Chapter 607 - 0245 The Biggest Winner of the Sports Oscar (Seeking Subscriptions)_2
Lippi stepped onto the stage amid applause.
The big screen showed Italy’s championship journey, the performance of the players in the locker room. Although Huang Kaiwen did not appear on camera, the footage of Maldini thanking him in front of the camera caught many people’s attention.
The Italy national team players were all applauding for Huang Kaiwen.
When they and the entire nation of Italy had lost confidence, it was the then number ten of Milan who inspired them.
Recognition from the best player ignited their fighting spirit.
Huang Kaiwen put his hands together and also applauded for the world champions.
Attention returned to the stage where Lippi stood and said, "Teamwork is very important. On the World Cup stage, the players united and we achieved the best result. Paul’s decision to participate in the World Cup was also very important, as was Kevin’s support... I am a champion coach, but just one among those striving for the championship. Without the players and staff working hard, we wouldn’t have lifted the Hercules Cup, so this award belongs to all members of the Italy team, to the fans who support the Italy national team, and also to Kevin."
The venue erupted with enthusiastic applause.
The camera intentionally focused on Zidane, one of the candidates for the Best Comeback award. Of course, Zidane would not applaud.
