World Cup stars extinguished .. 7 "giants" presented a disastrous tournament
The World Cup is a "golden" opportunity for young players to show their abilities to millions, and for veteran players to increase their international balance and raise their status in the world of football, but the 2022 World Cup showed a "catastrophic" side for the world's biggest stars.
During the World Cup, a large number of prominent world stars failed to appear similar to their appearance with their international clubs, which put a big question mark on their position in the world of football, and drew a black point in their "golden" record.
Kevin De Bruyne
One of the most prominent players who appeared disastrously during the World Cup was the star of Manchester City and the Belgium national team, Kevin De Bruyne. De Bruyne appeared very modestly with Belgium, showing fatigue and sometimes "indifference", which accelerated the world's second-ranked team's exit from the first round.
Gareth Bale
The star of the first Wales national team, failed the international test, appeared disastrously, and was unable to run or make any additions, so his country bid farewell to the World Cup early.
Darwin Nunez
Darwin Nunez's "wobbly" situation continues, this time with the Uruguay national team, where he appeared "miserably" in the blue shirt, with the same lackluster appearance with Liverpool throughout the season.
Lautaro Martinez
Argentina's top scorer was the number 9 approved in the squad, but his appearance was very poor during the tournament matches, prompting coach Lionel Scaloni to replace him with young Manchester City star Julian Alvarez, who appeared much better. Even when he entered the reserve against Australia, he missed 3 clear chances in front of the goal, put his team in trouble, and brought back memories of the “untouchable” Gonzalo Higuain in the 2014 World Cup.
The first South Korean star, he was only present with a face mask, while he seemed lost during his country's national team matches, and failed to score any goal. Even other players in the Korean national team overshadowed it with their level, including Hee Chan Hwang and Gui Sung Cho.
The Portuguese star scored one goal from a dubious penalty kick, then disappeared in the World Cup, until he was replaced by young Gwancalo Ramos in the last match, and the latter scored a "hat-trick" and grabbed the spotlight. Ronaldo is living his worst footballing years, and this matter did not improve in the World Cup, so that the fans began to wonder if Ronaldo, the "killer" scorer, was finished.
Romelu Lukaku
Belgium's top scorer was the main reason for its exclusion, after he missed a series of easy opportunities in the last match against Croatia, and appeared in a "disastrous" manner during the World Cup.
