Time flies, 2024 has quietly arrived, and world football has gradually entered a new era. When Messi, Ronaldo and other post-85 stars are gradually aging, post-00 stars have sprung up.
The post-90s stars of the year can also be said to be star-studded, but no one has ever reached the top of football, and now they are facing the strong rise of rising stars. I have to say that maybe there is not much time left for post-90s stars to compete for the first place in the world!
As the saying goes, the new year is new, and world football is gradually entering the next era in the process of renewal. When the wheels are rolling, I suddenly found that the post-90s players in football are really a little sad, and the earliest post-90s will usher in 34 years old in 2024, which is getting farther and farther away from the Golden Ball, but it is getting closer and closer to retirement!
I still remember that during the period from 2015 to 2017, people speculated that when the two major stars of the post-85s, Ronaldo and Messi, turned over 30 years one after another, who among the post-90s players would be able to win the football world when.
Once, Neymar, Hazard, Pogba, and Gotze were considered to be the most powerful contenders for the Ballon d'Or after Messi and Ronaldo.
Later, the likes of Antoine Griezmann, Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane shone and played at the top level in world football, but they still miss out on the Ballon d'Or.
Who would have thought that the peak period of Messi and Ronaldo could be so long, unprecedented in the history of football. In the end, Mei 8 Luo 5, the two won a total of 13 Golden Globe awards!
In the past ten years, it has directly spanned the growth period and peak period of the earliest batch of stars of the post-90s generation in the top arena, so that many players who have played top performances can only stare dryly. Although there are 2 Ballon d'Or awards, they are also won by the two post-80s stars Modric and Benzema.
When I saw Messi's 8 golden balls, behind it may be the helplessness of the post-90s players. If it weren't for Messi Ronaldo, people might describe the football era with the stars shining and a hundred flowers blooming.
Judging from the list of 30 players for the 2023 Golden Globe Awards, it is still very hanging, although there are as many as 18 post-90s players, accounting for 60%, there is a sense of helplessness that is just connecting the previous and the next.
Although Mbappe in 1998 ranked third, he was originally considered to be the absolute number one in football after Messi and Ronaldo, but he never thought that he would suddenly kill a post-00s monster-level striker: Haaland. Majin Buu ran directly in front of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and chased Messi at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards.
When Haaland in 00 shines for Manchester City in the first half of 2023, the super talent Bellingham in the second half of 03 will play an amazing phenomenal performance in Real Madrid. This time there must have been a lot of pressure on him, and there were even Alvarez, Foden, Vinicius and others behind him.
Although in recent years, post-00 players have just emerged in the top arena, but they are simply more than a demon, and many players have shown their potential to become world-class or even historical players early.
Unconsciously, Mbappe seems to have become one of the few hopes for the post-90s generation to win the Golden Ball!
Kevin De Bruyne, Kane, Salah, Griezmann and others can be said to be the leaders of today's football and are also frequent guests in the recent Ballon d'Or selection, but even if they played the best season of their careers, they still missed the world No. 1.
Among the post-90s stars, the most regrettable and lamenting the current bleakness is Neymar. Once upon a time, people called Merone, and he was the third person in world football after Messi and Ronaldo.
But who would have thought that while Messi Ronaldo was getting older, Neymar had always missed the Champions League in Paris, and even been plagued by injuries, and the little prince of Samba had missed the 30-man list for the Ballon d'Or three times in the past four years. When Neymar went to Saudi Arabia to bid farewell to mainstream European football, the Ballon d'Or was basically gone.
Since Kaka won the Ballon d'Or in 2007, the 16-time Ballon d'Or winners are all post-80s players. Whether the next Ballon d'Or winner will be won for the first time by a post-90s player or a post-00s player will be an important focus in football. The post-00s will win the Golden Globe Award before the post-90s?
In 2023, the post-90s generation in football finally survived the post-70s Buffon, and the post-80s ultra-long standby Messi Ronaldo left European football one after another, only to find that there seems to be little time left for themselves, and the post-00s are rising strongly!
