Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter 90 European Golden Boy Award (first guarantee)

When Chen Yingxiong was flying back to Naples from Lyon, he was molested by his teammates.

When they saw Chen Yingxiong, they shouted: "Antonella Canali! Antonella Canali! Antonella Canali!"

This woman publicly said before the game that if Naples can return from an away win, she will be Chen Yingxiong's trophy and let her handle it. Think about it, a beautiful woman lying in bed at your disposal... What a **** scene!

They are all making fun of it.

"Hey, hero, what do you plan to do with your spoils?" another teammate asked.

Chen Yingxiong shook his head: "I didn't think about it!"

There was a burst of laughter in the cabin.

He really didn't think about it. When he heard the news before the game, he was quite shocked. But he always feels that this can't be true, because...well, even if foreign girls open up, they can't open up to this point, right?

Now that Naples has really won the ball, then the beauty who is a household name in the province of Naples will really fulfill her promise and be his trophy at his disposal?

To be honest, when he thinks of this, Chen Yingxiong is still a little looking forward to...

After all, the other party is a big beauty!

Although Chen Yingxiong doesn't watch TV often, this Canali is really very popular in the Naples area. There are advertising posters endorsed by her on the street, and her **** photos are often featured in magazines and newspapers, which is quite a lot of Naples. The new goddess in people's minds.

Now that this goddess has become her own trophy, I really think it can make people have a physiological reaction...

After getting off the plane, Chen Yingxiong received a call, but it was not from the goddess of Naples, but from his agent Dracula.

"Tell you good news, hero."

"What good news? Did you sign another endorsement for me?"

"No, this time it has nothing to do with endorsements, but with awards."

"I won the award? It's impossible, neither the World Footballer nor the European Ballon d'Or has my share." Chen Yingxiong was a little surprised.

Just after the end of the UEFA Champions League, the major awards of world football have been released, and various awards activities have appeared in a concentrated manner. This is the top event of world football in December.

In the World Footballer of the Year award, Chen Yingxiong once entered the list of fifty candidates, but in the end he was still shaved off. After all, besides being young and scoring goals, he has no other achievements worth showing off, even a championship. No, it is not easy to be in the top 50 candidates.

However, experts in world football are very optimistic about Chen Yingxiong's future. As long as he can continue this development curve, he will definitely stand on that stage in the future.

After all, a striker who can score is always easier to win prizes than other positions. In a non-competition year, as long as a forward scores enough goals, he can also win the World Footballer, even if you have never won a championship... In fact, even in the World Cup year, as long as you can score, you will be famous enough, even if You did not win the World Cup, which is enough for you to win the Golden Globe.

In the selection of the world's footballers, Chen Yingxiong was only shortlisted in the top fifty. In the selection of the European Golden Globe Awards, he did enter the top 20, but he still missed this long-established award because of a lack of persuasive performance. The difference in the qualifying rankings is caused by the different selection mechanisms of the two awards.

The World Player of Football is elected by the head coaches and captains of national teams from all over the world. However, due to the different levels of football development in each country, their expertise is also uneven. Head coaches and captains of strong European teams obviously have more say in who is the best in world football, but what professional qualities do you expect from coaches of national teams like Tonga? It can only vote for fame. The most fiercely hyped by the media, their most familiar name is naturally the best in the world. Chen Yingxiong is still only an unknown person in the world football. Many people have never heard of his name, so he didn't even make the top 20 in the selection of World Footballer.

The European Ballon d'Or was voted by senior sports media reporters from the 52 UEFA member states and the French "Team" magazine. As a football journalist, the professionalism is of course better than those of national team coaches and captains. They are much higher, and the selection criteria are by no means just fame. They analyzed it from a professional perspective. In their eyes, Chen Yingxiong obviously has more potential for development, so he ranked in the top 20. But it only has potential, so it is only in the top 20.

"It's not the World Footballer, nor the European Golden Globe Award, but... the European Golden Boy Award."

Chen Yingxiong was stunned for a moment and patted his forehead. He remembered that this was an award that once made him resent a lot.

The European Golden Boy Award is only awarded to players aged 21 and below who play for European clubs. Founded in 2003 by Torino Sport, it sends votes to more than 30 well-known European sports media every year. The European Golden Boy Award is the most authoritative award for young players in European football. The winner can even be called the "Young Footballer" and represents the future of football. Almost all of the first five elected players have grown into top-notch players and even superstars in today's world football.

Van der Vaart, Rooney, Messi, Fabregas, Aguero, Anderson are all past winners.

But at the mention of the European Golden Boy Award, Chen Yingxiong was furious.

why?

Just because he should have won the prize last year, not Manchester United’s Brazilian midfielder Anderson...

His performance in the first half of last year was simply brilliant. He not only helped Zenit St. Petersburg win the UEFA Cup, but also became the best scorer since the UEFA Cup reform. At the same time, he won the Russian Premier League in only eleven rounds of the league. The best scorer, this kind of performance, everyone thinks that the 2008 European Golden Boy Award is none other than him.

He didn't think that his performance fell sharply after his transfer to Naples in the second half of the year. He was troubled by the new environment and new tactics, and his performance was not as expected.

This has also greatly reduced his image in the eyes of the judges. Some media even believe that Chen Yingxiong is a meteor who can dominate the king and dominate for a while in the low-level league, and he has reached the top league in Europe. I'm afraid it will be too weak.

Therefore, the European Golden Boy Award was given to Manchester United's Anderson.

But Anderson's performance is far worse than Chen Yingxiong, he just joined Manchester United at a high price, attracting a lot of people's attention.

So this made Chen Yingxiong very upset. He felt that even if he only relied on his performance in the first half to win the European Golden Boy Award, the Golden Boy Award, young players, the ups and downs of performance are understandable, it is normal, and it is necessary to demand such strict performance throughout the year. ?

He is very aware of the weight of the European Golden Boy Award. Any player who wins this award will be on the road in the future. He also wants to use an award to prove his ability, to show off...

But it is a pity that he missed this award last year.

This year, it was finally given to him. Because his performance is beyond negligible-he broke out in the first half of the season and scored 21 goals in the second half of the season, helping Naples qualify for the Champions League while also winning the top scorer in Serie A, which he defeated But Ibrahimovic is such a long-established superstar!

In the second half of the year, although his performance was slightly worse than the craziness of the first half, he was still outstanding-now he is still number one in the Champions League scorer list and second in the Serie A scorer list. His so-called "slightly close" is compared with his own craziness in the first half of the year. Among his peers in European football, he is still a leader.

Throughout the year of outstanding performance, he successfully won the European Golden Boy Award selected by more than 30 senior European sports media.

※※※

Won the European Golden Boy Award, although it is long overdue, but...this is good news after all.

After hanging up Dracula's call, Chen Yingxiong thought.

The phone rang again.

This time it is an unfamiliar number.

The sound after picking up is quite nice.

"Hello, my hero."

Chen Yingxiong was stunned for a moment, who was such a bold name?

"Uh, I'm sorry I don't have your name, who are you?"

"I am your trophy, sweetheart!"

The voice was so sweet that the walking Chen Yingxiong's knees softened and he almost staggered...

Chen Yingxiong regained his footing in the strange eyes of his teammates. He knew who the caller was.

There was a happy laugh over there: "Hahaha! Do you know who I am now, hero?"

The voice has returned to normal. It seems that he was deliberately teasing him just now...

"Hello, it's an honor to meet you, Miss Canali."

"Congratulations on winning the European Golden Boy Award, hero!"

Chen Yingxiong was a little surprised: "Has it been reported in the media?" He wondered whether to buy a newspaper and see how the media evaluated him for winning the European Golden Boy Award.

Canali said: "There is no news in the media, but I think I am happy. As for how I know... You know, I have always been interested in you. I happen to have friends in the media, so... …"

Chen Yingxiong understood that this was inquired from people who knew the inside story in advance.

"So to congratulate you on winning the European Golden Boy Award, should we celebrate together?"

coming!

Chen Yingxiong's heart jumped. He was still wondering whether the other party would perform what she said before, but he didn't expect the other party to be so proactive.

This made him somewhat wonder what to do.

Seeing that Chen Yingxiong did not answer, Canali chuckled lightly: "I have always heard that the hero is a master of love, why is it different from what I have heard?"

This is a radical approach, but it is quite effective. Because Chen Yingxiong thought to himself that he was just a woman, no matter how powerful he was, he would just eat oneself. What is there to be afraid of? And having said that, it's not always certain who eats who...

"Just kidding, I'm just uh... tell me the time."

Chen Yingxiong wouldn't be so stupid if there is a girl who doesn't make it. Since the other party took the initiative to invite, there is absolutely no reason for him to shrink his eggs.
