2021 has passed, and Guangdong football has also begun to summarize the year and select the annual Footballer of the Year. In last year's Guangdong Footballer of the Year selection, Shenzhen player Gao Lin unexpectedly defeated a number of Evergrande naturalized players elected, creating a miracle. In this year's Guangdong Footballer of the Year shortlist, only 4 people have been shortlisted, namely Jiang Guangtai, Dai Weijun, Huang Zhengyu and Liang Xueming.
According to the rules, the guangdong footballer selection is mainly composed of three parts, namely online voting, expert voting, and media voting, each accounting for 40%, 30% and 30% of the weight, and the three parts of the weight are added together to obtain the final result. The four Guangdong local players who are shortlisted for Guangdong Footballer of the Year this year are Jiang Guangtai of Evergrande, Huang Zhengyu of Guangzhou City, Dai Weijun of Shenzhen and Liang Xueming of Meizhou.
As a naturalized player, Jiang Guangtai has conquered the vast majority of fans with his stable performance in the past two years and become the defensive core of both Evergrande and national football. In the 2021 season, Jiang Guangtai helped Evergrande win the third place in the Chinese Super League with absolute main force.
Dai Weijun is one of the hottest new stars in Chinese football in recent years, and has been selected for the national football team, which is expected to become the core of the national football midfield in the next ten years, and the future can be expected. Last season, Dai Weijun contributed 3 goals and 2 assists to help Shenzhen team enter the championship group.
Huang Zhengyu is the main defender of Guangzhou City and can play as a defender. In the 2021 season, Huang Zhengyu helped Guangzhou City team enter the championship group as the main force.
As for Liang Xueming, he played for Meizhou and scored as many as 14 goals last season, becoming the top scorer in the Chinese league and helping the team to successfully overtake.
It can be seen that the above 4 people have their own advantages, and it is possible that anyone will be elected in the end, and even it is not ruled out that someone will be elected in the end. The 2021 Footballer of the Year awards are a prime example.
Gao Lin once faced strong competition from several naturalized players such as Gaulat, Jiang Guangtai, Alain, Fernando and Axon last year, but in the end it was Gao Lin, who was not superior in data and personal performance. This is enough to see that as a regional award, Guangdong Footballer of the Year may be more interested in blood and appeal among local fans.
