Who leads the new era? Sometimes, career planning outweighs talent.

Hi, everyone! Today, let's discuss a topic that interests us all. Lionel Messi undoubtedly led football over the past 15 years. But who will be the leader after Messi? Just when everyone thought the next iconic duo would be Haaland and Mbappé, a young Englishman named Bellingham suddenly emerged to claim, 'There might not be a duo; maybe there's only one king, and that's me, Bellingham.'

Bellingham joined Real Madrid for over a hundred million euros this year, and as soon as he arrived, he showcased his influence. Whenever he plays, it's either scoring goals or providing assists, or creating goal-scoring opportunities. In short, in most of the games Real Madrid played this season, Bellingham has been the standout player. This momentum isn't just limited to his club; Bellingham also plays a savior's role for the national team. If he continues on this path, Bellingham might surpass Haaland and Mbappé next year, securing the Ballon d'Or.

I personally feel a sense of regret for Mbappé. In hindsight, his career planning has been chaotic, lingering at Paris Saint-Germain for years. If Mbappé had decided to leave Paris and join Real Madrid two years ago, Bellingham's current development might have been Mbappé's. Now, it's certain that Mbappé won't win the Champions League with PSG, and the once-assured league titles are also in jeopardy. PSG isn't the powerhouse it once seemed, and after two matches against Real Madrid, it's unclear whether they still want Mbappé. Some say Mbappé has closed the door to joining Real Madrid by himself.

I truly feel regret for Mbappé because he's part of the French national team, which won the World Cup when he was just 18. He could have achieved feats that only he could attain: multiple World Cups and multiple Champions League titles. However, it's clear that his development hasn't met expectations. Mbappé could have had a career that stood out, while his competitor, Haaland, plays for a weaker national team in Norway, which limits his international achievements compared to Mbappé.

Meanwhile, Bellingham plays for the English national team, with hopes of winning prestigious national titles. At Real Madrid, he's a skilled performer in the Champions League. While Mbappé is currently leading, the situation suggests that Bellingham has a real chance to overtake him, emphasizing the importance of career planning in determining the future of football. This serves as a reminder that talent doesn't always decide everything.

The most unfortunate thing for Mbappé is not failing to join Real Madrid but losing to Argentina in the World Cup final last year. Otherwise, with Mbappé's performance, he would have easily claimed the Ballon d'Or. Unfortunately, it seemed like his French teammates lacked determination. Even with Mbappé's hat-trick, they missed the chance to defend the World Cup.

Talent is of no use; hard work, luck, and teammates are the true path to success.

"Mbappé and his family are clearly money-minded, which has been a factor in not reaching agreements with Real Madrid twice. They believed that with PSG's high-profile signings, they had a chance to contend for the Champions League, but they were eliminated earlier each time. Now, Haaland holds the Champions League trophy, while Mbappé's club career lacks a heavyweight championship. He's likely to leave PSG next summer, and given that Real Madrid hasn't signed a striker for the past two years, they're likely to make an offer. Currently, Real Madrid still appears to be the best fit for Mbappé.

Bellingham is young and has great potential. Real Madrid is grooming him along the lines of Kaka. If Real Madrid wins the Champions League this season, and Bellingham plays a key role, he'll likely secure the Ballon d'Or next year. However, this season's Real Madrid is relatively average, making it challenging to outshine other top clubs. Bellingham's path to the throne might face strong competition from Mbappé.

Regarding Haaland, he's the likely winner of this year's Ballon d'Or. However, his recent form has been a bit off, and he needs to make adjustments. Haaland can only reach the level of players like Ibrahimović. His national team is weaker, and he can't compare with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi."

This seems like it could be a betting opportunity. Shall we place some bets and have some fun? Haha!

I believe that Bellingham is likely to become a football superstar in the next three years. I see his current performance as very impressive; he excels on the field. Additionally, he has a selfless playing style. Have you noticed? He rarely takes shots himself and instead prioritizes passing the ball. Team spirit is his main focus, and he excels in cooperation. I like him.
