"Torino Sport" is a well-known football newspaper from Italy, founded in 1945.It is a time-honored name in Italian football.

"Torino Sport", as the name suggests, just by looking at its newspaper name, you can know that its headquarters is located in Turin, and in fact it is true. This newspaper supports Juventus and Torino in Turin, 70.00% The reports are all about these two teams.

In contrast, "Turin Sports News" is more inclined to the Turin team, because the founder of the newspaper, Renato Casalbore (Renato Casalbore), was killed in a plane crash in 1949. Part of that crash.

However, in recent years, the results of the Turin team have been poor, and although Juventus has experienced the "Phonegate incident" and is in the process of reconstruction and revival, it is undeniable that the Bianconeri are still a banner of Italian football, so " Turin Sports News is more focused on Juventus. In Italy, this newspaper is recognized as Juventus's "team newspaper".

Although it is a time-honored brand with a good reputation, in the field of sports newspapers, "Torino Sport" is relatively small, its authority is not high, its xenophobia is quite serious, and there are many false reports.

It can be said that before the new century, this newspaper did not have a very high audience rate in Italy, let alone in Europe.

However, in 2003, this newspaper was very popular. The selection of the "European Golden Boy Award" founded by it can be said to have made the limelight in European football, and this limelight, with the annual "Golden Boy Award" The "Children's Award" selection is also eye-catching.

"European Golden Boy Award" is regarded as the most authoritative individual award for young players in European football. It was founded by "Turin Sports News" in 2003. It is objective, fair and authoritative. The sports media send out ballots, and each ballot can be cast with a maximum score of 30 points. In the end, the "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. The selection objects must be young players under the age of 21 who play for European clubs, because it includes all young players under the age of 21 in the whole of Europe, and will be awarded " Golden Ball", the winner can be called "European Youth Footballer".

This is also considered a "rite of passage" for young rookies, representing the future of football.

Previously, the European Golden Boy Award has been held five times, which means that five European Golden Boys have been born, and these five former Golden Boys are currently the absolute main force of various clubs, and some have even become the backbone of the team , an absolute star.

The winner of the first Golden Boy Award is Rafael van der Vaart from the Netherlands, and now he is the absolute main force of the Bernabeu; the second winner is Wayne Rooney, "Little Chubby" has become the striker of the Red Devils under Ferguson's training The indispensable sharp knife in the world; the third winner is Leo Messi, the strength of the Argentine little flea is beyond doubt, and now it is very popular in La Liga, and it can be called the darling of the Nou Camp; the fourth and The fifth winners are Cesc Fabregas and Aguero. The former is now the captain of the Premier League giants Arsenal, while the latter is the leading shooter at the Calderon Stadium.

Each of these names is now the hottest existence in European football. To a certain extent, the Golden Boy Award is not only an affirmation of them, but they are also worthy of the honor of the best young players.

It is precisely because of the popularity of these young players that the honor of "European Golden Boy Award" is even more heavy.

There is a perception in European football that not winning the European Golden Boy Award does not mean that you will not grow into a superstar in the future, but if you win the Golden Boy Award, then you are only one step away from being a superstar ——Because you are already standing on the threshold of a superstar, the best young player in Europe, this is enough to explain everything!
At this time, during the selection period of the European Golden Boy Awards, the "Turin Sports News" also found Molina on the phone at this time. It is self-evident what this means.

.....................................................................................................................

Because the next round of the league will start on January 1th, and the team will regroup on the 4nd, which means that Fan Bizhuang can stay in London for the few days after Christmas— —in fact, he could have stayed longer in London if he wanted to.

The club has already contacted him by phone and informed him that the club's appeal to the Arbitration Committee of La Liga has not been passed. That is to say, the red card that was unjustly received in the last round of the league cannot be removed, and he can only sit in the next round. At home or in the stands.

After the start of this season, Fan Bizhuang's attendance rate is extremely high. Both fronts are dragging the team forward as much as possible. Under such circumstances, it is rare to have a "rest" opportunity. Greene said boldly that he could go to the team to report later, which almost implicitly told him that he could extend his vacation.

Although he can stay outside for a while, Fan Bizhuang does not plan to stay in England for a long time. After all, he is a professional player. The training has to persist for a long time. Fan Bizhuang decided to return to Spain on the 2nd, the day after the New Year.

This naturally aroused Felisa's dissatisfaction. Normally in London, only her aunt Bella was with her, while Fan Bizhuang was far away in a small seaside town. The two of them didn't spend much time together, and now they finally had more time. Tired of being together, Fan Bizhuang is still worried about training, and the little girl is naturally upset.

However, Felisa is also a very considerate girl, and she also knows Fan Bizhuang's love for football, so she "coerced" Fan Bizhuang to agree to a series of unfair treaties, and promised that she would be happy in London these days. After traveling around the city with her, he agreed to leave "early".

After Christmas Eve, the three of Fan Bizhuang spent a happy Christmas in London, and on the second day, they went to the playground again, that is, in the playground, Fan Bizhuang received a message from his agent, Molina's phone call.

"We are at the airport and will board the plane in about half an hour. We will go back to Spain as quickly as possible."

This was the opening speech from the phone, and Molina's first sentence stunned Fan Bizhuang for a moment.

At this time, shouldn't Molina be dealing with some business cooperation matters in China? Why did he suddenly choose to return to Spain?Even if you want to spend the holidays with your daughter and sister, it's not right. Christmas has passed, and they are in England at the moment, so what the hell is going back to Spain?

Fan Bizhuang reminded suspiciously: "Mr. Contrares, I'm in London now..."

"I know you're in London!"

Molina's tone was a little hasty, even faintly excited, which made Fan Bizhuang feel even more weird.Before he had time to ask more questions, Molina continued to speak in a high-pitched voice.

"Gazzetta dello Sport called your other number but couldn't get through and found me...I think you may have turned off the 'public' phone while you were on vacation...and sure enough...they Good news, so, Fan, hurry back to Spain as soon as possible!"

"Wait, "Torino Sport"? What is this? Also, why are they looking for me? By the way, let me go back to Spain now? Stop messing around, I'm on vacation..." Fan Bizhuang continued to be puzzled, Then he complained again, "...Mr. Contrares, don't you see that I am living a happy life and want to cause me some trouble? Don't you know what kind of temper your daughter is? Right now If I dare to leave, do you believe that I will be tossed into a mess when I come back?"

"..."

Molina was speechless for a while. Thinking about it, it was really possible. With Felisa's eccentric character, if something went wrong, it was really possible to make Fan Bizhuang very difficult.After a pause, Molina's voice continued on the phone.

"Then take her with you! Let her go back to Spain with you!"

"As for the "Turin Sports News"? Fan, you must have forgotten, you were shortlisted for this year's 'European Golden Boy Award' before, because your rise time is relatively short, plus the recent period Time troubles, so we didn't pay much attention, but unexpectedly...they called! Do you know what that means?"

"Yes! That's right, you are going to win the Golden Boy Award! You will become the sixth winner of the European Golden Boy Award! You will become the European Youth Footballer!"

The voice of Molina over there has gone up a level again, and it can no longer be described as high-pitched. He almost used the way of roaring to convey these words!

This shows how excited and excited Molina is at the moment.

Although this award is not set up and founded by UEFA or FIFA, it is extremely far-reaching in terms of credibility and influence.

There are so many young players under the age of 21 in Europe, and being able to beat everyone and win this award is a huge affirmation in itself.

Not to mention that he will definitely become a world superstar in the future and be able to reach the top of the world No. 1, but at least in this age group, it means that the winner is the "World No. 1"!
Fan Bizhuang was also stunned by the news. After hanging up the phone, he was still a little dizzy. It was as if he bought a lottery ticket for no reason, and got hit by a big prize for no reason.

"Uncle Fan, are you okay?"

Felica, who was holding two ice creams in her hands, looked a little distraught after seeing Fan Bizhuang answering the phone, and asked with a little worry. Beside her, Bella, who was also holding an ice cream, was also paying attention. looking at him.

"It's okay, it's Mr. Contrales' call."

Fan Bizhuang shook his head, then smiled wryly, "I don't think I can stay in London any longer. Contrales called and asked me to go back to Spain as soon as possible, preferably today."

"Huh? Are you in such a hurry?"

A trace of sadness flashed across Felica's face, and then quickly disappeared. Since she knew it was her father calling, it meant that there must be something very important, and she would not get emotional at this time, "Yes What's going on?"

"There is indeed one... well, it should be considered a very important matter. I am not very clear about it."

Fan Bizhuang scratched the bridge of Felica's nose with his hand, and said with a smile, "But it's okay, although I can't accompany you in London, but I can accompany you in the small town."

"Let's go back together!"

Felisa froze for a moment, then raised her arms and cheered.

Seeing Felica's excited appearance, Fan Bizhuang also smiled contentedly.

And Bella also showed a faint smile on her face. She was very smart and thought about it, then took out the phone from her bag.

"Airline? We need to book three tickets to Spain...yes, the sooner the better!"
