Chapter 548 Golden Globe Award and Golden Boy Award
Chapter 548 Golden Globe Award and Golden Boy Award
After the time entered December, the various selection activities in world football, especially European football, have also come to the time when the answers are revealed.
Although there is actually no suspense at all, the results of various awards have been spoiled by the media long before the awards ceremony.
But people are still waiting for those days to come, as if this is an indispensable part of an important ceremony.
This year's glory can no longer be called a rookie. With his outstanding performance in Werder Bremen for two seasons, especially his amazing performance in the Champions League last season, more and more people around the world have known him and started to pay attention to him.
In this year's various award selections, he has also entered the shortlist.
For example, in the selection of the World Footballer held by FIFA, Rong Guang entered the list of 30 candidates.
This is also the second Chinese male football player to enter the shortlist after Gong Lei.
When this news was released in October, the Chinese media were very excited and happy.
They also interviewed Gong Lei, who was selected as the No.1 candidate for the World Footballer of the Year in Chinese football. Gong Lei, who is already a coach and a TV commentator, also praised Rongguang, thinking that Rongguang's selection was more valuable than his original selection.
After all, Gong Lei was nominated by the head coach of the Tahiti national team because of his performance in the French Tahiti League.
In the entire world of football, whether it is the league or the national team, French Tahiti is a marginal area.What is the gold content of this nomination?
Even the Chinese fans themselves don't know that there is such a thing.
Of course, it was 1993 at that time, and consulting was not as developed as it is now.
At the same time, Gong Lei is very optimistic about Rongguang's performance in European football. As a senior, he wishes Rongguang to perform better in Europe and achieve better results.
However, he did not mention Rongguang and the Chinese team.That is a sensitive topic, and Gong Lei is also very aware of the internal environment of Chinese football. It may not be a good choice to come back to participate in the national team competition...
In addition to FIFA's World Footballer selection, there is also the European Golden Globe Award selected and awarded by "French Football" magazine.
This is considered to be an award that is far more professional and authoritative than the FIFA World Footballer of the Year award.
There are even many players who are proud of being able to win the European Ballon d'Or, but don't care much about the World Footballer...
Of course, despite the strong promotion of FIFA, the World Footballer has been recognized by more people in recent years.
But when it comes to gold content, everyone will still think of the European Golden Globes immediately.
Among the 50 candidates for the European Ballon d'Or, Rong Guang has also become the only Chinese player, and he is also the only Chinese player in the history of the European Ballon d'Or.
In addition, in the selection of the "World's Best Player" by the British "World Football" magazine, Rong Guang also entered the shortlist.As a player who plays football in Germany, being able to be voted into the shortlist by readers mainly in English-speaking regions, it has to be said that Rongguang's influence has become more and more global.
In addition to these, Rong Guang has also entered the shortlist for the European Golden Boy Award.
Although he has already won the European Golden Boy Award once, this does not prevent him from continuing to be shortlisted.Because the European Golden Boy Award does not stipulate that players who have won the award cannot be selected again.The only criterion for their selection is young players under the age of 21 who have played for European clubs.
Rong Guang is only 20 years old this year and meets the selection criteria, so naturally he can continue to be selected.
Last year, the opponent who competed with Rongguang was Rooney, but this time it was replaced by Messi who played for Barcelona.
But in fact... this is quite a suspenseful thing...
In the past year, Rongguang performed well in the game against Barcelona. In those two games, he was a radiant star and a person who can be on an equal footing with Ronaldinho.
And who is Messi?At the time, no one cared.
Later, in the World Youth Championship, Messi gained fame because of his outstanding performance at the end of La Liga. However, in the direct dialogue with Rong Guang, Rong Guang beat him with a hat-trick. Messi only scored a penalty. The gap between the two is really too big.
So since there is a rule in the European Golden Boy Awards that those who have not won the Golden Boy Award once cannot win it again, why can't Rongguang defend the title?
The Golden Boy Award will be announced on December [-]th.
Sure enough, Rong Guang defeated Messi and won the European Golden Boy Award.
The defending European Golden Boy Award surprised and unsurprised the media.
Not surprised is that Rong Guang's performance this year has been seen by everyone. Among players under the age of 21, no one can do better than him. In the first half of the year, he did not lead Werder Bremen to defend the league title. He won the Champions League Golden Boot for the first time in the Champions League.Xia Tian led the underrated Chinese youth team in the Netherlands to defeat many powerful enemies all the way and won the World Youth Championship.
After moving to Bayern Munich in the second half of the season, he quickly became the main core of Bayern Munich's giants.
Such a performance is fully worthy of the Golden Boy Award.
If he won the award for the first time, the English media will not be convinced.This time he won the award again, neither the Catalan media nor the Argentine media have anything to say.
I am surprised because Rongguang created a "first" in the short history of the European Golden Boy Award-the first player to defend the European Golden Boy Award.
Some media joked that it's a good thing that Rongguang will be 21 years old next year, otherwise wouldn't he win the European Golden Boy Award three times in a row?
Doesn't that seem like we have no one in Europe?
※※※
The European Golden Boy Award is chosen to be awarded before the game, so before the match against Bayern Munich at home against Mainz, Rong Guang took over the Golden Boy Award from the editor-in-chief of "Turin Sports".
Fifty thousand Bayern Munich fans witnessed the scene.
Then in the game, Rongguang assisted Lucas to score a goal, helping Bayern Munich beat Mainz 2:1 and won the victory.
It would have been wonderful.
But soon, Rong Guang's good mood of winning the Golden Boy Award disappeared.
Because "Gazzetta dello Sport" revealed in advance that AC Milan's Kaka has great hopes of winning the European Ballon d'Or!
Of course Rongguang knows that the European Golden Globe Award is better than the European Golden Boy Award. You must know that when the "Turin Sports News" first established the European Golden Globe Award, it was considered to be the European Golden Globe Award for under 21 years old...
It is clear at a glance who is good and who is bad.
From this point of view, his European Golden Boy Award is like the little brother of Kaka's European Golden Globe Award...
So frustrating!
※※※
When Deborah found out that Rong Guang was watching the European Golden Globe Awards Ceremony in front of the TV, she was surprised.
Because it was rumored in the media that Kaka will win the European Golden Globe, there is no suspense.
So Deborah didn't understand why Rong Guang paid attention to such unsuspecting things.
If it is said that Kaka has almost won the European Ballon d'Or, it is understandable for Rong Guang to want to see his jokes.
But Rongguang must already know that Kaka has won the European Ballon d'Or, so what's the point of watching the live broadcast?
Based on Deborah's understanding of Rongguang, she felt that it was impossible for Rongguang to come to accept Kaka's "humiliation".
So why does Rong Guang still watch Kaka in front of the TV?
At this time, the host's excited voice came from the TV: "The winner of the European Golden Globe Award in 2005 is... Kaka!"
There was thunderous applause.
Kaka got up from his seat. Wearing a black Armani suit, he was tall and straight, with a handsome face, red lips and white teeth, and a flowery smile.
He waved to those who applauded him, and with a shy smile on his face, he walked towards the rostrum.
Deborah glanced at the TV screen, and then noticed that Rong Guang, who was sitting on the sofa, had tightly clenched his fists and put them on his lap.
He cares a lot...
But why bother?
※※※
Kaka stepped onto the podium, then shook hands with UEFA President Johansson, who presented the award, and took a golden football trophy from him.
When Johansson handed him the trophy, he said congratulations.
Kaka also smiled and said thank you.
Then he turned around with the trophy in his hand, facing the audience.
The light from the seats on the second floor above was a bit dazzling, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
The pinnacle of a player's personal honor.
I came here.
But for some reason, when Kaka held this cool trophy in his hand, the guy in Munich was the first thing he thought of.
I wonder if he is watching TV at this time?
If you saw it, how would you feel?
Ah, what a pity, I can't see the expression on his face at this moment...
Envy or not?
Jealous or not?
Humph, I'm finally one step ahead of you!
Want to outdo me?
You have to work harder!
"Thank God, when I started playing football in Sao Paulo, all I dreamed of was to wear the Brazil national team jersey and play a Brazil national team game... I just asked God for a tree, but God gave me a forest..."
He held the Golden Globe in his hand and smiled happily.
※※※
"Crack." Rong Guang finally couldn't hold back, he got up and turned off the TV.
Then get up and go outside.
Deborah wondered, "Where are you going?"
"Training!" Rong Guang said, then opened the door and walked out without hesitation.
It took Deborah a long time to realize - he didn't get the ball, why did he go out to train?
※※※
Rong Guang ran in the dark boulevard, he didn't have a ball under his feet, but he still imitated the appearance of having a ball under his feet, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
keep running.
Breathing soon became heavy.
In fact, it is training, it is better to say it is to relieve the mood.
When he is in a bad mood, he will run. Running can make him forget bad things.
But this time, the effect doesn't seem to be very good.
When he was running, his mind was full of Kaka holding the Golden Globe trophy and smiling brightly. Under the golden light of the trophy, he was already a foolish face, but it turned out to be even more silly.
Really upset...
accurate!
accurate!
The more I think about it, the more unhappy I get! ! !
Oh shit!
I thought I had caught up, but when I didn't pay attention, I was thrown away again!
If he agreed to surpass him, he might be taken as a joke by Kaka, right?
No... I want to catch up!
Thinking of this, Rong Guang speeded up, no longer slowed down, and rushed forward like a madman...
