Unfortunately! 7 players who have no proven value in the Golden Boy Award! Who has the highest talent?

Golden Boy Award is awarded to one of the best young players in Europe every year. Rooney, Messi and Aguero have won this honor and proved the value of the Golden Boy Award.

However, some players are not that impressive, let's take a look at seven players who have reached their peak prematurely.

7. Anderson

Shortly after Anderson transferred from Porto to Manchester United, the Golden Boy Award was awarded.

Although Anderson played for Manchester United for eight years, the Brazilian did not show his extraordinary talent. Only in his first season did Anderson make 20 appearances at Manchester United, and more of them come on as a substitute.

He won many trophys at Old Trafford, but never played a stable role in the process of receiving these honors. He transferred to Brazil International and ended his career in the Turkish Super League.

6, Pato

A year after Anderson, Pato was named Golden Boy in 2009. He scored nine Serie A goals for AC Milan in 2007-08 and 15 in 2009-10.

But this is the last time Pato has achieved this result in the top European league. Since then, Pato has been in many clubs, including Corinthian, Sao Paulo, Chelsea, Villarreal, Tianjin Quanjian and other teams.

Pato played for Brazil at the age of 18, but ended his journey with the national team at the age of 24, which shows his depravity.

5. Balotelli

In 2010, Italian forward Balotelli transferred to Manchester City from Inter Milan and won the Golden Boy Award.

He showed a steady goal form in Italy and also maintained a stable position in England at the beginning, although not yet at an impressive level.

Although Balotelli did not show a significant decline, he never showed higher talent, and people mentioned that he was more of a "bad brain". The burlesque performance off the court covers up everything he did on the court, which is also a pity that if he could play well, the Italian national team would not have fallen into this way.

4, Pogba

He came out of Manchester United's youth training and reached its peak at Juventus. He has always been regarded as an amazing genius.

Pogba contributed 72 direct goals for Juventus in 190 games and grew into a world-class midfielder. Manchester United decided to bring him back with a club record of 89 million pounds.

He performed well in the first few seasons at Manchester United, but then began to fade out, especially after arguing with Mourinho, the decline was visible to the naked eye.

He showed his world-class ability at Old Trafford for years, but playing in Manchester United at a low point seemed to have taken him off track.

What might he achieve if he made a different decision in 2016?

3, Martial

When Martial debuted in 2015, people thought he could lead Manchester United to dominate the Premier League again. The Frenchman scored 17 goals and sent eight assists in all games for the rest of that season.

However, in the next season, he only scored 8 goals, and in the 19/20 season he returned to his last 17 goals, and then completely fell.

Currently he is in Athens, Greece, AEK, disappearing from people's sight.

2, Sanchez

Because Sanchez performed in the 2016 European Cup, he won the 2016 Golden Boy Award.

In addition to winning the European Cup that summer, he also transferred from Benfica to Bayern Munich. Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction, but a year later he was loaned to Swansea.

Sanchez, 27, still has the potential to achieve good results in the next few years, and his best stat so far is in Lille, scoring 2 goals and 5 assists throughout the season.

1. Felix

Felix scored 20 goals and provided 11 assists for Benfica in all games, which made him naturally win the 2019 Golden Boy Award.

This paved the way for a transfer to Atletico Madrid, but apparently Atletico Madrid became the sucker, and he never scored more than 10 goals in a season.

Since then, Felix has begun his career wandering, running around Chelsea, Barcelona and AC Milan.
