JAKARTA - The U-17 Argentine national team player, Agustin Ruberto, was still able to bring the good name of his team despite failing to win third place in the 2023 U-17 World Cup. Ruberto returned home with the Golden Boot award or gold shoes. The award was won by Ruberto after becoming the top scorer in this tournament. He scored the most goals with 8 goals from 7 appearances at the World Cup in this 19th edition. Ruberto's record made him manage to set aside the acquisition of Mali Ibrahim Diarra who scored 7 goals. Then, his fellow colleagues in the Argentine U-17 national team, Claudio Echeverri, Paris Brunner (Germany), Max Moerstedt (Germany) with 5 goals. Meanwhile, Rento Takaoka (Japan), Kaua Elias (Brazil), Amirbek Saidov (Uzbekistan), Mamadou Doumbia (Mali) produced 4 goals; and Rayan (Brazil), Idrissa Gueye (Senegal), Nimfasha Berchimas (United States), Stephano Carillo (Mexico), Joan Tincres (France), Michael Bermudez (Ekuador), Estevao (Brazil), Mahamoud Barry (Mali), Joel Ndala (England) scored 3 goals each. After the defeat to Mali in the race for third place in the 2023 U-17 World Cup, Ruberto seemed hit. This is natural because he felt that he was not optimal in helping the team bring home a bronze medal. Even so, what Ruberto achieved still received appreciation from the coach, Diego Placente. Placente said he was happy with the development and fighting power shown by Agustin Ruberto in this competition. “Oh, of course this makes me happy. Made me very happy tonight, because he has done his job amazingly in this tournament, said the coach. “He (Agustin Ruberto) is a kid who always wants to develop. So I'm very happy that this ( Golden Boot award) happened. I'm happy, because he is going through this tournament well, "” continued placente.

With this positive achievement, it is believed that Ruberto will even grow to become a footballer with big names in world football such as Cesc Fabregas, the top scorer of the 2003 U-17 World Cup. Fabregas became Arsenal and Barcelona's mainstay and became the pillars of the Spanish national team.
