Chapter 618: The temple is too small to accommodate the big Buddha

"It was ...... who won the UEFA Player of the Year award 2007"

With the podium, Gao Han said word by word in the microphone, sonorous and powerful words, everyone in the audience almost held their breath and looked at the podium attentively, especially several players who were expected to win the award. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

“…… Kaka!"

Kaka?

The entire Grimaldi Convention Center fell into a deathly silence, everyone looked at Gao Han on the stage in disbelief, and even Kaka himself opened his mouth wide in disbelief.

Gao Han raised the card in his hand and repeatedly announced, "Kaka!"

Then, the whole venue erupted in an extremely enthusiastic cheer.

Unpopular, this is definitely a big upset!

Who would have thought that it would be Kaka who won the Player of the Year in the end!

Even more surprisingly, Kaka is the first player in AC Milan's history to win Player of the Year.

The Brazilian stood up from his seat in disbelief, pursed his lips as if he didn't know what to expect, but he quickly accepted the congratulations from the crowd around him, especially as he passed Cristiano Ronaldo, who took the initiative to hug the Portuguese.

Both played for Atletico Madrid when they were coaching in Alpin, Kaka was the team's number one star at the time, and Cristiano Ronaldo was a rookie, but the relationship between the two was good and the friendship was quite deep, especially after the Portuguese transferred to Milan, the two also often corresponded.

But who would have thought that this duel would be a temporary victory with Kaka's upset.

Not only the players were surprised, but even Gao Han himself was surprised.

In the four awards just awarded, Kaka was shortlisted for the best striker, but it was Cristiano Ronaldo who won the award, it stands to reason that the Portuguese should win the award, otherwise, how to explain that Kaka did not win the best striker award, but won the best player award?

But the card in front of him had Kaka's name written very clearly.

Kaka walked all the way to the podium under the congratulations of everyone, still looking very excited.

When he walked up to Gao Han, the shy Brazilian player covered his chest and shook his head with a wry smile, obviously calming down, but soon, he stepped forward, opened his arms, and hugged Gao Han hard.

"Thank you Boss, thank you, thank you, thank you......"

Kaka kept thanking Gao Han's ears repeatedly, tears already sliding down his eyes.

There was a burst of applause and cheers, and Cristiano Ronaldo was the first to get up from his seat and applaud Kaka.

The surprise came too suddenly, and people couldn't help but reveal their true feelings.

Kaka will never forget that when he was at his most difficult and almost desperate, it was Gao Han who personally went to Brazil, personally persuaded him, and personally brought him to European football and Atletico Madrid.

It was also Gao Han's trust and reuse of him that made him change from being laughed at to Kaka, who was talked about by all fans, and became one of the most popular superstars in European football.

Without the high cold, there would be no Kaka today.

Cristiano Ronaldo can understand Kaka's gratitude for the cold, as the Brazilian has told him this more than once, and he knows it himself.

Back then, he was just a laughed country boy in the Sporting Lisbon academy in Portugal, and he was not valued by anyone at all, and even had the idea of going home, but Gao Han found him through his agent Mendes.

Encountering the high cold became the biggest turning point in his life.

Since then, he has risen from Atletico Madrid to Inter Milan, and it was Gao Han who personally cultivated him into a star in the world.

He has never been a person who can speak, but he has always regarded Gao Han as his most important relative in his heart.

On the podium, Kaka took the trophy from Gao Han's hand, walked to the microphone, and looked directly at the audience in front of him.

"Thank you to UEFA and everyone who voted for me, to all the fans who supported me, this award is a motivation for me to keep improving and I'm looking forward to the next challenge. ”

"But I want to say that my good friend, Cristiano Ronaldo, he just finished a fantastic season, he has won almost all the accolades, I know he deserves this award better than me, but I will try harder to prove myself, I want to say to him, Cristiano, our game is not over yet!"

"Also, my most respected head coach, Mr. Gao Han, you are the best in the world!"

The scene immediately burst into a round of warm applause, and everyone stood up to applaud Kaka.

Kaka turned around and hugged Gao Han again, and the two faced all the audience together, accepting everyone's congratulations.

…………

At the end of the awards party, there was no one happier than the media reporters.

All the five awards were divided by Gao Han's players, what kind of gimmick is this?

But the most surprising thing was that the final and most important Player of the Year award was not Cristiano Ronaldo, but Kaka, which was surprising.

You know, AC Milan didn't win any honors last season, and although Kaka performed quite well, he was still not as dazzling as Inter Milan's players, so why did he take it?

But UEFA did not explain this, after the party, media reporters interviewed Platini, UEFA president is also official, repeatedly said that the entire selection process is fair, open and just, there is no fraud.

"I'm sure anyone who watched AC Milan would deny that Kaka was one of the best stars in European football last season, and at this level, anyone could win this award. ”

As the mentor of the two superstars, Gao Han also said in an interview with the media, "Both players are the best in European football, and their performances are also the best, and there is no dispute about who wins the award." ”

Even Cristiano Ronaldo generously congratulated Kaka on winning the award in an interview with the media.

"No, no, no, I think Kaka deserves to win this award, he didn't win it, but his performance on the court was more convincing than any other title, and I am convinced that he won this award. ”

"Of course, I don't think I'm worse than him, we're just getting started. ”

This can also be regarded as Cristiano Ronaldo's response to Kaka's invitation to fight.

After attending the awards gala and the draw ceremony, the group was invited by UEFA to dine at a luxury hotel near the Grimalti Convention Centre.

From beginning to end, Gao Han was the protagonist of the banquet, with players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka sitting next to him, and Gao Han also said privately that Kaka's performance did deserve the award.

However, he also reminded Kaka to pay attention to his body.

'You've had a bit of injuries in the past and you need to be careful. ”

To talk about Kaka, he is not very old, only twenty-five years old, but his style of play is easily injured, especially the high-speed dribbling in the middle, many people can't keep up with his rhythm and can only be forced to foul.

Gao Han used his fiery eyes, and after taking a look at Kaka's data, he found that his injury tendency had improved compared to before, which is why he reminded him to pay attention to his body so seriously.

"I understand that the Milan lab has been keeping an eye on it as well, don't worry, boss, I'll pay attention. ”

For Gao Han's reminder, Kaka also listened to the teaching.

"You have to think about it more when you have the chance, at twenty-five, at the top of your game, but you also have to think about the next issues, especially when your injuries start to increase and you get older, you definitely have to transform, you know what I mean?"

Kaka nodded, he was a smart man, and he knew how to plan ahead.

No professional player can play in the same style from debut to retirement, when they are young, they need to try more, exercise more, and find their own role positioning.

Especially for players like Kaka and Arjen Robben.

Some of the bad transitions are often either retired early, or in the end, they are not guaranteed.

Kaka himself knows the importance of transformation, but he also knows that he really needs someone like Gao Han to guide and supervise him, so he looked at Gao Han and jokingly said: "If I can play under the boss, then I have nothing to worry about." ”

Gao Han was almost scared to death after hearing this, "Please, don't scare me, our temple is small and can't accommodate your big Buddha." ”

With Kaka's current value, looking at the entire European football scene, there are only a handful of teams that can buy him, but definitely not Bayern Munich.

"Hehe, boss, that could be you to come to AC Milan. ”

As soon as Kaka's words fell, Cristiano Ronaldo on the side stopped doing it, "Eh, I said, Kaka, you have a long ability, even if you grab the best player of the year, even if you want to grab the boss, even if he wants to go back to Serie A, it will be back to Inter Milan." ”

"Yes, yes, the boss is the favorite coach of Inter Milan fans, how can he coach his rival in the same city?"

"It's just, stop dreaming. ”

Everyone is greedy for Kaka to win the award, and now that he has a chance, why don't you hurry up and scold him?

Gao Han is the old god sitting on the side, drinking and eating food to watch a good show.

But on the surface, it is leisurely, but in the heart it is not relaxed at all.

After tonight, he will travel non-stop to Nyon, Switzerland, to attend the annual European Managers' Summit at UEFA's headquarters, and according to the process, the first day should be Platini's speech on behalf of UEFA, summarizing past Champions League and UEFA Cup matches.

It is said that he may also consult everyone on reforming the UEFA Cup.

Another important issue is to communicate the preparation and organization of the two European Championships for the new season, as well as the standards of discipline enforcement, which is also a routine that UEFA does every year.

Not only will it be communicated at the head coach's summit, but the referee committee will arrange for personnel to communicate it to each team, so that all participating teams are aware of UEFA's enforcement standards, so that they can be aware of it.

What really made it difficult for Gao Han was the agenda for the second day.

The highlight of the second day was Gao Han's speech, which was attended by more than 20 top European managers and UEFA technical officials, all of whom wanted to understand Gao Han's tactical philosophy and the core idea of coaching the team.

Since his debut, Gao Han has been coaching for many years, and has never lost peace, this record is magical, and it is naturally the focus of curiosity of all managers in Europe, and even many people may have the idea of grabbing Gao Han to the laboratory for slicing research.

Because of this, the agenda for the next day will be more interesting.

For Gao Han, it will also be a big test.
