Inzaghi said sulkily, "Kevin’s life is truly amazing; sometimes, I wish I were him."
"Don’t be too greedy as a person. Fans would also want to become the good-looking world champion Inzaghi."
He didn’t understand what Inzaghi had to be discontented about. The life of a football player was already much more exciting than that of an average person. Gattuso was very grateful for everything football had brought him.
"Damn it, ’beautiful’ is not the word to describe me; handsome, understand, handsome!"
"Alright, the handsome Filippo, and the even more handsome Kevin. You can’t even compete with Kevin’s looks, no wonder you’re jealous of him."
"What jealousy? I am not jealous of Kevin. After all, we are the Three Musketeers of Milan!"
Inzaghi defended, "I’m just emotional because Kevin has won everything; he might really be God’s son."
"You can’t just look at the positives."
Maldini said, "Don’t you know how many times Kevin has been injured? If I had suffered such terrible injuries, I might have made the same decision as Deisler to stay away from the pitch. You should realize that while you see Kevin’s success, you should also see how hard he worked to come back. He nearly died on the pitch several times; I think the honors he has received still do not match his efforts."
Pirlo nodded and said, "Thinking of the injuries Kevin suffered, I’ve never envied what he’s won. All his current glory was earned with his life."
"Right, you’re both right."
Inzaghi said with a grimace.
He was just being reflective, and these bastards ended up schooling him.
If it were him, he wouldn’t want to suffer as many injuries as Huang Kaiwen either.
The annual Best Disabled Athlete went to Martin Brundle.
Last year’s Laurence Public Welfare Sports winner, Jannik Kostelic, opened the envelope, stared at Huang Kaiwen, and said, "There is a player who has established a foundation that has helped many people; even youngsters from my homeland Croatia who have been ravaged by violence and crime have received help from this foundation. Thank you, Kevin, for everything you’ve done for this world!!!"
[Ding, snatching from the British boxer Luke Dodney...]
Huang Kaiwen was now certain that he could snatch awards from other sports athletes.
After hugging Kostelic and receiving the trophy, Huang Kaiwen once again stood behind the podium.
"When receiving the award earlier, the presenter said that everyone deserved a trophy, and that’s indeed the case. I received the Public Welfare Sports Award because football players get more attention, it doesn’t mean that I am better than the other nominees. Every good intention weighs the same. The stories of the other candidates always remind me of what I should do for this world, and I will continue to work hard in the days to come," Huang Kaiwen said, holding the trophy with one hand.
The Barcelona Concert Hall erupted in the warmest applause of the day.
In Europe and America, charity is always the best topic.
It won’t offend any crazy groups, and it can boost one’s reputation.
As Huang Kaiwen stepped off the stage, many known and unknown people stood up to shake his hand. When he returned to his seat, he spread his hand open to reveal several small notes with phone numbers written on them.
"Maybe you can pick two."
The young lady said, looking at the notes written with lipstick.
Huang Kaiwen gave her a heavy pat and whispered in her ear, "Watch your words, or I’ll let you know what the top ten tortures are."
"Who’s afraid? Bring it on!"
The young lady said with her eyes shining.
At the award ceremony, he really didn’t have any good options.
But when he got back to rest, he would surely show the young lady what he was capable of.
The next awards were the two most important individual prizes.
Haining, Isinbayeva, Cruyff, Manado, Maurismo, and Sharapova were competing for the Best Female Athlete of the Year. The presenter took the stage and announced the winner: Russian pole vault queen Isinbayeva.
Isinbayeva covered her mouth, shedding tears of joy, and stood on the stage for several seconds before composing herself to give her acceptance speech.
Lily and Shanshan both held Huang Kaiwen’s hand.
After Isinbayeva stepped off the stage, Shanshan said, "Best Male Athlete is not too friendly to team sports, so even if you don’t win the award, don’t be disappointed."
"That’s right, in my heart, you’re the best!"
Lily said, raising her fist.
The big screen showed the photos of the Best Male Athlete nominees.
Then there was a clip of Fernando Alonso in action on the F1 track, and each nominee had a short video. Huang Kaiwen’s was a highlight reel from his time in Milan, ending with his header against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League.
This was the evening’s most important prize.
That’s why it was presented last.
The commentators and fans in front of the TV were also tense.
In 2006, Huang Kaiwen couldn’t get the Best Male Athlete of the Year based on his 2004-2005 UEFA Champions League final performance, and they were worried he would once again miss out on the trophy.
Inside [Huang Kaiwen’s Forum]
"They’re rigging it; Kevin should have won the award long ago!"
"Exactly, football is the world’s number one sport; why wouldn’t they give my husband the Best Male Athlete!"
"Even giving Kevin a Lifetime Achievement Award now wouldn’t be too much. The Pope has praised Kevin several times publicly!"
[Shanshan the Great Devil]: "Kevin, no, hubby, I was wrong, I really was."
