“I'm going to give my all to beat Lionel Messi,” said Bas Dost a couple of weeks before the conclusion of the League season. The man tried, and he tried hard, but unfortunately, he came up against the immovable object. The Netherlands international has 34 strikes from a staggering 90 shots in Portuguese League with Sporting.
Now 27, five years hence that record-breaking season as a 22-year-old top scorer of the Eredivisie. It is safe to say that he hasn’t set the world alight. But, this season, he showcased everything that made him one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe.
His ability to find space in the most crowded of areas, and his ability to use all of the 1.96 meters of height which led him to score a staggering 11 goals from his head. He finished with just three goals less than the top-scorer in Europe, and it’s best to say, he did his best to cement his name in the history books.
