Chapter 56: 2017 European Golden Boy Award Nominees! Asia No. 1!

London Football's official Instagram account: China's Messi? No, no, no! I'm China's Chang Huan!

"Another arrogant supernova, his future is nothing special!" @Chang-Huan, No. 99, AS Roma

Interview link:

Shortly after the post was published, it quickly provoked a reaction from some Messi fans, who flocked to Chang Huan's Instagram to criticize him.

When Chang Huan returned to her residence that evening and opened Instagram, she was a little confused to see 999+ unread comments with the notification badge.

Two days have passed since the away victory against AC Milan in the league, and the hype has clearly subsided.

When I opened it at noon, there were only a few dozen comments and likes, how did it become 999+ by evening?

He clicked on it and was speechless.

Calling you the "Chinese Messi" is an acknowledgment of your football talent. Do you think you're all that just because you played a couple of good games?

What kind of talent can emerge from a football wasteland? Go back to China!

[Hilarious! Calling me "Chang Huan of China"? You think you're so great? Trash!]

You could never reach Messi's level in several lifetimes!

……

"Is London Football Network crazy? Did I mean that in the interview? We have no grudge against each other, why are you taking things out of context and trying to stir up trouble for me?"

Chang Huan found the source of the information and finally understood why he was being targeted.

London Football Network is Chelsea's mouthpiece media.

After the international break in October, they will face Napoli and Chelsea, one of the Premier League's Big Six giants.

Both matches were about the battle for the league leaders.

The match against Napoli is a battle for the top spot in the league, while the game against Chelsea is a race for first place in the Champions League group.

and so……

They'll stop at nothing to mess with their own mindset.

MD!

With the first international match day of October approaching, the pace is quick and fast.

Messi fans, overwhelmed by the stress, turned their attention back to their respective national teams' campaigns.

Chang Huan, who was happy to have some free time, also focused his energy on preparations at the Trigoria training base.

The skill of internal cutting has been improved to the third level, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

In addition, his physical attributes also need to be improved.

Strength, explosiveness, agility, reaction time, balance, shooting power (core strength, lower body strength).

These attributes are crucial for performance in complex environments.

While the dribbling and ball control attributes are indeed high enough, the balance value is not high enough, which will affect the smoothness of high-speed dribbling and changing direction, as well as whether the body can maintain balance during physical confrontation.

Flexibility is related to the agility and aesthetic appeal of performing various technical movements.

Simply put, reaction speed is the speed at which you respond to your surroundings.

Shots inside the penalty area and long-range shots outside the penalty area require daily training to improve.

After a day of regular training, head coach Di Francisco announced a day off.

Nainggolan put his arm around Chang Huan's shoulder again: "Hey, Chang... how about I take you to a nightclub tonight?"

"No."

Chang Huan made up a random excuse: "I have to go back to watch the Chinese team's warm-up match tonight."

It wasn't that he refused to go to nightclubs, but rather that he didn't want to be with his colleague Nainggolan, who had a terrible reputation.

If it were an invitation from El Shaarawy, Lorenzo Pellegrini, or De Rossi, he would most likely agree.

"That's such a shame."

Nainggolan, used to being rejected, shrugged and didn't press the issue, instead turning to the Brazilian Bruno Pérez for his question.

The two international match days have ended.

The 25 spots for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia have been decided, with six remaining after excluding the host country.

Four in the European zone and two in the intercontinental play-offs.

At this point in the season, some national teams are eliminated, leaving everyone with a sense of regret.

The most regrettable name on this list is undoubtedly the Netherlands, the "uncrowned kings".

Due to a lack of goals scored against weaker teams, they ultimately finished third in the group on goal difference, failing to qualify for the playoffs.

Chile, the reigning Copa America champions in 2015 and 2016, finished sixth in their group in the South American qualifiers and failed to qualify for the main tournament.

The African qualifying rounds were the most dramatic.

This year's Africa Cup of Nations champions Cameroon, while strong teams Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Algeria were all eliminated.

Roma players, having finished their national team matches, have gradually returned to the Trigolia training ground.

Dzeko, De Rossi, El Shaarawy, and Lorenzo Pellegrini were all in low spirits.

Bochum's international Edin Dzeko had a dismal start to the match, ultimately losing 3-4 to Belgium at home.

This resulted in Greece overtaking them in the standings, thus eliminating them from the playoffs.

Although Italy ultimately made it to the playoffs, the fact that they missed out on direct qualification just doesn't feel right.

There are seven potential competitors, none of whom are easy to deal with.

These national team players have a very high level of professionalism, and they can adjust their emotions very quickly.

They quickly began preparations for two consecutive tough battles.

They will host Napoli in the league and visit Chelsea in the third round of the Champions League group stage.

Players who have just participated in national team matches should focus on recovery. Team tactical drills and light group scrimmages will only be conducted once their physical fitness is no longer a major concern.

October 12, local time in Europe.

Many mainstream football media outlets around the world have turned their attention to Turin, Italy.

It's not that I'm paying attention to Juventus.

Instead, it was the city's traditional sports media, Tuttosport.

The shortlist of 25 candidates for the 2017 European Golden Boy Award has been announced.

This award was established by Tuttosport in 2003, with voting by several major European football media outlets such as Bild, L'Équipe, France Football, and The Times.

The players nominated are all young talents under the age of 21 who play for European clubs.

Each player can only win the award once.

Stars such as Rooney, Messi, Fabregas, Aguero, Isco, and Pogba have all won the award.

Therefore, the European Golden Boy Award is also known as the Golden Ball Award for those under 21.

Chinese football media, bloggers, and fans have also paid more attention to it than before.

There were very few Chinese players who had played in Europe in the past, and almost none under the age of 21.

Moreover, they are qualified to select the world's best player under the age of 21.

This year is different!

常欢横空出世,从2016-2017赛季英超第38轮替补以来,到加盟罗马征战2017-2018赛季发挥极其出色。

He may not be comparable to super talents like Mbappe and Dembele, whose transfer fees exceed hundreds of millions of euros, but he certainly has the potential to be a contender for the European Golden Boy award.

As early as during the international match days, football enthusiasts gathered on platforms such as Dongqiudi, Zhibo9, and Mop, and there were already related speculations.

Chang Huan will definitely be included in the roster!

That's not...

Tuttosport was still releasing the shortlist at the last minute, and its website had been overwhelmed by Chinese fans.

Fortunately, the social media account did not have any problems and the candidate list was released on time.

Several major European football media outlets reprinted this 25-man squad list with pre-edited headlines.

Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé lead the 2017 European Golden Boy nominees.

The Premier League and La Liga had the most entries, with six players each.

Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (Liverpool), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton), Ward Peters (Tottenham Hotspur)

Dembele (Barcelona), Mayor (Real Madrid), Theo Hernandez (Real Madrid), Aaron Martín (Espanyol), Mor (Celta Vigo), Enes Unal (Villarreal)

Five Serie A players were selected, ranking third.

Donnarumma (AC Milan), Bentancur (Juventus), Chiesa (Florence), Diawara (Napoli), Chang Huan (Roma)

Three players each from the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 were selected, and two from the Eredivisie.

Augustin (RB Leipzig), Henrichs (Bayer Leverkusen), Pulisic (Borussia Dortmund), Mbappe (PSG), Saint Maximan (Nice), Tielemans (Monaco), Bergwijn (PSV Eindhoven), Dolberg (Ajax)

When Chinese fans saw Chang Huan's name on the Serie A roster, they were incredibly excited and felt a great sense of pride.

This is... the first Chinese player to be selected for the European Golden Boy award!

Asian social media accounts such as the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and ESPN Asia have reposted the article, giving the European Golden Boy award shortlist created by Tuttosport a unique title: "First Asian player to be shortlisted for the European Golden Boy award!"
