Chapter 825: Asia Has China, China Has Me!
When Platini read out that the winner of the 2009 World Footballer of the Year was Yang Fan, in distant China, it suddenly boiled, and a burst of excited cheers erupted in front of countless TV sets-
For many Chinese football 'fans', at this moment, the pride and pride in their hearts are indescribable, they have never been so happy, never so happy.
In Beijing, the capital of China, the whole city seems to be boiling, countless ball 'fans' go out of their homes, and the ceremonial 'flowers' bloom.
Many football 'fans' drove out of the car, waving the national flag, holding a portrait of Yang Fan, honking the horn, and celebrating to their heart's content. For football fans, this joy is even greater than Beijing's successful bid to host the Olympic Games......
Some ball 'fans' began to set off firecrackers, and Beijing has banned firecrackers for several years, but at this moment, even the law enforcement officers have turned a blind eye when they see the excited ball 'fans' setting off firecrackers, and their hearts are also so excited.
Chinese football has never been so proud!
Yang Fan: 2009 European Best Striker, 2009 European Footballer of the Year, 2009 World Footballer of the Year!
At this moment, Yang Fan stands on the top of the football world, and he is a well-deserved king!
In the studio, when Platini read Yang Fan's name, Duan Xuan jumped up and shouted excitedly, "It's Yang Fan! Yang Fan! He is now the World Footballer! Congratulations, congratulations to him! European Footballer, World Footballer, he is two gentlemen in one!"
"This night belongs to Yang Fan, and it belongs to Chinese football and Chinese football 'fans'!" He Wei shouted, "We in China have finally produced a world-class superstar, Yang Fan, at this moment, he is the best in the world!"

In the award hall of the Zurich Convention Center, Yang Fan got up from his seat, and the head coach next to him, Mancini, came up to hug and congratulate him, and Manchester City club president Mubarak and Manchester City club CEO Gary Cook came to congratulate the Chinese star excitedly.
Then, Yang Fan left his seat, he did not immediately go to the rostrum, but walked to the seat of Manchester United Club, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson was also present today, he is the best coach of the year.
Yang Fan wants to thank Ferguson, after all, he was able to get the European Footballer and the World Footballer, mainly because of his outstanding results in Manchester United last season, not in Manchester City now, so the old coach Ferguson should be said to be his mentor who was able to obtain this supreme glory, and he must thank him anyway.
Yang Fan walked to Ferguson's side, and he hugged the Scottish coach: "Coach, I can't do without your help today, thank you for teaching me." ”
Ferguson also had mixed feelings, he hugged Yang Fan, patted the former disciple on the back, and said, "This is the reward you deserve, kid." Congratulations! You're the best. ”
The camera at the scene recorded this touching moment, and then Yang Fan said hello to his old friends from Manchester United, and then walked over to the rostrum.
When he passed by Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo stood up, and the Portuguese took the initiative to come over and hug Yang Fan, who whispered in Yang Fan's ear, "Yang, I won you last year, this time you won, and the next time I will win." ”
"Let the horses come. Yang Fan laughed.
The seats of Barcelona and Real Madrid are next to each other in separate corridors, Yang Fan watched Messi come over in surprise, and the Argentine also sent congratulations with grace. Although he has a poor relationship with Messi, Yang Fan has to admire Messi's demeanor, at least, Yang Fan has to admit that if he empathizes with Messi and wins the award and loses, he doesn't know if he will come over to congratulate Messi.
"Next year, I won't lose to you again. Messi said with a smile.
That's what I'm going to say. The two shook hands and embraced.
The so-called hero, soaring for nine days, has to have three or two opponents, such a life will not be too boring, isn't it?!
※※※※※※※
There was warm applause at the scene.
"Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi both came to congratulate Yang Fan, they seem very personable! These three talented young people, their competition will be the main theme of world football in the next few years!" He Wei said. Read the full text of the latest chapter
Yang Fan walked to the rostrum, and during the whole process, the left and right people in the theater hall stood up and applauded him.
This is the honour that the number one star in world football should enjoy in 2009.
Yang Fan took a solid step under his feet, and he walked all the way to the podium, then shook hands with FIFA President Sepp Blatter, and then with UEFA President Michel Platini.
These two bigwigs have had a big holiday with Yang Fan because of some things before, but at this moment, the faces of the two bigwigs are full of smiles, and when they shake hands, they pat Yang Fan's shoulder and say a few words of encouragement, which is a very harmonious scene.
After shaking hands with Yang Fan, Platini presented Yang Fan with the World Footballer of the Year trophy.
At this time, the applause of the scene reached its peak, which was the highest moment of the year's awards ceremony.
Yang Fan took the trophy, he kissed the trophy, held it up to show everyone, and in the applause, he came to the back of the podium under the guidance of Sky Sports beauty anchor Jackson, ready to deliver an acceptance speech.
The applause rang out for more than ten seconds, and then gradually fell, and everyone also took their seats.
"I don't know if Yang Fan can speak in English or Chinese?" said Duan Xuan in the studio.
Previously, during the European Golden Ball Awards ceremony, Yang Fan used Chinese, which made the Chinese very 'excited', but the European Golden Ball Award ceremony is much smaller than the World Footballer Award Ceremony, and the World Footballer Award Ceremony is broadcast live to the world, with more than a hundred countries and regions witnessing the moment, so whether Yang Fan will choose to speak in English, they don't know.
※※※※※※※
Yang Fan smiled first, and then spoke: "Thank you, thank you, and thank you, thank you for giving me this award......
Yang Fan speaks Chinese, and he has never thought of using English on such an occasion, although his English is quite good: this occasion is an occasion of glory, a moment of pride and pride, and he uses his native language as a matter of course!
Of course, although Yang Fan chose to speak in Chinese, there is no need to worry that the people below will not understand, there is simultaneous interpretation in the venue - there was no simultaneous interpretation in Chinese before, and now because Yang Fan has become one of the candidates, simultaneous interpretation in Chinese is still provided. After all, FIFA has to think comprehensively, and they have also considered the situation if the Chinese star chooses to speak in Chinese after winning the award, and now it seems that fortunately they have been prepared.
"Yang Fan chose to speak in his native language, which was definitely the proudest and happiest day since we watched the FIFA Awards Ceremony. Duan Xuan shouted excitedly and proudly.
“…… I have to thank Manchester United, the team I played for last season. I know why I won this award, last season was a fantastic season, we fought until the end, won a lot of honours and I still miss the days when I played with them. I would like to thank a lot of people, thank you to Coach Alex Ferguson, he is like a wise and stern elder, my success is inseparable from his teachings, in my heart, he is the most respectable coach. I would also like to thank my team-mates at Manchester United, without their help, I would not be able to stand here at this time, football is a collective sport, I am proud of my glory at this moment, I have their credit! I am very honored to be able to win the Champions League with them, to win so many titles!"
There was warm applause at the scene, and Yang Fan's words were very appropriate.
In fact, all the players who have worked with Yang Fan, most of them have a very good relationship with Yang Fan, although Yang Fan is described by the media as an unruly and perverse 'sex' personality, but after actually contacting Yang Fan, they will find that this is a young man who gets along very well, very lively, very energetic, very combative, of course, Yang Fan's performance on the court also makes them sincerely admire.
At this moment, there are many Manchester United players watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, and when they heard Yang Fan say this, they all smiled happily and applauded, they also missed the days of playing with Yang Fan.
At this point, the television broadcast gave a close-up to Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, who was a happy and relieved godfather who had returned from a brief retirement and was once again on the verge of returning.
※※※※※※※
After thanking Manchester United, Yang Fan continued to give his speech, still grateful: "I also want to thank the team I am currently playing for, Manchester City, this is a very ambitious club, my teammates are also very good, we work hard together for dreams and glory, I want to thank them for their help, I am very happy to play with them." ”
The footage is very interesting to give a close-up of UEFA President Platini and FIFA President Blatter. When Manchester City brandished a cheque book in the transfer market and made a big purchase, these two bigwigs either tactfully or directly criticized, they believed that Manchester City's move was a harm to traditional football, in addition, Manchester City bought Yang Fan at a crazy price of 150 million pounds, which created the first value in football, both Platini and Blatter have expressed their positions on this, thinking that this price is too exaggerated, which will disturb ' Chaos 'the entire football market: In a word, whether it is UEFA or FIFA, some of the behaviors of the local tyrant Manchester City are unaccustomed to it......
Therefore, at this moment, Yang Fan's mention of Manchester City's ambitions and dreams is indeed a little embarrassing for the two bigwigs.
Of course, among the audience, the senior management of Manchester City Club was very excited and proud.
Finally, Yang Fan thanked his family and friends.
"Special thanks to my family, if it weren't for them, I wouldn't be able to stick to today, when I pursued my football dream, there were setbacks, there were losses, but I have always given up and wavered, it is their support and encouragement that has allowed me to stick to my football dream, so that I can stand here today to express my feelings to you. ”
"I would also like to thank all the football 'fans' who have supported me, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart, I want to say that it is my greatest pride to be able to show you the goals and 'colors' on the field, because your love and support make me full of motivation and emotion. Thank you. ”
There was warm applause at the scene, and in front of the TV, countless Yang Fan's ball 'fans' also cheered happily.
※※※※※※※
"Today, I'm standing here and getting this award. Yang Fan said, "This may be something that many people did not dare to imagine a few years ago, and it should be a particularly meaningful thing for a Chinese to stand on this podium." ”
There was a burst of good-natured laughter at the scene, at this time, no one would question Yang Fan's football talent, let alone dare to say anything, Yang Fan won respect with his 'color' expression, and also won respect for his motherland.
"At this moment, I want to say to all Chinese football 'fans' and Chinese engaged in football, I am very proud and proud, this pride and pride comes from your support for me, from your love for football all the time, today I can stand here, in the future, there will be people in my motherland who hope to stand here, dreams are there, and it is possible." ”
"Chinese can also play football well and enjoy the glory and happiness brought by football. We were even able to do better, and I was able to stand here, and that says a thing. Yang Fan finally said.
The scene was quiet at first, and then warm applause rang out, although these words made the European and American people a little embarrassed, but for a young man who loves his motherland, people always maintain respect and affection.
"That's great, Yang Fan!!" In the CCTV studio, Duan Xuan and He Wei shouted together.
"Women, gentlemen, I love to win, I like championships, I love the joy of football, this is the purest enjoyment of sports, thank you. He picked up the trophy, "I believe that I will have the opportunity to stand here in the future, which is what motivates me to continue to work hard and fight." ”
In a burst of applause and whistles, Yang Fan hugged Platini and Blatter again, of course, he couldn't immediately podium, because the second and third places will come to the stage to receive their trophies, and then the three of them will take a group photo together, which is also customary.
Subsequently, the second Messi and the third Cristiano Ronaldo also took the stage to receive the trophies symbolizing the runner-up and third place in the 2009 World Footballer of the Year selection.
Yang Fan stands in the middle, with Messi on his left and Cristiano Ronaldo on his right.
Messi born in 1987, Yang Fan born in 1988, and Cristiano Ronaldo born in 1985, they are leading the football 'tide' of this era.

After the award ceremony, FIFA held a press conference for the new World Footballer of the Year in the press hall of the Zurich Congress Center.
Many top media in the world, including the official website of FIFA, will conduct a joint interview with Yang Fan.
Yang Fan walked into the press conference wearing the national flag and smiling, and before him, nearly 200 Chinese and foreign reporters had been waiting at the scene for a long time. There are no opening remarks, just direct questions.
FIFA Official Website: "Did you think you could become the 2009 World Footballer of the Year before you got the trophy today?
Yang Fan nodded and said: "From a competitive point of view, I have confidence in myself, my teammates and I gave a lot last season and gained a lot of glory, from this point of view, I am confident that I will stand on that podium and lift the trophy of Mr. Footballer. And being able to win the European Ballon d'Or and then won the World Footballer of the Year, this made me very 'excited', when I sat in my seat, I thought, this is a proud moment, proving that yellow-skinned Chinese can also achieve honor and achievement in football, for some people who do not know about Chinese football before, they will feel that I am here, the honor I have achieved is a miracle, but I want to say that there will be more miracles in my future football career, please believe me, wait for me. ”

"Associated Press" reporter: "Yang, we all know that you were born in 1988, and now you are only 21 years old, you are very young, do you have anything to say about your future career? Many of your football 'fans' may be worried that you have achieved such achievements at such a young age, will you be 'lost' because of this?"
Yang Fan said: "Yes, I am still young, it is not easy to achieve such glory at the age of twenty-one, many people stand at the top when they are young, and then they will' Lost, but I believe I won't, I will continue to work hard, continue to give my football performances on the pitch to all the people who love me and support me, there are more glory waiting for me in the future, I also believe that tonight will not be the first time, I believe that I still have the opportunity to stand on that podium, the opportunity depends on myself, I believe I can do it. ”
Reuters: "Did Barcelona beat Lionel Messi in the Champions League final give you a psychological advantage in this race?"
Yang Fan smiled and said: "Messi is a very good player, very good, and an opponent that I respect very much, the game with Barcelona is very 'fine', I will often think of this game, unfortunately, the final win is me and Manchester United, Messi and Barcelona players are also worthy of admiration, I feel sorry for him, every athlete has prepared for such an ultimate showdown, for that stage for so long." But competitive competition is so cruel, there are winners, and there are temporary disappointments. The victory in that match had no effect on me at the award ceremony today, because Messi was very good in the following period, the result of a match only represents the past, of course, I have confidence in myself, I have always faced it according to my mentality. ”
※※※※※※※
An AFP reporter: "I know that the current situation of Chinese football is very bad, it is very strange, why can your achievements and strength in football be so good?"
Yang Fan glanced at the French reporter, "Regarding the situation of Chinese football, I don't want to say more, and it is not appropriate for me to say anything, but what I want to say is that at this moment, I am standing here, I am the best player in 2009, I want to change your concept, don't think that Chinese or Asians are inferior to Europe and the United States in football projects, through guò hard work, through guò hard work and scientific development, we will also do well." In the coming time, I will continue to work the field, I will be more excited to find goals and wins, and I will tell the world: Asia has China, China has me. ”
