Chapter 305: Interview with Torino Sport

******

At this time in 2005, many Chinese fans didn't know what the European Golden Boy Award was, even the veteran football commentators.

But later, with the translation of major portals, fans in China finally knew what the award was.

This...... What an award!

Founded in 2003 by the Italian newspaper Torino Sport, it is voted for by the leading European media to award the Young Player of the Year, and is also considered a "rite of passage" for young talents, and the selection must be made to young players under the age of 21 who play for European clubs.

Of course, the most eye-catching part is the section where the important European media vote for the best young player of the year, because professional fans know that this is a fairly authoritative selection, just like France's "French football" selected the European Ballon d'Or!

Therefore, domestic fans began to look forward to this achievement of Iroh in the future, and won the best player under the age of 21 at the age of 19, so what about the future?

European Golden Globe Awards?

World Footballer of the Year??

This achievement of Iroh can be said to be an extra dawn for Chinese football in the dark period, and it also gives Chinese fans who are obsessed with football another support and expectation!

Especially in the past year, Iroh's growth has been witnessed by most fans!

From the 2005 World Youth Championship in the Netherlands to this year's La Liga, every game has not been left behind, so to speak...... They are witnesses to a legend!

******

In addition to the Chinese media being happy, the Spanish media was the happiest, after all, Aillo's success started in La Liga, and from another point of view, he is a player cultivated in La Liga.

At the same time, it is also a recognition of La Liga in world football!

The day after Iello won the European Golden Boy Award, the Valencia Sports newspaper made headlines with the headline "Prince Ascends to the Top", and Enrique Wien, who was promoted to editor-in-chief because of Iro's relationship, wrote in the text, "A year and a half ago, would anyone have thought that there would be Valencia players to win such an authoritative award as the European Golden Boy Award? No! I'm like everyone else, and I'm sorry that I didn't know what the European Golden Boy Award was until then......"

“…… This award is not only a recognition of Ai's efforts in this year, but also a support! The best player under 21 in Europe!! So... What about the European Ballon d'Or in the future, the World Footballer of the Year? Oh, my God! Am I thinking too much? No! Didn't think much about it...... With his (Airo's) current performances, it is only a matter of time before he is recognized by the editors of France Football, and we are worried about his results in the national team......"

Enrique Wien is very justified here, so the sales in Valencia on this day were also very good.

And "Marca" newspaper with "no suspense elected" as the headline of this issue, although Ailo is not a Madrid player, but on behalf of Spain won this award, naturally there is no indispensable praise, "This successful election to the European Golden Boy Award thanks to his rapid progress in the past year, 04-05 season Valencia won the UEFA Cup, Ai Li made great contributions, and his success also entered the Chinese national youth team, participated in the Netherlands World Youth Championships this summer, and won the World Youth Championship, It can be said that he has achieved great success......"

This time, the Catalan newspaper "Le Monde" Sport sang the opposite, they believe that Messi, who also participated in the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands this summer, deserves the award even more, "As discussed before, whether it is on the pitch for the team, or for his personal appearance off the pitch, Barcelona's Leo Messi is much better than Valencia's Ai, but why is the winner from Valencia? Could it be ......"

Le Monde Sport began to question the selection of Torino Sport, as their first vote was given to Leo Messi.

At present, the newspaper Torino Sport only announces the names of the winners, and does not announce the final scores.

This qiē can only be said when Airo goes to Turin to accept the award.

******

Originally, Valencia had a home game against Mallorca before the winter break, but coach Flores seemed very humane this time and deliberately gave Eello an early holiday.

So the day before the final round in Valencia, Iello appeared at the headquarters of Torino Sport, accompanied by his agent Papa Adrian.

When Iello received the trophy from Paulo Delabao, editor-in-chief of Torino Sport, the symbol of the European Golden Boy Award, more than 20 European sports media that had been invited by Torino Sport pressed the shutter in unison.

Iroh was dressed in a costume designed by Donaltella Versace, holding the golden football trophy he had just received in both hands, looking particularly handsome!

In fact, it is no wonder that everyone jokingly calls the European Golden Boy Award the European Golden Globe Award under the age of 21, because just from the appearance, it is too similar!

Among these journalists, the one from China is the craziest.

Their eyes were filled with a scorching light, and looking at Ailo was like seeing a bright future for Chinese football......

Among the Chinese reporters, Ailuo is most familiar with Qi Liuhai from "Football News", and he kept greeting his colleagues at the moment, "I am very familiar with Ailuo, I will definitely get his interview rights!" ”

Iroh looked at the long guns and short cannons in front of him and all kinds of flashing lights, and then looked at the 'golden ball' in his hand and subconsciously thought: Next year...... Will it be a real golden ball in your hand?

******

When the reporters finished filming, Padovan, the football editor-in-chief of Torino Sport, announced the scores of the top five places in the European Golden Boy Awards.

The voting rules for the Golden Boy Award are that each judge selects 5 players from the candidates and scores according to their ranks, with 10 points for the first place, 7 points for the second place, 5 points for the third place, three points for the fourth place, and 1 point for the fifth place.

Surprisingly, Iroh is in first place with an absolute advantage of 291 points.

Although the results have already been known, the reporters who attended the award ceremony of the Torino Sports newspaper couldn't help but gasp when they saw the final score.

This score is also too perverted.

In second place is Barcelona's Messi with 109 points.

In third place was Manchester United's Wayne Rooney with 73 points

Fourth place was also from Manchester United, with Christie Ronaldo scoring 54 points.

In fifth place is Cologne's Podolski with 32 points.

It stands to reason that this year's European Golden Boy Award winner Iroh is currently the best young player under the age of 21 in the whole of Europe, and there should be no suspense!

Because there is no player who has played like him in this year, so ...... Here's the problem.

A score of 291 means that twenty-nine out of thirty ratings give Eloh a perfect score of 10, so the remaining one ...... Which newspaper gave it?

So, the media began to interview the editor-in-chief, Paul Delabao, and asked which 30 judges were in the Chinese New Year's Eve today.

Soon...... These journalists saw a name, Juan Carlos, Le Monde Sport.

When everyone saw this name, they all suddenly realized!

In European football, the feud between Iello and Juan Carlos is known to almost everyone, so it ...... Juan Carlos has also been nicknamed Cautious.

At the same time, he has become a laughing stock in European football.

Because when everyone recognized Iroh's success, he was the only one who was stingy and threw one point.

In fact, what everyone doesn't know is that if it weren't for the facts, Juan Carlos wouldn't want to vote.

******

After the award of the Torino Sport newspaper, Iello gave an exclusive interview to the Torino Sport newspaper.

This interview is very simple, about Elo's journey from home to Spain, and how he made the transition from youth to senior.

Interviews are no stranger to him, having been interviewed by Enrique Wien when he was in the youth team and by his hometown newspaper Xiaoxiang Daily after scoring a hat-trick at the Bernabeu.

However, this interview still has a different feeling for Iro, one is the difference in mentality, just like when he won the certificate of three good students for the first time in elementary school, there is joy and excitement, because this is a recognition of his silent dedication.

As the saying goes, one minute on the stage and ten years of work off the stage.

The second is that he is no longer the stunned young man he was at the beginning, and now he is also the best player under the age of 21 in a European club, that is, the 'European Youth Footballer', and his status is different!

Iello knows that from this moment on, he will be a target for many young players to follow.

Therefore, he must also work harder and harder to not let these chasing people surpass!

Especially Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the two future kings, after the 2006 World Cup in Germany, both of them will begin to break out, setting off a storm of youth in world football!

"It's an honor to have an interview with you!"

Editor-in-chief Paul Depaola stood up with a smile and held out his right hand.

"Me too, to be able to get an interview with your newspaper!"

Similarly, Iroh smiled and stood up and stretched out his right arm.

"Come on! Hope to see you again this time next year......"

Iroh was stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses and made a small joke, "Yes, but ...... I hope to win an official Ballon d'Or in Paris, France. ”

After finishing speaking, Iroh also held the 'Golden Boy Award' trophy in his hand and raised it.

"Haha......" Paul de la Pau patted Iroh on the shoulder and winked, "If your amazing performance can continue from the beginning of next year to the end of next year, no matter how the other judges vote, my vote will definitely be left to you!" ”

"Hahahaha, that's a good dare!"

This exclusive interview with Torino Sport ended with a handshake between Iello and editor-in-chief Paulo Depaola.

ps: The national football team lost yesterday, and the mentality is not good!!
