Three or four years ago, Nordic Norway, where football soil is poor, suddenly ushered in the "youth training outbreak". Among the players born in Norway in 1998, there are three talented demons, all of whom have played in the Norwegian Super League at the age of fifteen or sixteen, attracting the attention of the global media. Erdegaard, Hou Yongyong, Aye, the three of them together are called the Norwegian genius three youngsters. However, a few years passed, and none of the three geniuses deserved the title.
The world should have known Erdegaard in early 2015, that winter, Erdegaard almost tried out all the giants of the five major leagues, and finally Real Madrid grabbed the Norwegian genius in the direct competition with Barca, real Madrid for a 16-year-old player to throw 5.6 million euros transfer fee, send 1.2 million euros an annual salary contract, is really a big gamble.
Erdegaard, who is regarded as the cornerstone of the future, naturally received the weight of Real Madrid. At the age of 16, he made his La Liga debut and firmly occupied the main force in the Norwegian national team. In the following years, Erdegaard has been trained by Real Madrid in the B team, the main force every year, but there is no surprise performance every year, and it has not developed at the speed expected by people, and people have begun to question the training method of the Norwegians to promote the growth of seedlings.
Erdegaard, now 19, no longer stands out among players of his own age. This season, in an embarrassing situation at Real Madrid, he continued to be loaned to Heerenveen in the Dutch League, with 1 goal and 1 assist in 20 games, although Erdegaard is still a young man with great potential, but it is impossible to say that he will succeed Cristiano Ronaldo.
Chinese fans are more cordial to Hou Yongyong. A few years ago, the domestic fan forum began to spread the story of this Chinese genius, his mother is from Henan, China, he can speak Mandarin, his mother wants him to play for the Chinese team, and even hopes that he can play for Henan Jianye, and so on.
Looking at the resume of his youth, Hou Yongyong's talent can not be lost to Erdegao, he is from the youth training of the Norwegian Super Banda Rosenborg, and hou Yongyong in Norway can be said to be alone and defeated in the adolescent stage. Also at the age of 16, Hou Yongyong made his Debut in rosenborg, who was much stronger than Erdegaard's parent team.
However, these were all 3-4 years ago, and Hou Yongyong's current situation is more disappointing than Thatgao's. He was abandoned by Rosenberg and finally became a qualified rotation in another Norwegian premier team, Stabeck, last year, making 9 appearances and scoring 1 goal. Hou Yongyong, who has turned 20, is no longer considered the person who can "save" Chinese football.
The last of the three young men, Aye, is the least famous, and now his achievements are even greater. Unlike the first two delicate techniques, Aye is a strong center-back with a height of 1 meter 96, playing as a captain in the Norwegian Super League at the age of 17, and even more powerful is that he has scored 12 goals in 34 appearances, which is completely the data of the forward.
Aye seized the opportunity to develop and went to play at the age of 18 for the Soviet Super League overlord Celtics. After more than a year of experience, Aye has not had any bright performances, but recently he has finally played the main force in the Celtics, at least compared to the first two, he has been given a chance in a more competitive team.
Judging from their trajectory, norway is unlikely to grow into a superstar, and perhaps in a few years the fans will forget the name of one of them. The three teenagers who were blown around the world by the media were lost.
