Five major championships – five incredible players.

The world no longer revolves around Ronaldo and Messi. The throne has not yet been occupied and it is difficult to name the winner of the 2024 Ballon d’Or. Guardiola, with the nostalgia that characterizes him, proposes to award two prizes. One for Messi and the other for those who follow him. But Lionel gives United States of America and without world Cup he will not take the title of best footballer of the new season. Now the main actor is not determined based on the results of the calendar year; the fight has already begun.

The young Bellingham realized faster than his colleagues that he had to step on the gas, but the start of the season allows us to highlight the five players who represent the major leagues. Moreover, not everyone can be called situational heroes, like the 27-year-old Guinean Guirassi, who scored 13 goals in 7 Bundesliga matches with Stuttgart, but he is definitely not a candidate for the title of the best footballer of the season, unlike the heroes presented below .

Serie A. Lautaro Martinez (Inter)

Let’s start the conversation with a prominent representative of the elite caste of footballers. The fate of the world champions develops differently. An aristocratic title will not make “Dib” Martinez or “Cutie” Romero noble. Papa Gomez could leave football if it is proven that he has used doping. But Lautaro Martinez, despite being remembered for his mistakes in Qatar, is tearing things up in Serie A after his return to Inter. Four goals against Salernitana are a great feat, especially after coming off the bench. Lautaro also played well at the start of the season. The whole battle of the new Serie A season is ahead, but Martinez is coach Inzaghi’s championship hope.

nuclear submarine. Rodrigo Hernandez (Manchester City)

We get it, fans nuclear submarine We were waiting here for Holland. But Erling didn’t deserve it after the start of the new season. Nominated by nuclear submarine you can call Saka, but so far the winger has not become the new Henry in the sense for Arsenal. Salah’s thoughts are in Saudi Arabia, where he can build a pyramid with money. Therefore, we highlight Rodri. Manchester City are doing well despite the defeat against Arsenal. But Guardiola lost against the Gunners without Rodri, who was suspended. But the red card does not change the assessment of Hernandez Cascante. In the new season nuclear submarine The Spaniard has 91.2% of accurate passes in the final thirds of the pitch. The experienced midfielder takes the place of the injured De Bruyne, although he also manages to defend. Rodri is Busquets’ heir, an underrated hero, but not as harmful as Sergio.

Bundesliga. Harry Kane (Bayern)

It would be a mockery for the Englishman if Bayern remained trophyless while Kane approached Lewandowski’s record for goals in a Bundesliga season. Harry is a normal boy, as he has demonstrated several times off the pitch. But the fat boy from Arsenal school also became a great footballer. But his taste for clubs disappointed him. Tottenham are not built for great success, unlike Bayern. Kane had a great start in Germany: 9 goals and 5 assists in nine Bundesliga and Champions League matches, but at the same time he ended up in a team that overwhelmingly lost the trophy to Leipzig, namely the national Super Cup . The favorite so far is also third in the Bundesliga. But if we evaluate not Bayern, but Kane, then Harry immediately proved that he is equal to Lewandowski, from whom the cowardly Frenchman stole the deserved Ballon d’Or. Bayern winger Sane may be able to put together a month and a half of elite football, but Kane is a symbol of stability and class.

Ligue 1. Kylian Mbappe (PSG)

He prepared poorly for the season, because he organized a boycott demanding his release at Real Madrid and had a good time. Then Perez regretted the record money, Mbappe had to pretend that he had made peace with the protégé of the Qatari sheikhs on the sinful soil of Paris. It’s a shame that Kylian has spent half of his career in a league that has no equal nuclear submarine and La Liga. He has new defeats ahead of him PSG. But if you evaluate the class of a footballer, then in France there has been no one cooler for a long time. But this is a country whose team participated in the European Championship final, won the World Cup and was one step away from Argentine goalkeeper Martinez’s second victory. Mbappe should have moved to Real Madrid to break the defensive lines with Bellingham. But also inside PSG in poor condition, the striker scored 7 goals in seven matches in the French championship. We hope that Kylian does not repeat the mistakes of slobs Ronaldinho and Neymar, remains a professional and chooses a new club wisely.

La Liga. Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)

Jude’s wave of adoration is a little scary, because such attention often harms young players. Haaland is cold-minded, so the Norwegian said that excessive pressure and the eternal desire to weave a footballing plot around his modest persona are starting to infuriate him. Bellingham is a different breed. At Dortmund his teammates considered him arrogant. This is true. Jude, when the English ask him when he will play nuclear submarine, answers that allow them to look for someone else. He plans to run away from La Liga rivals Real Madrid for the next nine seasons. It’s great that the cheeky Bellingham has ended up in a team where these guys are adored. Even the young Ronaldo, after his first successful seasons in Madrid, was not modest. It’s too early for Bellingham to catch up with the big players, but Jude is a nice guy at the start of the season. He scored 8 goals and made 2 assists in La Liga, and he still hasn’t forgotten his productive actions in the Champions League.

Every championship now has a symbolic player. And although it is obvious that such a person does not exist anywhere, the final circle of contenders for high positions in the ranking of the best players of the season is always very narrow. We doubt Luataro will get in unless Inter wins Champions League. Rodri’s position will disappoint him; defenders are rarely chosen first. But Mbappe, Kane and Bellingham, with their potential success at Euro 2024 and their wealthy clubs’ bids for the Champions League, could compete for the vacant throne. One of the most interesting leitmotifs of the football season. Who will be the new king? We can’t rule out Haaland either, but Erling must learn to play decisive matches to gain global recognition.
