sports. Through this platform, more people around the world can see China."

When Yang Yang said this, he deliberately paused for a while, he wanted to organize his thoughts.

"Tonight this award is not only awarded to me, but also to all Chinese sports players, all Chinese people, and also to all football players in the world."

"For me, this is a great honor, but I think, more importantly, it represents that football has really entered Lawrence. I believe that in the coming days, more and more football players will appear on this stage and get more and more recognition and affirmation."

When Yang Yang said these words, it was obvious that he was not only representing himself, but also representing all sports players in China and all football players in the world. In fact, no one can deny that he has such qualifications.

He is a banner in the Chinese sports world, and he is also a monument in world football.

Yang Yang took two steps back slowly, held up the Lawrence Best Male Athlete Award in his hand, and bowed deeply to everyone at the scene and the live TV camera, which immediately won him extremely warm applause.

There is no doubt that all the glory tonight belongs to Yang Yang.

Tomorrow, all the media in the world will definitely report on Yang Yang!

In the past, Lawrence did not have such influence, but now, Yang Yang allows Lawrence to have such influence.

More importantly, Yang Yang has once again broadened the boundaries of football. He is constantly improving the influence of football in sports around the world. At least, no one can deny that Yang Yang is not just a football player, he is also a legendary player in the world sports field.

Everyone in the audience stood up at the same time again and gave Yang Yang the warmest applause, as if welcoming him to step off the podium.

Yang Yang's demeanor was calm, but his wife Su Ye who was below was already moved to tears.

She is proud and proud of her husband!

And after Yang Yang stepped off the podium, the first person to walk towards was his wife Su Ye, and he hoped to share his glory with her as soon as possible.

At the very least, he was able to play football with peace of mind, thanks to Su Ye's dedication and sacrifice behind him.
