Messi C Ronaldo's "double arrogance" for more than ten years is the most beautiful happy time in the hearts of fans. The two of you chased after me to win the grand prize, and the football world also benefited a lot and made a lot of progress. However, history is finally a reincarnation, and no matter how beautiful the "double dance" is, there will be times, after the two legends are gradually aging, a new generation of young men will launch a fierce competition to follow their footsteps and explore their own glorious moments. Who will be eligible to carry the crown? Who will be the brightest star on top of the crown? How will they play in 2021? Is there a chance to "step into the big door"?
The New Era of Double Pride: "Nominal Heir" is not a happy one
After several years of searching for the "third person" outside Of Mero, after Eden Hazard, Neymar, and De Bruyne all entered one after another, people finally found two orbs of superhuman talent, which are indeed very qualified to jump up and create a new era of double pride. In recent years, their performance has become more eye-catching, and people are becoming more and more sure of their answers. Yes, Mbappe and Haaland are indeed good enough. As the "titular heir" of the little brothers, 2021 is not a happy year, all kinds of troubles come to the door, they are a little sad. Although personal data is still very brilliant.
Sisrus once told us, "The wailing of the heirs is a mask to hide the laughter." Although this sentence is full of tragic meaning, the truth is not difficult to understand. The talented Mbappe and Haaland, although they have great respect for Messi and C Romwan, have no intention of belittling; but the heart that they want to replace is also very exposed. "How can we call young people when we are not angry", we all understand. However, under the constraints of the team's performance, they did not look very "happy". Looking at Mbappe first, he had already won four in the Champions League before winning the World Cup, and after winning the World Cup, he was already a highly anticipated star in France. Transferred to Paris for more glory.
However, throughout 2021, Mbappe's play years are still stable, in the Ligue 1 game he can still turn the tide, save the team from fire, 43 goals and 19 assists of the club's natural year data is enough to shine; unfortunately, the number of injuries caused his attendance to be discounted, without his days the team was intermittent, draws and losses, and the final game also gave up the championship trophy to Lille, encountered a lot of criticism. Mbappe, who became famous as a teenager, hated failure, and he was very upset about this loss of the title. Subsequently, they were eliminated again in the Champions League, and the French were also very angry.
Unlike the young Witt, Mbappe didn't have as much free time to think about his emotions, and then he played for the Gallic Rooster in the European Championship. Unfortunately, he was trusted by people, some were not in the state, 390 minutes of 0 goals met with criticism, until he was eliminated, he only gave 2 assists. Returning home, the teenager was troubled again. His relationship with Giroud was also hyped up by the media, and Mbappe suffered a "bad year".
The new season begins, and healthy Mbappe looks to the future. This time he had the opportunity to stand on the "shoulders of giants" and look into the distance, and the joining of Messi and Ramos, two big-man figures, made up for their lack of experience. Set sail for the Champions League (6-4 assists in the group stage). "Sad things will always have an end, keep going, the sun will be back on your side." 」
Haaland, by contrast, may be more "miserable." The Norwegian devil, who scored multiple goals, struggled to move the team forward, losing to Bayern by 14 points at the end of last season and being pushed by Leipzig to third place. Haaland gradually became tired and injured more. Like Mbappe, the national team seems to be a good "healing" haven for him. Unfortunately, with all kinds of preliminary rounds out, it is difficult to guarantee that he will have a chance to appear on the top stage. Watching Hick perform at the European Cup, he must have been very envious.
With the arrival of the new season, Dortmund still has not regained his former form. In the league they can still bite the giants Bayern, Haaland's 13 goals are also undiminished; but the play in the Champions League is too unsatisfactory, the -1 goal difference makes Haaland's last game seem futile, and participating in the Europa League is certainly not the result he wants. Coupled with the fact that Raiola blew the wind, which created a lot of scandal for him, did the legendary "Gentleman's Agreement" come into effect? Maybe it's time for an answer soon.
It's not just the Mhas who are sad
Mbappe and Haaland scored 30+ goals in their respective leagues throughout the natural year of 2021, and the Champions League also scored a lot, which made them sadder more than the performance of the team. But other stars of hope, it seems, is not like this, some of them lost in the new club, some on the bench waiting for opportunities, some of them have suffered injuries and have to truce. In short, the "road to genius" is very tempting, but the "road to becoming a talent" is difficult to take.
"Too many feelings, it's different; the world has changed, or I've changed." Presumably, Felix must have such psychological fluctuations, and "self-doubt" will be the norm in his mind this year. Against the backdrop of a huge transfer fee of 120 million euros, his joining La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid will be infinitely magnified. But under Simone's command, it was really difficult to get ahead. What's more, the bandit marshal's use of him also has his own different "views". It's sad.
So in the 2021 calendar year of the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons, Felix only gave 4 goals and 5 assists in the league statistics, and only scored 2 goals in the 15 games played in the new season (the last round of personal raids were one of the few highlight moments), which was constantly discussed by the outside world. More fatally, with injuries and Simeone's adjustments, it was found that Felix seemed to fade out of the starting lineup, and only in the vs Levante, Revel, Granada game, he played the full 90 minutes. In terms of scoring, it is naturally down across the board, and the average score of 6.52 per game is really not very good. Felix's talent exists, but it will seriously restrict his development.
Coincidentally. Sancho, who came to the new team, also suffered a similar problem. In Dort, he can still kill, and when he comes to the Red Devils, he doesn't seem to be able to play football. In fact, in the European Cup that alternates between the old and new seasons, Sancho has not been able to come up with too many bright performances, coupled with the high transfer fee, it is indeed accompanied by pressure. Debuting at Old Trafford, he is fully hung up in terms of data, scoring only 1 goal after 13 Premier League games, and his average rating of 6.4 per game is even worse than Felix. Sancho didn't show much reliability on the scene either, and the uncertainty under Solskjaer may be changed by the arrival of Lonnick.
In particular, the new coach is very willing to give him a chance, and C Luo is also willing to help his little brother return to the top. In the last three Premier League games, Sancho's playing time has remained around 80 minutes, which is enough to support him to find himself. Don't forget that Lonnick is a German, he knows too well how to inspire Sancho's "Bundesliga status", and looks forward to the early reappearance of the British Emperor Star.
Similar to Sancho, there are still "big people" who have brilliant performances in the Bundesliga and can't play in the league, such as Timo Werner. In the 9 games he has played in since the start of the Premier League this season, the former Leipzig Shenfeng has scored only 1 goal (vs Southampton); the Champions League has played average, scoring against Juve and scoring 2 goals and 1 assist against Zenit. But the previous 3 battles are also 0 revenue. If you add 2 goals in 21 games in 2020/21 (this year), the overall stats are even more embarrassing. However, Werner's wingman role is still good, and his role is indeed not only reflected in the data.
Even more worrying than Werner is his old rival Luka Jovic. In Frankfurt, he will not play football after coming to Real Madrid, with few opportunities and no contribution. Look at his old friend Alai's wild 10 goals in the Champions League this season, I don't know what kind of mentality he has. If Werner has a big role and scores few goals for the Blues, then Jovic may have scored few goals and has little effect. Jovic scored 1 goal in 11 appearances this season (vs. Real Sociedad), was loaned back to the familiar Bundesliga last season, and scored only 4 goals in 18 games (2 goals in 17 vs. 2 in the final round vs Schalke). Of course, the ratings are also a big jump, compared to 7.2 in Frankfurt, which is now only 6.44.
Children who play highlights to prove their abilities
In 2021, several of the Premier League's young players have played particularly brightly, and they are gradually moving to the starting position, which is also a treasure that the club cannot obtain. For example, Chelsea, which won the Champions League trophy last season, has such a malleable talent as Reece James. After returning from the 2019/20 season, Reese gradually moved into the rotation. In the 2020/21 season, especially after entering 2021, the individual play has become more and more outstanding and stable, and many of the previously blamed flaws are gradually improving.
In the 2021/22 season, the 22-year-old Rees James scored 5 goals and 5 assists in 18 appearances, is the Blues' top scorer, and in many statistics are in the league top 5 (pass success rate, key passes, number of opportunities, goal assists, shooting on target, etc.), and the improvement is very obvious. Blues fans also praised his youngster a lot, and the average rating of 7.18 per game was enough to prove that the outside world was optimistic about him.
Chaloba and Mount, who are in the same team as James, also played at a high level. The two equally 22-year-olds, one in the back and one in front, have been involved in most of the Blues' events this season. Chaloba has scored 3 goals in 17 appearances, as a central defender This stat is very brilliant; the average score of 7.1 ranks 5th in the same position in the Premier League, his excellent high-altitude ball handling ability, and good blocking technology, is the guarantee of the Blues' defensive stability, Tuchel trusts this youngster and gives him a lot of opportunities. As AZP and Silva age, he will be the future backbone of the Blues. However, the recent games have been a bit poor and need to be adjusted as soon as possible.
Mason Mount has been famous for a long time, and although he doesn't score many goals (7 goals and 4 assists in 20 games in the new season), his role is really too big. Even commentator Zhan Jun has repeatedly praised him as the biggest threat to the Blues' offensive end. Mount's diverse attributes and complete understanding of the team's tactics are the basis for guaranteeing stable support, and the heights he can reach in the future will certainly be much more than that. Now that he has been awarded 75 million euros, he is likely to be the next "Mr. Billion". Phil Foden and Dranke Rice, who are good friends with Mount, also have good performances, and they are the hope of the England team.
Liverpool's Alexander-Arnold also suffered a "sinking" period after Van Dijk's injury and played well last season. However, after the return of his eldest brother this season, he has gradually regained his former self. Now Arnold has begun to "dominate the side", and under his promotion, Liverpool's attacking system has become fast and efficient again, and their crazy play has put great pressure on other giants. In the Premier League + Champions League event, Alexander-Arnold has contributed 2 goals and 10 assists, and the data is very efficient.
In addition, Crystal Palace youngster Gallagher, who played a highlight for Manchester City, is also a shining star. His aggressive running, good interception area, coupled with good personal motivation and organizational skills, make him a good guarantee for the midfield. With 7.5 points so far this season, it ranks second in the Premier League midfield. It is believed that in the near future, he will return to the big club (Chelsea loan).
In the front line, Real Madrid's Vinicius and Fiorentina's Vlahović played a good level. After playing in the Champions League last season, Vinicius has opened up this season, and the top scorer team with Big Brother is also very efficient. 15 La Liga starts this season, has already achieved 10 goals and 4 assists, and the Champions League also has 2 goals and 3 assists, which is too good for the 21-year-old. Vlahovic is more persistent, ranking first in Serie A in the entire 2021 calendar year, equaling Ronaldo's record, and this season's Serie A is 16 goals and 2 assists in 19 games, and Ibrahimovic's successor is really good. His transfer should have been put on the agenda to see which giant "flower" it would have.
Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund, who are rich in demons in the Bundesliga, have "given birth" to two talented youngsters: Wertz and Bellingham, both of whom are only 18 years old but are already the main members of the team. Wiltz scored five goals and was an aggressive modern organiser with five goals, and was highly recognized by many celebrities for his big picture and overall awareness in midfield. The price of both of them has risen to the 70 million euro mark, and it will inevitably be the focus of tomorrow's giants.
epilogue
The world is young, they have a future, they create tomorrow. Regardless of whether the play is good or bad, 2021 is already a thing of the past, and the upcoming 2022 has the blessing of the World Cup, and the heat of football will inevitably be noisy to a new height. For young people, this will be a great opportunity to prove themselves, there are too many legendary superstars, all from this stage to shine to the world, there are too many legends written here. What is the fate of Mbappe and Haaland? Can Vlahović remain so efficient? What heights could Benzema take his younger brother Vinicius to? Sancho and Felix, who can find themselves first? expect.
