It is the first major manager award in the history of football, and it is jointly organized by FIFA and French football magazine, which adds to the weight and recognition of this annual men's coach of the year award.
The head coach industry has always been unpopular, winning the ball is deserved, it is the credit of the players, but if you lose, the first one will find trouble with the head coach, so in the field of football, the head coach can even be said to be the most thankless position, but also the most difficult and stressful position, and at the same time the most unnoticed.
There are countless fans who can only shout the names of the stars, for example, people have heard of Pele, they have heard of Maradona, they have heard of Ronaldo, but how many people can say, who is the head coach of Pele, Maradona and Ronaldo in each team?
I'm afraid it's not much!
Yang Cheng can be said to be an outlier in the field of head coaching, he is more concerned than top superstars, he has more influence and commercial appeal than any other star, which makes him a golden sign in football, and even in sports, which is noticed and admired.
Some people say that starting from Yang Cheng, the position of head coach has begun to be valued, the role of the head coach has gradually been affirmed, and the power of the head coach is constantly improving, all because of the effect of Yang Cheng's success.
In today's football, when it comes to head coaches, everyone's first impression is Yang Cheng, that is, Caesar, and even in many remote areas, they may not have heard of Xiao Xiaoluo, Kaka and Messi, but they must have heard of Yang Cheng.
This has become a phenomenon in today's football world, which has attracted the attention and research of countless people, and even many professionals from famous universities are studying, what kind of secret is contained in Yang Cheng's success, but in the end, they finally found that there are a lot of opportunities for Yang Cheng's success.
This is a one-of-a-kind phenomenon!
But it's a pity that as the head coach, Yang Cheng has never been treated well by FIFA. Blatter publicly supported Bosque before the award ceremony, and from various phenomena, it is shown that Yang Cheng is unlikely to win the award. It's slim.
Especially when Ned walked on the stage, she walked to the front of the podium with the cooperation of the host, holding a yellow envelope in her hand, which contained the list of winners of the Men's Coach of the Year award, and the trophy was placed on the table.
As a German, Ned is middle-aged. But she doesn't like to talk as much as ordinary women, she looks capable with short blond hair, and after a few hasty words on stage, she tore open the envelope.
At this moment, the eyes of everyone in the audience were either focused on the envelope in her hand, and the list card that was slowly pulled out, or at Yang Cheng and Bosque, and the live broadcast camera showed the movements of the three people at the same time in a montage on the screen. Make it possible for everyone to see what they're doing at the same time.
Yang Cheng always smiled and looked ahead; Bosque looked a bit grim, with the two favourites looking different expressions. Ned, on the other hand, took a look at the list card and looked surprised.
"Yang Cheng!"
With Ned's shout, the audience was stunned for a few seconds, and then burst into an extremely enthusiastic cheer, and many spectators and guests were chanting Yang Cheng's name.
Yang Cheng himself was stunned for a moment, his brain was a little short-circuited, he couldn't tell what was going on, why did he suddenly become himself? Shouldn't it be Bosque?
Just when he was stunned, Florentino, the Maitreya Buddha beside him, turned around and gave him a bear hug. Celebrating his award, this alerted Yang Cheng, who immediately stood up and turned to hug Casillas, Xiao Xiaoluo and Kaka beside him, and walked all the way, he met the players and staff of Inter Milan and Liverpool successively. …,
The whole hug and politeness process wasted nearly a minute. But in this minute, the applause never stopped, and obviously everyone gave great recognition and affirmation to Yang Cheng for winning this award.
"Congratulations!" Bosque saw Yang Cheng walking down the stairs of the stands, stood up in advance, and hugged Yang Cheng tightly, "I am convinced that you won the award, but as you said, I will kick you down!" ”
"If you have the ability, come on!" Yang Cheng was in a good mood and replied with a smile.
All the way down, I met Ferguson, Mourinho, Wenger, Heathfield and other famous coaches, which was naturally polite.
Dressed in a black suit and tie, and wearing leather shoes, Yang Cheng slowly walked onto the podium and walked towards Ned.
The two German national team managers hugged each other and then shook hands with the male host.
"Uh, Mr. Yang Cheng, please wait!" Just when Yang Cheng wanted to walk towards the hostess, the other party stretched out his hand to block it.
Yang Cheng stopped laughing, and the audience also laughed, wanting to see what the hostess was going to do.
"Are you going to shake my hand too?" The hostess, who looked pretty good and was very proactive, asked.
Yang Cheng turned his head and smiled at the audience, nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
"No way!" The Swiss hostess, who has hosted the Champions League draw many times, looked excited and said, "I'm a fan of yours, and I've always had a wish to hug you one day, or, kiss you!" ”
In European TV shows, open jokes and teasing are normal, especially for some humorous hosts, more like an effective means to liven up the atmosphere, and the Swiss hostess seems to be trying to liven up the atmosphere.
Yang Cheng pretended to be more embarrassed, "Uh...... Excuse me, what do you call it? ”
"Melanie? Vinig! The other party replied with a smile.
"Okay, Melanie, I can agree to your request, but we have to say it first, we can only kiss the face, not the mouth!" Yang Cheng also pointed to his right cheek and said with a smile.
"Kiss both sides!" Melanie generously agreed.
In the laughter of everyone, Yang Cheng smiled and opened his arms to greet him, Melanie posted it, kissed Yang Cheng's left and right cheeks, and deliberately poked, which made everyone present laugh, and the atmosphere in the venue was very active.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have come up to win the prize!" Yang Cheng looked very lossy, and he was sexually harassed.
This suddenly made everyone present burst into laughter. Even Melanie couldn't stop laughing.
Standing in front of the podium, Yang Cheng reached out and patted his chest gently, as if to calm down, "First of all, I want to talk about Ned. He turned his head and looked at Ned standing behind him, "You shouldn't have said so fast just now, give me some buffer time, make my heart beat faster now, but anyway, thank you." Ned! ”
Ned and Yang Cheng are both head coaches of the German national team, although one men's football team and one women's football team, they have been in contact and know each other.
"First of all, as is customary, thank you to some FIFA, at least they finally gave me an award, which I couldn't have imagined, but whatever. I still want to thank them! ”
"I think the most important thing I need to thank for this award is everyone at Real Madrid and the German Football Association, including the management. I would like to thank the players and staff in particular to the fans who have always supported and affirmed me, and I want to say that without you, there would be no award! ”
Everyone at the scene burst into extremely warm applause, but Yang Cheng always stood on the podium. ..., "I'm glad to see a phenomenon! Everyone immediately knew that he had something to say, and the applause immediately stopped, and they listened quietly to see what he wanted to say.
"FIFA is finally starting to take notice of the importance of the head coach and this year has added more than just the men's and women's coach of the year awards. The men's coach award is also scheduled for the penultimate award, which I believe is an affirmation of the men's coach award and an affirmation of all head coaches. ”
Everyone, especially the head coaches, couldn't help but nod their heads after hearing this.
"I remember when I first started my game, being a manager was a job that was not taken seriously. Everyone felt that as long as there was enough money and enough good players, they could achieve great results, so the head coach at that time had no power and status to speak, but now the situation has changed dramatically! ”
"What I want to say is that the role of the manager, even now, is still seriously underestimated, I don't mean to say that the role of the manager is bigger than the players, bigger than the management, no, what I want to say is that the manager, the players and the management, all three are very important and indispensable!"
"I hope that all the managers around the world can work together and do their best to make our profession play a more important role in football and be more recognized and recognized."
"This is what I want to see the most!"
After finishing speaking, Yang Cheng grabbed the trophy with one hand, and in the applause in the sky, he slowly retreated, bowed deeply towards the front stands, and thanked everyone for their support and affirmation.
Everyone at the scene saw Yang Cheng slowly walking off the stage, and the whole process was filled with a gentle and elegant temperament, neither humble nor arrogant humility and self-confidence, making his every move almost impeccable.
So much so that when following the presentation of Miss World Football, Brazilian player Mata won Miss World Football for the fifth time, and the Brazilian women's football player's acceptance speech was not only thankful, but also made a wish.
"I think Caesar was fantastic, incredible, and I hope to be his player one day and play under him, but unfortunately Real Madrid doesn't have a women's team and he's a men's coach!"
Naturally, everyone gave a round of warm applause to this gesture.
After the award of Miss World Football, there is only one finale left, that is, who will be the winner of the FIFA Golden Ball Award, which is the most concerned by fans all over the world?
Jose Moulinier, CEO of French Football Magazine, walked out of the stage as a guest of honor, also holding a yellow envelope and a Ballon d'Or trophy in his hand, and then saw him gently place the trophy on the podium and began to say some of the usual opening remarks of the award ceremony.
Everyone doesn't care about these so-called polite words, they just care about whose name is written in the yellow envelope, is it Xiao Xiaoluo? Messi? Casillas? Iniesta? Or David? Silva?
Who among the shortlisted candidates will have the last laugh?
Moulinier mentioned the matter of voting reform, and he expressed the hope that FIFA will seriously study the voting rules, because there have been many problems this year, such as Mascherano saying that he was the captain of Argentina, but did not vote at all, and some football associations in the world that cannot even name have two votes. The serving size is the same as in Germany and Spain.
In addition, there are many methods of black-box operation, such as a large number of small national football associations are filled in by FIFA itself, and these small countries are indifferent and no one pays attention. Pressured by FIFA's support funds, he naturally didn't dare to say anything. …,
But with these votes, FIFA can manipulate who will win the Ballon d'Or.
Yang Cheng's ballot was filled in by himself, and his first place went to Casillas, because he felt that the Spanish captain was indeed the most qualified player to win this award in the past year, and this matter was revealed by the media not long ago. Yang Cheng also expressed his support and affirmation for Ai Jiang on different occasions.
At the same time, Beckenbauer also said that UEFA is not used to FIFA's moves, and does not rule out reorganizing a selection event in Europe.
But everyone feels. This is more like Yang Cheng's comfort to Casillas, because no goalkeeper has been able to win the World Footballer of the Year so far, so the chances of the Spanish captain winning the Ballon d'Or from the FIFA are also slim.
The faces of these candidates are shown on the big screen. While everyone was watching them, they were also paying attention to Molinier, who had pulled the list card from the envelope, and the latter looked at the names on the list card, and a smile appeared on his otherwise grim face.
"Casillas!!"
Casillas' eyes widened with an expression of disbelief as he heard Molinier's call, but the audience erupted in a round of applause to give full recognition to the award-winning Real Madrid and Spanish captains.
After being stunned, Casillas' first reaction was surprise and he stood up from his seat. Gritting his teeth, he looked very excited, turned around and hugged Yang Cheng, and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you." Chief!!! ”
In the past period, Yang Cheng has been giving Casillas affirmation and support through Weibo and interviews, and he has always said that the captain of Real Madrid is the most qualified player to win this award, and no one is strong enough to win this award except Casillas.
But no one thinks that the Real Madrid captain can win the award, because in the history of football, no goalkeeper has ever won the World Footballer of the Year from the FIFA League, and now the Ballon d'Or, which is equivalent to the World Footballer, is presented to Casillas, which is undoubtedly a historic event!
"Congratulations, Igor!" Little Ronaldo also stood up and gave Casillas an affirmation and hug.
"Thank you, Cristiano!" With tears in his eyes and a little trembling in his voice, Casillas turned to hug his teammates and Florentino and others, and then stepped out of his seat and walked down the aisle to receive praise and congratulations from the guests, and he walked up to the podium to receive the Ballon d'Or trophy from Moulinier.
When he won the Ballon d'Or, it was clear that everyone saw tears in his eyes.
"I never expected to win, really!" Casillas walked back to the podium and spoke into the microphone with a slight sob, but it looked like he was gradually calming down his excitement.
"Today is a very special day for me, I want to share this trophy with all my teammates in Real Madrid and the Spanish national team, I have to thank them, they are in front of me, they have given me protection and support, I am qualified to stand here and speak, I want to say to them, without you, there would be no Casillas today!"
In the end, the Real Madrid captain couldn't help it anymore, and the audience burst into an incomparably warm applause.
"I would also like to thank one person in particular, our Real Madrid head coach, Mr. Yang Cheng, who kept telling me to believe in myself, and it was you who gave me trust, support and encouragement, which made me understand the meaning and importance of being the captain of a team, and it was you who gave me guidance and supervision to get me to where I am today." …,
"You are the best and best manager in the world, I can't put you in words to describe how grateful you are, but I ask you to believe that in my mind, you will always be my most respected and beloved teacher and friend, and I hope to be able to share with you the most important moment of my life!"
The live TV camera gave Yang Cheng, the famous coach who has cultivated many world footballers, and he looks quite moved at this moment, because only he knows that winning the Ballon d'Or as a goalkeeper, this process is undoubtedly very long and difficult for Casillas, because he is a goalkeeper, the last hurdle of the team, the most inconspicuous person!
"I want to thank Bosque, thank you for your trust, I would like to thank Florentino, I would like to thank Piri, I will thank Putragueno, I will thank everyone in Real Madrid and the Spanish national team, and I hope to be able to share this trophy with all of you, with Real Madrid and with the Spanish fans, with all the Spaniards."
"It's not just for me, it's for the whole Real Madrid team, it's for the whole Spanish team, it's for everyone!"
After finishing speaking, Casillas also learned from Yang Cheng to take a few steps back, bowed deeply, turned around and walked off the stage.
In this process, everyone can see the sparkle in his eyes, which is fixed on the big screen, which is so conspicuous and moving.
He was just a goalkeeper, but he won the first FIFA Ballon d'Or!
He is the patron saint of Real Madrid and Spain, San Cassie! (To be continued......)
