Asian media are also envious and jealous of Zhao Yang's performance.
Especially Japan and South Korea, which are so close together.
As China becomes increasingly prosperous and powerful, the only sport in which Japan and South Korea can stand out against China is football.
In recent years, China's economy has become stronger and stronger, but its football has become worse and worse. It is basically second-rate in Asia.
Experts all believe that within twenty years, Chinese football will not be able to compare with powerful countries like Japan and South Korea.
But he never expected that in the overall sluggish situation of Chinese football, Zhao Yang, who was born in La Liga, would emerge from the top and win the La Liga Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot in one fell swoop, becoming a rising star.
Originally, Korean star Son Heung-min and Japanese star Shinji Okazaki also performed very well this season.
Shinji Okazaki even helped small teams like Leicester City win the Premier League title.
In the past, these two stars were definitely able to compete for the Asian Footballer of the Year and the Asian Golden Globe Award.
But with Zhao Yang's magical performance this season, these two stars have been eclipsed in comparison.
"The top scorer in La Liga! It's really hard to imagine that this was accomplished by a Chinese player! But this is also due to Messi's injury and Ronaldo's poor condition, otherwise Zhao Yang would never be able to win the Golden Boot."
South Korea's naversports said sourly.
"It's gratifying that Zhao Yang won the La Liga Golden Boot! If Sun Xingmin stays in the Bundesliga, he also has hope to compete for the top scorer. It is more difficult in the Premier League. The competition in the Premier League is fierce and it is the best league in the world." South Korean media "osen"
” said this in the report.
The Japanese media are also very bitter, but they are not as obvious as South Korea.
Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" commented, "Zhao Yang is the light of Asia. He has given voice to the yellow race. However, I hope Zhao Yang will go to a wealthy team as soon as possible. It is difficult to win the championship in a club like Espanyol."
"Nikkan Hyundai" commented: "Congratulations to Zhao Yang for winning the La Liga Golden Boot! Zhao Yang's sudden rise may change the pattern of Asian football. In the World Cup qualifiers in the second half of the year, South Korea and Iran should pay attention. The Chinese team is in Zhao Yang's
Under leadership, it may become very difficult to deal with.”
Overnight, Zhao Yang once again shocked the world!
