It was a moment that summed up the
crushing expectation of international
tournament football.
Brazil and Chile were locked at two apiece in
their penalty shootout at the 2014 World Cup,
with a quarter-final place at stake. Up stepped Neymar,
team talisman and tournament poster boy, to take the
decisive spot-kick. Even those watching it all unfold on
TV could feel the pressure radiating through the
screen. What it must have been like to contend
with the enormity of that moment, then,
is almost unimaginable.
This is when sport, and particularly football, is
just plain weird. In what other walk of life do we
ask teenagers and twentysomethings to bear
the burden of national expectation? That’s a job
for politicians, not players. And yet it happens
every couple of years and we treat it like it’s
no big deal. Clearly, though, it is.
Next up to shoulder this load is Paul Pogba at Euro 2016.
Like Neymar, he is the hosts’ star player and, as a result, the
tournament’s poster boy. If that wasn’t enough, on each of
the previous two occasions France won a major tournament on
home soil they were carried to victory by an attacking midfielder
who happened to play for Juventus: Michel Platini at Euro 84 and
Zinedine Zidane at France 98. As if there wasn’t enough pressure
already, Pogba has to live up to hype and history. Will he rise to
the occasion or be crushed by it all? Turn to p36 to find out.
One last thing to add before Euro 2016 kicks off:
good luck to England, Wales,
Northern Ireland and the
Republic of Ireland. We don’t
know what is going to
happen, but we’re certain
it will be memorable.
