Benzema has been labelled as one of the brightest hopes of French football and is clearly a striker with great predatory instincts.
As with fellow rising star, Samir Nasri, Benzema has also attracted comparisons to Zinedine Zidane, but this is more to do with the fact he is a supremely talented French player of Algerian descent rather than his style of play. Benzema currently leads the goalscoring charts in France with 12 goals to his name already, and has three goals from eight appearances at international level.
It’s widely expected that Benzema will go to Euro 2008 with France next summer, as he hopes to follow in the footsteps of his idol, Ronaldo, to eventually become the greatest striker in the world.

(Age: 17, FC Barcelona, Striker, Spain)
Commonly known as ‘Bojan’ rather than his Serbian originated surname, the latest young prodigy to come out of Barcelona’s youth ranks has forged a huge reputation for himself over the past year.
It’s widely reported that Bojan scored a frightening 961 goals in seven years with Barcelona’s youth team from when he first joined in 1999, breaking all sorts of records in the process. However, it’s his slight frame rather than his short stature which is likely to pose a few problems in the first few years of his career. It’s a credit to Bojan’s ability that Frank Riijkard has put faith in the 17-year-old several times this season, even keeping Brazilian superstar, Ronaldinho, out of the Barcelona starting line-up on several occasions.
Bojan has made 12 appearances for the Barcelona first team so far this season, and there’s talk of Spain giving the youngster a call-up for Euro 2008.

After the success of the 2006 World Cup, the demand for Germany’s three games against Poland (June 8th) and Croatia (June 12th) in the southern Austrian city of Klagenfurt, plus the clash with hosts Austria in Vienna (June 16th), has gone through the roof.
After the euphoria of hosting the World Cup, where Germany finished third, their fans are clamoring to get tickets to see their heroes in action for the June 7th to 29th tournament with the final to be held in Vienna.
The German fans seem to think their team can go all the way in this championships after the superb run in, the previous world cup. You can blame them to feel that way as they do very well in the highest stage.

(Age: 20, Olympique Marseille, Attacking Midfield, France)
“The new Zinedine Zidane”. It’s a tag which was originally placed on Bruno Cheyrou by ex-Liverpool manager, Gerard Houllier, and we all know just how wrong that turned out to be… However, unlike Cheyrou, Samir Nasri actually seems to possess many of the attributes which the legendary balding Frenchman had.
At the tender age of 20, Nasri has already become a firm favorite with the Marseille fans, but they understand that like former teammate, Frank Ribery, Nasri’s talents may be a bit too special for the French outfit to hold onto. The playmaker’s performances for Marseille and France have alerted the attention of several top European sides, including Spanish giants Real Madrid. With France still searching for a worthy successor to the position Zidane made his own, they just may have produced a youngster with the skill and ability to ensure France will challenge for the Euro 2008 title.
The only question left for Samir Nasri to answer, is whether or not he has the same sense of occasion as the great Zidane.
