EFL Stories: A Chilean Superstar, Brazilian Adventure, and a World Cup Winner

Ben Brereton Diaz, a Stoke-on-Trent native, has become a sensation in Chile, earning 42 caps and scoring 10 goals since his call-up in 2021. 'Every time I go there, I really enjoy it,' he said, reflecting on the incredible support he receives. Despite Chile's failure to qualify for the last two World Cups, Brereton Diaz remains optimistic about the team's future, citing the emergence of young talent. Meanwhile, Terry Devlin has been a standout player for Portsmouth, crediting his hard work and consistency for his impressive performance this season. Jamal Lewis, who made a temporary switch to Sao Paulo in Brazil, recalls his experience as 'a breath of fresh air,' although it was cut short due to injury. Imran Louza, now Watford's captain, has been leading by example on the pitch, while learning to balance his natural leadership with the more audible aspects of the role. World Cup winner Steven Nzonzi fondly remembers his time on the pitch during the 2018 final, where he replaced N'Golo Kante and helped France secure their victory.
