The European Golden Boy Award is an award that only began last year. Hosted by the "Torino Sports Newspaper", every year to the authoritative sports media in 20 European countries, more than 30 journalists composed of an expert jury to send ballots, these media vote, each vote can be counted up to 10 points, and finally the "Torino Sports Newspaper" is responsible for the statistics, the player with the highest score won the "Turin Sports Award" awarded by the "Turin Sports Newspaper".

Because this award is voted and scored by professional and authoritative media, the authority and professionalism are guaranteed.

Secondly, because this is the only major prize for players under the age of 21, this award is full of gold.

It can be said that those who can win this award must be the best among young players.

Because the media selection is not like the selection of national team coaches and captains, only the fame is recognized, and whoever is famous will be selected. The selection of the media should be more rigorous, and they will refer to it from many aspects.

Authoritative media such as France Football, Team Newspaper, The Times, Marca, World Sports Newspaper, Bild and other authoritative media are all judges.

This is also the reason why the European Ballon d'Or Award is obviously a continental football award, but in terms of status, it is on par with the World Footballer of the Year hosted by FIFA.

So even though the European Golden Boy Award has only been held for a year, winning this award is also the goal of many young players.

The winner of the first European Golden Boy Award was Dutch player Van der Vaart, who played for Ajax.

Van der Vaart played well at Ajax that year and was already at the heart of the Dutch giants.

This year's European Golden Boy Award is very competitive.

Because there are two players who have performed well, it is difficult to choose.

Glory has been in excellent league form for the year that is coming to an end, helping Werder Bremen to the Bundesliga title, scoring 21 goals of his own and also impressing in the Champions League this season, scoring six goals in the group stage and currently sitting second in the Champions League scorer list, behind Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy with eight goals.

Wayne Rooney, on the other hand, excelled at Everton and joined the giants United in the summer for a fee that broke the transfer value of young players in England, as well as being named in the England national team and excelling at Euro 2004 in the summer. After joining Manchester United, he scored a hat-trick in his first Champions League game, which can be described as the limelight.

Both of them are young and have performed very well.

It's hard to choose one of them.

But most people feel that despite the difficulty, Glory should be able to become the golden boy of Europe.

Glory doesn't have an overwhelming advantage over Rooney, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have an advantage.

Glory's performance at Werder Bremen is obvious to all, and like Wayne Rooney, he was also in a team that was supposed to be mid-table, and Rooney was not able to help Everton win the Premier League. But glory allowed Werder Bremen to win their first title in 16 years.
