The Palace Fan 3,402 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 For those that don't know, Salvatore Schillaci made his Italian debut in March 1990. He then made his competitive debut at Italia '90. At this tournament, he then went on to win the golden boot. Now, whilst such a similar achievement seems very unlikely, the likes of Marcos Alonso, Wissam Ben Yedder, Anderson Talisca and Lautaro Martinez all could make their national debuts this week. Could they become icons in their respective countries by the end of the tournament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 8,185 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I think Wissam Ben Yedder is a very good striker and with the right service, I can imagine him having a good tournament with France. I think he's a hell of a lot more likely to win the golden boot as a national team debutant this year than Marcos Alonso, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Schillaci is just the most incredible story I could think of for a debutant. There's plenty of other ways players can become national heros.

Spike 5,103 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Squillaci on the other hand was good cunt for anyone that hates Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 A slightly related note, a goal at a World Cup for Jamie Vardy makes his story of his rise from full-time chav to where he is now more remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
