Typically, no. But when the argument for paying a player less is based on the risk associated with a small sample size (2 seasons), more data can be helpful.
Adding a strong performance at the World Cup, against the best in the world, would surely help cement the fact that he is indeed an elite player (not that it should be disputed in this case) and should be paid accordingly.
