Chapter 611 Who is it? [The third update of the explosive liver, ask for a monthly ticket]

As in previous years, the annual FIFA Awards Conference begins with a speech by FIFA President Sepp Blatter.

And Blatter's speech was basically the same. He introduced the role of FIFA and the achievements of the past year. Anyway, he said a lot of good things, and then looked forward to the next year.

After the speeches, the first prizes for the two youth teams were awarded. Aguero and Toni Kroos came to the stage to receive the awards respectively. The guests who presented the awards were the German star Matthaus and the Swiss star Chapu Issart.

Between the various awards, video reviews of major FIFA events in the past year and opera performances are interspersed.

Then there was the best player in the Beach Soccer World Cup, which was given to the Brazilian Bru.

It is worth mentioning that Barcelona won the fair play award because they refused to accept commercial jersey chest advertising, but provided it to UNICEF for free.

This is actually a very interesting thing.

Everyone knows that Barcelona's chest has always refused commercial sponsorship, but in today's highly commercialized professional football, chest advertising can easily exceed tens of millions of euros in revenue every year. Will Barcelona not be tempted?
The answer is, heartbeat, more heartbeat than anyone else.

Laporta once tried to attract investment on the chest advertisement, but the result triggered protests from fans and the media. They thought it was detrimental to the club's tradition, so they rejected the chest advertisement.

There was a lot of trouble about this matter at the beginning, but Laporta was also smart and chose the curve to save the country policy, and directly donated the advertisement on the chest of the jersey to UNICEF for free.

This can be regarded as a foreshadowing, using public service advertisements to test, so that fans and the media have nothing to say.

Everyone knows very well that when the UNICEF contract expires and the time is ripe, Barcelona will immediately attract investment in the chest jersey advertisement, and then the opposition from the media and fans will not be so strong.

Regarding this matter, Yang Yang didn't have any thoughts, because he thought it was quite normal.

Laporta's approach is indeed very clever. Not only did he escape the criticism of media reporters and fans, but he also won a fair play award for Barcelona, ​​and at the same time brought huge potential benefits for the future.

Therefore, it is definitely not accidental that Laporta has been able to bring Barcelona out of the chaotic quagmire and bring out the results of the second dream team in the past few years. He is indeed a very powerful Barcelona chairman.

On the other hand, Real Madrid, after Florentino stepped down, Calderon who took over could be said to be a clown-like figure. Many things he did were really dumbfounding. People are like dogs.

……

Sir Bobby Charlton's last speech after the Fair Play Awards got a standing ovation from everyone in the room.

Because, this time, Bobby Charlton presented the FIFA President's Award, which was given to Pele.

Bailey was so moved that he cried and said a lot of words of thanks.

Yang Yang once heard people say that after Pele retired, he was poor for a long time, but then Nike realized Pele's potential value, so he signed a lifetime contract with Pele, and tried his best to build the golden sign of the king.

So, to some extent, Pele has today's status and influence, thanks to Nike.

Of course, Nike itself has also benefited from it amazingly, and it can be regarded as what it needs.

But Pele’s situation is not an exception. Many professional players make money quickly while playing football, but they spend money like water, don’t know how to invest, and spend too much.

Therefore, when Yang Yang sat under the stage and saw Bailey's speech on stage, he thought more about himself.

"You said, after I retire, will I also be poor?" Yang Yang asked Su Ye beside him softly.

Su Ye turned her head to look at him, shook her head without thinking, "No."

"why?"

"When the time comes, I will support you." Su Ye said as a matter of course.

Yang Yang didn't know whether he should be touched or smile wryly.

……

The best men's national team was awarded to Argentina, and the most improved award was awarded to Mozambique. These are no suspense.

And the two personal awards announced at the end are also the grand finale, especially the World Footballer.

Marta from Brazil successfully won the title of Miss World Football. Beckenbauer presented her with the award. Marta cried bitterly when she won the award last year, and she shed tears this year as well.

This made Yang Yang, who was sitting under the stage, somewhat nervous, but also touched.

Playing football is not an easy task. From the youth training to the adult team, after being eliminated layer by layer, he stood out all the way, and finally entered a professional team. From the substitute to the main force, and then climbed the ladder of the professional league, he kept climbing all the way, from the fringe league to the mainstream league, from the second-tier league to the top league...

Along the way, I have experienced too much and sacrificed too much.

Seeing that countless people keep falling behind and being submerged since then; I also see countless people keep emerging, which is short-lived.

I have seen those who stood at the top fall quickly like a meteor; I have also seen countless people become famous overnight, which is well known to the world.

Suddenly, Yang Yang felt as if he was in a dream.

He wondered if he had been cheated?
Everything around is illusory, everything is false, it is all a dream.

Including Kaka, including Messi, including everyone in the opera house, even Su Ye who was sitting beside him.

All of these are dreams of my own imagination.

Because a few years ago, he never dared to imagine that he could achieve what he is today.

But at this moment, a warm hand grabbed him and squeezed it hard, as if to give him strength, but at the same time it made him wake up and convinced him that all this was real and not a dream.

Turning his head, he saw Su Ye's caring eyes with encouragement and affirmation, as if to say, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, whether you can get it or not, in my mind, you are the world's footballer.

This made Yang Yang take a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and smiled slightly at Su Ye.

Turning his gaze around Su Ye, he saw that Kaka, who was separated from Caroline, was also very nervous. He lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly at this moment, but it was not difficult to see from Caroline's caring behavior that Kaka must be extremely nervous now.

Yes, only one person a year!

Whoever wins this trophy will be recorded in the annals of football history and will be left in history!

Who doesn't want it?

Who can cruelly say no?

Even Messi, who is doomed to be impossible to get, looks very nervous at this moment, looking forward to a miracle.

What's more, the two parties Yang Yang and Kaka?
……

When the grand finale was awarded, the atmosphere in the audience also became tense.

I believe that at this moment, all the fans watching the live broadcast around the world are equally nervous.

Who will be the new year's World Footballer of the Year?

Who will be No.1 in world football?
The temperature in the opera house seemed to be raised in an instant, and many people's breathing became short of breath as a result.

Blatter took the lead in giving a speech, announcing the three most outstanding players, and played video clips of Yang Yang, Kaka and Messi on the big screen behind him, collecting their most exciting performances in the past year.

Yang Yang saw Messi's five consecutive goals against Getafe. Although he had seen it many times, every time he watched it, he was still very surprised. Because he played football, he knew how difficult such a goal is.

To put it bluntly, not only strength, but also luck.

Didn't Schuster, the former coach of Getafe and the current coach of Real Madrid, just say it?

After Messi had five players in a row, he was so angry that he yelled at his players in the locker room because they made a serious mistake in their positioning and did not foul in time and decisively, which gave Messi a chance to get five players in a row.

Yang Yang also wants to try, but he is patiently waiting for the opportunity.

He believes that as long as the opportunity comes, he will be able to create the feat of surpassing five people in a row.

As for the one that played against Arsenal before, frankly speaking, it really doesn't count.

……

No one knows what Yang Yang is thinking at this moment.

Everyone in the opera house was watching the video highlights and admiring the performance of three of the world's top players.

At the same time, each of them is also guessing, who will become this year's World Footballer?

Who will take this honor?
When the video collection ended, the big screen behind Blatter immediately switched to the scene, and at the same time played the reactions of Yang Yang, Kaka and Messi, among which Yang Yang and Kaka were the protagonists. Everyone knew that they were the last suspense of the night.

Yang Yang is the favorite, but Kaka may not have the opportunity to create an upset, especially considering the consistent operation of FIFA in the past.

Yang Yang, Kaka, and Messi all saw the big screen, and felt a little embarrassed when they realized that they were being photographed. After looking at each other and smiling, they all turned their heads away, trying to act as calm as possible.

Su Ye tightly clenched Yang Yang's hand, and she was giving Yang Yang support and encouragement in this way.

Following Blatter's announcement, the award presenter Bailey appeared on the podium holding the World Footballer's Trophy, and there was a burst of warm applause and cheers at the scene.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the opera house was tense to the extreme.

Especially Yang Yang and Kaka, they were both sitting upright at this time, and they were already too nervous to force themselves to calm down.

The two of them knew each other very well that they would lose their composure the moment the other got the general, but they would recover quickly and send blessings to each other as soon as possible.

But before that, they couldn't be nervous.

Because this is the highest honor for any player.

On the stage, Blatter was obviously very satisfied with the tense atmosphere at the scene, because it meant that there was enough suspense.

So, after smiling slightly towards the audience, he opened the envelope and took out the final list of winners.

"On behalf of FIFA, I solemnly announce that the winner of the World Footballer of the Year [-] award is..."
