![]() ![]() ![]() Leandro Bonfim: It’s never usually a good sign when their CV features 14 clubs in 14 years, or when the Dutch version of Vice Sports publish an article titled ‘Why Brazilian super talent Leandro completely failed at PSV’. We’re only here for the ‘who the f*cking hell are you?’ selections – of which there are many. We’re not interested in any of those, though. The likes of Andres Iniesta, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Kaka all featured and went on to justify the hype with trophy-laden careers, while players such as Andres D’Alessandro, Joaquin and Gareth Barry also enjoyed hugely respectable careers too.īut then there’s those such as Michael Chopra, Florent Sinama-Pongolle, Anthony Le Tallec and Jermaine Pennant, who all played in the top flight but weren’t quite Iniesta or Zlatan. The Spanish outlet published a list of their top 100 young players in world football and, to be fair, they can’t feel quite smug about some of their selections. We can only admire Don Balon for trying to predict 100 future stars back in 2001 – but it’s safe to say quite a few didn’t turn out as expected.
