But while you're anticipating watching yet another World Cup tournament, some superstar players are anticipating playing in their very first World Cup.

但是，當你期待觀再次觀看世界盃時，有一些超級明星球員正期待參加他們的第一次世界盃。

You actually might be a little surprised by the caliber of players who will be playing a World Cup game for the first time in Qatar.

你可能會對首次在卡達參加世界盃的球員的能力感到有些驚訝。

Of course, these names are still subject to unforeseen circumstances like injuries.

當然，這些球員仍然會出現傷害等意外的情況。

But here are 20 superstars who will be making World Cup debuts this year.

但接下來要介紹將在今年首次出賽世界盃的 20 位超級足球巨星。

Number 1, Virgil van Dijk

第一位，Virgil van Dijk

He's 31 and easily one of the best center-backs in the world, but Virgil has never played a World Cup match.

他今年 31 歲，稱得上是世界上最厲害的中後衛之一，但 Virgil van Dijk 從未踢過一場世界盃。

In fact, he's never featured in a major international tournament.

事實上，他從未在大型的國際比賽中出賽過。

Crazy, right?

很誇張，對吧？

He made his debut for the Netherlands in 2015, but was not able to help them qualify for Euro 2016 or the 2018 World Cup.

他在 2015 年首次代表荷蘭出賽，但未能幫助隊伍獲得 2016 年歐洲盃或 2018 年世界盃的參賽資格。

The Flying Dutchmen, however, qualified for Euro 2020, but he was still recovering from his long-term injury, so he didn't join the team.

這位傳奇球員層獲得了 2020 年歐洲盃的參賽資格，但他當時仍在治療長期的受傷，因此他沒有加入球隊出賽。

If nothing happens between now and November, the Liverpool defender will be captaining his national team to his first-ever major tournament.

如果從現在到 11 月之間沒有任何意外發生，這位利物浦後衛將帶領他的國家隊參加他的第一次重大賽事。

Will he be able to win it in his first attempt?

他是否能在第一次出賽就贏得比賽呢？

We'll have to wait to find out.

我們將等到比賽開打後得知。

Having won the Premier League and the Champions League, van Dijk is one of the most successful players in their 30s who'll be making their World Cup debuts this year.

在贏得英超聯賽和歐冠冠軍之後，van Dijk 是 30 多歲球員中最成功的球員之一，他將在今年首次亮相世界盃。

But there is one even more successful player on our list today.

但今天在我們的名單上還有一位更成功的球員。

Can you guess who it is?

你能猜到是誰嗎？

Take a stab at it; you'll find the answer later in the video.

猜看看，稍後會在影片中揭曉。

2, Darwin Nunez

第二位，Darwin Nunez

The 2022 World Cup will also be the first major tournament for Darwin Nunez.

2022 年世界盃也將是 Darwin Nunez 的第一場大型賽事。

The 23-year-old just burst into the major leagues not long ago, making his debut for Uruguay in 2019.

這位 23 歲的球員不久前剛剛加入足球聯盟，於 2019 年首次代表烏拉圭出賽。

But he missed out on the Copa America 2021 because of a knee injury.

但由於膝蓋受傷，他錯過了 2021 年的美洲盃。

If he stays fit, he'll surely make his World Cup debut in Qatar.

如果他能保持健康狀態的話，他肯定會在卡達首次出戰世界盃。

3, Alphonso Davies

第三位，Alphonso Davies

We're pretty sure Alphonso Davies didn't dream of making his World Cup debut until 2026, when his country will be playing host.

我們很確定，直到 2026 年，Alphonso Davies 的國家成為世足主辦國之前，他並沒有期望會首次出賽世界盃。

Before this year, Canada had only ever qualified for the World Cup once, and that was in 1986.

在今年之前，加拿大僅獲得過一次世界盃參賽資格，是在 1986 年。

But the North American country shocked the world by making it to the 2022 tournament in Qatar,

但是這個北美國家將出戰 2022 年的卡達世足賽，這震驚了全世界，

and you just know that Davies will be the first name on their squad list.

而 Davies 將是他們球員名單上的第一個順位。

Number 4, Christian Pulisic

第四位，Christian Pulisic

The USMNT will be going to the World Cup for the first time since 2014, and they'll be going with a new captain, Christian Pulisic.

自 2014 年以來，這是 USMNT（美國國家男子足球隊） 首次參加世界盃，他們將與新隊長 Christian Pulisic 一起出賽。

The 24-year-old Chelsea winger will be making his World Cup debut in Qatar,

這位 24 歲的切爾西足球俱樂部的邊鋒將首次亮相於世界盃，

and the entire country will have their eyes on Captain America throughout the tournament.

在整個比賽期間，美國人民都將注意這位「美國隊長」。

Number 5, Mason Mount

第五位，Mason Mount

Mount, just like his teammate, Pulisic, will be making his World Cup debut in Qatar.

Mount 和他的隊友 Pulisic 一樣，將在首次亮相於卡達世界盃。

England have a truckload of talent in every area of the pitch,

英格蘭在場上各個位置的都有一卡車有能力的球員，

but he looks like he's a staple in Southgate's team, and you expect that he'll be in that final shortlist going to Qatar in November.

但看樣子，Mount 會是教練索斯蓋特所屬球隊的主力球員，他預計會出現在 11 月前往卡達的最終候選名單中。

Number 6, Jack Grealish

第六位， Jack Grealish

You also expect Southgate to include British football's record signing, Jack Grealish, in the squad going to Qatar to represent England.

你也會希望教練索斯蓋特將英國足球創紀錄簽約金的球員 Jack Grealish 納入代表英格蘭前往卡達出戰的陣容。

If he does, it'd be the 27-year-old's first-ever World Cup outing.

如果他在名單中的話，那將是這位 27 歲的球員首次參加世界盃。

Number 7, Reece James and other English Youngsters

第七位，Reece James 還有其他年輕的英國選手

To be honest, quite a number of the England squad will be going to the World Cup for the first time this year.

其實，今年英格蘭隊中有不少人將首次參加世界盃。

Reece James, who is almost certain to be in England's starting 11, is one of those players.

可以肯定 Reece James 會在英格蘭先發 11 人隊伍。

A few more English players who might be making World Cup debuts this year are Declan Rice, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden, Ben Chilwell, and a couple others.

今年可能首次亮相世界盃的英國球員還有 Declan Rice、 Trent Alexander-Arnold、Bukayo Saka、Phil Foden、Ben Chilwell 和其他幾位球員。

Number 8, Kai Havertz

第八位，Kai Havertz

The man who scored the goal that won Chelsea the Champions League in 2021 is sure to make his first-ever World Cup appearance in Qatar this November,

這位為切爾西足球俱樂部贏得 2021 年歐冠冠軍的進球的球員肯定會在今年 11 月首次亮相卡達世界盃，

and we will all be looking out for him.

我們將對他拭目以待。

Number 9, Leroy Sane

第九位，Leroy Sane

You also expect Sane to feature for Germany in Qatar,

Sane 也預計代表德國出戰卡達世界盃，

but, surprisingly, it will be his first-ever World Cup tournament, despite having been a superstar for about 5 years now.

但是，令人驚訝的是，儘管已經成為超級巨星大約五年了，這卻是他第一次參加世界盃比賽。

He made his international debut in 2015, but he was dropped from the final 2018 World Cup squad for Julian Brandt.

他在 2015 年首次亮相國際比賽，但在 2018 年世界盃決賽中輸給 Julian Brandt。

This time around, though, we're pretty certain Sane will be getting in well ahead of Brandt.

不過，這一次， Sane 確定將遠遠領先於 Brandt。

Number 10, Frenkie de Jong

第十位，Frenkie de Jong

Frenkie de Jong made his international debut in 2018,

Frenkie de Jong 在 2018 年首次參加國際比賽，

but seeing as the Netherlands failed to qualify for the World Cup that year,

但有鑑於荷蘭當年未能晉級世界盃，

in Qatar is where the Barcelona midfielder will be making his first-ever World Cup appearance.

卡達世界盃將是巴塞隆納足球俱樂部的中場首次亮相於世界盃。

Number 11, Matthijs de Ligt

第十一位，Matthijs de Ligt

Here's another Dutchman who'll be making his World Cup debut this year.

他是另一位將在今年首次亮相於世界盃的荷蘭人。

You expect the former Ajax captain to be one of the first names in defense for Louis van Gaal.

前阿賈克斯足球俱樂部的隊長將成為教練 Louis van Gaal 防守的第一人選。

Number 12, Dayot Upamecano

第十二位，Dayot Upamecano

The 23-year-old will almost certainly be making his World Cup debut with France in Qatar.

這位 23 歲的球員很高機率會隨法國隊首次亮相於卡達世界盃。

13, Aymeric Laporte

第十三位，Aymeric Laporte

Laporte is 28 years old, and this year will be his first time playing a World Cup game.

Laporte 今年 28 歲，今年將是他第一次參加世界盃比賽。

He's been playing senior team football for a decade now, but was always snubbed by France.

他已經踢了十年的職業足球，但總是被法國冷落。

So, last year, he switched allegiance to Spain and immediately got a call-up.

因此在去年，他轉而效忠西班牙，並立即接到了征召。

He helped the team reach the semi final of the Euros in 2021,

他幫助球隊打進了 2021 年歐洲盃準決賽，

so you'd expect that he'll be selected to go to the World Cup in November.

所以他預期會被選中參加 11 月的世界盃。

Number 14, Alvaro Morata

第十四位， Alvaro Morata

Morata was left out of Spain's World Cup squad in 2018 amidst his struggles with Chelsea back then.

Morata 在 2018 年與切爾西足球俱樂部的爭議中被排除在西班牙世界盃陣容之外。

But he has since redefined himself, helping Spain go all the way to the semi finals of Euro 2020,

但此後他重新定義了自己，幫助西班牙一路殺入 2020 年歐洲盃準決賽，

and becoming the country's all-time Euros top scorer in the process.

並成為該國歷史上最厲害的歐洲最佳射手。

With his recent form, especially with the national team, we're pretty sure he won't be left out of the squad going to Qatar in November.

以他最近的狀態，尤其是在國家隊的表現，我們很確定他不會被排除在 11 月前往卡達的陣容之外。

Number 15, Edouard Mendy

第十五位，Edouard Mendy

Mendy made his debut for Senegal in November 2018, so he slightly missed out on a call-up to Russia.

Mendy 在 2018 年 11 月才首次為塞內加爾隊出賽，所以他以些微差距錯過了被徵召對抗俄羅斯的機會。

But considering his rise since he joined Chelsea in 2020,

但考慮到他自 2020 年加盟切爾西足球俱樂部以來的崛起，

you can bet that if he's fit, he'll not only go for his first-ever World Cup this year, he'll probably even play every single game for Senegal.

如果他維持身體健康，他不僅會首次參加今年的世界盃，他甚至可能會為塞內加爾踢每一場比賽。

Number 16, Dusan Vlahovic

第十六位，Dusan Vlahovic

Vlahovic's breakthrough season was the 20/21 season, and he has been on the up ever since.

Vlahovic 的突破賽季是 2020/2021 賽季，從那以後他一直在竄升。

He's almost certain to partner with Mitrovic up front for Serbia in Qatar.

他很大機率將在在卡達的比賽中與 Mitrovic 搭檔擔任塞爾維亞的前鋒。

Number 17, Federico Valverde

第十七位，Federico Valverde

The La Liga Player of the Month for September is yet another player who'll be making his World Cup debut this year.

這位 9 月的西甲月度最佳球員是另一位將在今年首次亮相世界盃的球員。

The 24-year-old is a superstar already, and you expect that he'll be very important for Uruguay in his first World Cup tournament.

這位 24 歲的球員已經是一名超級巨星，預期將在他第一次對戰烏拉圭的世界盃比賽中扮演重要角色。

Number 18, Vini Jr.

第十八位，Vini Jr.

Vini's move to Madrid in 2018 was not enough to earn him a call-up to Russia,

維尼在 2018 年轉到皇家馬德里足球俱樂部並不足以讓他獲得徵召對戰俄羅斯，

but considering how much he has improved since then, particularly in the 21/22 season,

但自那以後他進步了很多，尤其是在 2021/2022 賽季，

he will most definitely be representing the most successful national team at the World Cup in Qatar.

他肯定會代表最成功的國家隊參加卡達世界杯。

Number 19, Pedri and other Barcelona Youngsters

第十九位，Pedri 和其他巴塞隆納足球俱樂部的年輕球員

Pedri, Gavi, Ferran Torres, Eric Garcia, and perhaps Ansu Fati will all be expected to make their World Cup debuts for Spain in Qatar.

Pedri、Gavi、Ferran Torres、Eric Garcia，也許還有 Ansu Fati，都被預期代表西班牙首次出戰世界盃。

Number 20, Gareth Bale

第二十位，Gareth Bale

You knew we were going to end with a bang.

你一定知道我們會轟轟烈烈的做結尾。

Remember we asked you to guess a player in his 30s more successful than van Dijk who will be playing in the World Cup for the first time this year?

還記得我們讓你猜一個比 van Dijk 更成功，將在今年首次參加世界盃的 30 多歲的球員嗎？、

Yes, that player is Gareth Bale.

沒錯，這個球員就是 Gareth Bale。

He's a 1-time Premier League Player of the Season, 2-time PFA Players' Player of the Year, 3-time La Liga winner, and 5-time UEFA Champions League winner,

他是 1 次英超賽季最佳球員、2 次 PFA 年度最佳球員、3 次西甲冠軍和 5 次歐洲冠軍聯賽冠軍，

but this will be his first time ever playing in a World Cup, and he was instrumental in making it all happen.

但這將是他第一次參加世界杯，而他很努力地讓這件事成真。

It was his goal from a free kick against Ukraine in the playoffs that secured a place in the 2022 World Cup for Wales.

因為他在季後賽對戰烏克蘭時踢進了自由球，為威爾斯足球代表隊贏得了 2022 年世界盃的席位。

He'll now be expected to captain the first Wales national team to qualify for the World Cup since 1958.

現在他有望成為自 1958 年以來第一支獲得世界盃參賽資格的威爾斯足球代表隊的隊長。

Such an incredible feat⏤one that even Ryan Giggs could never achieve.

如此驚人的壯舉即使是 Ryan Giggs 也無法達成。

Of these players who'll be making debuts in Qatar, who are your eyes on?

在這些將在卡達首次亮相的球員中，你看好誰呢？

Who do you expect will make the biggest statement?

你認為誰會造成轟動呢？
