Midfielder Ruler

At the end of October, Tang Zheng was shortlisted for the 40-man European Golden Boy Award selected by "Turin Sports News", which largely shows that his ability has been recognized by well-known European media, and many Dortmund fans are very proud of it. If Tang Zheng Once he becomes this year's European Golden Boy Award, he will also become the first European Golden Boy Award winner in Dortmund and Bundesliga history.

Following Tang Zheng's inclusion in the 40-person shortlist for the European Golden Boy Award, some German media's attention has shifted. After all, Tang Zheng now represents not only Dortmund, but the entire Bundesliga.

Although Tang Zheng wasn't particularly outstanding in the past eleven league rounds this season, he still contributed a lot.

Especially in the two major derbies and the just-concluded three-game winning streak in the league, his limelight even overwhelmed many Bayern stars.

At the same time, Tang Zheng's being on the list has a lot to do with his excellent performance in the A League and Libertadores Cup this year.

In the first half of this year, his performance on behalf of River Plate was extremely amazing. With goals and assists, he helped River Plate win three consecutive league championships and also won the Libertadores Cup, which River Plate Club had been away for 12 years.

The mainstream media in Europe believe that the Libertadores Cup is on the same level as the Champions League, so this aura has a great added effect on Tang Zheng.

At the same time, many well-known media in South America broke the news that Tang Zheng, the South American Footballer of the Year selected by Uruguay's "National Newspaper" this year, is very likely to be elected. Glorious non-American players.

However, some American media denied this rumor. After all, Tang Zheng only had the first half of his career in the A-League and the Libertadores Cup. After transferring to the Bundesliga in the second half of the year, he was in a blank state during this period, and his chances of being elected were not high.

However, the well-known Argentine media "Clarion" insists that Tang Zheng will make history, whether it is the European Golden Boy Award selected during Christmas this year or the South American Footballer selected early next year, Tang Zheng is the best candidate.

Regarding this, the "Clarion" also listed a lot of evidence. The South American footballers who were elected in non-competition years in the past were all because of their outstanding performance in the Libertadores Cup, so they believed that Tang Zheng's chances of being elected were very high.

As for the European Golden Boy Award, the "Clarion" has more evidence and persuasion. Tang Zheng has not lost in the first game representing Dortmund, and the two games he lost have nothing to do with him. suspension.

Coupled with the excellent performances of the National Derby and the Ruhr Derby, Dortmund scored four points. During the period when the vice-captain Kyle was injured and Shaheen was suspended, Tang Zheng, who came back from the suspension, helped Dortmund win the fourth consecutive game with his outstanding performance. Winning, not only ranked sixth in the league, but also entered the quarterfinals of the German Cup.

Looking at the entire shortlist of forty people, only AC Milan's Pato, Fiorentina's Jovetic and Inter Milan's Balotelli can make comparable comments.

According to the performance and glory of the entire 2009, Tang Zheng definitely won.

There was a lot of discussion from the outside world about Tang Zheng being nominated for the European Golden Boy Award, which was gradually attracting attention in Europe, but Tang Zheng, who was involved, practiced day after day.

He occasionally talked on the phone or text message with Zhao Lina, who was far away in Frankfurt, to relax.

If he has time, he will also learn English from He Mengdi, who is proficient in multiple languages.

I don't know if it's because he is proficient in Portuguese and German in succession, but Tang Zheng's progress in learning English is very fast, so some players in the Dortmund team already called Tang Zheng a language geek.

After learning German in just one month, I can speak authentic German seamlessly in two months, and now I can occasionally speak a few words in English.

People are really more popular than people!

Especially for Barrios, he seems to have received 100,000 points of critical damage. He came to Dortmund earlier than Tang Zheng, and it is still difficult for him to communicate with his teammates in German...

Regarding this, Tang Zheng smiled without saying a word.

Because many things are not entirely due to talent, hard work also accounts for a large part of the reason.

Back then, in order to integrate into the team as soon as possible, Tang Zheng

In addition to two hours of German lessons every day, he also spends all available time watching German TV series, movies and listening to German radio, reciting words before going to bed and after waking up...

Success is not that easy.

"Congratulations, Don!"

Tang Zheng, who had just changed into his training shirt in the locker room of the training center, heard Hummels' congratulations, so he asked suspiciously, "Congratulations, what?"

"Don't you know?"

Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders: "I train every day, what can I know?"

After finishing speaking, he added: "Is the media talking nonsense again? Hey... If the media is talking nonsense, they won't be able to congratulate me. What's the matter?"

Hummels rolled his eyes at Tang Zheng, then patted Schmelzer on the shoulder, and gave him a look, meaning to let him speak.

Schmelzer understood what Hummels meant in seconds, rubbed his hands, and said with a serious face: "Yesterday, the official website of "Torino Sport" announced the list of forty candidates for this year's European Golden Boy Award. in."

"What?" Tang Zheng looked surprised: "I was selected for the 40-man squad for the European Golden Globe Awards?"

After hearing this, Hummels subconsciously gave Tang Zheng a look: "It's the European Golden Boy Award! Not the European Golden Globe Award! It's a young player under the age of 21 playing for a European club!"

"Let me just say, how could I be selected for the European Golden Globe Award? It scared me to death." Tang Zheng gave the original expression, and then thought about it, looked at Hummels meaningfully, and grinned: "Horse, you're done!"

"Help!"

Immediately there was a scream of Hummels in the locker room.

"Say, do you still dare to destroy brother's hairstyle?"

"Brother, Xiao Ma doesn't dare anymore, never again!"

...

Going home at night, Tang Zheng searched Google for 'European Golden Boy Award', and learned that he was indeed selected for the 40-man list

He looked at the other 39 candidates. Except for the three from Bayern who are more familiar with the famous Pato and Pastore, the other shortlisted players have basically never heard of them.

Of course, this has a lot to do with his focus on training all year round.

Then he read a lot of analysis, from "Gazzetta dello Sport" and "Gazzetta dello Sport" to "Bild" and "Kicker", Tang Zheng still recognized their analysis.

However, the analysis also believes that Tang Zheng has a high chance of not being elected. He played for Ajia in the first half of this year, and his results are not very convincing in the eyes of a large number of European media.

The second is the six candidates since the establishment of "Turin Sports News". Except for Cesc Fabregas who has the same position as him, the other five candidates are all scoring offensive players.

Therefore, whether it is Pato or Jovetic, there is a high possibility of being selected for this year's European Golden Boy Award.

But Tang Zheng didn't want to give up. This is the first personal honor he has had the opportunity to compete for since he logged into Europe. There is still one and a half months before the final result of the selection, which means that he still has enough time to prove to all the media with voting rights. , he is currently the best youth player in Europe under the age of 21!

Borussia Dortmund ended their league match against Hertha Berlin at home, and Klopp's coaching staff focused on their next formidable opponent Werder Bremen, who are currently ranked third in the league with only a goal difference disadvantage , is an opponent that should not be underestimated.

Last season they beat Bayern Munich 5:2 at the Allianz Arena. If it weren't for their lack of defensive ability, it is estimated that the league champion last season would be Werder Bremen.

"Don, you have to pay attention to No. 11 who helped defend Werder Bremen. His passes at the front of the penalty area are very imaginative and hard to defend."

In the multifunctional room of the hotel where he stayed in Bremen, Klopp strictly instructed Tang Zheng.

Tomorrow at the Weser Stadium, Tang Zheng will face off against Ozil.

Ozil, who is only 21 years old this year, was the second best player in the Bundesliga in assists last season, and he is the veritable midfield core of Werder Bremen. Therefore, Klopp emphasized before the game.

Tang Zheng had watched Ozil's match highlights during the preparation period, he was a very troublesome opponent, so he nodded seriously.

Although Shaheen's league ban has been lifted, Klopp has not included him in the starting lineup considering the impact of his suspension for the past four rounds. Tang Zheng's partner is defensive midfielder Sven Bender.

Still, Klopp was uneasy.

Tang Zheng performed well in offense, and the same is true in defense, which is why Klopp focused on telling Tang Zheng to help defend Ozil.

On the day of the game, the Weser Stadium, which can accommodate more than 40,000 people, was full of seats.

At a glance, it is a green ocean.

Tang Zheng took a meaningful look at the baby-faced Özil during the handshake session between the two players, but what impressed him most was the pair of very characteristic goldfish eyes, piercing.

There is no doubt that his goal in this game is to beat the German international!

It happened that Ozil also raised his head to look at Tang Zheng who was half a head taller than him. He smiled politely, but there was a lot of energy in his heart.

Before the start of the league, many media compared Dortmund's Tang Zheng with Werder Bremen's Ozil and Marin.

Because Marin's position is a winger, he was helplessly ignored by the media.

The German international footballer Ozil, who serves as a midfielder, became Tang Zheng's comparison target. The local media in Bremen found that Tang Zheng was taller, handsomer, and stronger in defense, but he didn't find anything else to compare with Ozil. place of comparison.

This season's Werder Bremen is ranked third in the league under the leadership of Ozil. If his personal scoring ability is stronger, not only the team's ranking will rise, but he will also become the top midfielder in Europe.

The Dortmund media naturally did not agree with the Bremen media. In their minds, Tang Zheng was very good, able to attack and defend well, and he was much more comprehensive than Ozil.

The point is, Tang Zheng is more handsome than Ozil!

handsome?

Can it be eaten as a meal?

Can you win?

Thinking of the relevant reports in Dortmund's local media, Ozil stroked the hair that had fallen from his forehead, and murmured in dissatisfaction.
