On the eve of the World Cup in Qatar, Gonzalo Ramos, a "post-00", ushered in his national team debut in a friendly match.
At that time, he was just one of the inconspicuous young geniuses in Portugal.

The quarter-final against the Swiss team was the first time the 21-year-old Ramos made his debut in the World Cup.
Before that, even the most die-hard fans may not necessarily have heard of his name.
However, just 67 minutes later, Ramos not only wrote himself into the history of the World Cup, but was also labeled as "C Ronaldo's successor".

After a lapse of 32 years, the "hat trick" finally reappeared in the World Cup knockout round.
With three goals and one assist, Ramos became the first player to complete a "hat-trick" in this cup.
In front of him, all the Swiss team's pre-match arrangements became in vain.
The chasing boy became famous in one battle.
When Ramos rushed to the sidelines with open arms to celebrate wantonly, the situation could not help but remind people of another teenager who turned out in the World Cup.
Data map: Young Michael Owen
In the summer of France in 1998, also in the quarter-finals, Owen became a blockbuster.
England v Argentina, a match that will go down in history, brought together all the exciting elements of football.
In the 16th minute of the first half, Beckham, in his prime, sent a wonderful pass, and Owen lightly unloaded the ball and started to attack.
He used his speed to throw off the defense, and then passed the long-established Ayala by changing directions, and scored calmly against the goalkeeper.
At the age of 19, Owen completed this beautiful "artwork" that is representative of his career.
Over the years, it is still played repeatedly in countless promotional films.
Data map: Ronaldinho
From obscurity to household name, from ordinary players to a generation of superstars, the World Cup is naturally a breeding ground for magic, and too many people are remembered on this stage.
In the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, Brazil's "3R" offensive combination was well-known.
However, compared with the well-known Ronaldo and Rivaldo, the young Ronaldinho at that time was much inferior.
But Ronaldinho, who turned into an elf, let the whole world watch him dance alone.
In the confrontation between Brazil and England, the old goalkeeper Seaman unfortunately became the background board for Ronaldinho to go to the world.
It was a free kick 35 meters away from the goal and close to the sideline. Ronaldinho did not follow the routine to pass the ball to the penalty area, but unexpectedly chose to hang the goal directly.
Seaman, who had already stepped forward, was unprepared for this, and the ball fell into the net after drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
Brazil eliminated England with this ball, and Ronaldinho embarked on the road to superstar because of this ball.
When the latecomers celebrated their goals with samba dance, their predecessors had already finished the most magnificent chapter on the court.
Data map: Baggio when he was young
Looking forward, in the 1994 World Cup, the "salvation of one person" made Baggio eternal.
But before that, "one man's goal" has already made the world remember the appearance of the prince.
In the summer of Italy in 1990, in the group match between the host and Czechoslovakia, Baggio, who got the ball in the midfield, scored after passing several people by dribbling.
The whole process was completed in one go, and Baggio's freehand brushwork and chic were fully displayed.
No wonder someone commented: "Baggio's goal should be painted and sent to an Italian museum collection."
If Baggio is the representative of elegance, then Suarez is the embodiment of ghosts.
Suarez blocks the must-goal with his hands
Suarez in the World Cup is so special. Not only the "shocking bite" but also the goal line save that made him famous 12 years ago will remain in the fans' memory for a long time.
In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, when the quarter-finals between Uruguay and Ghana reached the last minute of overtime, Aditya's header was about to send the Ghana team into the semi-finals.
The ball flew past Uruguayan goalkeeper Muslera and into the net.
Suarez on the goal line chose to destroy himself, and he reached out to block the necessary goal.
Whistle, red card, but Ghana missed a penalty.
Uruguay advanced through a penalty shootout, and the classic was written.

Although Suarez is amazing, he is still not as good as Maradona.
The 1986 World Cup belonged to him alone.
The quarter-finals between Argentina and England witnessed Maradona's sublimation from superstar to world champion.
"God's Hand" and "Five People in a row" appeared at the same time, and the combination of angels and devils represented the uniqueness of the ball king.
Since then, where there is football, there is Maradona.
