At the end of October, Tang Zheng was shortlisted for the European Golden Boy Award 40 selected by the "Torino Sports Newspaper", which to a large extent shows that his ability has been recognized by well-known European media, and many Dortmund fans are proud of it, if Tang Zheng becomes this year's European Golden Boy Award, then he will also become the first European Golden Boy Award winner in the history of Dortmund and the Bundesliga.

With Tang Zheng being selected as a 40-man candidate for the European Golden Boy Award, the attention of some German media has shifted, after all, the current Tang Zheng represents not only Dortmund, but the entire Bundesliga.

Although Tang Zheng has not been particularly good in the past 11 rounds of the league this season, he has also contributed a lot.

Especially in the two derbies and the just-concluded three consecutive league wins, he even overpowered many Bayern stars in the limelight.

At the same time, Tang Zheng is on the list, which has a lot to do with his excellent performance in the A-League and the Copa Libertadores this year.

He was impressive for River Plate in the first half of the year, scoring and assisting to a third consecutive league title and winning the Copa Libertadores title for River Plate after a 12-year absence.

The mainstream media in Europe believes that the Copa Libertadores is on the same level as the Champions League, so this aura has a great bonus effect on Tang Zheng.

At the same time, a number of well-known South American media broke the news that Tang Zheng of the South American Footballer of the Year selected by Uruguay's "El País" this year is very likely to be elected, which means that Tang Zheng is likely to become the first non-American player to be elected to this honor since the establishment of the South American Footballer.

However, some American media have denied this rumor, after all, Tang Zheng has only been in the first half of the Liga and the Copa Libertadores, and his transfer to the Bundesliga in the second half of the year is equivalent to being in a blank state during this time, and the chance of being elected is not great.

However, the well-known Argentine media "Clarion" insists that Tang Zheng will make history, whether it is the European Golden Boy Award selected during this Christmas or the South American Footballer of the Year selected early next year, Tang Zheng is the best choice.

In this regard, "Clarion" also listed a lot of evidence, the South American footballer of the year who was elected in the past non-major years was because of the outstanding performance of the Copa Libertadores, so they think that Tang Zheng has a very good chance of being elected.

As for the European Golden Boy Award, the basis and persuasiveness of the "Clarion Newspaper" is greater, Tang Zheng has not lost the first game for Dortmund, and the two games that he lost have nothing to do with him, one is gone, and the other is suspended.

In addition, the outstanding performance of the national derby and the Ruhr derby helped Dortmund win four points, and during the injury of vice-captain Kyle and the suspension of Shahin, Tang Zheng, who returned from the ban, helped Dortmund win four consecutive victories with his outstanding performance, not only ranking sixth in the league, but also entering the quarterfinals of the German Cup.

Looking at the entire 40-man shortlist, only AC Milan's Pato, Fiorentina's Jovetic and Inter Milan's Balotelli can be compared.

If you follow the performance and glory of the whole 2009, Tang Zheng will definitely win.

There has been a lot of discussion about Tang Zheng's shortlisting for the European Golden Boy Award, which is gradually attracting attention in Europe, but Tang Zheng, as a party concerned, has been training and practicing day after day.

He occasionally chatted with Zhao Lina on the phone or text messages in Frankfurt to relax.

If he has time, he will also learn English with He Mengdi, who is fluent in many Chinese.

I don't know if he is proficient in Portuguese and German continuously, Tang Zheng is very fast in learning English, so there are already players in the Dortmund team who call Tang Zheng a language geek.

I learned German in just one month, and in two months I can speak authentic German seamlessly, and now I can occasionally speak a few words of English.

It's really more popular than people!

For Barrios in particular, he seems to have taken 100,000 critical damage, and he came to Dortmund before Tang Zheng, and it is still difficult for him to communicate with his teammates in German......

In this regard, Tang Zheng smiled and said nothing.

Because a lot of things are not entirely attributable to talent, hard work also accounts for a large part of the reason.

In order to integrate into the team as soon as possible, in addition to two hours of German lessons every day, Tang Zheng would spend all the available time watching German TV series, movies and listening to German radio, and reciting words before going to bed and after waking up......

Success, not so easy.

"Congratulations, Don!"

Tang Zheng, who had just changed into a training shirt in the locker room of the training center, heard Hummels's 'congratulations', so he asked suspiciously: "Congratulations to me?"

"Don't you know?"

Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders: "I train every day, what can I know?"

After that, he added: "Is the media talking nonsense again?" Huh...... If the media talks nonsense, it won't congratulate me, what's the matter?"

Hummels gave Tang Zheng a roll of his eyes, then patted Schmelzer on the shoulder and gave him a look, meaning for him to speak.

Schmelzer understood what Hummels meant, rubbed his hands, and said with a serious face: "Yesterday, the official website of the Turin Sports newspaper announced the list of forty candidates for this year's European Golden Boy Award, and you were among them. ”

"What?" Tang Zheng looked surprised: "I was selected for the European Golden Globe Award forty-man list?"

After hearing this, Hummels subconsciously gave Tang Zheng a look: "It's the European Golden Boy Award! It's not the European Golden Ball Award! It's a young player under the age of 21 who plays for a European club!"

"I just said, how could I be selected for the European Golden Globe Award, it scared me to death. Tang Zheng gave an expression that was exactly like this, and then after thinking about it, he glanced at Hummels meaningfully and grinned: "Ma'er, you're finished!"

"Help!"

Immediately there was a burst of Hummels screams in the locker room.

"Say, do you dare to destroy my brother's hairstyle?"

"Big brother, ponies don't dare, don't dare anymore!"

……

When he went home in the evening, Tang Zheng deliberately googled the 'European Golden Boy Award' and learned that he was really selected for the forty-man list

He looked at the other 39 candidates, except for the three Bayern who were more familiar with the famous Pato and Pastore, the other shortlisted players basically did not hear of it.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that he has been focusing on training all year round.

Then he read a lot of analysis, from "Milan Sports Newspaper", "Torino Sports Newspaper" to "Bild" and "Kicker", their analysis Tang Zheng still agrees.

However, the analysis also believes that Tang Zheng has a high chance of not being elected, he played in the first half of this year, and his results are not very convincing in the eyes of a large number of European media.

This is followed by the six winners of Torino Sport since its inception, with the exception of Cesc Fabregas, who is in the same position, the other five are all scoring attacking players.

So whether it's Pato or Jovetic, there is a good chance that he will be selected for this year's European Golden Boy Award.

But Tang Zheng doesn't want to give up, this is the first time he has a chance to compete for personal glory since he landed in Europe, and now there is still a month and a half before the final result of the selection, which means that he still has enough time to prove to all the media with voting rights that he is currently the best young player under the age of 21 in Europe!

Borussia Dortmund have come home to Hertha Berlin in the league and Jurgen Klopp's coaching staff have focused on their next big opponents, Werder Bremen, who are currently third in the league on goal difference.

They beat Bayern Munich 5-2 at the Allianz Arena last season, and if it weren't for their lack of defensive prowess, it is estimated that last season's league title would have been Werder Bremen.

"Don, you have to pay attention to the number 11 of Werder Bremen, his imaginative passing at the edge of the box is unstoppable. ”

In the multi-purpose room of the hotel in Bremen, Klopp told Tang Zheng rigorously.

Tomorrow's league game at Weser Stadium, Tang Zheng will face Mesut Ozil.

At just 21 years old, Mesut Ozil was the second-best assist man in the Bundesliga last season and a veritable midfield core for Werder Bremen, so Klopp focused on it before the game.

During the preparation period, Tang Zheng had seen the highlights of Ozil's game and was a very troublesome opponent, so he nodded solemnly.

Although Shaheen has returned from the league ban, Klopp did not include him in the starting line-up due to the impact of his last four suspensions, and Tang Zheng was joined by defensive midfielder Sven Bender.

Still, Klopp wasn't too reassured.

Tang Zheng has performed well in attack, as well as in defense, which is why Klopp focused on telling Tang Zheng to help defend Mesut Ozil.

On the day of the game, the Weser Stadium, which can accommodate more than 40,000 people, was packed.

As far as the eye can see, there is a vast sea of green.

Tang Zheng glanced meaningfully at the baby-faced Ozil in the handshake between the players between the two sides, but what impressed him was the distinctive goldfish eyes, which were bright.

There is no doubt that his goal in this game is to beat the German international!

It happened that Ozil also looked up at Tang Zheng, who was half a head taller than him, and he smiled politely, but he was holding back a lot of strength in his heart.

As early as before the start of the league, many media compared Dortmund's Tang Zheng with Werder Bremen's Mesut and Marin.

Because Marin's position is a winger, he was helplessly ignored by the media.

The German international Mesut Ozil, who plays as a striker, has become the object of comparison for Tang Zheng, and the local media in Bremen found that Tang Zheng has not found anything comparable to Ozil except for being taller, more handsome, and more defensive.

Werder Bremen are third in the league this season under Mesut Ozil, and if he is more capable of scoring individually, not only will the team rise in the rankings, but he will also become one of the top strikers in Europe.

The Dortmund media naturally do not agree with the Bremen media, in their minds Tang Zheng is very good, can attack and defend, much more comprehensive than Ozil.

The key is that Tang Zheng is more handsome than Ozil!

Handsome?

Can it be eaten as a meal?

Can you win?

Thinking of the relevant reports of the local media in Dortmund, Ozil brushed the hair that fell from his forehead and muttered dissatisfied.
