Chapter 123, The Golden Boy Award Is Just The Beginning....
Chapter 123, The Golden Boy Award is just the beginning.
December is award season.
Many blockbuster awards are featured in this season episode.
Among the awards of the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
Li Ao was selected for the final 30-man list.
But everyone knows.
Li Ao is not enough to shake the positions of Messi and Ronaldo.
At least not this year.
He has good statistics, but lacks hard enough collective honor.
So Li Ao's entry into the final list is considered pretty good.
Many people even think that Li Ao should be quite high in the final voting ranking, at least he can advance!
If Li Ao, who has just passed his 18th birthday, can win the final FIFA Ballon d'Or-this award that was merged from the original Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, it will be his brother.
That's really promising.
Even many world football experts believe that Li Ao will not be too far away from challenging Messi and Ronaldo.
"In three years! He will be in the top three of the Ballon d'Or!"
This is the assertion of Hofstede, the editor-in-chief of the authoritative media "442".
Actually just a week ago.
"442" made a selection of the top ten rising stars under the age of 20.
The first place is Li Ao.
Behind Li Ao are Neymar, Pogba, Isco and others.
It can be said that these experts are quite optimistic about the future of Li Ao.
I think that if he maintains the current development curve, the time to stand on the final stage will definitely not be too far away.
Of course.
Whether you can win the Golden Globe, you have to compete with Messi and Ronaldo, two phenomenal monsters.
690 is very difficult.
But this at least shows that Li Ao will have this qualification soon.
Li Ao, who entered the top 30 in the FIFA Ballon d'Or, also entered the top 20 in the UEFA Ballon d'Or.
The UEFA Ballon d'Or is an award launched by UEFA to compete with the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
In fact, the two will often overlap.
Of course.
There are also times when it is different.
Because the selection mechanism of the two awards is different.
The FIFA Ballon d'Or is voted by the head coaches and captains of national teams all over the world, and authoritative media in FIFA member countries.
The votes of coaches and captains, as well as the votes of authoritative media occupy a certain proportion respectively.
However, due to the different levels of football development in various countries, their professional knowledge is also uneven. The head coaches and captains of strong European teams obviously have more say in who is the best in world football, but what professional qualities do you expect from coaches of national teams like Tonga? They can only be voted by evaluating their reputation, and the media hype The most vicious, their most familiar names, are naturally the best in the world.
After all, Li Ao only started to make his mark in European football this year.
You expect him to compete with Messi and Ronaldo in terms of fame, which is unrealistic.
But the European Ballon d'Or.
Li Ao has a good chance to enter the top five.
Because the selection of the European Ballon d'Or is based on the votes of the 52 European member states' own sports media reporters, as well as the authoritative media "L'Equipe".
There is no need to doubt the professionalism of these football experts.
The selection criteria are not just fame. They analyze it professionally.
Among the options, Li Ao (cdfd) is very favored by experts.
However, due to the lack of honors that can be obtained, it is impossible for him to win the award.
And the European Golden Boy Award.
Only awarded to players aged 21 and under playing for European clubs. Founded by "Turin Sport" in 2003, it sends votes to more than 30 well-known European sports media every year. The European Golden Boy Award is the most authoritative selection award for young players in European football. The winners can even be called "Mr. Young Footballers", representing the future of football. Almost all of the former five candidates have grown into top football stars, even superstars in today's world football.
Van der Vaart, Rooney, Messi, Fabregas, Aguero, Anderson are all former winners.
Among the players under the age of 21.
Li Ao's performance is absolutely crushing.
No one can compete with him for this year's Golden Boy Award.
If it weren't for the Golden Boy Award not being reissued.
Li Ao can even monopolize this award for four consecutive years.....
From 18 to 21 years old.
So this season he won the award, it can be said that there is no surprise at all.
There are still two games in the first half of the Bundesliga, and in addition the team will play an away game in the Champions League.
In the sixteenth round of the league, the team played away to Augsburg.
Although Li Ao is missing.
But Bayern Munich's strength is still very strong.
They beat their opponents 2-0 in the away game without bloodshed.
Immediately afterwards was a Champions League game, and the team played away against Borisov in the last round.
Originally, Heynckes planned to play all the substitutes and reserve players for this game.
Because Bayern Munich has locked the first place in the group.
Why waste the physical energy of the main force?
But Li Ao was suspended for three games in the Bundesliga, so Li Ao also went away with the reserve team and a few substitute players.
Poor Borisov had one draw and four losses in the previous five games, and they just drew with Galatasaray at home.
They would have had a chance to get a win against the Bayern reserves.
result………
Li Ao, who was suspended for three games, vented all his physical strength in this and that game.
He got two assists in the game and scored one goal himself.
A three-to-zero victory was achieved.
All six games in the group stage are over.
Bayern Munich has five wins and one draw.
Scored 16 points and topped the group standings.
And Li Ao himself scored 7 goals and 5 assists in 6 games!
In the scorer list, he is tied with Ronaldo for the first place in the scorer list "Messi, who scored 6 goals, ranked second.
At the same time, Li Ao is tied for first place with Messi in the assist list.
Li Ao has shown strong competitiveness in both lists.
Some people feel the power of Li Ao.
Back to the Bundesliga.
The opponent in the last round of the league in the first half was Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Li Ao was also suspended for this game and could not play.
But before the game.
At the Allianz Arena.
In front of more than 70,000 fans, Li Ao accepted the European Golden Boy Award from "Torino Sport".
The European Golden Boy Awards look somewhat similar to the European Golden Globes.
There is a golden football placed on the cup holder.
Li Ao lifted the trophy in front of tens of thousands of fans.
To all the fans for now.
Fans at the Allianz Arena cheered.
The only thing that makes them regret is.
Now Li Ao is still staying at Bayern as a loan player.
It would be even better if he can sign a contract with Bayern.
But unfortunately.
This game is due to the absence of Li Ao.
The opponent Borussia is not an underdog like Augsburg.
Therefore, Bayern Munich, which lacked an offensive organization, was finally tied 1-1 by Borussia.
On the other side, Dortmund has won two consecutive victories.
Although it is said that Bayern Munich finally won the half-time league championship.
But Dortmund's bite is tight here.
They are only two points behind Bayern Munich!
With a difference of two points, they continue to rank second in the league standings.
after the game.
When Li Ao, who was sitting in the stands, left the field.
Surrounded by reporters at the entrance of the players' tunnel.
These reporters have already stopped and stepped on the spot.
Li Ao will definitely go to the locker room after the game.
So this is a must for him.
Facing the microphones of the reporters.
Li Ao shook the Golden Boy Award trophy in his hand.
"Yes, I am very happy to receive this award, thanks to "Torino Sport", you are really discerning and professional!"
Li Ao said with a smile.
Many Longguo media couldn't help but smile wryly when they heard what Li Ao said.
This guy Li Ao is fundamentally different from the traditional Dragon Kingdom players.
It doesn't even have much character from the Dragon Kingdom.
According to the posture of the general dragon country when accepting the award.
Don't be humble, and then say something like keep working hard.
Wherever it comes up, it praises "Turino Sport" for its vision.
This kind of boasting is not humble at all.
It's not enough to make the Longguo reporters even more restless.
modesty?
What is humility?
Li Ao knows.
It's no use being humble yourself as a footballer.
There is no room for humility in football.
This is a sport that requires a lot of subjective initiative.
There is no way to be humble.
"How long do you think it will take you to win the Ballon d'Or?"
a reporter asked.
The reason why someone asks this.
It is because many media now believe that after Messi and Ronaldo, the player who is most likely to win the Ballon d'Or is Li Ao.
"I don't know if I need this, but... as long as I continue to play at a high level, this Golden Boy award will become a Golden Globe!"
Li Ao said while waving the Golden Boy Award trophy.
the next day.
Some reporters expressed emotion in the media.
..... When he debuted in the top league, he won the Premier League title and Europa League title. He is also the assist leader in the Premier League. You know, he only spent three months playing to win the assist title! This season, Li Ao even ranked first in the Bundesliga and Champions League in terms of scorers and assists! Such a powerful all-round midfielder is too rare now, and he is top-notch in all statistics!!”
.....This is the most talented midfielder in the past fifty years. Perhaps as he said, the European Golden Boy Award is just the beginning, not the end...."
