"Now I announce that the player who won the 2012 European Footballer of the Year is - Artus Lee!" Platini said this, leading the audience to applaud together.
After waiting for a while, Platini continued, "Okay, I would like to invite Artus to come forward and say a few words for everyone."
After speaking, Platini stepped aside with a smile and gave the stage to Li Yi.
The moment Platini read out his name, Li Yi felt that his heart was completely relaxed. He had always heard that European football was very dark. So even though his performance in the past year was better than the two around him
After climbing a few steps, Li Yi really had no confidence that he would be able to win this coveted award.
Fortunately, in such a big matter, UEFA did not dare to go too far. In the end, it still got its wish and awarded the award to itself.
Suppressing his inner excitement, Li Yi came to the podium, picked up the microphone, and said without saying a word, "Today, I won this award. In addition to thanking my parents, my club teammates and the journalist friends who voted for me,
In addition, the one I want to thank the most is my former agent, Mr. Leo Lucas. Without him, I believe I might be a financial tycoon today, or I might be a food deliveryman, sweeping the road, or even...
Begging for food under the overpass! But it is definitely not a football player. Without him, I would not be where I am today. So, I am here and want to sincerely say to him - thank you!"
Having said this, Li Yi put the microphone aside, and then bowed affectionately for Lucas, who was not at the scene today!
Wrinkling his nose slightly and swallowing the tears that had flowed to his eyes, Li Yi turned his head, looked at the direction of Messi and Ronaldo, and continued, "In addition, what I want to say is that today, I can meet Leo
I feel very honored to stand on this podium with Nell and Christy. In my opinion, my ability should not be as good as the two of them. The reason why I got this award is really a fluke!"
"Okay, that's all I have to say, thank you everyone for your support!"
Taking advantage of Li Yi's speech, the master worked overtime and engraved Li Yi's name on the trophy backstage. At this time, after Li Yi's speech was over, the official immediately sent someone from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.
.
And when Li Yi took the silver cup that looked like an open jersey from Platini's hand, Li Yi's tears finally couldn't stop flowing down.
…………
----------------------------------
After Li Yi won the European Footballer of the Year award, it goes without saying how Olic and others celebrated him grandly when he returned to the club.
Soon, on September 2nd, Liverpool ushered in their third Premier League opponent, Arsenal.
Although Arsenal sells its captain every year and has almost become a good hand in delivering cannonballs to other giants, so its strength has not been as good as before in recent years, but this does not mean that Arsenal is not competitive. At least, for the lack of Li
It is still a tough nut for Liverpool to crack.
In the end, the results of the competition confirmed people's speculations.
Despite the hard work of Liverpool players, the Red Army still only managed to score 1 point at their home court.
As for the score of 0-0, the head coaches of both sides could barely accept it.
Bei jing time is September 10, 2012. Teachers' Day in China, for Li Yi, is definitely a day worth remembering and reminiscing about in the future.
Because on this day, Li Yi's suspension for the red card incident finally came to an end, and on this day, in the Red Army's away game against Stoke City, Li Yi also appeared on the Red Army's Premier League roster for the first time since joining Liverpool.
among.
"Hello, dear viewers, today's game between Stoke City and Liverpool will still be narrated by Mike."
Yes, today is Li Yi's first Premier League match after joining Liverpool. Sky TV, which took advantage of Li Yi's red card incident, chose to broadcast it live without any hesitation.
"Well, today's game is very interesting. I won't talk about the lineups of both sides. Let's take a look at this first." When the director switched the scene from the studio to the scene, Mike continued to explain, "Look at the people who are busy on the field.
That group of staff may be strange to everyone?
Haha, in fact, there is no need to be surprised. Today, although Liverpool is away from home, they still made an application before the game to have a re-enactment of the award ceremony for Artus here before the game. And for this kind of help
The English Football Association approves of the Premier League's aggressive behavior. You know, since Ronaldo left Manchester United, no player in the Premier League has been able to win the highest award in football for a long time! Although, Ah
Tes won this award not because of his outstanding performance in the Premier League."
The scene was just as Mike explained. After Li Yi received the European Footballer of the Year award in Monaco, he reenacted it again before the match against the opponent in Stoke City.
"Huh? Let's see? Dig! Have you seen it? Today, perhaps Liverpool wanted to let Artus really enjoy everyone's applause. They actually put the captain's armband that originally belonged to Steven Gerrard on Artus.
In the hands of Tes! I have to say, Rogers’ proposal is awesome!”
"Okay, everyone sees that the on-site award ceremony has ended. Without further ado, let's enter the competition together."
-----------------------------------------------
After Li Yi presented the award and a brief pre-match ceremony, the fourth round of the Premier League match between Stoke City and Liverpool kicked off.
…
The progress of the game was just as predicted by major media before the game. The help Li Yi's return brought to Liverpool was by no means as simple as 1+1=2.
In a heart-wrenching massacre, Li Yi declared to the Premier League teams on behalf of the Red Army that the wolf is coming!
"The Guardian" post-match commentary article - 8 to 0! 1she3 passes, the new European Footballer makes a move, Manchester United, are you ready?
As Manchester City's local newspaper, the "Guardian" expressed its own worries after witnessing Liverpool's madness. Their worries are not unreasonable. You know, two weeks later, the Red Army and the Red Devils will have a double red game.
Fight, wait!
A week later, on September 16th, the Red Army ushered in the fifth round of the Premier League, which was also the second round of the league after Li Yi returned, an away game against Sunderland.
In this game, the Red Army continued their strong performance from the previous round. Although the score was not that exaggerated, 4-0 was a real victory.
Li Yi's performance in the game was also outstanding, with 2 assists.
With 5 assists in 2 league rounds, Li Yi also instantly climbed to the top of the Premier League assists list with his strong performance.
On September 19th, the Red Army's new season's Champions League journey also kicked off.
1 pass 1 she. After winning the European Footballer of the Year award, Li Yi continued to be in hot form, almost single-handedly bringing another victory to Liverpool.
And with Li Yi's outstanding performance, the Red Army won the new French Ligue 1 champion Montpellier 2-0 in the away game without any blood.
Speaking of which, I have to mention Balotelli, who moved to Liverpool from Manchester City in the summer.
I don’t know if it’s better to have less brains, but Balotelli’s tacit understanding with Li Yi has reached a very high level in a short period of time.
It can be said that in the current Liverpool team, apart from Olic, the one who has the most tacit understanding with Li Yi is none other than Baron.
The tacit understanding with Li Yi also allowed Balotelli to score 5 goals in 5 league rounds and 1 goal in 1 Champions League round in the past month. He averaged one goal per game with super efficiency, surpassing Suarez who scored 3 goals.
Si, became the first striker in the Liverpool team.
After playing the Champions League group match against Montpellier, the Red Army headed non-stop to London. Here, three days later, they will face the toughest battle since Li Yi's return.
And their opponent is Tottenham Hotspur, who currently has 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in 5 games, and has the same points as Liverpool. Only because of the disadvantage of goal difference, they are ranked 9th in the standings!
Speaking of which, this game is really interesting to watch.
First, let’s look at the head-to-head records of the two teams in the past two seasons.
In the last two seasons, Liverpool has been unable to defeat Tottenham. In the 11-12 season, Liverpool was swept 0-4 by Tottenham at White Hart Lane. This was the worst defeat for Liverpool in 8 years since the 0-4 defeat to Manchester United on May 5, 2003.
A tragic defeat. In the second half of the season, in the second round, Liverpool, who returned home, tied with Tottenham 0-0.
In the 10-11 season, Liverpool suffered a double defeat from Tottenham, losing 0-2 at home and 1-2 away from Tottenham. Liverpool's double defeat against Tottenham needs to be traced back to the 2006-07 season, when Beni
Tes' Liverpool defeated the London team 3-0 at home and 1-0 away.
In addition, as for the head coach, it can be said that the current head coach of the two teams has an inexplicable connection with Uncle Mourinho.
Villas-Boas was Mourinho's assistant at Chelsea, responsible for technical guidance and data collection. Later, after Psy left, he briefly coached Chelsea, but due to poor results, he was soon fired by Abramovich.
Rogers was also Mourinho's staff. He came to Stamford Bridge in September 2004 to serve as Chelsea youth team coach. In July 2006, he became reserve team coach. He left in the summer of 2008 and came to the club after successfully coaching Swansea City.
