Chapter 475 European Golden Boot

The day after the match against Dortmund, the whole Wolfsburg team announced the disbandment. The players are ready to start their vacation. Of course, the players who are lucky enough to be in the national team to participate in this summer's European Championship will not have much time to enjoy their holidays.

There aren't many internationals in the Wolfsburg team, goalkeeper Benaglio is one, he is a Sweden international, and in addition, the team's central defender Ricardo. Costa has also made the Portugal national team's 23-man squad again with a good performance at Wolfsburg this season and is likely to qualify as a starter. Wolfsburg's young German midfielder Marin is also in the 27-man squad, but it will not be easy for him to finally make the 23-man squad and get a ticket to Austria.

However, there is a huge surprise for Wolfsburg's substitute striker Lewandowski, who previously played in the Polish Second Division, because he won the UEFA Cup and the third place in the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg, although it is only the third choice of Wolfsburg's striker, but it still won the favor of the national team, entered the 30-man squad, and is very likely to catch the last train to Austria, which is also the first time Lewandowski has been selected for the Polish national team.

However, the European Cup has nothing to do with Yang Fan, and the Asian Cup was just played last summer, but, ironically, Wolfsburg's number one star, two consecutive Bundesliga Golden Boot and League Cup goal record holder, has been excluded from the door of the Chinese national team.

Players who don't have a national team assignment can have a good holiday, but their agent has no time to rest, and Wolfsburg has had an excellent season with the German Cup and UEFA Cup double.

Now, Wolfsburg's group of players has also attracted the attention and favor of other teams, and it is natural for agents to be busy dealing with player transfers, or asking Wolfsburg FC for a salary increase.

For Wolfsburg manager Fox, he knows how important this summer is for Wolfsburg. VfL Wolfsburg are ambitious teams who refuse to be the star manufacturing factory of Serie A's Udinese, and if they want to remain competitive next season, they will need to retain most of their main players and bring in reinforcements in the transfer market.

However, there is one player who can't be retained, and Yang Fan is leaving, which is a sure thing. This is a lot of turmoil for Wolfsburg, Fox knows that it is impossible for the team to have a player of Yang Fan's level again, and the departure of this young man is a pain that Wolfsburg cannot bear. [I love to read]

However, Yang Fan's departure is inevitable, and Wolfsburg can only accept it helplessly. [To read the latest chapters of this book, please search]

Moreover, I have to take into account one point, that is, the impact of Yang Fan's departure on Wolfsburg, Yang Fan's importance to Wolfsburg is undoubted, to put it mildly, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wolfsburg with Yang Fan is now a strong player in the Bundesliga, and Wolfsburg without Yang Fan is at most the level and strength of the middle and upper reaches of the team.

Yang Fan is leaving, and in the eyes of some players, the future of this team has also cast a shadow.

So, Fox has to take this into account, and one of the things he needs to solve the most now is to complete the purge of players, and deal with some players who have a poor performance in the middle of the season and have a big gap with the team's expectations, so as to free up money and salary space to bring in new players. And the most important point is to deal with Yang Fan's transfer as soon as possible, since the player is destined to leave, then, do your best to complete this transfer.

The wishful thinking of Fox and Wolfsburg is to sell Yang Fan for as high a price as possible, and then use the money to bring in two or three powerful stars, which can also stabilize the morale of the whole team and settle down some of the main players who may be hesitant to transfer. You know, Wolfsburg FC now has a number of players who are eyed by other teams, Yang Fan's partner in the front line Dzeko has attracted the interest of Schalke 04, and Marin, who can play both left midfield and winger, has also attracted the attention of Bremen. In addition, Stuttgart have also set their sights on Schaefer, who has excelled at left-back this season, and even substitute striker Robert Lewandowski has caught Dortmund's attention.

Therefore, as much as possible to negotiate the transfer of Yang Fan, this is Fox's most urgent work at present. He was already thinking about how much transfer money Yang Fan could get in exchange, Wolfsburg's number one star, the most terrifying scorer in the Bundesliga, had been put on the shelves for sale, just waiting for customers to come.

※※※※※※※

The season is over, and Yang Fan can basically announce that he has won the first most important individual award of his career: the European Golden Boot!

La Liga, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 all settled at the same time over the weekend, and the 2007/2008 Europa League began to fall, although there are still second-tier leagues such as the Scottish Premiership, but because the number of goals is too far apart, and some Eastern European leagues, although they have just started, have no influence on Wolfsburg's top star rankings due to the rules that count the points of the previous season (i.e. the 2007 season) for a single league at the time of selection. With 72 points from 36 league games, the 20-year-old has already secured 99% of the 2007/2008 European Golden Boot awards, adding a huge accolade to his career.

The European Golden Boot is a competition between the top scorers in Europe's major leagues.

And Yang Fan's 36 league goals are unmatched by no player who has won the European Golden Boot in the past five years!

The closest he has come is Toney (31 goals for Fiorentina in 2005/2006), while the rest of the top scorers such as Mackay, Thierry Henry, Forlan and Totti are only close to him. However, if the scope is expanded to the 1996/1997 season after the selection method is restructured, there is still one person who can be compared with Yang Fan. In the previous statistical position, the top spot was the legendary Brazilian goalscorer Jadel, who first set a record of 72 points with 36 goals in the 1998/1999 season with Porto and it is worth mentioning that in the 2001/2002 season, Jadel, who switched to Sporting Lisbon, scored a record 42 goals in the league, although at that time the Portuguese league points per goal dropped to 1. 5 points, Jadel won the Golden Boot with 66 points.

The European Golden Boot is an award created in 1968 by the famous French football magazine, and this year marks the 40th year of its existence. The selection compares the league goals scored by European goalscorers in the same season to select the European Golden Boot for that season. The superstar who won the award for the first time 40 years ago was the legendary Portuguese superstar Eusebio. In addition to the Portuguese Panthers, football legends such as Gerd Muller, Basten and Stoichkov have won this award in the past years.

In the 1996/1997 season, the selection of the European Golden Boot was heavily reformed, and the selection unit became a sports magazine league composed of more than ten top European sports media (e**), and the selection also evolved from a simple comparison of goals in the past to a more reasonable weighted calculation method. The selection committee has set a rule that the top 5 leagues in the UEFA standings will receive 2 points for every goal scored, the 6-21 leagues will receive 1.5 points per goal, and the rest of the leagues will receive 1 point per goal.

In this season, Yang Fan's goals in the Bundesliga are 36 goals, and the points have reached 72 points, in addition to the Eredivisie scorer Wang Huntelaar's goals are 33 goals, and the number of goals scored by Griffin, the number one star of the Welsh League, is 40 goals, however, their points are only 66 points and 60 points, far from Yang Fan, of course, this situation also reflects the rationality and authority of the award.

In this way, the top scorers of Europe's top five leagues this season are all in the top 10 of the list. Similar to the clubs, the Premier League, with three players selected for the Golden Boot, was once again the best league, while Juventus, who contributed to the top 10 with Piero and Trezeguet, became the best club.

Here, it is worth mentioning that second only to him in scoring points in the European Golden Boot is Manchester United's number one star Cristiano Ronaldo, with the Portuguese scoring 31 goals in the Premier League this season, making him the first goalscorer to score more than 30 goals in a single Premier League season after Alan Shearer and Andy Cole!

Cristiano Ronaldo's goals are 31 goals and 62 points, and he is behind Yang Fan with 10 points and is in second place!

This also made many Manchester United fans, as well as Cristiano Ronaldo's fans and Portuguese fans very aggrieved for Cristiano Ronaldo, they think that Cristiano Ronaldo's table is much more brilliant than Yang Fan, and the golden boot should belong to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Some England fans even said that the scoring rules for the Golden Boot should be changed, and the Bundesliga should also multiply the number of goals by 1.5, rather than the same way as the Premier League. This shouting has won the hearts of some English fans, who take it for granted that the Premier League is the number one league in the world and deserves special treatment.

For this, a reporter went to interview Cristiano Ronaldo and asked him how he felt about the golden boot being snatched away by Yang Fan.

The Portuguese proudly replied: "I am only thinking about the Champions League final now!"

That's the big truth.

However, considering that Yang Fan won the League Cup, and the League Cup is inferior to the Champions Cup, the reporters immediately diverged this sentence, 'Cristiano Ronaldo disdains the Chinese to win the Golden Boot, and the Champions Cup is worth ten League Cups!'

Other media outlets also have similar headlines, which can be summed up in one sentence: Cristiano Ronaldo looks down on Yang Fan.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the most popular star in European football now, Yang Fan is three years younger than Cristiano Ronaldo, and is the most popular young star in European football.

Cristiano Ronaldo is also a personality player, Yang Fan needless to say, if these two people fight, it will be lively.

This is also the reason why they hyped Cristiano Ronaldo's despises on Yang Fan...... I'm afraid the world won't be chaotic.

"Cristiano Ronaldo might be upset...... However, Yang Fan has scored more goals than Cristiano Ronaldo, and he is a well-deserved European Golden Boot ......" - "French Football"!
