"On the afternoon of December 22nd, bj time, Italy's "Turin Sports News" announced the winner of the 2012 European Golden Boy Award. Schalke 04 supernova Yang Feng beat Isco and El Shaarawi to win this heavyweight honor.

The scores of the three are: Yang Feng 266 points, Isco 62 points, and Shalawi 60 points.

This is the most disparate selection since the birth of the Golden Boy Awards.

Malaga has historically reached the top 16 of the Champions League this season. As the core of the team, Isco has 2 goals and 2 assists in the first 4 games. He is an important contributor to the team qualifying two rounds ahead of schedule; in La Liga, Malaga currently ranks

Ranked fourth, although Isco only scored 3 goals and 1 assist, his role in the team is far more important than the data reflects.

The 20-year-old El Shaarawy ranks first in Serie A's top scorer list with 14 goals in 17 games. His outstanding performance has repeatedly saved the AC Milan team and he is one of the most eye-catching rising stars in today's football.

So it's not that the opponent is not good enough, but that Yang Feng is too dazzling.

Halfway through the schedule, the Chinese forward has scored 22 goals in the league and 6 goals in the Champions League. In addition to two hat tricks in the German Super Cup and the European Super Cup, he has scored 22 goals for Schalke 04 this season.

34 goals.

This is also his total number of goals last season.

The efficiency has almost doubled compared to last season. The progress has been so rapid that no one expected it.

In addition, Bundesliga runner-up, Europa League champion, German Super Cup champion, European Super Cup champion, European Super Cup fastest goal record, Bundesliga farthest goal record, Bundesliga fastest hat trick record, five major league consecutive goal records, etc.

Wait, Yang Feng is definitely one of the most shocking football stars in 2012.

Of course, without the most important league championship and Champions League championship, the Chinese's 2012 was not perfect, but for a young man who will only turn 19 in more than three months, we can no longer ask for more from him.

Attached are the previous European Golden Boy Award winners:

Year/winner/date of birth/nationality/currently playing for/club when winning the award

2011/Götze/June 3, 1992/Germany/Dortmund/Dortmund

2010/Balotelli/August 12, 1990/Italy/Manchester City/Manchester City

2009/Pato/September 2, 1989/Brazil ac Milan/ac Milan

…”

Nowadays, Pato, Balotelli, Gotze and others have not yet begun to be forgotten by everyone. Naturally, the Golden Boy Award has not yet become the Water Boy Award in the future, and its gold content is still very high.

The system is also quite generous, awarding 6 points, which is the same as the reward for breaking the consecutive scoring records in the five major leagues.

This year's winter break is from December 19th to January 17th, which is almost a month. Just because the time is staggered with the domestic winter vacation, and there is no habit of celebrating Christmas, so Yang Feng did not take advantage of this

Returning to China during a rare holiday.

The Bundesliga teams have gradually started their Christmas celebrations, which are mainly based on various dinner parties. Everyone else brings their families, except Yang Feng, who is single. Since he is not cold about this holiday, he naturally follows suit.

There is a lack of interest in this kind of activity, and it is basically a state of forced business.

After Christmas, Yang Feng went to Italy to receive the Golden Boy Award trophy, and then went for a trip to Switzerland.

In addition to looking at the scenery to wash my eyes, I also went to learn skiing and experienced another kind of excitement different from green competition.

Then comes the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, which attracts worldwide attention.

Both Yang Feng and Huntelaar were shortlisted for this year's Golden Globe Awards. Yang Feng even made it to the final 23-man list, and was also shortlisted for the Puskas Award and Best Team, so he naturally received the invitation.

In the past, few Chinese fans watched the entire Golden Globe Awards live broadcast. At most, they would get up the next day to watch the news and see who finally won the trophy. But this year is different. Many people stayed early to watch.

in front of the screen, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

CCTV, Tencent Sports, Sina Sports and other well-known domestic media have sent professional teams to broadcast the entire event live.

When given a choice, most people habitually turn on the TV and tune to CCTV5.

He Shi was in the live broadcast room, while Duan Xuan went to the award ceremony.

“Let’s first introduce the origin of the FIFA Ballon d’Or.

Before 2010, there were two most important individual awards in world football. One was the European Golden Globe Award organized by "France Football" and selected by major sports media people. The other was organized by FIFA and was awarded by various countries.

The World Footballer of the Year is selected by team coaches and captains. However, starting from 2010, these two awards have been merged, and the selection rules are also a combination of the two. The final Ballon d'Or will be composed of 208 national team captains and 208 national team coaches.

and voted by 208 media outlets.

This selection does not limit those under the age of 21, and it does not even limit Europe. It is hosted by FIFA and selected from all over the world. Even Drogba who plays for the Chinese Super League and Neymar of the Brazilian League have entered the candidate list. It can be seen that the selection

The scope is so wide.

As for Yang Feng, who everyone is most concerned about, he is the only player in history to be elected to the European Golden Boy Award and shortlisted for the FIFA Ballon d'Or Award at the same time.

Of course, as we said before, the FIFA Ballon d'Or is still very young, but even if the timeline is pulled back to the European Ballon d'Or era, this kind of honor is unique.

The data speaks for itself.

In addition to winning three important trophies, only Yang Feng can currently keep pace with Messi and Ronaldo in the competition for the European Golden Boot Award in the 2012/2013 season.

Okay, now I will hand over the time to my colleague Duan Xuan, who will bring us the most real-time reports at the scene..."

Duan Xuan appeared in the camera, and to everyone's surprise, Yang Feng stood beside him.

"Hello everyone, my name is Duan Xuan. I am currently at the Zurich City Hall. The much-anticipated Golden Globe Awards Ceremony will be held here. Through our lenses, you can see that many football superstars have come to the scene. Of course,

I know that what everyone is most concerned about is the person next to me... Come, Yang Feng, say hello to the fans and friends in front of the TV."

"Hello everyone, my name is Yang Feng."

"First of all, congratulations to Schalke 04 for winning the Bundesliga half-season championship, and also congratulations on winning the Golden Boy Award. So what do you think of this Ballon d'Or?"

"Thank you," Yang Feng said, "The competition for the Ballon d'Or this year is very fierce. As for the national team, Spain won the European Cup. Many players in their team performed very well. Everyone has the hope of winning. As for the club, Chelsea won the European Cup."

It is an important Champions League championship, so I think Drogba, Cech and others may also win the award. Of course, there is also the most important personal performance. Messi and Ronaldo still performed very well in 2012, and they are still the most popular candidates.

.”

"We know that you were also shortlisted for the Puskas Award and the Best Team. Are you confident of winning the award?"

Everyone originally thought he would be modest, but unexpectedly he nodded directly, "Yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huntelaar patted him on the back, "Hey, golden boy! Nice suit!"

Yang Feng reached out and fist bumped with him, "Is it mainly because he is handsome?"

"Yes, although it's worse than me."

Duan Xuan quickly moved away, letting the camera circle Huntelaar and Yang Feng in the center, and then spoke to Huntelaar with the microphone, "Hello, Klaas, may I ask you..."

Huntelaar interrupted: "Oh, no need to ask, I have answered this question eight hundred times tonight, no matter who wins the award, there is only one Mr. Golden Globe in my mind... Yes, that is

Raul...hey, man, what's that look in your eyes, do you think I'm talking about you?"

"Of course, when I answered, I kept saying that you are the Mr. Golden Ball in my mind. You will make it difficult for me."

"Remember how you feel, at least it's right."

Being used to seeing all kinds of serious interviews under CCTV cameras, everyone thought they were on the wrong channel.

However, after the joke was over, Huntelaar and Yang Feng still exchanged commercial blows according to the routine. Yang Feng accepted interviews with Tencent and Sina. He originally thought he would have a little free time, but unexpectedly, "Bild" and "Bild"

"Kicker" followed one after another.

These two families are also old acquaintances, and it is customary to get down to business immediately after the opening ceremony.

"Guardiola has confirmed at the press conference that he will return to coaching next season. It is revealed that his next stop is likely to be Bayern Munich, but it is said that he made a request to Bayern Munich, that is, he must

you……"

Yang Feng smiled helplessly and interrupted: "Hey, don't be like this, Frank, I also watched the press conference, and that's not what he said."

A reporter did mention Bayern at the press conference, but Guardiola said at the time that "Bayern already has a coach, and it is disrespectful to talk about it now."

These reporters are used to digging holes for people.

"Okay, let's be direct. Will you join Bayern Munich next season? Just like Neuer."

"No," Yang Feng said categorically, "I will not join any Bundesliga team except Schalke 04."

"What about outside the Bundesliga?"

"It's too early to talk about this now, let's talk about the Golden Globe Awards."

"Okay, then who do you think should win the Golden Globe Award this year?"

"Raul."

"Ah? But Raul was not shortlisted for the 23-man list."

"But he is Mr. Golden Ball in my mind."

"...but you were clearly talking about Huntelaar just now."

"Oh, then they are all Mr. Golden Balls in my mind."

"..."

After dealing with the media, other people approached me again, and each one was more provocative than the last.

Ferguson was the first and most direct, "Hey, boy, come to Manchester United and let's win the Champions League together."

"...Sir, are you serious?"

"Of course, I'm serious," Ferguson said, "What number do you want to wear? 7 or 9? Tell me and I'll grab it for you."
