The strength of Messi and C Ronaldo lies not only in the control of Dream Three at the peak and the Three Consecutive Champions League championships of Real Madrid, but also in the fact that even if they enter the final years of their careers, they can still shine and occupy the focus of world football for nearly 15 years.
Will this year's World Cup be an opportunity for newcomers to come to the fore? Among the young people after 00, who can succeed Merrow?
01. Bringing the national derby to the World Cup: Barca Golden Boy PK Real Madrid Cubs
Before the national team match, the pinnacle duel between Barca and Real Madrid attracted the attention of countless people. As a result, under the organization and dispatch of Pedri, the Red and Blues defeated Real Madrid 4-0 away.
Vinicius faced Araujo's defense, and while it could create a certain threat, it was clearly not enough.
Pedri's strength lies in his super ability to control the ball in situ and his getting better and better passes. This time, after holding the ball against Militon, he turned around and sent a top ball to give Felan Torres a one-handed chance.
Had it not been for the latter's delay in handling the ball, which led to the blocking of The Shot by Casemiro, Barca might have been able to achieve a bigger win.
In the Europa League away match against Galatasaray, Pedri scored a goal that could rival Messi's that year after scoring into the box, helping the team to complete the reversal in the 0-1 situation.
In Pedri's body, Barca fans have seen too many shadows of the dream three. He seems a bit like Xavi and a bit like Iniesta, who can make a fuss between the two lines of defense of the opponent, completing beautiful balls, passing, getting rid of and passing.
Although Vinicius did not perform well in the last national derby, he still had a good goal to pass Valverde's shot after eating Araujo, but unfortunately he was saved by Ter Stegen.
In the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain, Vinicius posed the biggest offensive threat, even higher than Neymar, Mbappe and Messi.
The only problem is that Pedri has become an absolute workhorse in Spain, even wearing the number 10 shirt. Vinicius' main position in Brazil is not stable, and whether he can enter the first striker depends on the subsequent development.
02. England Shines: Who Will Be the Brightest?
If Pedri and Vinicius support the glory of La Liga, then the English post-00s stars in the Premier League are also expected to write their own protagonist stories.
Foden, who grew up fast under Guardiola, has scored 11 goals in all competitions this season, along with 10 assists.
Foden may have the same problems as Vinicius, who may not necessarily be England's starting point. Although there are still more than half a year to go, the strong Three Lions Legion is not much at present for the post-00s nova.
Sancho and Saka still need to compete for a starter on the right, and even if Trippier stays healthy, they could both be substitutes.
Greenwood, who was originally the most optimistic and at the same time the most brilliant data, because of his impulsiveness and stupidity, let himself go to the cell to compete for the "prisoner king" throne, and lost the possibility of becoming Merrow's successor.
03. The post-00s who can't come to the World Cup: There is also the possibility of succeeding Mero
In 2021, the post-00s Haaland set too many incredible records. First of all, he is the presence of the most doubles in the five major leagues, overpowering Messi, Levan and Cristiano Ronaldo.
He also became the player in Bundesliga history who needed the fewest games to achieve 50 goals (only used 50 games), and the youngest of all the players he had ever done before (only 21 years, 4 months and 6 days at the time of completion).
Unfortunately, due to injury, Haaland did not go well in 2022, and even lost to the Netherlands in the final round of the World Preliminary Round (he was absent due to injury), resulting in missing the World Cup.
Like Haaland, the injury hit Barca's No. 10 Fati. Originally thought that he would be the one who supported the red and blue future after Messi left, but now because of repeated injuries, Barca fans are waiting to see through.
Although as long as they are healthy, they can score goals, even Real Madrid is Fati's knife ghost. But if a genius can't stay fit, he can't have a chance to catch up with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Another young man who was widely seen was Germany's Wertz, with his calm passing and strong running ability, a player whose style was somewhat similar to Griezmann's, and was considered Mueller's successor.
Unfortunately, the severe injury of the cruciate ligament tear made him likely to miss out on this World Cup. Fortunately, Wiltz is still very young, and he still has opportunities in the future.
Statistically, the U23 players in Europe's top five leagues have changed their data on the offensive end in the last 2 seasons. Haaland and Mbappe were the weapon in scoring goals, with James, Arnold, Foden, Wiltz, Vinicius and Leo all making great strides.
Conclusion:
The World Cup is a stage for superstars and an opportunity for newcomers. Who can use this competition to stand out and become the football leader of the next era?
Maybe the height of Messi and C Ronaldo will not be reached for a long time in the future. However, Pedri, Vinicius, Foden and other post-00s geniuses will still strive to write their own protagonist chapters.
