In every World Cup, in addition to watching who will eventually fall in the Hercules Cup, OPE Sports will also be the focus of fans' attention.
is coming to the World Cup, and the captain and chief shooter of the England national team Kane is generally regarded as the biggest favorite in the Golden Boot Awards, while the French striker Mbappe is regarded as his biggest challenger. Others ranked at the top are Argentine star Messi and Brazilian team leader Neymar.
Kane was the winner of the Golden Boot Award in the last World Cup. If he can defend his title this year, he will create history and become the first Golden Boot player in the history of the World Cup.
In fact, when Kane wore the World Cup Golden Boots as the youngest captain four years ago, he was also ridiculed as one of the most "water" Golden Boot Award winners in the World Cup, because half of the six goals he scored were free throws, and five of them were scored in the group stage against a bottom team like Tunisia and Panama.
Kane's current national team scores 51 goals, and scoring three more goals will surpass Rooney and become the best scorer in England's history.
England has good luck in this World Cup and should be able to at least advance to the rematch. Kane has also performed quite well in the Premier League this season. He has scored 13 goals so far. He only ranked after Haaland, the Norwegian scorer who did not participate in this World Cup in the Premier League, and it is not impossible to achieve the Golden Boot.
Mbappe emerged in the 2018 World Cup. After scoring a group match against Peru, he became the youngest player in France to score in the World Cup at the age of 19. Afterwards, he scored twice in the top 16 match against Argentina and was selected as the best player of the game. He did not "stop" in the finals. After breaking the Croatian robe in the 65th minute, he became the second youngest player to score in the World Cup final after the football king Pele.
is different from some young players who have just made a short-lived appearance in the World Cup. Mbappe did not disappoint. After officially joining Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the World Cup, he has contributed at least 30 goals to the team each season. He has scored 19 goals less than half of this season and is currently leading the Ligue 1 scoring list.
For many people, Mbappe represents the future of football, and in today's football world, it seems that he is the only young player who can compare with world-class shooting feet such as Messi, Neymar and Ronaldo.
Mbappe won the World Cup championship at the age of 19, realizing a wish that many big-name stars will never realize in their lifetime. He is only 23 years old now, but at least two or three more World Cups, I believe that the Golden Boot Award will be his favorite sooner or later.
Although Messi should be more eager to lead Argentina to win the World Cup than to win the Golden Boot Award, if he can contribute more goals to the team, it will definitely be of great help to Argentina in the championship.
Messi, 35, has announced earlier that Qatar will be his last World Cup, so there is no doubt that he will use all his strength to complete the "last dance" of this World Cup as perfect as possible.
Messi left Barcelona, who had played for 21 years last season and joined Paris Saint-Germain. He seemed out of place at first, but this season he has clearly integrated into the team, scoring 12 goals 19 appearances, surpassing the total goal scores last season.
In the national team, his influence is more obvious. He is the most critical factor in the Pampas Eagles' ability to beat Brazil to win the championship in the Americas Cup last year. In this World Cup peripheral match, he scored seven goals, and in three friendly matches this year he swept nine goals, which can be said to be the best way to welcome the World Cup.
Argentina's first opponent in Qatar is Saudi Arabia, who was scored five goals by Russia in the prelude to the last World Cup, which is undoubtedly a great opportunity for Messi to accumulate goals.
Brazilian striker Neymar is the third Paris Saint-Germain player to be regarded as the Golden Boot Hot.
In the 2014 World Cup, Samba's army was so reliant on Neymar that he completely collapsed when he was injured in the rematch and could not continue the game. He lost 1-7 to Germany in the semi-finals, writing about the team's most shameful defeat in World Cup history.
In the last World Cup in Russia, Neymar scored only two goals, and Brazil also stopped in the rematch. However, under the continued leadership of Tite, Brazil has gradually returned to its peak and is now heading to Qatar as the world's number one.
Nemar himself is in good shape. He has scored 11 goals and nine assists in the league this season, making him the player with the largest number of goals among the top five European leagues.
Like Kane, Neymar now only needs to score three more goals to become the national team's historical goalkeeper. Brazil is the number one favorite team to win this World Cup, so Neymar is definitely a strong contender for the Golden Boot Award.
