Chapter 432 Golden Globe Nominations

In this big roster, Chen Yu and Park Ji-sung became representatives of Asia. The media believes that the reason why these two were selected for the European Golden Ball Awards was mainly because of their outstanding performance last season. Park Ji-sung followed Eindhoven to the quarterfinals of the Champions League last season and transferred to the giant Manchester United. This was a bonus point. Chen Yu's performance in the Serie A was also unexpected. As a newly promoted team, Fiorentina won the third place under the leadership of Chen Yu and entered the Champions League. What is even more surprising is that Chen Yu scored 36 goals in 18 games, setting a new goal record that Nodal has maintained for 40 years and won the European Golden Boot Award. It is also expected that these two people can beat all other Asian players to be selected.

After successfully being shortlisted for the European Golden Ball Awards, Chen Yu's last boot also fell to the ground. Last season, he successfully led Fiorentina to advance to Serie A, and his performance was also excellent. However, nominations for the European Golden Ball Awards, World Football Masters, and even Asian Football Masters nominations, which hit Chen Yu very much because Chen Yu felt that there would be no chance to enter the first few, but the shortlist should not be a big problem. As a result, the skinny reality shattered his full ideal.

From then on, Chen Yu has almost put aside all entertainment activities and devoted all his body and mind to the game. Chen Yu has indeed achieved certain results. Now, Chen Yu's efforts have finally paid off. Three authoritative football selection organizations have recognized his performance, which means that coaches, captains and reporters from all over the world have recognized his performance. Chen Yu feels that it doesn't matter how many places he can make in the end. Last season, Fiorentina only won the third place. Except for winning a top scorer and a Cup of Italian championship, he has no other important honors. The national team has no results and no results in the European competition. Chen Yu doesn't believe that he can achieve any decent results in the competition with these world-class stars.

Chen Yu had no idea in the European Cup Golden Ball Awards and World Football Masters, but in the selection of Asian Football Masters, Chen Yu had certain ambitions.

As the leader of Asian football, Chen Yu has only one opponent in Asia, that is, Korean star Park Ji-sung.

Park Ji-sung is younger than Chen Yu, but his achievements are no worse than Chen Yu. After transferring to Manchester United, he received less attention than Chen Yu. The competition for Asian footballers is a battle between the two leaders of East Asian countries, China and South Korea. For example, Japan's Shunsuke Nakamura and Iran's Karimi are not good at the results. Saudi Arabia's Montari's ability is a shortcoming, and they can't compete with Chen Yu and Park Ji-sung.

Compared with Chen Yu, Park Ji-sung has the advantage of team performance and club achievements. The two basically tied, but Park Ji-sung still performed well in the national team, while Chen Yu lacked the national team results. If Chen Yu had not had Chen Yu's personal ability too outstanding, he would be a little worse than Park Ji-sung, but now, the two are basically on the same level.

Chen Yu was sitting on the sofa and pondering. Zhao Muyu quietly came behind him, "Brother Xiaoyu, what are you thinking? You are so trance? You miss your grandparents?"

Chen Yu said: "No, I'm thinking about something."

Zhao Muyu saw the newspaper on the coffee table and said, "I'm thinking about the Golden Globe Awards, Brother Xiaoyu, I think you can enter the top three."

After hearing this, Chen Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "Mu Yu, don't praise me, okay? Ronaldinho, Shevchenko, Gerrard, Lampard and others, no one is better than me."

"The Golden Ball Awards are not about team performance, but about personal abilities. Otherwise, Liverpool and Barcelona's lineup will be better than you. Besides, Ronaldinho won the World Footballer without any results last year."

Zhao Muyu said disdainfully that in the past three years of college, her personality has become much cheerful than before, and she has become more confident in speaking and doing things.

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Although that said, grades are still an important criterion for the selection of the Golden Globe Awards. Otherwise, how to measure them? Do you just look at your personal grades?"

Zhao Muyu said: "Your results are not bad either. Last season's third place in the league, the Italian Cup champion, the second in the league this season, and the outstanding performance in the Champions League. Do you have no hope to compete with them yet?"

Chen Yu sighed and said, "Actually, in addition to the results and personal data, it depends on the fame and influence of the players. Just like Cafu, Figo, Ronaldo and others, they will be nominated without excellent results and personal data. This is influence. I became famous a little late and had insufficient influence. I think I can't compare with them. If I have any ideas before the winter break, then I will be awarded the Asian Footballer, which is the most likely honor I can get."

Zhao Muyu said: "You are so concerned about this useless award. Do you want to win an award and go home to see your grandparents?"

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Yes, I have this idea. Although I made some name in Europe and won an Italian Cup championship, these grandparents don't know what this champion and best scorer are. But if I win the Asian Footballer, it will be different. In China, the Asian Footballer's reputation will definitely be better. If I win this award, my grandfather should be very happy."

Zhao Muyu said confidently: "I don't think it's a big problem for you to win the Asian Footballer. Park Ji-sung must be no match for you. In my opinion, he is a model worker, relying on diligence, and you are a real genius, a well-deserved all-round genius."

Chen Yu smiled bitterly and said, "What a genius? I am also a model worker, but I have scored more goals than Park Ji-sung."

Zhao Muyu smiled and said, "The task of the striker is to score goals, and more goals are geniuses."

Chen Yu shrugged and said, "It's really a fallacy. Well, Mu Yu, I hope you're right. When I get the footballer, I will definitely treat you to a meal."

Zhao Muyu shook his head, rolled his eyes and said, "No need to treat me to dinner. Brother Xiaoyu, you are good to me, and I have nothing to repay you. If you can bring your grandparents to Italy, I will respect them, and thank you Brother Xiaoyu for your care for me."

Chen Yu waved his hand and said, "We are brothers and sisters. Why do we say to me so politely? I don't want your reward. Grandpa and grandma will definitely not come to Europe. They are not used to it. In the village, they can talk to the villagers and talk to them. Who will they come here to talk to? Moreover, the plane is a bit dangerous for the elderly in their seventies. I can't let them take this risk."

After playing against Parma, there are still two games in the week. Fiorentina's opponent is Siena, their biggest opponent in the Tuscany region and Chen Yu's enemy.

Since Siena was promoted to Class A in 2034, the team's goal has been to relegation. Last season, the team relegated with 43 points, which seems thrilling and actually very stable. This is also the phenomenon of Siena in recent seasons. It seems weak, but she can always get on the shore safely. Last season, the team's home score was 5 wins, 8 draws, and 7 losses away. The team ranked first in 44 goals and conceded 55 goals. Last season, Siena's performance was relatively balanced, but her performance was always at the middle and lower level. The breakthrough in the final stage of the league caused relegation, although it seemed natural. Siena has been associated with rumors of fake balls after upgrading, and was almost relegated last season.

In recent seasons, Siena has been very rational in player buying and selling policies. They have formed a team that is in the middle and lower reaches of Serie A through loan and cheap buying. Although there are also consecutive defeats and big losses in the league, due to the lack of high requirements of the club, these will not affect the normal operation of the team. Last season, due to poor record, the old coach Simeone was dismissed from class midway and coached by the experienced De Canho. Under the leadership of De Canho, Siena even defeated AC Milan at home. This game shows that some Siena players are not very capable when fighting alone, but lack a continuity, which is also related to the fact that the team cannot guarantee the stability of the players.

Siena left Manninger, Tadei, Flo and other main players this summer. However, the newly introduced Lerotale, Locatelli, Negro, Marazina and others are all very strong players. After the conversion, Siena can only increase and decrease.

Tadei has always played the role of the team's midfield organizer since joining Siena in September 2018. Although he has transferred to Roma, the local player Locatelli who has transferred from Bologna can be said to be no worse than Tadei. Locatelli participated in Bologna 34 league games last season, with 3 goals and 4 assists, and his position is between the forward and the midfield. Also replacing Flo was Marazina from Turin. This forward who created miracles with Chivo is good at speed and heading is not bad. His arrival will be further implemented by De Canho's technical tactical ideas.

Siena's players in the new season have already achieved a mid-level level in terms of personal abilities, but whether they can perform well overall depends on how De Canho trains. The attack combination of Locatelli, Marazina and Chiesa is powerful. Chiesa participated in 36 league games last season and scored 1 goal. The veteran in the new season is still the team's biggest bargaining chip.
