When Zhou Yi and his parents met in Monaco, the media and fans in China were closely watching the ceremony. www.biquge.info After the merger of the Ballon d'Or from France Football and FIFA's World Footballer of the Year, UEFA's European Player of the Year award has become an important award alongside the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

A Chinese player has a chance to win this award, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhou Yi is the "light of China".

The award ceremony and draw were also the largest number of Chinese media outlets reporting on Monaco.

Monaco has hosted many sporting events, not to mention the annual Champions League draws and awards, the most famous of which is the Formula 1 Grand Prix Monaco.

But no matter what kind of sports event, there is not as many Chinese media as there are this time.

Even if the annual Champions League draw is very concerned by the Chinese media, it will not shoot so many people to report on the scene. Some of them work with European sports outlets, through which they can get relevant reports and content. Some of them are directly from the Internet.

This time, the Chinese media uncharacteristically gathered in Monaco, all for Zhou Yi.

CCTV even filmed a set up team to shoot Zhou Yi.

This matter was also after Zhou Yi was selected into the final list of three, and CCTV quickly communicated and coordinated with Zhou Yi.

Because of the good relationship before, the communication went smoothly.

In addition to the fact that CCTV cannot enter the venue to shoot, they can follow the whole process of filming, and use the "third eye" to faithfully record the whole process of Zhou Yi's participation in this award ceremony.

Zhou Yi asked the other party teasingly: "Aren't you afraid that after such a big battle, I won't win the award?"

The other party said very seriously: "We have prepared two sets of plans. ”

"Can you use both plans?"

"Well, anyway, it's meant to be on record. ”

So after getting up on the 29th, Zhou Yi received a call from the contact person of the CCTV filming team and began to arrange filming. Start with the first makeup.

Although it is a documentary shooting, it is still necessary to put on some makeup, because before starting to record the shooting, there was an interview with Zhou Yi.

After the interview, Zhou Yi went to breakfast with his parents. Because they had already communicated with their parents about filming yesterday, neither of them was surprised, Zhou Jianliang was very active when facing the camera, and Li Cuiyun was a little silent.

For most of the next half day, Zhou Yi dined in the hotel, and then went to the hotel gym to take time for physical training...... All of this was faithfully recorded by the camera lens.

During the training, the reporter realized that this was a good material, so he asked: "You have come to receive the award, and you haven't forgotten to train?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "Physical training, you can do it anytime and anywhere." ”

During this period, Zhou Yi also accepted an exclusive interview on the official website of UEFA. During the interview, the tone of the questions asked by the reporter was based on the premise that Zhou Yi won the award, and the CCTV reporter was very happy, and quietly asked the UEFA official who accompanied the reporter to the interview: "Does this mean that Zhou Yi will be sure to win the award?"

UEFA officials shook their heads: "The final selection of the best player in Europe is different from that of FIFA, we vote on the spot, and no one knows what the outcome will be until the last minute." When he mentioned FIFA, there was disdain in his tone. It seems that Blatter is really not very popular......

"We prepared similar interviews for all three candidates, and whoever won the award was interviewed. The UEFA official explained.

CCTV reporter looked at Zhou Yi's words and deeds when he was interviewed, he was very calm and calm, obviously he was the person concerned, but he was more calm than himself, an outsider...... This kid has a big heart.

After the interview, Zhou Yi had lunch with his parents, and Dortmund FC CEO Watzke and sports director Zorke also came to accompany him. The CCTV crew was filming nearby, and they were all chatting and gossiping as if no one was around.

Zolke also praised Zhou Yi for his physical training in the morning: "I called Jurgen and told him about it, and he was very happy. But he also asked me to remind you, pay attention to rest, after all, you have to fly a thousand kilometers more at night......"

After lunch, it was a lunch break, and after the lunch break, Zhou Yi went for a swim in the hotel pool, and met three of his fans by the pool, not from Germany or China, but from Monaco - one of them was a waiter in the hotel, and the other two were his friends, apparently premeditated.

So Zhou Yi signed above the No. 23 ball of Dortmund that they handed over, and took a photo with the three of them naked in swimming trunks.

When Zhou Yi went to swim, the CCTV film crew interviewed the three Monegasque young people by the way, asking them why they became Zhou Yi's fans as Monegasques.

They told CCTV reporters that they were originally fans of Dortmund, and then they were impressed by Zhou Yi's performance in Dortmund, so they naturally became Zhou Yi's fans. And when he learned that the film crew was from China, one of the cheerful Monaco fans also showed his self-taught Chinese proficiency to the camera.

However, judging from the confused expressions on the faces of the film crew, the Monaco fan's Chinese proficiency is really not very good......

After that, the young man asked the film crew how his Chinese skills were, and the film crew members gave a thumbs up and said, "Very_good!"

The Monegasque boy laughed and was very happy.

The Champions League group stage draw and award ceremony for Europe's best player will be held at 5.45pm at the Grimaldi Convention Centre.

Zhou Yi came out of the pool, went back to the room to take a shower, changed into formal clothes, and someone came to pick him up.

He and his parents will call the special car provided by the organizing committee, arrive at the venue, and walk the red carpet there.

After that, the CCTV film crew will no longer be able to follow in to shoot, and they will stay in the media center and watch the live broadcast through the big screen TV, which is a way to know whether Zhou Yi has won the award.

As for the Champions League group draw?

They don't really care......

Tonight, for the Chinese media and fans, the biggest suspense, the only suspense, is whether Zhou Yi can win the live vote and become the best European player last season!

Because Monaco implements daylight saving time in August, there is now a six-hour time difference between Monaco and Beijing, and the red carpet is 5 p.m., which is 11 p.m. Beijing time. The lottery ceremony started at 5:45, that is, at 11:45 pm Beijing time, and the award ceremony was after the lottery ceremony, so by the time Zhou Yi came on the field, it was already early morning Beijing time.

However, there will still be many Chinese fans waiting in front of the TV and on the Internet, waiting to witness history.

When Zhou Yi, dressed in a formal suit, appeared on the red carpet, the Chinese reporters were especially excited by the masterpiece of the flash lights on the scene - not to mention the selection of the best player in Europe, this scene alone has already made history!

This is the first Chinese player in history to appear in this place!

Although Sun Pan helped Atletico Madrid win the Europa League in 2012, the Champions League was obviously more important in the selection of the best player that year, and as a goalkeeper, it was difficult to appear in the final results of major selections. Therefore, Sun Pan did not appear at the 2012 Champions League draw and award ceremony, and he was recovering from an injury in Madrid.

In addition to the shutter sound of reporters, there were also cheers from fans.

Zhou Yi waved to the fans and the camera with a smile on his face.

Not inhibited, but also not excited, just like he did on the court.

He strolled down the red carpet and entered the gates of the Grimaldi Convention Center, as everyone else did.

The voices of the CCTV reporters who broadcast live were a little excited: "Twenty-one seconds! The time for Zhou Yi to walk across the red carpet and enter the Grimaldi Convention Center is twenty-one seconds! This is the twenty-one seconds that made history! Zhou Yi has fully demonstrated his demeanor and calmness in these twenty-one seconds! I want to remind everyone that this is a young man who is only 22 years old! Kaka was 25 years old when he won his first Ballon d'Or, Cristiano Ronaldo was 23 years old when he won his first Ballon d'Or, and Messi was 22 years old when he won his first Ballon d'Or! For Zhou Yi, he still has a long way to go, and there are countless possibilities on the road of his career...... Zhou Yi, the future is immeasurable!"
