The players to watch at the World Cup in Qatar 2022
Lionel Messi (Argentina)
Regarded as one of the best soccer players in history, Lionel Messi will play this year as Argentine captain in what will be his fifth World Cup. After having walked his magic through the world championship in Germany 2006, South Africa 2010, Brazil 2014 and Russia 2018, the idol of an entire generation will try to achieve the title of balloon champion in this edition.
Current winner of the Ballon d'Or and the Copa América 2021, "the flea" comes with high spirits, with a more than capable team and with a single goal: make the Albiceleste take the trophy from Qatar 2022 in what may be one of his last appearances in the competition.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)
Another world star and another of those historic players who can hang up their boots in this year's World Cup is Cristiano Ronaldo.. The Portuguese lands in the Middle East with a team that managed to surprisingly defeat North macedonia (2-0) in one of the UEFA play-off finals. A classification by the playoff route that has placed Portugal as one of the promising countries this edition.
Further, having one of the best players in the world is no small feat. Along the history, the Portuguese team had qualified for the World Cup three times, since the arrival of the one from Funchal he has achieved it five. Full for Ronaldo, that since his first participation he has not stopped playing every four years: 2006, 2010, 2014 Y 2018. Como Messi, will enter the list players who have played in five world cups.
Kylian Mbappe (France)
For some time now, both of these have been the main focus of attention in this competition.. But nevertheless, this year there is a new player who will be in the spotlight as one of the possible protagonists of the world edition held in the Middle East: Mbappé.
The Frenchman defends the title won in 2018 after defeating by 4-2 against Croatia in the final played in Moscow. In that contest he definitively consolidated himself as a world star at the 23 years, now it will bear the task and responsibility of sustaining that denomination.
Vinicius Jr (Brazil)
If this list had been made last year, it would seem incredible that Vinicius Jr could be among the 10 best players in a World Cup, but the season he has had in the local championship is more than outstanding.
It is true that in past experiences with the Canarinha, the one from Madrid has not stood out. But nevertheless, there are many who assure that this "Vini" is another, showing tremendous potential on the green. So all eyes will be on the extreme left of the selection par excellence of this championship.
Neymar (Brazil)
how not, we had to continue along the path of Brazil, greatest winners in history (5 World Cups), naming Neymar.
The striker was presented in the professional football scene as one of the future heirs of Messi or Cristiano and, despite the fact that today he has shown more irregularity than constancy, he is trusted as captain of what could be the definitive selection, the one that granted that six-time championship after exactly 20 years without lifting the fetish Cup of the country.
Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium)
He was trained in 2014, matured in the 2018 and promises to consolidate itself in the 2022. The midfielder of 30 years, Kevin De Bruyne, aims to be one of the great figures of this World Cup in Qatar. your talent, speed and resolution have placed it as a reference not only within this competition, but of an entire generation of offensive play with that of the Red Devils.
23 goals and 45 assists in 88 matches, what will this november bring us?
Sadio Mané (Senegal)
They didn't make things easy for him, but when something is for you it finds you. He fought hard to become a footballer and after leading the team that won the first African Cup for his country, Sadio Mané takes off from Senegal wanting more. At Liverpool is considered one of the most unbalanced players thanks to his potential, hand-to-hand talent and play reading. It only remains to demonstrate it in one more banner, in the world cup. Although seeing his level in the playoff with Egypt, we just have to sit down and enjoy.
Robert Lewandowski (Poland)
In the striker's manual: Robert Lewandowski's face. Control, definition, intuition, resolution... and most importantly, goal.
Wearing the t-shirt red and white, Lewandowski has done everything. Of everything, least see the door in a World Cup. It might seem unlikely watching him play, but it makes sense knowing that he has only been able to play a single edition of this championship, Russia's 2018. That year the team did not pass the first round, but in this there is an outstanding debt.
By the time the World Cup in Qatar kicks off, Robert will already have 34 years, so this could be the last bullet for the Pole to get even and perhaps write down this title in his record. And you can also do it like Barça player.
Harry Kane (England)
Less than 5 goals from distance with the all-time top scorer for the Three Lions make Harry Kane a killer. A machine with a thirst for goals. And not just to reach his personal goal of overtaking Wayne Rooney. (53 goals with the English National Team), but to satisfy the fiascos of the last two great dates in which he was close to glory and ended up with honey on his lips: the world of 2018, where they were in fourth place, and the European Championship 2020, where they had to settle for the silver medal.
The World Cup in Qatar 2022 It may be the opportunity to redeem himself and get out of that "man of the goal" with whom he is known in the Tottenham.
Pedro Gonzalez (Spain)
If there is a Spaniard capable of defending the title of being one of the best and most watched of his team in this World Cup in Qatar 2022 that's Pedro. Considered one of the footballers with the greatest projection, as determined by the "Golden Boy” who received the past 2021, González could represent the generational change that the national team had been waiting for for years. A renewed figure in the midfield that brings fresh air and resurrects the tiki-taka of that team of 2010. The new Andres Iniesta? We will have to be vigilant.
