“Mario Gotze, who scored six goals and provided 15 assists in 33 Bundesliga appearances last season, was one of Dortmund’s heroes in regaining the Bundesliga title after nine years.”

“With his outstanding performances, Goetze was selected for the national team and scored his first goal for the national team in the warm-up match against Brazil in August.

‘So far this season, Goetze has scored five goals and five assists in 13 league appearances, ranking second only to Borussia Mönchen’s core Royce in the ‘Kicker’ player ratings.

This is what Turin Sport newspaper said about the prize-winning favourites.

From these figures, it is not difficult to see how outstanding Goetze’s performance in 2011 was.

But, alas, he met a better opponent.

In May 2011, Zhang Liang made his debut as Manchester United’s third goalkeeper, playing on penalties in the Champions League final. In the penalty shootout, Zhang saved five penalties from Barcelona to snatch the Champions League title from Barcelona. He then quickly conquered all Manchester United fans to become the new patron saint of this Premier League team. ”

“After nearly half a great season, Zhang Liang has won two trophies for Manchester United and is currently leading the Premier League with a winning record.

As two of the best players of the year, Goetze and Zhang Liang will inevitably be compared together by the media, and Torino Sport newspaper will be no exception.

“We believe that Dortmund are still very strong without Gotze. Without Zhang Liang, Manchester United would not have been so brilliant this season, especially in the fourth line! ”

“Therefore, when evaluating the performance of the season, Zhang Liang is stronger than Goce, both individually and decisively.”

“Goetze’s performance has been consistent and excellent this season. However, his opponent can no longer be described as excellent, or we should call Zhang Liang a ‘miracle’! ”

“Of the valid votes we received, more than 20 media outlets voted for the young Celestial Empire native.”

“In the eyes of these authoritative media, he is the first person who deserves to be the green golden boy this year.”

“Let’s congratulate this genius Celestial Empire goalkeeper, Zhang Liang!”

“Yes, he is the winner of the 2011 European Golden Boy Award!”

In 2011, the final winner of the European Golden Boy Award was Zhang Liang, the god of the Celestial Empire!

The dust has finally settled!

The title of the first person after the 90s finally belongs to Zhang Liang!

This young man, with his unremitting efforts and with his outstanding performance, conquered the discerning Westerners.

It also conquered every fan and became a worthy winner!

The European Golden Boy Award has a history of 9 years since its inception in 2003.

In these 9 years, a total of 9 leading figures of the new generation of football have been born.

Since the first edition, the young and handsome people who have received this honor are van der Vaart (Netherlands), Wayne Rooney (England), Messi (Argentina), Cesc Fabregas (Spain), Sergio Aguero (Argentina), Anderson (Brazil), Pato (Brazil) and Balotelli (Italy).

These young talents are all a momentary choice, and now they are either famous all over the world.

Either they play for the giants, they are all well-known stars in world football.

Now, among these people, there is another goalkeeper from the Celestial Empire, that is, the great Zhang Liang!

While being elected to the European Golden Boy Award, Zhang Liang gained capital comparable to those great stars.

His future will be limitless!

Moreover, Zhang Liang’s election also created a series of history!

He was the first Celestial Empire to be elected to the European Golden Boy Award, breaking the monopoly of European and American players on the award.

At the same time, he is also proving that Celestial Empire players can also play well, and football is not a game of Europe and the United States.

Moreover, Zhang Liang is the first goalkeeper to win the Golden Boy Award.

Russia’s “New Yasin” Akinfeev and Spain’s “Van der Sar” De Gea were close to the award.

But, in the end, they all failed.

Akinfeev lost to Aguero, while Degea lost to Balotelli.

On the way to making history, they all lost to strikers.

However, as a goalkeeper, Zhang Liang successfully defeated both strikers and midfield opponents.

It is not that the opponent of the competition is too weak, but because Zhang Liang’s own strength is too strong.

Even football superstars Drogba, Frank Lampard, Gerrard, Van Persie and others have fallen under Zhang Liang’s hands.

In terms of performance, Gotze, who helped Dortmund win the title, was no worse than Aguero and Balot, who ran for the Golden Boy Award that year.

If Goetze and Zhang Liang are not in the same session, maybe he will naturally take away the European Golden Boy Award.

The blame can only be blamed on Gotze’s bad luck, and the opponents he has met, even the winners of the Golden Boy Award, cannot be compared.

Therefore, Goetze can only bow his head and admit defeat, which is all fate.

The failure of Goce is Zhang Liang’s creation of history.

A goalkeeper who wins the European Golden Boy Award, whether the same thing will happen in the future, no one can say.

However, Zhang Liang has helped all the goalkeepers realize this dream.

The European Golden Boy is no longer a no-go zone for goalkeepers.

He is the first goalkeeper to win the European Golden Boy Award!

In addition, Zhang Liang also set a record.

That is: he is the youngest player to win the European Golden Boy Award!

Before him, the youngest player to win the European Golden Boy Award was Argentina’s genius Rio Messi.

In 2005, when Messi won the European Golden Boy Award, he was only 18 years old.

To be exact, it was 18 years and more than 5 months.

Zhang Liang’s age for winning the award is the same as Messi’s, both 18 years old.

However, Zhang Liang just celebrated his 18th birthday on November 20.

Now, less than a month after his birthday.

That is to say, Zhang Liang set a new record for the youngest age of the Golden Boy Award!

From the moment he won the award, Zhang Liang was already the youngest winner in the history of the European Golden Boy Award!

It is worth noting that among the previous award-winning players, the highest achievement is the youngest winner of the “former”, Messi.

Today’s Messi is La Liga champion, European Champions Cup champion and top scorer.

Such enviable trophies, rumors, Messi’s room can no longer fit, and had to build a private honor exhibition room dedicated to these honor trophies.

Such an honor may only be qualified to be compared with Ronaldo later.
