The European Golden Boy Award was founded in 2003 by the Italian newspaper Torino Sport, and was voted for by the leading European media to select the best young player of the year. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The award is considered a 'rite of passage' for young rookies and must be made to young players under the age of 21 who play for European clubs.

Every year, Torino Sport sends ballots to more than 30 European sports media outlets, and the maximum score for each ballot is 10 points, and finally Torino Sport is responsible for counting the scores and awarding the "Golden Ball".

The European Golden Boy Award is the most authoritative award for young players in European football, and the winner represents the future of this football world, and is known as the youth version of the European Golden Ball Award.

The European Rookie of the Year Award, also known as the Bravo Award, was founded by the authoritative Italian sports magazine "Sports Battle", and the selection began in 1978, and the best rookie of the year is selected in Europe every year.

In 1992, the Sporting Newspaper changed the selection rules to limit the selection to players under the age of 23 who played for European clubs, and players who had not played in the three major European cups (now the two major cups) had to be under the age of 21.

The first winner of the European Rookie of the Year award came from Liverpool's Jimmy Case, who was playing for England's Liverpool at the time.

The first winner after the rule change was the away team in this game, Manchester City manager Josep Guardiola.

Zhang Zhetian, who was regarded by Taylor Sr. as expected to win this year's European Golden Boy Award and European Rookie Award, made another astonishing move in the 42nd minute of the first half: "Spread out, spread out, spread out for me, just mark people, no need to line up the wall." ”

It turned out that after Willy Caballero saved Sanchez's long-range shot, Arsenal took a corner kick and was pushed out by the Manchester City defenders, and David Silva, who grabbed the landing point outside the penalty area, immediately went straight to Raheem Sterling on the right, Sterling quickly advanced to the Arsenal half with the ball, and was pushed down by the pursuing Gunners midfielder Granit Xhaka on the right side of the middle, and at the same time caused the opponent to be warned by a yellow card, he got a direct free kick opportunity 28 meters away from the goal and a good position.

This position is suitable for left-footed players, and only Gail Klich, Silva and Leroy Sane are left-footed in City's starting line-up, but none of the three are adept at direct free-kicks.

Manchester City's free-kick masters, Aleksandar Kolarov and Yaya Toure, sat on the bench in front of the penalty spot, ready to take the penalty, with Kevin De Bruyne ready to take the penalty.

After a mixed European Championship journey, De Bruyne has a tendency to explode under Pep Guardiola this season, although the last pass is not as good as Silva, but with outstanding ball and dribbling speed, Manchester City's rapid counterattack is basically planned and organized by him, and Manchester City's rapid advance after the break in the midfield to create a threat is the Belgian's strength.

In the fourth round of the Champions League group stage last November, at home to Barcelona, Kevin De Bruyne put Manchester City ahead of the score with a free-kick and eventually scored a valuable three points.

In this game, De Bruyne hit a Cristiano Ronaldo and Andres Pirlo-style elevator kick to break through the door of Marc Ter Stegen, the "Little Lion King" of Zhang Zhetian's brother, and became the first Manchester City player to score a direct free kick in the Champions League since Toure in November 2014.

Manchester City have scored from four free-kicks in the Champions League era, two of which belonged to free-kick specialist Kolarov.

At the same time, De Bruyne is also the first player to score a free kick against Barcelona since Juninho in 2009.

This is not the first time that the Belgian genius has scored in the way of his predecessors, as he also scored a free-kick in the Premier League last September against Bournemouth, which did not choose to shoot the edge of the wall, but instead hit the ball into the goal, which is also one of the signature tricks of former Barcelona core Ronaldinho.

In the absence of Kolarov and Toure, the two masters of free kicks, Manchester City's direct free kicks in front of the field were basically punished by Manchester City's No. 17, so in order to help the team equalize, De Bruyne stood up.

Unless it's a set-piece from 40 metres away, no goalkeeper dares not to line the wall.

But Zhang Zhetian dared, the reason is that "I am only 1.85 meters tall, and the people who line the walls are all tall people, which will block my vision." Also, if the hit is refracted on your body, won't it be a cheat? ”

(Xhaka is innocent and innocent)

So he insisted on not letting his teammates line up the wall and let them mark Manchester City's front-court players, even if the set-piece was 28 metres away.

Last year at the University Club of Coimbra, Zhang Zhetian watched his friend's game at home, and witnessed his friend being scored three goals in a row by Manchester City away from home, including De Bruyne's free kick, although Ter Stegen saved the ball, but still could not prevent the ball from entering the net, which shows the high level of this free kick.

Of course, the position of that free kick is not the same as this time, the distance is not the same, and more importantly, Zhang Zhetian has confidence in himself, and now he has one foot into the world-class goalkeeper class, although he has returned from a long journey from the national team, but the FIFA virus does not work on him, in the face of strong teams, Zhang Zhetian's spirit will always mention the highest, and face strong opponents in the best condition.

"Palm, really don't want a human wall?" Gunners captain Laurent Koscielny repeatedly confirmed, after seeing Zhang Zhetian's repeated affirmation, and seeing that Arsène Wenger in the coach's box did not react, remembering the words of the professor before the game, Koscielny obeyed Zhang Zhetian's arrangement and led his teammates to conduct one-on-one or two-on-one marking of Manchester City players.

Seeing Arsenal's move, except for Arsene Wenger, who sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, and assistant coach Steve Boulder, everyone, including Guardiola, was stunned.

Who gave you so much courage not to line up the wall?

The distance of this set-piece is not far, it is 28 meters, not 38 meters, not 48 meters!

Referee Andrew Marriner felt so tired, it was only in the first half, and he experienced so much confusion, and the muscles in his face were pumped in protest.

Call Koscielny in and understand the situation, and it doesn't matter, anyway, there is no rule that says you have to put a human wall, and the Gunners players as the defender only need to be 10 yards away from the penalty spot.

Marriner looked at Zhang Zhetian, who had a calm face, the Chinese genius who had played the main role in the Premier League since he came to the Premier League in February and made a splash at Stamford Bridge, and said secretly in his heart: "If you don't put a human wall, it means that the opponent will not score no matter how you shoot." I don't know if you're too arrogant, or if you have the ability to be confident. ”

De Bruyne's face was not good-looking, he felt a nest of fire in his stomach, and he felt that he was being despised by this Chinese.

I'm going to teach you a lesson about this arrogant Chinese!
