Chapter 175 European Golden Boy Award

There was a day off after the home game, and Lin Yi's life didn't change much. He just went shopping in the supermarket and went out for a meal.

But the entire Premier League was shaken by the game last night.

Early in the morning, the Chelsea club announced on their official website that their coach Villas-Boas had been fired, and the second-tier coach Di Matteo would lead the team until the end of the season.

If a wealthy club changes coaches midway, it is very likely that the entire season will collapse.

The English media is now giving Lin Yi a new nickname, "Coach Killer".

In this season, Blackburn coach Steve Keane, Bolton coach Sani Coyle, and Chelsea coach Villas-Boas were all fired after the match against Everton. In addition, Dalglish also announced after the Merseyside derby that he would resign when the team returned to the winning track.

Without exception, Lin Yi played a vital role when the above four teams played against Everton, so it is not polite to say that Lin Yi killed four head coaches, and he deserves the title of "coach killer".

Another thing that the media is hyping up is that when Lin Yi is facing a strong team, as long as he is on the court, he will keep scoring goals every game.So Ji Dong is undoubtedly a "strong team killer".

Whether Boas dismissed get out of class or the media criticized Chelsea players, Lin Yi was not interested at all.

However, Lin Yi is very concerned about the topics of the "Sun" and "The Times" about the AFC's 2011 Asian Footballer of the Year selection.

At the Finch Farm training base, the players after lunch are playing their favorite game Doudizhu to relax.

"Lin, have you heard that the "Times" claimed that there was a problem with the selection of the Asian Footballer of the Year. They thought you were the Asian Footballer of the Year last year, so they are going to sue FIFA to seek justice for you."

Fluffy threw out three 6s and 1s, and introduced the latest news to Lin Yi while eating melon seeds.

"The weasel gave the chicken New Year's greetings, no good intentions! The fucking "Times" hates me. They don't have a channel to sue FIFA. They just want the AFC to hate me, and then they can eat melons and watch the show."

Lin Yi is also very helpless about this kind of thing. Everyone knows that there is a problem with the AFC, but Lin Yi really has nothing to do with the AFC now.

If Lin Yi can win the European Ballon d'Or one day, he doesn't believe that the AFC dare not give him the title of Asian Footballer. In short, take your time.Mountains and rivers meet each other, and there is always a time when the AFC is slapped in the face.

"Because you only played in Europe for half a year last year, you have no chance of being selected for the 30-man squad for the Ballon d'Or, otherwise you would definitely be a popular candidate. But it doesn't matter, the European Golden Boy Award will be announced soon, and this depends on more data. The people who are generally optimistic about you are you and the German personality. If you can win this award, it is definitely not what the AFC wants to see."

Lin Yi's heart was moved when he heard the words, yes, this so-called Golden Globe Award for under 21 years old is the greatest praise for young players, if he can really win this award, it can be regarded as a glory for the country.

Ji Dong is looking forward to it!It's just that he didn't expect to face the AFC so quickly.

……

February 2th is Valentine's Day, and Zhao Liying specially flew to the UK one day in advance to spend with Lin Yi. This is the best Valentine's Day gift that Lin Yi has received.

But on this day, Ji Dong also received a special Valentine's Day gift.Italy's "Torino Sport" announced on its official website and headlines at the same time that the winner of the European Golden Boy in 2011 is Lin Yi from China.

Once the news was sent out, the parties behaved differently.

First of all, Lin Yi's club Manchester United and current club Everton immediately reposted this exciting news on their official websites. They thanked the European media for choosing their own players, and then they congratulated Lin Yi and hoped that one day Lin Yi could go towards the Ballon d'Or.

In addition to the club, the fans also took action. Everyone forwarded the news that Lin Yi won the Golden Boy Award, but the Everton fans felt sour. Counting the days when Lin Yi wore the Everton jersey is becoming less and less.

On the contrary, the Manchester United jersey can't wait for the arrival of summer, and they look forward to the moment when Lin Yi puts on the Manchester United red jersey.

In addition to these two clubs, the Premier League and the Football Association also called for Lin Yi to win the European Golden Boy Award on their respective platforms. This is also the honor that Lin Yi has won for the Premier League and English football.

Lin Yi is the ninth winner of the European Golden Boy Award since its establishment, and he is the fifth player to win this honor as a Premier League player. Compared with the Golden Globe Award, the Golden Boy Award has limited influence, so the English media turned their attention away after reporting for a day.

My own children love themselves.It is not surprising that Lin Yi won the European Golden Boy Award. The English media is not surprised, but the Chinese media is rare!

As a Chinese, Lin Yi made history. Before that, no Asian could win an official individual award established by any media in Europe. This is the first in China, and also the first in Asia. It can be said that Lin Yi’s European Golden Boy Award is no less than the Athens Olympic gold medal won by Liu Xiang.

Ji Dong has many highlight moments, but this time is his current peak. The reason is very simple, because he is alone on the news network.

"BJ time at 2:00 this afternoon, the world-renowned media, Italy's "Turin Sports News" announced the winners of the 2011 European Golden Boy Award. The famous Chinese football player Lin Yi defeated the German genius Mario Gotze and the Spanish super rookie Thiago Alcantara.

The European Golden Boy Award was founded by the Italian "Turin Sports" in 2003. More than 50 important football media in Europe voted to select the best young player of the year. It is also considered the Golden Globe Award for young rookies.The selection objects must be young players under the age of 21 playing for UEFA clubs.

Since the establishment of the European Golden Boy Award, 9 winners have been produced, and the top 8 are from Europe and South America. Lin Yi’s election in 2011 broke the monopoly of European and South American players on the Golden Boy Award for the first time.

The passionate voice of the host team combined with Lin Yi's various highlight highlights in 2011, the image of Lin Yi in the hearts of the people all over the country has become more plump and stalwart.

In Lin Yi’s hometown in Tongcheng, Lin Xin in front of the TV never thought that his son could have such a good reputation. In his opinion, no matter how much money his son earns, it is not as great as the honor he brought in this short 1-minute news broadcast. At this moment, as a father, he burst into tears.

In addition to the news broadcast, various official media such as "People's Daily" and "Xinhua News Agency" published news about Lin Yi's election to the European Golden Boy Award the next day.

The official reports are solemn but less festive, while the reports from the Internet are completely different.

"Oh, I'll go, Lin Yi is awesome, this time the golden boy, next time will be the golden ball!"

"Jing Yi, he is not fighting alone, he is not alone..."

"Upstairs, he is not alone, so what kind of species is he?"

"Warmly congratulate the young master for winning the European Golden Boy Award, and the tribal brothers sent a congratulatory message."

"This is the best Valentine's Day gift I've ever given my husband."

"Fuck upstairs, Lin Yi has a wife, okay? Besides, who knows if you are a big man who picks your feet."

……

In just one day, news related to Lin Yi's Golden Boy award occupied the hot search lists on Weibo and Baidu, and even captured the young people's circle of friends.

Some are happy and some are sad, not everyone is happy to see Lin Yi's award, such as the German media.

The second-ranked Mario Gotze can be regarded as a representative of a genius who became famous as a teenager. Gotze, who is the same age as Lin Yi, joined Dortmund's main lineup in 2011 and played brilliantly. If there is no Lin Yi's half-way breakthrough and crushing statistics, Gotze will undoubtedly be elected.

Although Gotze did not win the award, the German media was very unhappy, but the German media still showed a very professional attitude. While regretting, they still agreed with Lin Yi's election.

The Germans who have enough reasons to be unhappy know how to respect objective facts and justice, but the two neighbors in China don't see it that way.

It may be that they cannot accept the fact that the first Asian player to be elected to the Golden Boy Award is a Chinese. The Japanese media and the Korean media have a very rare unified concept, and they disagree.

The reasons given by the media of the two countries are the same, that is, although Lin Yi has excellent statistics in 2011, he has not won any important championships, not even the low-level Chinese Super League championship, so he is not worthy of the Golden Boy Award at all.

Facing the sour grapes from the Japanese and South Korean media, the Chinese media responded. Aguero and Rooney, who had previously won the Golden Boy Award, also won nothing in the year they won the award. It can be seen that whether they win the championship is not the criterion for judging at all.

So a new round of war between China, Japan and South Korea started again.

Who is the most embarrassing one at the moment?
That is definitely the AFC!

The 2011 AFC awards presentation party is about to be held. They were very angry that Lin Yi didn't come, but now they wish that Lin Yi would not attend.

The European Golden Boy Award is an honor that has never been seen in Asia. Such a player is not even selected for the top three Asian Footballer of the Year. How can you convince the world of this selection result? Therefore, Lin Yi must not be present.

Stupid AFC officials must not know that there is an idiom in China called burying ears and stealing bells, which is used to describe their behavior.

But no matter what, all kinds of things between Ji Dong and the AFC have been publicized by those who are interested in making the whole world know. So far, Ji Dong has been blacklisted by the AFC again.

……

February 2012, 2 is a day worth remembering by all Chinese football fans.

In one of the 1/8 finals of the FA Cup, Everton played against the Championship team Blackpool at home.Before the start of the game, the starting players from both Everton and Blackpool lined up in two rows to welcome the new European golden boy Lin Yi. With excitement, Lin Yi shook hands with every Blackpool starting player to express his gratitude.

Lin Yi took over the trophy presented by Mr. Sensi Corolla, the editor-in-chief of "Turin Sports News", and carefully looked at the trophy, which was somewhat similar to the Golden Globe Award. Lin Yi couldn't help kissing the golden ball affectionately. Lin Yi secretly vowed in his heart that he must win the real European Golden Globe Award in the future.

The flashes of the media cameras on the sidelines frantically flashed, and a photo of Lin Yi kissing the trophy was captured by a Chinese reporter and was later named the best moment of Chinese sports in 2012.

When Ji Dong raised the trophy high, the cheers of the audience reached its climax, and "Song of Lin" also sounded in due course.

When the singing paused and the applause paused, the on-site host handed Lin Yi a microphone, and the scene immediately fell silent. They all wanted to hear the acceptance speech of the Shinco Golden Boy.

"Lin, congratulations, now share your happiness with the fans!"

"Thank you! First of all, I want to thank my family and girlfriend. It is their support and understanding that allow me to concentrate on the game in the stadium. My girlfriend is in the stands at the moment, I love you baby!"

Lin Yi's confession of true feelings broke the hearts of many girls, but everyone still applauded the beautiful oriental girl who was moved to tears on the big screen, and thanked her for her efforts to allow Lin Yi to concentrate on playing football.

"Then I would like to thank the entire staff of Gazzetta dello Sport, all the news outlets who participated in the vote, and thank you for the recognition of my work.

I would also like to thank all the fans who support me, whether they are fans of Guangzhou Evergrande or the Chinese team, or all the fans of Manchester United and Everton.

Thank you to the Everton coaching staff and my dear team-mates, thank you all for your help and support, without you I would not have won this award.

By the way, I would like to thank Mr. Bernant, the doorman at the training base. He has worked for Everton Club for 27 years, and his working age is 7 years older than mine. Thank you for always waiting for me to leave before you can leave work. Sometimes you also help me clean up the equipment on the court.Thank you Mr. Bernante, he also came to the stadium today, the director please show him a shot, he is sitting next to my girlfriend and agent. "

Elder Bernant next to Ding Weijie got up and waved his thanks to all the fans, who responded with the most sincere applause and blessings.

"Finally, I would like to thank Everton fans again. I don't know how many games I can play for Everton. This trophy is for you. I hope you like it. Thank you!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Yi kissed the trophy again and bowed to the fans.

With happiness and a touch of sadness, the Everton players finally thought about it, let's talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow, at least now Lin belongs to us Everton.

The award ceremony ended with applause from all the fans. Lin Yi handed over the golden and heavy trophy to his teammates on the bench for safekeeping, and then went back to the field to prepare for the game.

　It would be great if there could be a monster in reality to win the Golden Boy Award, bless Chinese football.Ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets!
