What are some of the geniuses in football who eventually disappeared?
Bojan, Pato, Januzai, etc., at most, became famous at a young age, opened high and low, and finally the gap between the entire career and the high hopes given at the beginning of his debut is too great.
First of all, Bojan, when he was first dubbed "New Messi", in fact, some people said that it was just hype. Think about it, Argentina since 1994, every year there will be young players dubbed by the media as "Maradona's successor", in the end, not to mention the succession, there are not many adults who can steadily enter the national team's starting list. Most of the former "Maradona successors" have spent their entire lives in small and medium-sized teams, and even a few have never been able to set foot on the continent in their entire careers. Well, Bojan is actually the same. Basically, all of Bojan's highlight moments are before the age of 20. After the age of 20, it declines at a rate visible to the naked eye every two or three years, and finally only becomes a qualified professional footballer. Or, if you don't get the media at the beginning, Bojan's achievements may be higher.
Besides, Pato is another typical example of an appearance that is the peak, and then there is no then. No one could have imagined that AC Milan's achievements (three or four times as the team's top scorer and the European Golden Boy) would be Pato's highest. Several major injuries and a wonderful private life off the field allowed Pato to quickly transform into a standard wingman and a relatively good role player; And then, there is no then. Now look at Pato objectively and fairly, in fact, this is a very physical player, in his youth, with amazing speed and explosiveness, and really superb dribbling that is eye-catching. However, with injuries, as he ages, his cadence decreases, his explosiveness decreases, and Pato's technical characteristics become less prominent. In fact, Pato's goal rate has always been not top, even during AC Milan, Pato's goal rate is not high, at least not as good as the old demon Ibrahimovic. However, AC Milan needed a façade too much at that time, and the media touted it eventually made Pato lose himself in the Apennine Peninsula. Since then, Pato has had no record or achievement worthy of a special book. At the end of the day, Pato's shooting skills are still a little frizzy, and he hasn't been able to focus on upgrading at the age when he can grow the ball, and that's it.
Finally, let's talk about Januzai, in fact, I said a long time ago in a well-known sports community in China that Januzai is overestimated. This is a person who did not become the boss, but had the boss's disease. To be fair, when he first arrived at Manchester United, Januzai's foot skills were only relatively good, but they still needed polishing - just like Ronaldo was at the time. However, I don't know whether it is the media pursuit or the preference of Lord Fuguoye, which gives Januzai an illusion - Laozi is now the second generation of Ronaldo. As a result, in addition to making a real debut, he played in several seasons at Manchester United, with a total of less than 10 goals and few assists in nearly 100 games. Januzai plays football, there are several problems, which have not changed: the first is the long-criticized one, with his head dribbling the ball, and he can never remember to observe his teammates around and in the distance; Secondly, the ability to read the game is really bad, after getting the ball, it is the sudden pass that should be stable, never clear, it seems to be all depending on the mood; In the end, there is a desire to prove their greatness, but they are always unable to perform well.
Of the three, perhaps only Pato, the closest to the fall of genius, Bojan and Januzai are actually not capable of themselves.
