Eighteen years ago in the summer, four of the most talented players of the French "1987 generation", Benzema, Nasri, Mene and Ben Alfa, under the leadership of coach Bergero, defeated Spain with Fabregas and Pique to win the European Youth Championship.

Four talented youngsters of the same age are known as the "Four Little Swans" of the French team and are hailed as the future leaders of French football.

18 years later, at the Chatelet Theater in Paris, France, the 34-year-old Benzema won the 2022 Ballon d'Or with an absolute advantage, becoming the second oldest Golden Globe winner in history!

But what is embarrassing is that Nasri, Mene and Ben Alpha, who were once on a par with Benzema, have not reached their due heights due to various reasons such as personality, drug addiction, injuries and other reasons, especially Ben Alpha is the most regrettable.

Ben Alpha: The unruly king of Europe

When he was an apprentice at the Lyon academy, many youth coaches believed that Ben Alpha was more talented and capable than Benzema, and his personal skills were among the best among his peers. But because of his unruly personality, Ben Alpha has been swept away again and again.

At Lyon, Ben Alpha and Benzema's frontcourt duo made a big deal on the field.

In the 2007/08 season, the 20-year-old Ben Alpha beat teammate Benzema to win the title of Ligue 1 Player of the Year.

However, he did not rebel, clashed with his teammates in training, had conflicts with head coach Houllier, and threatened to strike and would not play for Lyon.

The club and fans lost confidence in him and even sold him to rivals Marseille.

In Marseille, he still went his own way, and had conflicts with the boss Cisse and the manager De, and finally the intolerable Marseille sent him to Newcastle.

During his time at Newcastle, Ben Alpha showed great dribbling and dribbling ability, and his solo goal against Bolton is still talked about by fans today.

Back in Ligue 1 Nice, Ben Alpha averaged 4.5 dribbles per game and a dribbling success rate of 62%.

Not only did he achieve his goal of returning to the national team, but he was also crowned the European dribbling king with 154 successful dribbles.

Then he was at Paris Saint-Germain and Rennes, occasionally shining but overall mediocre.

Until the end of his contract with Lille, Ben Alfa, who was seen as a cancer in the dressing room, no other team was willing to accept him.

Nasri: Zidane's successor

Nasri, who came from the Marseille academy, was awarded the number 10 shirt as soon as he was promoted to the first team.

In 2010, Nasri was awarded the French Footballer of the Year with 995 points, and is regarded by the French football community as the successor of superstar Zidane.

Nasri's performances during his time at Arsenal and Manchester City were remarkable, but his overly eccentric and withdrawn personality pushed him against everyone.

When he first arrived at Arsenal, he considered himself the top card in France, and his overly ego personality did not take anyone seriously.

When he played for Arsenal and later Manchester City, as long as the manager did not put him at the core, he would be at odds with the manager and antagonize the team.

In addition to his own extreme personality, Nasri was suspected of drug involvement by UEFA when he was playing for Manchester City, and although the investigation was later a misshooting, it was devastating to his career.

Although Argentina's coach Sampaoli still maintained confidence in him and made him the core of Sevilla's team, his indiscipline led to serious loss of shape and his form plummeted.

Finally, in the summer of 2021, I chose to hang up my boots and start living as an ordinary person.

Mene: A genius ruined by injuries

Mene has shown far more football talent since he was a child, and he has always been the brightest player on the pitch in the youth team.

He scored a hat-trick at the age of 17, becoming the youngest hat-trick finisher in Ligue 1 history.

At Monaco, at just 18 years old, Mene was already the first player in the "Four Little Swans" to occupy the club's starting position.

With his speedy speed and delicate foot skills, he is often a sharp weapon for teams to tear through opponents' defenses, setting several Ligue 1 young player records.

However, the young Mene suffered injuries due to too many competitions, and in his first season in Monaco, Mene missed many games due to injury.

Subsequently, at Roma, he became the new favorite of Roma fans, and he was very good at full-back and even improved his defensive ability. Roma manager Ranieri compared Mene to a diamond.

Unfortunately, the shadow of injury has been with his career, although he was not absolutely central due to injuries and other factors during his time at Paris Saint-Germain, but he contributed 8 goals and 9 assists in all competitions, helping Paris win the Ligue 1 title again after many years.

When the 27-year-old soared once again with hopes of leading Milan to a renaissance, he was devastated by injury.

The injury directly destroyed Mene's career, and the swan with broken wings failed to soar again.
