"... Zhou grew up at an incredible speed. Last season Schalke's magical performance was almost created by him, especially the elimination of Liverpool and the first round of the semi-finals against Manchester United. For the current Schalke fans, Zhou is the king in their hearts. In the past year, his light was enough to cover all the pride of European football. And he, from China...maybe from this From now on, it is time to re-examine the football in this country. The mysterious kingdom of Eastern civilization has never lacked such a dumbfounded miracle."

　　Zhou Tiancheng defeated Pato and Boyang and stood out from the top 70 rookies in the world's primaries. It looks logical from the process, but for European media, the more they are surprised. Before Zhou Tiancheng's emergence, Pato and Boyang's talents had already gained fame, but it was Zhou Tiancheng who finally won this award.

　　The birth of the first Asian gold boy.

　　 used the shot image of Zhou Tiancheng's penalty shootout at the last moment of the Champions League last season as the main picture, accompanied by such a text. Early in the morning of the next day, the business of newspaper booths in Gelsenkirchen was hot. Many bosses of newspaper booths specially brushed the newspapers with this news on the outside of the newspaper booths to attract fans.

　　 For the Gelsenkirchen people, although the coal mine resources began to decline, the city's status declined, but only the love of football and Schalke 04 has been passed down.

Sixty-six-year-old Danny Tenson stopped at the door of a newspaper kiosk that he passed by every day. His six-year-old grandson Cooper Tenson held his grandfather's hand while holding the ball at his feet. The old man's habit of seeing grandson is already strange, and only when there is football under his feet can the little guy stop.

　　 "Danny, early."

　　 "Early, Orr, give me a copy of today. Let me see what the big news is today."

　　Or, while holding the newspaper, said: "Today's biggest news must be Zhou, the last one, you are lucky."

　　 Uncle Tensen opened the newspaper and was surprised: "Isn't this week? He won the prize?"

　　 "Yeah, the Golden Boy Award. To be precise, this is already yesterday's news. The newspaper is slower."

　　 Uncle Tensen’s age is too old, and his ears are not so good. He ignored the Golden Boy Award, his eyes widened and exclaimed, "What? The Golden Globe Award? Chow won the Golden Globe? Compare those superstars?"

　　 "No, Danny, it's the Golden Boy Award, the best young player award under the age of 21, still worse than the Golden Globe Award."

　　 "Oh, this..." The old man's complexion returned to normal, and then said: "But I will not be too surprised that he will take the golden ball one day in the future."

　　 "Grandpa, Grandpa, he looks so handsome!" The young grandson Cooper looked at the beautified Zhou Tiancheng in the newspaper and shot his legs, screaming, his eyes shining straight.

　　 "My little Cooper, do you want to be a star in the future?" Uncle Tengsen asked kindly.

　　 Cooper shook his head gently: "What is a star, grandpa?"

　　 "It's what makes you look so handsome." Uncle Tengsen pointed to Zhou Tiancheng's picture and said.

　　 "Okay, as long as there is this every day." said the little guy, pointing to the football under his feet.

　　 "Then if you can have him every day in the future, will you feel happy?"

　　 The little one focused on the head this time.

　　'S boss Aol said: "Danny, your grandson is a football player, maybe you will be his grandfather, haha!"

Uncle Tensen looked at the little grandson. Of course he knew the talent of the little grandson. Even the coach of the school football team and the retired players who had played in the German Division II mobilized him to let the children receive more professional training, but Uncle Tensen had Concern, he does not want to let his grandson get sick in the future, he knows to be a professional player, which is inevitable. So he has been undecided. But look at the momentum of the little guy. There was a touch of shaking in my inner thoughts. Maybe this little guy can really try it.

When the outside world was very hyped about the winner of the Xinke Golden Boy Award Zhou Tiancheng, and another potential future star was influenced by him and was going to chase his football dream, the party Zhou Tiancheng was completely ignorant of all this and finally took a day off. , After a lazy sleep, he received a call from agent Roca.

　　 "Peter, if I guessed right, you are definitely more than congratulating me for winning."

　　 "Haha, the guess is correct, Zhou. Of course I still want to congratulate you, you know what it means to get the Golden Boy? It is a strong competitor of the Golden Globe Awards in the future!"

　　 "Okay, before I got it, it was useless to say anything, just say something?"

"Okay, I have been in China these two days. A brand on your side invites you to endorse their new products. Of course, they say it is a big portal, Sina, um, sina, is it a well-known brand? Of companies don’t know very well."

　　Zhou Tiancheng froze: "Really, what did they let me endorse?"

"They said they developed a social software called "Weibo", which has almost the same functions as Twitter. It has just been developed, and it is ready to be fully launched to the market after the end of the internal test. They want to speak with you. I think their conditions are pretty good. ."

　　 "Okay, talk to them as long as you think you can, and then talk to me when you need me. Give it to you, I am at ease."

　　Zhou Tiancheng This is the truth. The Adidas brand endorsement that Loka helped him really increased his trust in this agent's ability.

　　……

　　The team resumed normal training the next day. When Zhou Tiancheng came to the training base again, his teammates' eyes became very different.

　　 "What expression do you guys have? Is there something on my face?"

　　Hevedes shook his head: "No, everyone just thinks, how can you be so good."

There was obvious envy in this remark. Hevedes still remembers Zhou Tiancheng’s appearance when he first entered U19 and was very strange to the professional team. At that time, he felt that the Chinese was different from what he had heard, but Now who can think of this result?

　　 "Brother, let me touch, let me touch, soaked in the fairy spirit of the golden boy, and cultivated into a **** as soon as possible." Jiang Hao threw his face excitedly.

Magath said to everyone before training: "Zhou took Golden Boy, you are happy I can understand. If the season is over now, I can take your leave right away, and celebrate as you go, but now all focus on I took it back and prepared for the game against Mönchengladbach. Although we are ten higher than them in the rankings, the teams fighting for relegation are often more desperate. There are three rounds left in the half. Half-time champion, that 70% chance of winning the league title, boys."

The Bundesliga teams value the half-time champions before the winter break, only because of the law that "half-time champions have a 70% chance of winning the league championship," and Schalke’s last three opponents in the first half are It was Monchengladbach, Bremen and Hertha Berlin.

A former Bundesliga champion, Bremen is currently ranked third by only a quarter of the point, and is also a rival opponent. Magat originally focused on preparing for this game with Bremen, although he apparently put Monchenglad Bach said it is very important. In fact, he still has this confidence in his heart. As long as the team plays normally, there will be no surprises.

　　 But the score card after the end of the game was very dazzling, 0:1, the home team Schalke 04 in the front, the visiting team in the back.

The winning goal for Mönchengladbach is their current star Marco Royce, who won the penalty in the first half stoppage time, but Zhou Tiancheng was penalized for two yellows and one red in this defense. Is a real turning point.

Duan Xuan hit the nail when commenting after the game: "Zhou Tiancheng's red card hit the morale of Schalke 04 badly. This team is totally unable to adapt to the high-intensity game without Zhou Tiancheng. Rakitic is in The opponent was surrounded by targeted single-woods. Schalke once again highlighted the old problems of last season. He relied too much on Zhou Tiancheng. Rakitic was strong enough and had the ambition to be a core, but he was used to Zhou Tiancheng. The role of Luye has always been difficult to become the second core of the team, especially under the pressure of the opponents, they can not sort out the overall offense. Then they are in great trouble. If they lose to Bremen in the next round, they may He lost the top spot again and lost the half-time champion..."

Speaking of which, Duan Xuan didn't talk about it anymore, but anyone who understands understands what he means. Up to this season, in the season where Bayern won the half-time championship, the final Bundesliga champion has never fallen by. In this case, Schalke will be suspended this year.

　　 This scene is the biggest headache for Magath, Zhou Tiancheng will miss the next strong dialogue with Bremen.

　　After the game, Zhou Tiancheng was still the focus of attention in the mixed interview area.

　　 "Zhou Tiancheng, sure to get the Golden Boy Award, can you say a few words now?" Chinese journalists automatically ignored Zhou Tiancheng's red card in this game, and their focus was still on the Golden Globe Award.

Zhou Tiancheng didn't want to answer this question, especially when he was sent off and the team lost again, he felt that he was holding a disaster star in his hand, but the media had blocked his passage. In other words, you must let him show an attitude.

For the first time, Zhou Tiancheng got angry at the camera: "What do you want me to say? I deserve this award, and I'm determined to take the golden ball next? Oh, to be honest, I don't think this is How much honor, in your eyes, it may represent the sign of the future superstar, but look at last year’s Golden Boy Anderson, how is he mixed in Manchester United? I never think I have approached Messi Ronaldo level, and I I won the Golden Boy Award, and you saw it immediately afterwards. So, I won’t say what you want to hear. The judges can award this award to me, proving my persuasive performance over the past year, but This is just a small step, the road is still long."

　　After Zhou Tiancheng finished speaking, he squeezed away the reporter and left a group of reporters looking at him, digesting what he just said.

　　 "What does he mean, it feels like he can't look down on the Golden Boy Award?"

　　 "No, I think the team lost, but it's quite understandable. I only got the Golden Boy in the first two days, and then I got a red card in the game. It's you, don't you think you have been beaten?"

"Actually, Zhou Tiancheng made a very reasonable point, and this kind of mentality is preferable, at least more reliable than those who have won an award, and at least he knows the direction of promotion, and he will become a big player in the future." An age of forty The senior reporter of many years raised his glasses and said.

In the locker room after the game, Zhou Tiancheng stood up and first apologized to all his teammates: "This is the reason for me today. I should calm down when Royce breaks through me. I just wanted to stop him and forget my body. I’ve taken a yellow card and I’m responsible for this loss, but I promise that there will never be another time. The next game of Bremen is very important and can only be counted on.”

　　Westman immediately took the initiative to take the pot: "Week, how can this blame you all, I am also responsible. It should have been mine in the penalty area, you just came to help me defend."

　　 "What responsibility do you guys have, the goal has not been kept ~lightnovelpub.net~ I am the direct responsibility, Zhou, no matter how you can count it." Neuer took the sentence.

　　 Rakitic also said on the side: "Week was sent off for so long, did not bring the game back, it is my ability."

　　The cost of Zhou Tian came to me because of my mistakes, and now I am amused by the performance of this group of people. At the same time, I am very touched by my heart. I am really a group of good brothers!

"Okay, you don’t need to take responsibility for yourself. We have to reflect on losing, but don’t make everyone a critical meeting. I know what I’m doing. The performance of this game is not my normal level, but everyone Rest assured, we will play Chelsea at home in the Champions League three days later, and I assure you that I will be able to return to normal. This game is lost and I don’t think about it. There are two rounds before the end of the half-way, and there are nineteen at the end of the season. Round, losing one is not the end of the world. I don’t know what happened to Bayern, but the worst result is that we can still share with them. So the road is still long."

　　Zhou Tiancheng suddenly thought of himself when he said this sentence. As he said before the camera, the Golden Boy Award is not worth complacent, at least his highest goal now is to touch the top honors in world football.

　　He is now at most evolved from a small tadpole to a frog, but he is well aware of his struggle goal, otherwise it is easy to sink to the bottom of the well.

　　At least compared with Messi C Ronaldo, a giant crocodile in the world football, his current influence is still more limited to the Bundesliga. The Bundesliga is relatively weak in the top five leagues.

　　If we want to reach the level that people are watching, the road is still long.
