Casadei firmly holds the title of Top scorer at the U20 World Cup

Cesare Casadei is likely to become the second Italian player to win the World U20 Championship top scorer. Until the semi-finals, the Chelsea-owned midfielder had 6 goals, one more than second-placed Marcos Leonardo (Brazil) but no longer had the opportunity to improve the achievement because Brazil was eliminated.

Similarly, with 4 goals, both Oscar Cortes (Colombia) and Justin Cuero (Ecuador) have stopped. The players who scored 3 goals, including Cade Cowell (USA), Alan Virginius (France), Alejo Veliz (Argentina), Tomas Angel (Colombia) were all unable to play more in the tournament.

Thus, only a big mutation will change the title of the Golden Shoe U20 World Cup 2023. Otherwise, Casadei will follow in the footsteps of Riccardo Orsolini (5 goals, 2017) to become the second Italian player to win the tournament's top scorer award.

Casadei is one of the biggest stars in the tournament, contributing to the decision to bring Italy to the semi-finals after scoring a brace against Brazil, 2 against the Dominican Republic, a goal in the 1/8 round match against England and most recently a goal. opened the scoring against Colombia in the quarterfinals.

6 goals is more than expected for a midfielder like Casadei. But of course he will not stop when Italy still needs the goals of this 20-year-old star for the goal of reaching the final.

6 goals: Cesare Casadei (Italy)

5 goals: Marcos Leonardo (Brazil)

4 goals: Oscar Cortes (Colombia), Justin Cuero (Ecuador)

3 goals: Cade Cowell (USA), Alan Virginius (France), Alejo Veliz (Argentina), Tomas Angel (Colombia)
