Chapter 580 The Big Winner

Forgot when it started, Yang Yang seldom doubted himself.

Maybe it was the day he had the super training ground; maybe later, when he joined Ajax; or later, the night he helped Ajax win the Champions League; or...

He really can't remember.

Confidence is not an easy thing to get, especially a high level of self-confidence like his.

With the continuous enrichment of his professional experience, Yang Yang has become more and more confident, and he even feels that he can do anything.

When he saw Cristiano Ronaldo go three in a row, all he thought was, I can do it too.

When he saw Messi pass five in a row in Barcelona, ​​he told himself in his head, sooner or later I can do it too.

When he saw that major betting companies in Europe listed Kaka as the number one favorite of the world's footballer, although he didn't say anything, he was very unconvinced in his heart and cursed, these blind idiots!
He feels more and more like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but the biggest difference between him and the Swedes is that the Swedes like to express their ideas, but Yang Yang has never said anything.

At this moment, sitting in the Grimaldi Conference Center, at the moment when Platini opened the envelope and was about to announce the final winner, Yang Yang still looked very calm on the surface, but his heart was already turbulent.

He is not doubting whether he is eligible to receive this award, but is guessing whether UEFA will award this award to himself, because at the height of him and Kaka, whether he can win this award can only represent an honor.

Of course, if he can't get it, Yang Yang will feel sorry, and at the same time, he will scold UEFA in his heart, the guy who has no eyes, but what should he do afterwards.

He believes that if he thinks this way, Kaka beside him must also think the same way, but he can't say it.

For players at their level, the technical and tactical competition is no longer meaningful. What is more important is self-confidence and status, as well as the support from the team as a whole.

Therefore, when Yang Yang saw Platini opening the envelope, he felt a little nervous, but he used a smile to cover it up, because he knew that the live camera must be facing him and Kaka at this time.

I don't know if it was telepathy, but Kaka also smiled. The two looked at each other in unison, and then nodded to each other.

Wait a minute, no matter who wins the prize, the other party will definitely stand up and congratulate immediately.

This is their demeanor.

……

No one knows whether Platini knew the result before, but on the stage, he obviously wowed.

This sudden sound caused an uproar in the audience.

Everyone was obviously a little caught off guard, and they didn't expect the UEFA president to do such a thing.

But soon, the Grimaldi Conference Center fell silent again.

Everyone's attention fell on Platini, and from the corner of their eyes, they paid attention to Yang Yang and Kaka in the front row.

Both are still very young and will be the most competitive players in European football in the next few years, but who can win this award first and become the brightest superstar in European football after Ronaldinho?

Platini obviously also felt the tense atmosphere created at this moment in the conference center. He hesitated, but finally took a step forward and called out a name forcefully and cleanly.

"Yang Yang!"

For a time, the audience was in an uproar.

Yang Yang was the first to jump up from his seat, clenched his fists and shouted, then quickly turned around and hugged Kaka tightly.

"Congratulations, Yang, you did perform better." Kaka congratulated.

"Thank you, Kaka."

"You won this time, but I will definitely find a chance to win it back." Kaka laughed.

If the voice he spoke just now was still a little trembling, then this smile seemed more relaxed. Obviously, he has let go, which proves that Kaka's mind really needs to be more mature.

"Don't worry, I'll wait for you anytime!" Yang Yang also accepted the challenge with a smile.

Afterwards, Yang Yang warmly hugged his teammates Gerrard, Xavi Alonso and Reina behind him, accepted the congratulations from his teammates, and ran to the next door to hug him in front of coach Benitez. Along the way, he met Ajax director Ali van Eiden, and Yang Yang also hugged him.

Although he has left Ajax, Yang Yang still hasn't forgotten his time in Ajax.

He is an Ajax legend and maybe even when he retires in the future, he will consider returning to Ajax.

This is also a cycle of many professional players throughout their careers.

……

After running quickly to the podium, Yang Yang took the trophy from Platini with a smile, accepted the congratulations from the President of UEFA, shook hands and hugged him, and finally walked to the microphone.

"Well, I'm a little nervous now." Yang Yang said frankly.

Because he didn't even prepare his acceptance speech at all.

The audience burst into laughter, but no one would say anything about him.

Yang Yang is the big winner at the Grimaldi Conference Center tonight!

"I want to say thanks to UEFA, to the Premier League, to Liverpool, to Ajax and to all the teammates and coaches who supported me along the way, without you I wouldn't be here today."

When Yang Yang received the best striker just now, he had already thanked all his teammates and coaches, but now he didn't know what to say.

"Also, I would like to thank my family, parents, relatives and friends, Su Ye and her family, my friends, and of course, my agent Mino Raiola."

Yang Yang looked at the trophy in his hand, nodded and said: "To me, receiving this award is full of inconceivable and unique meanings, because I can still clearly remember that I sat in the audience several times and watched with envy many people came up to receive this award. At that time, I told myself that I hope that one day I can also step up."

"Tonight, I made it happen!"

Yang Yang's words won him thunderous applause from the scene.

All professional players and coaches have come this way. Everyone has watched others receive awards enviously, worked hard, and finally made themselves stronger and stepped onto the podium.

"What I want to say is that this is not the end. I am only 20 years old. I think this is just the beginning. I believe that I can continue to go further and longer. I believe that everyone will definitely see me on this podium in the future!"

There was another burst of warmer applause at the scene.

This is definitely calling out the fighting spirit in Yang Yang's heart.

But Yang Yang took two steps back slowly, bowed deeply to everyone in the audience, then turned around and walked off the stage amidst the warmest applause from the audience.

At this time, Yang Yang's outstanding performance in the Champions League in the past season was broadcast on the big screen on the podium.

With thirteen goals and nine assists, Yang Yang is impeccable both in terms of statistics and performance on the field.

Although many people are complaining about Kaka, in fact, Yang Yang truly deserves the award.

Because no one can obliterate his unstoppable state and amazing performance last season.

And everyone also noticed that when Yang Yang left the field, Kaka got up again to congratulate him.

Obviously, although the Brazilian players lost, they are still very personable.

……

"I didn't expect myself to be able to score so many goals in the Champions League last season. I think it all depends on the support of my teammates."

After the game, Yang Yang expressed his feelings about winning the award when he was interviewed by UEFA's official website.

"Winning the award is of course the happiest thing, but for me, helping the team and teammates to win the championship is what motivates me. I look forward to the continuous challenges in the future. I think our team is capable of defending the title this season."

"Of course, no matter what the future holds, the Champions League last season and this award tonight will always have a special place in my heart."

For Liverpool's draw, Yang Yang said that luck is not bad, but he can't be careless.

"Whether it is Porto, Marseille or Besiktas, they are all teams with considerable strength. We must take every game seriously and pay attention to every opponent, so that we can get a better and more favorable ranking in the group stage."

As for Porto leaving Anderson and Marseille leaving Ribery, the strength of the two rivals is greatly reduced. Yang Yang said that there will definitely be an impact, but Liverpool still have to be careful.

"I think our goal is to be first in the group, that's for sure, but both Porto and Marseille have the ability to stop us, so we still have to be cautious and treat it carefully."

Yang Yang also expressed his gratitude to Kaka. He believes that Kaka is one of the strongest players in the world, and he is also a very friendly friend. He has been with Kaka for many years.

"When I first walked into the Grimaldi Conference Center, I met Kaka. At that time, he was already a famous star in Europe, but he was very friendly to me. There is a very good friendship between us. It will not be affected by competition. On the contrary, this will allow us to motivate each other."

As for the FIFA Awards Ceremony and the European Ballon d'Or selection in December at the end of the year, Yang Yang said that he has no way to influence anyone's choice, but he is full of confidence in himself.

"We Chinese have a saying, do your best and obey the destiny."

"The only thing I can do is to let everyone see my strength, performance and status. As for whether they choose to vote for me in the end, I have no way to guarantee it, but no matter what, it is a valuable experience and wealth for me."

Yang Yang also believes that he hopes to help Liverpool win the championship more than personally winning awards.

Regardless of whether it is the league championship or the Champions League championship, Yang Yang believes that Liverpool has enough strength to fight for it.

"It would be better if we could have both." Yang Yang smiled honestly.
