Champion’s Heart

When Zhou Yi and his parents met in Monaco, in China, the media and fans were paying close attention to the awards ceremony. ??After the merger of France Football's Ballon d'Or and FIFA's World Player of the Year, the Best European Player hosted by UEFA has become an important award on par with the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

If a Chinese player has the opportunity to win this award, it is no exaggeration to say that Zhou Yi is the Light of China.

This awards ceremony and lottery ceremony also had the largest number of Chinese media reporting in Monaco.

Monaco has hosted many sports events, including the annual Champions League draw and awards. The most famous one is the Monaco station of the Formula One Grand Prix.

But no matter which sports event it is, there are not as many Chinese media as this time.

Even if the Chinese media pays close attention to the annual Champions League draw, they will not take pictures of so many people to report on the spot. Some of them cooperate with European sports media, and they can get relevant reports and content through these cooperative media. Some of them just steal other people’s information directly from the Internet.

This time, the Chinese media gathered in Monaco uncharacteristically, all for Zhou Yi.

CCTV even filmed a set-up team specifically to film Zhouyi.

This matter also happened after Zhou Yi was selected into the final three-person list, and CCTV quickly communicated and coordinated with Zhou Yi.

Because of the good cooperative relationship in the past, communication went smoothly.

In addition to being unable to enter the venue to film, CCTV could follow the entire process and use their third eye to faithfully record Zhou Yi's entire participation in the award ceremony.

Zhou Yi asked the other party jokingly: Aren't you afraid that I won't win the prize after such a big battle?

The other party said very seriously: We have prepared two plans.

Can both plans be used?

Well, anyway, it's for the record.

So after getting up on the 29th, Zhou Yi received a call from the contact person of the CCTV shooting team and began to arrange the shooting. Start with the very first makeup.

Although it is a documentary shooting, it is still necessary to put on some simple makeup, because just before starting the documentary shooting, there is an interview with Zhou Yi.

After the interview, Zhou Yi went to have breakfast with his parents. Since they had already communicated with their parents about the filming yesterday, neither of them were surprised. Zhou Jianliang was very active when facing the camera, while Li Cuiyun was slightly silent.

For most of the next half day, Zhou Yi ate in the hotel, and then went to the hotel gym to take some time for physical training... These were all faithfully recorded by the camera lens.

During the training, the reporter realized that this was a good material, so he asked: You have come to receive the award, why don't you forget to train?

Zhou Yi nodded: Physical training can be done anytime and anywhere.

During this period, Zhou Yi also accepted an exclusive interview on the official website of UEFA. During the exclusive interview, the reporters asked questions based on the premise that Zhou Yi won the award. The CCTV reporter was very happy and quietly asked the UEFA official who accompanied the reporter to the interview: Does this mean that Zhou Yi will definitely win the award?

The UEFA official shook his head: The final selection of the best player in Europe is different from that of FIFA. We use on-site voting. No one knows what the result will be until the last moment. He mentioned When speaking to FIFA, there was disdain in his tone. It seems that Blatter is indeed not very popular...

We have prepared similar interviews for all three candidates, and whoever wins the award will use his interview, a UEFA official explained.

CCTV reporters looked at Zhou Yi's words and deeds during the interview. He was very calm and calm. It was obvious that he was the person involved, but he was more calm than himself, an outsider... This guy has a big heart.

After the interview, Zhou Yi had lunch with his parents. During the meal, Borussia Dortmund's Eo Watzke and sports director Zorc also came to accompany him. The CCTV camera crew was filming nearby, and they all chatted as if no one was around.

Zorc also praised Zhou Yi for his physical training in the morning: I called Jurgen about it and he was very happy. But he also asked me to remind you to get some rest. After all, you have to fly again in the evening. Thousands of kilometers...

After lunch, he took a lunch break. After getting up from his lunch break, Zhou Yi went for a swim in the hotel swimming pool. As a result, he met three of his fans by the pool. They were not from Germany or China, but from Monaco. One of the locals was a waiter in the hotel, and the other two were his friends. It was obviously premeditated.

So Zhou Yi signed the Dortmund No. 23 ball they handed over and took a photo with the three of them while wearing swimming trunks with his upper body exposed.

When Zhou Yi went swimming, the CCTV camera crew interviewed these three young people from Monaco and asked them why, as Monegasques, they became fans of Zhou Yi.

They told CCTV reporters that they were originally fans of Dortmund, but then they were impressed by Zhou Yi's performance in Dortmund, and they naturally became fans of Zhou Yi. And when he learned that the film crew was from China, one of the cheerful Monaco fans also showed off his Chinese proficiency to the camera.

However, judging from the confused expressions on the faces of the film crew members, this Monaco fan’s Chinese proficiency is really not very good...

After it was over, the young man asked the film crew how his Chinese proficiency was. The film crew members, in a cordial and friendly manner towards their Monaco friends, gave a thumbs up: very_good!

The Monaco guy laughed and was very happy.

The UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony and Europe's Best Player Award Ceremony will be held at 5:45 pm at the Grimaldi Conference Center.

Zhou Yi came out of the swimming pool, went back to his room, took a shower, changed into formal clothes, and someone came to pick him up.

He and his parents will arrive at the venue in a special car provided by the organizing committee, and then walk the red carpet there.

After that, the CCTV camera crew will no longer be able to follow in for filming. They will stay in the media center and watch the live broadcast on the big-screen TV to learn whether Zhou Yi has won the award.

As for the Champions League group draw results?

They don't really care...

Tonight, for the Chinese media and fans, the biggest and only suspense is whether Zhou Yi can win the live vote and become the best player in Europe last season!

Because Monaco implements daylight saving time in August, there is now a six-hour time difference between Monaco and Beijing. The red carpet was at 5 pm, which was 11 pm Beijing time. The lottery ceremony starts at 5:45, which means it starts at 11:45 pm Beijing time. At the same time, the award ceremony is after the lottery ceremony, so by the time Zhou Yi comes on stage, it is already early morning Beijing time.

However, there will still be many Chinese fans waiting in front of the TV and on the Internet, waiting to witness history.

When Zhou Yi, dressed in formal attire, appeared on the red carpet, the Chinese reporters were particularly excited with the flash of lights. Not to mention the selection of the best player in Europe, this scene alone has already made history!

This is the first Chinese player to appear in this place in history!

Although Sun Pan helped Atletico Madrid win the Europa League in 2012, the Champions League was obviously more important in that year's best player selection. Moreover, as a goalkeeper, it is difficult for him to appear in the final results of major selections. inside. Therefore, Sun Pan did not appear at the UEFA Champions League draw ceremony and awards ceremony in 2012. He was recuperating from his injury in Madrid at the time.

In addition to the sound of doors, there were also cheers from fans.

Zhou Yi waved to the fans and the camera with a smile on his face.

Not restrained, but not excited either, just like how he behaves on the court.

He strolled past the red carpet and entered the door of the Grimaldi Conference Center as everyone else did.

The CCTV reporter's voice during the live broadcast was a little excited: Twenty-one seconds! The time it took Zhou Yi from getting off the car to walking across the red carpet and entering the Grimaldi Conference Center was twenty-one seconds! This is the twenty-one seconds that made history. Seconds! Zhou Yi fully demonstrated his style and composure in these twenty-one seconds! I want to remind everyone that this is a young man who is only twenty-two years old! Kaka won the first gold medal in his life He was twenty-five when he won the Ballon d'Or, Ronaldo was twenty-three when he won the first Ballon d'Or in his life, and Messi was twenty-two when he won the first Ballon d'Or in his life. Years old! For Zhou Yi, he still has a long way to go in the future. There are countless possibilities in his career...Zhou Yi has a bright future! 8
