Another day of action and the winter break begins in the Jupiler Pro League. But the competition will resume in mid-January. Before the ball starts rolling again, the new Golden Boot winner will also be announced.
The Golden Boot has been awarded for decades to the best player on Belgian football, at least according to voters. But the procedure remains open for discussion. This means that voting takes place over an entire calendar year, divided into two rounds. In principle, we describe two different seasons that are eligible.
As a result, players who went elsewhere during the summer transfers have little chance of winning the cup, as they cannot collect points in the second round of voting. There are quite a few of them this year: Teddy Teuma, Mike Tresor, Victor Boniface, Calvin Stings, Bart Verbruggen, Noah Lange, Ayase Ueda, Willian Batcho,… .
Create a sensation
Fortunately, a number of trendsetters have stuck around as well. In addition, new stars were also able to appear. For example, with the masked leader Union SG, Mohamed Amoura made a huge impression. The striker was transferred from FC Lugano in the summer and is now considered one of the exciting events in Belgian football.
For example, the Algerian has already scored 13 goals in 14 league matches. Logically, his name is increasingly included in Golden Boot predictions, especially for the second round. Amora replied: “They already told me that. You prefer the best player in the competition, don't you? Every footballer wants to win an individual award, I think. It would be a great honour.” latest news.
Vanaken's number three?
But the competition is great, of course. For example, Championship creator Toby Alderweireld is the absolute favorite and his Antwerp team-mate Arthur Vermeeren will undoubtedly pick up the necessary points. Additionally, Union has a second competitor in Cameron Puertas. Gomorrah itself has a striking name. “There are many other candidates. I'm thinking of Hans Vanaken – I think he's really good – and Puertas of course. He's very strong.”
