In 2015, the then Barcelona star Lionel Messi selected 10 young football players and in the future she tipped them for star.
Imagine being one of the chosen; You started building your reputation as a player to watch and suddenly one of the best ever to have played the game, you mentioned in shipments. The spotlights would break as much as it encouraged.
We have investigated how those 10 players did it in the years since the approval of Messi.
After Kenedy played for Fluminense in Brazil, Chelsea won the race for his signature in a £ 6.3 million deal in the summer of 2015.
The winger showed a glimpse of his talent and made 20 performances in all competitions during a promising debut season in Stamford Bridge.
But since then he has become one of their multi -year loins, spending time in Watford, Newcastle United, Getafe and Granada.
The Brazilian signed a new contract with Chelsea in 2021 before returning to his home country to represent Flamengo for a seasonal loan agreement, but was recalled by Chelsea in January 2022 while struggling for coverage at Wing-Back.
Six months later he left Stamford Bridge and signed for Real Valladolid permanent. He remains in Spain to this day.
Cornet refused to sign a new contract with his boy's club Metz and joined Lyon in January 2015, shortly before he was selected by Messi.
He made more than 250 performances for the club and was an important part of the side that reached the semi -final of the Champions League in 2020.
After five and a half years in the Groupama Stadium, the Ivory Coast International opted for a new challenge and completed a £ 12.9 million move to Burnley in 2021.
While Burnley passed a difficult season from 2021-22, Cornet was their striking player and scored nine Premier League objectives.
West Ham won the race for his signature, but made almost no impact on the hammers and is now on loan at Genoa.
A product from Chelsea Academy, Boga was tipped for a bright future at Stamford Bridge, but only made one 18 minutes perform for the first team.
He was mentioned in the starting XL in August 2017 for their Premier League match against Burnley, to be withdrawn after the early resignation of Gary Cahill.
After having spent the rest of that season on loan in Birmingham City, the Ivory Coast International successfully enjoyed Series A with Sassuolo and Atalanta.
He now plays for Nice in France.
Wilson came through the Academy in Manchester United and enjoyed a dream debut and scored a brace against Hull City in May 2014.
But he was unable to build on that promising start and scored only two goals for the club before he was released at the end of the 2018-19 season.
The 29-year-old had spells in Aberdeen, Salford City and Port Vale before he signed for his current Club Northampton Town.
How cruel is below you can suggest that Werner should spend the next 12 months picking up a banjo and learning how to get a cow-ass.
But every player with his scoring record in the Bundesliga must do something good at some point.
Werner scored 95 goals for RB Leipzig in four seasons and played his way to the Germany team before he earned a relocation of £ 47.5 million to Chelsea in 2020.
He found it more difficult in England and scored only 23 goals in 87 performances for Chelsea. But Werner did little better when returning to Leipzig and spent the past year very ineffective for Tottenham.
Zardes appeared on Messi's radar after his 16 goals La Galaxy helped to win the MLS Cup 2014 and earned him an international call-up from the US.
The striker could not realize this first promise until he was transferred to Columbus Crew in 2018.
He was named the MLS Comeback Player of the Year Award after scoring 19 goals and led the team to the MLS Cup in 2020.
Zardes spent short spells with Colorado Rapids and Austin Fire, but is not connected now.
One of the more obscure inclusions on the shortlist of Messi, Bentivegna was a young attacker in Palermo in 2015, but never broke through in the Silician Club.
After a number of loan agreements, the most productive in Carraresis, he made the permanent switch to the C -side series in 2018.
He is currently playing for series B Club Pescara. His two performances for Italy under the 20th of Italy feel a long time ago.
Miranchuk is currently playing a smart and subtle attacking midfielder for MLS side Atalanta United.
He spent considerable time in the Serie A in the decade since the prediction of Messi, both for Atalanta and Torino.
Miranchuk also played in all three Russian matches at Euro 2020 and scored the winning goal against Finland in the group phase.
Lopes was in the books of Manchester City when Messi made his announcement and was promoted to the team of the first team by Manuel Pellegrini for the 2014-15 season.
But the attacking midfielder never obtained the figure in City and was sold to Monaco for £ 9 million in 2015.
He found Ligue 1 more to his liking and, after having impressed an 18-month loan in Lille, was recalled by Monaco and scored 17 goals during the 2017-18 season.
Sevilla was taken by Lopes and signed him in 2019, but, but his experience in the city was reflected, he was explained – first of all to Nice, then Olympiacos and Troyes.
After he was sold to Braga, Lopes spent an ineffective year in Portugal before he came to Turkish Super Lig -Outfit Alanyaspor last summer.
Lopes was also included in the provisional 35-man team of Portugal for the World Cup 2018, but did not make the last cut.
Another more unknown name, but Shelton was generally selected by New York City FC in the MLS Superdraft 2015 and built something of a reputation in the middle of the 2015.
However, it has never been completely worked out for the attacker; He failed to make a big impression for New York and was sold to Sporting Kansas City in 2017.
He will stay at the club today, although Shelton spent the majority of 2019 with 2. Bundesliga Side SCE Paderborn 07 before he returns to the MLS outfit again in 2020.
