On December 9, Laco's "second team" went to the Champions League again, this time against Monaco in Ligue 1.In this small city of Monaco, Wang Ai has left a deep imprint: the youngest player to appear in the Champions League, the youngest player to score goals, the youngest player to score a hat-trick, and the youngest to ......
Five-star player!
In that game, in the face of the situation that the whole team fell behind 2:7, Wang Ai was moved by the indomitable professionalism of Laco's teammates to continue to struggle, and in the negligence of Monaco's big victory, one person scored five goals in a row, and fought for injuries to fight a group stage to an epic height, and the two sides finally shook hands 8:8.It was also in Monaco that Laco fans first called out the nickname "Rey" to him.Therefore, this small city is equivalent to the blessed land of Wang Ai.Returning to Monaco, the small city has not changed much, it is still so bustling, and both Laco and Monaco are different.The former was the winner of last season's Champions League, and the latter was the last four of last season's Champions League.The former won two consecutive European Super Cup and Spanish Super Cup trophies this summer, while Monaco was empty.The former went with Pandiani and Luque, while the latter went with coach Didier Deschamps and the main player Deco.Now in the group, Monaco leads with 9 points, Laco is second with 8 points, Olympia is third with 7 points, and Liverpool is eliminated with 4 points.The last round starts at the same time as both groups, and it's hard to say who will advance to the next round.Whether a team with Liverpool's character will give up in the final round or play a battle of honor with enthusiasm, no one can say.Therefore, both sides have to go all out to win.Wang Ai, who came to Monaco again, has not changed much, but the team has changed a lot, the main force is still only one Duschel, and then a large number of substitutes, and there is one more Victor who is recovering from injury.And Monaco is going all out.At eight o'clock in the morning, the two sides opened up at the Louis II Stadium and had a battle for promotion.At the same time, Real Madrid, who are in good shape but still in danger, will face Roma.The day before, Barcelona, who had enough points in their first five games, came on as a substitute and lost 2-0 to Shakhtar Donetsk to complete the group qualification.In this game, Laco played very hard, and the young lineup was full of holes under the impact of the veteran Monaco, and the opponent was poured into three in the first half alone.Fortunately, Laco's attacking lineup was full of vitality under the leadership of Wang Ai, and he returned the color with two goals.Coming back in the second half, the news of another game came, and the unwanted Liverpool and Olympiacos drew 0:0, which did not ease the intensity of the game between Monaco and Laco, and the two sides invested heavily in the second half.Seeing that the next game of the Champions League is about to be lost, the young men of Laco's backline, led by Duschel, desperately try to stop Monaco's attack, and do not hesitate to intimidate these Frenchmen with frequent big moves.Because of the lead in the score, it contained Monaco's offensive to a certain extent.The attacking lineup led by Wang Ai is still trying to find opportunities to score, and slowly pulls Monaco's formation back.The score of 2:3 lasted until the second half of stoppage time, Hao Haidong, who replaced Roberto, took advantage of the opponent's unfamiliarity with him to launch a surprise attack, the old guy cut inside with the ball on the side, forced the ball out between the legs of the opposing defender, and rolled into the goal close to the goalkeeper's feet.Laco finally struggled to get a point on his opponent, but he still had to pray that Liverpool could stop Olympiacos.When the final whistle blew, the whole team ran to the sidelines, and halfway through, they saw assistant coach Shen Xiangfu jumping up with his mobile phone and clapping with both hands.Only then did you know that the other game was also a draw.As a result, in the group, Laco survived and advanced to the knockout round with a score of 9 points.The opponents in the next round will also depend on the results of the UEFA draw.On the same day, Real Madrid defeated Roma 3-0 and also easily advanced to the knockout round.It's a pity that Valencia, with two wins, one draw and three losses, was eliminated, so far, Barcelona, Laco, and Real Madrid, the top three in the current La Liga rankings, have all successfully fought out of the group stage.After the game, the whole team had a small celebration at the club where they stayed and had a hearty lunch together.In the afternoon, the other players had to stay in Monaco and wait for the afternoon plane to fly back to the club for repairs, while Wang Ai took assistant Constance, assistant coach Shen Xiangfu, and Wei Yan Zhu and Zhao Dan to cross the border to Turin in the north.After the restructuring, the European Golden Boy Award is no longer awarded on a season-by-season basis, but on an annual basis, so it has only been half a year since Wang Ai won the European Golden Boy Award last time, and he has once again come to this beautiful city facing the mountains and rivers, and it is also the fourth most populous city in Italy, which has raised the Torino team and the Juventus team!
Therefore, the awards selected by the city's "Sports Newspaper" are themselves supported by this powerful football city and the football world, so they can stand.Otherwise, the Tübingen sports newspaper will only become a laughing stock for any award.Well, to explain, this newspaper was founded by the elder Kugel after Wang Ai left, a typical tabloid, with a circulation of less than 2,000 copies, and it is still free, in addition to reporting some news of the youth of Tübingen and the development of the players who left Tübingen, the main thing is to report to the fan organization what souvenirs his small shop has entered.This year's competition with Wang Ai for the golden boy includes Manchester United's Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Atletico Madrid's Torres and others.At the award ceremony, Wang Ai sat with Rooney and Ronaldo, and Torres did not enter the top three in the final stage so he did not come to the scene.In addition to the three of them, there are also some well-known local stars in Turin, such as well-known goalkeepers Buffon, Cannavaro, Nedved and others.Wang Ai and Rooney and Ronaldo don't know each other, the only one who is closer to Ronaldo is in the summer Olympics, but unfortunately Ronaldo risked offending Ferguson to participate in the Olympics, but he didn't even go out of the group.Therefore, Wang Ai is relatively unfamiliar with them, so their attitude is good.After all, they also know that this time they came to Turin, and they were completely accompanied.In 2004, whether it was a professional league or a national event, Wang Ai scored more goals, had good results, and had high honors than them, especially the records of the Olympic Games, so they did not show any hostility towards Wang Ai, but were very enthusiastic to communicate with Wang Ai.Wayne Rooney even extended an invitation to Wang Ai on behalf of Manchester United.At eight o'clock in the evening, under the attention of all guests, the editor-in-chief of "Torino Sports Newspaper" came to the stage and announced the winners of this year's "European Golden Boy Award".Then, Wang Ai stood in front of the microphone with a golden ball and a smile.()
