"The winner of the 2012-2013 European Player of the Season was ......," Platini said, turning the trophy in his hand. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Zhou Yi!"

Everyone saw the newly engraved name on the back of the trophy: ZHOU_YI.

"Zhou Yi!" the CCTV commentator shouted excitedly. "Zhou Yi! He made history as a Chinese player and even an Asian player! He won the best player in Europe! In this award comparable to the Ballon d'Or, there is a Chinese player who has become the number one! Deserved! If he is not the best, then who is qualified to be the best?!"

The CCTV commentator's tone was a little loud, but in such a situation, he was right. With Zhou Yi's performance in the past season, he is not the best, and others are probably even less qualified.

"The European Sports Media League made the right choice, they voted for Zhou Yi, who conquered everyone with his near-perfect performance last season!

On the Internet, there is also laughter.

Chinese fans expressed their joy and excitement.

"Zhou Yi is awesome! No. 1 in Asia!"

"Don't say that it's the best in Asian history, even if Cha Fan Geun, Nakata Young-shou, and Park Ji-sung come together, Zhou Yi is also the best Asian player in history!"

"Amazing!

"Damn, I'm so excited, I cried when my name was announced!"

"Handsome handsome!!Zhou Yishuai is dead!"

......

In the media center, Chinese media reporters who were unable to enter the scene to cover the ceremony watched the live broadcast on a large screen. At the moment when the results were announced, their cheers and applause rang out in the media center, just like China's successful bid for the Olympic Games.

There were not only them in the media center, but also journalists from other countries, and at this time, no one thought that Chinese reporters were too noisy, and they also applauded and gave a smiling thumbs up to their Chinese counterparts, which was for Chinese reporters and for Zhou Yi.

They can understand that sentiment, in the world of football, a player can often represent a country, a player wins the highest honors, and that country is naturally honored. In football, patriotism is a universal value.

When George Weah was named World Footballer of the Year, the whole of Liberia celebrated as if they had been liberated. Football has a very, very great influence on a nation and a country in peacetime.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a world-class star, but he will also do his best on the pitch for Portugal to reach the World Cup. Messi is a world-class star, but he will also fight until he vomits for the honor of the Argentine national team.

Similarly, Portuguese fans will see Cristiano Ronaldo as their national hero, while Argentine fans ...... Well, if Messi can help the Argentine national team win the World Cup, Argentine fans will also see Messi as a national hero.

Well, Messi and Argentine fans are a special case, but for the vast majority of countries, a good player is the hero of that country, and this is no exaggeration.

This is the power of football, and it has nothing to do with politics, but it can play a political role.

At the scene, when Zhou Yi heard his name, he was stunned for a moment, and the BBC host Pedro Pinto next to him touched him: "Congratulations, Zhou Yi!"

Zhou Yi quickly returned to normal and realized that he had really won the award. He then walked over to Platini, who had already picked up the trophy and handed it to him.

"You deserve it, Zhou Yi. This is the best reward for your outstanding performance in the past season. The UEFA president smiled and put the trophy in Zhou Yi's hand.

Everyone at the scene stood up and applauded and sent their congratulations to Zhou Yi. Even Zhou Yi's rivals, Messi and Ribery, applauded from the side. In fact, losing to Zhou Yi, they have nothing to disagree with, two heavyweight championships in hand, the absolute core of Dortmund, with such achievements at a young age, Zhou Yi's honor is full of gold.

Last year's Andres Iniesta was able to win the award, so it is not inconceivable that this year's Zhou Yi won the award. The European professional sports media rewarded and recognised the midfielders who were in the industry. Football isn't just strikers who are in the limelight.

Zhou Yi took it, heavy, this is the weight of the world's top honor......

Zhou Yi tucked the trophy under his arm and shook hands with Platini with one free hand, he was not used to making a face-to-face salute with a big man......

Then he shook hands with Holtzshu, the editor-in-chief of "Kicker".

He then placed the trophy on the stage and began to deliver his acceptance speech.

The people who gave a standing ovation sat down one after another, like a rising tide, and Zhou Yi saw his father, still standing in front of his seat, slapping hard, and constantly giving himself a thumbs up.

So Zhou Yi also gave him a thumbs up and said: "Thank you to my parents, they came all the way from distant China, this is the first time they have gone abroad to leave their hometown, in order to witness their son's glorious moment, they came thousands of miles away." So first of all, I would like to thank them for their support, my father was my football inspirer, and my mother taught me to be the best I can be in whatever I do. Thank you!"

The applause rang out again, this time for Zhou Yi's parents. The TV broadcast also gave them close-ups.

Zhou Jianliang in the camera is still standing, giving his son a thumbs up with both hands, pursing his mouth tightly, and he is very emotional. And next to him, Li Cuiyun was sitting on a chair, wiping her tears with her hands.

Her son was able to have such a glorious moment, and the first person to mention them was very touched. There is also guilt, because in fact, on the road of her son's pursuit of football dreams, she is not as good as her son said, she did not help him, but became an obstacle to him...... If she had to let her son give up playing, would there be one less European player in the world?

After thanking his parents, Zhou Yi thanked Dortmund FC, manager Jurgen Klopp, and his teammates in turn: "...... I'm a midfielder and my job on the pitch is more to pass for others, so if my team-mates don't turn my passes into goals, then my passes don't make sense. So I want to thank them, it's their goals that have made me where I am today, and I feel like I'm representing the whole team to receive this award, which doesn't belong to me alone, it's to our team......"

"I would also like to thank the supporters who supported me, both Dortmund and China, for giving me the courage to go further and further on this path. He paused, cut into Chinese and said: "I know that at this time, there must be many Chinese fans and friends who stay up late in front of the TV and wait...... So, hi guys, this is greetings and thanks from Monaco. Thank you for your support, you will always be my strong backing!"

As he spoke, Zhou Yi also raised his arm and waved towards the camera.

"Ahhhh

"Surprise, I didn't expect Zhou Yi to play this trick!"

"Zhou Yi said it in Chinese! He said it specifically to us!"

"The scene was confused, and it felt good that we could understand it...... Hahaha!"

"Thank you Zhou Yi, we will always be your strong backing!"

"The power of 1.4 billion people is given to you, you are the best, Zhou Yi!"

......

On the Chinese Internet, Zhou Yi's sudden Chinese thank you also detonated the emotions of fans.

In the media center, the Chinese reporters who saw this scene also laughed: "Zhou Yi, this kid, is really good at being a man!"

"This can be regarded as an unexpected gift for Chinese fans, right?"

There are foreign colleagues who can't understand Chinese next to them, what Zhou Yi is saying.

They explained with a smile: "Zhou Yi is thanking the Chinese fans in his native language, saying that they are his strong backing." ”

"It's amazing. The foreign reporter who understood it gave Zhou Yi a thumbs up again. "No wonder Zhou Yi has such a good popularity, and he rarely hears negative news about him......"

Chinese reporters also think that Zhou Yi is amazing, and they feel like they have praised themselves, and their hearts are sweet.

"Of course! In our country, Zhou Yi is a national hero! Although we now have a number of players who play in Europe, and they are all doing very well, when it comes to word of mouth, Zhou Yi is the best!" said the Chinese reporter.

Because Zhou Yi had been speaking in English before, CCTV's simultaneous interpreter had also been translating, but suddenly Zhou Yi switched to Chinese, and the CCTV translator hadn't reacted yet, and wanted to continue translating, but found that it didn't seem to be supposed to translate......

The CCTV commentators couldn't help laughing.

After saying this, Zhou Yi returned to English, and the simultaneous interpreter finally had work to do......

“...... There are so many people to thank and everyone who has helped me on my way, and if I thank them one by one, I guess everyone will not be able to leave here until tomorrow morning......"

The scene erupted in laughter.

"Of course, it's not all of you who want the most, it's my coach Jurgen Klopp, because I'm going to play the Super Cup in Prague tomorrow night......"

There was another burst of laughter. Zhou Yi is complaining about UEFA's Super Cup and lottery awarding in his own way, and he can express his opinions without angering people, which is the special power of humor.

"So I'm sorry I can't thank them all here, but you know I'm grateful to you! He looked sideways at Ribery and Messi. 'They are two very good players who have been famous for a long time and it is a privilege to stand with them. Thank you. ”

Zhou Yi's thanks were somewhat unexpected by the two, and such things don't happen often at the best player in Europe or the FIFA Ballon d'Or ceremony. Generally speaking, the award-winning player will not have verbal thanks unless he has teammates on the same team on the stage, unless at most it is a handshake, and it is enough to show grace, and it is a bit surprising to directly thank the competitor.

Especially between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, if Messi wins the award, he certainly can't mention Cristiano Ronaldo, and vice versa.

So Zhou Yi's approach was a little surprising, and the stunned expression clearly appeared on Messi's face, while Ribery couldn't see it because of his own facial injury.

However, both of them quickly applauded and gave Zhou Yi a thumbs up again, praising him.

To be able to thank a competitor at this time, no matter what, is a sign of grace.
