More than 800 players will represent their respective countries at the World Cup this year on soccer’s biggest stage. A select few, however, reign above the rest.
So far this season, Neymar has 15 goals and 12 assists in 20 games. The playmaker has an eye for key passes, is an electric dribbler and causes headaches for defenders when he creates something out of nothing. With a top-ranked squad beside him, now may be his time to bring the prophecy to life as Brazil’s beloved son tries to lead them to their first major title since 2002.
With nine goals and three assists to his name in 22 games this season, Bellingham plays as though he has been around for years and is tipped to start games. Watch out for his tenacity, grit and overflowing confidence because this teenager is truly just getting started and will be keen to strut his stuff with the world watching.Staying in Germany, we have another talent for you to keep an eye on, but he plays for the other Bundesliga giant.
Not everything he does gets on the scoresheet, but the teenager’s ability to visualize a run, set up his teammates or dribble beyond multiple players with exception control skills keeps him a talent to watch. Learning from Lionel Messi can have its perks, of course, and he didn’t win the 2021 Golden Boy award for nothing.If you’re not in tune with soccer year-round, CTVNews.ca also glanced at the rosters to let you know some names to watch who don’t make headlines as often.
