I mean just being on the pitch doesn’t get you the Golden Boy. Gavi is great, I love him, but he doesn’t change the game the way Pedri, Jude, or Musiala do. Balde has also played regularly since breaking through with very few bad games. No claims he deserved it.
Needs more Udogie
Seems like he’s already at the very top
In this spirit of sexual equality, 25 women should be added to this list, and it should be renamed the ‘golden child’ award.
At the award ceremony the winner should be granted special powers by Eddie Murphy.
guy is 6’2, powerful, fast and technical
Instinctual too, his movement in the box is top tier
Lesssgo Kerkez
We weren’t ready to give him first team minutes and he wanted more money.
Should go to Musiala but will no doubt go to Bellingham
no no I was genuinely asking 👍🏽👍🏽
I don’t think Rasmus Højlund is at the level, or proven, as many others in this top 25.
But what I’ve seen from him is so exciting.
For his build, he’s insanely fast, seems to be well balanced and comfortable moving the ball left or right, tall and has a decent header on him [some players are tall as fuck and can never seem to connect the ball with their head], and lastly, his hold up play with his back to goal is some of the best I’ve seen. He can outmuscle and hold up as well as anyone.
Pack it up boys, Bellingham got it easily
Bayern Monaco represented by two players, great to see.
Edit: Ah, just realized it’s in Italian (do people in Italy actually call the team that way?). Weird as the rest of the post is in English (“finalists” “golden boy”).
I’ll be honest, I thought I’d be an old man before I saw an Irish player in one of these lists as it just seemed like we could never get a new Duff or Keane for years.
2 of our boys let’s gooo
Yeah, Bellingham should win but this list is one Udogie short.
