Chapter 550: The Goal of Struggle
With the applause that erupted from the Grimaldi Convention Center, Platini reluctantly took the large trophy symbolizing the best player from the host's hand and handed it to Elo.
However, Iello seemed to deliberately ignore Platini, and instead of receiving the trophy, he turned around and hugged his former teammate Canizares, then Kaka next to him, and finally Maldini.
It wasn't until the hug was over that Iroh walked towards Platini.
At this time, if it weren't for Platini's superficial cultivation to reach the realm of returning to the basics, he would have wanted to scold his mother a long time ago, because he had obviously handed over the trophy just now, and Iroh had already seen it, but he didn't expect to turn around and hug the other three best players.
Isn't this just arguing with yourself alive?
Challenge your patience again and again!
Actually, Platini thought too much.
Elo was so excited that no one shared the Champions League with him, but he soon realised that his veteran captain Canizares was right next to him, so he gave up his intention to accept the award and enjoy the excitement of the moment with his former team-mates.
Now that Canizares has embraced, Kaka, who played with him before the Champions League final award ceremony last season, can't he miss it? So both Canizares and Kaka hug, and it's not appropriate to ignore Maldini, right? Should I always say no?
So......
Ilo took the trophy, just as he had received the trophy handed to him by Bergkamp, and looked at the handwriting at the bottom of the trophy: 2006-2007 UEFA Champions League Player of the Year - Ai!
Then he walked to the podium, the applause slowly stopped, and he began his acceptance speech, but then he suddenly had a blank feeling in his mind: "Ahem, please allow me to pause, I'm so nervous!" ”
Hahahaha-
The guests laughed and then applauded.
"I'm really excited to win my second trophy here today because it's the first Champions League striker of the year, the best player of the year, and it's a recognition of what I've put in, so I'm going to keep working hard... Here I would like to thank my former teammates again, it is their selfless help that has made me who I am today, and ...... I am grateful to my family and my friends for supporting me and helping me behind the scenes...... At the same time, I would like to thank my broker for ......"
Iroh stood on the podium and kept talking, as long as the tiger teeth that popped up in his mind, he said them.
Platini, who was standing in the back, was very upset! You were the first to thank Bergkamp when you presented you with the award, and now you have thanked so many people without thanking yourself, isn't this a clear target? Can you still have fun?
“…… A second before I left the podium, I was ready to say one last word! ”
The last word?
The guests at the scene turned their attention to Iroh again, not squinting.
“…… The feeling of receiving the award was very enjoyable! So...... I'll be holding these two trophies again this time next year!! As he spoke, Iroh held the trophy for the best striker in his left hand and the trophy for the best player in his right hand, and said loudly.
There was a brief silence, followed by thunderous applause.
Iroh's ambition has reached the audience, and there is often no shortage of ambitious players in the world, but there are so few young players like Iroh who dare to say it and can do it, so it must be commended with applause.
The applause stopped, and Iroh turned around and was about to walk to where he was standing, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, and just took the first step and turned back, sneering at the guests, and then hunched over to look at Platini: "Uh...... By the way, I forgot to thank Mr. Platini for presenting me with the award, hehe...... So, it's not too late for me to refill here, right? ”
The laughter rang out again.
Platini smiled, but began to curse in his heart - mother! If you forget jì, you forget jì, why do you want to make it back? Don't you know that this is like charity?
※※※
The next day, the headlines in Europe's major newspapers were largely unanimous: I'll be holding these two trophies this time next year!
The background picture is the moment when Iroh holds two trophies high, and I don't know which photographer is working to integrate Iroh's essence into it.
Of course, there are also newspapers that ridicule the new UEFA president Platini, because many of Ilo's remarks when accepting the award are suspected of satirizing him, and what he says is reasonable and interlocking, just like watching a movie full of ups and downs.
The next morning in China, the news broadcast on CCAV-1 reported that Iroh won the best striker and player awards in last season's Champions League, and gave a full 15 seconds to appear at 7 o'clock in prime time that night.
August was a fruitful month for Ielloh, who helped Chelsea win the Community Shield trophy at the start of the month, followed by four consecutive Premier League wins and a top spot in the Premier League, as well as last season's Champions League striker and player of the year at Monaco at the end of August.
On the morning of his return to London, on 1 September, the Premier League Professional Footballers' Association (henceforth known as PFA) officially awarded the Premier League Player of the Month award for August based on fan votes, and in the past month, he has helped Chelsea win all four of their Premier League games and one Community Shield match, which has helped Chelsea to top of the Premier League.
At the same time, the best coach was awarded to Chelsea, and the winner was Jose Mourinho.
※※※
The efficiency of the PFA is very high, the official website in the morning selection results, in the afternoon, Iello and Mourinho at the Cobham training base received the PFA staff to symbolize the best player in August, the best training trophy, so the two also took a group photo.
Since there was a league match at Villa Park Stadium in the afternoon of the second day, there was not much training on the day, and the main focus was on recovery.
In fact, in September, Mourinho has two games in mind, one is the first round of the 2007-2008 Champions League group stage at home against Rosenborg on the 19th, followed by the 23rd to challenge the Red Devils Manchester United at Old Trafford, the 'Theatre of Dreams', and the opponents in other games are easier to deal with.
However, ahead of the fifth round of league fixtures at Villa Park, Chelsea's official website announced the following: "With immediate effect, German star Michael Ballack will be part of the Chelsea squad and wear the number 13 shirt for the new season......
Not long after the news was announced, the English media was in an uproar, and half a day before the summer transfer window closed, Chelsea actually signed Ballack, one of the heroes of last season's Valencia treble, which ......
Chelsea's forward line is already at the top of the Premier League with the arrival of Arrow, and now that Ballack has also arrived at Chelsea, doesn't that make their midfield also the top of the Premier League? Coupled with the world's top three goalkeeper Petr Cech, this means that all positions in the backline are top-tier except for right wing-back......
It seems that Abramovich's ambitions are not small......
※※※
With the addition of German superstar Michael Ballack, Chelsea comfortably beat home Aston Villa at Villa Park, with Arlo providing an assist.
Iello originally thought that he would be able to meet Ballack after this round of league games, but what he didn't expect was that after returning to the club, Mourinho began to announce that a new round of international break would begin, and the next round of the league would not be until the 15th, when the home game against Blackburn would be at home, and the fastest time to see Ballack would be on the 13th.
The international team match day has never had much to do with Elo, but this time it was a bit of a surprise, on the day of the Chelsea holiday, an old acquaintance of the Football Newspaper Qi Liuhai came to the Cobham training base to interview Eiro.
After a brief discussion, Iroh has learned about the general situation of domestic football.
Xie Yalong, chairman of the Football Association, was sentenced to fifteen years in prison because of **, and the vice chairman of the Football Association also suffered, which is very interesting, or not arrested, and a lot of arrests, what happened in the incident is completely different from what Iroh remembers.
"Tang Shun, chairman of the Football Association, who recently temporarily took over the work of the national team, and Lin Yao, vice chairman of the Football Association in charge of youth training, were interviewed by the media and expressed their willingness to call you 85 national youth generation players into the national team, what do you think?"
In fact, there is a reason why Iroh has been able to patiently listen to domestic football events for so long, who doesn't want to play for the country? That's the highest glory! It's very emotional to think of the feeling of wearing the national team shirt at the World Youth Championships in the Netherlands two years ago.
However, the whole person was quite calm, and shrugged his shoulders: "The decision to quit the National Olympic team was just because I was unhappy with Xie Yalong to persuade the old man to retire, and now he is arrested because of **, and there is nothing to care about, as long as the national team is willing to call me, I will naturally have no hesitation......"
After Qi Liuhai interviewed the most valuable news, he also specifically asked Ailuo what he could and couldn't report.
What a detail-oriented journalist, Iroh gave Qi Liuhai another definition.
The two international breaks passed in the blink of an eye, and the squad returned to the club in batches to report and prepare for the weekend's league fixture.
What makes Mourinho a little helpless is that center forward Drogba was injured during the national team game, but fortunately, another top striker Shepchenko has returned from injury, otherwise Mourinho estimates that Ailo will have to play as a center forward.
The day before the league game at home to Blackburn, Iello finally spotted Ballack at the Cobham training base and he followed Jose Mourinho to the training ground.
For a player of Ballack's level, although he is new to Chelsea, no player dares to underestimate him.
"Haha...... Ai, we're teammates again! After Mourinho introduced everyone, Ballack walked over and put his arm around Iro's shoulder and smiled.
"Yes, we can fight together again and challenge for the European Champions Cup!!"
"Huh? Are you telling the truth? Barak's eyes widened.
"Or do you think?"
“……”
In fact, the biggest reason for Ballack's transfer to Chelsea is simply because Valencia cannot afford his annual salary of up to 7 million euros, and it just so happens that Chelsea are willing to do so......
However, Iroh's ambition allowed him to find his purpose again.
