Disappointment! Four Golden Boy Award winners who did not meet expectations, two Portuguese!

Players such as Haaland, Bellingham and Yamal are the youngest European players who have won the Golden Boy Award recently, but lifting this trophy does not guarantee that they will have a great career.

There are still very few players like Messi, Mbappe and Pedri who can realize their potential.

But to reach the top and keep it going, it takes more than talent. Anderson, Pato and Aguero have all started coaching.

There are four Golden Boy Award winners who did not meet people's expectations, let's see who they are.

1. Balotelli is world-class below the neck, and it is Balotelli.

He won the triple championship with Inter that year, but after Inter Milito and Etoo, he could only be in the third pick, and then transferred to Manchester City in 2010.

But Balotelli's performance was intermittent, and occasionally a flash of inspiration appeared, such as scoring a goal in the 2012 European Cup against Germany. He could not maintain stability and could only go around in many places.

occasionally has brilliant performances in AC Milan, Nice, Marseille and other teams, and his career has not been fully planned as expected.

2. Martial

Few people believe that Martial would play football in Greece before the age of 30.

Especially in the match against Liverpool, he made his Premier League debut, scoring goals with outstanding personal abilities.

Martial scored 90 goals in his nine years at Manchester United, occasionally experiencing his potential, but ended in a disappointing result.

Currently he plays for Athens AEK, making 23 appearances in Athens' first season and scoring 9 goals. Director Ma has completely lost his mind.

3. Sanchez

With Sanchez's inspiration, he helped Ronaldo win his first national team championship in his career. People are looking forward to him playing side by side with Ronaldo in the national team, but...

The midfielder spent his entire career in the top European leagues, and he did nothing in Paris or Bayern.

There are two league starts in total in the past two seasons, which proves that there are problems with the career. Sanchez is currently on the Paris purge list and he is no longer in the plan of head coach Enrique.

4. Felix

Felix said that fighting side by side with Ronaldo could win, which made him successful, so he came to Saudi Arabia at the age of 25.

Felix's career has been full of rugged since he was named one of Europe's most promising players.

He has played for major clubs such as Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona and AC Milan, which is enough to show that people still have expectations for him.

But at present, Felix did not kick out, at least after going to Saudi Arabia, the material resources were guaranteed.
