In this article, we will take a look at the players who have won the Golden Boot in the Eredivisie since the 21st century, and see how many of them have really become synonymous with parallel goodsIn this issue, we will first take a look at the Eredivisie Golden Boots from 2001 and 2010.
Mateja Kezman 00 01 &02 03 &03 04 Golden Boot. In the summer of 2000, the 21-year-old Kezman came to Eindhoven from the Belgrade partisans. In the four seasons of the Eredivisie, the Serb can be said to be like a fish in water, winning three Golden Boots in 000000 (24 goals), 02 03 (35 goals) and 03 04 (31 goals), and PSV Eindhoven also won two Eredivisie titles and three Dutch Super Cup titles with his continuous goals.
Such impressive performances led him to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2004, but at Chelsea he did not have the Eredivisie Golden Boot for three times, scoring just seven goals in 41 appearances in all competitions (four in 25 Premier League games). Such dismal statistics led him to be purged to Atletico Madrid after one season, but his form was still average, and it was still difficult to improve after moving to many teams, and in January 2012, Kezman retired from the Hong Kong Super League team Hong Kong South China.
Pierre van Hoojdonk 01 02 season Golden Boot. In the summer of 2001, Van Hojdonk, who was almost 33 years old, joined Feyenoord. However, the Dutchman proved that he was not old, scoring 24 goals in 33 games and winning the Golden Boot to help the team finish third. In the League Cup, he also won the Golden Boot with a terrifying performance of 8 goals in 8 games and helped Feyenoord win the title. Van Hojdonk joined Fenerbahce in the summer of '03, Breda in the summer of '05, then returned to Feyenoord in January '06 and retired in the summer of '07.
Dirk Kuyt 04 05 Season Golden Boot. The 25-year-old played for Feyenoord this season and won the Eredivisie Golden Boot with 29 goals in 34 games. Kuyt joined Liverpool in the summer of 2006, and due to tactical and other reasons in the Premier League, Kuyt's goal efficiency cannot be compared with that in the Eredivisie, but he is still an important member of the team. Kuyt joined Fenerbahce in the summer of 2012 and returned to Feyenoord in the summer of '15. Kuyt briefly retired in the summer of '17 after leading the team back to the Eredivisie title, and in the summer of '18 he made a brief comeback with the Fast Boys, but retired soon after.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar 05 06 &07 08 Golden Boot. The Golden Boot of Huntelaar 05 06 was a special one, as he scored 17 goals in 15 games for Heerenveen in the first half of the season. He moved to Ajax in the winter window and scored 16 goals in 16 games, eventually winning the Golden Boot with 33 goals. In the 07 08 season, he scored 33 goals in 34 games and wore the Golden Boot for the second time. During this time, he helped Ajax win two Dutch Cups and one Dutch Super Cup.
In January '09, Huntelaar joined Real Madrid, and his performance of 8 goals in 20 games was not too bad, but because Real Madrid welcomed back Florentino in the summer of '09, Huntelaar was purged to AC Milan. In a season at AC Milan, Huntelaar made 30 appearances in all competitions, scoring just seven goals, and was purged again at the end of the season and sold to Schalke 04. Fortunately, this time Huntelaar was reborn, not only helping the team win a German Cup and the German Super Cup, but also winning the Bundesliga Golden Boot with 29 goals in the 11 12 season. Huntelaar returned to Ajax in the summer of '16 and helped the team win two Eredivisie titles, the Dutch Cup and the Dutch Super Cup once. In the winter window of 2021, Huntelaar returned to Schalke, which was mired in relegation, but unfortunately the team was eventually relegated, and Huntelaar also retired at the end of the season.
Afonso Alves 06 07 season Golden Boot. When the 26-year-old Brazilian striker Alves scored 34 goals in 31 games for Heerenveen, many teams became interested in the Eredivisie golden boot. In the winter window of '08, Middlesbrough in the Premier League signed him for a record-breaking **, and as a result, he made 42 Premier League appearances in one and a half seasons with the team, scoring only 10 goals, and Myburgh was also relegated at the end of the 08 09 season. Alves then left for Qatar and left the Europa League.
Mounir El Hamdaoui 08 09 Golden Boot. The Moroccan-Dutch dual national exploded in the 08 09 season, scoring 23 goals in 31 games to win the Golden Boot and helping AZ Alkmaar to the Eredivisie title. But after leaving AZ Alkmaar, Hamdoi's career began to take a turn for the worse, eventually retiring in the summer of '22.
Luis Suárez 09 10 season Golden Boot。Suya's success is unquestionable, and he is also the most successful in the Eredivisie Golden Boot of the 21st century, scoring 35 goals in 31 games for Ajax in the 09-10 season.
