As the winner of the 2020-21 European Golden Boot, Lewandowski regretted that he could not tie the record of Gad Müller's consecutive goals in the last round of the league, but back in the Champions League, Levan continued to lead Bayern with two goals. Last season, Levan, who scored 41 goals in just 29 games, broke the 49-year record for Gad Mueller, and in the nine games already played this season, Levan has scored 13 goals, most likely creating an appalling total of goals of the year. In an official interview with the Bundesliga last week, lewan, who bluntly said that he still has a lot of room for improvement, shouldn't he be crowned the Ballon d'Or and defend the world footballer of the year again? I think everyone has their own answer in their heart.
How hard is it to seal a half-century record?
Levan's first European Golden Boot award in his career and the third European Golden Boot in Bundesliga history, was previously won by Gad Müller twice. The most valuable thing is that while Levan won the Golden Boot, he even broke the Gad-Müller Bundesliga record of 40 goals in a single season.
This was once an unattainable height, and for half a century, countless Tyings in the Bundesliga have long been unsurpassed to be close to this record...
In fact, as early as the 19-20 season in the middle of the epidemic, Levan was incomparably close to winning back the European Golden Boot for the Bundesliga, and finally missed the award because of Mobile's curve overtaking, but in the detailed data competition, Bemobile was 8 less goals than Levan. Of course, in the "Blue Eagles" Lazio, Inmobile can beat many goalscorers to get the Golden Boot, which is also a fairy tale, because the last star who won the championship in the cracks of the giants was Diego Fran, who played for Atletico Inletico in 2009. Immobile's Golden Boot award is a positive one, with Lazio's squad not having a winger in reserve and no midfield configuration like Bayern's.
This time the miss did not affect Levan's state, facing the Champions League format after the end of the season, for Levan and Bayern Munich is undoubtedly fantastic, while the club won six titles, Levan also won the UEFA Player of the Year and the World Footballer of the Year on a personal level, if it were not for the cancellation of the Ballon d'Or, Levan's award would also be well deserved.
However, we must know that Levan, born in 1988, is already a full-fledged veteran. After missing out on the European Golden Boot in 19-20, many believe he missed his last chance. After all, in the face of the objective laws of the body, countless indestructible and powerful centers in history have all gone downhill at this age and have fallen sharply. Many experts believe that Levan has broken through the limit from 22 goals in 33 games in 2018/19 to 34 goals in 31 games in 2019/20, and he has no chance to compete for the European Golden Boot. But Levan proved this judgment wrong with the following season, because he chose to quietly promote himself with the help of his wife, living and training more regularly.
41 goals in 29 games! With his jaw-dropping performance, Levan deservedly won his sixth Bundesliga Golden Boot, and became the first player in Bundesliga history to win the Bundesliga Golden Boot four times in a row, which is something that Neither Gad Müller has ever done. At the same time, strongly won the European Golden Boot Award! The most important thing is that the record that has been sealed for nearly half a century has finally been broken! You know, last season, three of the top scorers from the Bundesliga made it to the top five of the final European Golden Boot list, and facing Haaland and Andre Silva, who were equally hot, Levan still did not give them any chances after a month of injury suspension, and also left the unique double behind. The efficiency of nearly 1.5 goals per game is not inferior even in the peak of the era of absolute double pride! Looking at last season, Levan has only scored in four of his 29 Bundesliga appearances, 10 of which have scored more than two goals, doesn't that mean levan has his own lead? In the match last season in Levan's appearance, Bayern never scored a game without a goal.
Breaking the record doesn't mean that Levan is necessarily stronger than Gad Mueller, but at the age of 33, he has reached another height in his career, and Levan's story is undoubtedly more inspiring. It took 34 full-time seasons for Gad Mueller to score 40 goals, while Levan tied 40 goals in just 28 games. We must also admit that Gad Muller has every chance of creating higher statistics, after all, Levan has 8 penalties for 41 goals, and Gad Mueller conceded 3 penalties that season and did not have 1 penalty in the end. Moreover, for a hundred years before 2009, Bayern were in a two-striker formation... Perhaps there are always many reasons to be found, but Levan has no intention of admitting that he has surpassed Gad Mueller. Don't forget that Levan still has 7 assists, and his selfless spirit is the more important thing about Bayern's strength.
Straight to the Point of the Golden Boot. The important reason why the Bundesliga has not won the European Golden Boot Award for half a century is precisely because the 4 games missing in the Bundesliga are actually 4 games facing the 19th and 20th places in the league, which is not a fair contest in the competition for the European Golden Boot. Last season's Levan, under such natural conditions, coupled with his own injury suspension for a month, far ahead to defeat many opponents, looking back at Levan's past career, who will believe that he can reach this height at this age?
As Bayern's CEO, Kahn was surprised by this, because in their opinion, they never thought that anyone could approach The Gad Mueller record, and now, they are willing to believe that Levan can surpass himself once again!
So, with breaking such a half-century record, can't Levine prove himself to be the best player of 2021? At least in the past, there is a precedent for winning the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year with a super number of goals of the year.
A legendary journey from the Boppin arena to the top of the world
It's hard to judge who is greater, but one thing we can confirm is that the nationality of the two men proves that Gad Mueller has the opportunity to achieve more than Levan. Compared with Gad-Mueller's innate ability, two more muscles on his calves than ordinary people, we can see the difference between Levan and him from the details of the picture...
Levan's career is different from those equally brilliant superstars, he became the main force of the giants at a young age, and then grew up around the superstars, and eventually became the world-famous star of hope, born in Poland, originally doomed to start behind the young people of the traditional powers, which is also the helpless voice of Levan after winning the European Golden Boot Award to be interviewed by the bundesliga official website.
In 2006, Levan came to the outskirts of Warsaw to join the Polish third division club Preskov, recalling that at this time, Ronaldo was on the world cup, Messi had been elected the European Golden Boy Award, and Levan started in this almost amateur Polish club. Compared with Ronaldo, who joined Manchester United at the age of 18, if Levan really has enough talent, his career will not start with Preskov from the Polish Serie C league, but no matter how the objective conditions are constrained, Levan finally changed his life through his own efforts.
From 14 goals in Bosnia-19 to 18 goals in Bosnia-South Division, in the summer of 2008, Levan joined polish powerhouse Lech Poznań, and then was named the best newcomer in The Polish League with 15 goals in the first season, and the top scorer in the Polish First Division with 21 goals in the second season. Finally, in the summer of 2010, Borussia Dortmund introduced it with a brilliant eye for 4.5 million euros, and the transfer fee of 4.5 million euros was not a small amount for Dortmund, who had just survived the bankruptcy crisis. During the Dortmund era, although Levan made as many as 33 appearances and scored 8 goals in the first season, he was only a substitute for Barrios in the center position, and in the second season, Barrios suffered an injury and quickly rose to the top, scoring 22 goals and 8 assists in the league, and played a hat-trick in the German Cup final to help Dort, completing the club's first double. In the 2012-13 season, Levan became famous in the Champions League semi-finals against Real Madrid, entering the ranks of top stars, and then came to Bayern in the summer of 2014 with higher ideals and pursuits.
It should be pointed out that Bayern has entered the era of Guardiola at this time, and Guardiola has shown a tactical system that is not good at using the center forward as early as when he was in charge of Barca, and after taking over Bayern, he has indeed continued to firmly adhere to the continuous use of the frontless team, in this case, Levan's playing time has decreased sharply, and Levan has only 17 goals in the league in the first season of joining Bayern, and Robben, who has played ten games less, is equal.
Whether he joined Dortmund or Bayern, Levan's performances in his first season proved that he was also a player who needed to adapt slowly. After adapting in the first season, Bayern Levan has never scored a season below the "40+", but deep down, he is more eager than anyone to lead Bayern to lift the Champions League trophy again, but from Guardiola to Ancelotti to Heynckes returning, as Bayern continue to fold in the Champions League, which makes Levan, who regards the Champions League title as the supreme pursuit, continue to suffer. Until the Croatian coach took over, Levan because of a little discord with Heynckes, coupled with the 2018/19 season of only 22 goals in 33 games, the voice about Levan's peak has passed, the criticism is also endless, it seems that many people have forgotten Levan, Levan also scored 15 goals in the Champions League and the German Cup this season. Also in this year, Levan, who had previously been unhappy with Bayern for a year because of the encouragement of his agent Zahavi, chose to renew his contract with Bayern, and then we saw Levan's reversal of life.
It can even be said that Gad muller only used his superhuman talent to play his talent normally at the peak of his career, while Levan has become a new benchmark for data and efficiency in today's center. The story of Levan, who has come all the way from the Polish B arena, is undoubtedly more inspiring, because he is from the real bottom of the football world. As Bayern's current president, Haina, has said, the reason for Levan's award is not only because of his many goals, but also because of his exemplary professionalism.
Many people will say that the reason why Levan is not competing for anyone this year is because Bayern only reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, but let's not forget that the two games against Paris Saint-Germain did not have Levan, and in the 18 Champions League games in which Levan has appeared recently, he scored 24 goals and Bayern won all of them. Some people say that because the Polish national team's performance in the European Cup is too poor, but even so, Levan still handed over three games and three goals in the European Cup. In the World Preliminary Round after the European Championship, Levan has also scored six goals in five games, including a tie against England. Can such a performance be said to be a bad performance in the national team? If the Ballon d'Or was awarded to the best performer of the past year, Levan deserves it.
Are there many fans with selective amnesia? The 2010 Gold Award was not for the Spanish player or Sneijder with the Netherlands, but for the player who had just one assist at the World Cup. Similarly, in the 2014 World Cup, 1 goal and 1 assist won the gold medal, but Messi, who led the team to the final, did not win the award. If the awards are based on the absolute performance of individuals in natural years, then Modric has no data advantage over Ronaldo in 2018. If the awards are more focused on team achievement, van Dijk in 2019 is clearly more competent. In the different judging rules, the addition of many new votes to many rules is not convincing enough. It's just that I don't understand, why is the public opinion after the European Championship almost one-sided? Is it just because the America's Cup has been held four times in the past six years?
LewanGOALski's goal is to hit the Bundesliga record of 365 goals set by Gaude Müller, which was already defined as an unfinished goal when he scored 22 goals in a single season at the age of 30, but he is still attacking the final goal. No matter who this year's Ballon d'Or and Who the World Footballer of the Year awards will be awarded, it can't change the fact that Levan has been the best player in the world for the past two years. Levan, who currently scored 284 goals in 356 games, continues to improve with an average efficiency of 100.6 goals. As Levan said in an interview, "Even though I am very proud now, I still know that my journey continues and I still have room for improvement!" ”
The story that belongs to Levan is far from over.
