With the penultimate round of league games before the winter break coming to an end, the attention of the mainstream European media is focused on the best of the year, but since this is not a major year, the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year are almost no suspense, so most of the attention has shifted to the European Golden Boy award at the end of this year.

The German media believes that Dortmund's great improvement this season is directly related to Tang Zheng, and his game statistics also reflect the relative role, which is the biggest contributor to Dortmund's entry into the top four of the Bundesliga.

Secondly, the gold content of the championship of the Arab League and the Copa Libertadores is there, although the selection scope of the European Golden Boy Award is young players under the age of 21 who play for European clubs, but you can't turn a blind eye to the two heavy championships, right?

In particular, the Copa Libertadores champion, the winner of the same level as the European Champions League, is the top team that can directly qualify for the semi-finals of the Club World Cup like the Champions League champion Barcelona.

And every year's Club World Cup final is the Champions League champion and the Copa Libertadores champion, which fully shows that there is not much difference in strength between the two, and it can also show that Tang Zheng, who led River Plate to win the double, has enough strength.

It doesn't matter if you don't play in the Champions League group stage and Europa League group stage this season, the key is to have a championship halo!

As the Argentine media "Clarion" said, Tang Zheng is the biggest favorite for South American footballer of the year, and he is the best player in the whole of South America in the past year.

Could it be that none of the Americas' senior players are as good as the European under-21 players?

This hat is really very big, if Tang Zheng really did not win the European Golden Boy Award, then there will definitely be no less doubts, especially the American media.

But the advantage of Pato, the Brazilian golden boy, is also obvious, he must have much greater exposure than Tang Zheng when he can play in a big club, and the European Golden Boy Award is selected by the Italian media, so they naturally prefer the honor to stay in Italy, and Pato's performance this year is really good.

It's just that the premise of this advantage is that Tang Zheng's performance in the first half of this year was completely ignored, but the problem is that the honor Tang Zheng has won is difficult for people to give up, which makes it difficult for the media with voting rights to choose now.

Whoever chooses is a great pity for the other.

In fact, in the end, it is one of them who does not have an overwhelming advantage.

At the same time, Jovetic in Florence looked very weak, and he was also one of the most vocal European golden boys, but with detailed analysis by the media, he found himself being ignored......

The German, Argentine, and Chinese media are all building momentum for Tang.

Especially the German media and the Chinese media, the former because Tang Zheng is indeed the best young player in this age group since he entered the Bundesliga, even if he is not evaluated according to age in the Bundesliga, he can still enter the top five.

Coupled with the fact that the past six European golden boys have all failed to participate in the Bundesliga players, the German media is very unbalanced, you must know that the Bundesliga is the league with the most opportunities for young players to get training in the five major European leagues, and it is extremely difficult to ensure the growth of young players without losing their enjoyment.

If Tang Zheng can win the European Golden Boy Award, it will prove that the Bundesliga is a fertile ground for developing future top players.

During this period of time, authoritative German media such as "Bild", "Kicker", and "Transfer Market" continued to help Tang Zheng build momentum and increase his exposure.

The purpose of the Chinese media can be said to be the simplest, because once Tang Zheng is elected to the European Golden Boy Award, he will become the most important individual award for Chinese players in Europe.

So when the shortlist of 40 candidates for the European Golden Boy Award came out more than a month ago, the Chinese media began to hype.

At that time, many fans did not know what the European Golden Boy Award was, so they had to turn to Baidu and Google.

With the title of Europe's best player under 21, the Chinese media are even more keen on hype, especially since Tang Zheng's performance throughout 2009 was indeed amazing.

River Plate coach Simeone, who is preparing for the Club World Cup, strongly supported his disciples: "Don is not only the best player under 21 in Europe, but also the best player under 21 in the world, as long as he is given enough time to grow, I believe he can even become the best in the world!"

Sanchez, who currently plays for Udinese, openly supported Tang Zheng in an interview with Torino Sport: "Pato is a strong opponent, but I can only say that Tang is stronger, there is no doubt about it......! Only the players who played with him knew. ”

Falcao, who has eaten a lot of 'Tang cakes', told the Portuguese media: "If Don is not elected, it will be shady!"

In addition, Brazilian legend Ronaldo unexpectedly helped Tang Zheng speak when he was interviewed by "Globo Sports" in Brazil: "Don is a very capable young player, so I once tried to suggest Florentino to sign him, but unfortunately he ended up choosing Dortmund......"

It wasn't until this time that many media knew why Real Madrid would offer Tang Zheng in the first place, it turned out to be ...... It was Ronaldo's recommendation.

Suddenly, Tang Zheng's exposure skyrocketed.

In anticipation, the results of the 2009 European Golden Boy Award were finally announced.

The Torino Sport newspaper prominently featured the results on their official website: "The new European Golden Boy – the 'Tang' from China!"

Under the eye-catching headline, there are two photos, one of which is chanting in a yellow and black Dortmund shirt, and the other is a kneeling celebration in a white and red shirt of River Plate.

Judging from these two photos, Tang Zheng's ability to win the European Golden Boy Award is directly related to his outstanding performance in River Plate in the first half of this year.

If selected from this perspective, Tang Zheng is indisputable.

The German media and the Chinese media immediately reprinted the news published in the Turin Sports newspaper.

Not long after the results came out, Paulo Delabao, editor-in-chief of Torino Sport, dialed Tang Zheng's mobile phone.

On the phone, editor-in-chief Paulo de la Pao immediately congratulated Tang Zheng, and then expressed his hope that Tang Zheng would be able to accept an exclusive interview with Torino Sports Newspaper.

For this kind of thing, Tang Zheng naturally will not refuse, anyway, "Turin Sports Newspaper" will send the 'trophy' over tomorrow, and then he only needs to spare about two hours for an exclusive interview.

Just half a minute after hanging up Paul Delabao's phone, Xu Wei from "Sports Weekly" made a phone call.

followed by agent Rodrigo, Chen Jia.

To his surprise, Simone, a mentor who rarely took the initiative to call, also made a phone call, and compared with the flickering of the previous phone calls, he paid special attention to his mentor's call.

"Don, congratulations, you're the best young player in Europe right now. ”

"Hey...... It's all up to you, sir. Tang Zheng habitually patted his ass.

"Not bad, not bad. Speaking of this, Simeone suddenly raised his voice and said loudly, "Don!!"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Tang Zheng sat up straight, knowing that Simone would have something very important to say next.

"I want you to take a longer view, the best young players in Europe are not the end for you, because from today on...... You're the best of your age, the best!, and you're the target of some of the most talented young players in the world, and what you need to do is keep that advantage and not be like Van der Vaart, Cesc Fabregas...... Huh, you know?"

"I know!" Tang Zheng said very seriously.

"I believe in my vision, because you have all the advantages to be the best player in the world!Come on!!" Simeone didn't wait for Tang Zheng to reply, and hung up the phone directly.

Tang Zheng shook his head while holding his phone, he knew that his mentor Simone didn't want him to worry.

Losing Falcao, Bonanot and River Plate in quick succession this summer has not had a good time in the spring league that just ended, finishing second from bottom, a huge contrast to this summer's double.

"Head, this is what I owe you. ”

Looking at the faint snowflakes floating outside the window, Tang Zheng secretly swore an oath.

The next day, the big report in the mainstream European media was not the upcoming World Footballer of the Year, but the winner of the European Golden Boy Award that was newly released in the Torino Sports newspaper at around 7 o'clock last night.

The German media is the most enthusiastic in the European media, as it is the first European golden boy in the history of the Bundesliga.

Not to mention China, which is thousands of miles away, is overwhelming propaganda, for fear that others will not know that the player who has just won the European Golden Boy Award is a native Chinese.

In the morning of the same day, Tang Zheng, who came to the training center for training, was also congratulated and congratulated by his teammates.

Even sports director Zolke and CEO Wakz rushed over to congratulate Tang Zheng.

In addition, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of media gathering outside the training ground.

They are all preparing to interview the winners of the Golden Boy Award in the new European state.

Most of them are Chinese media.

Chinese football has always given people a bad impression, and even the historic entry into the World Cup in 2002 has not attracted any attention.

Therefore, for a long time, the Chinese media and Chinese fans have been very inferior in football.

Especially after last year's four-age group rout, Chinese fans can't hold their heads up in the atmosphere of Asian football.

Now, Tang Zheng has won the European Golden Boy Award, which symbolizes the best European youth player, which undoubtedly proves that there is still a Chinese player who can win it when Chinese football is at its lowest point.

And the European Golden Boy Award represents that this player has a very high growth talent, like the past European Golden Boy Award winners Rooney, Messi, Cesc Fabregas and other players, they are now all mixed up, especially the 2005 European Golden Boy Award winner Messi, he helped Barcelona win the treble last season, and he won the European Golden Ball Award selected by "French Football" in early December......

Then there's the World Footballer of the Year, the best player in world football.

The thought of this possibility has sent both the Chinese media and Chinese fans into a frenzy. (To be continued.) )
