Chapter 90 European Golden Boy Award (First Update)

When Chen Yingying was still on the plane back to Naples from Lyon, he was collectively teased by his teammates ().

When they saw Chen Yingying, they shouted: "Antonella. Canali! Antonella. Canali! Antonella. Canali! ”

The woman had said publicly before the game that if Napoli could return from an away win, she would be Chen Yingying's trophy and at her disposal. Think about it, a delicate beauty lying on the bed at your disposal...... What a blood-pumping scene that must have been!

They're all making a fuss.

"Hey, hero, what are you going to do with your loot?" And teammates asked.

Chen Yingying shook his head: "I didn't think about it!" ”

There was a burst of laughter in the cabin.

He really didn't think about it. When he heard the news before the game, he was shocked. But he always felt that it couldn't be true, because ...... Well, even if foreign girls open up again, they can't be open to this extent, right?

Now that Napoli has really won, will that beauty, who is a household name in the province of Naples, really fulfill her promise to be his spoils of war and be at his disposal?

To be honest, when I think of this, Chen Yingying is still a little looking forward to it......

After all, the other party is a big beauty ()!

Although Chen Yingxing doesn't often watch TV, this Canali really has a high popularity in the Naples area, there are advertising posters endorsed by her on the streets, and sexy photos of her are often published in magazines and newspapers, and she is the new goddess in the minds of many Neapolitans.

Now that this goddess has become her trophy, it can make people have a physiological reaction just thinking about it......

※※※

After getting off the plane, Chen Yingying received a phone call, but it was not from the Neapolitan goddess, but his agent Dracula.

"Good news for you, hero."

"What's the good news? Did you sign any endorsements for me? ”

"No, this time it has nothing to do with endorsements, it has to do with awards."

"I won a prize? No way, I don't have my share of the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or. Chen Yingying was a little surprised.

Just after the end of the Champions League, the major awards of world football have been released, and various award activities have appeared, which is the top event in world football in December.

In the World Footballer of the Year award, Chen Yingying once entered the shortlist of 50 people, but in the end he was still knocked down, after all, in addition to being young and scoring goals, he has no other achievements worth showing off, not even a championship, and it is not easy to enter the top 50 candidates.

However, experts in world football are very optimistic about Chen Yingying's future, as long as he can continue this development curve, he will definitely stand on that stage in the future.

After all, strikers who can score goals are always more likely to win awards than in other positions. In non-major years, a striker can win the World Footballer of the Year title as long as he scores enough goals, even if you don't win a single title...... In fact, even in a World Cup year, as long as you can score a goal and be famous enough, even if you don't win the World Cup, it is enough for you to win the Ballon d'Or.

In the selection of the World Footballer of the Year, Chen Yingying was only shortlisted in the top 50. He finished in the top 20 at the European Ballon d'Or Awards, but he was missing out on the historic award because of a lack of convincing performances. The difference in the qualifying rankings is due to the different selection mechanisms of the two awards.

The World Footballer of the Year is voted for by the managers and captains of national teams around the world, but their expertise varies depending on the level of football development in each country. The head coach and captain of a European powerhouse obviously have more say in who is the best in world football, but what professionalism do you expect from a national team coach like Tonga? can only vote by evaluating fame, the most ferocious hype by the media, their most familiar name, that is naturally the best in the world. Chen Yingying is still just a nobody in world football, and many people have never heard of his name, so he did not even enter the top 20 in the selection of World Footballer of the Year.

The European Ballon d'Or is voted for by senior sports media reporters from UEFA's 52 member states and the national "Team Newspaper" magazine, as a football journalist, of course, the professionalism is much higher than that of the national team managers and captains, and the selection criteria are not only fame. From their professional analysis, Chen Yingying obviously has more development potential in their eyes, so he ranks in the top 20. But it only has potential, so it's only in the top 20.

"It's not the World Footballer of the Year, it's not the European Ballon d'Or, it's ...... European Golden Boy Award. ”

Chen Yingying was stunned for a moment and patted his head. He remembered that this was still an award that had made him resentful.

The European Golden Boy Award is only given to players aged 21 and under who have played for European clubs. Founded in 2003 by Torino Sport, it sends votes to more than 30 leading European sports media outlets every year. The European Golden Boy Award is the most authoritative award for young players in European football, and the winner can even be called the "Young Footballer of the Year", representing the future of football. Almost all of the previous five electees have grown into first-class stars and even superstars in today's world football.

Vandert, Wayne Rooney, Messi, Bregas, Aguero, Anderson are all former winners ().

But when it came to the European Golden Boy Award, Chen Yingying was angry.

Why?

It's because it was supposed to be him who won the award last year, not Manchester United's Brazilian midfielder Anderson......

His performance in the first half of last year was simply brilliant, not only helping Zenit St. Petersburg win the UEFA Cup, but also becoming the best scorer since the restructuring of the League Cup, and also won the top scorer in the Russian Premier League in only 11 league games, such a performance, everyone thought that the 2008 European Golden Boy Award should be him.

Unexpectedly, after his transfer to Napoli in the second half of the year, his performance plummeted, and he was plagued by new circumstances and new tactics, and his performance was not satisfactory.

This also made his image in the eyes of the judges greatly reduced, and some media even thought that Chen Yingying was a meteor who didn't know him in the lower leagues, and could dominate for a while.

So, that year's European Golden Boy Award went to Manchester United's Anderson.

But Anderson's performance is far worse than Chen Yingying, he just joined Manchester United at a high price, which attracted the attention of many people.

So this made Chen Yingying very angry. He thinks that even if he only relies on his performance in the first half, he can win the European Golden Boy Award, the Golden Boy Award, the young players, the ups and downs of performance are understandable, it is normal, is it necessary to be so strict with the performance of the whole year?

He is well aware of the weight of the European Golden Boy Award, and any player who wins this award will go on a smooth path in the future. He also wanted to show off his abilities with an award......

But unfortunately, last year, this award was not awarded to him.

This year, it was finally given to him. Because his performance is not to be ignored - the first half of the year suddenly exploded, scoring 21 goals in the second half of the season, helping Napoli to qualify for the Champions League and also winning the top scorer in Serie A, he beat a long-established superstar like Ibrahimovic!

In the second half of the year, although his performance was slightly worse than the madness of the first half, he was still excellent - he is still number one in the Champions League scorer list and second in Serie A. His so-called "slightly worse" is compared to his own madness in the first half of the year, and he is still one of the best among his peers in European football.

Throughout the year, he won the European Golden Boy Award selected by more than 30 senior European sports media.

※※※

Won the European Golden Boy Award, although it was long overdue, but ...... That's good news.

After hanging up Dracula's phone, Chen Yingying thought.

The phone rang again.

This time it's an unfamiliar number.

After picking it up, it sounds pretty good.

"Hello, my hero."

Chen Yingying was stunned for a moment, such a bold title, who is this?

"Uh, I'm sorry I don't have your name, who are you?"

"I'm your trophy, sweetheart!"

The voice was so sweet that Chen Yingying, who was walking, had weak knees and almost stumbled......

Chen Yingying regained his footing under the strange gazes of his teammates, and he knew who the caller was.

There was a happy laugh over there: "Hahaha! Do you know who I am now, hero? ”

The voice had returned to normal, and it seemed that it was deliberately teasing him......

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Canari ()."

"Congratulations on winning the European Golden Boy Award, hero!"

Chen Yingying was a little surprised: "Has it been reported in the media?" He wondered if he should buy a newspaper and see what the media had to say about his winning the European Golden Boy Award.

Canali said, "There's no news in the media yet, but I want to be happy." As for how do I know...... You know, I've always been interested in you, and it just so happens that I have media friends I know, so ......"

Chen Yingying understood, people heard this in advance from the mouths of people who knew the inside story.

"So to congratulate you on winning the European Golden Boy Award, shouldn't we celebrate together?"

Here it comes!

Chen Yingying's heart jumped. He was still wondering if the other party would fulfill what she said before, but he didn't expect the other party to be so proactive.

This made him a little unsure of what to do.

Seeing that Chen Yingying didn't answer, Canali chuckled: "I've always heard that the hero is a master of love, how is it different from what I've heard?" ”

It's exciting, but it's effective. Because Chen Yingying thought to himself, isn't she just a woman, no matter how powerful she is, she just eats herself, what is there to be afraid of? And then again, it's not certain who eats whom......

"Just kidding, I'm just uh...... You name the time. ”

If you don't have a girl, Chen Yingying won't be so stupid. Since the other party took the initiative to invite, there is no reason for him to shrink his eggs.
