Ahead of the 2018 edition FIFA world cup which is just less a month away which and will kick off from 15 June 2018 in Russia, here is  a carrier journey for a player who have spent hours of lives at football ground for entertaining fans around the world . This player who have left an unforgettable mark on the World Cup will be taking his final duck on the global football carnival in Russia.

Carlos Vela, Mexico team-mate

Having retired from club football in April, bowing out at Atlas where he embarked on his professional journey 22 years ago, Russia 2018 will actually be the final chance to take pleasure in the man known as El Kaiser. It is noted that Marquez will equal the all-time record of appearing at five World Cups set by fellow citizen Antonio Carbajal and Germany’s Lothar Matthaus.

In reality, he could have been setting a new record, as he made his debut in 1997, only to miss out on France 1998 as a 19-year-old. However, when he did tardily make his arrival he was sporting the captain’s armband at Korea/Japan 2002, leading him to grow to be the first player to captain his team at four consecutive World Cups.

World Cup debut: Mexico 1-0 Croatia, 3 June 2002

Tournaments: 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014

Appearances so far: 16

Memorable World Cup moment: Scoring the equalizer in the opening game of South Africa 2010.
