Also on October 27, Tuttosport also announced the list of 40 candidates for the 2012 European Golden Boy Award.
The European Golden Boy Award was founded in 2003 by Tuttosport. It is voted for by professional football reporters every year. It is known as the "European Golden Ball Award under 21 years old" and is extremely valuable. Previously selected winners such as Van der Vaart,
Wayne Rooney, Leo Messi, etc., most of them have grown into world-class superstars.
This year’s candidate list includes Bayern Munich’s Alaba, Inter Milan’s Coutinho, AC Milan’s Al Shaarawi, Dortmund’s Mario Gotze, Malaga’s Isco, Arsenal’s Oxlade-Chamberlain, Juventus
Pogba of Stuttgart, Salah of Basel, Sterling of Liverpool, Varane of Real Madrid, Joan Chen and Courtois of Atletico Madrid and other 40 young people under the age of 21 who are playing in the European League.
Selected into the squad.
Among them, Mario Gotze was the winner of the European Golden Boy Award last year, that is, in 2011. He was selected into the squad again this year, proving his outstanding performance this year.
According to the rules, the European Golden Boy Award does not restrict players who have been elected from being re-elected the next year.
However, for players who have already won the Golden Boy Award, the judges will obviously take comprehensive considerations into consideration when selecting them next year. If they do not have a crushing performance, they will generally not be re-elected. After all, other young people must be given a chance to win the award.
.
For example, Mario Gotze this year, although his performance is pretty good, he is basically just a sidekick, and most of the judges will not vote for him.
Of course, even without reference to the fact that Gotze won the Golden Boy Award last year, just based on his performance in 2012 this year, he is not one of the best candidates, let alone Qiao Anchen.
Qiao Anchen scored in 30 consecutive games in La Liga in 2012, with a total of 81 goals in the year. Not to mention the Golden Boy Award, he is qualified to compete for the Golden Ball Award. It’s just that the championship honor is a little worse, and there is no heavyweight.
The league championship and Champions League championship, as well as the European Cup, World Cup and so on.
But these data, combined with the Europa League champion, the European Super Cup champion, the Europa League Golden Boot, etc., are no doubt used to lock in this year’s European Golden Boy Award in advance. This year’s European Golden Boy Award has been held since 2003.
This has been the least suspenseful year since its founding.
Qiao Anchen is about to become the 10th European golden boy after Van der Vaart, Wayne Rooney, Leo Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Aguero, Anderson, Pato, Balotelli and Mario Gotze.
Award winner.
Of course, even though everyone knew that there was no suspense, the media was still very excited when Qiao Anchen appeared on the big list. Especially the Chinese media, they were very excited and proud, and of course they had to report it extensively.
"Turin Sports News announced the list of 40 candidates for the 2012 European Golden Boy Award, and Chinese player Qiao Anchen was shortlisted!"
"Qiao Anchen was shortlisted for the 40-person shortlist for the 2012 European Golden Boy Award and became the favorite to win the award!"
Chinese fans are also reprinting news from domestic and foreign media everywhere on the Internet. Even if some foreign media reports are incomprehensible, looking at the screenshots and seeing Qiao Anchen's photo, you know that it is Qiao Anchen who is reporting. Naturally, everyone feels quite proud and proud.
excited.
Both the European media and the Chinese media believe that there is no suspense about this year's European Golden Boy Award. It must be Qiao Anchen's. Turin Sports News first announced the list of 40 candidates, then announced the final list of three, and finally announced the winner. It's just that
Just following a fixed routine.
Naturally, teammates, coaches, and club staff also expressed their congratulations to Joan Chen and Courtois.
Of course, the biggest congratulations are given to Qiao Anchen. After all, everyone knows that Courtois is just running with him, and Qiao Anchen is the final winner.
The next day, at 20:45 in the evening on October 28, the 9th round of the 2012/2013 La Liga season between Atletico Madrid and Osasuna officially started at the Calderon Stadium.
Osasuna is currently ranked last, while Atletico Madrid is first, so this game is also a veritable battle between captain and deputy squad leader.
Of course, with Atletico Madrid's recent hot form, it is almost impossible for Osasuna to escape unscathed at the Calderon Stadium.
The game did not surprise everyone. Atletico Madrid launched a strong attack on Osasuna from the beginning of the game and scored the opponent's goal in the 17th minute.
It was Qiao Anchen who scored the goal.
After getting the ball in the midfield, he first used his perfect Matthews dribble to connect two people, then played two consecutive short passes with Raul Garcia and Diego Costa, and then dribbled the ball into the penalty area.
, easily succeeded with a low shot into the far corner 12 meters in front of the goal.
Goalkeeper Fernandez was beyond reach and could only watch the ball go into the net.
In the stands, many fans held up a model of the European Golden Boy Award trophy and cheered loudly towards Qiao Anchen who scored the goal, expressing their congratulations and admiration for his selection into the 40-person shortlist for the European Golden Boy Award and for his goal that now breaks the world record again.
Yes, Qiao Anchen's goal increased his consecutive La Liga scoring record across seasons to 31 games, once again breaking his own world record and receiving a record-breaking reward of 10 million experience points, with the total experience level rising to level 41.
52.11 million/60 million.
At the same time, Qiao Anchen's total goals for the year have reached 82, which is only 3 goals short of Gerd Muller's annual record of 85 goals.
Three goals is not much, but facing a terrifying shooter like Qiao Anchen, it is possible to score three more goals and tie the record.
Therefore, Osasuna's surveillance of Qiao Anchen became even tighter and they were determined not to give Qiao Anchen another chance to score. Once Qiao Anchen showed signs of a breakthrough, everyone committed a tactical foul. Anyway, they could not let Qiao Anchen get close to the penalty area and get a chance to shoot.
.
When the right wing was tightly guarded by the opponent, Qiao Anchen tried to switch to the left wing and try.
In the 40th minute, Qiao Anchen was knocked down by the opponent when he broke through from the left and won a free kick.
Previously, several free kicks taken by Joan Anchen through breakthroughs did not pose a threat to Atletico Madrid, but this time, when captain Gabi took the free kick, central defender Miranda, who stepped forward to participate in the competition for the top, jumped high among the crowd in the penalty area.
, with a flick of his head, he headed the ball into the opponent's goal.
Atletico Madrid leads Osasuna 2-0 at home.
Although the goal was not scored by Qiao Anchen or assisted by him, it was a free kick created by him. Therefore, Qiao Anchen's role is still very obvious. Even if he does not score, he is still a great threat to the opponent.
Soon, the first half of the game ended, and the two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 2-0. Atletico Madrid, playing at home, temporarily led by two goals.
After changing sides in the second half, Osasuna wanted to launch a fast break to score goals. However, Atletico Madrid thought the same way.
Therefore, only 3 minutes into the second half, Atletico Madrid took advantage of Osasuna's early opportunity after getting the ball, and Raul Garcia directly kicked the ball into Osasuna.
The frontier of the restricted area.
When Qiao Anchen moved without the ball to distract the defensive player, Diego Costa successfully countered the offside. He received the ball and formed a single goal. He dribbled the ball into the penalty area and then kicked the ball away from the goalkeeper's feet.
He went over and kicked into the far corner.
Atletico Madrid expanded the score to 3-0, basically sealing the victory.
Simeone began to make substitutions, replacing Falcao and Diego Costa one after another. However, Qiao Anchen was not replaced for the time being.
Then Qiao Anchen seized the opportunity to stay on the court.
In the 71st minute, Arda Turan, who came on as a substitute, made a pass from the left, and center Adrian competed with the opponent's two central defenders in the penalty area.
However, the three of them interacted with each other. No one could jump to the ideal height, no one touched the ball, and they all fell off the top.
This time, the defenders and goalkeepers in the penalty area were shaken. The ball crossed the middle and fell to the back point, but it was right in front of Qiao Anchen who rushed into the penalty area.
Then there's nothing to be polite about.
Qiao Anchen directly bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and fired a volley from about 8 meters away from the goal in the penalty area, successfully hitting the ball within the goal frame.
This volley was powerful, fast, and close. Therefore, even though the angle was not very tricky, goalkeeper Fernandez still failed to touch the ball and tried his best to save it in vain.
The ball passed over his arm and flew into the goal.
In the 71st minute, Qiao Anchen volleyed into the penalty area and scored another goal. He scored twice to help Atletico Madrid expand the score to 4-0 and increase his total number of goals for the year to 83, one goal away from Ged Mou.
