956. The Cup is over
The 2006 World Cup in Germany brought together the best footballers from all over the world, such as Ronaldo, David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, Figo, Carlos, Ballack, Shevchenko, Inzaghi, Nedved, Totti, Piero, Kahn, Van der Sar, Barthez, Owen, Crespo, Nesta, Thuram, Patrick Vieira, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Raul and many other football legends. In addition, this World Cup has also emerged many new stars in future football, such as Messi and Ronaldo, who will dominate football for ten years in the future, and are now young players who are still participating in the World Cup for the first time.
The '06 World Cup not only had many legendary stars, but also gave birth to goals that many fans will remember for a long time. In the opening match between Germany and Costa Rica, Lahm won the ball in the sixth minute, and everyone in the stadium thought he would cross to Klose, but the German teenager hit the goal with a stunning long-range goal, which was also Lahm's first goal at the World Cup. This earth-shattering wave ignited the whole of Germany!
Then there's the Italian midfielder, Andrea Pirlo, who reached his peak at the World Cup in Germany. The Italian midfield maestro has repeatedly been the key man of the game and has been voted Man of the Match in a row. In the group stage against Ghana, Andrea Pirlo also scored his first World Cup goal with a groundbreaking long-range shot.
While those goals drew most of the spotlight, Ronaldo the "Extra-Terregal" remained one of the spotlights. He scored twice against Japan in the final round of the group stage, equalling legendary German goalscorer Gerd Müller's World Cup personal goalscorer.
In the 1/8 finals, Argentina, which is also the favorite to win the South American championship with Brazil, met the North American powerhouse Mexico, and the two sides entered extra time 1-1 in regular time, and in the 98th minute, Argentine Maxi Rodriguez volleyed a curling ball with the outside of his left foot past the goalkeeper and fell into the net, the goal sent Mexico home, and Argentina continued to move forward.
There are too many wonderful goals in this World Cup, but the most memorable is Zinedine Zidane, who dared to kick the spoon penalty in the World Cup final, and his penalty made the whole of France boil!
A quarter of the 32 teams in the '06 World Cup round of 32, such as Angola, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo and Trinidad and Tobago, are experiencing the World Cup finals for the first time. There are also teams from the Czech Republic, Ukraine and Serbia and Montenegro that are playing in the World Cup for the first time since independence, having previously belonged to Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia respectively. The furthest of these teams in this World Cup is Ukraine, who have the "nuclear warhead" Shepchenko, who faced Spain in their opening game and were beaten by the Matadors by four goals. They then regrouped and defeated Saudi Arabia 4-0 and Tunisia 1-0 to finish second in the group and reach the quarterfinals. The Czech Republic, who have one win and two losses, finished third in the group.
Ukraine met Switzerland in the quarter-finals, and both sides did not make a difference in regular time and dragged into extra time to no avail, until Ukraine defeated Switzerland 3-0 in the penalty shoot-out, and reached the quarter-finals to meet the Italian team led by Andrea Pirlo, although Ukraine was eliminated from the competition, their performance left a deep impression on the fans. The 06 World Cup is also the only World Cup trip in the career of Ukrainian legend Andrei Shevchenko......
The youngest team in the 06 World Cup is Ghana, their average age is only 24 years old, and they reached the 1/8 finals where they met the most successful team in the World Cup, "Five Star Brazil", who is also the defending champion, and in the end, the Star-studded Samba Army defeated the young Ghanaians.
There are always some misjudgments from referees in big sports competitions, and the '06 World Cup was no exception. In the quarter-final between Portugal and the Netherlands, the young Dutch golden generation made their debut at the World Cup, and under the leadership of legendary striker Van Nistelrooy, they were full of energy and spirit. Portugal is led by Real Madrid legend Figo, who, like the veteran Ruud van Nistelrooy, is also Figo's last World Cup. Only one minute into the game, Van Bommel violently tackled Cristiano Ronaldo in fancy dribbling, and referee Ivanov immediately showed the first yellow card of the game. This pretty much set the tone for the chaos of this contentious match. In the 6th minute, in the process of a scrum, Blaluz kicked Ronaldo's thigh with an unrestrained kick, and Ronaldo, who was on the World Cup for the first time, fell to the ground in pain. The referee did not hesitate to pull out the second yellow card of the game.
Portugal's first shot then found the Netherlands in the open, and Maniche dodged the defender and fired into the net to give Portugal a 1-0 lead.
Ronaldo, who lasted for 20 minutes, couldn't hold on any longer and was finally replaced, and the Portuguese big brothers saw it in their eyes and held back their strength to stand up for their younger brother. And the subsequent arena was transformed into a "brawl field". Deco and Costinha of the Portuguese team, Blarouz and Van Bronckhorst of the Netherlands were sent off with two yellows and one red. It was a violent contest with tackles, fake throws, overheads and even delays, verbal altercations and handballs. In the whole game, the busiest person was the referee Ivanov from Russia, who gave a total of 16 yellow cards and 4 red cards, setting a record of shame in the history of the World Cup. The score remained 1-0 until the end of the match, and Portugal also reached the quarter-finals.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was not seriously injured, then returned, and Portugal faced David Beckham's England team in the next quarter-finals. The two sides drew in regulation time and dragged it into extra time and then to a penalty shoot-out, which ended with England falling to the penalty shoot-out and Portugal reaching the last four of the World Cup for the first time in 40 years. In this game, Rooney did not play well and was sent off with a red card. And Beckham tried his last bit of energy to be substituted early due to injury, Beckham, who was sitting on the bench, shed unwilling tears, he cried so sadly, how he wanted to fight for the team...... But England said goodbye to the World Cup in the way they are most familiar with.
Germany, Italy, France and Portugal are the final four teams with their own thrilling World Cup stories. Hosts Germany are on the road to a resurgence after a nightmarish Euro 04 experience, with the performances of Ballack and Lahm in the World Cup being spectacular, with the Blues keeping hosts out of the final against Italy in the semi-finals.
After beating the Netherlands and England, Portugal could have hoped to match or even surpass the glorious Portugal side of the 60s of the 20th century. However, he met the Gallic Roosters led by Zidane in the semi-finals, which was also the first time that the young Ronaldo faced Zidane. Portugal started the game strongly, but that advantage didn't last long, with the French's experience once again being their winning weapon. France gradually controlled the tempo of the game at their feet, with Zinedine Zidane once again playing a decisive role. In the end, France won 1-0 over Portugal to reach the 06 World Cup final thanks to Zinedine Zidane's penalty, and the Gallic Roosters will travel to Berlin, where Italy is waiting for them......
The final was held in Berlin as scheduled, and just six minutes into the game, France took the lead thanks to Zinedine Zidane's spoon penalty. Twenty minutes later, Andrea Pirlo headed in a pinpoint corner and Materazzi equalised with a header. Unexpectedly, when the game was about to end and entered the penalty shootout, Zidane was suddenly sent off with a red card for Materazzi on the head, and Zidane and the Hercules Cup passed by from within reach, and a generation of midfield masters left the field in disgrace...... In the final thrilling penalty shoot-out, Andrea Pirlo took the first penalty and converted it in one fell swoop, and then Grosso became Italy's hero again, scoring the winning penalty and finally Italy beat France on penalties, and the Azzurri reached the top of the world for the first time in 24 years.
It's hard to say which World Cup is the best, everyone has their own ideas and I think the 2006 World Cup was different. There have been so many great stars involved in this World Cup, some in their twilight years, others in their fledgling years, and we were lucky to see Zidane's shocking spoon penalty.
In addition to this, there are many small details that are not widely known in this World Cup.
Happy birthday to Maldini, for example.
"Penalty, penalty, penalty, Grosso has made a contribution! Grosso has contribution! Don't give Australia any chance. The great Italian left-back! He carried on the glorious tradition of Italy. Facchetti, Cabrini, Maldini at this moment of soul possession "What is Maldini's birthday, it is estimated that most people can't say, but you must remember the game where Grosso was possessed by a soul.
Mr. Huang Jianxiang's weird and passionate commentary is so incredible, many people remember Grosso's soul possession, but forget Mr. Huang's hysterical birthday wishes after Totti scored the penalty, he was not a commentator that day, he was a fan, a die-hard fan of Italy - the victory belongs to Italy, to Grosso, to Cannavaro, to Zambrotta, to Buffon, to Maldini, to all those who love Italian football!
Since then, the passion has ceased.
Bei Ying is gone, and the boy is no more.
On June 30, 1998, Beckham made a long pass, and Owen took the ball and ran for a long distance...... You can remember this image vividly. That year, Beckham was 23 years old, and that year, Owen was 19 years old.
In 2006, when the former golden boy rolled out of the sideline, when Xiaobei hid his face and cried bitterly after leaving the field, their World Cup was over, the golden era of the England team was over, and the youth memory of a generation was over. How many people entered the football world from the World Cup in 98, and how many people became England fans because of Beckham, just like Pele was to the 70s, Maradona was to the 80s, and Owen Beckham England is also a generation of memories about the World Cup, about football, and about their youth.
Can't say goodbye.
The Czech Iron Man may have been really tired when he got down on one knee – it was his only World Cup.
The moment the Lion King sent a note to Lehmann, all the grudges were gone with the wind – it was his last World Cup.
When Ibrahimova Adero Sikichech said goodbye, we didn't expect it to be their first and final World Cup. In 2006, it was the experience of first love with the World Cup, but it was also a World Cup that waved goodbye.
2006, was a gorgeous turn for the Germans
After the '98 World Cup, German football fell into a slump, and the 2000 European Championship reached its bottom, and many people were skeptical about what a German team led by Jurgen Klinsmann, a rookie coach, could achieve on home soil. However, Klinsmann gave the world a big surprise, under his reforms, the German team changed the rigorous and even slightly dull style of play in the past few decades, and turned gorgeously into one of the most ornamental teams, what is even more rare is that this style is not a passing thing, after Klinsmann left, Loew continued to sublimate such a team style, so to speak, 2006 was not a revival of German football, but a real nirvana.
Two teenagers.
In 2006, Portugal's No.17 and Argentina's No.19 each scored their first goals in the world, and at that time they stood Figo and Riquelme in front of them.
……
In 2006, the 18th World Cup came to an end.
In just one month, there was too much joy and too much pain. For the athletes, it may be the game of their lifetime, and for the fans, they share the joys and sorrows of the players.
Zhou Fangyuan, as a person who has come over, is one of the few people who is very calm.
The ending is obvious, Zidane knocked down Materazzi head-on, can he stop it? It is really difficult to say that it is difficult, and it is okay to say that it is okay, with his current net worth, if he finds the French team as the chairman of the group and says that he wants to see Zidane as a fan, it is estimated that the leader of the French team wants to give face. When you see Zidane, tell him what may happen, and don't say too much, just say that Materazzi's mouth is very smelly, maybe he will greet your family on the field, whether Zidane can listen to it or not, maybe it will be able to change?
But Zhou Fangyuan did not do so.
If Zidane is replaced by Ronaldo, it may be a reminder, but if it is Zidane, then forget it......
He wasn't obsessed with Zidane anyway.
Not only would he not remind, but took this opportunity to find a few spinach companies that were considered powerful in Europe, and placed a few orders seemingly at random.
A mature man will take advantage of all kinds of opportunities to benefit himself, and he will not do anything that harms himself and others.
So after the World Cup, Zhou Fangyuan easily won millions of euros. He doesn't play much, in fact, if he really wants to place a big order, if nothing else, he can't just smash the dealer, but the impact will definitely not laugh. There's no need for that, read the pleasure of the small reading, read the hurt body, play two casually, anyway, the spinach company can cut wool from somewhere else, and cut some pocket money from them by the way, it's not too much, right?
After the competition, everyone's life returned to normal, except for the grandparents and grandparents who stayed at the winery and planned to continue their vacation here for a period of time, everyone else took the plane and returned to China.
