Julian Green is pretty similar. Ran off the bench at 18 in the champions league for bayern and was given a seat on a 23 man WC roster just to secure his commitment. Hits a pure luck goal for the US.

But like Zelalem, Adu, and Busio, all the skill in the world doesn’t matter when you move with speed and agility of a country club pickle ball champion.

I don’t think Green got the same hype as zelalem. I feel like Green’s ceiling was laid bare before too much hype could build.

Meh, one of them got called into the World Cup.

The hype for Green was real.
