VINICIUS JUDE 8 JUNIOR BELLINGHAM

10

REAL MADRID | AGE 21

IT FEELS LIKE VJ has been around for ages after playing three full seasons at Real, but this 21-year-old trickster is only just getting started. He’s been the face of FIFA’s street ball VOLTA mode, has turned out for Brazil and is a fast-footed winger with plenty to prove.

It’s a big season for Vini!

DID YOU K N OW ?

VJ started ballin he was younge ’ as a futsal player when r, ev Flamengo, beforen having trials for to the traditione switching al game after a few years !

EDUARDO CAMAVINGA REAL MADRID | AGE 18

DON’T SLEEP ON Eddy, readers. He was kicking firstteam ball for Rennes in Ligue 1 at the age of 16 before Los Blancos snapped up his talent. He’s since played five times in La Liga and is having a huge technical impact on the way Real are starting to play. He’s a really sick passer and dribbles like a buzzy forward!

“We all know the physical and technical qualities he has and then he brought his personality into play.

He is a player who has confidence in his qualities!”

CARLO ANCELOTTI, REAL MADRID MANAGER

BORUSSIA DORTMUND | AGE 18 TRUST US WHEN we say there won’t be many better midfielders in world footy than this guy in five years’ time. He’s packed more into his short career than many do in decades after playing regularly in the Bundesliga, Champions League and Euro 2020. He dominates the engine room!

DID YOU K N OW ?

When Jude pla ye he became the d for Birmingham, ever player wh club’s youngest debut in 2019 en he made his at 16 years old !

“Saka is such a good player. Such maturity and intelligence for his age. Game changer!”

BUKAYO SAKA

CESC FABREGAS, ARSENAL LEGEND

ARSENAL | AGE 20

THE GUNNERS STAR boy has had a seriously tekky year, starring for England at Euro 2020, winning Arsenal’s Player of the Year award and becoming the club’s new No.7 after signing a fresh long-term contract. His sharp jinks in between defenders, cut-inand-bang style and brave link-up play make him one of the most exciting young forwards out there!

TURN OVER FOR MORE!

“His quality is speed, change of rhythm, explosion. He unbalances teams with his control!”

DIEGO SIMEONE, ATLETICO MADRID MANAGER

PEDRI

6

BARCELONA | AGE 18 WE’RE PRETTY SURE Pedri played 3,295 games last season – and that’s because everyone wants this possession king in their team! He played a full season for Barca, the Euros for Spain and then chipped off to the Olympics to ball, too. Get this – he’s so valuable, he’s just signed a new contract with a release clause of, wait for it, £1bn!

JOAO FELIX

DID YOU K N OW ?

Pedri is the yo history to scoreungest player in La Liga game after his and assist in the same fiv against Athlet e-star performance ic Bilbao earlie r this year!

ALPHONSO DAVIES

ATLETICO MADRID | AGE 21

BAYERN MUNICH | AGE 20 IMAGINE A LEFT-back who’s the quickest player on the pitch, can dribble past the whole opposition and slot finesse finishes past the keeper? That's this Canadian whippersnapper.

In 2017, the Bayern baller became the youngest player to play for Canada at just 17 and has gone on to win 28 caps since!

10

“Alphonso is doing outstandingly. In addition to his speed on the pitch, he’s very adept defensively!”

HANSI FLICK, GERMANY MANAGER

5

DID YOU K N OW ?

Joao isn’t the who is on the only Felix in the family ris Hugo, is highly e. His 17-year-old bro, rated it at Benfica’s and smashing academy!

THERE’S A LOT to love about Joao. He’s quick, acrobatic, creative and has long fluffy hair that bounces when he’s ballin’! Oh, and he’s the youngest player to score a hat-trick in the Europa League, a former Golden Boy winner and is the fourthmost expensive transfer of all time at £113m. He’s got a huge future ahead of him!

DID YOU K N OW ?

Sanch started his seven-year-old. career at Watford as a were interesteArsenal and Chelsea Man. City snapd in his talent, but ped him up at 14!

JADON SANCHO

MAN. UNITED | AGE 21 THERE ARE NO goals or assists to Jadon’s name for the Red Devils just yet but give him a minute because he bagged 37 goals and 41 assists across three league seasons at Borussia Dortmund. The Three Lions’ speedy star is just revving up and adjusting to his new squad before he smashes it.

There’s a lot more to come!

12

“Jadon Sancho is a superb player. He’s a menace with his technique, speed and dribbling!”

THOMAS MULLER, BAYERN MUNICH FORWARD

PHIL FODEN

MAN. CITY | AGE 21

NO FAKING, LAST season’s Premier League Young Player of the Season gets better with every touch he takes. The boy Phil’s a mainstay in Gareth Southgate's England squad these days, one of Pep Guardiola’s first names on the Man. City team-sheet and made this year’s 30man shortlist for the Ballon d’Or. We’re not surprised!

DID YOU K N OW ?

Back in 2019, At 17 old, Phil Foden years and 350 days the youngest was (and still is) player ever to win the Premier Le ague!

“He’s comfortable. He loves to play. At his age, I’ve never seen a player with this potential!”

PEP GUARDIOLA, MAN. CITY MANAGER TURN OVER FOR MORE!

ERLING HAALAND BORUSSIA DORTMUND | AGE 21

THE LEEDS-BORN Terminator has been crushing it for so long, you forget he’s still such a young pup. Known for his pace, power and untouchable finishing ability, the 2020 Golden Boy has already scored 137 career goals in 178 games.

Mark our words – this guy will be the world’s best!

“He’s a great player.

In the future, he has the chance to become the best forward in the world!”

ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI, BAYERN MUNICH 15

Look at me, I’m shakin’ my maracas!

The players are suddenly pretty nervous…

Altogether now!

How do I turn this thing on?

I'll wipe the smiles off your faces!

This is a school – not a fun factory.

You’re here to learn!

It’s another fun day at school for the wonderkids…

Oh no! I’ve heard all about Mr Klopp!

Until their new teacher Mr Klopp turns up, that is…

Sancho is given some abstract algebra to solve…

Yeah, when he’s angry, steam comes out of his ears!

The hard work starts now, you scoundrels!

Phil Foden has to write 200 lines…

Wait, what? Oslo is the capital of Norway? I thought it was N!

Can't even copy and paste on this stupid board!

Haaland has to learn the capitals of every country…

I don't even know who Al is, mate!

He’s gonna wipe the smiles off our faces, is he?

Zzzzzzzzzz!

But after a long day of teaching, Mr Klopp nods off…

This is our big chance, Phil!

What can we do?

The players hatch a plan to get their own back on Mr Klopp…

20 minutes later and Mr Klopp wakes up…

Ha-ha!

Ha-ha!

Oi, what are you lot laughing at?

Think you've got something to wipe off YOUR face, sir!

Sadly for Mr Klopp it's the wonder kids who have the last laugh!

EPIC WONDERKIDS

FIFA 22 SIM!

TR ANSFER WINDOW! THE FIRST transfer window was crazy, with loads of weird moves happening in the Prem. Liverpool dropped £35m to take Jamie Vardy away from Leicester, the Foxes replaced him with Wolves’ Raul Jimenez, who then took a risk to sign Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale!

WONDERKIDS FC had so many awesome forwards in their squad and received loads of transfer offers – so they decided to let current Southampton star Armando Broja join West Ham on a permanent deal!

PR E-SEASON!

WE REPLACED NORWICH’S squad with the best Prem ballers aged 21 or under to see how well the talented kids would do in the league!

THE BIG BAD news was a serious injury to first-choice CDM Oliver Skipp. He was ruled out for three months with a broken rib, so Billy Gilmour jumped into the starting 11 for the season opener!

TH E SQ UA D! NORWICH'S ON-LOAN centre-back Ozan Kabak was surprisingly named captain. He was joined at the heart of the defence by Leicester youngster Wesley Fofana - and Leeds’ keeper Illan Meslier was handed the No.1 shirt!

THE WONDERKIDS set up in an attacking 4-3-3 formation to make the most of their creative talent. Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka joined Man. United pair Mason Greenwood and Jadon Sancho up top, with Man. City baller Phil Foden pulling the strings in midfield!

20

JAKE SAYS

THE PRE-SEASON warm-up was a big success for the young guns. They dominated their group, with Emile Smith Rowe putting in some heroic performances, but that wasn’t enough to get past Ajax in the final!

Oliver Skipp spent last season on loan at Norwich, so he should know his way around Carrow Road!

TURN OVER FOR MORE!

THE S EAS ON !

THE SEASON! WHAT A START! The opener against Liverpool looked bleak when Roberto Firmino scored after five minutes, but the wonderkids stuck with it and three second half goals earned a 3-2 victory!

ONE STANDOUT player was Mason Greenwood. He was transformed from a RM into a ST and scored loads in the league. He was nommed for POTM twice, but lost out on both occasions!

LEAGUE POSITION

5th

THE SECOND string started well in the cup, too, smashing Accrington Stanley 6-0. Eddie Nketiah bagged a hatty and Christos Tzolis hit a worldie!

AFTER A DECENT start, form fell off in the league. Draws against Chelsea, Burnley and Brentford halted the team’s progress, with worrying losses against Wolves and Brighton. Wins over Everton and West Ham in the EFL Cup kept the morale high, though!

GETTING OLIVER Skipp back was super important for a very tough December schedule. Super-sub Ferran Torres came into form just at the right time, too!

AFTER LOSING in the cup, the ballers stepped up and kept LEAGUE POSITION on their strong league form, beating Man. City again and completing a league double over Southampton!

7th

12th WINS OVER Wolves and Newcastle put the wonderkids back on track – and in with the chance of a Europa League spot on the last day of the season!

JANUARY WAS a quieter transfer window all round, but our fave move was Newcastle swooping for former Prem hero Marouane Fellaini to pair with another legend, Cesc Fabregas, in centre midfield!

9th

LEAGUE POSITION

9th

BUT THEN, disaster struck. Mason Greenwood was hit with a serious injury that would keep him out until the end of the season. This gave an opportunity for Ferran Torres, who took his spot up top!

LEAGUE POSITION

DECEMBER WENT well for the youngsters and then things got dramatic in the EFL Cup. The wonderkids faced Man. City in the quarter-finals and the sides couldn’t be separated after 90 minutes. Pens LEAGUE POSITION were tense, and after Meslier saved from Bernardo Silva, Billy Gilmour hit one top bins to win it!

GREENWOOD'S INJURY MADE the team stumble – they crashed out of the FA Cup to Chelsea and then lost badly to an Alexandre Lacazette-inspired Arsenal!

LEAGUE POSITION

6th

BUT THEN they lost 1-0 to Tottenam. Emile Smith Rowe hit the bar but the defeat meant they slipped into seventh and ended up with a Europa Conference League spot! LEAGUEFINPOSAL ITION

RESULTS

IN THE wonderkids squad, both Brandon Williams and Ozan Kabak were recalled by their parent clubs, which left them short at the back. Burnley’s Nathan Collins became the new captain!

TOM THORPE Centre-back

THE MANCHESTER-BORN youth team captain made one Premier League appearance for United before being released by the club in 2015. He went on to play for Rotherham, Bradford and Bolton before spending one season at ATK in the Indian Super League in 2017. The defender sadly hasn’t played since!

PAUL POGBA Midfielder

ONE YEAR after helping United win the FA Youth Cup, Pogba left Old Trafford on a free and joined Juventus. After four years in Italy, where he won four Serie A titles, he made a sensational £93m move back to Man. United in 2016. Now in his sixth season back in his Premier League and has played more than 200 games for the club!

8

RAVEL MORRISON Forward

RATED BY many as the most talented player in the team, Ravel’s struggles off the pitch affected him on it. He never made a league appearance for United and joined West Ham in 2012. After a series of loans, he left for Lazio in 2015. He’s since played in Mexico, Sweden and Holland before joining Derby in August this year!

MAN. UNITED

WONDERKIDS OF 2011!

28

1

SEAN McGINTY Centre-back

SEAN NEVER PLAYED a first team game for United and moved to Sheffield United in 2013 – but was released the following year after making just two appearances for the Blades.

He had spells in League Two and the National League before moving to Scotland in 2018. He recently joined Scottish Championship club Ayr!

2

GYLIANO VAN VELZEN Striker

THE DUTCHMAN also failed to break into the first team at United and was released in 2013. He returned to Holland to join Utrecht, before spells at Volendam and Roda. He returned to England in 2019 to join League Two Crawley, but after playing just four games he signed for Dutch second division team Telstar last year!

Keeper

WONDERKIDS WAY BACK!

SAM WAS loaned out TEN times during his seven years at Old Trafford – but he was another player who never made a single appearance for the Red Devils. He finally left United in 2018 when he joined West Brom for £6.5m.

He was named West Brom's Player of the Year last season and is part of the England set-up!

6 7

SAM JOHNSTONE

10 MICHELE FORNASIER Left-back

THE ITALIAN is yet another member of the class of 2011 who failed to make a first-team appearance. He left the club in 2013 to join Sampdoria, where he spent the next two seasons. He went on to play for Pescara, Venezia and Parma before joining his current club, Serie B side Cremonese, in 2020!

5

MICHAEL KEANE Right-back

KEANE WAS handed his Premier League debut

by Louis van Gaal in 2014 – but that was to be his only league appearance for the club. Following several loan spells, he left Old Trafford in 2015 when he signed for Burnley. After three seasons at Turf Moor, he moved to Everton for £25m and is a first team regular at Goodison Park!

7

RYAN TUNNICLIFFE

WILLIAM KEANE

NEYMAR 10 YEARS AGO!

Striker

THE TWIN brother of team-mate Michael, Will made two league appearances for United and had loan spells at Wigan, QPR, Sheffield Wednesday and Preston, before signing for Hull in 2016. After failing to find form with the Tigers he spent a season at Ipswich before joining his current club Wigan in 2020!

11

LIONEL MESSI 18 YEARS AGO!

Midfielder

ANOTHER WHO failed to make a single Prem appearance for United, Ryan was sold to Fulham in 2014. After three seasons at Craven Cottage the tough-tackling midfielder was released, spending a season and a half at Millwall, before joining Luton. He played 64 times for the Hatters before signing for Portsmouth this summer!

9

CRISTIANO RONALDO 18 YEARS AGO!

LUKA MODRIC 15 YEARS AGO!

JESSE LINGARD Forward

IT TOOK three years and several loan spells before Jesse broke into the first team when he was handed his debut by Louis van Gaal.

After five seasons as a first team regular, he found himself out of the starting line-up so joined West Ham on loan. He’s now back at Old Trafford and fighting for a first team spot!

INTERVIEW

A L A I S U JAMAL M

s lk ta r e ll a b h ic n u M rn e y a B The 18-year-old the top so quickly! about how he got to How did you get into football?

JAMAL SAYS: “I was born in Stuttgart and then we moved to Fulda in Germany when I was around two. I started kicking ball there. I was just having fun and then my mum had to move. She was at university in Southampton, so we were there for four months and I was playing football for different teams!”

When did you get scouted?

JAMAL SAYS: “I think I was watched at one of the games I played with Southampton, and I was offered a trial at Chelsea, so I was like: "Of course!" I was nervous and didn’t speak the language very well. I learnt English in about six months and everything went well!”

You could have played for either England or Germany – how did you pick?

JAMAL SAYS: “It was a hard decision. I thought for a long time about what I was going to do. I thought Germany was best for me and where I’d feel most comfortable. Even though England got to the final of the Euros, I have no regrets. I still have that love for England, my boys are there, like Jude Bellingham.

If England are doing well, then I’m happy!”

What are your ambitions in the game?

JAMAL SAYS: “Right now, I just want to keep improving and working on myself, and then keep winning titles – Bundesliga, Champions League and hopefully with Germany win the World Cup next year, then the Euros!”

JAMAL was in Chelsea's youth academy as a kid!

What’s it been like since you signed for Bayern?

JAMAL SAYS: “At the start, I was nervous. You look at players like Robert Lewandowski and think this isn’t normal, but then after a while it becomes normal. I can now say that they’re my friends!”

Jamal Musiala was talking to Craig Mitch on MOTDx

INTERVIEW

ROY OF THE ROVERS ROTR BOOKS INTERVIEW!

We chat to the two (fictional) wonderkid siblings from the ace football book series, Roy and Rocky Race!

AND SHIRT! WOW! ONE LUCKY reader will win a complete set of all 14 Roy of the Rovers books, signed by the authors. They’ll also bag themselves the official Melchester Rovers shirt. How wicked is that?

ROCKY! ROY! Roy and Rocky, you two are both teenage rising stars at Melchester Rovers – what’s the best thing about being a footballer?

What advice would you have for young ballers wanting to play for big clubs like you do? How do they keep improving their all-round game?

ROY SAYS: “Just being able to play the game I love for a living and getting THAT awesome feeling when the ball hits the back of the net!”

ROCKY SAYS: “Being much better than my brother at something. Ha-ha!”

ROY SAYS: “Just work hard, listen to your coaches, and don't get distracted by the stuff that's not that important. If you love the game, just focus on that and getting better as a player!”

ROCKY SAYS: “I'd say find the position on the pitch that suits you. I started out wanting to score every game. But someone needs to do the hard graft in the middle of the park!”

Who are your favourite young ballers in world football?

ROY SAYS: “I love watching Erling Haaland play. He and I are similar players, I suppose. Both of us are blond, too.

I think my rocket's better, though!”

ROCKY SAYS: “Hanna Bennison of Everton.

She plays midfield, like me – and she's not that much older.

She’s someone I look up to!”

38

You’re both National Literacy Trust reading champions. Why do you believe reading is so important?

ROY SAYS: “You train on the grass in order to improve your body and your skills, you read a book to improve your mind.

It's the same thing, really!”

ROCKY SAYS: “He's right. Dad and Mum always taught us we had to be good at schoolwork as well as on the football pitch. And reading really helps you escape all the pressures of anything that might be bothering you!”

My footy journey!

ERIN CUTHBERT IN FOCUS

ERIN SAYS: “I remember playing boys football and going from seven to 11-a-side – I was told by a coach I wasn’t strong enough or fast enough to make the transition, so I moved to a club where I felt valued and we won the treble that year!”

42

for nominated Erin was omen's Players' W A PF the the Year Player of 2018-19! award for

ERIN SAYS: “I love my job. I’m living the dream and getting paid for it.

Being a footballer means analysing the opposition, working in the gym, injury prevention exercises, tactical sessions, pitch training sessions and playing matches, of course!”

ERIN SAYS: “My highlight was playing at the 2019 Women’s World Cup. My hopes for the future are to continue playing professionally and living the dream – aspiring to win the Champions League and to keep qualifying for major tournaments with Scotland!”

MY ADVICE TO YOU IS…

"Listen to your coaches, work harder than anyone else – no dream is too big!"

My school days!

My heroes!

ERIN SAYS: “My favourite subject at school was PE – I loved running around and being active. Maths was my least favourite, as I’ve always hated crunching numbers. Then after school, I’d kick the ball around with my papa and our dog!”

ERIN SAYS: “Growing up, I used to watch Rangers at Ibrox with my dad.

My football idol was Scotland captain Julie Fleeting – I remember when I was a kid, walking out onto the pitch with her when I was Scotland mascot!”

FLEETING scored 116 goals in 121 games for Scotland!

ERIN SAYS: “In 2016, I was playing for Glasgow City while studying at the University of the West of Scotland, one-and-a-half years into my degree, I was asked if I wanted to train with Chelsea for a few days. They offered me a contract after that!”

My job!

PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALLER

ERIN CUTHBERT joined Chelsea in 2016 – the 23-year-old midfielder is now a first-team regular, a four-time WSL champion and has 43 caps for Scotland!

F O O T B A L L

My top tips!

When I was…

TEN YEARS OLD…

ERIN SAYS: “If you want to become a footballer, three skills are vital – teamwork, communication and determination. You should also practise, practise, practise. Also, don’t get too high on the highs or too low on the lows, and be prepared to make sacrifices in your life to get where you want to be!”

MAN. CITY

Lauren destroys defences. Her gift is creating dangerous opportunities for her City team-mates!

RISING BALLER SPECIAL! DO YOU WANT to become the next big thing and be the player everyone is talking about?

1 SET THE STANDARD!

Keeping your own attitude on point will not only be good for your personal development, but all of your team-mates’, too. Your hard work, positive mindset and performances will make you stand-out and encourage them to raise their game!

2 BIG-GAME PLAYER!

Playing footy is all about enjoyment, but if you want to rise up through the ranks and make a name for yourself, you’ve got to bust out your best tek when it really matters. Get goals, make those match-winning tackles and be your team’s MVP!

3 MAKE MISTAKES!

Wait, what? Nah, we’re serious. Be the player brave enough to try new skills, test a new set-piece technique or attempt that killer pass. If you fail at something, you’ll still learn, so stay confident and keep on trying!

4 BE A SPONGE!

No, not actually, but soak up any information about the game you hear. The learning doesn’t stop when your coach’s final whistle blows at training. Make sure you’re watching lots of footy, listening to advice and finding new inspirations!

THE CHALLENGES!

ATTEND FIVE TRAINING SESSIONS!

STOBBSY SAYS It may look like top ballers were born with their talent, but they all worked super-hard to perfect it!
