Yi Zhe was originally supposed to leave after Christmas, but he received an unexpected phone call and immediately set off for Turin, Italy.
"Turin Sports" has made the official announcement, and football media across Europe immediately announced the explosive news with front-page headlines.
The 2014 European Golden Boy Awards are officially announced!
Winner: Yi Zhe!
This is not a very suspenseful result, but when it all becomes a reality, the beginning brought by Yi Zhe is destined to have an explosive effect.
When Yi Zhe was still on his way to Turin to receive the award, all domestic social media headlines were filled with the words "Golden Boy Yizhe". Fans from all sides uniformly sent congratulatory messages to all portals with open comment areas.
“Awesome!!!”
"Congratulations to the golden boy!"
Not to mention the professional media in the football circle were instantly in a panic.
Yi Gang had just arrived at the office early in the morning during BJ time, when he suddenly heard a burst of cheers from the young people outside.
"Chief Editor Yi! Chief Editor Yi!"
The young man knocked on the door anxiously.
"Xiao Li, why are you panicking? Speak slowly!"
"Yi Zhe won the Golden Boy Award! Editor-in-chief, Yi Zhe! European Golden Boy!"
But Yi Gang just smiled slightly excitedly: "I already know. The agency has unified arrangements to arrange an urgent special issue immediately. We also have to send someone to report on the spot in Turin."
"I'll go, editor-in-chief!" The young man immediately volunteered.
"Hold on tight! CCTV has to produce special programs to show our professionalism!"
"Football News" immediately published the boldest special report - Golden boy Yizhe, starting the best era!
Yi Gang's face was filled with pride. Seeing all his peers on the Internet praising his son with the same exaggeration, the old father felt unprecedentedly satisfied. He was even more fortunate to have withstood the pressure from his wife and supported his son.
The European Golden Boy Awards ceremony will certainly not be as grand as the well-known FIFA Ballon d'Or Awards. After all, the winners have been announced before the ceremony begins. The event was only for the awards ceremony, but CCTV broadcast it live for the first time.
At the Lingotto Convention and Exhibition Center in Turin, the spotlight focused on the moment when Yi Zhe won the trophy. The moment when he took the trophy from the hands of Turin Sports News owner Cairo was frozen.
"Congratulations to Yi Zhe! This is a real honor that is worthy of recognition. It shows that he is a talented leader among young players in European football. Thank you also for the European Golden Boy Award-fortunately they did not vote like the Ballon d'Or, hahaha!"
At the award ceremony, Yi Zhe was asked by the beautiful host of Turin TV how he felt at the moment, and his first words were exactly the same as He Wei.
"Thank you to the organizer Turin Sport. Fortunately, this is not a vote in which all national team coaches and captains participate! Thank you to the 30 media who participated in the scoring. Although my performance is not worthy of high scores in the eyes of some media, it is This is the direction I am heading on the court, and when you are willing to give me high marks... we will see you at the Golden Globe Awards!"
Yi Zhe set a flag against the whole of Europe in a half-joking way. This is not in line with his style, but he would not have said such a thing if he had not done his homework beforehand and understood how much advantage he had in being elected.
The 30 mainstream media in Europe that participated in the selection almost unanimously praised Yizhe's performance. In just half a season of his career, 8 mainstream media gave Yizhe's performance a perfect score of 10 points.
In this selection, there are actually talents such as Manchester City forward Sterling and Ding Ding's national team teammate Januzaj. But judging from this result, Yi Zhe is almost without any suspense!
Among them, "Bild" certainly gave the most direct high praise. After all, as the only authoritative media from Germany in the selection panel, no one has more say than them.
"In this era, no one with Yi is more qualified to be called a real golden boy. His calm mind gives him unparalleled insight. In half a season at Wolfsburg, he has become the Wolf King of the Volkswagen Arena! In his He seems to have inexhaustible power in his body, and you can always see him performing the most heroic individual performances. This is a genius destined to dominate the court!"
It is worth mentioning that Spain's "World Sports News" also gave a very high evaluation, but their starting point is well known.
"Yi's performance in the Bundesliga for half a season once again vindicated the essence of La Masia football! Pass-and-control football will never lag behind the times, but now even Barcelona no longer has a ball-control master like Xavi, but we are fortunate to have Wolfsburg also has such a genius, he is a child of La Masia!"
Yi Zhe received a call from Thies after the award ceremony. He said that Barcelona arranged for him to meet in private again.
"This is your job, my dear Tis."
Yi Zhe could only let him deal with it first. He was very busy now and would have to fly back to China overnight to prepare to join the national team.
…
For Chinese football, in the years since it missed the World Cup, the Asian Cup has been the only competition. Therefore, every time the Asian Cup is held, official media such as CCTV will conduct a high-standard expedition ceremony at the request of the Football Association.
The national team originally had a warm-up match, but due to Yi Zhe's return, it was moved forward this time.
Riding on the popularity of Yi Zhe winning the European Golden Boy Award, naturally all the focus is on him. Even the strict and unsmiling head coach Perrin said: "The Chinese team is a team composed of 23 players. We promise all fans that we will work hard to play football that never gives up, but Yi's joining will have a negative impact on the football team." It will be of great help to the team, and he already has strength that transcends Asia."
Listening to what the head coach said, Yi Zhe subconsciously turned his head and glanced at his teammates - everyone is here, is this really appropriate?
"Zhe, don't look at us, the coach is right." Zheng Zhi laughed directly.
Yi Zhe looked around and subconsciously asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhi, what's going on? Why don't you see Brother Tingting?"
He is talking about the team's main center back Feng Xiaoting. It is the final preparation stage and the main center back is not here. This is abnormal.
"You must be injured, cough cough..."
Zheng Zhi answered casually without saying much.
Soon CCTV host Zhang Bin called Yi Zhe, his eyes obviously more curious.
"Yi Zhe, just now Coach Perlan commented that you are completely at the top level in Europe, and you have just won the Golden Boy Award. With such ability, you have played in the national team competition for the first time. Do you have any expectations for the Asian Cup?"
"I don't know much." Yi Zhe smiled and told the truth: "My only impression of the Asian Cup is the one at home. That was my first football memory... All of us understand everyone's expectations. We will do our best to Go and leave no regrets, this is the Chinese team’s answer.”
As soon as Yi Zhe finished speaking, the teammates around him put their hands on his shoulders.
