Chapter 129 List of European Golden Boy Awards

Three days after Liverpool won the first round of the Premier League, the German Footballer of the Year sponsored by the authoritative German media "Kicker" and the German Sports Journalists Association was also selected.

Royce overwhelmed Lin Tian with three votes to become the German Footballer of the Year in 2012. Behind Lin Tian were Hummels and Kagawa Shinji, but neither of them had as much regret as Lin Tian.

In the eyes of Dortmund fans and even some big figures in the German football world, if Lin Tian hadn't left England this summer, then this year's German Footballer of the Year might have made history and be won by a Chinese player.

But if there is no if, Lin Tian went to Liverpool, so he missed the honor of winning the German Footballer of the Year. For these, Lin Tian felt a little regretful, but he did not regret it. Since he left Germany, he had to accept some things that should have been obtained but still lost.

Later, Klopp, who had an intersection with both Lin Tian and Royce, also bluntly said in an interview: "Royce performed very well last season, and now he is a member of Dortmund, but we all have to admit that Lin's performance is also worthy of the German footballer. I believe Marco (Royce) thinks so too. In addition, I am honored to be their head coach successively."

Royce also said very modestly afterwards: "I feel that my performance last season was actually not as good as Lin. He can completely replace me as this year's German Footballer of the Year. But since I surpassed Lin in the vote, I will definitely work harder to prove that my German Footballer of the Year award is well deserved."

After the German Footballer, the 30-man roster of the European Golden Boys was also announced by the "Turin Sports Daily", and Lin Tian appeared on the roster without any surprise.

The European Golden Boy Award was founded by the Italian "Turin Sports" in 2003. It is voted by important European media to select the best young player of the year. It is also considered a "rite of passage" for young rookies.The selection objects must be young players under the age of 21 playing for European clubs.

The selection process is that "Turin Sports News" sends ballots to more than 30 European sports media every year. The highest score that can be cast for each ballot is 10 points. Finally, "Turin Sports News" is responsible for counting the scores and awarding the "Golden Ball".The European Golden Boy Award is the most authoritative selection award for young players in European football, and the winners represent the future of football.

Last year's Golden Boy Award was Gotze, Lin Tian's former teammate in Dortmund and a good friend.Therefore, when the list of nominees for this year's Golden Boy Award was announced, Gotze immediately congratulated Lin Tian on his social networking site, and also said that Lin Tian is definitely the biggest favorite, and he is the No. 1 choice for this year's European Golden Boy Award in his mind. He is looking forward to Lin Tian's final award.

In addition to Lin Tian, ​​other popular candidates include AC Milan striker Al Shalawi, Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Courtois and Malaga midfielder Isco. All four are 20-year-old young players, and they basically represent the world. The best four 20-year-old football players.

Shalawi came from the Genoa youth training and made his first-team debut in December 2008 when he was only 12 years and one month old.Shalawi has since been loaned to the Serie B team Padua and joined Milan with his outstanding performance. In September 16, Shalawi scored his first Serie A goal against Udinese.After Ibrahimovic moved from AC Milan to Paris Saint-Germain this summer, Shalawi slowly began to become the core of AC Milan's offense.

Courtois, Atletico Madrid has cultivated an excellent young goalkeeper after Asenjo and De Gea. Although the Belgian goalkeeper was loaned to Atletico Madrid by Chelsea, it can be regarded as Atletico Madrid's training. After all, Atletico Madrid gave him the absolute main position.Cech's successor, whom Chelsea intends to train, did not disappoint Simeone's trust in Atletico Madrid. Last season, the number of zero seals was doubled early, and the 11-game winning streak in the Europa League was inseparable from Courtois' high and low blocks.At the same time, if Courtois can finally be selected, he will be the first goalkeeper winner in the history of the Golden Boy Award.However, the goalkeeper will always suffer the most in the selection of individual awards, just like De Gea lost to Balotelli in the European Golden Boy Award in 2010.

Isco, born in Malaga and trained by Valencia, is considered to be the next David Silva.After Isco transferred to his hometown team last season, he quickly became the main force of Malaga, and scored 35 goals in 5 games, and helped Malaga finally beat Atletico Madrid to win No.4 in La Liga, which made Malaga qualified for a Champions League play-off.Real Madrid has also been paying attention to this Spanish star for a long time, and is expected to sign this future star with first-class dribbling skills and breakthrough ability next year.

After announcing the list of candidates for the European Golden Boy Award, "Turin Sports" will continue to reduce the players on the list until the final list of three candidates comes out. As for the final result of this year's European Golden Boy Award, it will be announced around Christmas.

In addition, the draw ceremony and awards ceremony for the UEFA Champions League and Europa League will also be held at the end of August. The reason for this is the end of August because the qualifying rounds for the UEFA Champions League and Europa League end at the end of August. Only then will the draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League and Europa League for the new season be held.

新赛季的欧冠抽签仪式将于摩纳哥当地时间8月30日17点45分在蒙特卡洛的格里马尔蒂会议中心举行。而欧联杯的抽签仪式则是在第二天的下午13点进行。

Thanks to last season's FA Cup champion Chelsea also qualified for the Champions League, so Liverpool participated in the Europa League play-offs in the new season as the FA Cup runner-up.

Therefore, if Liverpool successfully enters the UEFA Europa League, then Liverpool's club management will send representatives to attend the draw and award ceremony. Lin Tian, ​​as a candidate for the best striker and best player in the Europa League, will also be invited to attend.Therefore, Lin Tian will also go to Monaco with Liverpool's general manager Ian Ayre at that time.
