Summary
This opinion piece by PVC discusses how star players arrive at World Cups already established as global icons, contrasting with the past when World Cups were the stage that created superstars. The author uses Vinicius Junior as a contemporary example, noting he is the first Brazilian star this century who doesn't compete to be the last to enter training — that title still belongs to Neymar. The piece draws comparisons to past Brazilian teams (Ronaldo vs Ronaldinho in 2006) and current French stars (Mbappé, Dembélé, Olise), arguing that modern stars are forged through Champions League seasons and merely confirmed at the World Cup.

Em 2006 havia uma disputa silenciosa entre Ronaldo e Ronaldinho para saber quem era a estrela que entrava no gramado por último.
Os grandes da Copa são mais do que conhecidos e a fama dos craques pop stars se cria durante seguidas temporadas de Champions League.
Apenas se confirma no Mundial. No passado, era diferente.
