Although the authoritative awards of the Lawrence World Sports Awards have always been out of reach for football, each award ceremony will not be missing from football players. Generally speaking, active players rarely participate.

For example, at this year's Shanghai Lawrence Awards, French football legend Cantona, Spanish defender Puyor, Brazil's legendary right-back Cafu, German legendary center Bierkhov, former German national goal Lehman and other famous football players all gathered in Shanghai.

Although they were the main players on the football field and were able to beat them up, they were still very united when they came off the court, especially in such a sports event. Even the Barcelona legend Puyor, who suffered all the hardships in his career, immediately greeted Yang Yang when he saw Yang Yang and took the initiative to say hello to him.

Yang Yang is also very polite in the face of these football seniors. Moreover, since China is the host, Yang Yang is also very enthusiastic about their situation in Shanghai, and even asked them to stay in China for a while and go traveling everywhere.

This time, Bierkhov and Lehmann both represented the German national team at this grand event. Bierkhov was also the leader of the German national team, and he had previously encountered China that he led Germany to the final of the Brazil World Cup.

Obviously, this time they also came for the Lawrence Best Team Award.

However, even if the competitors in the awards meet each other, they are very polite when they meet off the court.

This is also a feature of the Lawrence Awards Conference. The internal disputes between football can be very fierce, but in the face of other competitive events, at least we must maintain unity and be consistent with the outside world.

Especially afterwards, as a representative of Real Madrid, the head of the public relations department, Butragno, also attended the scene and immediately came to Yang Yang and joked that he came here to bring Yang Yang back to Madrid.

...

At about eight o'clock, the award ceremony officially began.

The national anthem of the People's Republic of China was played on the spot, and everyone stood up and calmly. All the Chinese in the venue were also very serious, either singing silently in their hearts or singing along with the national anthem.

The mayor of Shanghai then went on stage to deliver a speech, welcomed all the world sports superstars to Shanghai to attend this grand event. Shanghai senior officials also visited the scene, and then played a short video introducing Shanghai, followed by an ancient Chinese gong and drum performance.

The host Juan Fu received warm applause from the audience as soon as he appeared. This British movie star who became famous all over the world because of Sherlock Holmes is not as withdrawn as in the TV series, but is very humorous. He used the Chinese "Thank you, hello" to make everyone in the audience amused, and then introduced the impact of sports on ordinary people.

The first award was awarded the Best Team Award, which was announced by British actor Henry Cavill, who played the Hollywood blockbuster Superman, and the Italian handsome Capello was responsible for presenting the award.

The Chinese national team was also shortlisted for this award. The biggest competitors were Real Madrid and the German national team, but unfortunately, the German national team won the award in the end, and Bierkhov came on stage to receive the award on behalf of the German team.

The second award is the Special Contribution Award.

This is not a permanent award, it only appeared once before tonight, that is, it was awarded to swimming star Phelps in 2013. Tonight was the second award, awarded to Chinese tennis star Lena, and was presented to her by Tiantan superstar Michael Johnson. This was also the first Chinese to win the award tonight.

After a wonderful wheelbarrow performance, Dutch legendary star Gulit came on stage to present the Lawrence Charity Sports Fund Award, which was given to the Afghan Girls Skateboarding League, followed by the major award for Best Female Athlete. The guest presented the French legendary star Cantona, and the winner was Ethiopian middle and long-distance runner Genzebe Dibaba.

Genzebe is the youngest among the three famous Dibaba sisters. In the indoor competition last year and this year, she broke the women's 1,500 meters, 3,000 meters and 5,000 meters and the world's best results of two miles. She defeated Chinese tennis player Lena and American tennis player Serena to win the award.

Missing the Best Female Athlete Award made countless viewers in the venue and in front of the TV feel sorry for Li Na. At the same time, many people are worried that this year's host China may find it difficult to win the major award.

Gymnastics Prince Li Ning presented the award for the Best Extreme Athlete Award, with the American speed diving player Eustas, followed by the Best Breakthrough Award. Originally, it was Lina, but the spot temporarily became a former motorcycle superstar Mike Duhan, and the award was the Australian F1 racer Ricardo who played for the Red Bull team.

The awards were suspended again, and Lawrence Sports Academy announced the five new members to join this year, namely Li Xiaopeng, a gymnast from China, Yang Yang, a former short track speed skater, Yao Juren, and two athletes from Kenya and India.

As the awards deepened, everyone gradually began to wonder, because the biggest surprise tonight was Yang Yang's attendance.

In the past two days, Yang Yang gave up the La Liga game and asked Real Madrid for leave to go to China to participate in Lawrence. He has been hotly hyped by media and fans all over the world. Lawrence's attention this year has reached an unprecedented level. It can be said that the whole world is looking forward to it. Everyone is curious whether Yang Yang will win the award?

Not only were the fans outside anxious, but the guests in the venue were also surprised, why wasn't it Yang Yang's turn yet?

The further you go, the heavier the prize will be, which is the rule of all award ceremony.

Could it be that Lawrence has set up a new finale award for Yang Yang?

...

Kokuva, a model and actor from Czech Republic, received the Best Comeback Award, and South African rugby star Schalke Borg won the award. He miraculously defeated the deadly bacterial meningitis and successfully made a comeback in 2014. It was very touching.

Korean movie star Ha Ji-won partnered with German front goalkeeper Lehman to award the best disabled player, American wheelchair racer McFadden won the award, but because he was unable to move, his mother came to receive the award on his behalf.

Then there is the Sports Spirit Award, and the winner is Chinese basketball star Yao Juren, who is the second Chinese athlete to win the award tonight, and he deserves it.

At this moment, everyone at the scene was filled with suspense, and everyone was curious whether there would be any grand prizes next?

According to past tradition, the Best Male Athlete Award will not be awarded to football players. The biggest favorite to win this year is tennis star Djokovic, who won the Wimbledon men's singles championship and the year-end finals championship last year, and won the Australian Open championship at the beginning of this year. It is extremely glorious and has the highest bid for winning.

So, what if the Best Male Athlete Award is given to Djokovic, what about Yang Yang?

Could it be that he is just coming here to join in the fun?

If this is the case, Yang Yang will definitely be scolded to death by the football media and fans tomorrow, because no football superstar has ever come to join in the fun, and what they care more about is the FIFA Golden Ball Award.

Many people in the football field secretly secretly sweated for Yang Yang, but in contrast, Yang Yang was sitting there, talking and laughing with his wife Su Ye and Real Madrid legend Butragno, as if he didn't care at all.

This kid is so heartless!

The more Yang Yang is like this, the more sure everyone is. Lawrence must have added a major award for him, and it may even be the finale.

But at this moment, Moses, chairman of the Lawrence Sports Foundation, slowly walked out of the podium.

At this moment, the audience exclaimed.

Moses has always been awarding the finale award. When he appears, it proves that the last award tonight will be awarded immediately.

Is it necessary to award the Best Male Athlete Award to Yang Yang?

But this possibility was quickly left behind by everyone on the scene and the audience in front of the TV, because there has never been such a precedent in Lawrence in the past decade.

This year is the 16th edition, and in the past sixteen years, there have been very few football players and football teams favored by Lawrence, let alone awarding the best male athlete to football players.

But if not, wouldn’t Yang Yang really come here to join in the fun?

...

Moses was obviously not surprised by the discussion on the scene.

As the chairman of the Lawrence Sports Foundation, the first thing he did after he came to power was to introduce to everyone the achievements and progress Lawrence has made in the past decade and the influence it has caused. Then he elaborated on Lawrence's philosophy.

This has been a routine of previous award ceremony, and everyone is not surprised at all.

Moses then began to introduce the list of the best male athlete awards this year. Every time he introduced an athlete, the big screen behind him would play a short video of the athlete.

The first to appear were tennis superstar Djokovic, followed by British racer Hamilton, French track and field athlete Reynold LaVilene, British golfer McIlroy, Spanish motorcycle player Mark Marquez, and Chinese football player Yang Yang.

It is worth noting that Yang Yang's short film was put to the end, while Djokovic was put to the first place.

In the eyes of many people, this seemed to have become a hint, so that after the short film was played, many people looked at Yang Yangtou with sympathy, feeling that he had a hot face on his cold butt.

Isn't it?

Didn’t you just want to win an award when you came to the scene?

But what is the result?

The award was not received, but was treated coldly, and he did not even get the additional awards rumored by the outside world. He was extremely disappointed.

On the other hand, Djokovic participated in the competition in Monaco and failed to come to the scene, but he was still ranked first, still a favorite to win the championship, and was still favored by Lawrence.

To put it bluntly, Lawrence just doesn’t care about football. It is basically unlikely that football players want to win Lawrence’s most important Best Male Athlete Award.

So, there is a saying in the football circle that being shortlisted means winning!

Of course, in the field of football, the FIFA Golden Ball Awards are more important than Lawrence.

It’s a pity that Yang Yang shouldn’t have appeared in Lawrence, Shanghai tonight!

Just when everyone was in a position to fight Yang Yang, Moses on the podium finally opened the winner's envelope.
Chapter completed!
