Chapter 89 Golden Globe Awards and Golden Boy Awards(1/2)
After December, the answer to the mystery has been revealed in various selection activities in the world football, especially in European football.
Although there is actually no suspense, the results of various awards were almost spoiled by the media before the award ceremony.
But everyone is still waiting for those days to come, just like this is an indispensable part of an important ceremony.
This year's glory can no longer be a newcomer. With his outstanding performance at Werder Bremen for two seasons, especially his amazing performance in the Champions League last season, more and more people around the world have known him and started to pay attention to him.
He has also been shortlisted for various awards this year.
For example, in the World Footballer selection event held by FIFA, Rongguang was included in the shortlist of 30 people.
This is also the second Chinese male football player to be on the shortlist after Gong Lei.
When this news was released in October, it made the Chinese media very excited and happy.
They also interviewed Gong Lei, who was the first candidate for Chinese football players in the world. Gong Lei, who is already a coach and TV commentator, also praised Rongguang very much, believed that Rongguang's selection was more valuable than his original selection.
After all, Gong Lei was nominated by the head coach of the Tahiti national team because of his performance in the French Tahiti League.
In the entire world football world, whether it is the league or the national team, French Tahiti is a marginal area. What is the value of this nomination?
Even Chinese fans themselves don't know that there is such a thing.
Of course it was 1993, and consulting was not as developed as it is now.
Gong Lei is also optimistic about Rongguang's performance in European football. As a predecessor, he wishes Rongguang better performing in Europe and achieve better results.
However, he did not mention the matter of Glory and the Chinese team. That was a sensitive topic, and Gong Lei also knew very well what the internal environment of Chinese football looked like. It may not be a good choice to come back to participate in the national team game...
In addition to the FIFA World Footballer selection, there is also the European Golden Ball Award selected by the French Football magazine.
This is considered to be a award that is far superior to the FIFA World Footballer Awards.
Many players even take pride in winning the European Golden Ball Awards, but don't care much about the World Footballer.
Of course, despite the strong push of FIFA, the World Footballer has been recognized by more people in recent years.
But when it comes to value, everyone will still think of the European Golden Globe Awards first.
On the list of 50 candidates for the European Golden Globes, Rongguang has also become the only Chinese player, and he is also the only Chinese player in the history of the European Golden Globes.
In addition, in the selection of the "World Best Player" by the British magazine World Football magazine, Rongguang has also entered the shortlist. As a player playing football in Germany, he can be voted on the shortlist by a reader group with the main target of English-speaking areas. It has to be said that Rongguang's influence has become increasingly global.
In addition to these, Honor has also been shortlisted for the European Golden Boy Award.
Although he has won the European Golden Boy Award once, this does not prevent him from continuing to be selected for the shortlist. Because the European Golden Boy Award does not stipulate that players who have won the award cannot be selected again. The only criterion for their selection is that they play for young players who are 21 years old in European clubs.
Rongguang is only twenty years old this year and meets the selection criteria, so he can naturally continue to be selected.
Last year, Rooney was the opponent who competed with Rongguang, and this time it was replaced by Messi who played for Barcelona.
But in fact... this is quite suspenseful...
Over the past year, Glory has performed well against Barcelona. He was a radiant star in those two games and was the one who could be on par with Ronaldinho.
And who is Messi? No one cared about it at that time.
Later in the World Youth Championship, Messi became famous for his outstanding performance in the late La Liga, but in a direct conversation with Rongguang, he was defeated by Rongguang with a hat trick. Messi only scored one penalty kick, and the gap between the two was too big.
So since those who have not won the Golden Boy Award once in the European Golden Boy Awards cannot win the rules again, why can't Honor defend its title?
The Golden Boy Award will be awarded on December 10th.
Rongguang indeed defeated Messi and won the European Golden Boy Award.
The defending European Golden Boy Award surprised the media and not surprised.
Not surprised, it is said that everyone has seen Rong Guang's performance this year. Among the players under the age of 21, no one can do better than him. In the first half of the year, Werder Bremen defended the league championship and won the Champions League Golden Boot for the first time in the Champions League. In the summer, he led the unpopular Chinese youth team in the Netherlands to defeat many strong opponents and won the World Youth Championship.
After transferring to Bayern Munich in the second half of the season, he quickly became the main core of the Bayern Munich giants.
Such performance is worthy of the Golden Boy Award.
If the first time he won the award would make the English media dissatisfied. This time he won the award again, neither the Catalan nor the Argentine media had much to say.
The surprise was because Glory created a "first" in the short history of the European Golden Boy Awards - the first player to defend the European Golden Boy Awards.
Some media joked that fortunately Glory will be 21 years old next year, otherwise wouldn’t he be given a European Golden Boy Award three consecutive wins?
Doesn’t that seem to be deserted in Europe?

The European Golden Boy Awards were awarded before the competition, so before the match against Bayern Munich to Mainz at home, Rongguang took over the Golden Boy Awards from the editor-in-chief of Turin Sports.
Fifty thousand Bayern Munich fans witnessed the scene.
Then in the game, Rong Guang assisted Lucas to score, helping Bayern Munich defeat Mainz 2l and win.
This was originally very beautiful.
But soon, Rongguang's good mood to win the Golden Boy Award disappeared.
Because "Milan Sports" disclosed in advance that AC Milan's Kaka has great hope of winning the European Golden Globe Award
Of course, Rongguang knew that the European Golden Globe Award was better than the European Golden Boy Award. You should know that when Turin Sports first started, it was considered to be the European Golden Globe Award under the age of 21...
It is clear at a glance who is better and who is worse.
It looks like his European Golden Baby Award is like Kaka's European Golden Ball Award
Too unhappy

Deborah was surprised when she found out that Rong Guang was actually watching the European Golden Globe Awards ceremony in front of the TV.
Because it was rumored in the media before, Kaka will win the European Golden Globe Award, which is no suspense.
So Debola didn't understand why Rongguang paid attention to such a suspenseless thing.
If you don't know that Kaka has almost won the European Golden Globe Award, it's understandable that Rongguang wants to see his joke.
But now Rongguang must have known that Kaka has won the European Golden Globe Awards. What's the point of watching this live broadcast?
Based on Deborah's understanding of Rongguang, she felt that Rongguang could not come to accept Kaka's "humiliation".
So why does Rongguang still have to stay in front of the TV to watch Kaka's glory moments?
At this time, the host's excited voice came from the TV: "The winner of the 205 European Golden Globe Awards is... Kaka"
There was thunderous applause at the scene.
Kaka got up from his seat, wearing a black Armani suit, he was tall and handsome, with a handsome face, red lips and white teeth, and a smile as if he was a flowery.
He waved to those who applauded him, and walked towards the rostrum with a shy smile on his face.
Debola glanced at the TV screen, then noticed that Rong Guang, who was sitting on the sofa, clenched his fists into fists and placed them on his thighs.
He cares a lot...
But why do you still need to watch it?

Kaka walked onto the podium and shook hands with UEFA President Johnson, who presented the awards, and took a golden football trophy from him.
When Johnson gave him the trophy, he said congratulations.
Kaka also smiled and said thank you.
Then he turned around with the trophy in his hand and faced the audience.
The lights that shot from the seats on the second floor above were a little dazzling, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
The pinnacle of a player's personal honor.
I've come here.
But for some reason, when Kaka held this somewhat chilling trophy in his hand, the first thing he thought of was the guy in Munich.
I wonder if he was watching TV at this time?
If you see it, what will you feel?
Ah, it's a pity that I can't see the expression on his face at this time...
Envy or not?
Jealous or not?
Humph, I'm still one step ahead of you
Want to surpass me?
You have to work harder
"Thank God, when I started playing football in Sao Paulo, what I dreamed of was to be able to wear the jersey of the Brazilian national team and play a game of the Brazilian national team... I just asked God for a tree, but God gave me a forest..."
He held the Golden Globe Award and smiled happily.

"Ba." Rongguang finally couldn't help it, and he got up and turned off the TV.
To be continued...
