From Arsenal to the Ball God
Chapter 748 20: Five Individual Awards Presented! Avengers Alliance Joins the Premier League! Triumphant Return with Glory! (Part 4)
He wasn't watching, his gaze focused on the female host.
"The first award to present is....."
The female host stretched her tone, her glance full of amusement sweeping the stands, seemingly aware of the state after she says the next sentence.
"...is the Best Young Player Award of this event! I don't even need to say his name, can you tell me who he is!"
"....."
"Oh....." The French team fans cheered, they then helped the host shout out the name, "Ma'el.....!!"
"That's right!" The female host pointed at Ma'el with her script-holding hand, making an inviting gesture, "Let's welcome the Best Young Player of the 12th European Cup! Leon.... Ma'el!!"
Ma'el stepped onto the podium, this was probably the most undisputed award of all, the tournament's Best Player was already a certainty, not to mention the young player award.
Over the past 2 years, regarding honors and record-breaking, he has almost shed the 'young' prefix he once carried!
He can challenge all peak-period players throughout history, all records and honors!
After receiving the commemorative trophy, Ma'el simply raised the trophy to the fans as a sign, then stepped off the stage without making an acceptance speech.
Yet the sense of achievement was there, he could foresee that after this, his trophy room will further be adorned with a pile of trophies, the overall view becoming more resplendent.
Once all the replica trophies are made, he'll go for a stroll and check out the 3 championship trophies accumulated this year, and the personal honors snatched in these 3 events!
"The second award we are presenting is for the Assist King!"
The female host then directed her gaze towards the Spanish lineup, for such data-based awards there's no need for suspense, "Congratulations to Iniesta for claiming the award with 4 assists!"
"Clap clap.....!"
Applause sounded, mostly from the gracious French team fans, as most of the Spain fans had almost exited the venue.
Iniesta walked forward expressionlessly to receive the award, did not even raise the trophy, his arms drooping as he left the stage, evidently still not recovered from the recent sorrow.
"Please wait a moment."
The host smiled indicating them to wait, there seemed to be more awards.
Though Iniesta and the Spain players couldn't think what it might be, they remained standing where they were.
"The third is the Golden Boot Award."
The female host put on a mysterious smile again, pointing towards the French team lineup, "Ma'el! I believe the whole world knows this answer, he claimed the Golden Boot in record-breaking style!"
"Vamos.....!" The French team players lifted their arms and cheered towards Ma'el, mimicked his celebration moves, someone even jumped from side to side touching their heads and groins.
They were all delighted for Ma'el, using this way to cheer for their captain.
Ma'el ascended the stage once more, this time noticing a tray carried by a lady announcer holding two trophies.
"One is the Golden Boot Award, the other is the Golden Boot commemorative trophy, mainly awarded to the record holder."
The female host thoughtfully explained to him, "This was established back in 92, but over 20 years, no one has broken Platini's record, not even close, you are the first to claim it."
"Thank you, I'm honored."
Ma'el certainly didn't mind having more trophies, thanked them and took both heavy trophies in hand to play with.
Herewith, he's now assembled the Golden Boots for the Championship, Premier League, English League Cup, European Cup!
Still remaining are the UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, World Cup, European Golden Boot to complete the Golden Boot collector's grand slam!
This collection speed is quite fast!
Ma'el felt exceptionally joyful this time, standing on stage striking long poses with the cup, planning to deliver a few acceptance remarks, yet a microphone hasn't arrived.
Glancing at the female host who looked down embarrassedly, saying: "Please wait, there are 2 more awards."
"Oh." Ma'el awkwardly ruffled his hair, hastily stepped down.
"Haha.....!" His manner amused the French fans and teammates inside the venue, even Isabella laughed heartily.
After Ma'el stepped down, he handed the trophies to his girlfriend, "Hold this for me, this means I should have at least 1 more."
"Is there a possibility to sweep all?"
Isabella took the two trophies from his hands, holding three trophies with her slim jade-like hands that were somewhat unsteady, had to clamp one with her arm.
Ma'el shook his head, whispered: "Don't know, the organizers might compensate a Spain player with the final's Best Player, the tournament's Best to me."
Though he said so, sweeping 4 out of 5 awards still seemed thrilling..... he felt some anticipation, nothing was certain, there's still a chance.
"Next to present is the final's Best Player Award!"
The female host carried a bit of suspense this time, speaking slowly, "This is a swing-type award, as we know both sides have demonstrated top performance in the finals, who exactly should win it?"
Ma'el awaited eagerly, focusing on her, if he grabs this award, then chances of sweeping 4 out of 5 would really be possible.
Iniesta showed no expression, only waiting with a few close teammates.
The female host flashed a mischievous smile, finally raising her right hand, "Leon Ma'el! Congratulations!! Individual's third award of the tournament!
"His performance in the finals needs no further mention, each of his goals, even each touch, could be front-page news of the night! Congratulations again!"
