#2 Hachim Mastour
Trending
This kid was meant to be an absolute superstar. Mastour was a classic case of social media and the Internet giving a youth player a huge reputation before he had even played a minute of first team football.
Mastour did a commercial alongside Nike and Neymar at the height of Neymar’s hype, and the hype train made a quick stop off at Hachim Mastour central, with the Internet exploding about the talents and skills of the Milan youth player.
Even his FIFA rating on career mode made him out to be the next Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi, but Mastour was set unattainable goals simply because of YouTube. Hopefully we see what Mastour can really do, but his loan spells at various clubs across Europe isn’t filling us with much hope.
As many of his managers have said, Mastour is technically a fantastic player but is still yet to learn the mental side of the game. At youth level and on YouTube, his skills can be fantastic but when he is playing with the big boys, the goalposts move further and further away.
