Frankie, editor-in-chief of the international football section of Torino Sport and the head of the European Golden Boy award, is currently depressed in a hotel in Villarreal, a small seaside town in Iberia. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As one of the bosses of "Torino Sports Newspaper", Frankie's work is very busy, especially during the period when the "European Golden Boy Award" enters the final selection, he not only has to supervise the statistical scores in the newspaper, but also pay attention to the situation of each possible winner, grasp their recent trends, so as to ensure that after the "suspense" is revealed, the winner can be contacted as soon as possible, and the "Golden Ball" can be quickly delivered to the hands of the current golden boy.

That's why Frankie is in a small town – because this year's winner of the European Golden Boy Award plays for Villarreal, an urban and rural team with a population of only 50,000.

Truth be told, after the Golden Boy voting results came out, Frankie was still a little incredulous about the answer.

Every year, the competition for the European Golden Boy Award is fierce, and this year is no exception. Not to mention the 50-man squad, only the top 10 finalists, many of them are famous, Manchester United's Anderson is the winner of the Golden Ball Award in the 05 U17 World Youth Championship, he is also the most popular candidate, in addition to the first time, there are Arsenal's little tiger Walcott, Atletico Madrid's leading scorer Aguero, and Barcelona prodigy Bojan with a new generation of Messi. Kolkic, Milan golden boy Pato, bad boy Balotelli......

These are some of the hottest young players in European football today, and each player's name is well-known to the public. But this Fan Bizhuang ......

Because of its strong regional concept and strong xenophobia, Frankie, as the editor-in-chief, naturally has his own bias. Although there are many finalists, he is more optimistic about the final summit of young players such as Pato and Balotelli, both of whom play in Serie A.

These are the two biggest favorites in his heart, and taking a step back, even if these two people are ultimately defeated, the winners should be Anderson or Theo Walcott, both of whom play for big teams, and are also young and famous talents, who are extremely famous in British and even European football.

But no one thought that a dark horse would be born, and it was black enough and thorough, and it was directly killed to the top.

Frankie couldn't figure out how the final winner could be this Chinese teenager who had only debuted for two years and had only played one season in the entire professional league, but whether he liked it or not, the results of the voting had come out, and he could only have nothing to say, and then honestly took the Golden Ball to the seaside town to present the award to the new "Youth Footballer".

However, it was also because he came to the small town that he had a better understanding of Fan Bizhuang, and he also clearly realized Fan Bizhuang's popularity in this small city and even in Iberia.

Previously, Frankie didn't pay too much attention to Fan Bizhuang, but when he learned about the results of Fan Bizhuang after stepping into the professional league, he was immediately full of admiration.

In the first season, although he didn't make many appearances, he scored goals and assists; Last season, his performance became better and better, and at the end of the season, he won the best newcomer in La Liga, and he was also the assist king of La Liga, and the top three scorers were also in the top three; As for this season, its hot form continues, and it is currently second in the assist list, first in the scorer list, and has won two La Liga monthly awards, and there are countless single-game bests......

In the face of such dazzling data, what else can Frankie say, except for jaw-dropping, there is only one thought, if the Golden Boy Award is not given to Fan Bizhuang, then even if other young players get it, it is estimated that they will not be able to hold it - Nima, you are the best young player under the age of 21? No kidding, can you come up with the same data as Fan Bizhuang? Can't take it out? So roll as far as you want!

Originally, I thought that this year's selection was either shady, or more than 30 other professional sports media and newspapers in Europe were blind, but now it seems that this result is simply too fair to be fair!

However, I am glad to be glad, but I am not much depressed.

The reason is simple, after the voting results came out, Frankie couldn't find the winner. By contacting Villarreal FC, Frankie got Van Bizhuang's phone number, but he and his colleagues called countless times, but all they heard was a shutdown tone.

In desperation, Frankie could only get Molina's contact information through the Submarine Club again, but fortunately, Molina did not have the habit of turning off the phone because of the nature of his work, otherwise Frankie would have become a big laughing stock in the European media - awarding awards, but not finding a winner, this is really fucked up.

contacted Molina to explain the situation briefly, and said that he would contact Fan Bizhuang as soon as possible to rush back to the town, and he would return to Spain as soon as possible.

After making an agreement, Frankie rushed to Spain with the Ballon d'Or trophy and came to the small town.

Outcome......

After two days in the town after Christmas, without seeing a single ghost, he contacted Molina again, who apologized and told him that there was a problem with the flight from China to Spain and that he needed to be delayed for two days to board. As for the reason why Fan Bizhuang did not rush back to the small city, it is also irresistible, the British Isles were suddenly hit by a cold snap, and all flights in the UK have been temporarily suspended......

With tears streaming down his face, Frankie almost jumped to his feet and scolded his mother, not only did he almost become the first award giver in history to find a winner, but he was also sure to be the first award presenter to hold the trophy but had to be postponed for the award date......

However, the Villarreal club is still quite understanding, especially after hearing that Van Bizhuang won this year's European Golden Boy Award, they sent staff to accompany him, and took Frankie to tour the scenery of the town in the past two days...... Well, there's actually nothing to visit, a small city with a population of only 50,000, how big do you think it will be, how many scenic spots will there be? No kidding, so it only took Frankie one morning to walk through the town, and then in the afternoon, he went around the town again.

This is not the saddest part, what is even more tragic is that the next day, accompanied by the staff of the Villarreal club, he went on to tour the town again......

Just as Frankie was about to leave a psychological shadow on his browsing, Molina finally rushed back to the town.

The two met in the inn, and after apologizing and explaining the situation, Molina warmly invited Frankie to dinner, and then asked Frankie if he would like to be accompanied by him to explore the seaside scenery of the town...... Then, there was no then, and this time, Frankie really threw up.

"Fan's agent has a mysterious night party, suspected of discussing a transfer?!"

"This winter, Villarreal is suspected to have a major earthquake! The yellow submarine may be poached, and the star of the team is likely to leave! ”

"Who is the mystery man? What is Mr. Conteres 'plotting' with him? ”

"Despite his youth, that's what he is, Van has become one of the best players in La Liga! There are a lot of giants and strong teams who want to get him! To be honest, I wasn't surprised at all that agents approached certain teams! Even, I can already announce that this winter, Van will definitely leave the submarine and take to a bigger stage...... Well, no later than the end of the season! A small ball like Villarreal can't keep a real big star! ”

"Where did you choose Villarreal? What is this? Is it a provocation to the Submarine Club? Or is it an ulterior motive? Maybe Van and his agent are using this way to put pressure on the team! ”

"Fan is about to say goodbye to the town!"

“……”

I have to admire the tracking ability and imagination of the news media, and the day after the meeting between Molina and Frankie, all kinds of speculation about Fan Bizhuang have already appeared in the newspapers, and the newspaper published photos of the two having dinner together in the restaurant.

The fans of the small town were instantly nervous by such a noisy atmosphere, but before they could make any action to put pressure on the club and retain it, the development of the situation took a new turn.

"Le Monde Sport" took the lead in criticizing the false reports of many tabloids, and then speculated: "The mysterious person in the photo is Frankie, the editor-in-chief of the international football section of Torino Sport!" We are no strangers to this newspaper, and the 'European Golden Boy Awards' they founded has a huge influence, if I remember correctly, this is when the voting results are about to be released, Frankie is now in the small town, and meets with Fan's agent, what it means, it goes without saying! ”

Although "Le Monde Sport" is a sports media in Catalonia, and even has the title of Barcelona's "team newspaper", their credibility is still very good, and their influence is even better. So their speeches instantly woke up Spanish fans.

Immediately afterwards, many well-known media newspapers in Spain and even Europe broke the "insider" news one after another.

As: "The winner of the new European Golden Boy Award has been confirmed, and there is no doubt that the winner is from Villarreal...... Fan! ”

Marca: "In the last year, no young player has been able to match the brilliance of Fan, and at this age he is the best one! ”

"Kicker": "If the winner is not Fan, I don't think anyone who wins this award will feel at ease!" ”

"Milan Sport": "According to people familiar with the matter, Mr. Frankie is rushing to the Iberian Peninsula with the 'little golden ball'! This means that this year's European Golden Boy Award will go to La Liga! Fan will be the most powerful contender! ”
