In the World Cup match against Brazil, 18 year old Moroccan player Ayoub Bouadi showed such a performance that the world was surprised. He also failed big players like Casemiro.
New Delhi: After the thrilling World Cup match between Brazil and Morocco, only one name is being discussed in the football world – Ayoub Bouadi. Football experts are calling this 18-year-old boy, who provided water to the Brazilian team on the field, the biggest discovery of this World Cup.
Who is this boy who surprised the football world?
Year 2018. A 10 year old child reached the stadium to watch the World Cup match holding his father’s hand. Unperturbed by the noise all around, his eyes were fixed only on the ball rotating on the field. That little heart had decided that very day, “One day I too will play this ball and the world will watch.” Exactly eight years later, when the boy appeared in his first World Cup wearing the Moroccan jersey, the whole world was shocked. That 10 year old child sitting in the gallery was none other than Ayub Buadi, the man who brought Brazil to its knees!
Casemiro and Bruno also failed, Ayub dominated the field
In this match, Ayub completely neutralized Brazil’s strong midfield. At the age of just 18, the calmness and intelligence he showed on the field was incredible. His 91% passing accuracy, perfect attacking passes and his ability to stop Brazil’s every move astounded everyone.
Ayub did not even allow veteran Brazilian players like Casemiro and Bruno Guimaraes to move an inch forward. Many football fans also believe that Ayoub Bouadi should have received the ‘Man of the Match’ award more than Vinicius Junior. Ayub currently plays for French club Lille. Recognizing his talent, English club Arsenal had made a huge offer of 60 million euros, but Lille flatly refused to sell him.
If experts are to be believed, by the end of this World Cup, Ayub Buadi’s transfer value will cross 100 million euros. Now it remains to be seen whether this Moroccan boy will indeed be able to create history, as the world is expecting.
