On Wednesday morning, Dong Fangzhuo arrived in Turin, Italy, where he accompanied Anthony Martial and the others to attend the ceremony of the European Golden Boy Awards.

Although Manchester United have not had a good start to the season, Manchester United's young talent has been favoured by Europe.

Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw and Januzaj are all on the shortlist.

A few of them still have the best chance of winning the prize.

Originally, Ferguson led the team to participate, but because of poor health, this heavy responsibility fell on Dong Fangzhuo. In fact, Dong Fangzhuo's identity is not suitable, maybe he appeared in another capacity......

The results of the 2015 European Golden Boy Award were announced by the Italian newspaper Torino Sport, and Manchester United's rising star Anthony Martial was selected as the European Golden Boy of the year, putting him on a par with the likes of Dong Fangzhuo, Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney, Sergio Aguero, Cesc Fabregas and Paul Pogba.

Created in 2003 by Torino Sport, the European Golden Boy Award is given to the best player under the age of 21 who has played for a European club and performed in the past year. The Golden Boy Award is the "Golden Ball Award under 21", with an expert jury composed of 30 journalists from 20 European countries, such as "French Football", "Team Newspaper", "The Times", "Marca", "World Sports", "Bild" and other authoritative media are judges. Previous winners include Dong Fangzhuo, Wayne Rooney, Lionel Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Sergio Aguero, Pato, Balotelli, Gotze, Isco, Raheem Sterling and other players. Most of these players have gone on to be very successful in their future careers, and the authority of this award is unquestionable.

Given Anthony Martial's development potential and current status at Manchester United, it is no surprise that he was named the 2015 European Golden Boy award. Anthony Martial joined Manchester United this summer for a fixed transfer fee of £36 million, or £58 million (€80 million) if the variable fee is included. Not only does he have excellent speed and sharp breakthroughs, but he also has very strong heading ability and playmaking ability, and many experts and media are optimistic that Anthony Martial will become Manchester United's new Cristiano Ronaldo. But Anthony Martial was injured just after playing one game for Manchester United and only recently returned.

Anthony Martial has beaten a host of United team-mates Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw and Januzaj, as well as Bayern Munich's Kingsley Koeman, Real Madrid's Asensio, Arsenal's Bellerin and Barcelona's Munier.

Anthony Martial also became the fourth player in United's history to win the European Golden Boy award, following Wayne Rooney, Dong Fangzhuo and Andersson.

Dong Fangzhuo really appeared on the rostrum as an award presenter and presented the award to Martial in person.

After Anthony Martial's speech, Dong Fangzhuo also made a short speech.

"It's great that another Manchester United player has won the European Golden Boy award, this is the fourth time that Manchester United have won the award."

"Manchester United have a tradition of winning this award."

The audience burst into laughter.

"Manchester United have dominated football in this award."

It's not that Dong Fangzhuo is bragging, in a total of 15 years, Manchester United players have won four, and it looks like Rashford will also hope to win the award next year......

Then Dong Fangzhuo talked about world football.

"There are fewer and fewer talented newcomers coming out right now."

"Players with technical characteristics are not coming out and each team is playing more and more uniformly and similarly. Football is a bigger game. ”

"I can even imagine the World Cup in three years' time, when our generation of players gets old, the world of football will be different."

"The whole game was in possession, in possession, in coordination and cooperation, but no one stepped up to solve the problem and complete the goal."

"The gap between the national teams will close very quickly, and you won't see which team is guaranteed to win at all. Because there are no features. ”

"Why?"

"Just because there are fewer and fewer players like Ronaldo and Messi in international football, the characteristics of the players have been assimilated to be very similar, and they don't know how to break through, pass people, and even creative passes."

It's really amazing.

Although Dong Fangzhuo did not experience the 2018 World Cup, he made a bold prediction......

There was an uproar in the audience, thinking about the meaning of Dong Fangzhuo's words.

Many people began to nod, because what Dong Fangzhuo said was not unreasonable. On the contrary, the more you think about it, the more correct it becomes.

How many young people are there in international football today? There are personalities, but at the competitive level, there are very few outstanding young people.

"These young people in the audience are basically the best young people now."

"I hope that more and more young people will emerge in the future and bring us greater surprises."

"I hope to see more and more Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, more and more Dong Fangzhuo, Eden Hazard, Neymar, etc. They can continue to carry the spirit of football......"

"They say football is developing, but I think football is going backwards."

……

After the awards party, major mainstream media in Europe published Dong Fangzhuo's speech, and a heated discussion was set off in Europe.

Everyone wonders, will Dong Fangzhuo's prophecy be true?

Germany's "Bild" - King Dong made a surprising statement at the Golden Boy Awards Gala, saying that world football is becoming more and more boring, and football is not improving, but has been regressing.

The Times – Football is moving away from superstars. According to Wang Dong's understanding, the talents of world football have begun to wither, and it is difficult to have outstanding players.

The one who feels Dong Fangzhuo's remarks the most is Brazil.

"Global Sports" is very emotional - Wang Dong's remarks are very well-founded, you can think about the No. 9 of our national team, how many years has not been a super No. 9. Adriano was the last. But before that? We don't even have that many Super Nines. Brazil's football talent is also gone.

"Milan Sports Newspaper" - Many years ago, Italy was known as the small World Cup, and Italy is also full of talents and talents. But what about Italy today? Wang Dong is not wrong at all, football is indeed going backwards......

Ole – We are always proud of Argentina's forward line, but in reality we have nothing left in the midfield, not even a Riquelme or Veron. Monotonous style of play, no creativity, boring game process and results......
