At the same time, the staff sent by Smith to Huaxia to organize the foundation also met with Mr. Shen Peng. Mr. Shen Peng www.biquge.info pen ~ fun ~ pavilion was very appreciative of Xiao Yang's first donation of 1 million euros, and he immediately agreed to name the foundation after himself, and expressed his willingness to hold a press conference with the Gossau club for the establishment of the foundation, and generously donated 200,000 yuan to the foundation. Shen Lao's generosity made Xiao Yang sigh again.

According to the time of the pre-match training camp of the Gossau team, Xiao Yang also set the date for the unveiling of the new stadium, that is, on January 15, 2014, Xiao Yang asked Smith to invite several influential teams in Switzerland to hold an invitational tournament at the new stadium, and these teams will decide the final champion through a round-robin format, and the champion can also get a trophy. Now that the Swiss league is on a winter break, this invitational tournament can be used as a warm-up match for these teams before the start of the second half of the season.

In addition, according to Xiao Yang's vision, this invitational tournament can be held regularly in the future, the broadcast rights of the competition can be sold to TV stations, and the ticket income and broadcast fees can be donated to charity after deducting the necessary expenses. Of course, the foundation that Xiao Yang has just set up is the first recipient of donations.

Smith agrees with Xiao Yang's idea, and holding such an invitational tournament will undoubtedly get fans familiar with the new stadium as soon as possible, and can also further expand the club's influence. He nodded, and went down to find someone to do this.

The new year was fast approaching, and Smith reported to Xiao Yang the results of his invitation to the opening of the new stadium, and he invited three Swiss Super League teams, namely Zurich, Basel and Juniors. With the addition of Gosau, these four teams happen to be in the final four of the Swiss league right now.

They were also looking for a warm-up opponent during the winter break, and now that Gossau has unveiled their new stadium and invited them to play an invitational tournament, they will of course buy it, and they can also familiarize themselves with the characteristics of Gosau's new stadium in advance.

The schedule of this tournament is that the four teams will play a round-robin first, and then the top two points will play a final to decide the champion of this invitational tournament, and the championship trophy Smith has found someone to customize, called the "Wind Thunder Cup".

Xiao Yang has nothing to say about this name, since the stadium is already called "Wind Thunder Stadium", it is not a big deal to call a small trophy of an invitational tournament "Wind Thunder Cup".

The broadcast rights of this invitational tournament were also sold to the Swiss National Sports One for 1 million euros; Tickets for the match are also on sale, and sales are doing very well so far, especially for the opening match of the new stadium, the match between Gossau and Zurich, which has been sold out in just a few days, and with this momentum, the attendance of this match will definitely be full. After all, it was Gosau's first game at the new stadium and it was worth remembering.

Ticket prices for the match were set at €5, €10 and €15, with VIP seats costing €50 per seat and boxes costing €1,000 each. There will be a total of 7 games in this invitational tournament, and judging from the current momentum of ticket sales, the ticket revenue of this invitational tournament may reach 2 million to 3 million euros, plus the income from broadcast fees, after deducting the fees, it is estimated that there will be a balance of about 2 million euros, and it will be a big deal to donate to charity when the time comes.

Xiao Yang has handed over all these tasks to Smith, and he also has a lot of things to do now. First of all, on the 7th he will travel to Zurich for the annual FIFA awards ceremony to be held there, as he was shortlisted as the final three-person shortlist for the 2013 Men's Manager of the Year.

Gosau were also invited to the team by Eggman, Avantsini, Holensten, Gugelmann, Salihovic and Antunovic, with Eggman and Avantzini in the final three-man shortlist for the Ballon d'Or, while the rest of the 23-man squad for the best player will be in the best team.

In recent years, at the FIFA annual awards, there are always those old faces, which makes people feel that there is no new idea, and many people feel that this award ceremony is becoming more and more boring.

There was little suspense about the Coach of the Year award this time, and Gosau's five-time title overshadowed the other two candidates, Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson and Swiss national team manager Heathfield, in front of Xiao Yang.

However, the competition for the Ballon d'Or is still very suspenseful, and Avazini may have little hope, but the competition between Egerman and Messi is still fierce.

Egerman's performances over the past year have been unparalleled, scoring a staggering 100 goals and winning every top scorer accolade he can get, as well as beating Lionel Messi in team results; Messi is not as good as Eggman in terms of individual performance and team results, but he also has the advantage of being much more famous than Eggman, and as a winner of the Ballon d'Or for four consecutive years, he is far more well-known than Eggman among the coaches and captains of the national teams who participated in the vote, and these votes are likely to go to Messi due to inertia.

On the evening of January 7, the 2013 FIFA Awards Ceremony was held at the Zurich Opera House. Ceremonies for today's awards ceremony are former football star Jurgen Klinsmann and renowned Swiss sports presenter Murray.

At the start of the ceremony, the 2013 Team of the Year Award was presented to Beckenbauer. The best line-up is the 433 lineup, the goalkeeper is Real Madrid's Casillas, the four defenders from left to right are Barcelona's Alves, Gosau's Salihovic, Manchester United's Nemanja Vidic and Gosau's Gugelman, the three midfielders are Barcelona's Xavi, Gosau's Antunovic and Avandzini, and the three forwards are Barcelona's Messi, Gosau's Egerman and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.

Gossau were undoubtedly the biggest winners in this winning squad, with five of the 11 players occupied, which is the best tribute to their impressive achievements over the past year. Barcelona occupy three seats, Real Madrid occupy two, and Manchester United take the last spot.

Ahead of the announcement of the 2013 Men's Head Coach of the Year, a highlight reel was shown of some of the best footage from Gosau in 2013 and their five titles. After the highlights were played, the audience burst into applause, and they all knew who won the award.

Sure enough, award presenter Lineker then read out the list of winners: "The winner of the 2013 Men's Head Coach of the Year is Mr. Xiao Yang of Gossau Club!" ”

The scene once again burst into warm applause, and all the audience turned their eyes to Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang got up from his seat and walked onto the rostrum amid everyone's applause.

Lineker smiled and said to Xiao Yang, "Congratulations, Mr. Xiao Yang. As far as I know, you're not 30 years old this year, are you? ”

Xiao Yang thought for a while and said, "Yes, I won't be 30 years old until August this year." ”

Lineker exclaimed, with some exclaim: "Wow, then you are the youngest winner in the history of this award!" To receive this award at such a young age is a proud achievement! ”

Xiao Yang said humbly: "Maybe it's just because I'm a little luckier than others." ”

Lineker picked up the trophy for Best Manager, handed it to Xiao Yang and said, "This trophy is so beautiful, it makes me want to be a head coach a little bit." ”

Xiao Yang smiled and said: "If you go to be the head coach, you will definitely be able to win the best coach award." ”

Lineker thought for a moment and said seriously: "This is a very good thing. But I'm 53 years old and I can't beat your record for the youngest winner, so I don't want to be a manager. Maybe it's a good idea for my son to go and break your record. ”

The audience laughed when they heard Lineker's words.

After everyone's laughter stopped, Xiao Yang began to give an acceptance speech: "I am very happy that I can come here today to receive such an important honor. I am also very grateful to FIFA and to those who voted for me, for giving me such a high honor. ”

"I would like to thank my family for taking care of me and giving me enough energy to put in my work; I would like to thank all the staff at Gossau FC for their hard work and allowing me to devote myself to directing the game. I would like to thank the coaching staff for their hard work to keep my players in good shape and allow my team to anticipate the opposition, plan the right tactics and win. I would also like to thank all the players in the team for their outstanding performances that have won the team championship after title! ”

"I was the one who won the best coach, but I would say that I would never have won this award without so many people behind me."

"Finally, I would like to thank all the guests who were here to witness one of the most important honors of my career so far!"

After Xiao Yang's acceptance speech, all the guests stood up and gave warm applause to the young and promising head coach. Among them were the other two candidates for the best manager, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson and Swiss national team manager Heathfield, who applauded the hardest.

In fact, the results of these two managers in 2013 were also very good, Ferguson still won the Premier League title last season without getting anything in the Manchester United team's squad, and also broke through in the Champions League group stage this season, easily winning the group; Heathfield led the Swiss team to the group stage of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, beating Italy, Norway and other strong teams, winning the group two rounds ahead of schedule and advancing to the finals of the 2014 World Cup.

However, the results achieved by these two head coaches are still much inferior to Xiao Yang, so they are also convinced that Xiao Yang won the honor of the best coach without any dissatisfaction.

The guests of Swiss football were very excited, two of the finalists for the best coach were from Switzerland, and the final winner of this honor was Xiao Yang from the Swiss club Gossau, which is unprecedented, which also marks the prosperity of Swiss football, and with the current momentum, it is foreseeable that Swiss football will only get stronger and stronger, which is also what all the people in Swiss football are happy to see.

Blatter is also very happy that he has awarded the Swiss team several trophies in the past year, something he has never done since becoming FIFA president. As a Swiss, he certainly wants his hometown team to do well.

After Xiao Yang came to Zurich this time, he also personally extended an invitation to Blatter to attend the unveiling ceremony of the Wind Thunder Stadium on January 15, and Blatter also gladly accepted Xiao Yang's invitation. He knows that the prosperity of Swiss football today is brought by this Chinese person, so of course he has to give Xiao Yang this face.

After the presentation of several awards such as the Fair Play Award, the Best Goal Award and the Women's Player of the Year Award, the finale of the awards ceremony and the most eye-catching award - the 2013 Men's Player of the Year will be revealed.

The men's best player award, also known as the Ballon d'Or, has been won by Barcelona's Argentine star Lionel Messi for four consecutive years, which is also an unprecedented achievement.

This time, Messi also entered the final list of three people for the Golden Globe Awards, but he was not the best of the three, so this selection was still very suspenseful, and everyone was nervously watching the award presenter Figo.

When Figo came to the stage, he held an envelope in his hand, and everyone knew that the envelope contained the final list of winners. Figo tried to open the envelope, but when his right hand rested on the envelope, he stopped, laughing and saying, "I almost forgot, we have another program before the winners are announced, and that is to play the highlights." ”

Figo's words made everyone laugh, and their nervousness was relieved. Only Messi and Eggman did not laugh, their hands clenched into fists, showing the tension in their hearts. Of course, who can not be nervous at such an important moment?

After Figo made a gesture, the highlights of Messi, Eggman and Avanzini from the past year began to be played.

All three are technically outstanding players who have been top performers over the past year, and FIFA's meticulous collection of matches for them is certainly spectacular, and all the crowd applauds them when they see the highlights. When Egerman scored his 100th goal of the year in the final match of the last year, the final of the World Club Cup against Boca Juniors, everyone stood up and cheered for Egerman with a wave of applause.

After the highlights of the three's game were played, Figo picked up the envelope in his hand again, slowly opened the envelope, took out a piece of paper inside, and then laughed, he cleared his throat and said: "I announce that the winner of the 2013 FIFA Men's Player of the Year Award is ......"

At this point, Figo dragged out his voice and sold enough to say the name in the loudest voice: "Eggman!!!!! ”

The final three candidates for the Ballon d'Or were also shown on the big screen, with Eggman scoring 43.4 per cent, Messi scoring 32.1 per cent and Avinzini scoring 8.79 per cent.

Eggman jumped up from his seat at once, his face flushed with excitement and his fists flailing.

On such an occasion, Eggman's actions were a bit out of shape, but no one would blame him, after all, he was only a young man in his early 20s, and it was understandable to be a little excited when he won such an important award.

Everyone is applauding Egerman, even Messi, but if you take a closer look at Messi, you will find that his eyes are full of loss, and his clapping movements are also very mechanical, which also shows that Messi is very disappointed that he failed to win the Ballon d'Or for the fifth time in a row.

But now no one is paying attention to Messi, all eyes are on Egerman, who is the protagonist today.

After Egerman stepped onto the podium, Figo handed Egerman the trophy of the FIFA Ballon d'Or and said to him: "Congratulations, Sylvain, you are the best player of the past year." ”

Eggman shook Figo's hand and said, "Thank you, Luis." I'm glad you presented me with an award, you're my idol. ”

Figo looked surprised: "Really? I'm very honored that I can sign you later. However, my son's idol is you, and he wants me to ask you for an autograph. Then let's exchange signatures later, so that no one suffers. ”

Figo's words made the audience laugh, and Eggman laughed and said, "That's your loss, my autograph is not as valuable as yours." ”

Figo shook his head and said, "No, no, no, your signature will definitely be worth more than mine in the future." You're only 23 years old now, and you've already won the highest accolade for a player, and I didn't have anything when I was 23, and I was almost 30 the year I won the Ballon d'Or. I dare to pack a ticket, you will definitely win the Golden Globe Award in the future, I am optimistic about you! ”

Figo's encouragement was so grateful to Eggman that he was speechless for a moment. Figo smiled and made a gesture for Eggman to give his acceptance speech.

Eggman turned to face the audience, holding the trophy with mixed feelings. It was a long time before he spoke, "I'm sorry, I'm a little speechless. ”

The audience burst into good-natured laughter.

Eggman continued: "It's a great honor, and I can't believe it, to receive this award! ”

"I want to thank a lot of people for this award. I am grateful to my family who have been taking care of me and encouraging me; I am grateful to my coaches who helped me develop a training plan and help me improve my abilities; I'm thankful to my team-mates who gave me the pass and allowed me to score goals with ease, especially my striker partner, Cowdinghoe, who made a lot of sacrifices for me; I'm grateful to my fans for their loyal support and advice when I'm in the doldrums; I thank FIFA and all the people who voted for me. ”

"I also want to thank a lot of people, but the one I want to thank the most is my head coach, Mr. Xiao Yang!"

The camera of the live broadcast switched to Xiao Yang in time, and after listening to Eggman's words, Xiao Yang seemed very excited.

Eggman continued: "I have expressed my gratitude to Coach Xiao Yang on many occasions, but at this most glorious moment of my life, I would like to say thank you to Coach Xiao Yang! When I was 19 years old, I was just an ordinary player, and I thought my life was going to end like this, but the arrival of Coach Xiao Yang changed my life. ”

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity; Thank you for teaching me how to play; Thank you for giving me guidance when I was confused; Thank you for trusting me unconditionally always! It is you who have made me have such a glorious moment today, thank you! ”

At this point, Eggman stopped, and everyone was moved by Eggman's emotional acceptance speech, and once again sent warm applause to the pair of master and apprentice.

After Egerman's acceptance speech, this year's FIFA Awards Ceremony is also coming to an end. It was no surprise that Gossau FC was the biggest winner of the ceremony, as they won two of the most important prizes and as many as five players were selected in the best team, which caused a strong reaction in world football.

In the past few FIFA award ceremonies, Barcelona has been beautiful, Messi won the Ballon d'Or for four consecutive years, and regardless of whether Barcelona won the UEFA Champions League that year, Barcelona was the club with the most selections in each edition of the best team, and this year finally broke this tradition, which made many fans who have aesthetic fatigue with Barcelona rejoice.

Many media have made statements that if the past few years belong to the dynasty of Barcelona and Messi, then, starting this year, their dynasty is collapsing, and it may be replaced by a new Gossau dynasty, which may enter the situation of competing for hegemony, all in all, Barcelona can no longer be dominant.

And Messi's king status was originally very stable after he won the Golden Ball Award four times in a row, and his career was at its peak, and his performance showed no signs of declining, but Eggman came out of nowhere and took away the Golden Ball Award from Messi very strongly with a better performance, which also means that Messi's king status began to waver, and it is foreseeable that for a long time in the future, the Golden Ball Award will be contested between Eggman and Messi. And Eggman is younger and more capable of scoring goals, so he will have a better chance of dominating.

Egerman's eloquent acceptance speech at the award ceremony quickly spread around the world, and as a direct consequence of the explosion in the number of students enrolled in the football academy at Gossau.

At present, the football school of Gosho Club has a very complete set of echelons, from a few years old to a teenager. Now the club's training ground is also very spacious, in addition to the original training ground, the club has invested in the construction of several new training grounds, plus the club's original home stadium has also been transformed into a training ground, so there is no need to worry about the lack of training venues in the short term.

After Eggman won the Ballon d'Or and five Gossau players were named to the best team, Xiao Yang's ability to coach young players was widely recognized, so the registration point for Gossau's football school is now crowded every day, and parents of "geniuses" around the world want their sons to be mentored by Xiao Yang and become a star like Eggman in Gosau's academy.

The surge in the number of applicants for the football school has made the youth coaches of Gossau FC smile from ear to ear, because it means that they have a wider selection of materials and more opportunities to find good seedlings from young players, which is the best thing for a coach who loves youth training.

Feng Lei also visited the football school of Gosho Club a few times in his spare time, where he found many good seedlings with excellent skills, which made him very happy, and these young players represent the future of Gosho Club.

I believe that in a few years, Gosau's academy will become no less than La Masia's academy, Xiao Yang thought.

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to January 15, 2014, which is the day of the unveiling ceremony of the new home of the Gossau club "Wind Thunder Stadium", and it is also the start date of the invitational tournament "Wind Thunder Cup" held by the Gossau club.
