Chapter 1562 We were all wrong!
If you want to say, in European football, who is Yang Yang the most irresistible person?

That Real Madrid chairman Florentino must be ranked first.

This is a difficult relationship, not only because Yang Yang has played for Real Madrid for nine years, but more importantly, during these nine years, Florentino and Real Madrid gave Yang Yang the greatest support, and even in the end, they allowed Yang Yang to leave on a free transfer.

Yang Yang asked himself that he was worthy of Real Madrid's respect and salary, but emotionally, he was somewhat guilty.

He knows that Florentino's respect and love for him has always been in his heart. He also clearly remembers how the fans of Real Madrid kept him.

That was the most glorious peak in his life, and he will never forget it!

It is precisely because of various reasons that Yang Yang is full of respect for Real Madrid and Florentino, so when Florentino personally invited him, hoping that he could return to Madrid, Yang Yang was really at a loss.

Even though he was already sitting in the first row of the guest seats, even though the awards ceremony had already started, Yang Yang was still full of the conversation with Florentino just now and the old appearance of the chairman of Real Madrid.

He is no longer as energetic as he was a year ago, which shows the tremendous pressure he has endured in the past six months.

……

"We were all wrong, Yang!"

"Me, Jorge, and everyone else, we all thought you could be replaced, especially you who are 32 years old. We think the young Mbappe has more potential, Suarez is the top center in the world, Hazard is one of the best wingers in world football today."

"Our midfield has top stars like Modric, Toni Kroos, David Silva and De Bruyne, as well as top midfielders like Casemiro and Kante. Our defense also has a group of outstanding superstars. Even our goalkeeper position, there are two world-class goalkeepers, Courtois and Keylor."

"We used to think that if everyone is there, you are no longer the indispensable person, but now we all find that we are wrong, and we are very wrong."

"When we lost [-]-[-] to Sevilla in the away game, all of us couldn't help but think, if Yang Yang was here, we would definitely not lose like that; when we drew [-]-[-] at home with Atletico Madrid, we all miss you who can always kill opponents at the last moment."

"When we lost [-]-[-] away to Alaves, [-]-[-] at home to Levante, and even a humiliating [-]-[-] loss to Barcelona at Camp Nou, all of us were thinking of you!"

"Yang, we used to think that without you, Real Madrid would still be the most powerful team in Europe, but when we lost [-]-[-] to Eibar in the away game, Solari, who had just replaced Lopetegui, told me that he was very strange because this team is very strong, but he always felt that something was missing."

"Later, he thought for a long time and told me that this team lacked a soul!"

"And you are our soul!"

"Come back! Come home with me! Only you can lead this team out of the predicament!"

"When Ajax needed you, you went back without hesitation. Now, we need you even more!"

……

Yang Yang knew exactly who Florentino was.

As long as he has other ways, he will not say such a thing to Yang Yang.

Real Madrid lost so badly this season, it was unbelievable, and even doubtful, is this the team that just won five consecutive Champions League titles half a year ago?

Yang Yang also pays attention to the news of Real Madrid, so he also knows that Real Madrid has indeed encountered problems. Even after the coaching change, it will be difficult for Solari to reverse the situation, and Real Madrid's performance is still stumbling.

There are many problems, such as the aging of players, such as the rapid decline of many people after their peak, but these are foreseeable, even within everyone's expectations, and are not enough to constitute the current poor performance of Real Madrid.

In other words, if it was just because of these, Real Madrid would not have fallen so badly.

The key lies in the players.

To put it bluntly, with the thickness and overall strength of Real Madrid's lineup, as long as the players perform normally, it may not be possible to win the championship, but at least they must crush most of the top European teams.

But in the end, Real Madrid basically announced the end of their dynasty in advance in this way.

When Yang Yang saw Florentino and heard his invitation, he felt very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.

But he still didn't agree on the spot, just promised that he would seriously consider it.

Florentino was not in a hurry, saying that he could give Yang Yang more time.

But Yang Yang was sitting in the first row of the guest seats, but what he was thinking about was not the European Ballon d'Or, but Ajax and Real Madrid.

It is definitely impossible to go back during the winter break, and it will not be until next summer at the earliest.

But how will he go back?
player?still……

…………

…………

The award ceremony of the European Ballon d'Or was hosted by former French star Ginola.

This player was once famous in Europe.

The first award was the Kopa Award, a new award just established this year, named after France's first Ballon d'Or winner, Kopa, and the scope of selection is young players under the age of 21 all over the world.

There is no suspense about the winner, French rookie Mbappe finally won the award.

It is worth mentioning that Cruyff Jr., who just transferred to Rome this summer, was also shortlisted for the Copa Award and attended this grand event, but his recent performance in Rome was not satisfactory, and he also did not show a good performance. On the contrary, after he left the team, Ajax's performance flourished.

The Dutch teenager had been looking at Yang Yang from a distance before the start of the game, obviously wanting to come over to say hello, but he felt embarrassed, after all, he made a fuss about leaving the team this summer, which made both of them very embarrassed.

In a way, he cut himself off from Ajax.

At that time, whether it was Yang Yang, Van Gaal or Van der Sar, they all tried their best to persuade him, hoping that he could continue to stay in the team, but he insisted on going his own way, and finally failed to achieve a good performance in Rome.

Now, even if he wants to return to Ajax, it is basically impossible.

The main players of the first team, Neres and Sancho, performed very well, and Mullen and Stens also performed well. In addition, Ajax still has two or three young rookies in Brazil, which makes Ajax not short of talents.

……

Also a new award, the Women's Ballon d'Or was won by Lyon's Norwegian striker Hegberg.

Subsequently, the World Cup champion coach Didier Deschamps and several core players of the French national team were on the podium. They accepted Ginola's interview, and most of the topics revolved around the Golden Globe winner.

Deschamps said that if the Frenchman fails to win the award, he can only accept it, "But I will be disappointed for the French players, because they deserve the award. They have won the World Cup with the national team and have achieved certain results in the club. They are all very strong candidates."

Griezmann also said, "If the winner of the Ballon d'Or is not the World Cup winner, it will be difficult to understand."

"Exchange the World Cup for the Ballon d'Or? Oh, that's impossible!"

Mbappe also hopes that the French will win the Ballon d'Or, "but I think it is only natural if Yang Yang is still the best player. He is a legendary player and the greatest player at the same time."

Finally, when the generals of the French national team walked off the podium one after another, everyone in the audience turned their attention to Ginola, and the grizzled French star announced the final result very simply.

"The lucky winner of the European Ballon d'Or [-] is..."

Everyone in the audience listened intently, and the entire Grand Palace became silent.

"...Yang Yang!!!"

Ginola called out a name that didn't have much suspense, and even made many people feel numb.

The audience still burst into thunderous applause.

Yang Yang quickly stood up from the first row, first turned around, bowed to the guest seats to express his gratitude, then shook hands and hugged his former teammate Modric and others one by one, and he also ran over to hug Zidane and Real Madrid chairman Florentino.

Finally, he walked quickly onto the podium.

When receiving the Golden Globe from Girano, Yang Yang took a closer look and found that there was nothing special about it. He smiled, raised it high above his head, and showed the trophy to everyone in the audience.

"Thank you to everyone! Thank you for your willingness to vote for me! Thank you to all my teammates in the national team, Ajax and Real Madrid, thank you for supporting me! Without you, I would not be here!"

"It's a great feeling!"

Yang Yang smiled at the crowd below, "When I switched to Ajax, many people felt that my time was over, even myself felt this way because I was already 32 years old."

"But at Ajax, playing with those young teammates made me regain the joy of playing football. We will do our best for every victory. It is a feeling that I have not seen for a long time. It has regained my motivation to keep going!"

"Standing here and receiving this award, I sincerely thank everyone, and I also hope and firmly believe that I will have the opportunity to walk on this podium again!"

"I will definitely come again!" Yang Yang repeated more firmly.

There was an extremely warm applause at the scene.

Although in the past few years, everyone has become numb to Yang Yang, but for a 32-year-old veteran, threatening to win the Golden Globe again, how amazing are these bold words?

But no one will deny that Yang Yang does have such strength and influence.

But it is easier said than done to return to the podium again?

Unless he can lead Ajax and create a miracle in the Champions League, otherwise, there is no hope at all!
