Chapter 0050 Today's Golden Boy, Tomorrow's Golden Ball?
Tang Zheng won the European Golden Boy Award, and if there are supporters, there will naturally be doubters. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The supporters led by the German, Chinese and Argentine media competed fiercely on the Internet with the skeptics formed by the Milan Sport newspaper and the Roma Sport newspaper, with the former believing that Tang Zheng deserved his name, and the latter believing that Tang Zheng, who did not have a European appearance, was not convincing to win the award.
What made it even more difficult for "Milan Sports Newspaper" to accept was the final selection score, Tang Zheng scored 147 points, and Pato scored 142 points.
The difference between the two is not obvious, half of a 10 vote, that is to say, an authoritative media that did not vote 10 for Tang Zheng and Pato to vote for one of them, then the other will lose the European Golden Boy Award.
With such a close rating result, how can the "Milan Sports Newspaper" that supports Pato be convinced?
Especially with the departure of Kaka and Ibrahimovic from Serie A this summer, the taste of Serie A's stars has dropped to an all-time low.
Of course, the expressions of "Milan Sport" and "Roma Sport" in this regard are relatively tactful, after all, the departure of Kaka and Ibrahimovic is directly related to the loneliness of Serie A, in other words, Serie A is no longer attractive.
At a time when two media outlets were making strong comments on Tang Zheng's selection for the European Golden Boy Award, Tang Zheng, accompanied by sporting director Zorke and manager Jurgen Klopp, received the trophy symbolizing the European Golden Boy Award from Paulo Delabao, editor-in-chief of the Turin Sports Newspaper, at the press center of the Westphalun Stadium - a golden ball similar to that of the Ballon d'Or winner.
The reporter who came to the Westphalia LUN press center immediately pressed the shutter in his hand.
The sound of "click", "click", and "click" kept sounding, and the flash flashed frequently in the room.
Of all the media present, the Chinese media were the craziest, and they were the most numerous.
Their eyes were full of blazing light, looking at Tang Zheng who was holding the Golden Boy Award trophy, and they even began to look forward to a possible scene in the future.
European Golden Globe Awards!
World Footballer of the Year!
Tang Zheng, who was holding the Golden Boy Award trophy in both hands, kept smiling, and at the same time he humorously said to the camera: "Remember to shoot me handsomely, otherwise I will complain about you." ”
Suddenly, countless reporters burst into laughter.
At work, sometimes you need to relax.
After the filming, Tang Zheng began to be interviewed by the media present.
As for the exclusive interview with Torino Sport, it will be conducted in a quieter infield after the interviews with the special media, and the reporters will also be interviewed by reporters from Dortmund's official website.
The questions of Tang Zheng's media interviews at the beginning were quite reasonable, basically revolving around his mood of winning the European Golden Globe Award, what he would do in the future, and so on.
But when it was the turn of the "Milan Sport" interview, the atmosphere at the press conference immediately changed, he asked: "Judging from the results of the ratings just came out, you don't have many leading scores, and throughout 2009, Pato played in Europe, but most of your ratings came from South America in the first half of the year, do you feel like you won't be able to win?"
Hearing this, the smile on Tang Zheng's face froze obviously.
Not only that, but the reporters of the Torino Sport newspaper and other media outlets that supported Tang Zheng raised their eyebrows, because the question of the Milan Sport newspaper was very impolite, like a fly suddenly falling from a delicacy.
Dortmund's press officer, Josef Schneck, was quick to react, preempting the disgruntled Chinese media and saying, "The next ...... is please"
However, just as Joseph Schneck's words fell, the smile on Tang Zheng's face returned, he stretched out his hand to interrupt, and then said to the middle-aged reporter of "Milan Sports Newspaper": "This question is very good and very level, but I want to tell you! Without mentioning any data in the first half of this year, you can just look at the relevant data of the 2009-2010 season to know who performed better." ”
After that, he added another sentence in an accentuated tone: "So...... I'm the golden boy of Europe!"
The Chinese and German media sitting in the reporter's question area applauded in their hearts!
In fact, if you don't look at the data in the first half of this year, Tang Zheng's data this season is ahead of Pato.
Although he scored fewer goals than Pato, he only scored a lot more than Pato in terms of assists, chances created, distance traveled, head-on interceptions, and even breakthrough success rate.
In fact, the most important thing is that Tang Zheng started the game so far, Dortmund remains undefeated!
The best player in Europe under the age of 21 is well deserved!
"Of course, if you want to talk with goals. Tang Zheng looked at the reporter of "Milan Sports Daily" and said jokingly: "I'm ...... The golden boy of Europe, I deserve it. ”
Suddenly, Tang Zheng caused everyone to burst into laughter.
And the reporter of "Milan Sports Newspaper" frowned unwillingly, but there was no basis to refute it.
As a professional football media, they naturally collected the specific data of the two, Tang Zheng and Pato's corresponding data this season, in addition to goals, Tang Zheng is overwhelming......
In the subsequent reporter's question, due to the failure of the "Milan Sports Newspaper", everyone's questions were relatively peaceful, after all, the results have come out, and the question will not lead to this year's European golden boy changing hands, why do you need to do something unflattering?
Coupled with Tang Zheng's performance in the Bundesliga this season, the success in River Plate in the first half of the year can only be said to make his European Golden Boy Award more convincing, nothing more.

"Hi...... Don: Congratulations on winning the seventh European Golden Boy Award, following Rafael van der Vaart, Wayne Rooney, Leo Messi, Francisco Fabregas, Sergio Aguero and Anderson. Paulo Depaola, editor-in-chief of Turin Sport, held out his right hand in the inner chamber of Westphalia.
Tang Zheng glanced down at the glittering golden ball, and also stretched out his right hand: "I am very happy to be able to win this year's European Golden Boy Award, and I will not be able to deserve this honor at the age of twenty-one next year, so I am very proud and proud to receive this trophy at this time, and I am here to ...... I'm very grateful to the media who voted for me. ”
Speaking of this, Tang Zheng looked up at Paul Depaola and said with a smile: "Of course, the most important thing is to thank your newspaper for setting up an award that reflects the value of young players, thank you very much." ”
Paul Depaola smiled at first, and then glanced at Tang Zheng in surprise.
In the past, he interviewed six European Golden Boy Award winners, except for Messi, only Tang Zheng in front of him expressed this, they basically revolved around their own awards, so Paul De Paula is more optimistic about Tang Zheng's future development prospects.
Maybe four years later, he will be able to win the European Ballon d'Or like Messi today.
Immediately, he talked about whether Tang Zheng won the Golden Boy Award, whether he would like to win the Golden Globe Award in the future, and whether it means that he has grown from a new star to a superstar.
"Of course, I also hope to win the European Ballon d'Or one day. Tang Zheng said without hesitation: "This year's Messi won the European Golden Ball awarded by "French Football", and he won the European Golden Boy Award four years ago, which fully shows that the selection of the European Golden Boy Award has a unique media vision and is very golden, and winning the Golden Ball Award is the glory that every professional player dreams of, and I am too!"
At the right time, I slapped a sycophant.
The next day, the Torino Sport newspaper published the full content of their interview with Tang Zheng.
The newspaper Torino Sport has a very high opinion of Tang Zheng, and the editor-in-chief Paulo Depaola said in his column: "There is no shortage of talent on the field, and there is no other young player better than Tang in the whole 89-year-old group, he is talented and hardworking, and I even feel like a gentleman of the old aristocracy when I am interviewed...... I believe that in the future of world football, Don will occupy a certain weight, and the great revival of Dortmund will be on the highway of revival with his progress......"
Italy's best-selling newspaper "Milan Sport" and "Torino Sport" have a huge difference in related content, like a special ring.
The new issue of "Torino Sport" reported that Tang Zheng was a gentleman, but "Milan Sport" thought that Tang Zheng, who won the European Golden Boy Award, was full of arrogance and rudeness, and at the same time felt unwilling for Pato, who was defeated.
However, what "Milan Sport" did not expect was that Pato, who they have always supported, said in an interview with Milan TV: "In fact, Don's election fully shows that football knows no borders, and his performance throughout 2009 is really good, I have watched his game, great......! I have no complaints! Because the world of football is inherently inhabited. ”
As a result, "Milan Sports Newspaper" felt that it was not human inside and out, and the people they supported actually gave in behind their backs......
Getting back to business, Tang Zheng didn't let up on winning the European Golden Boy Award, and he trained and practiced every day as usual to prepare for the final round of the league game at home to Freiburg before the winter break.
With Schalke 04 drawing with Werder Bremen in the last round and Borussia Dortmund winning away at Wolfsburg, they are level on league points and have a two-goal advantage in goal difference, so the league table has naturally risen to fourth.
If you want to qualify for next season's Champions League, fourth place is not enough.
According to the European points given by UEFA last season, the Bundesliga ranks fourth, which means that there are only three places for the Bundesliga to participate in the Champions League this season and next season, and it is still 2+1.
Ahead of Borussia Dortmund's home league clash with Freiburg, Tang Zheng presented his latest trophy to an audience of 83,000 fans at the Westphalia Stadium.
The sacred South Stand also made a difference, and they hung up a huge poster before the start of the game.
The image of the poster is naturally Tang Zheng holding the Golden Boy trophy, and there is such a line of eye-catching German on the lower edge of the poster: heute-golden-boy, men-den-golden-globe!
Translated into Chinese, it is: Today's Golden Boy, Tomorrow's Golden Ball!
