China News Agency, Beijing, November 15th (Reporter Xing Chong) The 2022 World Cup is about to kick off.
Who will become the most shining star in Qatar, known as the "bright pearl on the Arabian Peninsula"?
Messi and Ronaldo (C Ronaldo), who are regarded as the "peerless twins" of football, will both embark on their fifth World Cup trip, which may be the swan song of their careers.
Even though there are countless honors, neither of them has ever lifted the Hercules Cup with their own hands.
In the last World Cup, Argentina and Portugal both stopped in the quarter-finals.
Everyone longs for a perfect curtain call in their careers. For Messi and Ronaldo, who are already at the peak, they may have to go through the most difficult step of the World Cup.
After winning the South American Cup and the European and American Cup, the Argentine team is fully competitive in this World Cup. In addition, the overall strength of the opponents in the group stage is average. Compared with the stumbling of the last cup, the "Pampas Eagle" may be able to " Fly higher".
Messi bluntly said in an interview that the Argentine team is in good shape and is in a "very good moment".
Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup journey is also difficult to call perfect. In the four World Cups he has participated in, the best result of the Portuguese team was the fourth place in 2006. In 2010 and 2018, he stopped in the top 16. In 2014, he did not qualify from the group stage. .
Cristiano Ronaldo's performance at Manchester United this season is not satisfactory, and even caused a storm of leaving the team, but in the national team, he is still a well-deserved core figure. If he scores again in Qatar, Ronaldo will become the player who has scored goals in five consecutive World Cups The first person in history.
The 35-year-old Benzema returned to the French team after a lapse of six years. The new Golden Globe winner will lead his team to defend the title, and this may also be his "last battle" in the World Cup.
The 34-year-old Polish striker Lewandowski has not as rich World Cup experience as Messi and Ronaldo, but he is quite a late bloomer. This season's transfer to Barcelona is still unabated. This time he broke the "scoring shortage" of the World Cup or not puzzle.
Mbappe, who played alongside Benzema, the Danish core Eriksson who was reborn after the catastrophe, the British duo Kane and Bale, and Sun Xingmin, the light of Asia who played with injuries, are also players worthy of attention in this World Cup .
The World Cup has always been a testing ground for new stars to make their mark, and their glory is no less than that of the already famous superstars. Mbappe, who shined brilliantly four years ago and won the best rookie in the World Cup, has now become the absolute main force of the French team.
In this cup, a group of "post-00s" teenagers will appear on the stage, and they will start their more shining football life from here.
Vinicius, who was born in a Brazilian slum in 2000, ushered in a "big explosion" last season. He surrendered 22 goals and 20 assists in 52 games for Real Madrid, including the decisive goal of this year's Champions League final. The best young player in the UEFA Champions League.
He is regarded as "the best attacker around Neymar" in this cup. He bluntly expressed his desire to become the team's starter and provide more help to the national team.
The young talents of the England team are dazzling, and Foden, who is only 22 years old, is already the most expensive player in the team.
According to statistics, he can hang a championship medal on average every 300 minutes in club games-in the past two years, 2430 minutes of playing time, Foden won two Premier League titles, one FA Cup title, three league titles with Manchester City. Cup champion and two Community Shield Cup champions, which made players of the same age envious.
The 19-year-old Bellingham was the best rookie in the Bundesliga last season. Last year's European Cup was his England debut, showing extraordinary strength, vision and foot skills.
As an extremely talented football player, some people say that Bellingham is "one of the top five midfielders in the world", "the next Lampard" and "the next Vieira". The World Cup in Qatar will be him to prove himself best time.
However, Spain has won the Copa Award and the European Golden Boy Award for two consecutive years: the 19-year-old Pedri was the winner of the Copa Award, the European Golden Boy Award and the best young player in the European Cup last year, and the 18-year-old Garvey is this year's winner. Winner of the Copa Award and the European Golden Boy Award.
The former is hailed as Iniesta's successor, and the latter is called "the next Harvey".
In Qatar, this pair of Spanish golden boys is something to look forward to.
In addition, the teenager Musiala who chose to play for the German team, Alfonso Davis, the number one hero of Canada's return to the World Cup, and the "genius midfielder" Chuameni of the French team are also young players that cannot be ignored.
