Chapter 171 Serie A Oscar

On the evening of January 1th, the Serie A Oscars were officially held, and the major stars and coaches of Italian football gathered in the city of Milan.

This selection activity was founded in 1997, and the final winner of each award is selected by Serie A players.However, the selection and awarding process is all modeled after the Oscars, so it is called the Serie A Oscars.

Zhu Hantao put on the suit that Raiola, the former agent of Inter Milan, brought with him to buy, and went to the awards ceremony with Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the car of agent Raiola.

"Zlatan, do you think you can win the prize tonight?"

"Can I win an award?" Ibrahimovic smiled wildly, "You should ask me how many awards I can win."

Zhu Hantao:? ? ?
Looking at the Swede's self-confidence, and thinking about himself, he has only been nominated for the best rookie. Although the overall performance statistics are good and the number of goals scored is good, he still feels a little uneasy for the first time. It is just a rookie award, so there should be no problem, right?

Ibrahimovic saw Zhu Hantao's nervousness, and asked with a smile: "This is the first occasion like this? You are not afraid of playing in front of tens of thousands of people. There is nothing to be nervous about."

Zhu Hantao nodded without answering, and Raiola interjected: "Zhu, it suddenly occurred to me that you were not given the European Golden Boy Award last year. Are you convinced?"

La Fat deliberately changed the topic to help Zhu Hantao relieve his nervousness. In 2008, Manchester United player Anderson beat Zhu Hantao to the Serie A Golden Boot for the European Golden Boy Award.

Zhu Hantao felt that his performance was much better than that of the Brazilians. He still thinks that "Torino Sport" must have made him leave Turin to join Inter Milan, and the black-box operation brought his ranking down.

In fact, it is not so. The real reason depends on the selection of the European Golden Boy Award. Although it was indeed founded by the "Turin Sports News", the award was voted by a jury composed of 20 journalists from 30 European national media.

"French Football", "L'Equipe", "The Times", "Marca", "Mundo Deportivo", "Bild", "Telegraph" and other media are somewhat biased towards the young players who play in their respective countries, and it must be that the more well-known the better the chance of winning.

Zhu Hantao suffered a loss because he played for the first small team in Turin. Although he later moved to Inter Milan, he has not performed too well after all, and there are not many opportunities to appear in the European competition.

By the time he has secured his main position in Inter Milan and his performance is getting better and better, the results of the vote are almost coming out.

"I don't really care. I'm still young and I still have enough time. He doesn't believe that if I continue to play like this, the European Golden Boy will not give me the award!"

"Hahahaha, if I don't give you the Golden Boy Award next year, I will definitely spray them bloody!"

"Hahahaha!"

Arriving at the scene, Ibrahimovic and Zhu Hantao got out of the car and walked onto the red carpet. The hostess of the live sports station saw the eyes of the two big stars brighten. Wearing long skirts did not affect her walking in the slightest, and greeted her with a microphone.

"Let's see who these are? Two stars from Inter Milan! Ibra and Zhu!" After speaking to the camera, she turned to Ibrahimovic, "I heard that the two of you are good friends and came to our awards ceremony together again today. It seems that everyone is right?"

"Yes, Zhu Hantao and I have a very good relationship. We are teammates on the court and friends off the court. I even invited him to my house as a guest. We are also the same agent, hahahaha."

"Are you confident of winning the prize tonight?"

"? If they don't give me the award, who else can I give it to?"

"Hehehe!" The host smiled awkwardly, and turned to interview Zhu Hantao, "Zhu, we all know that you achieved amazing results in your debut season in Serie A last season. Are you sure about tonight's best rookie award?"

Zhu Hantao looked at the camera like a harmless boy next door, "Hey, I hope my performance can be recognized by everyone, and I will continue to work hard in the future."

"Okay, then you are welcome, please enter from this side."

Then the host went to interview Ibrahimovic and Zhu Hantao's mutual agent, Raiola, and Zhu Hantao and the others walked the red carpet into the venue.

Along the way, reporters from all over the world kept calling their names and taking pictures of them.

"Ibra! Look here!" "Zhu! This way!"

In fact, today not only Raiola, Inter Milan's sporting director Marco Branca and deputy executive director Stefano Filucci also accompanied Ibrahimovic and Zhu Hantao to attend the awards ceremony.

The results of the 2008th Football Oscar Awards 12 organized by the Italian Professional Players Association were officially announced. Inter Milan's center Zlatan Ibrahimovic won three awards and became the biggest winner.

The players who compete for the 2008 Football Oscars are the players who played in Serie A in the 07-08 season, and each award is decided by the votes of all the players in Serie A.

In November 2008, the nominations for the seven awards were announced.Then after 11 months of waiting, today, the final results of the major awards are finally announced.

In the competition for the best local player, Piero defeated De Rossi and Pirlo by virtue of his second scorer list, and was elected the best local player for the second time after 99.

In the competition for the best foreign player, Zlatan Ibrahimovic overcame Kaka and Mutu to win the title by virtue of his outstanding performance in leading Inter Milan to win the league title last season.

According to the rules, the best players will be selected among the best local players and the best foreign players.In the end, Ibrahimovic beat Del Piero to become the "king of kings" and won the honor of the best player in Serie A for the first time.

After receiving the award, Ibrahimovic said in his acceptance speech: "I would like to thank all my peers who voted for me, my teammates, Jose Mourinho and Roberto Mancini who has coached me in the past few years. I am very happy and now I hope to continue to win with Inter Milan."

In the competition for the best coach, Prandelli beat Spalletti and Ancelotti to be elected; Buffon beat Frey and Julio Cesar to be the best goalkeeper;

The only best rookie award related to Zhu Hantao was eventually won by him without any surprises. He defeated the two talented players Hamsik and Qiao Wenke in the selection.

There is no suspense about the result of the best referee. The famous whistler Rossetti easily won the contest with the other two referees, Morgandi and Sakani.

Among the three awards voted by fans, Del Piero was named the most popular player, Ibrahimovic's scorpion-tailed goal against Bologna was named the best goal in Serie A in 2008, and the Fan of the Year award was awarded to Stefano Bognovo.

The former Milan and Fiorentina player suffered from muscular dystrophy but had no money for treatment. Milan and Fiorentina held a charity match for him last year, and all ticket sales were donated for his treatment.

Some people are happy and some are worried. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who won the award, smiled and was in a good mood. After winning the award, Zhu Hantao also felt a lot more relaxed. However, the award is an honor and a hope. They will continue to work hard to create greater glories in Inter Milan.

In the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, Inter Milan, which has divided the Coppa Italia in the past 4 years, met Roma in advance.

In order to attract enough fans, Inter Milan significantly lowered the ticket price for this campaign. The lowest ticket price was only 4 euros. Even so, only more than 6000 spectators came to the scene for this game.

The 18-year-old genius and Inter Milan's youth training result Thornton has been training with the first team for a while. In this game, he represented Inter Milan in an official game for the first time, replacing left-back Maxwell.

In this cup match, Mourinho did not let Zhu Hantao, who had just won the Serie A best rookie award, start, and put him on the bench.

In the first half, Stankovic's long shot helped the team open the scoring.In the second half, Roma midfielder Taddei equalized the score, but Ibrahimovic scored the winning goal with a wonderful upside-down golden hook.

Inter Milan beat Roma [-]-[-] to advance to the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.

On January 2009, 1, in the No.25 round of Serie A, Inter Milan played against Sampdoria at home.

In the first half, Mourinho, who jumped up on the coach's bench and expressed dissatisfaction with the referee's penalty, received a red card and was invited to the stands by the referee Celli.

This made Inter Milan, which was already affected by Ibrahimovic's suspension, even worse.

Fortunately, Zhu Hantao stood up at the critical moment. With his score before the end of the first half, Inter Milan beat their opponents [-]-[-] and scored three points.

Three days later, the 21st round of Serie A started again. Inter Milan went to the away game one day earlier to prepare for the Sicilian team Catania.

There was an episode before, the day before the game against Catania, Italian singer Minoretano, who was loved by the public, passed away yesterday due to illness. After the news of his passing was announced, Inter Milan officially extended its deepest condolences to Minoretano's family.

The lifelong Inter fan once composed a song for the Nerazzurri called "Inter Alè", dedicated to the team that won the league title in the 20s.

After 51 league rounds, Inter Milan has 2 wins, three draws and one loss with [-] points, ranking first in the standings with an eight-point lead over No.[-] Juventus.

However, it is still very early to ensure the championship. Mourinho is still not allowed to make any mistakes, but because he received a red card in the last round, he was suspended.

In the Nerazzurri, Materazzi, Samuel, Chivu and Vieira are still missing due to injuries. Maxwell contracted the flu and served as a substitute.

However, their opponent Catania in this round only scored 5 points in the past 4 rounds, and the three main players of Isco, Telizzi and Caboni were suspended.

Zhu Hantao, who scored [-] goals in the first [-] rounds, is also far ahead in the Serie A scorer list. Behind him is Diwayo, who scored [-] goals.

And because Ibrahimovic gave Zhu Hantao a lot of assists, he only scored twelve goals, but the Swede also scored more than ten assists. The double-ten figure in half a season is also very good.

In the first half, Stankovic scored a header to give Inter Milan the lead, but Muntari was sent off afterward.

In the second half, the Nerazzurri lost one player, and Mourinho replaced Zhu Hantao with Maxwell.Catania striker Mascara hit the post and almost equalized for the home team.

The ten-man Inter Milan did not give their opponents a chance, and Stankovic assisted Ibrahimovic to make another victory to expand the score advantage.

In the end, Inter Milan defeated Catania [-]-[-] away, and Juventus lost to Udinese away in this round of the league, which also extended Inter Milan's lead to eleven points.

Only two days later, in the second round of No.20 in Serie A, Inter Milan ushered in a match against Torino at home.

Perhaps due to the continuous and intensive schedule, Inter Milan's offense was a little weak. They blasted the goal of the Turin team for half the game, but failed to score first.

Stankovic is in a confrontation with his opponent again
At the beginning of the second half, the Torino team had a sudden counterattack. Abate assisted Bianchi and scored a header. The visiting team led Inter Milan [-]-[-].

Mourinho made successive substitutions, Figo replaced Stankovic, and Quaresma replaced Maxwell.

Then in a free kick attack, Figo's free kick from the right passed into the penalty area, and Inter Milan's central defender Burdisso overwhelmed the opponent's defensive player Aubangna tossed his head and scored the goal.

The score was tied at one to one.

Inter Milan pursued the victory and threatened the goal of the Torino team one after another, but they were resolved one by one by the opponent. Zhu Hantao's extremely threatening shot was rejected by the post.

Before the end of the game, Zhu Hantao broke through and scored the ball. Ibrahimovic made a shocking long shot from outside the penalty area for the team to overtake the score.

In the end, Inter Milan scored three points without any risk at home [-]-[-].

A week later, in the 23rd round of Serie A, Inter Milan went away to play Pepper Lecce.

Among the coaches of the first round of the two sides this season, Mourinho suffered a lot. In this away game, the Portuguese decided to change his formation. He put on a "Christmas tree" formation similar to AC Milan.

Ibrahimovic came forward alone, Zhu Hantao unfortunately missed the game due to flu, Balotelli returned to the squad and sat on the bench with Kroos, Figo and Stankovic played double attacking midfielders.

Not only was his mother, Ms. Lin, very angry because of a cold again, but Zhu Hantao was also very helpless because he asked her son to take good care of him. A small cold didn’t really affect him much, but for the sake of protecting him and the other players in the team, he must not be able to play.

Thornton started 5 consecutive rounds, Materazzi returned to partner with Burdisso as a central defender, and Muntari ended his suspension.

Lecce has remained unbeaten in the past 3 rounds, but has drawn 6 games at home this season, midfielder Giacomasi was suspended, and Papavaigo and Edinho, who joined in the winter transfer window, got the chance to start.

In the first half, Ibrahimovic scored the 15th league goal of the season and is currently tied for second in the scorer list. After that, he was tackled in the opponent's penalty area, but was warned by the referee with a yellow card, which made the Swedes very dissatisfied.

In the second half, teenager Thornton assisted and Figo scored his first goal of the season.

In the end, Maicon assisted Stankovic to score Inter Milan's third goal of the game.

Inter Milan beat their opponents [-]-[-]. After the international match day, Inter Milan will sit at the "home court" to face their rivals in the same city, their old rivals AC Milan.
