So how were the English football prodigies forgotten?

 

Over the years, the UK has continuously produced many stars whose talents show up very early. But not all of them became top stars. England is a football crazy place and the press often inflates the world of players, especially local players. This is sometimes the cause of a negative impact on famous stars too soon. Many names were famous very early but until now, they are not known by many people and are slowly being forgotten.

Theo Walcott

 

In May 2006, English football team coach Sven Goran - Erikssson was surprised to bring the name Theo Walcott, then 16 years old, to England to attend the World Cup held in Germany. With the strength of speed, then Walcott is considered the new prodigy and the future of English football. But even in Arsenal's shirt and coach Arsene Wenger quite favored, but he still did not reach the world star level because the simple game did not develop. With that style of play, this player only helps himself shine in the first time he holds an important position. At that time people considered him a soccer prodigy and would develop even more in the future. However that didn't happen, he was unable to shine in his football career.

 

Each person's football career cannot be confirmed in advance

 

Marcus Rashford

 

At only 22 years old, a very young age, but Marcus Rashford had his fifth season in the first team for Man United and the owner of this team. With talent revealed very early, Rashford is in favorable conditions to develop when Man United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer likes to use young players as well as trained by Man United. With the current advantages, Rashford's future is probably even further. Everyone has thoughts of a shining future for this player. But the truth is not as expected, up to the present time, this football player has not really shined like what people expected.

 

Marcus Rashford also had a glorious time, but couldn't be more

 

Jadon Sancho

 

An English prodigy who is also making a splash is Jadon Sancho on Dortmund's payroll. At the time this football player was less than 20 years old, but he was considered the top winger at this time by a series of big teams such as Liverpool, Chelsea, or Man United. It is expected that Sancho will do what Owen or Rooney ever did to achieve world-class. But like some other players, football fans still do not see this name in the ranking of excellent football players in England.

 

Michael Owen

 

The Anfield legend was probably the one who gave birth to the concept of a prodigy when he shined at the age of 18 at the 1998 World Cup with a classic goal against Argentina. Since then, his career has not stopped going up with the peak of QBV in 2001. Unfortunately at the peak, his transition to Real Madrid has made Michael Owen's career go down completely. There are not good choices that can make your career shine better, but maybe vice versa. And Michael Owen is a prime example of that.

 

Jack Wilshere

 

Having been discovered by coach Arsene Wenger with a natural talent and played for Arsenal's first team at the age of 16, it is easy to understand why Wilshere was once considered a prodigy of English football. But the persistent injuries prevented him from being able to continue to shine at the highest level and became a major disappointment. Football is a brutal industry where there is fierce competition. If someone has the talent and the best effort and luck, he or she will shine. There are many people who do not have all these factors, or due to bad luck, they can only stop at a certain level, unable to develop their career any more.

 

Wayne Rooney

 

When he was just 17 years old, Wayne Rooney stepped into the light of an Everton shirt with a goal against Arsenal. He then moved on to Man United and became a legend of Old Trafford and England. Although he did not reach the peak of QBV, it can be said that the prodigy's career at this time was truly fulfilled. At that time, though only 17 years old, he was truly known as a soccer prodigy. Football fans cannot deny and deny this football player's talent. It is still more than expected that in the future, Wayne Rooney will develop and shine even more, becoming a world-famous football player. But the results so far, this football player has not really done what everyone expected. 

 

There are soccer players who shine only at a certain moment

 

Nii Lamptey

 

As a key factor that helped Ghana win the U17 World Cup championship in 1991, Nii Lamptey was then referred to as "Africa's Pele" with the ability to play ball skillfully. However, the pains that continuously occurred in family life made Lamptey unable to focus on developing a football career.

 

Lamptey then decided to give up his unfinished football dream and open a soccer training school for kids back home. There are footballers who cannot shine because of their limited abilities, but there are also people who have to give up their passion and great careers because of their grim fate. 

 

Through all the English football prodigies that once shined, but then did not develop anymore, it can be seen that the common point of these stars is the talent not to wait for age. But their development path was completely different, some people reached the top, but there were also people who were just prodigies who refused to grow up and then fell into oblivion forever. It is also the result of their being British so they get too much attention from the press, so not everyone is steadfast in their career path. This too early has become the turning point that affects the future careers of the players. But is that the truth?
