Chapter 430: A Song for Myself
After Euro '96, Bierhoff quickly became a world-class striker, especially with his famous headers, which made him a league of his own, because it's really hard to find a player who is better at heading than him.
With a height of 1.91m, Bierhoff can easily get to the landing spot without jumping too much, his strong body allows him to stay in the air for long periods of time and make the ball more powerful.
In addition, Bierhoff has an innate sensitivity to where to see and where to go, which allows him to score with a header in any difficult situation.
Despite his relatively monotonous and unpretty, Bierhoff was surprisingly efficient, scoring 27 goals in 97/98, the best in Serie A for almost half a century, a record that was not surpassed by Toney until the 06/07 season.
Therefore, in those years, his opponents called Bierhoff a "monster in the air", and the media awarded him the reputation of "the world's first golden head".
Du Xinghe has watched the ball for so many years, and he has seen an endless stream of stars with outstanding ball skills, but he has never seen a second one who can do his heading kung fu as miraculous as Erhoff.
Someone else is a threat with his foot from outside the penalty area, and Bierhoff is also a threat with a header from outside the box, and this is the world's number one gold head.
However, not long after liking Bierhoff, another even more exaggerated player completely conquered Du Xinghe's heart.
Before this player appeared. The position of the number one idol in Du Xinghe's heart has always been occupied by Baggio, and those other stars, although he also likes them, can't shake Baggio's status in his heart. After all, Baggio was his first love in football.
After this person appeared, Du Xinghe fell in love with football.
This player made Du Xinghe understand that football can still be played like this!
Just like encountering the works of Bach or Beethoven in music, the impact of this player on the court on Du Xinghe is completely shocking.
In the upper plane, in the field of music. gave Du Xinghe this kind of shock. There are a lot of masters.
But in the field of football, there are only two Brazilians who have given Du Xinghe such a shock in terms of personal skills alone.
This first Brazilian. In the mid-to-late 90s of the last century on the last plane. It gave all the fans a memory that will never be forgotten.
He conquered the hearts of all.
His name is Ronaldo.
- the only person who can use the title independently;
The only thing that doesn't need to be preceded or preceded by the name is a note. a person with a prefix and a suffix;
It's him, the alien in the minds of the fans!
Du Xinghe is a football idol forever.
Du Xinghe likes Ronaldo, not just because of Ronaldo's amazing ball skills. is also because of Ronaldo's infatuation and love for football, as well as the spirit of never giving up and never admitting defeat after encountering a destructive injury.
Whether in music or football, this spirit of never compromising and never giving up is a necessary quality for a person to achieve greatness.
In the latter part of Ronaldo's career, some domestic media took pleasure in making fun of Ronaldo's body shape and weight, including some hosts whose body type and weight were not ideal. Du Xinghe never used the ugly nickname he invented, he always called him Ronaldo, or Da Luo, because he knew how much joy this football spirit had brought us, how much shock, how many feelings that could not be described in words, or that Ronaldo himself was already football, a part of this great and unique sport that we love.
It is precisely because of people like him that we are so crazy and obsessed with football, and we have no regrets in this life and this life.
So, we should at least know respect, and keep a sense of gratitude and respect.
Take a look at Ronaldo's history of honor, long enough to cover several screens of subtitles.
If someone tells you that all this qiē is in the 14 years of European years, there are nearly 6 years before and after intermittently being unable to participate in training and competitions due to various serious injuries, during which he has undergone countless surgeries and recoveries; Injuries and surgeries, will you compare the achievements of other stars of your generation to his? Would you still tease his waistline?
Zidane, the greatest star of his time, not only has less European Ballon d'Or than him, but also has 6 more years of peace and security, no illness and no disaster.
If God could give Ronaldo these six years, who knows what else he can do and what more he can win?
Maybe just like God once made Beethoven deaf, he also deliberately made things difficult for Ronaldo and robbed him of his time and health, otherwise it would be too unfair to other people of his time, because he was originally a gift from God to the world, an angel, an alien, he was destined not to play with mortals under the same conditions, in order to bridge the gap between gods and humans, and even his birthday, because of his biological father's negligence, the original September 18 was misreported as September 22, the anniversary of the retirement of the football king Pele. This kind of thing makes his fate even more mysterious and magical.
After Beethoven became deaf, he could still create "Heroes", "Destiny" and "Ode to Joy"; Ronaldo has been able to score goals after a couple of serious injuries that could have ended any player's career, and even earned a standing ovation from the elder Taraford. From this point of view, Ronaldo, even more difficult than his predecessor Pele, because Pele has not suffered any serious injuries in his entire career, and has not been away from the field for a long time, Pele even wrote such a sentence in his autobiography: After retiring, looking back, I feel lucky like a thief who was not caught, and he never broke his leg.
Ronaldo has been injured once and again and has come back again and again. As he himself said, just for the joy of football. He doesn't lack money, he doesn't need to prove anything, aliens are here to play, and as long as he can get up, he will kick down.
There are always some people who think that after he is over 30 years old, he will die early. These people probably don't know that there may not be a second person in the world who can climb back from the edge of the cliff of retirement due to injury again and again like him. And you can keep scoring goals.
Ronaldo once said to a terminally ill Chinese boy: "Please tell him for me." I used to be as desperate as he was, because I couldn't play, but I felt like I was going to the end of the world, and I wanted him to live strongly. Continue to find joy in football. ”
Yes. "The End of the World". How many people can overcome such despair? Ronaldo's encouragement kept the kid miraculously going for several more years, in fact, several times he struggled with a broken leg several times. It's already a miracle in itself.
Mozart died young at the age of 35, but this did not affect the fact that he left so many beautiful melodies to the world and will always be worshipped by future generations. Many music fans prefer to believe that it is the heavens who have taken back the angel sent to the earth, because he has left too many ...... for mankind
In some failures in life, Ronaldo, who has some similarities with the musical prodigy, even if he no longer plays football and no longer scores, will always be the king of the era after Maradona, a hybrid of Mozart and Beethoven in football history. In Du Xinghe's heart, there is only one Ronaldo in the world.
If Baggio is the fate of his first love when he was ignorant. That Ronaldo is the real lover found in the world of football and music.
On the last February 14, 2011, in the Western world, it was an ordinary Valentine's Day.
But in the world of football, it's the end of an era.
On that day, Ronaldo officially retired.
Ronaldo's sad tears at the press conference are still unforgettable.
was forked by Fang Yajun, recalling the ups and downs of Ronnie in the previous plane, as well as the tragic song of the years that was not long or short on his body, Du Xinghe naturally flowed out of Master Li Zongsheng's "Song for Myself" in his mind.
……
I want to get it, but I can't get it~ What do you want to do in life~
The reluctance of the house ~ just care about talking nonsense with the past ~
Wait until you find out that time is a thief~
It has long since stolen all your options~
Love is just a high fever~
Missing is followed by a cough that can't be good~
……
Du Xinghe hummed the song in a half-read way.
Fang Yajun was hooked by Du Xinghe to talk about football, but he suddenly started singing when he heard Du Xinghe, as if he was creating a new song, a helpless song of life.
Fang Yajun became interested, and after listening to a small piece of music, he used a small guitar to help Du Xinghe accompani.
Du Xinghe was immersed in the memories of football and music, and continued to sing back with feeling.
……
It can't be forgiven~but can't be stopped~
Hatred goes over the wall at night~
It's empty~but buzzing~
Who put a cold gun in your heart~
The vows of old love are like a slap in the face~
Every time you remember a sentence, you will be slapped in the face~
Then I couldn't ask for several years and couldn't smell the fragrance of women~
……
The past is not as good as smoke~
Yes, remembering the old in love~ is not considered a virtue~
It's a pity that falling in love is not like writing songs~
No matter how serious you are, you can't become a style~
I asked who you have seen and missed~
It doesn't matter if you are a repeat offender or have no previous convictions~
The only one I know is the one who has been divided for a long time~
I haven't seen a long-term combination~
……
Fang Yajun listened carefully to Du Xinghe's singing, and the more she listened, the more stunned she became! How did such a song with a feeling of life come from the mouth of a boy like Du Xinghe, who is still underage? Is this his own creation? Or are you singing someone else's song?
But if such a feeling song had been written by someone else, it would have been popular a long time ago, so it is impossible for her not to hear it?
It seems that it is like writing a classic like "Comprehension", and this kid has begun to express his inexplicable life feelings again!
As Fang Yajun expected, Du Xinghe sang more and more.
……
Don't rush the years~
I won't push what should come~
I will give what should be returned~
Don't rush the years~
I don't chase if I go far~
I'm just trying to figure out what's going on~
Can anyone tell me what this is~
His love is in his heart~buried~erased~It's been a few years, and there is still a lot of power~
……
It can't be forgiven~but can't be stopped~
Love goes over the wall at night~
It's empty~but buzzing~
Who put a cold gun in your heart~
The vows of old love are like a slap in the face~
Every time you remember a sentence, you will be slapped in the face~
Then I couldn't smell it for several years~I couldn't smell the fragrance of women~
Then I couldn't smell it for several years~I couldn't smell the fragrance of women~
I want to get it, but I can't get it~ What do you want to do in life~
……
When Fang Yajun lamented that Du Xinghe's life experience was inexplicably profound, Du Xinghe was still in the infinite aftertaste of his eternal idol Ronaldo.
Just like the song goes. Don't rush the years, I won't push what should come;
Don't rush the years, you still have to chase if you go far.
When you have to say goodbye, the moment you say goodbye is like the time of flowing water, who can withstand it, who can sigh and helpless.
I still remember the summer of 1994, a 17-year-old boy under the halo of the Hercules Cup, when you tasted victory for the first time.
PSV Eindhoven kicked off the European competition and we got to know you with a rabbit tooth. That's where your dream begins.
This was followed by a succession of 5 people. It was 5 people in a row who unstoppably destroyed Compostela's defenses, and even Robson, a veteran commander who had always seen everything, exclaimed, "The aliens are coming!" ”
They're 20 or 21 years old, they're still chasing their dreams, and you've conquered the world. The two-time World Footballer of the Year trophy propels you to the pinnacle of your career.
1998 year. The beautiful Suzanne in the stands witnesses your every goal. Summer in France is so dazzling. And you fall in the blue sea of the hosts. It's just that there is still a big ambition behind the unpaid ambition.
The Nerazzurri years are your pride, and the smoke of the League Cup final has never dissipated, and there is one more symbol in football since then - the pendulum is like a man! Morero polishes your boots for you. And with you still moving forward.
The Milan derby, under the watchful eye, has the most ecstatic light toss, and the applause at the Meazza Stadium is reserved for you. Of course, there are bitter tears, remember the long list of injuries, the moment you fell, the world exclaimed, God is jealous of the talent!
And the tears that flowed down your face after the loss of the Olympic Stadium in Rome, and those tears that were also shed for you, are inspiring the transition from boy to man, which is a must for anyone to grow up.
You stand up again, the field of the 02 World Cup is an immortal legend prepared for you, the lovely "Afu head" brings back a bright smile, our "alien" returns in the way of seven battles to attack the city, and the world once again stepped on his feet!
The star-studded Bernabeu, the heroes of the Galactic Battleship side by side, the bustling national derby is nostalgic, and the unique way to celebrate is very romantic, not just for your lover, only football is your eternal lover.
Remember the Theatre of Dreams at Old Trafford, where that extraordinary hat-trick made the stage for one? In the crowd of standing ovations, there are you, me, and the immortal worship of the world for the return of the legend!
Suddenly, there was a time when they all said you were fat, and they called you "Fat Luo", but whether it was "Fat Luo", "Skinny Luo", or "Little Luo" or "Ronaldo", there was always only one Ronaldo in the world in your football field.
In 2006, the one and only Ronaldo broke out again, and the replica pendulum seemed to shake away the Ghana defence, and a monument in the history of the World Cup was presented - 15 goals will forever remain in the history books.
The World Cup used to be your starting point, but now it is also coming to the end in the torment of time. Even if the vicissitudes of life reappear in the Milan derby, you are still beautiful after changing the color, and the long-range shot breaks not only the defense line of the old master, but also a wall of time, and people who pass through it can double the footprints of the old days.
Injuries again, falling down again, the road home has become far and rugged, but you have to come back after all, to find the beauty of the fallen leaves and return to the roots. Corinthian's Ronaldo is the last Ronaldo, so real that we almost forget the nickname "alien".
20 years, there can be several 20 years in life, life is like a ruthless carving knife, changing your appearance, changing the years, changing the rivers and lakes, changing the immortal, changing the sadness, changing the past, changing the time. What has not changed is the eternal cry in the hearts of fans all over the world - there is only one Ronaldo in the world.
Because of Ronaldo, football has become Du Xinghe's first hobby in addition to music.
In Ronaldo's most glorious days.
The 98 French World Cup also became the first World Cup that Du Xinghe really stayed up late to watch in the last plane. You know, at that time, he was going to face the high school entrance examination!
He will always remember those tormented happy days.
Pretending to stay up late next to the TV in the living room, I turned the TV to the darkest, found the TV cover, and listened to the match between Italy and Chile with headphones plugged in.
When there is a wonderful shot, I secretly open the TV cover and turn on the TV to watch. If there was any movement in his mother's room, he would have to quickly put on the TV cover and pretend to review.
I still remember that Baggio, who cut off his ponytail but became more handsome, kicked the ball into the hands of Chilean players, made penalties, and bravely stood on the penalty spot to make up for the regret four years ago, and how happy he was for Baggio at the moment when he was accomplished in one fell swoop.
However, in that World Cup, Italy finally fell on penalties.
In the quarter-finals, Italy faced hosts France, and the two sides battled fiercely for 120 minutes to draw a clean sheet.
In the end, it had to rely on a brutal penalty shootout to decide the winner.
France's Zinedine Zidane, who took the lead and calmly hit the first free throw.
And the first Italian player to go to the penalty spot was the fateful Baggio...... (To be continued......)
