Chapter 117 The Golden Boy
After the game, the French media set off another wave of super reports.

"Super Zhang Da Sixi, Lyon beats Paris away"

"The king of lore reappears, and the suspense of the Ligue [-] championship increases greatly"

"Super Zhang and super performance, Paris suffered the first defeat of the season at home"

After Lyon defeated Paris in an away game, both Lyon and Greater Paris had 45 provisional points, but Greater Paris overwhelmed Lyon to top the list with its goal difference advantage.

As long as there are no mistakes in the last round before the winter break, Paris can still win the winter break championship.

But also because of the loss to Lyon, Paris's half-time points reached at most 48 points, failing to break Lyon's record of 50 points.

After returning to Lyon, Zhang Chaoqiang quickly received news from the Italian "Turin Sports News", saying that he had successfully won the European Golden Boy Award in 2015.

Subsequently, "Turin Sport" announced the voting details in the newspaper.

Among the accumulative votes of 40 media reporters, 21 voted for Zhang Chaoqiang first, 10 voted second, 4 voted third, 2 voted fourth, and 1 voted fifth.

According to the selection rules of the Golden Boy Awards, the first vote is worth 10 points, the second vote is worth 7 points, the third vote is worth 5 points, the fourth vote is worth 3 points, and the fifth vote is worth 1 point.

So Zhang Chaoqiang scored 307 points in total.

The second-ranked Martial scored 184 points, and the third-ranked Kingsley Coman scored 102 points.

It can be said that Zhang Chaoqiang won the 2015 European Golden Boy Award with a big advantage.

However, Martial's score is not low, and he is out with a high score.

In a year when the overall performance of the Golden Boy is relatively average, such as the 2012 Golden Boy Award, the scores of the candidates are scattered. At that time, several players scored more than 137 points, and Isco, who won the award in the end, was only elected with [-] points, not yet the runner-up this year. Martial High.

Zhang Chaoqiang successfully won the Golden Boy Award and naturally created a series of records.

The first Asian player to win this award, and also the first Ligue [-] player to win this award.

Previously, players from Eredivisie, Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga had won awards, and now it is finally the turn of Ligue [-].

After the results of the awards were announced, the "Turin Sports News" quickly organized the awards.

Zhang Chaoqiang dressed up and went to Turin with his agent to receive the award.

After raising the trophy known as the best honor for young players, Zhang Chaoqiang thanked:

"I am very grateful to the organizers and the journalists and media who voted for me. This is a very special moment. From the day I came to play in Europe, I was eager to win various trophies."

"Now that I have successfully won the Golden Boy Award, I have accomplished one of my important goals."

"But I firmly believe that this is just the beginning and far from the end."

"Finally, I want to dedicate this trophy to my parents, my fans, all those who silently supported me. It is everyone's support that gives me the motivation to move forward."

After winning the trophy, Zhang Chaoqiang accepted an exclusive interview with the new "Golden Boy" of "Torino Sport" as usual.

The content of the exclusive interview is nothing more than topics of looking back to the past and looking forward to the future, so it is inevitable to ask about the transfer issue.

"Zhang, recently more and more wealthy families have expressed their close attention to you. Where do you think your future will be?"

"I want to wait until the end of the season to seriously consider this issue."

Zhang Chaoqiang did not answer directly, but has made it clear that he will leave Lyon after the season.

※※※

On December 12, in the middle of the week, when Zhang Chaoqiang was about to go to Turin to receive the award, the Lyon team had already played the French League Cup round of 16.

Fournier arranged a full rotation to play, and finally defeated the French third team Tours 2:1 at home with the goals of Ghazal and Cornet, and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

According to the arrangement of Lyon's coaching staff, Lyon's goal this season is still the league and the European competition. The two domestic cups are arranged for substitute players to play. How far they can play counts.

On December 12, in the 20th round of Ligue 19, Lyon played against newly promoted Ajaccio at home.

As the final game of the first half of the schedule, and against a newly promoted team, Lyon is naturally bound to win.

In the home team locker room before the game, the scene was very lively.

"This is the Golden Boy Award trophy?"

"beautiful."

"If I can win such a trophy, then my career will not be in vain."

"Hey, captain, you're almost 30 years old, and it's almost time for your son to get it in a few years."

"Zhang, have you slept with the trophy in your arms in the last two days?"

"If I can get a trophy of this level, I will definitely sleep with the trophy for three nights."

"Zhang has to be busy hugging his girlfriend, so he may not have time to sleep with the trophy in his arms."

Amidst the uproar, Lyon personnel came to remind.

So Zhang Chaoqiang went out from the player tunnel with the trophy and entered the Olympic Stadium in advance.

This is the Lyon official preparing for him to display the trophy before the game.

"Now we invite our super golden boy - Zhang!!"

The stadium DJ shouted loudly, and Zhang Chaoqiang officially entered the stadium holding the trophy.

"Golden boy!! Golden boy!!"

"Golden boy!! Golden boy!!"

Zhang Chaoqiang stood in the middle of the court, holding the trophy above his head with both hands.

The reporters at the scene clicked to take pictures, and there was a tidy cheer in the stands.

"Zhang Chaoqiang is showing Lyon fans that he has just won the European Golden Boy Award. This is a trophy with a very high gold content, and it is also Zhang Chaoqiang's first important personal trophy in his career."

"There is no doubt that Zhang Chaoqiang is an unprecedented player. He represents a new height of our Chinese football. He is a well-deserved number one in China."

"Whether active or in the entire history of football, Zhang Chaoqiang is number one in China!"

The domestic commentator was extremely excited and was singing praises for Zhang Chaoqiang.

When the game officially started, the commentator kept cheering for Zhang Chaoqiang.

Every time he takes the ball, passes the ball, or dribbles, he can find something to say.

It's a pity that Ajaccio, who is aiming to relegation, is puzzled and puts up a big iron bucket at Lyon's home court.

The game continued until the 64th minute of the second half when Lyon broke the deadlock with a corner kick.

Valbuena takes a corner kick, Lacazette grabs a header, but it is blocked by the opposite goalkeeper.

Zhang Chaoqiang squeezed away the French defender in front of him and made a poke, successfully poking the ball into the opponent's goal.

"Strong goal!! A beautiful follow-up shot!"

"Zhang Chaoqiang showed excellent sense of smell in front of the goal and quick reaction. The Ajaccio defenders didn't even react. Zhang Chaoqiang had already grabbed ahead of time and scored with a supplementary shot."

In fact, it was just an ordinary supplementary shot.

In the 72nd minute, Lyon took another corner kick and Tolisso scored with a header.

In this way, Lyon defeated Ajaccio 2:0 at home and successfully won the final game of the first half of the schedule.

But because Paris on the other side defeated Caen 3-0 with Ibrahimovic's brace, there were no surprises.

So Lyon missed the half-time championship.

Even if you score a very expensive half-time 48 points.
