Chapter 019
"Great Competition, Great Promotion"
Over the years, the Ligue 1 has gradually declined. To put it nicely, it is one of the five major leagues. However, in fact, when people talk about mainstream European leagues, they refer to the Premier League, La Liga and Ligue 1. At most, the Bundesliga is not taken seriously. Not to mention anything else, these four major leagues are the most popular in football broadcasts in various countries around the world, and the Ligue 1 is much worse. Some countries even do not broadcast Ligue 1 games because there are few viewers who view Ligue 1.
Therefore, every Champions League match, if the French football team can perform well, especially when facing giant teams, they will be proud of it.
After the competition, the expected hymns will happen as expected.
It seems that overnight, everyone was happy for the performance of the Marseille team. They gave praise to the Marseille team, and the second-scoring gala was praised to the sky. This is how the media is. When defaming you, they can step on you and stomp you hard. When praising you, they can blow you to the sky and make you flutter.
Zhang Yang became the focus of French media discussion. His two goals in yesterday's game were broadcast repeatedly on the sports channel of France National One and on the prime time of Marseille's "official TV station" om TV station.
Especially the goal he scored in injury time attracted even more applause.
In fact, this ball is absolutely beautiful!
Under the clamping defense between Martini and Gattuso, this young man, who has always been known for his small skills in others' impression, actually broke away from the defense of the two with a Cruyff turning move, and then scored with a burst shot!
Whether it is ornamental or violent, it is worthy of a special book!
"The Indomitable Fighter Zhang Yang"
"Strong and singular!"
"The Real Fighter!"
Two times in a game, the team stood up bravely when they were behind in the scores. This made AC Milan, who had previously said that "Zhang Yang is not a key player", very embarrassed and also excited the French media. In their eyes, in their writing, Zhang Yang was labeled as a "tough guy" and a "fighter"!
This is a kind of fight back to the Italian media!
However, French media people have to admit that this young man is really a fighter. He can always stand up bravely when the team needs heroes to stand up the most! This is the case in the French Ligue 1 last season. Now, in the Champions League game, he is not vague in the face of the giant AC Milan!
The key sir, he is the only one!

Many football celebrities and some senior football critics have also come forward. Whether they take this opportunity to show their faces in public again or something else, they have a big talk.
"This 20-year-old boy's rise is like a Rockets. 12 months ago, he was an amateur player without a ball. In a short period of time, he quickly became the main striker of the Marseille team and won the Ligue 1 Golden Boot. Now in the Champions League, his performance is also very good. I like to watch his game." Rennes's scorer, former French main striker, and a meritorious player who won the Hercules Cup in France, praised Zhang Yang and said bluntly, "This son's future is limitless."
"He is an incredible player. He has a long shot and his ability to grab points is amazing. In addition, his aerial strike ability is also excellent. Unexpectedly, after a summer, he has made a lot of progress. He is the successor of my legacy in the Marseille team." Papan praised Zhang Yang again.
The reason why Papan appreciates Zhang Yang so much is because he watched the player make a leap. When Zhang Yang just became famous last season, someone told Papan, now in Marseille, there is a young man who is very good, very much like you, and he began to pay attention to Zhang Yang. "He has any qualities required for an excellent striker, and his future path will be longer. In addition, he is also a good kid."
Many media agree with Papan's words. After more than a year, whether they like Zhang Yang or don't like Zhang Yang, they have to admit that this kid's future is limitless. Even those who criticized Zhang Yang when he was in a goal drought in the league at the beginning of this season had to admit privately that this kid is very powerful.
Of course, many people do not agree with the last sentence of Papan's words. Is this kid a good boy? Well, go and ask Abidal and listen to Abidal's accusation of suffering.

Zhang Yang's extraordinary move of "Cruyff's turn around" during the 3:3 goal scored by Zhang Yang also aroused some praise and discussion.
'Cruyff Turning', as the name suggests, is related to Dutch legendary superstar Cruyff. In the 1974 World Cup, the second game of the Netherlands group stage against Sweden, Cruyff took the ball from the left penalty area, with his back to the goal, leaning on the opponent's defender Olsen with his right foot, pretending to pass the ball forward, but at the moment of touching the ball, he swung his right ankle and pulled the ball from the heel of his left foot to the left side of his body, and his body turned 90 degrees to the left, and Olsen was knocked to the ground. This action is currently a common move on the court, but it is rare to be able to do it casually like a Dutch "flying man".
Although Zhang Yang's "Cruyff Turning" movement in this game was not as casual as Cruyff did back then, those who knew the technical characteristics of this young man had to express surprise and admiration. They were amazed by Zhang Yang's progress.
This even alarmed Cruyff himself. Cruyff, who was attending an event in Zurich, Switzerland, was asked by a reporter from France about Zhang Yang's goal. The godfather of Dutch football smiled and said, "He turned around like that too? I saw this goal, it was very beautiful. I know this young man, he is very good."
This immediately made the French media, especially the Marseille media and fans happy. This is different from Papan, who is praised by himself. This is not easy for Cruyff to praise Zhangyang.
Fortunately, Cruyff did not say, "This kid looks like me." Otherwise, the French would have hyped Zhang Yang's gorgeous evolution from "Papan's second generation" to "Cruyff's successor".
In short, because of the Champions League game, because of the second score this time, because of this beautiful goal, Zhang Yang was very popular, and he was also very popular before, but he has never attracted such widespread attention as he is now.
Compared with the decline of the Ligue 1, the influence of the Champions League can be seen!

And the reporter Roman who made a bet with Zhang Yang and criticized Zhang Yang constantly.
Roland lost his voice for the time being. At this time, he could not criticize Zhang Yang, but could only hide in a certain corner, a dark corner, revealing a cold look, curling up, waiting for a good opportunity to bite again.
He really wants to say that the Champions League is not a league, and the Champions League scored goals, but the goal drought was not broken in the league. However, he is not stupid and dare not say it. Of course, he knows what kind of ridicule he would be subject to if he said that. The Champions League is much more important than the French Ligue 1. The Champions League can score goals, but the French Ligue 1 can't?
So, Roman.
Roland could only wait and wait for the weekend's Ligue 1 game. If Zhang Yang could not score in the Ligue 1 goal and break the goal drought of this season's league goal, he could jump out and continue the promising job of "Zhang Yang Hei".

It is said that good things come in pairs.
Zhang Yang just became famous in the Champions League and received another good news.
On September 14, 2006, Zhang Yang's name was listed on the 40-person list selected by the "European Golden Boy Award" by The Turin Sports Daily.
The predecessor of the European Golden Boy Award was called the "European Best Rookie Award". The award was founded by the "Turin Sports" and the best young player of the year was selected after voting among major European media. All nominated players must meet the conditions that they play for European clubs and are under 21 years old. The "Turin Sports" issues votes to more than 30 important European media every year, and they select an award for the best young player of the year. From the perspective of award criteria and qualifications for participating, it can be said that the European Golden Boy Award is like a reduced version of the European Golden Ball Award.
The European Golden Boy Award is one of the highest honors that young players of U21 can win. Since its establishment in 2003, a total of three European footballers have been born. The winner of the first "European Golden Boy Award" in 2003 was Dutch star Van der Fate; the winner of the second "European Golden Boy Award" in 2004 was England star Rooney. That year, the fat guy also completed the super evolution from a rising star in Everton to the leading scorer of the giant Manchester United.
Last year's third 'European Golden Boy Award' winner was Barcelona's young Argentine star Messi.
The winners of the previous "European Golden Boy Awards" have been widely favored. Now, Van der Fate has become a Dutch international, Rooney is the main scorer of Manchester United, and Messi is also considered by Barcelona as Ronaldinho's successor.
Now, the selection of the fourth "European Golden Boy Award" has begun.
