On the 23rd, the weather in Malaga was sunny and the temperature was 3 degrees Celsius.
This is an ordinary day in the cold winter, but for the city of Malaga, today is very lively.
Because Malaga will face Real Madrid tonight at the Rose Garden!
What makes this city lively is not only the fact that they have to compete with Real Madrid, but also because Malaga fans woke up to learn exciting news - Li Chuanqi won the European Golden Boy Award!
"According to the official website of Turin Sports News last night, Li won the 2012 European Golden Boy Award!"
Malaga Evening News, the largest-selling newspaper in Malaga, commented: "The European Golden Boy Award was founded in 2003 by the Italian newspaper Turin Sport.
Voting is conducted by important European media to select the best young player of the year, which is also considered an "coming of age ceremony" for young rookies.
The selection targets must be young players under the age of 21 who are playing for European clubs.
The first Golden Boy winner was the Dutch genius Van der Vaart, who was known as Cruyff II at the time.
Turin Sports Newspaper sends out votes to more than 30 European sports media every year. Each vote can be awarded a maximum score of ten. In the end, Turin Sports Newspaper is responsible for tallying the scores and awarding the "Golden Ball".
The European Golden Boy Award is the highest status award for young players in European football, and the winners represent the future of football.
Rooney, Messi, Cesc Fabregas and other stars have won this award, and they have now become football superstars.
Turin Sports Newspaper made a long comment, saying that Santa Malaga’s miraculous victory in the Copa del Rey was surprising, and Li took the greatest credit.
This summer, Li returned to Malaga. After the start of the season, he gradually became the team's main force and became the team's top scorer.
He scored a hat trick in his La Liga debut and has scored 22 goals in the thirteen La Liga games he has participated in so far!
An average of nearly two goals per game!
He scored eight goals in three games in the Champions League, occupying the top spot in the Champions League scorer list. Among them, he scored hat tricks in both rounds against Milan!
At the same time, he is closely chasing Messi and occupying the second place in La Liga's scorer list!
Such a terrifying number of goals is what a shooter dreams of, and an 18-year-old player actually achieved it!
It is precisely because of his outstanding performance that Malaga has achieved its current excellent results in La Liga and the Champions League this season after its rise last season.
The Champions League advanced to the knockout rounds of the top 16 two rounds in advance, and La Liga ranked second in the standings with a one-point disadvantage!
Among the scores from thirty media, Li received 230 points!
Twenty of the media gave him a perfect score of 10!
The second player is also from Malaga, Isco scored 30 points.
The gap is extremely obvious, and Li Shi deserves the title.
Before Malaga was about to start a highlight battle with Real Madrid, Li won the European Golden Boy Award, which was a great stimulus to him.
This newspaper interviewed Li on the phone for the first time last night.
He told this reporter that Turin Sports News had called him to inform him, hoping that he could go to Turin to receive the award, but the big game was about to happen and he refused.
'This award is just a spur to me. I will continue to work hard and help the team achieve more wins!'
When talking about the upcoming focus game, he was full of confidence: 'Real Madrid is a team worthy of respect. We have been in good form recently and our morale is high. I think we will win this game!'
We hope that the European Golden Boy Award will stimulate Li to perform well against Real Madrid!"
Real Madrid mouthpiece Marca commented: "It is gratifying and congratulatory for Li to win the European Golden Boy Award.
But we discovered a problem. Malaga has no record of playing against strong teams so far this season.
So whether Li is that good still has to be tested by Real Madrid's defense."
Marca is skeptical about Li Chuanqi, believing that he can only abuse his talent and swipe his data.
A true superstar must prove himself in games against strong teams to be a true superstar.
World Sports News added to the trouble for Ronaldo: "Li won the European Golden Boy Award. Messi has also won this award, but Real Madrid superstar Ronaldo has not won it. This shows that he was not recognized by the media in his youth."
Real Madrid is about to play against Malaga, and Li is about to compete with Ronaldo.
We hope that the Portuguese superstar will perform well in this game and set an 'example' for this junior, letting him know how to play as a forward!"
…
At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Chuanqi arrived at the training base on time.
"applause!"
When Li Chuanqi walked into the locker room, his teammates lined the streets to welcome him.
What puzzled him was that the South American gang was clearly on the list.
"congratulate!"
Joaquin, who was at the front of the queue, gave him a big hug: "European Golden Boy Award! Congratulations!"
Then his teammates hugged him one by one.
When hugging the South American gang, Li Chuanqi clearly felt that they were unnatural.
Especially when hugging Itura, his whole body was stiff and his voice was strange.
As low as a mosquito or fly.
Are you afraid of being beaten that time?
Li Chuanqi didn't care so much.
"Hopefully we can get good news tonight too!"
Joaquin said to everyone: "If you want to compete for the La Liga championship, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the hurdles that must be overcome!"
The atmosphere in the locker room is lively.
Only by defeating the strong can you prove that you are strong.
Malaga wants to be strong.
Itura didn't know what his psychology was, so he took the initiative to talk to Isco: "Two hundred and thirty points, it's really amazing. Isco, you are not bad either, you are ranked second!"
Damn, this is sowing discord.
Isco pouted and retorted: "Yes, he has 230 points, and I only have 30 points, which is a real difference of 200 points.
The difference is obvious.
Where do you rank?"
After saying that, he ignored Itura's expression and continued: "Oh, I remembered, your name doesn't seem to be on it.
By the way, you only came to Malaga in August, so your time in Europe was too short.
If you came last season…
That's not right, you seem to be twenty-four years old. Even if you came to Malaga last season, you are still over the age..."
Itura left Isco with a gloomy expression.
Li Chuanqi is now at the height of his power in Malaga, and with Pellegrini's warning, Itura does not dare to provoke Li Chuanqi.
So he will shift his target to Isco.
Who knew that Isco was not asking for any benefits, he was asking for trouble.
Even the members of the South American gang looked at him differently.
You can't stay in this place anymore, you must leave here next season!
Itura secretly made up his mind to leave Malaga.
…
Before the training officially started, Pellegrini specially called Li Chuanqi to his side.
"Yes, this should be the first important award in your career!
You must perform well tonight and give a reward to those who affirm and recognize you!"
