From the man behind the football king to the football king

Chapter 56 Important Puzzles of Portugal

The person Pogba is staring at is naturally Bruno.

For Pogba, losing today's final will cost him not only the World Youth Championship, but also the European Golden Boy Award at the end of the year.

He has turned 20 and this year is his last chance to win the European Golden Boy Award. Because next year, when he turns 21, he will no longer be selected for the European Golden Boy Award.

The first thing Bruno received on the podium was the Golden Boot Award. Before he took the stage, the referee team had already received commemorative medals.

Before the World Youth Championship finals, Bruno, who scored 5 goals, was only ranked second in the scorer list. The top scorer at that time was his teammate Bruma.

As he scored twice in the final, he naturally jumped to the top of the scorer list with 7 goals, which made him the golden boot of this World Youth Championship.

However, 7 goals are not outstanding in the history of the World Youth Championship. In the previous 18 World Youth Championships, there were 11 goals and 10 goals scored in a single session.

In the 2001 World Youth Championship in Argentina, the super genius Saviola of the host nation scored a total of 11 goals amidst the cheers of the home fans, setting a new record for Brazilian Adelton in the World Youth Championship in Malaysia four years ago. A record of 10 goals created.

Of course, 7 goals is definitely not the Golden Boot with the lowest number of goals. There have been more than one golden boot with 3 and 4 goals before.

Moreover, it is very rare for Bruno, a midfielder, to score 7 goals in 6 games.

Therefore, Bruno is also one of the few people in the history of the World Youth Championship to win the Golden Boot Award as a midfielder.

………………

After receiving the Golden Boot, Bruno won the Ballon d'Or again.

This is an unquestionable result.

In this World Youth Championship, Bruno played 6 times, scoring 7 goals and assisting 8 times, averaging 2.5 goals per game. This performance made him the number one contributor to Portugal's championship, and he undoubtedly won the Golden Globe Award. .

In terms of individual awards, Portugal is undoubtedly the big winner. In addition to Bruno winning the Golden Ball and Golden Boot awards, winger Bruma won the Silver Boot and Bronze Ball awards.

The 18-year-old talented winger from Sporting Lisbon earned the nickname the new Ronaldo through his outstanding performance in this tournament. It has been spotted by many teams, including Turkish Super League giant Galatasaray. The Lions have sent people to contact Sporting Lisbon with the intention of signing this extremely fast and excellent dribbling talent.

The Silver Ball Award was awarded to the captain and midfielder Pogba of the runner-up French team, and the Golden Glove Award was awarded to the third-placed Uruguayan goalkeeper Amores.

Amores has only conceded 3 goals in 7 games. His performance is very good and he can be called Uruguay's savior.

Although Colombian goalkeeper Bonilla only conceded 2 goals, Colombia was eliminated early in the round of 16, which also prevented him from competing for the Golden Glove Award.

In the final group photo session, Bruno naturally stood in the C position. He scored with his left hand and scored the golden boot with his right hand, attracting everyone's attention and murdering countless films.

………………

After the individual awards were awarded, it was time to award the runner-up awards.

Pogba led his teammates to the podium with a dull expression, as if he was not receiving an award, but being tortured.

It was his skin color that made his face look less obvious.

After receiving the award, the French players did not stay on the podium for long, but left quickly, as if they were escaping.

Subsequently, under the cheers of thousands of Portuguese fans and the attention of tens of thousands of local Turkish fans, the Portuguese team, led by captain Joao Mario, stepped onto the podium to receive their championship medal.

As the team's number one star, Bruno is at the back of the team.

Despite this, he was still the one that attracted all the attention. Without it, it can be said that he helped the Portuguese win this World Youth Championship by himself.

After watching this World Youth Championship, many Portuguese people know that if it were not for the addition of Bruno Fernandez, the Portuguese U20 lineup would really not be competitive. Not to mention winning the championship, I'm afraid they may not even make it through the group stage.

In this World Youth Championship, Bruno's performance is truly dominant. This is not only the data of 7 goals and 8 assists, but also his performance on the court, such as the organization of Portugal's offense and the control of the rhythm of the game.

………………

Of course, this does not mean that the original Portuguese U20 lineup is without merit, otherwise they would not be able to qualify for the World Youth Championship.

Moreover, during the World Youth Championship, there were still some outstanding players in the Portuguese team, such as winger Bruma, midfielder and captain Joao Mario, and right back Cancelo. After some training, these young people have the potential and strength to enter the Portuguese national team.

As for Bruno, this radiant super star, after watching his performance in the Toulon Cup and the World Youth Championship, Paul Bento may call him into the new Portuguese national team in September. This talented midfielder.

Portugal is competing for next year's World Cup in Brazil. They are in Group F and have not yet established a clear advantage.

Although Russia lost the direct contest between the two sides in early June, Portugal has not widened the point difference yet, and the competition between the two sides is still very anxious.

The current Portugal team has a relatively good lineup. The forward is led by superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, the back line is led by Pepe, and Patricio at the goalkeeper position is also relatively reliable.

Relatively speaking, the midfielder is Portugal's shortcoming. Although the midfield lineup composed of Moutinho, Veloso, Meireles, William Carvalho and others is considered to be somewhat competitive, it is really lacking in creativity.

If Bruno Fernandez joins, it can be said to make up for the last shortcoming of the Portuguese lineup.

By then, the Portuguese central axis composed of Ronaldo, Bruno and Pepe will definitely be super luxurious. Coupled with the support of players in other positions, Portugal will definitely have no problem breaking out of the qualifiers, and even in next year's World Cup in Brazil, we can expect an outstanding performance.

………………

In the Portuguese commentator's future outlook, all members of the Portuguese U20 team stepped onto the podium to receive their own championship medals.

The cameras at the scene captured that FIFA President Blatter specially asked Bruno to say a few words when he presented the award to Bruno.

Since Messi in 2005, there has been no top talent star in the past three World Youth Championships. Aguero, the Argentinian forward in 2007, is currently developing well. He has established a firm foothold in the Premier League tycoon Manchester City and led the team to win a Premier League championship. But after that, Aditya and Almeida can be said to be invisible to everyone.

Under such circumstances, FIFA hopes that another promising star will appear in the World Youth Championship, and Bruno Fernandez is obviously more in line with Blatter's taste.

Unlike his unruly Portuguese senior, during the World Youth Championship, although Bruno performed very high-profile on the court, his personal words and deeds were extremely low-key.

Except for officially arranged interviews, he basically does not appear in front of the media.

Blatter is wondering whether the Portuguese boy should be regarded as a newcomer that FIFA will promote in the future. After all, both Ronaldo and Messi are approaching the threshold of thirty. When they grow old, it will be the time for Bruno and his group to grow up.

Bruno naturally didn't know what the old man in front of him was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much. Because he knew very well that before he could fully grow up, this old man would fall.

Red ribbons were sprinkled, and amid the cheers of thousands of Portuguese fans at the scene, Joao Mario lifted the World Youth Championship trophy!
