Golden Shoe | Golden Boot”>Janice Cayman won the Golden Shoe in 2017, but couldn’t believe her own eyes and ears when she also won the prize tonight.
Cayman has been working for several years at the French top club Olympique Lyon and is of course also a key player with the Red Flames.
She got 260 points behind her name and thus beat her fellow Red Flame Tessa Wullaert by one point.
Tine De Caigny, last year’s Golden Boot, finished in third place with 227 points.
Wullaert remains the record holder with 3 Shoes, but is now being chased by Cayman.
The brand new Golden Shoe and her teammates in the national team are trying to shine at the European Championships in England next summer.
Janice Cayman herself seemed a bit out of the blue when she heard her name mentioned. “Of course you always secretly hope for it, but Tessa and Tine played a very strong season. Let’s say it’s a pleasant surprise.”
Where she made that one point difference, Cayman cannot say. “I just said it was due to age, but maybe it has something to do with Lyon getting so far in the Champions League.”
Cayman thinks she is a better player than she was 5 years ago when she won the Golden Boot for the first time. “I have become better at everything. Lyon is a top club. It is an honor to play football there.”
