Mbappe is one of the best performers of this World Cup, and the 2017 Golden Boy winner has fulfilled his potential; In addition to Mbappe, how have the Golden Boys performed in this World Cup in recent years? (Haaland, Renato Sanches, Martial and others who did not attend the World Cup will not be mentioned; Messi... People are seven Golden Globes, forget it)
Stirling
2014 Golden Boy winner Raheem Sterling was the loser of this World Cup, and his "loss" was not on the field, but off the field. During Sterling's trip to Qatar for the World Cup, thieves robbed his home in the United Kingdom, and his family was reportedly still present at the time, but fortunately they were all safe and sound, but they were only frightened. However, this also forced Raheem Sterling to miss the round of 16 against Senegal and return to the UK to spend time with his family. The Chelsea winger played three games for England at the World Cup, delivering one goal and one assist. Due to off-field factors, Raheem Sterling lost his dominance at last year's European Championship in this tournament, but his performance was also qualified.
Matthes De Ligt
Dutch star Matthijs de Ligt was offered a start in the first group game, but then displeased Van Gaal by making it clear to manager Louis van Gaal that he didn't want to play at the right of the three. Since then, youngster Julion Timber has gone straight to Mattheis De Ligt as the starting spot, and the 2018 Golden Boy winner only played in garbage time against the United States. In the absence of Mattheis De Ligt, the three-centre-back combination of Natan Acker, Van Dijk and Yurion Timber also performed well, making it forget that Mattes De Ligt exists.
João Felix
The 23-year-old João Félix was not bad this year, but it is true that he wasted many chances. The Atletico Madrid winger played four games for Portugal this tournament, delivering one goal and two assists; But if he had a little better grasp, Portugal might have beaten Morocco and wouldn't have had to be upset in the quarter-finals. João Felix and a group of Portuguese attackers do not seem to fit in well, and manager Fernando Santos has failed to find the best way to use him and the B bench, wasting this group of good players.
Pedri, Garvey
As Barca players, it is no surprise that Pedri and Gavi will receive Luis Enrique. Both played in Spain's four World Cup matches, but because of Luis Enrique's tactical relationship, the two did not play too well. In addition to the big win over Costa Rica in the first game, Spain also performed poorly against Germany, Japan and Morocco, and the team had possession without attacking, and Pedri and Garvey were victims of this dull tactic.
