Welcome back to suay vies one and all It's me it's Mikey and it's a strange Man on the end today Last James Wayne I would say Sunday Vibes wise it was back in the old old Pub Uh crap Pub yeah that one uh and Actually no there was there was there Was a very vague appearance when we all Say goodbye to the pub but that doesn't Count the last time was before so I want To say 2018 maybe wow if you remember G Ass crack Pub uh please do let us know In the comments below uh Mikey looking Very smart today mate thank you mate Cheers yeah yeah I like the shirt on you Thank you thank you um my mate lent it To me for Sky Sports News appearances Back in the summer I've not given it Back to him um so yeah but good to have James back also you're you can tell you You've become a more refined man since The last time you were on Sunday Vibes By the way that you hold your mic hold a Wine Glass like a man with a pipe right let's Start talking about football shall we Boys because as you can see from today's Video we are going to be looking at some Of the best Wonder Kids in Europe this Season now wonder kids obviously a very Loose term in the world of football yeah We've termed this as Teenagers okay so you can't be 20 you Can't be 21 so you know there's some big

Shouts in there that aren't going to be Included the likes of floran vers the Likes of msala the likes of Jude Bellingham chavy Simmons we're fully Aware these are Wonder kids but by our Term teenagers won't be featuring in This so what we're going to do is we Each going to present five names to the Table and at the end of this video we've Got to come up with a collaborative Order on the five who are the definitive Five best w kids this season in European Football uh who wants to go first with Their first suggestion I'm I'm happy to Go first um I think I'll probably start Big um so we all picked out five they're Not necessarily our five best we we we Picked at kind of you know we picked 15 And split it we kind of went for the Ones that we were most interested Individually in um and yeah like Joe Says we'll rank them but it was Interesting though like you know at the Start of the process because we were Originally going to include 20y olds and Then realized that there there are just So many who were getting significant Game time in Europe and I wonder whether Know it feels like there's more young Players getting significant game time in The top leagues than there were maybe Four or five years ago um I wonder Whether that has to with the kind of Transfer market the kind of economic

Downturn in kind of European football Outside of the Premier League you know Clubs having to sign players younger and Cheaper and having to rely you know Quick more quickly on on on Academy Products but um i' agress because we We're going to start with a player at a Club who have never been shy of of Giving significant minutes to Academy Products um from a young age and it's Benfica and it's xual Nez um who has Been absolutely remarkable this season Um you know in terms of his recent History you go back a year ago to when Enzo Fernandez left Chelsea and that Opened the door for him to enter that Benfica Midfield um I think he got his Debut just before the January window Just after the World Cup in 2022 um and he'd already made waves of Course in the youth team he'd um helped Them to the UEFA youth league in 2022 That was that's the only time that Benica have ever won it um he also uh Won goal of the tournaments at the under 21 Euros last summer uh with a great Volley against Belgium um and yeah got Six starts last year under rer Schmidt He's now uh got 21 appearances to his Name this season um almost all of them Starts um he's yeah just been yeah an Absolute Bedrock of that side this Season and I know Benfica are um you Know they're not pulling up trees and

Quite the same way as they were under Schmid last year um but given the amount Of talent that left them that's that's First of all understandable but secondly He's keeping someone like Florentino Louise although he has got into the side A bit more recently as it's partnered Him but especially in the first half of The Season he was keeping Florentino Lise out the side and that was a player Who you know has been tipped for a big Move for a long long links to Liverpool One of the most highly rated kind of Under 25 defensive midfielders in Europe Who is still putting up crazy defensive Numbers this season and was a big part Of their Champions League quarterfinal Side last year um and yet yeah his game Time has taken a big hit someone like or Coru who was brought in and was kind of Seen as that Enzo Fernandez replacement Also hasn't had maybe the As Much Game Time as we would have thought because Joel NZ is the first choice in that Midfield at 19 years of age and he Absolutely backs it up um I mean he Ranks third in the league for both Touches and passes into the final third But he also ranked second for tackles One so he's kind of got everything that You you need to succeed as a top level Defensive midfielder um he ranks Consistently in the top 10% of Midfielders in a number of metrics kind

Of both offensively and defensively um Among leagues outside of the top five in Europe um so he's already playing a very High level man united are supposedly Interested in him or at least were Interested in him before the January Window of course man United's kind of uh Targets the transfer market will will Probably change now under the new Ownership um but Bayern Munich were're Also supposedly interested wolves were Supposedly interested last summer as Early as that and that triggered Benfica To reportedly raise his um release Clause to1 million Euros so lot of money That is a lot of money course it's a lot Of money and is he worth it we probably Don't know yet we probably don't know Yet you know was Enzo Fernandez worth That amount of money you know probably Not like will he prove to be a really Good player at Chelsea he may well he May well do I know he's got a lot of Stick at this season but um yeah it's It's hard to tell isn't it but it it Follows you know a very um you know well Trodden pattern with with Benfica in Terms of their ability to sell for huge Huge fees um to to clubs in in bigger Leagues so I wouldn't be overly Surprised if neas ends up moving for a Huge fee but this summer I don't quite Know it's it's not quite like Enzo where You know he had Amazing World Cup or or

Darwin Nunes who's like a forward and Center forwards were like really hard to Come by back then whereas I feel like The the defensive midfielder Market is Is you know probably not quite as Congested um right now so I could see Nez probably staying at Benfica for Another year or two and then fetching a Big fee um it feels like yeah maybe it Would require them to go deep in the Champions League again or you for for Him to you know um you know do something On the international stage with Portugal In the senior side which is imp Possibility by the way Portugal have a Really really impressive side going into The Euros I is going to break into it not a Guarantee but if but if he did and they Went deep and did something special then I don't think it's an impossibility the Issue I think is at 19 playing in a Defensive Midfield role in one of the Top leagues like maybe the Premier League does he have the physicality to Come in and make an impact in in that Position I'm not saying that's all you Rely on in that role but I think it's a Big ask when you're you're spending 100 Million on somebody I think you have to Be quite a complete package and I think J maybe it is a year too early amazinger He he also does have quite a lot of Freedom like you do see him kind of

Popping up on the right wing and stuff And like he is quite although his Dribble numbers aren't actually amazing Like he is capable of that he does have Good technique out there so so yeah I Feel like he still needs to hone his Skills and maybe even become more of a Specialist to be honest um but yeah Nevertheless a really exciting time yeah Very big shout uh my first one I think Is a nailed on for our final five at the The end um has to be in there for me Warren Z Emer yeah uh who has just been A revelation for PSG this season really Obviously made his full France debut This year as well or in 2023 so this Season and what he's added to that PSG Midfield with the exits of players like Marco veratti I don't think can be Undersold like he plays like a 26 27 Year old he's still only 17 this is a Player who you know we talk about Joel NZ doing bits in the UF Youth League I Think at 14 was playing in the under 19 Side PSG I think he was actually Promoted to the PSG first team by poch So the fact that you know we were Der yeah we like he's openly been dered Poino is having a terrible time at PSG Maybe the kind of last Shining Light his Sort of Legacy might be Warren zy Getting promoted to to the first team Because you know what LS Enrique has Been able to get out him this season is

Nothing short from markco I think he Started all but three competitive games For PSG and that was down to an injury He's exceptional offensively but also Defensively I think we've seen that in The Champions League in particular where He's bail PSG out a number of times he's Won a Champions League man of the match That might have been way actually at the Sanero don't quote me on that I can't Remember which game it was in now uh but He is just the complete midfielder like His size his physicality his calmness on The ball his passing range coupled with You know defensive now And intelligence at 17 like I haven't Seen a midfielder do it for for an Awfully long time um probably like Gaby Maybe the last one to do that like pedri That sort of level you know Jude Bellingham we're talking about that Level of player who are all now you know I think what's pedri 21 now bellingham's 20 so he's three years on these players We're going to discuss gavy in a little Bit as well um but this season in terms Of breakout teenagers I think Warren Z Emy has he almost takes the biscuit for Me like he's just incredible he's come Through a convenient time as well cuz Obviously PSG have moved away from the Kind of big signings big players and It's it's just one of the ones where It's it's nice to see that they're

Implementing their youth properly Because we've seen countless PSG Prospects go away you know one a million Really isn't he I say Kim Kim pmbe is The only player I can really think of That's come through the academy and Actually plays for PSG stuck about so It's a nice you know they've got their Kind of Shining Light when they're Shifting the whole club's ethos really Yeah yeah and I mean French going to the Euros again I think he probably will Make the squad um obviously was you know You could look at that Squad that he was Called up to and say true many he wasn't Part of it he was injured was that a Reflection on the fact that Z Emy got Caught up because of that I think he'll Get caught up despite that even Alongside the likes of CH many I think He's got to go to the Euros uh I don't Necessarily think he'd be a starter no Because you know des's I think he values The experienced players in that Midfield Role that's why we've seen Chu many take A wild to break in but now that Chu Many's in there I think it would take a Couple of injuries for zy to at least Become a starter but I think he's Definitely going to go to the EUR as a Squad player and at 17 in the deepest Squad of any European nation I think That's you know it's pretty bloody mad There's not many 17-year- old French

Players breaking in yeah no and and and May well be a Euros winner by by the Midd of the summer that be England I'm Calling it though England France far I Reckon um but um first big prediction Out there uh yeah so I'll stick with Your midfields uh Arthur verir a player That many may not have heard of um Admittedly I hadn't you know until I Found out his move to atleti uh this Gone transfer window Yeah so basically He's he's coming through he's kind of The next player off the Belgian conveyor Belt of just unbelievable technical Ability um you know when you look on his FB ref it's like a vegetarian's dream Like everything's just green it's Ridiculous like He's the the ability like if I was a if I was a football player I'm awful Actually playing football but the way I Would like to play football is exactly How he plays football the ability to get In between the opposition and man to Make the tackle his just that simple Ability is I've never seen it before in A football player it's very very unique In the fact that if you have a mildly Bad Touch he's in between you and the Ball and defensive meld defensive Midfielder he's not very tall he's 5'9 You know his aerial numbers kind of Represent that he not very good in terms Of the physical Battle of a defensive

Midfielder but in terms of what he gives You in terms of progressive numbers Carrying passing he often you know he Goes for the pass more than the carry But pulls it off amazingly well um it's Just another player that you can just See similarly to um um Z emry going into The Belgian Euros as A I would like to see him start because I've seen lots of good from him um but I Don't think he's quite got the Rapport Yet to actually start for Belgium but For ANP he was incredible when he joined They hadn't um won the league in what 66 Years and he helped them win that and a Cup double uh as I said moved on to Athleti this summer but in the previous Half seon has been phenomenal for ANP Again champ I League their first time in God knows how long um fair enough they Lost all but one game but in that one Game they won was against Barcelona he Was man of the match and got a goal um So he's really put himself on the map Got his move I don't think we'll see Much of him this season because Obviously you've got time with him you Know the qualities there takes a while To slowly but I mean when it comes to Defensive midfielders atleti have a Great reputation of bringing or at least Find finding the next best um so it's Really promising that he's moved to Atleo club that should really kind of

You know embody what he's good at I'm Really excited because there there's not Many defensive midfielders of his size Pulling out the numbers that he is so He's a player that just uses pure Footballing knowledge and ability and Kind of maturity at a very young age to Overcome his weakness which is the Physicality so for me it's a yeah I Really really appreciate you know I can't really appreciate where he's Going to be but he's a player that I'm Very excited for because he's the kind Of player that I would like to represent You a replicate sorry if I'm playing Football very clean in the tackle as Well yeah it's I'm very excited to see Where this goes SE take note Jam wants To Join yeah can I just ruin this play but But it is but I guess like they haven't Really had I mean C's obviously been Moved to that defensive role in recent Seasons but they haven't had like a Real Top Class specialist basically Since rodri went to to Man City he's not Purely defensively Midfield though he he You know he's more of a box to box he Will push up further like his assist Numbers literally everything is is green On FB ref like you'll be amazed at the The numbers he's pulling out so yeah We'll see we'll see what SI does but to Be fair like at Lei are evolving as well

Haven't they in the last in the last Year so um so yeah and they do they just Need to rejuvenate that Squad still like Like Sone has kind of worked wonders but Yeah it's it's still a pretty old old Squad uh so that's pretty exciting Should we move on to my second one um Again I'm going to go with a big hitter This is probably someone who I I imagine Is going to make the top five as well in Fact number one I think do you think oh Do you think Go for Let Me In Your M let Me in your M Um I actually despite obviously having Seen a decent amount of him this season I didn't quite appreciate before looking At his numbers just how ridiculous this Guy is like at 16 years of age he Doesn't turn 17 until June which is Crazy broke into this Barcelona side you Know slightly as a result of you know What's happened in recent Seasons you Know that's why Gaby you know you know Got his call up so so early because you Know Barcelona having to you know were Kind of forced to use Lamazia players who probably wouldn't Break into the side until 1819 of being Called Upon A couple of years early but To be honest with Yu it kind of feels like time like I I Think yamal at this age is is looks more Impressive than Anu fatty did at 16 and Anu fatty was you know had broken into

That side at that age in 2019 that that Seemed like ridiculous physical like More physical more power in his dribble More Pace it's strange he do he he Doesn't look like when you see him run With so good manipulating his body Powerful yeah and you you you kind of Back him to just go between two Defenders and make it through which yeah Like at that age and obviously you know When you're a teenager you can kind of Wle through Players a bit but yeah Physically he he really is there um but It's more more striking for me is that You know he's playing in a Barcelona Side which at points the season has been Very dysfunctional has been you know Despite Real Madrid having all the Injuries that they've had and you know Actually in the first stage of the Season needing Bellingham to bail them Out of some yeah of some games which They could have lost or or drawn um Barcelona are so of them um despite Having made some quite significant Signings last summer you know good danan And Canelo for example um Joel Felix as Well um and yet yamal is still ranking Among the top players in La Liga for Almost every attacking metric he's fifth For passes into the penalty area let's Also remember he's made 12 starts so Half of his games have come off the Bench fifth for passes into the penalty

Area in total in the whole league third For expected assists per 90 fifth for Goal creating actions in total despite Playing you know far fewer minutes than A lot of other attackers second for goal Creating actions per 19 Nico Williams is The 8 person ahead of him seventh Progressive pass has received so he's You know he he's already incredibly well Trusted in that Bara side ninth for Carries into the penalty area seventh For successful dribbles I know that's a Lot of a lot of numbers there but it Just shows that you know like most Players most young attackers no matter How exciting they look you know he's Also you know Two-footed dribbler as well which sets Him apart and and actually probably Contributes to the point that I'm about To make most attackers at the age really Exciting to watch you know can change a Game potentially with a piece of skill Or or a wonder goal or whatever but they Often lack consistent end product and Yet linum Mal at the age of 16 has the Fireworks also so far has displayed Consistent end products like you just Don't usually get that with with young Attackers like that you look at someone Like Alejandro garnacho last year even Now um you know like still lacks Consistent end product even if he looks You know really exciting even someone

Like um yeah even someone like Anu fatti In the early days although maybe he Isn't the best example but lein Mal just Yeah for someone at that age I can't Really remember anyone at that level Probably since Messi at Barcelona and Obviously I'm not going to make that Comparison but probably at that age you Know I think Messi came into the B team When he was 16 17 and obviously Final mbapp yeah but even mbapp was yeah A bit older I guess but yeah mbappe's Final product was always was always Brilliant was always brilliant um but Yamal seems to have that both creatively And um and in a goal scoring sense uh Which makes it crazy that he's only Scored three goals and two assists got Three goals and two assists this season In the league two of those goals coming Against Granada on the weekend um so Yeah uh yeah I mean he he is just Ridiculous um and you just got to pray That he isn't overworked uh until he Gets injured cuz you know we've seen That happen with Anu fatti we've seen That happen with pedri which has been a Real shame um so it's hard to look back Yeah and Gaby as well um should I just Quickly mention Gaby I think look I Think he's worth a shout just because of His high level prior to the ACL injury Obviously I mean he probably is kind of Number one but like he's not necessar b

A break through the season and like this Season obviously this is what we're Talking about this season obviously he's Had the ACL injury in November playing For Spain hasn't featured since but Before that his level was still Extremely high we're talking about not Necessarily one of the best youngsters In in sort of Europe but one of the best Central midfielders in Europe like his Tenacity of the ball his ability on the Ball it's just a massive Miss for Barcelona with gav's absence and I feel Like a little bit it's been I don't know Whether it's been talked about enough How detrimental that's been to chavy and Barcelona's campaign losing gavy for Basically the whole season it's Basically scuppered all of their plans And at 19 you look at the amount of Minutes he played in that breakthrough And second season and you think to Yourself it was too many I think there Was a stat wasn't they he started played Something like 70 games yeah across all Competitions and that's the thing it's Not only it's not only on whoever's been In charge at Barcelona cuz I know he Came In under Ronald Kerman actually he Barely played under rald kman but that That was who was man that was who gave His debut and then and then Javi took Over um so obviously Javi has to take

You know responsibility for that but Also lisis Enrique has to take Responsibility for bringing him into the The Spain setup straight away much like He did with with pedri as well and okay Yeah pedri was a star and everything and Gab's been brilliant for Spain as well But it's like there has to be some Joined up thinking there surely when you Know you've got one of the best players That your country has produced in recent Years uh best players that your Club has Produced in recent years like there has To be some sort of safeguarding there Yeah and it's just yeah it's frightening Isn't it I mean 1100 minutes he he Played before his injury I think so like Some of the players we're going to talk About or at least on my list still in Around 1100 your your M's only just Surpassed that exactly over a long Period of time so even then you can see How many minutes and how key you know Gavy was to this chavy system um and It's not even necessarily I think about The minutes it's about what he brings to The team in terms of tone setting like His ability to get involved in battles Is half of what makes Gaby so special I Think and that does energize the team a Little bit like Leandro Martinez does For Manchester United that aggression Energizes the rest of the team and Without that I think Barcelona have

Looked a little bit nice at times Frankly this season and for Gaby at 19 That's pretty special it's a pretty Special trait and we already know about His technical ability so I don't think We should talk too much more about him But you know he's probably still got to Be mentioned as as The best if not one of the best Teenagers in World football I think he Probably is the best I mean he's the Most developed teenager in world Football isn't he so I think he I think He basically is um maybe he would lose Out just because you know we haven't you Know obviously he's been injured but um Last season was was a truly you know a Really special season for him this Season not not as much I guess yeah uh Jimbo uh sticking it in La Liga Savio headlin headlines headlines at the Moment marks headlines it's a bit of a Strange one with Savio like my general Feelings with him because obviously he's Like the poster boy for the sfg uh Project the CFG yeah CFG what did I say Sfg you're a terrible Ambassador for but But yeah it's um you know start off at TW um I think the plan was to get him on Loan get him some minutes and then bring Him back into the setup but things Aren't going great at the moment there Um obviously relegation last Season I kind of you know there's I'm

Definitely not a good Ambassador about To say but they've kind of uprooted what Was existing in TW and made a bit more CFG friendly which has kind of scuppered Their season last season and might be The reason that they actually got Relegated um but yeah they obviously saw That I thought no we can't you know put Them back into into League du or put him Into League du let's get him to Jona on Loan and it's it's been brilliant you Know in terms of of him he's been Phenomenal um was it 24 games nearly 2,000 minutes five League goals and Seven assists I believe but his just Like his one-on-one ability is crazy the Pace he has is crazy um his his Crossing Is extremely good for someone that young Usually you get these kind of explosive Powerful tricky Wing is come through a Very young age and that's all they're About they haven't got the output but His Crossing ability is perfect and Obviously we've seen links or you know 20 to 30 million uh bounded he's going To come to City at the end of the season Which is strange because his contracts Also up uh this summer so you know you Take that and run with it how you will But um strange but genuinely I can see Him being in this city Side next season On the left side um re Withu doku plays on the right naturally So Gish it's just it's going to be the

Same Forcar Bob Oscar Bob give him time give Him minutes which you know Usher them in Which is important because we've just Spoken about Gaby being run to the Ground one thing city have done really Well which is why the phone argument Really annoyed me for all these years is Is he the main man no we taking our time We're taking our care City like a few of These clubs um I'm going to mention this Later on are in a position where we can Take our time with youngsters and and See them through without kind of Overusing them um and Savio will Hopefully uh be put into that category If he do does come to city but in terms Of what he brings to a side it's yeah Any side when I first saw him um not Realizing that we're going to City Propos to buy him um I just saw him at Liverpool I thought he's like the Perfect Liverpool you know kop Winger Where you've got that kind of like he Sees his man he beats his man he gets The ball into the box as quickly as Possible whether it be him you know or Or or And yeah it's it's going to be very very Strange next season having a what 23y Old Harland duu who's you know 20 21 and Then him who's going to be 20 as a front Line and this the output's going to be Crazy um he's a very special player I

Think obviously what Jona are doing is Incredible itself and and he's the Poster boy of CFG poster boy of Jona uh The big move's coming so we're just Going to hear a lot more about him over The next few years okay s any other sus From you Mike um yes I'll should I go Should I stick with Barcelona I mean I'll I'll briefly mention him because we Obviously haven't seen loads of him at Bar obviously got that really um Unfortunate red card um Against alz One Way um yeah just R what a ridiculous um Second yell that was um obviously vitto Rock um his move to barcel was brought Forward was supposed to happen this Summer coming uh they managed to make it Work to to bring him in in January from Atletico Paran um and yeah already has Two goals in La Liga looks pretty bright 19y old no sorry turns 19 at the end of This month um scored against osasuna a Minute after coming off the bench that Was the winner in that game um the Really really good headed finish um and Yeah just seems to seems to be a pretty Well-rounded number nine VOR Rock 21 Goals last season in Brazil um he was Was the youngest player to score in the Cup for crusado before he went to Pan um Made the copad dores team of the year in 2022 um so has a ton of um pedigree Already um you know we were speaking About him even towards the end of you

Know like kind of in April May time last Year when when Barcelona were first um Looking to sign Him um and yeah you know it's it You know it can take a lot for um you Know a player to to make that transition From Brazil to Spain or to a top five League um and be at the level already But he looks he looks pretty comfortable In that barel Side you know it's very much I think the Example of Barcelona you know finally Kind of pulling their finger out in Terms Of I guess copying Real Madrid's um kind of game plan in South American Mar they did they did do with Neymar which interestingly was the Trigger for Real Madrid to to to work Harder in in that market uh but you know Neymar was 11 years ago now sign has Been killing it for Madrid yeah caat has Has in the meantime been absolutely Mopping up um but um but and I know you Know by June Vito Rock might not even You know be able to registered I think He will I think Barcelona will probably I think they probably will sell dong Like and and do whatever else in order They can't continue to pay 700 Grand Yeah and and so far they've um so far You know they've managed to make it Happen in terms of registering the Players that they want the play the new

Signings and they've you know have you Know sacked off you know current or or More established members of the squad in Order to do that um I see that very much Happening with rock because yeah like Lowski you know has shown this season That he was not a good investment at 40 45 million pound um plus the wages yeah Plus the wages even if he was you know Even if he did have a good impact last Season like yeah like Barcelona need a a Long-term Center forward and obviously Rock offers that um and yeah he he he Looks like the future of that forward Line like him yamal and then the left- Hand side I guess is you know a little Bit less sure a little bit less sure of That in the long term you know will Rafia stay there long term I'm not so Sure Um lots of question marks for Barcelona Going into this summer but I but I'm but One thing I'm pretty sure of is that That rocket will will you know be given Priority over over other over other Players yeah uh while we're talking About young Brazilians I think we should Mention endri uh here now we're talking About this season obviously Mike's Mentioned V Rock there the Brazilian Season obviously is adapted isn't it February to December so is slightly Different so I'm going to have to kind Of talk about 2023 and

Really obviously everybody knows he's Going to be joining Real Madrid in July And it's been you know hyped up to death Hasn't he and I think that is the one Thing about endri is you're clearly Seeing the emergence of maybe I don't Want to say a media darling but there There is something special about endri Isn't there you know you've already seen Him in like the you know in the designer Clubber and everyone GQ photos the Iconic photos every picture of him looks Like a picture like the' 60s like super Five or major major endorsement deals he Signs a new balance he feels very much Like the guy who's emerging a media Darling a star potentially in the making But actually in 2023 didn't have the best time of it you Know I think he started five of um his Club's first 36 games in all Competitions last season and in Brazil There were some people kind of saying You know where is HRI why is he not Playing here like what's going on Because the breakout campaign prior to That was so strong that I think people Expected him just to continue to go to New levels and at 17 that isn't always The case you know progression isn't just A isn't just a straight line there are Ups and downs here and he was dropped From the side at times and I think he's Been open about that you know there's

Those sort of famous images of him Coming off the bench or coming onto the Bench and then crying on the substitutes Bench and I think you know people have Derided him at times a little bit in Brazil but back end of the year October November really started come into his Own again scored an awful lot of goals Got his Brazil call up although some People in Brazil some of the Brazil Media were questioning that kind of Saying is this sort of a media call up As he been called up because he's the Sort of superstar in the making and Going to Real Madrid rather than his Actual output uh but nevertheless you Know we're talking about I think the Fourth youngest player ever to play for Brazil a 17-year-old who Real Madrid Have put an awful lot of like eggs in His basket um like they obviously rate Him extremely highly he was talking About read an interview with him that Juny Cala kind of flies to see him once A month like has dinner at his family Home and make sure everything's okay Obviously he's a very special player I Guess the question marks come how does He fit into the front line with the Signing or the proposed signing of kilan Mbappe does he play through the middle You know much of his success in the Second half of the Season October and November actually came playing a front

Two where he wasn't the solo guy and do I see Real Madrid playing it with a Front two not really I think maybe not Unless venicius gets injured I just Don't think that happens is it gonna be A venicius mbappe Hendrick front line What does that mean for Rodrigo is he Going to have to play a little bit wider Endri we've seen him not do that so Successfully in 2023 so I think there Are a few question marks as to how he Fits into that Carlo angelotti team but Nevertheless I think you can see this is Probably a superstar in the making 11 Goals in the Brazilian Syria in 2023 I think very very clear physic Basically he's an abnormality like at 16 He doesn't look like a 16y old you know The Legs we talking about a serious physical Presence here he's bullying Men twice His age uh so so strong in the dribble And on the ball and his finishing is Obviously exceptional but he is like a Striker you know and like how does that Fit with mbae does mppe want to play With him like I don't know maybe mbappe Doesn't happen and we don't have to Answer these question I mean mbappe Generally has like you know Does prefer to play off the striker Doesn't he rather than as the center Forward at least you that's always been The the kind of noises that have come

Out of him a PSG but then you know then He's competing with venicius or Rodrigo Or potentially this is what happens at Real Madrid isn't it you know you're Joining a club full of Superstars as a 17year old you're not expecting to be The Superstar you're going to have to Compete for that position and prove Yourself just took two years toak to Properly that might well be the case as Well for endri uh but either way I think When we're talking about the best Teenagers in World football he has to Have mention I think we're all very Excited I'm just kind of more intrigued Like how's he actually what is this guy Going to be able to bring to Madrid you Know why are they so so hot on HRI and Why is everybody saying he's going to be A superstar so let's see he's still only 17 man like you know he's making his Debuts at 15 and in the Brazilian Top Flight it but it does feel like he's had More hype than any Brazilian teenager Maybe since Neymar yeah I think So probably more and you look at that Pal side because you've had you've had Ney incredible like that pal side is is Basically decimating Brazil and like He's been a Lynch pin in it 15 and 16 Years old it's bizarre do you think it He can handle that pressure because Obviously like there's that pressure From Brazil which Neymar experience but

After Neymar I think it's even more Pressure yeah I think it's a bit weird Actually like in Brazil he's one of the Few players I was reading a few articles On him in preparation for this he's one Of the few players that is kind of Bridging the cross Club divide where you Know there are some quite partisan lines Drawn in Brazil between teams and saying You know because he plays for palz I Hate him I really don't like him and Because he plays for Santos I hate him I Don't like him as a Rial fan whereas Endri kind of crosses the Divide where Everybody seems to love him and I think That is partly down to the fact that he Is seen as the new face of Brazilian Football he's seen as you know people Have painted him as the next Pelle I Let's not get ridiculous but because He's started to get Monas like that I Think people in Brazil have effectively Been like we can't really start hating On a guy who might well be the face of Our national team for the next 10 years So he's got a lot of love in Brazil you Know he's definitely going to have a lot Of love in Spain now it's just time to See if he can live up to it Jim um yeah A player simil that is very difficult to Dislike Evan Ferguson yeah um what's Happened to his minutes this season Though J well he's got more this season The whole last season feel only only by

200 but I I think it's as I was saying Before it's a it's a luxury that Brighton have that they don't have to Play him um it would be nice because he Is still incredible he's got six Premier League goals this season and you Wouldn't think it cuz you just doesn't Feel like he's played um I mean three of Those came in one game didn't they true Is youle leag called the hat trick Against yeah and it was quite was great I think some some the go there was one Go in particular was like slightly Clumsy that made me feel like okay this Is quite a lucky hattick but still one Was like 25 yards that rifle bottom Corner yeah yeah but there it's it's one Of them ones where it's like we know Everyone knows about Evan Fergus similar With like and and and Gabby like these Are well actually differently from them Two he hasn't got the minutes to back it Up but we can already see the potential He's got everything you need in terms of A striker a big bullying Striker for a Very young age like Hendrick bullying Men Evan Ferguson bullies men um and He's just you know off the conveyor belt Of Brighton's amazing talent I do love Evan Ferguson but I have you know if we Were talking this time last season I Think there was maybe more hype about Him I don't know whether I was expecting This summer he would be a 100 million

Pound moving Striker like I I was really Expecting one of the top teams would go Do you know what look at again he's done This season he's got even better he's Gone to new levels got more minutes I Think somebody's going to come in and Pay massive fees for him I wouldn't be Surprised this summer to see him just Stay at Brighton again yeah I think and That's not a disres I'm not trying to Disrespect him there CU I think he's Fabulous player but I don't know whether I think Xiao Pedro has eaten up a few of His minutes definitely few of his goal And has kind of come to the forr of the Thinking of what he wants from a number N well that's the luxury that they have They've got someone who's also Incredibly young you know performing jel Pedro um in Europe as well and it's it's I genuinely think it was a tactic by Brighton to kind of let people forget Because no one's going to pay Brighton Another 100 million for a player so I Think they would go okay let's have ever Ferguson let's do what we would do Normally Let's Pretend nobody wants him Let's try and Usher him into the squad Properly uh which I think is what we Should be doing as as a kind of you Every Club should be doing not forcing The gabys to playing every single minute You know that ruins them by the end of The you age of 25 and yeah for Evan

Ferguson a player who you can see the Physicality in his game if he hasn't if He's got slight injuries knocks I I can See it building up and and it ruining Him as a player so the fact that Brighton have kind of staved off Everyone by just not playing as much and Just operating like they should um for Someone of his age I think is amazing And I yeah I'm really excited really Happy that he's not got the link he will Leave this summer I don't think he will Sure I think I think it was always going To be a Premier League club that would Come in for him and then you look when You look at the the Premier League clubs Who would pay 100 Mil like actually Mo Most clubs kind of sorted in the sense Of for you know I guess I guess Chelsea Would be the one wouldn't Aral poti Looking for totam potenti I just don't think Arsenal go for a Number nine as young as Evan fergs I Think Aral if Arsenal going to spend a Lot of money on a number on a number Nine it'll be awes it has to be it has To be a player who they who has already Scored 15 to 20 goals a season I don't Think they can take a risk on someone Like Ferguson who yeah brilliant um Attributes but so far we haven't seen Him score you know on on a kind of you Know five goals in five games six goals And six games kind of basis um when

There's that kind of pressure around Arsenal in terms of their go goal Scoring like I think you have to see Evan Ferguson score 15 goals in the Premier League before they do that um Chelsea would be the the only one but I How much money can Chelsea actually Spend this summer how much Mone how many Players are they going to be a to flow This Summer not necessarily 100 but that Price dropped to 70 or so yeah I Mean difficult one though because Rich This is the thing we kind of this is all Kind of circumstantial at the moment but Like you know rison's playing really Well at the moment and scoring you know Scoring for fun even you know I know man United probably wouldn't spend another 100 Mil but even you know man united Where we you know said forward was a Problem before holand seems to be gr Into that side as well um and then Outside of the big boys you know you Have like Aston Villa and they're Definitely not in need of a striker at This moment in time and we never go near That Fe yeah like Tottenham were you Know Tottenham were looking at Antonio NSA before you know for 30 million Eur Like I I just don't think 100 million is In their budget for a striker like I Think they will have to spend 70 to 80 Million to yet to

Eventually replace son but do they Replace son with someone in the mold of Evan Ferguson I'm just not so sure I'm Not so sure I think I think they want Someone a bit more all around I think Theyd probably want a wide inside Forward rather than rather than a sense Forward like like Ferguson are we Sticking in the Premier League next Suggestions um yeah I think so yeah Lewis Miley at Newcastle um I think you Know in terms Of yeah I think it's actually pretty Remarkable what he's done like SE to be 17 and to be called into that first team And be required to start almost every Single game that's coming in in an Injury crisis for a Newcastle team which You know despite all the investment has Looked threadbear with with the injuries That they've had they've had a lot of Injuries but it also goes to show that Yeah like it's a work in progress still Newcastle to to come into a side which Yet overperformed last season which has Had more pressure on them this year um Has been brilliant you know the one sub Appearance he he made he scored against Fulham in that 3-0 win um yeah 12 of This 13 appearances have been starts um Yeah he just looks he he looks great Again like I don't think he's one of Those players that you don't want to put Too much pressure on at this point

Because he did receive a lot of hype After his first few Appearances um but you know he's not the Star in that team or I don't think he'll Be the star in that team for a good While and when that entire Midfield is Fit I don't think he gets into that Midfield either uh but at 17 to show you Know his ability to and Joe linson's at A contract I believe is he or his Contracts coming right down there talk Contract issues potentially there yeah There is talk about Joe potentially Leaving in the summer um and I guess What Miley does give you um is that you Know that Midfield ability but also that That ability to to go into wide areas as Well and to be honest I think if there's Yeah if there's going to be one big Signing the summer for Newcastle it Surely has to be a right winger but in The meantime Lewis mle's addition to That side has helped um you know Minimize the kind of deficiencies in That area I know like almeron in his day Is great but there isn't really any Backup to him um they have Harvey barns Out for the whole season they bar you Might think of a front F like Isaac Barnes Gordon might actually work in Some way like having Barnes on the right Maybe Barnes on the right that's not his Class you move Gordon out there or like Think they would need a right winger

Just to be where they want to be I think Money could be very TI yeah and even Even Miley out there I don't think is The worst the worst shout but like yeah He gets around the pitch so much like He's really suited to that 4 33 system That that Eddie pal plays you know how Has already talked a lot about how um He's really impressed by Miley's Intelligence and you know I guess also a Real plus is that you know yeah Miley at 17 he hasn't really known the club Really uh without Eddie how you know Eddie how has been there for what like Two years almost two years and a half at This point Um so to have that kind of consistent Coaching someone who has been good with Young players players in the past Someone who has like you know poured a You know drilled that side so well in The defensive sense um I think is you Know is is ideal for for a player of That age who I think you know I think at Heart Miley is a you know is an Attacking midfielder but the defensive Side of his game that he's shown um you Know since breaking to the side has has Been super super impressive so yeah I Think um yeah if if you know if he's not Relied upon too much over the next year Or so Um and he can just kind of continue to Develop in training um and and yeah

Still be called upon but but maybe not At quite the same rate I think we we Should see him develop into a yeah Definitely Seas I think def um I'm going To say Alejandra gacho yeah um as my Second to final one um I just think that He's taken strides I wasn't necessarily Expecting him to take like I thought he Was going to be a really good player but He's definitely definitely ly gone from A player that had more impact Off the Bench you know he was better in the Final 20 minutes than as a starter for Me at the start of the season now he's An integral starter in that Manchester United side I think he's found a home on The right which probably has surprised Him and Eric tenh har um we all thought He was going to be more of a left Winger I actually think he's more effective off The right because he can beat people on The outside he works really well with Dow his defensive work has improved no End you know he's probably the better of The two defensively out wide now out With him and Marcus rashford um I think It's 20 starts in a row as well in all Competitions which is a lot of minutes For Alejandro G that show wouldn't be Saying that at the start of the Season You know he's definitely used Anthony in Terms of the manager thinking and Although Anthony is badly badly out of Form you know he was still signed for 8

Of Million by Eric tenh har he was Eric Tenh hard's goto man out wide and gacho Has taken his position taken his shirt Like he's in a way that like Sancho Wasn't able to last year certainly Absolutely and I think even with Rashford's dips in form he's arguably Become the second forward on the team Sheet behind rusland who I think you Know has in the second half of the Season certainly taken massive strides I Think Alejandro garach has probably been Man United's best forward across the Entire campaign um so although I don't Think he's in the category of some of These other players you know I don't Necessarily think he's l a m level at The moment I think he's taking strides At a very very rapid rate you look at Some of the stuff numbers wise that pops On him like Progressive carries he's Extremely hard to stop in the One V one You know we saw against Aston Villa even Though there was a couple of one went Very very narrowly wide and one kind of Scuffed shot when he gets motoring he's Extremely hard to stop you have to bring Him down even though he's slight uh his Dribbling and balance is really really Impressive so I think G actually Deserves a shout out here I don't think He's necessarily going to be in the Final five but we're going to probably Talk about kobby Mayu and I think in

Terms of teenagers at man united across The course of the season the whole Season I think gachu has probably been The better teenager yeah I would say so Yeah I mean mano's only only came into The team in DEC one thing I will say about Garo There's there's something about him Where like I feel he's in in I'm trying To say this in a nice way like he's so Obsessed with Ronaldo seems like he's Got a lot of D and like yeah he wants to Replicate that he wants to kind of prove Him this is just me kind of coming up With a complete nonsense thing but like It feels like he's so desperate to Impress Ronaldo and replicate what Ronaldo does that he will continually Get better like you've seen the Improvements already the willingness to Go on the right and as we say youur Jaden Sancho and um Anthony who've come In for Big Money big reputations and Yeah I think it's incredible but Kobe Mayu I wanted to shout out because I Think playing for Manchester United like Coming up from you know from from any Team being a teenager playing in the First team is an incredible achievement But to do it at man united in their Current predicament with the pressure That comes with it is incredible like Garnacho you've got to give him all the You know the props for what he's done so

Far and Kobe Mayu exactly the same the Calmness the intelligence the maturity Of him already and this is you know I Would love to bag on him because I'm a Man City fan but I just can't like he is Exactly what man united need in the Midfield need for about 10 years And it's it's incredible that he came in And like near enough from the first kick Of a football you he's been consistent There has been not a single like Negative to his game um and he's also The uh brother of Jordan from love Island which which blew my mind um just Throw that out but genuinely as a as a Rival fan seeing Kobe Mayu come up and Just be so natural in everything he does And yeah and he seems like he's got cool Head above that as well if someone gives Him a kick he doesn't seem like the kind Of person that be rattled by it he is an Extremely mature player U for his age And and like when I look at young Players you can see kind of technical Ability uh like everyone at this level Has technical ability they're all great Great great players but it's the Mentality it's the drive it's the Composure that really sets players apart This is you know age Reign regardless And for him to be where he's at at his Age is incredible I think we're seeing The start of like a man united Captain For you know like a generation and I

Genuinely think he'll be phenomenal Manchester United yeah he certainly is I Think probably the most press resistant Midfielder United have had since Michael Carrick maybe like um I I know that's Like poba Pogba yeah POG Pogba as well To be fair Pogba as well um but in terms Of like someone who at least so far Looks like he's very much suited to a Deep flying role I feel like Mayu yeah More so than Pogba in some ways um just Because Pogba was to be honest always at His best with United when he was given More of an attacking license and was Given a bit more of a flare role whereas There was only maybe a three four month Period where Pogba really excelled as More of a sitting player and it just Never really suited him whereas whereas Mayu I think has he can do I mean he can Do a lot um but so far he's been so Effective at actually stabilizing Man United which is just crazy when you Consider he's 18 years old and you know Players you know 28 year olds 29 year Olds with tons of experience have not Been able to do that at United um so it Is pretty special and you know Inevitably there will come a point where You know he has a run of one or two Months where he he's not playing so well And the defensive structure around him Isn't so good and you know he'll be a Bit under pressure and you know maybe

United do spend more on a you know on a Midfielder in the summer I feel like They probably will um uh but you know You know but the fact that he's like Seems to have brought out the best in Casemiro recently like speaks volumes About about like the maturity on him and And yeah just you know just the Technical ability you know obviously you Know we talk about that goal against Wolves but like you know the the you Know Scott mctom doesn't score the Winner against Aston Villa if you know May doesn't pull off that that bit of Footwork to to to lay it off to do there Um you know like just those little bits You know you know he he can kind of get Around the pitch and you know get the Ball out of tight spaces and stuff and Um you know that plus his kind of Tactical intelligence as defensive now Um yeah really really sets them apart Like we haven't really seen a a player Come through like that from the United Academy in in God knows how long you Know like you usually you know United Have been great at producing you know Exciting attackers out of the academy Kind of flare players but like someone Like like Mayu um you know he's the kind Of guy that you expect to see come out Of say a kind of City Academy or or Lamazia like that that kind of technical Level yeah uh last names then last names

We fly through couple of these yeah I'll Go through I mean this this is someone Who who's got some of the most minutes Out of all teenagers in Europe this Season Hugo Larson at out Frankfurt I Think deserves a shout um still pretty Raw um but playing in a FR you know has You know made 18 starts I think he's the Fifth most used player in a Frankfurt Side who I think have been will have Clearly been they got a best of the rest In the Bundesliga this season obviously There's that kind of top five who I Think are you know a level above Everyone else um Dortmund arguable but Um frankfur you know sixth this season Have you know generally had great Pedigree in in in the Bundesliga over The last few years but you know under a New manager in Dino top M this year um You know Hugo Lawson came in in the in The summer had made 61 appearances for Mal and his his native Sweden before That he's got four caps for Sweden now Um sadly he's out until March with a Hamstring injury um so Frankfurt will Have to you know having to deal without Him at the moment but just yeah has has Really good just looks like a really Good all round midfielder scored a great Goal on his weak foot against Bayern Munich in December um you know did O Maano with some footwork before before Slotting home and I Know M yeah I know I

Know maano once again after a Champions League knockout tie has um you know his Uh his name has um is being dragged Through the mud bless him um I don't Know what he was thinking um with that Tackle against Lazio but he just looks Like a really good all round midfielder He's quite he's quite lanky um but has a Really good touch on him really good on The turn like good in transition Defensively pretty sound I feel like He's one of those midfielders who when He fills out a little bit more will be Really really really tough to stop like Like I think physically already he's Quite he's quite impressive but he still Looks a little bit skinny I feel like When he fills out a little bit more he Will look like a a really really Top Class um box-to-box midfielder um and I Expect him yeah probably not to stay at Frankfurt much longer than a season or Two more yeah I think that's a good Shout an outside shout I'm going to do Mine very quickly because he's had Barely any minutes uh frankly but I Think it's worth just mentioning Maas T At Bayern Munich um look I think he's Actually played 24 games this season but All Off the Bench All Off the Bench Obviously um and it's at an average of 22 minutes a game so yes his numbers are Incredible you know we see the amount of Goals per minute it does look

Outstanding I keep seeing that stat on Twitter it's like ridiculous goals per Minute but it is against tired defenses In a B unun team that's extremely Dominant and he's coming on and think Some games he's having impacts you know There have been winners in there but Most is coming on against tired defenses With a lights out Bayern Munich attack That are looking to pile on misery and He's scoring goals in that environment Like he has scored fairly big goals you Know you think the Copenhagen goal but I Think there's a lot more to come from Mattias T and My worry is does that come At Bayern Munich I really struggle Especially when comm's back and ser Nab's back I struggle to see where where Do his starts come like with Kane there As well on on such a like a longterm High-profile deal like see I I I Genuinely think that that opposite I Agre I agree with that but I I do think Bayern Munich see him as a long-term a To to Harry Kane they're ushering him in With it they making sure that he learns With Harry Kane and when Kane's Deal's Done that tell steps in I think it's Very I don't want to say obvious because But it it's very clear that their Intention are that Maas tell is the Future of Bayern Munich's you know being The number one Striker I think the issue There though is that Bayern Munich at

The moment are in such a you know a bit Of a mess really that they can't afford To give tell those sort of minutes that He needs to develop because it could end Badly like so many games are so close at The mo moment for bu and they're not Necessarily blowing teams away as they Have been in previous years five or 6 Nil that they almost can't you know oh Can we risk TA in this in this period You know they're out of the pock house So early they're under pressure against Lazio straightway in the Champions League they're in a absolute dog fight Against Leverkusen in the Bundesliga Like I don't know I I I think he's a Fabulous player and maybe I'm being a Bit too harsh but I I think maybe Al Loan next season might be the best Option for him it kind of depends what Happens with that wide Talent as well Though because there's no guarantee that Say Leroy is going to be at Bayern Munich forever if you know if a huge Offer say were to come in for him Because he's had such a great season you Know dubb you know potentially you know Make make a profit on Leroy San um Kingsley K and gabry aren't you know Quite as in Vogue at the moment but I I Don't know I feel like opportunities Will come I like I I do see your point Like I do see your point like a loan Would certainly be great for him but

Like it would have to be to the right Club um but I don't think I don't think We're going to see another xery Situation be surprised um my final Player yeah uh bit of a personal on this Rico Lewis I'm surprised he came up so Late you know the leave the best to last Um going straight on the thumb and People have had to wait for for him for 45 minutes uh in terms of like football Intelligence I think this we we we're Seeing like a ridiculously Advanced Player for his age he's you know started Off as a right back then pep inverted Him into the Midfield from right back Which he took that and then put into Jon Stones which obviously allowed him to Have that incredible season so he he's He was already experimenting with Rico Lewis and what his capabilities are from The off you know and we've seen him play Right back successfully we've played Seen him play the inverted right back Successfully we've seen him play DM Successfully we've seen him in a in a More box to box role successfully and an Attacking Midfield World successfully Like it that to be trusted unal to be Trusted by pep and and well a to have The technical ability like just take Away his football intelligence technical Ability is unreal he's got that phone Esque ability to kind of never lose the Ball to get it and suck it fair enough

He does I have seen him lose the ball a Few times but he is extremely tenacious And he will do his best to win it back And usually does um with the tackle the Kind of following his player then Getting the tackle in um and then match That with his football intelligence to Be able to play certain different Positions in pep guardiola's demanding System I just I just I can't speak Highly of them enough I think we've like Man City are produced ing these not only Kind of you know generational Man City Legends and whatever they they're Producing like the world's best and I Think Rico Lewis is just the next F Phone in terms of like they've got the Same ceiling I I I can see Rico Lewis Being like you know team of the you know Year balandor you know whatever it's Called the team the top team team of Team of the Year you know alongside Phone I genuinely think he's that good So who's r five going to be yeah okay Yeah we need to decide as well has to go In there I think Warren Z Emy has to go In there yeah those two in there I think Out of my picks there's not Maybe I would really really I know it's Not this season he's had his breakout But he still played a thousand minutes This year but Rico Le for me has to be In there I think there and the best team In in the world to be playing that he's

Got treble already and and was a pivotal Part in the the tactics that led to it Yeah okay so that's three Gaby go in I Mean G I mean Gabby kind of has to go in Now that we we've set him haven't we I Think gav already and then it's either And then it's basically Savio or um Joel Nees I would say or I mean Mayu has he Had enough minutes G gacho as well I Think verir has been great I think verir Is a tough one because he's he's unknown So it's hard to and he's in a UNF Fluttering be know yeah in there I think If if Savio wasn't CFG if he was coming Up naturally say wasn't such an industry Plant but I mean he's he's been a key Player in like the one of the best Stories in Europe this season it's so Orchestrated that I I I it takes it down A little bit L you know for me I think NZ also has been a key player in like a Yeah story More so fifth Ric Lewis fourth gavy Third War third first sorry first oh it's a Tough top five let us know what you Think of that top five in the comments Below and give us your own top five in The comments below thanks very much to James Wayne for stepping in today Michael mcin for looking so smart thanks To you for watching see you later Goodbye
