Chapter 164 Face Slapping Golden Boy Award, an invitation from the most authoritative media!
Chen Xiaoliang opened the envelope, and it was an invitation letter with gold letters on a black background on one side and gold letters on a white background on the other.
"2021 Golden Globe Awards Ceremony" is written in gold letters on a black background.
He turned it over and carefully looked at the specific content on the side of the white background:
"Dear Mr. Chen Xiaoliang:
We sincerely invite you to attend the 2021 Golden Globe Awards Ceremony held at the Chatelet Theater in Paris, France on November 11, 30, and participate in the selection of the award as a candidate for the 2021 Copa Award.
ditions Philippe Amaury Publishing Group's "L'Equipe" - "French Football"
Seeing Chen Xiaoliang's stunned look, Mourinho smiled and took out another invitation letter.
It was from the "Turin Sports Newspaper". The content was similar, and it was also a beautifully crafted card.
"Turin Sports Daily" also selects its own Ballon d'Or every year, but because this newspaper is very biased and is regarded as the mouthpiece of Juventus, their customer base is mainly Juventus and Turin. This also makes it completely impossible to compare with "L'Equipe" in terms of authority and influence.
The latter was founded in 1900 and is recognized as one of the most influential and authoritative sports daily in the world. "French Football" is its biweekly magazine. The magazine founded the Ballon d'Or in 1956 and has now been It is regarded as the highest personal honor in football.
However, in the selection of players under the age of 21, the European Golden Boy Award, established in 2003, was earlier and more famous.
"French Football" did not create the Kopa Award, which is also aimed at players under the age of 2018, until 21. It was named after the first French player to win the Ballon d'Or, Raymond Kopa.
Mourinho: "If the Golden Globe Awards and the Golden Boy Awards are judged by reporters, the Copa Awards are still interesting. Their judges are all living Golden Globe winners, at least they really understand. The ball is being selected, and those people will not vote randomly for a few stinky money, although some of them will still vote for people similar to themselves, but at least they are better than the group of reporters who don't know anything many.
How about, are you going to participate in both awards? "
Chen Xiaoliang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you going, head coach?"
Mourinho: "I have received all the invitations, but I didn't go to any of them. The games were very intensive in those days, and some people didn't want to see me, and I didn't want to see them, so I didn't give them to others. It's messed up."
Chen Xiaoliang: "Then what will happen if I don't go?"
Mourinho shrugged: "You have a showdown with that female reporter. According to what I know about Turin people, in this case, they would rather give the Golden Boy Award to a Spaniard than to a native A young man from a rival club.
In the same way, if the Golden Globe is finally given to Messi, the Turin people will definitely give Lewandowski the Turin Sports Golden Globe awarded by themselves.
Then you can make a big news in the newspaper, saying that the Frenchman's Golden Globe has been decided, and then criticize them.
But the Copa Award, I suggest you go to participate. After all, we are all public figures in this industry. It will not hurt you to show your face at the top of the football world. The boss will be very happy that Rome has a chance to go Players participating in the Golden Globe Award. "
Mourinho's choice is very consistent with what Chen Xiaoliang thinks in his heart.
Thinking of going to Turin to attend the Golden Boy Awards ceremony and seeing that Portman, Chen Xiaoliang felt nauseated.
"Then listen to you." Chen Xiaoliang replied respectfully.
"You boy, I obviously think so in my heart, but then I can say to the outside world that I won't let you go, and you are smarter." Mourinho picked up the invitation letter and pointed to Chen Xiaoliang, "Then I will let you go." The club replied to them."
"Fuck, you have seen all of this, you really have sharp eyes."
"Stop doing this." Although Mourinho said so, he was already happy in the face of Chen Xiaoliang's flattery.
"By the way, prepare a formal suit, and you can't wear a jersey to participate in the awards."
"Okay!" Chen Xiaoliang left Mourinho's office with the invitation letter.
In the next few days, the atmosphere of the team's training was relatively relaxed. Since the national team members all left the team to participate in international competitions, Mourinho did not do too much tactical training, and more of them were small-scale cooperative exercises. and intra-team competitions.
Because of the lack of people, Mourinho transferred a lot of players from the youth training team to mix and match with the first team to play together.
In the eyes of these young players, Chen Xiaoliang's defense is like an iron wall, and Mourinho does not stop him, allowing these young players to take turns challenging Chen Xiaoliang in the confrontation, to see who can pass him and then shoot. .
It wasn't until later that first-team players also joined the campaign.
Unfortunately, after one afternoon, no one succeeded in the challenge.
After returning home every afternoon, Chen Xiaoliang would go out for an hour of jogging with Erica. Her knee had almost recovered.
And because of her increasing popularity around the world after the Tokyo Olympics, the Roma club also hired her as a part-time physical coach for the team, just like Dortmund in the Bundesliga. In order to thank the Roma club team doctor for providing her with treatment and rehabilitation Training, happily accepted this identity.
On November 11, Chen Xiaoliang also went to the home stadium of the Italian national team, that is, the home stadium of Rome and Lazio, to watch the match between Italy and Switzerland. In the end, Jorginho kicked a penalty kick and the two sides drew 13-1.
Teammate Cristante came off the bench in 69 minutes, while Mancini sat on the bench throughout.
Compared with the slightly boring game, the director showed Chen Xiaoliang and the sisters in the stands several times.
In order to avoid the gossip magazine's clever writing, Chen Xiaoliang deliberately separated David and his son between the three.
Little David and Erica were arguing throughout the game as to who was better, the German team or the French team. They discussed the whole game without reaching a conclusion, and asked Chen Xiaoliang to judge several times.
However, the two Scots and the Germans reached a consensus on one point, that is, the England team is a bunch of flying!
After November 11th, the players who participated in the international competitions came back one after another, and the teenagers of the youth training team gradually faded out of the training of the first team.
On November 11, after all the players were assembled in good health, Mourinho started a new tactical arrangement.
He began to play in the team's confrontation, let Weiletu and Christante serve as double midfielders, and moved Chen Xiaoliang to the middle of the midfield.
But beforehand, he called Chen Xiaoliang to the office to communicate in detail.
Mourinho told Chen Xiaoliang that he had two considerations in his arrangement.
In short, ignoring the Golden Boy Award, which will be drawn on the 23rd and Chen Xiaoliang is determined not to attend, the Copa Awards will be selected soon, and the votes of the judges will be determined on the 27th.
Chen Xiaoliang's biggest competitor, Pedri, has just started resuming training and may not be able to play until January next year. Therefore, Chen Xiaoliang's votes for the away game against Genoa on the 1nd and the Europa League group match at home against Vitesse on the 22th. Last chance to show before coming out.
In terms of the odds of the Golden Boy Award, since Chen Xiaoliang rejected Portman, it has been falling almost every day. At present, Pedri’s odds have reached 2, while Chen Xiaoliang and Bellingham are 6.5 and 9 respectively, which means that It means that the Golden Boy Award no longer has any suspense.
Although "Torino Sport" did not say anything, several Italian sports journalists who had nothing to do with Chen Xiaoliang before frequently voiced their voices during the international competition cycle, questioning Chen Xiaoliang's achievements.
The arguments are nothing more than the same. The results of the Suchao cannot prove anything, and they cannot be compared with the data obtained by Pedri and Bellingham in La Liga and Bundesliga.
And the outstanding performance in the past few months in Serie A is only because the opponents are not familiar with him and don't pay attention to him.
The long-range shot against Lazio was obviously blinded, and the free kick against Milan was also blinded.
And so on, to put it bluntly, it is black.
Mourinho and Chen Xiaoliang didn't need to use their brains to know that these people were nothing more than gunmen that Portman used her network to find.
Last week, the Copa Awards also announced the final list of 10 candidates:
Paris Saint-Germain left-back, Nuno Mendes, 19 (Portugal)
Bayern Munich midfielder, Jamal Musiala, 18 (Germany)
Barcelona midfielder, Pedro Gonzalez Lopez, also known as Pedri, 19 (Spain)
Borussia Dortmund midfielder, Jude Bellingham, 18 (England)
Manchester United striker, Mason Greenwood, 20 (England)
Arsenal midfielder, Bukayo Saka, 20 (England)
Bayer Leverkusen midfielder, Florian Werz, 18 (Germany)
Ajax midfielder, Ryan Grafenberg, 19 (Netherlands)
Rennes striker, Jérémy Dokou, 19 (Belgium)
Roma midfielder, Chen Xiaoliang, 17 years old (Red Country)
Since each vote for the Copa Award can vote for 3 people, the scores are 5, 3, and 1, and most of the living Ballon d'Or winners are from traditional football powers, so they will give priority to votes for their compatriots, or The probability of this teammate is very high.
But at the same time, because the ballots will be published by "French Football" in the end, a certain degree of objectivity must be required. Therefore, Mourinho estimates that German Ballon d'Or legends like Matthaus, Sammer, and Beckenbauer, At the same time, he is also a legend of Bayern and Dortmund, and he will almost certainly give the first vote to Musiala and Wertz.
In the same way, Ronaldo and Figo will also vote for Nuno Mendes.
This is not because the judges are unfair, but after the votes are released, if the fans of the team find that their legends did not vote for their own players, it will cause a certain amount of negative public opinion on the Internet.
These days, even Golden Globe legends don't want to invite unnecessary online violence, unless the performance gap between the candidates is too obvious, so obvious that their fans feel that their competitors' performance is better.
So Mourinho judged that Chen Xiaoliang may get a lot of 2nd and 3rd places.
In the next two games, he served as an all-round midfielder and participated more in the offense, in order to allow Chen Xiaoliang to perform better.
Going further, the team has basically settled the transfer of the three defensive players in the winter window.
In Mourinho's plan, after the winter break, the team's defensive midfielder configuration in the second half of the season is to take turns to match Matic with Cristant and Wellertu, and let Chen Xiaoliang play an all-round midfielder, also for the sake of Give him more freedom.
On this point, the opinions of the entire coaching staff are very consistent.
In the position of the defensive midfielder, because he has to undertake a lot of frontal defense tasks, he cannot easily lose his position. Chen Xiaoliang's crossing ability cannot be used in many cases. Excellent heading ability to add to the direct attack.
Similarly, the configuration of the double midfielder restricts Chen Xiaoliang's freedom. The existence of the other midfielder often becomes the main target of the opponent's attack, and Chen Xiaoliang still needs to cover it to assist in defense.
It is better to simply put it in the middle of the midfield. While ensuring the defense of the midfielder, move Chen Xiaoliang's defensive coverage area forward to around the center circle, improve the ability of the midfield press, and further develop Chen Xiaoliang's unparalleled running ability.
All in all, assigning this position to Chen Xiaoliang is equivalent to giving Chen Xiaoliang a free tactical space, and it has also completely established his tactical position as the core of the team.
In the team confrontation, this tactical arrangement also achieved good results. Chen Xiaoliang's forward position not only did not weaken the defensive ability of the midfielder, but became another barrier in front of the two midfielders.
In the offense, he can freely decide whether to go forward to fight for the top or to pass from the side. The team's offense also shows signs of being revitalized, especially the offense initiated by the wing. In the team training, Cesco frequently After receiving a cross from Chen Xiaoliang, the backup defenders Kumbra and Trippi who defended him were embarrassed.
But in the end, training is always training, and you have to rely on the game to practice.
On November 11, the team assembled and set off for Genoa, preparing to challenge the Genoa team away on the 20nd.
For 12 days, 3 hours of team training and 2 hours of extra training each day brought Chen Xiaoliang 60 hours of training value.
Training value 16 → 76
In order to better cope with the new position, Chen Xiaoliang struggled for a long time, and added 60 points to the passing attribute with 3 training points.
Pass 10 → 13
Training value 76 → 16
2022年11月22日21点，路易吉·费拉里斯球场，34901张门票早早售罄。
Many Italian "scalpers" sold tickets at high prices outside the stadium.
They are surrounded by the police to maintain order.
An hour before the game, when the starting rosters of the two sides were announced, the fans and the media seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, and they became collectively excited.
Chen Xiaoliang, who has been continuously questioned about the water content on the Internet recently, unexpectedly left the midfielder position.
Behind him became the double midfielders of Christante and Wellertu, and the left and right wingbacks of Zalewski and Karlsdorp.
The three central defenders are still a combination of Ibanez, Smalling and Mancini.
The forwards are still Abraham and Sesco.
What shocked the fans even more was that the letter C, which symbolizes the captain, was placed next to Chen Xiaoliang's No. 33 jersey on the starting roster picture.
All of a sudden, "Magic Bird Supports the Red Country's Iron Waist, Responds to Reporter Questions", "Rome Changes, Captain Changes, Chen Xiaoliang Moves Forward, What Is Mourinho's Intent?" ""The captain changed without reason. After Madrid, London, and Manchester, the ghost-finding drama will be staged in Rome in version 4.0? " and other titles spread wildly on the Internet.
Compared with the reservations of many local fans in Rome, the fans of the Red Country are overjoyed. In their eyes, Pellegrini should have given way long ago. Although there are some voices of doubt, they are worried about Chen Xiaoliang's dribbling and Possession of the ball may not be suitable for this position, but it was quickly covered by the voice of expectation.
You know, the fans who are going to watch the game at 3:45 am in the Red Country are all rushing to Chen Xiaoliang.
When the two sides walked out of the player tunnel, Chen Xiaoliang, who was standing at the end, walked first with the team flag in his hand. Behind him was still the vice-captain Mancini.
And the last position became Sesco.
Without any interlude, the game started on time at 21:45 local time in Italy.
Sesco kicked off the ball in the middle circle and passed it back to Chen Xiaoliang. Chen Xiaoliang didn't stop the ball and split it to the left to Zalewski.
The Polish teenager ran all the way at the beginning.
同样踢3-5-2阵型的热那亚，全队身价不到6000万欧元，目前积9分排在第17位。
Coincidentally, this point and position are exactly the same as the Venetian before the last round.
But the formation Mourinho sent today is an all-main formation, and there is no room for any mistakes in the result.
Genoa's 28-year-old right winger Sabelli was passed by Zalewski before he could react.
In the middle, Abraham, Cesko and Chen Xiaoliang plugged in together.
Genoa's right central defender Bilaski had to defend in the penalty area, and this time Zalewski got a wide passing space in the left penalty area.
It is too fast!Genoa didn't expect that Rome didn't even have foreplay, and went straight to the penalty area!
How can it be like this!
Zalewski took advantage of Genoa's two defensive midfielders to catch up to the penalty area line, and made a low and flat inverted triangle pass. Abraham suddenly sprinted and fell to the ground to tackle the shot!
The old goalkeeper of the Italian national team, Sirigu, tried his best to block the eye-catching, and he did not hesitate to collide with Abraham, but also fell to the ground and threw himself at the ball.
The two really collided!The flying ball was hit by Siligu with a single punch and flew out of the penalty area.
Chen Xiaoliang, who kept up with him, overwhelmed the opponent's Croatian midfielder Badelli, jumped up and headed the ball towards Cesko on the right!
Cesko understood, ran forward and headed the ball!
The ball is in!
0 is better than 1!
The defenders of Genoa collectively raised their hands, signaling Cesko to be offside!
The referee of this game did not dare to be careless, because the referees of the previous two games in Rome were found to have made major misjudgments by the league committee after the match. "Penalty" to play two rounds in Serie B.
The Roman media headed by "Corriere dello Sport" criticized the Serie A organizing committee, and fans also left messages on the Internet criticizing the fairness of the league.
Therefore, in order to calm things down, the referee of this game must be absolutely fair.
Less than a minute after the opening, he ran to VAR, watching back and forth while listening to the opinions of the video referee team.
The referee was in pain, because judging from the perspective of "body hair offside", Sesco's ball was really offside.
The 0.1 seconds where the offside line is drawn becomes very important.
Goals count, you will be attacked by fans and newspapers from other places after the game, if goals don't count, Roma will definitely continue to make things worse.
After hesitating for a while, the referee finally made up his mind and said that the goal is valid!
The Genoa fans booed collectively, and the Roma players finally hugged together to celebrate!
Barrage:
[The magic bird is awesome!Chen Xiaoliang is awesome! 】
[Is this going in?Feel so relaxed]
[Nonsense, this is Chen Xiaoliang, if Pellegrini appeared in this position, I will definitely give you an anti-aircraft gun, pass the ball?It does not exist, I am the absolute core of No. 7 Rome, how can I pass the ball]
[Genoa's starting price is only 3320 million euros plus one piece. Baddeley who defends against Chen Xiaoliang is worth 100 million euros, which is not as good as Chen Xiaoliang's one toe... Sabelli who defends against Zalewski is worth 150 million euros. If it's not easy for the relegation favourites, Bird should stop shouting the championship slogan]
[This Serie A is far inferior to the Premier League. The top of the Premier League kicks off the pound, and it may be overturned]
[Who says it's not as good?You can see in a while, the referee is about to help]
Thanks to the club director [Flame Elements] monthly pass!

Chen Xiaoliang opened the envelope, and it was an invitation letter with gold letters on a black background on one side and gold letters on a white background on the other.
"2021 Golden Globe Awards Ceremony" is written in gold letters on a black background.

Chen Xiaoliang's biggest competitor, Pedri, has just started resuming training and may not be able to play until January next year. Therefore, Chen Xiaoliang's votes for the away game against Genoa on the 1nd and the Europa League group match at home against Vitesse on the 22th. Last chance to show before coming out.
In terms of the odds of the Golden Boy Award, since Chen Xiaoliang rejected Portman, it has been falling almost every day.

And so on, to put it bluntly, it is black.
Mourinho and Chen Xiaoliang didn't need to use their brains to know that these people were nothing more than gunmen that Portman used her network to find.
Last week, the Copa Awards also announced the final list of 10 candidates:
Paris Saint-Germain left-back, Nuno Mendes, 19 (Portugal)

The three central defenders are still a combination of Ibanez, Smalling and Mancini.
The forwards are still Abraham and Sesco.
What shocked the fans even more was that the letter C, which symbolizes the captain, was placed next to Chen Xiaoliang's No. 33 jersey on the starting roster picture.
All of a sudden, "Magic Bird Supports the Red Country's Iron Waist, Responds to Reporter Questions", "Rome Changes, Captain Changes, Chen Xiaoliang Moves Forward, What Is Mourinho's Intent?" ""The captain changed without reason. After Madrid, London, and Manchester, the ghost-finding drama will be staged in Rome in version 4.0? " and other titles spread wildly on the Internet.
Compared with the reservations of many local fans in Rome, the fans of the Red Country are overjoyed. In their eyes, Pellegrini should have given way long ago. Although there are some voices of doubt, they are worried about Chen Xiaoliang's dribbling and Possession of the ball may not be suitable for this position, but it was quickly covered by the voice of expectation.
You know, the fans who are going to watch the game at 3:45 am in the Red Country are all rushing to Chen Xiaoliang.
When the two sides walked out of the player tunnel, Chen Xiaoliang, who was standing at the end, walked first with the team flag in his hand. Behind him was still the vice-captain Mancini.
And the last position became Sesco.
Without any interlude, the game started on time at 21:45 local time in Italy.
Sesco kicked off the ball in the middle circle and passed it back to Chen Xiaoliang. Chen Xiaoliang didn't stop the ball and split it to the left to Zalewski.
The Polish teenager ran all the way at the beginning.
同样踢3-5-2阵型的热那亚，全队身价不到6000万欧元，目前积9分排在第17位。
Coincidentally, this point and position are exactly the same as the Venetian before the last round.
But the formation Mourinho sent today is an all-main formation, and there is no room for any mistakes in the result.
Genoa's 28-year-old right winger Sabelli was passed by Zalewski before he could react.
In the middle, Abraham, Cesko and Chen Xiaoliang plugged in together.
Genoa's right central defender Bilaski had to defend in the penalty area, and this time Zalewski got a wide passing space in the left penalty area.
It is too fast!Genoa didn't expect that Rome didn't even have foreplay, and went straight to the penalty area!
How can it be like this!
Zalewski took advantage of Genoa's two defensive midfielders to catch up to the penalty area line, and made a low and flat inverted triangle pass. Abraham suddenly sprinted and fell to the ground to tackle the shot!
The old goalkeeper of the Italian national team, Sirigu, tried his best to block the eye-catching, and he did not hesitate to collide with Abraham, but also fell to the ground and threw himself at the ball.
The two really collided!The flying ball was hit by Siligu with a single punch and flew out of the penalty area.
Chen Xiaoliang, who kept up with him, overwhelmed the opponent's Croatian midfielder Badelli, jumped up and headed the ball towards Cesko on the right!
Cesko understood, ran forward and headed the ball!
The ball is in!
0 is better than 1!
The defenders of Genoa collectively raised their hands, signaling Cesko to be offside!
The referee of this game did not dare to be careless, because the referees of the previous two games in Rome were found to have made major misjudgments by the league committee after the match. "Penalty" to play two rounds in Serie B.
The Roman media headed by "Corriere dello Sport" criticized the Serie A organizing committee, and fans also left messages on the Internet criticizing the fairness of the league.
Therefore, in order to calm things down, the referee of this game must be absolutely fair.
Less than a minute after the opening, he ran to VAR, watching back and forth while listening to the opinions of the video referee team.
The referee was in pain, because judging from the perspective of "body hair offside", Sesco's ball was really offside.
The 0.1 seconds where the offside line is drawn becomes very important.
Goals count, you will be attacked by fans and newspapers from other places after the game, if goals don't count, Roma will definitely continue to make things worse.
After hesitating for a while, the referee finally made up his mind and said that the goal is valid!
The Genoa fans booed collectively, and the Roma players finally hugged together to celebrate!
Barrage:
[The magic bird is awesome!Chen Xiaoliang is awesome! 】
[Is this going in?Feel so relaxed]
[Nonsense, this is Chen Xiaoliang, if Pellegrini appeared in this position, I will definitely give you an anti-aircraft gun, pass the ball?It does not exist, I am the absolute core of No. 7 Rome, how can I pass the ball]
[Genoa's starting price is only 3320 million euros plus one piece. Baddeley who defends against Chen Xiaoliang is worth 100 million euros, which is not as good as Chen Xiaoliang's one toe... Sabelli who defends against Zalewski is worth 150 million euros. If it's not easy for the relegation favourites, Bird should stop shouting the championship slogan]
[This Serie A is far inferior to the Premier League. The top of the Premier League kicks off the pound, and it may be overturned]
[Who says it's not as good?You can see in a while, the referee is about to help]
Thanks to the club director [Flame Elements] monthly pass!
