Chapter 401 European Golden Boy Award

The European Golden Boy Award is an award that began to be selected last year.Sponsored by "Turin Sports News", votes are sent to the authoritative sports media in 30 European countries every year, and more than [-] journalists form an expert jury.

Because this award is voted and selected by professional and authoritative media, its authority and professionalism are guaranteed.

Secondly, because this is the only important award for players under the age of 21, this award is full of gold.

It can be said that those who can win this award must be the best among young players.

Because the selection by the media is not like the selection of national team coaches and captains, who only recognize fame, and whoever is famous will be selected.The selection of the media should be more rigorous, and they will refer to it from multiple aspects.

Authoritative media such as "French Football", "L'Equipe", "The Times", "Marca", "Mundo Deportivo" and "Bild" are all judges.

This is why the European Ballon d'Or is obviously an award of the Confederation of Continental Football, but it is comparable in status to the World Player of the Year sponsored by FIFA.

So even though the European Golden Boy Award has only been held for one year, being able to win this award is also the goal of many young players.

The winner of the first European Golden Boy Award is the Dutch player van der Vaart who played for Ajax.

Van der Vaart played well for Ajax that year, and he seemed to be the core of this Dutch giants.

The competition for this year's European Golden Boy Award is very fierce.

Because there are two outstanding players, it is difficult to choose.

Rongguang performed well in the league in the coming year, helping Werder Bremen to win the Bundesliga championship. He also scored 21 goals himself, and performed well in the Champions League this season. He scored six goals in the group stage and currently ranks second in the UEFA Champions League scorer list, second only to Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy who scored eight goals.

As for Wayne Rooney, he performed well at Everton and joined the giant Manchester United in the summer with a transfer fee that broke the transfer value of young English players. In addition, he was also selected for the England national team and performed well in the European Cup in the summer of 2004.After joining Manchester United, he staged a hat-trick in his first Champions League game, which can be described as the limelight.

Both are young and have performed well.

It's hard to choose just one of them.

But most people think that although it is difficult, Rongguang should be able to become the European Golden Boy.

Rongguang does not have an overwhelming advantage against Rooney, but it does not mean that he has no advantage.

Rongguang's performance at Werder Bremen is obvious to all. Like Rooney, he was also in a mid-range team. Rooney did not help Everton win the Premier League championship.But glory allowed Werder Bremen to win their first championship in 16 years.

Moreover, Rongguang scored 21 goals in a season. Although he did not get the top scorer of that season, he also ranked in the top four.

Glory's performance in Germany is already phenomenal.

In addition, in the Champions League, although Rongguang did not perform a hat-trick in the first Champions League group match he participated in, and did not perform a hat-trick in the entire group stage, his six goals made him rank second in the Champions League scorer list. For a young man who is only 19 years old, such an achievement is very remarkable.

So everyone felt that Rongguang would definitely win the Golden Boy Award this season.

Especially German and Chinese media.

The Chinese media are the most enthusiastic.

Because this will be the most important personal honor that Chinese players have won in Europe.

A month ago, the Chinese media began to hype the news that Rongguang was about to win the European Golden Boy Award, and they also enthusiastically introduced to Chinese fans what the "European Golden Boy Award" is a newly emerging award.

Naturally, how tall and how boastful.

What "European Youth Footballer"...

The Chinese media can't wait to cancel the word "youth".

So Chinese fans know that there is such a "Golden Globe Award" for young people in Europe, and the trophy is really a football made of gold.

Everyone is looking forward to Rongguang being able to win such a super awesome award.

Of course, the Chinese media also introduced Rongguang's opponent Rooney to the fans.

In fact, no introduction is needed, everyone knows it well.

Because the influence of the Premier League in China is very large, although it is not broadcast on CCTV, local stations have made great contributions to the promotion of the Premier League, especially the TV stations in Guangdong.

In the Guangdong area, the Premier League fans are the most, which is mainly influenced by Hong Kong.

But in the final analysis, the most important thing is that the promotion of the Premier League is done well, and the well-developed media in the UK promotes it well.

Fans from other leagues will always disdain that the stars of the Premier League are blown out, which also shows how well-developed the British media is...

Players who come out of the Premier League will be transformed into world-renowned stars after being touted by the British media.

Since Wayne Rooney made his debut at Everton, the British media have continuously promoted and reported him. With the huge influence of the Premier League, fans all over the world know that England has produced a peerless genius.

And this summer's European Cup is also a successful promotion for Rooney.

Chinese fans knew Rooney well, and thought that if Rong Guang could beat such an awesome star, it would be really amazing, and they would show our country's prestige!

The German media also paid close attention to the results of the European Golden Boy Awards.

Because in the World Footballer and the European Ballon d'Or, it has nothing to do with Germany.

The only thing that matters is the European Golden Boy Award.

If Rongguang can win the European Golden Boy Award, it will be considered the pride of the Bundesliga.After all, glory is cultivated by the Bundesliga - the Germans think so.

The German media is even helping Rongguang to build momentum.

During this period, Rong Guang also accepted interviews from German newspaper Bild and Der Spiegel.

This is all to increase the exposure of Glory.

"What is the European Golden Boy Award?" Rong Guang was really ignorant of many common sense about football.Before the interview, when Deborah reminded him that he had some questions to answer, Rong Guang just asked him.

It's a good thing he didn't ask this question during the interview, otherwise I don't know what the reporter will say about glory in the future...

"...The player who is about to win the European Golden Boy Award doesn't even know what he is going to win..." If this word gets out, Rong Guang might be labeled an "idiot".

Deborah patiently explained to Rong Guang that this award has only been born for more than a year.

"It sounds really powerful!" Rong Guang sighed after hearing this.

"It's actually quite powerful," Deborah said. "Being able to win this award shows that you have a bright future."

In anticipation, the selection results of the European Golden Boy Awards have finally been announced.

"Torino Sport" published this result in an inconspicuous position in their own newspaper and on the official website.

"The new European Golden Boy - the 'Children of Light' from China!"

Huge headline, below is a photo of Rong Guang racing furiously in the game.

As most people expected, Rongguang won the 2004 European Golden Boy Award!

Right after the news was announced, Rong Guang immediately received a call from "Turin Sports News".

On the phone, the editor-in-chief of "Turin Sports Daily" congratulated Rong Guang, and then hoped to get an exclusive interview with Rong Guang.

Naturally, Rong Guang would not refuse this kind of thing. It was normal for someone to present him with an award and accept an exclusive interview.

So Rong Guang agreed.

Just after hanging up the call of "Turin Sports News", Molly's call came again.

"Congratulations, Glory! You are the best young player in Europe!"

"You all know, Sister Molly?" Rong Guang didn't know that the news had been made public.

"The whole world knows it, hehe! Because of the time difference, it will take a while for the country to know... You have created history, glory. You are the only player in China who has won this kind of personal honor."

"Sounds amazing."

"It's not as simple as it sounds, you are already very good! Accept an exclusive interview with me recently? This is hot news. In China, countless fans want to know how you feel after winning the award..."

"no problem."

When Rong Guang answered Molly's call, Deborah's phone kept ringing.

Basically, they were called by reporters from major media, they just wanted to interview Rong Guang.

There are also some calls from sponsors who have a cooperative relationship with Rongguang. Congratulations to Rongguang for winning.

After all, the glory wins the award, and they also benefit.

And when Rong Guang felt that the club went to participate in training, he also received congratulations and congratulations from his teammates in the team.

The team's head coach Schaff and the club's general manager Allofs also came to congratulate Rongguang.

Many Werder Bremen fans also reacted quickly. They have already pulled up banners on the sidelines, which read: "Europe's golden boy, everyone expects it, China'Son of Light'!"

There were significantly more journalists gathered outside the training base than usual.

Everyone came to report the reaction after Rong Guang won the European Golden Boy Award.

Most of them are Chinese media.

Many Chinese journalists even just arrived from China.

Chinese football has always given people the impression of being weak, and they have never been able to make Chinese people feel proud in world football.

For a long time, Chinese football players have had a low self-esteem.

At this time, Rong Guang was born and won a European Golden Boy Award, which is the highest honor for players under the age of 21 in Europe. Winning this award proves that he is better than all the players under the age of 21 playing in Europe!

Such a personal honor was unthinkable in Chinese football before, but now it has become a reality.

Can Chinese journalists not be excited?

Chinese fans are more excited than them.

On the Internet in China, posts discussing the Glorious Award have already exploded.

Under the news of the honorable awards on the major portal websites, there are more than a thousand messages for each article.

On many professional football forums, the news of the glorious award is also a hot topic of discussion.

Of course, if there were those who praised Rongguang, there would naturally be those who praised Rongguang.

Rongfan and Ronghei always appear together on the Internet in China.

While Rongguang's fans were cheering, these Rongheimen came out and said sourly that the European Golden Boy Award, which has just been established for two terms, has no gold content and no authority at all.Europeans don't care about this award, and only Chinese with low self-esteem care so much about such an inexplicable award.

Rongguang winning the European Golden Boy Award is like many awards in China with various names, as long as you give money, you can get it.

Of course, as soon as these voices came out, they were drowned out by the saliva of Rong Guang's fans.

Europe does not pay much attention to the European Golden Boy Award, and everyone cites the reactions of many European media to refute Ronghei.

Ronghei were scolded to the point of disgrace, and it is estimated that they would not dare to show their faces again for a long time...
