Chapter 226 European Golden Boy Award

On August 8st, Liverpool's third warm-up match started.

The fans entered the field with infinite enthusiasm, but Liverpool's performance was still the same as the previous two games, still half-dead.

In the end, Liverpool narrowly beat Sampdoria from Serie A with a score of 1-0.

And the only goal was scored by a Sampdoria player with an own goal, which made countless Red Army fans a little confused.

The only thing that comforts the fans is that their nuclear-armed midfield commander is as stable and efficient as ever.

In this game, Mo Yang performed extremely well, just like the previous two games.

Although there were no assists, he planned as many as 12 attacks that directly hit the goal.

The performance of others was not satisfactory, and the state still seemed a bit sluggish.

In the whole game, Salah hit the goal 7 times. Except for one shot on target, the remaining 6 times either flew into the stands or slipped past the goal.

Mane is slightly better, but the feeling of finishing is not very good.

Mo Yang gave Mane several second passes, but he failed to score the ball.

As for the performance of the midfielders, except for Mo Yang, it is difficult to describe the performance of the others.

Whether it is Lallana or Wijnaldum, or captain Henderson, it seems that they have not woken up from the holiday.

In other words, the person came back, but the heart stayed on the sunny beach full of bikinis and thongs.

On defense, Van Dijk is as stable as ever, while the others are a little less.

After watching the game, the Red Army fans couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Counting this game, Liverpool has played three warm-up matches, but the team's competitive state has never fully recovered.

"This is not the invincible Red Army we knew last year. In these three warm-up matches, except for Yang and Van Dijk's outstanding performance, the other players were in extremely poor condition. Could it be that a Premier League champion and Europa League champion Demotivating our players? - Liverpool Post
"Klopp's intention of introducing two wingers and young wingers is to deepen the thickness of the bench, but through these three warm-up games, I can't see the advantages of these two players. Their performance is not even as good as that of Mane who is not in form. And Salah, maybe these are two failed signings of Klopp and Edwards!" - The Guardian

"Compared to Manchester City, which has been rejuvenated and showed great attacking power, and won the warm-up match with a big score, Liverpool is in decline this season. The little guys, they may have been addicted to the past glory!" - Manchester City Evening News
Salah and the others are also anxious because they can't find their status.

In order to get back the feeling of last season's game, the two have recently started to live in the base dormitory like Mo Yang, and they will practice with Mo Yang sooner or later.

They hope to use Moyang's entrance-style feeding to get back the feeling of their feet as soon as possible.

This made Mo Yang very happy, and finally someone was willing to practice with him.

But before he knew it, Ibrahimovic, a man who claimed to be God, also fell into the mundane world.

I don't know when he actually integrated into Mo Yang's small circle.

Today's Salah, Mane, and Arnold have dared to joke with Ibrahimovic.

"Fantastic little guy!"

Klopp stood at the office window on the second floor, looking at Moyang and the others who were practicing on the court with a smile on his face.

He didn't pay attention to the criticism and ridicule from the media at all.

The purpose of the warm-up match is to find the players' status and hone their tactics.

A few games can't explain anything. The only thing Klopp is worried about is the mentality of the players. Sometimes he is too eager and will fall into the quagmire.

……

On August 8th, England's Community Shield Cup, the Premier League's new season opener between Premier League defending champion Liverpool and FA Cup defending champion Arsenal will start tonight, kicking off the new season of the Premier League.

But the focus of the English media at this time is not on the strong dialogue of the new Premier League season.

Instead, he turned his attention to Italy, which is 2000 kilometers away.

Just at 3 o'clock this afternoon, Italy's "Turin Sports News" announced the shortlist of 2017 candidates for the 25 European Golden Boy Award.

The European Golden Boy Award was founded in 2003 by the Italian "Turin Sport".

The award is voted by the important media of European countries to select the best young player of the year, and is also recognized by fans as a coming-of-age ceremony for young rookies.

However, the award must be selected for young players under the age of 21 who have played for European clubs.

"Turin Sports Daily" sends votes to more than 30 mainstream European sports media such as French "L'Equipe", Spanish "Marca", German "Bild" and British "The Times" every year, and then they are responsible for counting and Award the Golden Globe.

The European Golden Boy Award has been the most authoritative award for young players in European football since its inception, and its winners represent the future of football.

The reason why the Golden Boy Award is the authority among young player awards is because there are almost no missed players in this award.

Previously, including Messi, Rooney, Fabregas, Aguero, Balotelli and others have won this honor.

Under normal circumstances, players who successfully win the Golden Ball will have a very bright future.

However, there are exceptions and accidents in everything. Some players have started their careers after winning the Golden Boy Award.

For example, Pato, Anderson, Gotze, and Balotelli are the former golden boy winners.

But it cannot be denied that they all have football talents far higher than ordinary people, but it is a pity that they are either destroyed by injuries or self-willed to degenerate.

Of course, the world-class Italians below their brains did it themselves.

And this year's "Turin Sports Daily" announced the 25-man roster, almost including the rising talents in the major leagues in recent years, whether it is a wealthy team or a civilian club.

Mo Yang (Liverpool), Mbappe (Paris), Rashford (Manchester United), Dembele (Barcelona), Donnarumma (Milan), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City ), Pulisic (Dortmund), Augustin (Leipzig), Bentancur (Juventus), Steven Bergwin (PSV), etc...

Among the 25-man roster, Mo Yang and Mbappe have the highest voices.

Mbappe has been transferred to Paris Saint-Germain for a terrifying price of 1.8 million euros in a rent-and-buy situation some time ago.

The 19-year-old French teenager has pre-booked the bidder in the 2018 summer window transfer market, and is about to set a record for the highest value of a young player under the age of 20.

In fact, Mbappe is not a "sudden force". As early as the 2015-2016 season, he had already made his mark in Monaco at the age of 17.

It's just that the number of appearances is not many, and the statistics are not impressive.

In the 16-17 season, Mbappe broke out completely. Not only did he help Monaco overturn the Ligue 4 aircraft carrier Paris in the Ligue [-], he won the Ligue [-] championship in one fell swoop, and also helped the team reach the top [-] of the Champions League in the Champions League. , is one of Monaco's well-deserved biggest contributors.

In the 2016-2017 season, the 18-year-old Mbappe can be said to have played a terrifying statistic that is almost unprecedented at this age.

He contributed 15 goals and 8 assists in the league, and also contributed 6 goals in the Champions League, averaging 1 goal in the knockout round.

As for Moyang, the data is equally gorgeous and frightening.

Although far inferior to Mbappe in terms of scoring statistics, Mo Yang is now worth 1.2 million pounds with Chelsea's selfless assists.

Although it's a bit hypocritical, it also proves Mo Yang's potential and ability from the side.

What's more, Mo Yang also has a series of honors.

Such as the champion of the British Championship, the champion of the British Championship, the champion of the Premier League, the king of assists in the Premier League, the best rookie of the Premier League, the best rookie of the British Championship, the best player of the year in the Premier League and the British Championship, the champion of the Europa League, the king of assists in the Europa League, etc. series of honors.

And last season, Mo Yang not only helped Liverpool win the first Premier League championship in team history, but even broke and created a new single-season assist record.

33 assists in a single season are also unprecedented, and it is estimated that there will be no one in the future.

If Mo Yang was in the Premier League instead of the British Championship last year, then the European Golden Boy Award in 2016 may not be the Portuguese midfielder Sanchez who looks a little bit up and down this year.

Now which club in Europe does not covet Liverpool, the monster super midfielder who was picked up for only 2000 million.

At the beginning of this summer window, even if Mo Yang did not enter the transfer market, Liverpool's fax machines were scrapped by the uninterrupted continuous offers from clubs in major leagues.

It can be seen that the giants covet Mo Yang, this is a young player with the potential of a midfield master and a legendary midfielder.

No club can refuse Mo Yang!

Therefore, in the eyes of the major media, there is a high probability that this year's European Golden Boy will be born between these two people. As for the others, they are just a foil.
