International soccer fans from all the world usually asks who is going to be the best player of the world once Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo decide to quit. Neymar seems to be the one in charge of carrying that flag from the next generation, but there are some other young players who will be top in the future.

There is one in particular who is learning from very near what Messi and Cristiano teach him. He is Francisco Antonio Machado Mota Castro, most known as Trincao. The winger from FC Barcleona is just 20 years old and is having his first chances with the first team coached by Ronald Koeman.


Trincao is learning a lot of the moves of Messi, who has transformed into the greatest teacher of the young talented players of Barça, as Ansu Fati and Riqui Puig as well. But, as if having Messi as a “father” was not enough, Trincao also is learning from Cristiano Ronaldo.


As they are both Portuguese, they meet in the national team. CR7 is Portugal captain and Trincao has recently received his second call from Fernando Santos. With Messi and Cristiano as teachers, Trincao has a great future assured and maybe one day he could be expensive than Neymar and Kylian Mbappé together.
