After the draw for the Champions League group stage has been completely completed, only one final event remains: the selection of Europe's best player for the 2008/2009 season. The three players in the final contest for the best player are Yang Fan, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Yang Fan and Cristiano Ronaldo led Manchester United to defeat Messi's Barcelona in the Champions League final, however, now, Yang Fan has transferred to Manchester City, Cristiano Ronaldo has also gone to Real Madrid, and only Messi is still in Barcelona.

On the big screen on the scene, the promotional videos of the three candidates began to be played in turn, all of which were highlights of their outstanding performances last season.

In 2007, Kaka became popular, when people talked about the three best stars in football, that is, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Kaka, now, two years later, Kaka is still a top star, but when it comes to the three best players in football today, Kaka's position has also been replaced by Yang Fan.

Yang Fan, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, all three of them are goalscorers, so this promotional video is a wonderful goal picture of the three people.

This was carefully selected from the many goals scored by these three superstars last season, and it was naturally a super bloody goal, and those who just watched it were enthusiastic and cheered loudly for the goal.

After the highlights were played, at the invitation of the host, in the warm applause of the scene, the three candidates were solemnly invited to the stage.

Yang Fan and Cristiano Ronaldo were both teammates and competitors when they were at Manchester United, but now that both of them have left Manchester United, this tense competitive atmosphere has faded a little, but they both miss the days of partnering together, and the two stood closer on the stage and chatted softly.

And Messi seems relatively lonely, after last season's disputes, Yang Fan's bad relationship with Barcelona can be said to be well known, he and Messi have also had a quarrel, although it can't be said that these two are opposite, but, at least, they are not friends, and Cristiano Ronaldo is now the star of Real Madrid, and the relationship with Barcelona's star can also be imagined. Moreover, it was previously rumored that Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo had a bad relationship, which was also verified by a certain Cheng dù at this time.

Of course, among these three people, don't look at Cristiano Ronaldo and Yang Fan talking with a smile, but, his heart is the most depressed, this time the competition for the best player, everyone also generally has a cognition, this is the competition between Yang Fan and Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo although he also has a good appearance, but his contribution in the Manchester United team last season is not as good as Yang Fan, in the Champions League final, Manchester United defeated Barcelona in the process, it is also Yang Fan who played the biggest role, really counting, Cristiano Ronaldo's table is not as good as Messi。 Therefore, this time, Cristiano Ronaldo is a character who accompanies the prince to study, which is indeed very unhappy and embarrassing for the arrogant Portuguese star.

Yang Fan's goals are higher than Messi's, and he helped Manchester United win the League Cup, FA Cup, Premier League and the most expensive Champions League title.

On Messi's side, his goals are not as good as Yang Fan's, but he also led Barcelona to La Liga and the Spanish Copa del Rey, only to lose Barcelona to Manchester United in the Champions League final. This is also the point where Catalans are least confident.

However, they have their own statement, that is, Messi's image is better than Yang Fan's, compared with Yang Fan's unruliness, Messi is more gentle and polite, which is very pleasing to the media, and I believe that there will be a lot of emotional votes for Messi among the judges and reporters on the scene. On the other hand, Yang Fan's relationship with Messi is really not good......

In short, the suspense of this UEFA Golden Ball Award is only focused on Messi and Yang Fan. This time, Cristiano Ronaldo's chances of getting the best are simply too low.

Each reporter has a voting machine in front of him, and each of the three candidates corresponds to a button, and whoever wants to vote is pressed the corresponding button. There is only one vote for each person, which means that everyone can only vote for the best player in their minds, and there is no first, second and third place.

At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo's face was not very good-looking, and he suddenly realized that there was only one vote in everyone's hand, and he was obviously unlikely to win the award for the best player, which meant that he would receive the fewest votes, and perhaps even less to embarrass him......

Thinking of this, Cristiano Ronaldo felt how depressed and tired he was, he regretted coming to the scene a little, if he had thought of this, he would have wanted to excuse himself.

The voting process went on quickly, because it was a process of voting on the choice button, and in fact, the media had already had the best choice in their minds before that.

Now, the result is in the hands of FIFA President Platini, he looked at the paper in his hand, and the camera was also aimed at Platini, trying to guess some clues from the facial expression of the big man: Platini admires Messi, which is no secret for a long time, and in the same way, Platini does not like Yang Fan, which has long been an open secret, of course, Platini cannot say that he hates Yang Fan or something, but, as the president of UEFA, he should have stood on a fair position, but Platini is not, and has publicly expressed his love for Messi many times before, this bigwig is very vague to convey a message to the outside world Messi is the image spokesperson that UEFA needs most, not Yang Fan, a guy who gives UEFA a headache and doesn't like.

Therefore, the director also wanted to guess the result from Platini's eyes, but Platini was very cunning, and his facial expression was so calm that you couldn't guess anything.

Platini glanced at the paper with the final result in his hand, then closed it, and then, he said to the camera: "In the past season, these three players have been so good, they are equally good, to be honest, any of the three to win this award, it is acceptable, but, unfortunately, there is only one ...... place"

At this time, Platini was speaking formulaic words, and those who didn't know thought he really treated all three players equally.

The camera swept over the faces of the three candidates, and then the close-up shot was given to Platini again, only to see the UEFA president say, "The winner of the best European player of the 2008/2009 season is" At this point, he deliberately paused, also to set up suspense, which is the usual method of the host and award presenters.

Everyone in the room, including the audience in front of the TV, pricked up their ears and waited for the answer to be revealed.

Platini's heart was a little unhappy at this time, he had hinted before that he hoped that the final winner would be Messi, but the result still disappointed him, it was the player he didn't like who won the award. Moreover, what makes Platini even more unacceptable is that Yang Fan's lead is still relatively large......

Platini coughed unwillingly, and then revealed the answer, "Yes, it's Yang Fan!"

When Yang Fan's name was pronounced, Manchester City CEO Gary Cook was the first to stand up and applaud. In his opinion, Yang Fan won the award, which is also the glory of Manchester City, which makes Manchester City also have a light on his face, which can be said to be honored.

I believe that Manchester United fans who saw this scene must be very uncomfortable in their hearts, Yang Fan has achieved great achievements in Manchester United, and won the best glory in Europe because of this, but it is a pity that he is already wearing Manchester City's shirt at this time.

David Moyes also stood up and applauded, in any case, Yang Fan's results were achieved by Manchester United, he was the biggest contributor to Manchester United last season, and he deserved the applause from Manchester United for reason.

There was also a burst of warm applause at the scene, so to speak, Yang Fan won the best, or expected, even those who did not vote for Yang Fan, put aside their private feelings for this player, just look at the results and performances, Yang Fan deserves to win the award.

Yang Fan also had a smile on his face, although this is not the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, but only UEFA's awards ceremony last season, but he is still very happy to beat Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the selection of the best players.

At the same time, the final votes of these three people were also displayed on the big screen.

The first was the number of votes for Cristiano Ronaldo, who received eleven of the fifty-three votes.

Second-placed Messi received fifteen of the fifty-three votes.

The final winner, Yang Fan, received 27 of the 53 votes, and his votes were one more than the combined votes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, which shows that more than half of the judges did not hesitate to vote for Yang Fan, which is a recognition and praise for this young man's great performance last season.

There are also some people who don't like Yang Fan very much, but they still put aside their personal feelings, but voted for Yang Fan more objectively, because Yang Fan's table last season was simply too good, and his table on the field was simply impeccable...... In the face of Yang Fan's excellent performance, it is difficult for them not to vote for Yang Fan against their will.

After receiving the trophy from Platini's hands, Yang Fan suddenly had the illusion that the UEFA president's eyes were unwilling. Of course, Yang Fan knows that this big guy doesn't like him, he doesn't care, there are more people who don't like him, he doesn't need to pay attention to it, let alone please, he just wants to play well, conquer with goals, he only pleases those fans and others who like him, and repays their support and love with goals and excellent performances.

Holding the trophy, Yang Fan said some words of thanks, he thanked his former teammates at Manchester United, Coach Alex Ferguson, Manchester United fans, and now Manchester City's coaches, teammates and fans. Thanks to family and friends, thanks to the fans who liked him. Anyway, he thanked everyone who should be thanked, and this is also the usual practice.

When Yang Fan lifted the trophy, the camera gave him a close-up, and the Chinese star's face was a sunny smile, and even a little smugness, a little frivolity, and more high-spirited spirit could be seen in this smile. On both sides of him, the smile on Cristiano Ronaldo's face was somewhat reluctant, while Messi did not smile, he was not a lightly angry and stingy person, however, he just didn't like Yang Fan, and Messi, who had always been gentle and elegant, was not able to control his temper when he lost to this person he hated.

This is definitely a memorable photo in the history of football.

Yang Fan won the 2008/2009 UEFA Player of the Year award, winning direct battles with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, which immediately became the highlight of the Eurosport media the next day, and in China, almost all the print and online media, as well as TV news, also reported on the event.

When Yang Fan was about to return to China to participate in the national team training, this award made the domestic Yang Fan even more popular.

Fans are eagerly looking forward to the early arrival of Yang Fan wearing the national team jersey, how much they are looking forward to Yang Fan's return, now, Yang Fan is the torch that warms the Chinese fans, and even the only light.

In 2009, Chinese football could not talk about achievements, let alone glory.

Can Chinese football still work, and can it still be carried out? This has become a question in the minds of all those who care about Chinese football and have witnessed the failure of Chinese football again and again, or even its degeneration. But after a long period of negativity, Chinese football has finally ushered in the dawn. In 2009, the Ministry of Public Security led the anti-gambling work in football to make phased progress, and a number of criminal suspects suspected of manipulating games, buying and selling football, and using football matches to conduct gambling activities were arrested in accordance with the law.

At the same time, national leaders have also put forward the expectation of improving the level of Chinese football and purifying the environment of Chinese football on different occasions, which has also become a shot in the arm for Chinese football to usher in a turnaround.

However, to be honest, at this time, most of 2009 has passed, and the time has reached the end of August, and it is about to enter September, which is also the most disappointing year for Chinese football. The World Cup qualifiers are in full swing, but because the Chinese team was announced in the group stage of the qualifiers, it is destined that Chinese football will become a spectator again in the World Cup in South Africa. This made the old fans who once watched the Chinese team win against Malaysia, Myanmar and other Asian weak teams like chopping melons and vegetables.

Under such circumstances, Yang Fan's return to the national team is like a spring breeze, blowing through the hearts of fans and giving them hope, or sustenance and expectation.

On September 9, the Chinese team will play a warm-up match against the African team Senegal in Harbin, which will also be the first official game played by Yang Fan for the national team in the real sense. Tickets for this game have long been hard to find, that is, the tickets with the worst position in the stands that originally cost only 30 yuan have now been fried to more than 200 yuan, and this is still priceless. This hot situation can be said to be a miracle for the current bleak Chinese ball market.

Senegal finally fulfilled the contract to play this warm-up match with the Chinese team, although the Chinese Football Association previously proposed to refuse to pay the appearance fee The Senegal Football Association was very dissatisfied, and they also planned to cancel the warm-up game, however, after learning that Yang Fan was determined to participate in this game, the Senegal Football Association finally nodded, after all, it is indeed a rare opportunity to play with the world's first value star.

The Senegalese team is on an expedition this time. Senegal's squad is made up almost entirely of players who play in the Europa League, and according to the arrangement, the players of the team will be concentrated in Lisbon, Portugal, after playing in the Europa League last weekend, on September 5. Senegal will play a warm-up match against Angola. Immediately after the competition, the team will fly from Portugal to Beijing via Germany, and from Beijing to Harbin. Long-distance flights, frequent transfers, and tiring journeys will inevitably cause great physical consumption to the team members. It can be said that in order to play this game, it is indeed not easy for Senegal, and the Chinese media who know this inside story can't help but sigh, this is the influence and attraction of the world's No. 1 value star, I believe that if there is no Yang Fan and no appearance fee, Senegal will not travel long distances to Harbin to play such a warm-up game.

You know, football in Senegal is known as the "national sport", although the current team table is not as good as before, but "the skinny camel is bigger than the horse", their players may not put the "small football country" Chinese team in their eyes, just like Chinese table tennis players against athletes from unknown countries, in addition, the minimum temperature in Harbin is only about ten degrees, which can be said to be extremely uncomfortable for African teams......

On September 2, 2009, at Beijing Capital International Airport, in the reception hall, there was a crowd of people, and many fans came to the scene, they all came to greet Yang Fan, and Yang Fan's flight will arrive at the airport in an hour.

In addition, a large number of reporters gathered here, some fans counted, and at least dozens of media came to the reception hall...... This lineup can definitely be quite large, and it can even be described as a terrifying reporting lineup.

After arriving in Beijing, Yang Fan will rush to Harbin to join the Chinese national team and participate in the team's training camp to prepare for the warm-up match with Senegal on September 9.
