In less than two months, the Qatar World Cup will be unveiled, and the quadrennial World Cup is undoubtedly the ultimate dream of all football players, but perhaps it is fate, and many of football's top superstars have no chance to show themselves on this big stage of global focus.
With the World Cup approaching, the well-known German football media "Transfer Market" listed the value list of players who did not qualify for the World Cup in Qatar, and Norwegian star Haaland, who has the trend of succeeding Messi and C Ronaldo, ranked first with 150 million euros.
Haaland leads the World Cup valuation list
This also means that the World Cup is missing a big attraction worth 150 million euros!
Undoubtedly, the 22-year-old Haaland is far more talented than ordinary people, and he has just transferred to Manchester City and has an infinitely high ceiling in terms of winning honors, and not being able to participate in the World Cup does have a certain blow to its commercial value, but to some extent, "Magic Buou" does not participate in the World Cup for him It is not all bad for him.
Missing the World Cup is good for Haaland to impact club honours?
Human sorrow and joy are not connected. German striker Werner, who has left Chelsea this summer, is worth only 7 million euros less than Haaland in 53 million euros, but he has scored a total of 10 goals in 56 games in two seasons, and the goal efficiency is simply beaten by Haaland.
But Werner is not efficient, but in Germany, a football power that has been in the fray of strikers for many years, he can still get the World Cup ticket for the Germanic chariot, and Haaland has no chance to go to Qatar.
In the early morning of November 17, 2021, Beijing time, in the final round of Group G of the World Cup European Qualifiers, Norway lost 0-2 away to the Netherlands. In the end, Norway finished third in Group G with 18 points, bidding a premature farewell to the World Cup.
The World Cup does not see Haaland in the Norwegian shirt
Of course, it is precisely because Haaland missed the World Cup prematurely that Haaland who moved from Dortmund to Manchester City this season is full of firepower!
So far, Haaland has led both the Premier League (11 goals), the Champions League (3 goals) and the European League (6 goals) this season. He has the flexibility of a taekwondo player on the pitch, and can flash and move in the air to show off his comprehensive and solid shooting skills.
The 2022 World Cup in Qatar broke with the usual practice of holding in June and changed it to November. If you participate in the World Cup, the players have some concerns about their bodies when they participate in the league in the early stages, especially the top superstars, and no one wants to be too desperate to cause injuries before the World Cup.
But Harland doesn't have to worry about that. Celebrity Huang Jianxiang said that Haaland does not have to play in the World Cup this year, and can play with all his strength at the club to help Manchester City win the Champions League.
Wong also asserted that if both the Premier League and the Champions League were won, Haaland would be the "one" after Mero.
Joining Wong shares the same view as England star Ferdinand, who also said on the show that he is very optimistic about Haaland's performance at the club, precisely because he does not have to worry about the World Cup, so he can work harder to express himself at the club and is expected to impact more than 40 goals this season.
Weak team superstars have different fates Harrand 2026 have a chance!
Compared with Haaland, among the other weak superstars, some people can only look at the present, and they can't imagine that it will be 4 years later. There are others who have a similar fate to Harland.
In the final of the European Zone play-off at the World Cup in Qatar in June this year, Wales eliminated Ukraine 1-0 at home and qualified for the World Cup for the second time in 64 years.
The former Real Madrid superstar Bale who made the opponent Oolong Ball has become a well-deserved hero of Wales, the veteran who was second only to Messi and C Ronaldo in previous years, who has never participated in the World Cup before, and finally ushered in the "dream trip" at the age of 33, which is also likely to be his only World Cup.
Bale leads Wales to the Qatar World Cup
Playing for Real Madrid star Alaba is Austria. Austria was also a powerhouse in the World Cup, having reached the World Cup finals seven times.
But since 1998, they have disappeared from the history of the World Cup. The main reason for the disappearance is that the strength is not good. In the 2002 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers European Zone Play-offs, Austria played against Turkey, which was cut 0–7 by Turkey over two legs. Austria may have been frightened and has been devastated ever since.
Austrian captain Alaba is in a similar situation to Harland
As the captain of Austria, Alaba is eager to use his strength to help his country's team regain its former glory, but the reality is still very cruel. In Qatar's World Cup qualifiers, Austria ranked fourth with 16 points from 5 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats, and Alaba, like Haaland, also lost World Cup tickets.
Another weak team superstar is "Egyptian Pharaoh" Salah. Although he has tasted the taste of the 2018 World Cup, 2022 is another year of the lone star of the murderer.
In the African Cup final at the beginning of the year, Egypt lost to Senegal on penalties, and Salah won the second place in the African Cup; In the final round of the Premier League in May, Manchester City won the championship after falling behind by 2 goals, and Salah followed Liverpool to the second place; In the Champions League final, Liverpool, who shouted for revenge on Real Madrid, lost to Real Madrid 0-1, and Salah was once again runner-up.
In the World Cup qualifiers, Egypt survived to the last moments and competed with Senegal for a place in the qualification. However, under the "greeting" of Senegalese fans laser pointer, Egypt's first three penalties were all lost, giving up the right to qualify. Salah, who was the first to go to the penalty spot, failed to withstand the pressure and kicked the penalty away, laying the foundation for Egypt's defeat in advance.
Salah kicked Egypt with a kick and flew the World Cup tickets
Haaland is only 22 years old this year, and the 2026 World Cup is expected to expand to 48 teams four years later. Haaland, who is at the peak of his career, may be able to realize his dream of participating in the World Cup. After all, the overall level of European football is still higher than that of other continents, and Norway has a good chance of winning against teams from other continents, even if they can't get tickets directly.
It would be even more wonderful if Haaland can win the Champions League by 2026 and become the world's footballer of the Year, leading Norway to the World Cup.
