"Frankly, I never thought about these!"

At the press conference of the FIFA annual awards ceremony in Milan, Yang Yang sat on the sofa chair, crossed his legs easily and smiled and answered questions from media reporters on the scene. Their questions were very sharp. If you want to know why Real Madrid and Ajax's styles are so different, it is obvious that you should guide the topic to the public opinion of the last two games.

"I am a head coach. The first thing I have to consider is the idea of ​​everyone in the team. We all want to win, so my most important task is to help everyone in the team achieve this goal. As for how to win and whether it is beautiful, this should be the matter after winning."

Speaking of this, Yang Yang smiled and pointed to the media asking questions, "It seems like now, the reason why I sit here in a good mood and answer this question is because I won. If I lose, I should be dark and leave early."

There was a burst of laughter at the scene.

Yang Yang's answer is very interesting, but it is also a big truth.

As a professional head coach, you must first ensure that the team wins before making any decision.

If you can't win, no matter how beautiful you play, it will be in vain.

Real Madrid has never lacked any head coaches who play beautifully in history, but they can't stay for long if they can't win.

...

There will be three people participating in the press conference, namely Yang Yang, Van Dijk and Messi.

This is the top three players shortlisted for the World Footballer this year. Yang Yang is Ajax's representative, Van Dijk is Liverpool, and Messi is Barcelona. Basically, most people believe that Yang Yang can win the championship.

Not only because he just won UEFA Player of the Year, but also because he led Ajax to perform very well in the Champions League, with seventeen goals, each as precious as gold.

The topic on the scene naturally revolved around Yang Yang and some recent controversies about Real Madrid.

Yang Yang highly praised De Bruyne, who is the most relied on by his player he has relied on this season.

"He is a world-class player, and I have always believed in this. He can bring a huge leap to the overall strength of our team. If he can maintain his current state and even go further, then I believe he will become a great and incredible midfielder."

Yang Yang also mentioned other players, such as Casemiro and Kante, as the media meant, who is better? This has always been the focus of debate between media and fans around the world, but Yang Yang felt that this should not be a problem.

"I want to say that it is a very happy thing to have both Kante and Casemiro. They can support the midfield, protect the defense line, and handle the ball very reliable. The two have some differences in their characteristics, but overall, they are both very outstanding."

"I don't think we should care about who is better, because these are two of the world's top midfielders."

Yang Yang was also asked about Hazard. When facing Sevilla, Hazard missed two single-on-one opportunities, but made amazing contributions on the defensive end. The number of steals in the game was as high as eight, and seven of them were completed in his own half. This even made him tied for the highest in the game, like Casemiro and Sevilla's central defender Carriso.

The question of the media is that Hazard should be a creative technical offensive player, but it seems that Yang Yang has used it as a defensive player. Combined with the current criticism of Real Madrid football, is Yang Yang stifling the creativity of players?

Yang Yang's answer to this was, "Never, no one can kill the creativity of players!"

After a pause, Yang Yang explained: "I can understand the concerns of many fans. They think Hazard's performance on the offensive end is no longer decisive. I know that I have discussed it with him many times. I think this is a very worthy issue."

"There is no doubt that Hazard is a top attacker, he is very, very good, but since he reached his peak, in the past two or three years, especially in the past two years, we can clearly feel his changes, and he has begun to lose that feeling of hunger, which is not possible."

"I told Hazard that he should become braver, stronger, and more aggressive, and he needs to be more ruthless to himself, so we see that Hazard has lost a lot this season, he has become more devoted in the game, and has also shown his recovery in offense."

"You ask me, Hazard tied for eight steals, tied for the highest in the game because his creativity was slaughtered?"

"I don't think so. I think this is a performance of his efforts to find his own form. I am very happy to see his efforts. I also believe that he will quickly find his strongest self. And you must know that he has two solo shots in this game. Although he did not score, he is outstanding enough."

"As long as he maintains his current form, the strongest Hazard will definitely come back soon!"

Yang Yang also mentioned Mbappe, who believed that Mbappe was like other players, working very hard and devoted.

"We all know he's excellent, but he didn't do enough in the past, and now he's starting to focus more on the game, not only on offense but on defense, so he's getting better and better."

When Real Madrid narrowly defeated Sevilla 1-0 away and won the top game, Barcelona suffered another Waterloo away, losing to Granada 0-2, and Atletico Madrid drew with Vigo Celta 0-0 at home.

In this way, after the five rounds of La Liga, Real Madrid actually won five consecutive games, leading the way, five points more than Atletico Madrid, which ranked sixth and eight points more than Barcelona, ​​which ranked eighth.

This is already a considerable advantage.

Yang Yang does not think Real Madrid has any capital to be proud of. "Every team will experience turmoil, which will happen to Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and the same is true for us. What we can do is to strive to win every game."

"I told my players that we don't need to pay attention to anything else, just focus on doing one thing well and playing the next game!"

...

The press conference that was supposed to be three candidates selected as World Footballer, turned out to be a one-man show by Yang Yang, which made Messi and Van Dijk very embarrassed and helpless.

Because Yang Yang has shifted the topic to them many times, but the media is only interested in Yang Yang.

There are so many halos on him.

For example, at this year's award ceremony, he was shortlisted for two heavyweight awards, namely World Footballer and Best Men's Football Coach of the Year. The former is Messi and Van Dijk, while the latter is competing with Klopp and Guardiola.

This situation is unprecedented in the history of world football.

More importantly, this is his thirteenth time to enter the top three list of World Footballers. All the first twelve times have been elected. If he is elected again this year, it will be a thirteen consecutive years of awards. What an incredible thing!

You should know that the World Footballer was founded in 1991, and has only been 29th in total so far. However, Yang Yang has won the 12th class alone and is currently the most powerful candidate for the 13th class.

What a desperate thing this is!

…………

…………

At the beginning of the award ceremony, the first one was the best team of the year that had been announced to the public.

The goalkeeper is Allison, the defense is De Rigt, Ramos, Van Dijk and Marcelo, the midfield is Modric and Frankie De Jong, and the frontcourt are Mbappe, Messi, Hazard and Yang Yang.

In fact, after this list was announced, there was strong controversy over the selection of several Real Madrid players, but the final list did not change, and Real Madrid was still shortlisted for four players.

On the contrary, Ajax, who won the Champions League, only ranked three players, which made many people feel unfair.

The annual Fair Competition Award was awarded to Leeds United in the Championship.

This England powerhouse, who had been in decline for many years, was in the penultimate round of the English Championship. When playing against Aston Villa, the latter's player was injured and Leeds United scored a goal. However, Bielsa then directed the players to give up defense and allowed Aston Villa to equalize the score. In the end, the two teams shook hands and made peace, which led to Leeds United losing hope of entering the Premier League directly and could only participate in the upgraded play-offs.

The final result of the playoffs was that Leeds United lost to Derby County three-4 in two rounds and failed to enter the Premier League. Instead, Aston Villa, who was let go by Leeds United, first eliminated West Bromwich in the playoffs, then defeated Derby County, and finally entered the Premier League this season.

To this end, FIFA awarded the Fair Play Award to Leeds United and Bielsa.

But unfortunately, Yang Yang failed to see Bielsa on the scene, but he still entrusted Leeds United captain Cooper who came to present the award to bring his greetings to Bielsa, hoping that he would meet Bielsa one day.

To him, Bielsa is also a grandmaster at the temple level!

...

The goalkeeper of the year was given to Atletico Madrid women's football team Dutch player Van Waindal, the goalkeeper of the year was given to Liverpool's Brazilian goalkeeper Alison, and the fans were given to Silvia Gleke, who explained every match for his blind son's match in Palmeiras.

The Puskas of the Year award was awarded to Hungary's young player Daniel Sorry, while the Women's Football Coach of the Year was given to the head coach of the US Women's Football Team, Jill Ellis.

When it was the turn to award the Best Men's Football Coach Award, the atmosphere suddenly changed and began to get a little nervous.

Tonight's Scala Grand Theater in Milan was full of guests. In addition to the stars, famous coaches also supported them, including Italian coaches Capello, Lippi, etc., as well as the white wizard Peron who is far away in Argentina, Van Gaal, Van Basten and Rijcalde from the Netherlands, also came to the scene.

The award presenter even asked Mourinho to come on himself. This Portuguese madman with witty comments received thunderous applause as soon as he appeared.

He first commented on two old Premier League opponents, Klopp and Guardiola, and then joked about Yang Yang.

"I think it's getting harder to get through the head coach's industry. Now even the kid who will be thirty-three years old will come to compete for our jobs in a few days. Can't you play football well? You should get a few more World Footballers instead of competing for the best male football coach of the year, right?"

Mourinho's joke made the audience burst into laughter, but in the end he also said it.

"Of course, if you invited me to coach Ajax last year, I would be very happy, but I don't guarantee to win the championship!"

Everyone burst into laughter again.
Chapter completed!
