Chapter 304 Interview with "Torino Sport"
******
At this time in 2005, many Chinese fans didn't know what the European Golden Boy Award was, even those senior football commentators didn't know.
But later, under the translation of major portal websites, fans in China finally knew what this award was.
This... is quite an award!
It was founded by the Italian "Turin Sports" in 2003. It is voted by important European media to select the best young player of the year.
Of course, what attracted their attention the most was the section 'Voted by important European media to select 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 have begun to look forward to Ai Luo's future achievements. At the age of 19, he won the best player under the age of 21. What about the future?
European Ballon d'Or?
World Footballer? ?
This achievement of Ai Luo can be said to be an additional dawn for Chinese football, which is currently in a dark period. At the same time, it also gives Chinese football-obsessed fans another support and expectation!
Especially the growth of Ai Luo in the past year, which was witnessed by most fans!
From the 2005 World Youth Championship in the Netherlands to this year's La Liga, every game has not been lost. It can be said...they are the witnesses of a legend!

Aiello won the European Golden Boy Award. In addition to the Chinese media being happy, the Spanish media are the most happy. After all, Aiello's success started from La Liga. From another perspective, he is a player trained by La Liga.
At the same time, it is also a recognition of La Liga in world football!
Among them, the local media in Valencia were the happiest. On the second day after Aiello won the European Golden Boy Award, "Valencia Sports" became the headline of the day with the headline "Prince Reaching the Top". Enrique Wien, who was promoted to editor-in-chief because of Aiello's relationship, wrote in the text, "A year and a half ago, would anyone have thought that there would be a Valencia player who won the European Golden Boy Award? No! I am the same as everyone, and I have to apologize. What's going on..."
"...This award is not only a recognition of Ai's dedication this year, but also a support! The best player in Europe under the age of 21!! Then... What about the European Ballon d'Or in the future, World Footballer of the Year? Oh my God! Did I think a little too much? No! I didn't think too much...With his (Aiello) current performance, it is only a matter of time before he is recognized by the editors of "French Football". What we are worried about is his performance in the national team..."
Enrique Wien's analysis here is very reasonable, so the sales in Valencia on this day are also very good.
"Marca" used "the winner without any suspense" as the headline of this issue. Although Aiello is not a player in Madrid, he represented Spain in winning this award. Naturally, praise is indispensable. "The success of being elected to the European Golden Boy Award is due to his rapid progress in the past year. Valencia won the UEFA Cup in the 04-05 season. , and won the World Youth Championship, it can be said that he has achieved great success..."
This time, the "Mundo Deportivo" from Catalonia sang a different tune. They believed that Messi, who also participated in this summer's World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, should win this award. "As discussed before, whether it is in terms of contribution to the team on the court or personal performance off the court, Barcelona's Leo Messi is much better than Valencia's Ai, but why is the winner from Valencia's Ai? Could it be..."
"World Sports News" began to question the selection of "Turin Sports News", because their first vote was given to Leo Messi.
At present, "Turin Sports Daily" only announced the names of the winners, and did not announce the final scoring results.
All of this can only be explained when Ai Luo goes to Turin to accept the award.
******
Originally, Valencia had a home game against Mallorca before the winter break, but the head coach Flores seemed very humane this time, and specially gave Ai Luo an early holiday.
So the day before the final round in Valencia, Aiello showed up at the headquarters of Gazzetta dello Sport, accompanied by his agent Papa Adrian.
When Aiello received the trophy symbolizing the European Golden Boy Award from Paulo Drapau, editor-in-chief of "Turin Sports", more than 20 European sports media previously invited by "Turin Sports" to participate in the selection all pressed the shutter in their hands.
Ai Luo was wearing a fashion carefully designed by Donatella Versace, holding the golden football trophy he just received in both hands, looking extraordinarily handsome!
In fact, it is no wonder that everyone dubbed the European Golden Boy Award the European Golden Globe Award for under 21 years old, because it looks so similar just from the appearance!
Among these reporters, the ones from China are the craziest.
Their eyes were full of scorching light, looking at Ai Luo seemed to see the bright future of Chinese football...
Among the Chinese reporters, Ai Luo is most familiar with Qi Liuhai from the "Football News". At this moment, he kept calling his colleagues, "I know Ai Luo very well, and I will definitely get the right to interview him!"
Ai Luo looked at the long guns and short cannons and various flashing lights in front of him, and then looked at the "golden ball" in his hand and subconsciously thought: next year...will the one in his hand be a real golden ball?
******
After the reporters finished filming, Padovan, the football editor-in-chief of "Torino Sport", announced the top five scores of the European Golden Boy Awards.
The voting rule for the Golden Boy Award is that each judge selects 5 players from the candidates and scores them according to their rankings, No. 110 points, No. 27 points, No. 35 points, No. 4 three points, No. 51 points. The one with the highest score will win the Golden Boy Award.
Surprisingly, Ai Luo ranked first with an absolute advantage of 291 points.
Although the results had already been obtained, the reporters who attended the award ceremony of the "Turin Sports News" couldn't help but gasped when they saw the final score.
This score is too perverted.
In second place is Barcelona's Lionel Messi with 109 points.
Wayne Rooney of Manchester United ranked third with 73 points
Also coming in fourth is Manchester United, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring 54 points.
In fifth place is Cologne's Podolski with 32 points.
Logically speaking, this year's European Golden Boy Award winner Aiello's performance is currently the best young player under the age of 21 in Europe, there should be no suspense!
Since no one has played like him this year, there's been...a problem.
Achieving 291 points means that 29 of the [-] ratings gave Ai Luo a perfect score of [-], so the remaining one point... Which newspaper gave it?
So, the media of these good things began to interview the editor-in-chief Paul Drapau, and asked which [-] of the [-] judges this year were.
Soon... these reporters saw a name, "World Sports News" --- Juan Carlos.
When everyone saw the name, they all suddenly realized!
In European football, almost everyone knows the grievances between Aiello and Juan Carlos, so... Juan Carlos also bears the nickname of narrow-minded.
At the same time, he has also become a laughing stock in European football.
Because when everyone recognized Ai Luo's success, he was the only one who voted stingily.
In fact, what everyone doesn't know is that if it weren't for the fact that he was forced to, Juan Carlos would not have voted for a point.

After the awarding of the "Turin Sports Daily", Aiello accepted an exclusive interview with the "Turin Sports Daily".
This interview is very simple, it is the journey of Ai Luo from China to Spain, and how to change from the youth team to the adult team.
Interviews are no strangers to him. He had an exclusive interview with Enrique Wien when he was in the youth team, and he also accepted an exclusive interview with his hometown newspaper "Xiaoxiang Daily" after his hat-trick at the Bernabéu.
However, this interview gave Ai Luo a different feeling. One is the difference in mentality, just like the first time he was in elementary school and won the certificate of three good students. There was joy and excitement, because it was a recognition of his silent dedication.
As the saying goes, one minute on stage and ten years off stage.
The second is that he is no longer the stunned young man he was at the beginning. He is now the best player under the age of 21 in European clubs, that is, "Mr. European Youth Footballer", and his status is also different!
Aiello knew that from this moment on, he would be the target of many young players.
Therefore, he must also work harder and harder to prevent these chasing people from surpassing him!
Especially Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the two future kings, after the 2006 World Cup in Germany, both of them will start to explode, setting off a youthful storm in the world football!
"It's a great honor to interview you!"
Editor-in-Chief Paul DePaula stood up with a smile and held out his right hand.
"Me too, I can get an interview with your newspaper!"
Similarly, Ai Luo also stood up with a smile, and stretched his right arm over.
"Come on! Hope to see you again this time next year..."
Ai Luo 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 Golden Globe in Paris, France first."
After finishing speaking, Ai Luo also raised the 'Golden Boy Award' trophy in his hand.
"Haha..." Paul Drapau patted Aiello on the shoulder and blinked at the same time, "If your amazing performance can last from the beginning of next year to the end of next year, no matter how other judges vote, my vote will definitely go to you!"
"Hahahaha, that's great!"
The exclusive interview of "Torino Sport" ended with the handshake between Aiello and editor-in-chief Paul De Paula.
PS: The national football team lost yesterday, so I have a bad mentality! !
