I don't know which little guy is sharp-eyed, and during a break in a training session, he found Iroh wearing sunglasses.

Immediately, Iroh had to accept the invitation of the players and coaches of Team B to have a unique confrontation with Team B, and the result was naturally needless to say, the gap between Team B's strength and the first team was still obvious.

So Iroh's team should be a big win over their opponents.

After the training, Wang Xiaolei also experienced the feeling of sitting in a top-level sports car again.

"Brother Ai, I must become a star as powerful as you in the future!"

"Why?"

"Because you can drive a supercar!"

"Virtue!"

As everyone knows, Ailuo's current treatment has given the young Wang Xiaolei a goal to pursue.

……

……

Ten days passed quickly.

Iroh had a very good time in the past ten days, usually either strengthening his training in the system or going to the B team or the youth team.

As for why you went to the youth team?

That's because there are new faces of young Chinese players in the youth team - Wu Xi and Jiang Zhipeng.

At that time, Elo had gone to the youth team to visit his mentors Antonio López and Juan Pizzi, but he was shocked to think that there were young players from South Korea or Japan in the youth team.

Later, I learned that after the club's senior management poached a talented player like Wang Xiaolei from China, they also tasted the sweetness, so they increased their search for Chinese players, and happened to find two talented people at Xu Gengbao's football base.

According to Antonio López's rhetoric, in fact, the team also took a fancy to two other young players, Wu Lei and **Peng, but Xu Gengbao, the helmsman of Xu Gengbao's football base who was in an economic crisis, was only willing to sell Wu Xi and Jiang Zhipeng, so there was no way to do it now, after all, he was not familiar with life, so he could only bring two of them back to Valencia first.

At that time, Ai Luo smiled, Xu Geng Baoken sold Wu Xi and Jiang Zhipeng for two million yuan, and if he wanted to pack Wu Lei and ** Peng by the way, don't even think about it.

However, this also sounded the alarm for Ailuo, Wu Lei and ** Peng are also quite outstanding among the domestic players in later generations, if they can accept the baptism of foreign advanced football before they become adults, they will definitely grow much faster than in China.

So Iello gave a builder to Antonio López, trying to see if it was possible to establish a cooperative relationship with Xu Gengbao Football Base, and it would be much more convenient for him to ask for someone at that time.

Xu Gengbao has been sharpening his sword on Chongming Island for ten years, isn't it for the sake of Chinese football?

At that time, as long as the time is ripe, I believe that Xu Gengbao will not embarrass his disciples.

After all, he is also a person from the past, and knows that European football is the center of world football, and only by accepting the baptism of Europe's top football will the domestic football level improve rapidly.

In fact, what Iroh didn't know was that because of his small butterfly, he had already caused considerable changes, and more and more young players had appeared in the youth team of the European Star Factory.

The international break is over, but there is not good news for Valencia, as Germany international Ballack strained his thigh muscle during a European Championship qualifier and is conservatively estimated to need two weeks of rest.

And David Villa also has a little bit of a minor injury, so Flores didn't include him in the 18-man squad for the sixth round of the league just to be on the safe side.

After all, the opponent in this game is not strong, it is Celta, who have been hovering in the relegation zone in the past five rounds of the league.

In addition, four days later, they will host their third opponent in the Champions League, Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine, and they cannot afford to focus too much on the league and ignore the more important Champions League.

However, before the sixth round of La Liga was fully opened, the football media around the world began to be active.

Because the 30-man shortlist of World Footballer of the Year has been released.

Four of these clubs occupy almost two-thirds of the places, with England's Chelsea taking the most with five, followed by AC Milan, Barcelona and Valencia, who were impressive on last season's table, all contributing four players each.

If you go by the actual number, Valencia only contributed three players, because Ballack previously played for Bayern Munich and had nothing to do with his table in Valencia, and the three players who actually contributed were undisputed, namely David Villa, Albelda and Elo.

When the list of World Footballer of the Year came out, the local media in Valencia and the media from China were full of joy, especially the Chinese media.

It's hard to describe how excited you are.

In the history of Chinese football, no player has been widely recognized, and Iello was nominated for the World Footballer of the Year to officially represent the beginning of Chinese football to the world.

Finally, those arrogant Europeans with white skin and high nose bridge can know that Chinese football is not useless!

Although as early as 1993, Gong Lei was nominated as a candidate for World Footballer by the head coach of the Tahiti national team for his outstanding performance in the Tahiti League.

But this nomination can basically be regarded as a joke, because the Tahiti league is not the world's top league at all, and even China's fledgling league A at that time was much more influential than the Tahitian league.

Valencia, on the other hand, won La Liga and the Copa del Rey in the 05-06 season, and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, but was unlucky not to reach the final.

You must know that Valencia had such a result last season, which is directly related to the performance of Aillo, who trampled on the single-season goal record in La Liga and the Champions League single-season goal record in the first full season of his career, which has already set off a huge storm in international football.

Iroh was not selected for the national team, but that did not prevent the head coach and captain of other national teams from nominating him.

Because his performance last season was obvious to all, if he didn't get nominated, then it would definitely set off a shady curtain against FIFA.

*****

The next day, Iello was surrounded by a swarm of Chinese reporters.

For the excited Chinese reporters, Iello also had empathy, so he did not refuse interviews with these reporters, but the order at that time was too chaotic, in order to make the press conference a formal occasion, he deliberately arranged this press conference in the afternoon of the same day.

Of course, these are not done by Ai Luo himself, otherwise the agent team he set up will become a decoration, and this press conference is also a test for him to his press officer Luo Xiaowen.

What he didn't expect was that at the personal press conference in the afternoon, it was arranged very properly and meticulously, which made him very satisfied with this press officer.

As we all know, in a major year like the World Cup, no matter how good you play in the league or the Champions League, as long as you don't play well in the World Cup, then you will definitely not be elected.

The World Footballer of the Year is an exclusive honor for players who have performed well in the World Cup.

So when holding a personal press conference, Iroh was very calm, and was not complacent because of being nominated, but was interviewed with a surprise gesture, and the answer was relatively official, "Being nominated for the World Footballer of the Year is already an affirmation of my efforts throughout the season, but in a major year like the World Cup, it is already my best effort to be on the initial 30-man shortlist, and at the same time, I also hope that everyone will not have too much hope for this, haha...... You know what I want to mean! ”

The people who came to the scene are all Chinese reporters, Ailo naturally spoke Chinese, and the scene of the press conference also ended in a happy way, they are all smart people, although Ailo had a god-like performance last season, but the World Footballer is not European Footballer, so the World Footballer who was elected this year must be a player who has an outstanding performance in the World Cup in Germany this summer.

Although Chinese football fans who follow football know that the winners in a major tournament year like the World Cup are players who have played well in the World Cup, they still can't help but fantasize.

On that day, the headlines of the sports pages throughout China were given to Irolog.

As a result, his popularity in China has skyrocketed again, and it is said that the report of Li Shiyin, the agent in China, is now basically calling every minute to inquire about the possibility of inviting Ailuo to endorse.

****

In the frenzy of China, Iello has already travelled with the team to the city of Vigo in the autonomous region of Galicia to start their sixth round of league campaign.

Valencia did not field their full squad in this game, but with a semi-main lineup, and finally won two goals away from Celta with goals from Morientes and Elo.

After this match, the media in Europe was alive again.

Because the 50-man squad for the European Golden Globe Awards is also out.

The most eye-catching of these is France's largest selection of 11 players, with Zinedine Zidane, who has retired, accounting for exactly one-fifth of the 50-man shortlist, followed by Italy, who won the World Cup this summer, with seven selections, and England, Spain and Germany each with five players.

Of course, this is not enough to excite journalists from China.

The most exciting thing is the last row of the 50-person shortlist given by "French Football" on the official website, because Elo's name is impressively listed!

And the comment given by "French Football" is quite optimistic about him, and the official reply attached to the bottom of the official website says: "For Valencia's star Ai, last season was a perfect season, 44 league goals and 16 Champions League goals, both of which set a new record for a long time, becoming the youngest to hold two records, and his club Valencia also won the Spanish double title last season, and he is still in excellent form this season, He has scored 13 goals in six league games and five goals in two games in the Champions League, and he is in great form......

Compared to the official responses of other candidates, Iello's statement is more convincing.

That's why Chinese journalists are excited.

At the same time, because the selection body of the European Footballer of the Year is more professional than the selection body of the World Footballer, the comments given are also more authoritative.

All in all, this day is another night for Chinese fans.

There is one person, in distant Europe, for the sake of Chinese football, to move in that great direction, to continue to move forward!

PS: Ask for tickets!!
