I know it’s more of a gaming question than a football question. I have recently started playing football games again and there are those young players with the comment „has potential to be special“ or „an interesting prospect“.
Especially those that aren’t stars already like Musiala, Haaland or Pedri.
Players like currently Arda Güler, Gavi, Antonio Nusa, Ansu Fati or Youssoufa Moukoko.
The question/discussion I wanted to spark is which of those players that you remember from the past didn’t actually become stars/good players, or even, which players rated very low by the games in their early careers did become actually good players.
Maxi Lopez looked like he was going to be a star after playing for River plate first team at 17, and had a breakout under 17 tournament with Argentina.
Barcelona paid good money for him, and he was never meant to be a star. Still solid career, but nothing like some people projected.
didn’t he have a bad relationship with icardi
Quite the opposite at first, they were friends while they played in the same team. Then López decided to have an affair and his wife paid him fucking a younger and more talented player, Icardi.
