The following article will discuss some of the most influential football players that are expected to participate in this prestigious tournament in a few short years from now.
Lionel Messi is a unique footballer. He was born in Argentina and started playing football at the age of four years. He joined the youth team of Newells Old Boys at age 11 and played there for a year before his family moved to Spain where he signed with FC Barcelona.
At the age of 13, he began playing for their junior squad, scoring more than a goal per game. At 16, he made his debut as an FC Barcelona first-team player. At 18, he became the youngest player to score a goal in official club tournaments. In 2004, he became the youngest player ever to play.
Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro GOIH (born 5 February 1985) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Italian club Juventus and the Portugal national team. Often considered the best player in the world, Ronaldo has a record-tying five Ballon d'Or awards,[note 1] the most for a European player, and is the first player to win four European Golden Shoes.[note 2] He has won 26 trophies in his career, including five league titles, five UEFA Champions League titles and one UEFA European Championship.
According to Forbes, Ronaldo was the highest-paid athlete.
Kylian Mbappé Lottin ( French pronunciation: ? [kiljan mba?pe]; born 20 December 1998) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Paris Saint-Germain and the France national team.
Mbappé has been described as a "young striker with electric pace, an eye for goal and bags of talent" by Thierry Henry.[5] A product of the Monaco youth academy, he became a key part of the first team during the 2015–16 season, winning the Ligue 1 championship, being named Ligue 1 Young Player.
Mohamed is an 11-year-old footballer from Eastleigh, who plays for his local junior team, Hursley United. Mohamed had been playing football since he was 5 but was never very confident in himself. His coach and teammates were always saying that he should be more positive and confident on the pitch, but he never really listened to them.
But at the start of 2016, he made a New Year's resolution to change his attitude and his performance on the field. He started to spend time visualizing a positive outcome before every game and during every training session, and as a result, he stopped.
Virgil van Dijk is one of the best footballers in the world. His story is fascinating. He was born in Nuenen, Netherlands, in 1990. He started playing football on the streets with his friends, and he became a goalie because of the lack of goalies in his team. When playing street football, he would use traffic cones as goals, and supermarket trolleys as nets. He was so impressive that a local club signed him up. Soon enough, he was attracting attention from bigger clubs.
