"World Footballer of the Year 2007, the winner is ......"

When Blatter's voice reached every corner of the opera house through the speaker, everyone in the audience almost held their breath and focused on the stage and the two players on the big screen behind Blatter.

Yang Yang and Kaka both looked directly at the stage at this time, trying to make themselves look more calm.

But the expressions of the two of them can still clearly see their nervousness and apprehension at this moment on the enlarged screen.

Blatter also deliberately sold a pass, paused, looked at the two people in the audience, smiled slightly, and then ......

"Yang Yang !!!"

Yang Yang!!!!!!!

Almost at that moment, Yang Yang reflexively jumped up from the seat, clenched his hands into fists, shouted hard, then turned around, opened his hands towards Su Ye, who was standing up, hugged her tightly, and even leaned over and kissed her hard.

He was so excited!

I was so excited that I lost my temper and got carried away!

The audience burst into thunderous applause and cheers, especially when they saw Yang Yang kissing his girlfriend, many people screamed and cheered for Yang Yang!

It's not easy!

From Ajax's debut to the present, Yang Yang has shown surprising performances almost all the way.

This is true in the Eredivisie, in the Premier League, in the Champions League for three consecutive seasons with more than double figures, and this season in the Premier League, he has scored 22 goals in the first 17 rounds, which is insane!

If Yang Yang's performance can't get this honor, then FIFA will be discredited.

From now on, no one will trust the authority of the World Footballer of the Year.

When Su Ye separated from Yang Yang, she clearly saw the tears in Yang Yang's eyes.

She could understand Yang Yang's mood at this moment, as well as the difficulties he had made along the way.

She seemed to see the teenager practicing alone in the Almere skatepark; She seemed to see the young man running alone on the shore of Lake Odekerk in the cold winter; She seemed to see him sweating in the summer of that year, practicing behind the trapezoidal stands in the school playground against the sun......

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt very distressed, hugged Yang Yang hard, and cried.

Yang Yang didn't know why Su Ye was crying, but he felt that she should be happy for herself, so he also moistened his eyes, but comforted her strongly, and then turned his head and looked at Kaka.

The moment Blatter announced it, Kaka's whole person collapsed.

He felt that in his life, the closest he was to the world footballer of the year passed by this supreme honor, although he had been mentally prepared, he still felt very lost.

In the past six months or so, Yang Yang has won almost all the honors that individuals can get.

According to media statistics before, he has won a total of 21 individual honors, which is already the limit.

Tonight is the twenty-second event!

When the European Golden Globe Award was given to Yang Yang, Kaka knew that he was basically unlikely to turn the tables, but he couldn't help but look forward to a miracle and hope that there would be an accident, so he was lucky.

But as it turned out, there was really no fluke.

Yang Yang has performed too well and so well in the past six months.

He used his outstanding performance to completely kill all accidents.

As the French team newspaper said, whether FIFA is willing to award the award to Yang Yang or not, now in December, when Yang Yang has scored 22 goals and 6 assists in 17 rounds of the Premier League and 10 goals and 7 assists in 6 rounds of the Champions League, FIFA has no choice.

It can be said that apart from giving the award to Yang Yang, FIFA has no second way to go.

But Kaka is not an ordinary person, and after suffering a blow, he quickly regained his spirit and fighting spirit.

When Yang Yang and Su Ye separated and looked towards him, Kaka also stood up with a smile.

"Congratulations, Yang!"

"Thank you, Kaka." Yang Yang hugged Kaka hard.

The two of them have known each other for many years, and a World Footballer of the Year will not affect the friendship between them, Yang Yang believes in Kaka.

But what is certain is that Kaka will not rest on his laurels, and it could even be said that this year's defeat will only make Kaka more motivated as he wants to make a comeback.

In the next few years, Kaka, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will still be Yang Yang's biggest competitors.

Yang Yang politely hugged Caroline, and after accepting her congratulations, he shook hands and hugged Messi, accepting the congratulations of the Barcelona star, and also thanking Messi.

Then, Yang Yang shook hands with Gerald and Curran in the back row.

After all that, he walked briskly onto the podium.

At this time, the audience once again burst into thunderous applause and cheers.

On the big screen of the podium, the points of this year's World Footballer of the Year have been played.

Yang Yang has an absolute advantage, more than 1,100 points, far from the first, while Kaka has more than 400 points, ranking second, Messi only has more than 300 points, followed by Ronaldo, Drogba, Ronaldinho and Gerrard.

The Liverpool captain is only seventh.

Yang Yang took over the World Footballer of the Year trophy from Pele, and kept thanking Pele in his mouth, which made the Brazilian senior a little confused, but he clearly expressed his support for Kaka, why did Yang Yang keep thanking him?

When Yang Yang turned around and raised the trophy in his hand, the audience burst into the warmest applause and cheers.

The new year of World Footballer of the Year is born!

Yang Yang won the supreme honor of this professional player with an absolute advantage.

Starting tonight, he's officially among the superstars!

He will go down in football history with this award tonight!

Even after countless years, everyone will still clearly remember that world football in 2007 belongs to Yang Yang!

……

Yang Yang slowly walked to the microphone, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his mood.

"Tonight was a very special night for me."

Yang Yang's voice was somewhat choked, which made everyone at the scene feel the excitement in his heart at this moment.

"I came from a country where football was weak, China, and we didn't reach the World Cup for the first time until 2002, and that was the year I decided I wanted to play in Europe, so I came to the Netherlands.

'I went to a lot of teams but they all thought I couldn't make it and then I came to Almere and met Mr John Repp and he gave me the opportunity and a year later I had the opportunity to go to Ajax.

'I've never been a genius, I know very well that my desire to come to Europe is to be a professional footballer, I love to play and that's it, I never imagined that one day I would be in the top league, I would be able to go to the Champions League, I would even be able to walk in here and stand here and talk.

When Yang Yang said this, there was a thunderous applause at the scene.

"For me, tonight was wonderful, but I hope to take this opportunity to tell my compatriots that although we are still weak, as long as we keep working hard and strive for the top, we will have a successful day."

"I also want to take this opportunity to tell everyone that if you work hard, it will pay off because football is fair."

"Here, I would also like to thank everyone at Liverpool, manager Rafael Benitez, captain Steven Gerrard, and all my teammates, thank you all, it is your help that has allowed me to stand here, and tonight is not only an honor for me, but also for all of you!"

'I would also like to thank Ajax, Almere, Van Gaal and Van Basten, all the coaches and team-mates who have helped me along the way, without you I would not have been able to get to where I am today and I will always be grateful to you.

"Finally, I would like to thank my parents, relatives and friends, as well as my favorite Su Ye, thank you for your support all the time, I love you, thank you!"

In the end, Yang Yang slowly stepped back, bowed deeply to the audience, and thanked all the people at the scene.

At this time, the opera house burst into the warmest applause ever.

Everyone in the audience stood up and applauded Yang Yang.

For his story, media reporters have long reported it, but what everyone admires more is his tenacity and resilience, as well as the spirit of never giving up and never giving up that he has shown along the way.

There is no doubt that in the past few years, the World Footballer of the Year winners have been talented since childhood, Ronaldo, Figo, Rivaldo, Zinedine Zidane......

There are even many who believe that the reason why Beckham was not as good as Figo in 01 was because the two players, who also played in the right midfield position, showed two very different styles on the pitch.

Figo is clearly more talented and fits the definition of genius better.

And now, Yang Yang has won the award.

Is he a genius?

Some say yes, some say no, but it is undeniable that he is definitely the most diligent and hardworking one.

Coincidentally, another popular candidate this year, Kaka, is also not a traditional talent, and even in Brazil, Kaka is not a talent.

Many have defined him as a new-age attacking midfielder, in order to distinguish him from the previous type of midfielder.

On the contrary, Messi, almost from the moment he debuted, he was recognized as a genius in the eyes of everyone.

So, to a certain extent, this year's World Footballer of the Year is indeed a bit subversive, especially the selection of a player ranked outside the seventy or eighty in the world, from the weak football in Asia and the weak football country in China.

Before this Yang Yang, the last World Footballer of the Year from a football-weak country was George Weah.

Weah's performance at the time was certainly quite good, worthy of the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, but in the end, there were more or less political considerations.

But this year, Yang Yang relied on his solid performance to get these two honors, which is undoubtedly even more rare.
