The old demon is old and does not retreat, the wave after the little demon is turbulent, and the distribution of stars with "two tips" has made a large number of post-90s generations lost.
At the end of the year, the major awards were announced. Standing in the center of the stage, in addition to the post-80s veterans who have accompanied fans for more than a decade, are the post-00s rising stars who have stubble after stubble, while the post-90s who should be the mainstay of football have a dismal harvest in 2021. Compared with heroes such as Messi, C Ronaldo and Levan, who continue to harvest records, and Pedri, Garvey, Saka and other newcomers who are young and rich, Neymar, Hazard and Griezmann are even more unable to maintain their personal status. The distribution of stars with "two pointed heads" has made a large number of post-90s generations a lost generation.
According to the football "generation gap" algorithm of the 4-year generation, the post-80s and post-00s appear on the same court full of "crossing" flavor. Even if you leave aside Messi, C Luo, Levan and other people who are so good that fans are accustomed to it, many veterans who should have faded out are still indispensable immediate combat strength.
If the 40-year-old Ibrahimovic, 37-year-old Chiellini, 35-year-old Zheko, and 34-year-old Bonucci's "old-fashioned beauty" can still be attributed to Serie A's preference for veterans, then Real Madrid, which shouted the slogan "2030" many years ago, has relied on old ministers such as Benzema and Modric for many years, which is a rare spectacle, but the miracle that the magic flute is still full of magic at the age of 36 and benzema is still rising at the age of 34 makes all this seem reasonable. Even looking at the most fierce confrontation and iteration of the Premier League, Vardy (35), who scored 9 goals this season, is still in the top three of the top scorers list, and Although Cavani (34 years old) does not play much, he often makes decisive contributions, and the fight is a rare labor model in the Frontcourt of Manchester United.
This year, many veterans whose careers were once questioned also began a journey of rebirth: the 33-year-old Busquets was an indispensable metronome in Barca and Spain; the 32-year-old Müller brushed the assists to the fly; the 37-year-old Pepe is still the Portugal team's extraordinarily reliant general. In the age of 50 people on the Golden Globes list, it is not surprising that all the above old fritters have been shortlisted.
In recent years, the Golden Globes have had few new faces, and the Golden Boy has been a hot year since Mbappe, De Ligt, Felix and Haaland. Pedri, who set a football appearance record last season, although he was selected with the same precocious performance, but he almost all lost the second half of the year, but in fact, he felt the surging momentum of Garvey in his early 19s, who broke the record of Spain's youngest international after completing a team debut and first goal in succession. The La Masian youngster, who has not yet officially registered with the Barça first team, may make the Rosso-Ross the first team in history to win the Golden Boy award from different players.
In Arsenal, which also began the reconstruction process, Saka, who is regarded as the future soul of the team, is also weak, and Martinelli of the same age and Smith Rowe, who is only 1 year old, have formed the gunners' version of the "Little Tigers"; and under Tuchel, who is also good at using newcomers, Mount and Hedson-Odoi have been out of the army, Reese James is fierce, and Chaloba Jr. is also taking on a heavier role in the defense line; and Real Madrid is in the middle of some of the core aging, and the new generation of representatives Vinicius is also about to be reborn this year. Coupled with Talents such as Foden, Greenwood, and Musiara, a large number of post-00s and 90s have left a brilliant 2021.
Compared with these little demons and old demons, the 90-95 age star who is in the golden age is more and more embarrassed in the gap between the two generations. In fact, since the end of the 10-year-long Golden Globe "Merro co-governance" in 2018, the major institutions have spared no effort to promote the Mesozoic Generation, but the good intention of "helping the horse and sending a ride" has been wrongly paid for three consecutive years.
In 2019, Van Dijk, who pushed Messi and C Ronaldo to win the European Footballer of the Year, seems to be a late declaration of the post-90s, but after that, the state of the Dutch has declined slightly. Even if Merro is no longer at the peak level, the main winner of the major awards can only be Levin, who is only 1 year younger and 3 years younger than the two, respectively. In this year's Mr. Euro selection, Mero Levan did not enter the top three, but the judges pushed out the new Jorginho, De Bruyne and Kante are all older young people born in 1991, and the final selection of Wakabori is the weakest winner of the individual strength since the establishment of this award, coupled with the crotch performance in the Italian team in the second half of the year, it really betrayed the judges' good intentions.
The post-90s support is not correct, which is stifling. Neymar, who was originally below Mero and above ten thousand people, continued to be bearish after joining Paris Saint-Germain, and even he inadvertently revealed the discouraged attitude of quitting Brazil after next year's World Cup; Hazard, who was once close to the third man in football, became the most loss-making reinforcement in real Madrid's history, and the cliff-like decline was shocking. In Barca's "five zero" Griezmann, returning to Atletico is only invisible, and the premature aging situation is more obvious.
The chaotic atmosphere in Catalonia has lost a large number of Mesozoic generations who should have provoked the beams: Ter Stegen, the "shooting death" of the new branch, the "loyal soul" Umtiti of the Buddhist family lying flat, the less capable Lenglet, the more confused Frenchi De Jong, if they can be of great use, Laporta will have the idea of selling half of the team and Soha Ha land?
In English football, although there is a rare Mesozoic model such as Salah, cases of not advancing or retreating are still abounding. Both Kane and Pogba lost enthusiasm in the long transfer tug-of-war with the club; de Bruyne, although he recently returned, injuries, new crown and role positioning problems led him to a relatively bleak year since his fame; and Aubameyang, who stepped on the tip of his nose in the 90s, quickly entered sage mode after the contract extension, and was stripped of the captain's armband is really self-inflicted; Bale, who is the same age as the American Sheep, began to decline long ago before entering the ranks of veterans, and returned to Tottenham to write a story that was better than nostalgic.
The old demon does not retreat when he is old, the wave after the little demon is turbulent, and the general environment of "respecting the old and loving the young" is an important cause. In the era of more advanced sports science, the lifespan and peak years of players have been extended as never before. Not to mention that C Ronaldo, who grew backwards after the age of 30, once drew the Golden Ball count and Messi, and the new generation of data maniac Levan also continued to improve after the age of 30. In addition, recent rule reforms in football, such as the tightening of the scale of fouls and red and yellow cards, supplemented by VAR's visibility into defensive violations, have helped attackers to display their talents and maintain their health. The benefits they have gained as a result far outweighed the losses of a number of goals deprived of their body hair offside.
As for the emergence of the little demon, in addition to the progress of youth training and scientific research and a more systematic production model, it can better guarantee the output of at least "quantity", and the outrageous inflation of the transfer market in previous years has long reminded the clubs that everyone's actual purchasing power is far from rising with the increase in revenue, and cultivating high-quality talents at a much lower cost is the real shortcut. Years on, prescient clubs have begun to reap the fruits. When the epidemic struck, most clubs were forced to tighten their money bags and even suffered a financial crisis, which also contributed to a more conducive environment for the little demon to take office, and Barca was naturally the most prominent representative of this.
Of course, one of the premises of people marveling at the ferocity of the little demon is that everyone judges the youngsters differently from mature stars. The youngster's surprise is enough to win applause, and for mature stars, the expectations are of course much higher. This difference in standards has also exacerbated the disappointment of a large number of Mesozoic players. The homogenization of players caused by the deviation of the national youth training route in the early years made it easier for a small number of prominent stars to stand out from the crowd. It is difficult to catch up with Mero, but it is more than enough, and it also receives a very high salary, which is not a problem for a professional model like Levan, but for some talents with insufficient self-discipline, it may be enough to affect their motivation to forge ahead, which in turn becomes one of the thrusts of the emergence of the little demon. Now that the post-00s have reached their golden age, Merlot should have completely faded out, hoping that they can set more ambitious goals and avoid repeating the mistakes of their predecessors.
