Footballing rivalries often go through a golden era, where each game seems to be more entertaining than the last, but this was more than that. Beyond the matches, the goals, the red cards, the world class talent on show, El Clasico reshaped so much of what we enjoy in modern football today. For a three year period, football was taken to a whole new level, from La Liga to the UEFA Champions League, and has never been the same since. This is the how El Clásico changed football forever. 4 generational talents you can’t ignore Here we go! FourFourTwo writer Joe is in the studio to brings us the first edition of his monthly series ’The Boy’s A Bit Special.’ With so much up and coming talent in world football, Joe breaks down which players you need to keep an eye on in the coming months and just how they are making their mark at such a young age. From an Arsenal youth prospect, to Liverpool’s youngest every player, here are the four wonderkids set to define the next generation. How good actually was Romelu Lukaku? Romelu Lukaku: from Anderlecht wonderkid to Premier League star, Inter Milan hero, and Belgium’s greatest-ever goalscorer. This is the story of how Lukaku went from mocked to magnificent — a striker rebuilt through setbacks, goals and redemption. Featuring his time at Chelsea, Manchester United, Inter Milan, Roma, Napoli, and Belgium’s golden generation, Matt explores every chapter of his incredible journey. The power, the pressure, the perception — and the truth behind it all. How Harry Maguire won a new contract at Man United Harry Maguire has lived through one of the most polarizing careers in modern football. From becoming the world’s most expensive defender at Manchester United to facing relentless mockery, boos, and even his own fans turning on him, Maguire’s story is one of resilience against all odds. And yet, when England needed him most - at the 2018 World Cup, Euro 2020, and beyond - he stood tall, delivering on the biggest stages. A journey from ridicule to redemption, and after his goal v Liverpool, don’t say we didn’t tell you so. Harry Maguire: Respect the name. When a footballers career doesn’t make sense For years he was ridiculed, the butt of jokes and conspiracies about money laundering, memed relentlessly for his poor performance. But look closer at the career of Álvaro Morata, you’ll find a resilient, determined, top quality striker who has had a career at both international and club level that most players would die for. From trophies to crucial goals, hate to redemption, this is the story of Alvaro Morata. Respect The Name. Dele: The story that football got wrong From PFA awards and being England’s next golden boy - to years offset by injuries, criticism and personal struggles, rarely have so many highs and lows been packed into such a relatively short career. The undeniable truth, though, is that Dele reached levels of footballing brilliance that shouldn’t be forgotten, regardless of where his potential could’ve taken him. This is ’Respect The Name’ episode two: Dele. Is This Liverpool’s Most Disrespected Striker Of All Time Respect The Name is our new FourFourTwo series looking at some of the best players whose careers are often remembered for the wrong reasons. Episode 1, is for Emile Heskey. For years, his name was a punchline, even after building one of the most underrated careers in English football. From breaking through at Leicester, to leading the line for Liverpool’s treble-winning side, to earning over 60 England caps, Heskey’s story is far richer than the highlight reels suggest...
