October 28th, Paris, France, Châtelet Theatre, the Ballon D'Or gala had begun and there were quite a few on the list of possible Ballon D'Or winners, but what mattered to you for now was whether Lamine was going to win any award, since you went with his parents and his little brother to accompany him. The winner of the Kopa trophy had been announced and luckily for you it was Lamine, which made you, him and his family very happy. The Spanish boy got up from his seat and began to walk towards the stage adjusting his suit a little while the theater applauded him, he received his award from the hands of former Dutch player Ruud Gullit, he approached the microphone placing his newly given award on the wooden base on which the microphone was resting. Lamine started his speech with a big smile on his face

— “ Well good evening, nothing, it’s an honour to be able to receive this award thanks to France Football for the recognition and above all the first thing I would like to thank is my mother, my father and my grandmother who are the ones who have always helped me and nothing, obviously also the staff, the players, the national team, mister Luis, Xavi who was with me and Hansi now, this is an effort that I dedicate to everyone who has supported me and Visca to Barça and the capital 304 ”

and before getting off, he grabbed the microphone for the last time, looking at you as if he were a little boy who had just bought an ice cream. He cleared his throat and pointed at you

— “ and also, many thanks to my best friend who was also with me whenever I needed him ”

he said that and then began to get off the stage and sit back down in his place, leaving his new trophy on his lap
