At this time in 2005, many Chinese fans did not know what the European Golden Boy Award was, and even the senior football commentators did not understand it.
But later, with the translation of major portal websites, fans in China finally knew what this award was.
This is a pretty incredible award.
It was founded by Italy's Turin Sports News in 2003.
It is voted by important European media to select the best young player of the year.
It is also considered an "coming of age ceremony" for young rookies, and the selection targets must be playing in Europe.
The club's youth players under the age of 21.
Of course, what attracts their attention the most is the voting by important European media to select the best young player of the year, because professional fans know that this is a quite authoritative selection, just like France's French Football selects the European Golden Ball.
Same prize Therefore, domestic fans are beginning to look forward to Aiello's future achievements.
He won the best player under the age of 21 at the age of 19.
So what will happen in the future?
European Ballon d'Or world footballer Ai Luo's achievement can be said to be an extra light for Chinese football, which is currently in a dark period.
It also gives Chinese football-obsessed fans another support and expectation.
Especially Aiello's growth over the past year, which has been witnessed by most fans.
From the 2005 World Youth Championship in the Netherlands to this year's La Liga, they have not failed in every game.
It can be said that they are witnesses of a legend.
Aiello won the European Golden Boy Award.
Apart from the Chinese media who were happy, the Spanish media were the happiest.
After all, Aiello's success started in La Liga.
From another perspective, he was cultivated by La Liga. players.
At the same time, it is also a recognition of La Liga in world football.
The most happy among them was the local media in Valencia.
The day after Aiello won the European Golden Boy Award, the Valencian Sports Newspaper became the headline of the day with the title "Prince reaches the top" because Aiello Lowe's relationship with Enrique Wien, who was promoted to editor-in-chief In the text, he wrote, "A year and a half ago, would anyone have thought that a Valencia player would win such an authoritative award as the European Golden Boy Award?
No, I am the same as everyone, and I also want to apologize.
Before, I didn’t know what the European Golden Boy Award was.”
"This award is not only a recognition of Ai's efforts this year, but also a way to support the best player in Europe under the age of 21.
Then the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer in the future.
Oh my god, am I thinking a little bit?
With Aiello's current performance, it is only a matter of time before he is recognized by French football editors.
What we are worried about is his performance in the national team."
Enrique Wien's analysis here is very reasonable, so the sales in Valencia on this day were also very good.
Marca headlined this issue with "The Undoubted Winner".
Although Aiello is not a Madrid player, he won this award on behalf of Spain.
Naturally, praise is indispensable, "This Fan’s success in being selected for the European Golden Boy Award is due to his performance in the past year With rapid progress, Valencia won the UEFA Cup in the 2005 season, and Ali made great contributions.
His success also made him join the Chinese National Youth Team, participated in this summer's World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, and won the World Youth Championship.
It can be said that he has achieved great success."
This time, Mundo Deportivo from Catalonia sang the opposite tune.
They believed that Messi, who also participated in this summer's World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, should win this award, "As previously discussed Regardless of his contribution to the team on the court or his personal performance off the court, Barcelona's Leo Messi is much better than Valencia's Ai, but why is the winner from Valencia?
Could it be "Ai?"
Mundo Deportivo began to raise its own doubts about Turin Sports News' selection, because their top vote was given to Leo Messi.
At present, Turin Sports News only announced the names of the winners and did not announce the final scoring results.
All this can only be explained after Aiello goes to Turin to accept the award.
Valencia originally had a home game against Mallorca before the winter break, but head coach Flores seemed very humane this time and deliberately gave Aiello early leave.
So the day before the final round in Valencia, Aiello, accompanied by his agent Papa Adrian, appeared at the headquarters of Tuttosport.
When Aiello took the trophy symbolizing the European Golden Boy Award from the editor-in-chief of Turin Sports Newspaper, Paolo Dellabao, more than 20 European sports media previously invited by Turin Sports Newspaper to participate in the selection pressed their hands in unison. shutter.

Aiello was wearing a dress carefully designed by Donatella Versace, holding the golden football trophy he had just received in both hands, looking particularly handsome.
In fact, it’s no wonder that everyone nicknames the European Golden Boy Award as the European Golden Globe Award for those under 21 years old, because just from the appearance, it looks so similar.
Among these reporters, those from China are the craziest.
Their eyes were full of burning light, looking at Ai Luo as if they saw the bright future of Chinese football.
Among Chinese journalists, Ai Luo is most familiar with Qi Liuhai from Football News.
At this moment, he kept greeting his colleagues, "I know Ai Luo very well.
I will definitely get the right to interview him."
Ai Luo looked at the guns and cannons and various flashing lights in front of him, then looked at the golden ball in his hand and subconsciously thought: Will the one he holds in his hand next year be a real golden ball?
When the reporters finished filming, Turin Sports News' football editor Padovan announced the scores of the top five European Golden Boy Awards.
The voting rules for the Golden Boy Award are that each judge selects 5 players from the candidates and scores them according to their ranking: 10 points for the first place, 7 points for the second place, 5 points for the third place, 3 points for the fourth place, and 3 points for the fifth place. 1 point for each name, and the one with the highest score will win the Golden Boy Award.
Surprisingly, Aiello ranked first with an absolute advantage of 291 points.
Although the results had been known for a long time, the reporters who attended the award ceremony of Turin Sports News couldn't help but gasped when they saw the final score.
This score is too abnormal.
Ranked second is Barcelona's Messi, with a score of 109 points.
Ranking third is Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney with 73 points.
Ranked fourth is also from Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 54 points.
Ranking fifth is Cologne's Podolski with 32 points.
Logically speaking, there should be no doubt that Aiello, this year's European Golden Boy Award winner, is currently the best young player under the age of 21 in Europe.
Since there's no player who plays like him this year, there's a problem.
Being able to get 291 points means that 29 of the 30 ratings gave Ai Luo a perfect score of 10.
So which newspaper gave Ai Luo the remaining one point?
So, these meddlesome media began to interview the editor-in-chief Paul Della Paul, and asked who the thirty judges were this year.
Soon these reporters saw a name, Juan Carlos of Mundo Deportivo.
When everyone saw this name, they all suddenly realized In European football, almost everyone knows about the feud between Aiello and Juan Carlos, so Juan Carlos also bears the nickname of being petty.
At the same time, he has also become a laughing stock in European football.
Because when everyone recognized Aiello's success, he was the only one who stingyly voted one point.
In fact, what everyone doesn't know is that Juan Carlos would not have wanted to shoot a point if it were not forced by the facts.
After finishing the award presentation by Turin Sports News, Aiello accepted an exclusive interview with Turin Sports News.
This interview is very simple.
It covers Aiello's journey from China to Spain, and how he transitioned from the youth team to the adult team.
Exclusive interviews are no longer unfamiliar to him.
He accepted an exclusive interview with Enrique Wien when he was in the youth team, and also accepted an exclusive interview with his hometown newspaper Xiaoxiang Daily after scoring a hat-trick at the Bernabeu.
However, this interview gave Ai Luo a different feeling.
First, it was a difference in mentality.
Just like when he received the certificate of "Three Outstanding Students" for the first time in elementary school, he was both happy and excited, because this was a silent contribution to him.
A recognition.
As the saying goes, one minute on stage will take ten years off stage.
Second, he is no longer the stupid young man he was back then.
Now he is the best player under the age of 21 in European clubs, that is, the European Youth Footballer.
His status is also different.
Aiello knows that from this moment on, he will become a target for many young players to catch up with.
Therefore, he must work harder and harder to prevent these chasing people from surpassing him.
Especially Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the two future kings, after the 2006 World Cup in Germany, both of them will begin to break out, setting off a youth storm in world football.
"It's a great honor to interview you" Editor-in-Chief Paul DePaola smiled and stood up, extending his right hand.
"Me too, I can get an interview from your newspaper."

Likewise, Iroh stood up with a smile and stretched out his right arm.
"Come on I hope to see you again this time next year" Aiello was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses and made a little joke, "Yes, but I hope to win an official Golden Globe Award in Paris, France first."
After finishing speaking, Aiello held up the Golden Boy Award trophy in his hand.
"Haha" Paul Dellabao patted Aiello on the shoulder and winked at the same time, "If your amazing performance can continue from the beginning of next year to the end of next year, no matter how other judges vote, my vote will definitely be reserved for you. you" "Hahahaha, that's good."
This exclusive interview with Turin Sports News ended with the handshake of Aiello and editor-in-chief Paul de Paula. s: The national football team lost yesterday, and my mentality was not good:
