One such meeting in South Korea featured Frenkie de Jong, Alejandro Balde, Gavi, and new signing Marcus Rashford. The first question they were asked was about their football idols.
Rashford: "Wayne Rooney."
Gavi: "Isco."

Next question: which player would you like to play with?
De Jong: "Johan Cruyff."
Balde: "Messi."
