Chapter 272 Candidate for Golden Boy Award
When he was in the La Masia youth training camp, Tang Wu was just a rookie who had just "changed careers", while Xiaofa was a high-profile Spanish genius.
At that time, whether it was Xiaofa or Messi and other players, although it was not difficult to score a goal for Tang Wu, it was still very easy.
But this game played for almost 70 minutes, but Xiaofa didn't have a single shot.
This is the Premier League, not the youth academy!
There are offensive players like Henry, Reyes, and Pires in front, and the right to fire is concentrated in the hands of these guys.Except for using his flexible running position and precise passing to send assists to his teammates, Xiaofa didn't have a very eye-catching performance.
Just a forward with the ball could have created the best goal of the season, and it could have made him instantly famous among the Gunners.But at the last moment, it still fell short, and Tang Wu, who was very familiar with Xiaofa's stride frequency, shoveled the ball out by a hair.
Now Tang Wu's attitude is "disdainful", and the young Xiaofa once again ignited the young man's competitive heart, wanting to show Tang Wu some color in the next time.
Tang Wu doesn't care that Xiaofa will become "passionate" because of himself. After a season in the Premier League, Tang Wu has grown into a mature goalkeeper.In addition to playing a few times in the League Cup and FA Cup and some leagues where the opponents are not very strong, Xiaofa has not played for the Gunners in some important games, let alone made a contribution.
Football is played by eleven players, and the total number of players is 22.
Perhaps the game of 22 people will change the situation of the battle because of the active performance of a certain player, but Tang Wu is sure that Xiaofa is not Ronaldo or Ronaldo Jr. now.
The cruelty of the Premier League will not change because of Xiaofa's "dissatisfaction".
Just like this game.
Sure enough, after Liverpool almost broke through the Gunners' gate, the whole Anfield was boiling again.
Both the fans and the players are tired of the 0-0 draw, and they desperately need a goal to change the team and change the status quo.
The Red Army doesn't care whether the opponent is the Gunner, AC Milan, Real Madrid or other powerful guys. At this time, the Red Army members only think of one thing: that is to score goals!
The offensive momentum has started, what else can stop the Red Army?
Wenger on the sidelines gritted his teeth and took advantage of a dead ball in 67 minutes to make the first substitution in the game.
Reyes, who also had no achievements in this game, was replaced. When he was off the field, the gun fans of the visiting team did not show any signs, as if he was replaced by someone who had nothing to do with them.
The so-called Spanish rising star has long lost his former glory. After becoming the Gunners' starter this season, he has not scored a goal in 7 consecutive rounds.
I don't know if he can't get used to Arsenal's high-intensity continuous battles. This game is like an invisible man, and he didn't show up in the camera until he was substituted.
Ferguson in the stands chewed gum and looked at the dejected Spanish star, sneered and shook his head.
"If he had the skills of Cristiano and Wayne, he wouldn't be bought by Wenger. I would have taken him already."
This guy who clamored to use Tang Wu as a pedal last season was excluded from the list of 20 candidates for the Golden Boy Award just announced at the beginning of the month.
The Golden Boy Award was established by the Italian "Turin Sports" in 2003. It is voted by important European media to select outstanding players under the age of 21 who play for European clubs.
Different from the Golden Globe Award, the award will be announced by the "Turin Sports Daily" on July 7st with a list of 1 candidates, and then 100 candidates will be screened out at the beginning of each month.
Now that it has entered November, the list of Golden Boy Awards has been narrowed down to the last 11 people.
In other words, in another month, the winner of the Golden Boy Award will be published in the newspapers.
Among the 20 people, the two Manchester United rookies Rooney and Ronaldinho are the most popular, and there are other young talents such as Robben, Podolski and Messi.Among them, the name of Fernando Torres, who is tied with Reyes as the "Spanish Gemini", is also at the forefront of the list.
Fernando Torres, 19 years old, is the youngest captain of the Sheets.
Torres' incomparable glory in the Sheets has overshadowed any of Reyes' titles. Even if Arsenal achieved the myth of winning the championship with an unbeaten record last season, does this have anything to do with Reyes?
Aside from helping the Gunners out of Chelsea in the FA Cup, Reyes hasn't had many outstanding performances in any other major competition.Even if it is a goal, it is the icing on the cake after Henry and others secured the victory in advance.
This season, since Reyes misfired, he has been on the fringes of the Gunners' starting list.If it weren't for Bergkamp's injury and retirement, for the professor, as long as he finds a better "replacement", perhaps Reyes will never be seen in the Gunners' starting lineup for the next game.
In addition, the most exciting thing for Chinese fans is that Tang Wu, who is only 20 years old, is also on the list of the last 20 players.Although the votes and ranking are low, he is the only Asian player and the only goalkeeper.
To Tang Wu, this was already very valuable.
Even if Tang Wu did not win the award in the end, just because he squeezed into the list of the last 20 people for the Golden Boy Award as an Asian goalkeeper is enough to make him famous all over the world.
Moreover, during the two months when Liverpool fell into a trough, even the most pessimistic and least optimistic about Liverpool's media never said a bad word about Tang Wu-they had to admit that at the critical moment, it was the young The teenager silently guarded Liverpool's last hope.
Now, Tang Wu was still standing at the end of Liverpool's half, while Reyes lowered his head, slapped his teammates on the sidelines, and disappeared into the crowd on the bench.
The player who replaced Reyes was also a young player. Together with Reyes, he also stopped in the 40-man squad for the Golden Boy Award this season.
But the reason for his stop is not because of his lack of personal ability, but because he had a very unpleasant fight with the coach in this club last season, so that he didn't have much playing time.
This season, he joined the Gunners with a price of 275 million pounds. According to Wenger, he will be trained as the successor of Ice Prince Bergkamp.
Now, Bergkamp is injured and Reyes is in a sluggish state. The professor can only send him to play, hoping to create a "miracle".
For such a young general, Tang Wu didn't know him very well.
But Tang Wu has no intention of underestimating it, because not everyone can wear the No. 11 jersey of the Gunners.
"Oh, Arsenal has changed!" Huang Jianxiang was a little surprised.
Although Pangele caught Tang Wu's backcourt long pass just now, although he caught it neatly, his footsteps seemed to be a little staggered after landing. It is conservatively estimated that he might have a little cramp or strain.
I thought that Liverpool would be the first to make substitutions by taking advantage of the dead ball, but the professor obviously couldn't sit still and took the lead in making substitutions.
Zhan Jun looked down at the information on the desktop, adjusted his glasses, and read in a flat tone: "At the 67th minute of the game, Arsenal took the lead in making substitutions. Reyes, No. 9, came on as a substitute. No. 11 Robin van Persie."
