After Wang Feng's goal, Francis also made player adjustments. He brought on a couple of players who had lost fitness to get the substitutes on the pitch to get a feel for the game.

Take advantage of this game to practice the players' tacit understanding and observe their tactical understanding.

Francis is already preparing for the games ahead.

It's just that although the Chinese team took the lead in making substitution adjustments and went on the bench, it didn't give Nigeria any chance.

Until full-time, Nigeria were unable to score a single goal.

They lost 3-0 to China and lost their first game in the group.

The African powerhouse lost the first game of the group stage, which was unexpected and proved the strength of the Chinese team.

After the game, Lu Feng was quickly surrounded by reporters, and the microphones, voice recorders, video cameras, and camera lenses were all aimed at him.

He was like the best player of the game.

The Nigerian players watched the scene from the sidelines, their faces expressionless.

At the moment, they don't have any ideas.

After just one glance, he turned and left, walking back to the locker room in frustration.

Lu Feng's strength is really above his peers, and it is not too unjust to lose to such an opponent.

After the game, the players of the Chinese team hugged each other and cheered to their heart's content.

They finally had the opportunity to re-participate in the World Youth Championships, and for these Chinese players, the vast majority of them participated in the World Youth Championships for the first time.

They didn't expect to win their first game of the group stage.

They've been put into the death group!

But now it seems that the group of death is not the Chinese team, but the opponents of the Chinese team!

In the first game, it got off to a good start, which is indeed a good sign for the Chinese team.

Although many people are optimistic about this Chinese team, and the Chinese team also won the Asian Youth Championships, after all, they have not participated in the World Youth Championships for many years, and the opponents they encounter are not second-rate teams in Asia, but strong teams in the world.

And such a score, before this game, is completely unimaginable for Chinese players and fans!

Some people even think that the Chinese team has no way to qualify, especially in such a group.

It's just that now it seems that the probability of the Chinese team is still quite large, the first game is a complete victory, and the remaining two games, the Chinese team only needs to win one game to ensure the qualification.

If you win one game in two games, it is really not difficult according to the current state of the Chinese team.

......

When Nigeria's match against China is over, the next opponent of the Chinese team is Uruguay, and the last game is against Portugal.

In the other match in the same group, Portugal drew with Uruguay. The two sides played to a 2-2 draw, with 1 point each.

Now, the Chinese team is temporarily the top of the group.

In other words, the Chinese team only needs to win one game to qualify steadily.

However, at this time, many people, including Chinese players, did not pay attention to the game, but paid attention to another thing.

With the end of the season, world football has entered the awards season, with various annual awards being released.

What World Footballer of the Year, what European Ballon d'Or, what World Football's best player... So this time of year is always the busiest.

In fact, since a month ago, many media outlets have been hyping about the winners of various awards.

The European Ballon d'Or and FIFA's World Footballer of the Year are the most watched selections.

This year is not a big year, what European Cup, Asian Cup, Copa America. The World Cup is none.

Generally speaking, if it is a major year, then whether it is the World Footballer of the Year or the European Ballon d'Or, it is basically produced in the championship of the tournament.

For example, 2002 was the year of the World Cup, and that year the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or both went to Ronaldo of Brazil, who scored eight goals in the World Cup, which was the Golden Boot of the World Cup, and also broke the curse of no more than six goals scored by the top scorer in the World Cup since 1974.

There was a great performance in the World Cup, although Ronaldo missed a long time in Serie A that year due to injury, played at the end, and lost the league title, no one said anything gossip.

However, this is not a big year, so everything depends on the results of the club, and the results of the national team are useless.

If you look at the club's results, the winners of the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, not surprisingly, should be among the leading stars of several giants.

Especially Sane, the core of Bayern Munich, defeated Liverpool in the recently concluded Champions League final, Bayern Munich defeated Liverpool and won the Champions League.

Of course, the stars of other giants also have the opportunity to

For example, Liverpool's star who lost the Champions League but won the Premier League title, midfielder Nacho, is a favorable contender for these two awards.

Others, such as Real Madrid and Barcelona's leading stars, are also eligible to compete for these two awards.

It's just that the competition for these two awards looks lively, but for Lu Feng, it can only be lively.

With his current status in world football, it is still very early to win two such important awards.

At the very least, Lu Feng has to have a championship and a good season performance.

Lu Feng's performance this season is really good, but the champion... An FA Cup champion is too cheap, and those who participate in the selection are not the champions of the five major leagues, or the Champions League champions, and the FA Cup champions, it is really not enough to see.

But the land breeze is in this point in time. , and not all of them are spectators.

There is still an award related to him.

That's an award for young people, the European Golden Boy!

The European Golden Boy Award is sponsored by the "Torino Sports Newspaper", which sends ballots to the authoritative sports media in 20 European countries every year, and an expert jury composed of more than 30 journalists, these media vote, each vote can be counted up to 10 points, and finally the "Torino Sports Newspaper" is responsible for counting the scores, and the player with the highest score is awarded the "Golden Ball Award" by the "Torino Sports Newspaper".

Because this award is voted and scored by professional and authoritative media, the authority and professionalism are guaranteed.

Secondly, because this is the only major prize for players under the age of 21, this award is full of gold.

It can be said that those who can win this award must be the best among young players.

Because the media selection is not like the selection of national team coaches and captains, only the fame is recognized, and whoever is famous will be selected. The selection of the media should be more rigorous, and they will refer to it from many aspects.

Authoritative media such as France Football, Squad Newspaper, The Times, Marca, Le Monde Sport, Bild and many others are all judges.

This is also the reason why the European Ballon d'Or is obviously a continental football award, but in terms of status, it is on par with the World Footballer of the Year hosted by FIFA.

Therefore, although the influence of the European Golden Boy Award is not as good as that of the Ballon d'Or, many players still flock to it, and it is also the goal of many young players to win this award.

And the stars who have won the Golden Boy Award are simply scary to list.

What Van der Fack, Raheem Sterling, Pogba. Owen and others are all famous stars in world football.

Lu Feng was able to associate with this award, which really surprised many people, and many Chinese fans were excited.

In the season just ended, Lu Feng performed well in the league, helping Leeds United win the Championship and at the same time, he also helped Leeds United win the FA Cup, scoring 37 goals for Leeds United in all competitions, which can be said to be in hot form.

In terms of the national team, although it is not a big year, Lu Feng still helped the Chinese team win the championship of the Asian Youth Championship, and is also the best player and golden boot winner of the Asian Youth Championship.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Lu Feng and the Golden Boy Award are linked.

However, this time, Lu Feng will also face competition from other opponents.

The new stars and the talents of the Grand Parisians also performed well last season, winning some important titles each.

Manchester United is the winner of the Europa League, and Grand Paris has a monopoly on any Ligue 1 title.

and Lu Feng, these two people are very young and perform very well.

It's hard to choose one of them.

But most people feel that despite the difficulty, Landbreeze should be the golden boy of Europe.

Lu Feng does not have an overwhelming advantage over other players, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have an advantage.

Lu Feng's performance in Leeds United and the Chinese team is obvious to all, and it can be said that whether it is the champion of Leeds United or the champion of the Chinese team, there is enough credit for landing Feng.

In contrast, the other contenders also performed well, but their championship had little to do with their performance, and in terms of goals, Lu Feng also had an overwhelming advantage.

Considering that Lu Feng has one more national team honor for other players - the champion of the Asian Youth Championship.

So everyone thinks that Lu Feng will definitely win this season's Golden Boy Award.

Especially the British and Chinese media.

The Chinese media are the most enthusiastic.

Because this will be the most important individual honor that a Chinese player has won in Europe.

Since a month ago, the Chinese media began to hype the news that Lu Feng was about to win the European Golden Boy Award, and they were also very enthusiastic to introduce the "European Golden Boy Award" to Chinese fans.

Naturally, how tall and how to blow.

What is the "European Youth Footballer of the Year"......

The Chinese media is desperate to remove the word "youth".

So Chinese fans know that there is such a "Golden Ball Award" in Europe specifically for young people, and the trophy is really a football made of gold.

Everyone is looking forward to Landing Wind being able to win such a super awesome award.

Of course, the Chinese media also introduced the fans to Lu Feng's other opponents.

In fact, it doesn't need to be introduced, everyone knows it very well.

Because compared to Leeds United, where Lu Feng is located, the other competitors are all giant teams, so naturally there are many fans who pay attention.

And Lu Feng's opponents are all playing in the main team of the giants, otherwise, they are not qualified to compete with Lu Feng for awards.

Therefore, everyone is relatively familiar with the situation of other competitors.

After learning about the opponent, Chinese fans analyzed for a while and believed that Lu Feng might be the highest among all the candidates who won the Golden Boy Award.

However, we will only know how to do it when the results come out.

......

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

The Torino Sport newspaper published the results in the most conspicuous places, both in their own newspaper and on their official website.

"The new European golden boy - the 'quantity side' from China!"

Huge caption, below is a photo of Lu Feng racing through the race.

As most people expected, Landbreeze won the 2028 European Golden Boy Award!

Just after the news was announced, Lu Feng immediately received a call from the "Torino Sports Newspaper".

On the phone, the editor-in-chief of Torino Sport congratulated Lu Feng and then hoped to get an exclusive interview with Lu Feng.

This kind of thing, Lu Feng naturally will not refuse, people give themselves an award, accept an exclusive interview with others, that is normal.

So Lu Feng agreed.

As soon as I hung up the phone on Torino Sport, Leeds United manager Jurgen Klopp's phone call came again.

"Congratulations, Lu Feng! You're the best young player in Europe! ”

"The manager has won the award, and I haven't done enough." Lu Feng was very modest.

"Don't be so modest, I know your strength very well.

You should be competing in the World Junior Championships now. ”

On the other end of the phone, Klopp's hearty laughter was heard.

"Hmm..."

"I wish you and the Chinese team good results, not to mention, I still have something to do, this holiday, I really don't have time."

"Uh... Then thank you, coach. ”

As soon as Lu Feng hung up the phone from head coach Klopp, a bunch of calls came in, naturally to celebrate Lu Feng's award.

At the same time, Annina's mobile phone was not idle, and it rang non-stop. Basically, there were reporters from major media outlets, just wanting to interview Lu Feng.

There are also some sponsors who have a cooperative relationship with Landwind, and congratulations to Landwind for winning the award.

After all, Land Wind won the award, and they also benefited.

......

Of course, for Lu Feng, this is just a small episode, and the Golden Boy Award has long been expected by him, and it is nothing at all.

His real goal is the Golden Globe.

Soon, Lu Feng returned to normal, after all, now, it is not the time to celebrate, the World Youth Championships are not over yet.

Just because Lu Feng doesn't care doesn't mean that others don't care either.

Chinese football has always given people the impression of being weak, and it has never been able to make the Chinese people proud in world football.

For a long time, Chinese football people have been somewhat inferior.

At this time, Lu Feng was born and won a European Golden Boy Award, which is the highest Lu Feng reputation for players under the age of 21 in Europe, and Lu Feng won this award, which proves that he is better than all players under the age of 21 who play in Europe!

Such a personal Lu Fengyu was unimaginable in Chinese football before, but now it has become a reality.

Can Chinese journalists not get excited?

Fans in China are more thrilled than they are.

On the domestic Internet, the news about discussing Lu Feng's award has swept the Internet, and even the news broadcast of CCAV1 has talked about it.

Overnight, Lu Feng became the hottest figure and star in the whole of China.
