Chapter 6: European Golden Boy Award

On August 1st, Liverpool’s third warm-up match began.

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

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

Moreover, the only goal was scored by a Sampdoria player through an own goal, which left countless Red Army fans confused.

The only thing that makes fans feel gratified is that their nuclear-armed midfield commander's performance is as stable and efficient as ever.

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

Although he had no assists, he planned as many as 12 direct attacks.

The performance of others was not satisfactory, and their condition still seemed a bit sluggish.

Salah hit the goal 7 times in the entire game. Except for one shot on target, the other 6 times either flew into the stands or slid past the goal.

Mane is slightly better, but the feeling of the final kick is not very good either.

Mo Yang passed the ball to Mane for several seconds, but he failed to score the ball.

As for the performance of everyone else in the midfield except Mo Yang, it's hard to describe.

Neither Lallana, Wijnaldum, nor captain Henderson seems to have woken up from the holidays.

In other words, the person has come back, but his heart remains on the sunny beach full of bikinis and thongs.

In defense, Van Dijk is as stable as ever, while the others are slightly inferior.

Red Army fans couldn't help but feel a little worried after watching this game.

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

"This is not the invincible Red Army we knew last year. In these three warm-up games, except for Yang and Van Dijk's outstanding performance, the other players are in extremely poor condition. Can a Premier League champion and a Europa League champion

Are our players demotivated? - Liverpool Post

"Klopp's intention to introduce two young wingers is to deepen the depth 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 Mane, who is not in form.

With Salah, these may be the two signings that Klopp and Edwards failed!” - The Guardian

"Compared with Manchester City, which has rejuvenated and showed strong attacking power and won the warm-up match with a big score, Liverpool has shown its decline this season. The honor of the double crown of Premier League champion and Europa League champion stunned this group of young people.

Little guys, they may have been addicted to past honors and can’t extricate themselves!” - Manchester City Evening News

Salah and the others were also anxious because they couldn't find their form.

In order to regain the feeling of playing last season, these two people have recently begun to live in the base dormitory like Mo Yang, and practice with Mo Yang in the morning and evening.

They hope to use Mo Yang's entrance-style ball feeding to regain the feeling of their feet as soon as possible.

This made Mo Yang so happy that finally someone was willing to practice with him.

But unknowingly, Ibrahimovic, a man who calls himself God, also fell into the mortal world.

I don’t know when I got integrated into Mo Yang’s small circle.

Today, Salah, Mane, and Trent Alexander-Arnold have the courage to joke and joke with Ibrahimovic.

"Amazing little guy!"

Klopp stood at the office window on the second floor, looking at Mo Yang and the others who were training on the court with a smile.

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

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

A few games don't mean much. Klopp's only worry is the mentality of the players. Sometimes they are too eager and they get stuck in the quagmire.



On August 6, the English Community Shield Cup, the opening match of the new Premier League season between the defending Premier League champion Liverpool and the defending FA Cup champion Arsenal will start tonight, kicking off the new Premier League season.

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

Instead, he turned his attention to Italy, which is 2,000 kilometers away.

At 3 pm today, Italy's "Turin Sports News" announced the 25-person shortlist for the 2017 European Golden Boy Award.

The European Golden Boy Award was founded in 2003 by Italy's "Torino Sport".

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

However, this award must be selected for young players under the age of 21 who are playing for European clubs.

Every year, "Turin Sports" sends votes to more than 30 mainstream European sports media such as France's "L'Equipe", Spain's "Marca", Germany's "Bild", and the British "Times", and then they are responsible for counting and

Awarded the Golden Globe trophy.

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

The reason why the Golden Boy Award is the most authoritative among young player awards is because almost no player misses this award.

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

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

However, there are exceptions and surprises in everything. Some players' careers have gone from high to low after winning the Golden Boy Award.

For example, Pato, Anderson, Gotze, Balotelli, these past Golden Boy winners.

But it cannot be denied that they all have football talents that are far higher than ordinary people. Unfortunately, they are either ruined by injuries or self-destruction.

Of course, the Italian, who is world-class from the brain down, did it himself.

The 25-man roster announced by Tuttosport this year almost includes the rising talents of the major leagues in recent years, whether they are wealthy teams or civilian clubs.

Moyang (Liverpool), Kylian Mbappe (Paris), Rashford (Manchester United), Dembele (Barcelona), Donnarumma (Milan), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Jesus (Manchester City)

), Pulisic (Dort), Augustin (Leipzig), Bentancur (Juventus), Steven Bergvin (Eindhoven), etc...

Among the 25-person roster, Moyang and Mbappe have the highest voices.

Mbappe had already transferred to Paris Saint-Germain for a terrifying price of 180 million euros in a rent-and-buy situation some time ago.

The 19-year-old French youngster has already booked the top bid in the 2018 summer window transfer market in advance and is about to set a record for the highest value for a young player under the age of 20.

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

It's just that he didn't play many games, and his statistics weren't impressive.

In the 16-17 season, Mbappe broke out completely. Not only did he help Monaco overturn the Ligue 1 aircraft carrier Paris Saint-Germain and win the Ligue 1 championship in one fell swoop, he also helped the team reach the top four of the Champions League in the Champions League.

, is undoubtedly one of Monaco’s biggest contributors.

In the 2016-2017 season, the 18-year-old Mbappe can be said to have played horrific statistics that are almost unprecedented for his age.

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

As for Mo Yang, the data is equally frighteningly gorgeous.

Although far inferior to Mbappe in terms of goal scoring data, Mo Yang's current worth has reached 120 million pounds thanks to Chelsea's selfless assists.

Although it is a bit false, 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 English Championship Champion, English Championship Assist King, Premier League Champion, Premier League Assist King, Premier League Best Rookie, English Championship Best Rookie, Premier League, English Championship Player of the Year, Europa League Champion, Europa League Assist King, etc.

Series of honors.

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

33 assists in a single season, also unprecedented, and probably unprecedented.

If Mo Yang was in the Premier League last year instead of the English Championship, then the European Golden Boy Award in 2016 might not be the turn of Portuguese midfielder Sanchez, who seems to be a little high this year.

Nowadays, which club in Europe does not covet Liverpool's monster super midfielder who only spent 20 million to pick it up.

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

This shows that major clubs covet Mo Yang. This is a young player with the potential to become a midfield master and a legendary midfielder.

No club can refuse Mo Yang!

Therefore, in the eyes of major media, this year's European Golden Boy will most likely be born between these two people. As for the others, they are just foils.
