A while back I did a post on the top ten talent to watch out for in the world cup, now I’m here to do a follow up story on their time in the Russia 2018 World Cup. We at 3! Football would Give our Verdict on each player and their Performance at the just concluded World Cup.
1. KYLIAN MBAPPE
The 19 year old France sensation Kylian Mbappe enjoyed a successful spell at the Russia 2018 World Cup.
Mbappe scored 4 goals in the world cup, his first goal came in a 1-0 win over Peru, which made him France youngest goal scorer in history in a world cup tournament. He scored twice in the round of 16 match against Argentina and was also named the man of the match in the match.
His last goal of the tournament came in the final of the world cup from 25 yard in a 4-2 victory over Croatia. He also went on to win the best young player of the Russia 2018 world cup and also lifted the world cup in his first appearance in the world cup.
Final Verdict: SUPERB!!!. If he keeps up with this pace then we have a Successor to the Ronaldo/Messi Dynasty.
2. GABRIEL JESUS
With his superb finishing skills and versatility up front, Gabriel Fernando de Jesus has become one of Brazil’s biggest breakout stars of recent years.
He started in all of Brazil 5 matches in Russia World Cup but failed to score a goal, he made one assist for Brazil. He made 10 attempt, 1 on target, 5 off target, 4 blocked and made a total of 92 passes in the tournament. But because of his lack of goals in world cup his time in the tournament wasn’t a successful one.
Final Verdict: A Fine player but poor Record at The WC as a Striker......POOR!!!
3. GOIVANI LO’CELSO
The 22 year old sensation plays for Paris Saint-Germain, is a talented attacking midfielder with great vision to set up a striker, but he wasn’t given the opportunity to wow the fans at the 2018 Russia World Cup as he did not play a single match in the tournament.
Final Verdict: AVERAGE!!!!
4. TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD
The 19 year old full-back plays for Liverpool, with a number of good performances he was able to chase Nathaniel Clyne out of the position and he was also able to chase Clyne out of the England squad, but he only made one appearance in the World cup.
