Chapter 40: The Gluttonous Feast (I)
"Alferedo•Di•Stefano!" The narrator's roar was transmitted to all corners of the world via radio waves!
The people of the world were shocked!
Dee•Stefano smiled and waved to the crowd, while many of the older generation of fans burst into tears – most of them in their fifties and sixties.
Dee•Stefano, the biggest regret in World Cup history.
The silver battleship of that year, known as the two players of the European double devils, one was Stefano and the other was Puskas.
The duo swept across the continent, and all the teams at that time were terrified by Real Madrid, and lifted the UEFA Champions League trophy five times in a row, a result that has never been seen before!
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Stefano later changed his nationality to join Spain, but because Italy had asked several Argentine players to change their nationality to join Italy under Mussolini's dictatorship and won the World Cup - Camoranesi's predecessor - FIFA once issued such a rule: no player can represent two countries in the World Cup.
In 1962, Stefano once participated in the World Cup in Chile with the Spanish team, but he did not play a game because of this rule, and that year was the most violent year in the history of the World Cup.
"Just one World Cup away!" This is what people say about Stefano, the great star is only one World Cup away from the honor of his life, and he has not even played a game in the World Cup!
It can be said that he is the biggest regret in the history of the World Cup!
The fans gave a round of applause to the seventy-year-old man, and this arrangement was absolutely reasonable, and no one could be more qualified than Stefano for this role, not even Matthews.
"I'm very happy to be able to play in a game like this, even though I'm not available now." Stefano smiled: "Thank you FIFA, thank you to the Chinese Football Association, thank you to the major sponsors, for providing such a stage for us players who missed the World Cup, and I would also like to introduce two of my old friends, who are the same as me as the head coach of the disappointed team in this game, but the two of them claim to be assistant coaches, which really makes me very ashamed." ”
With Stefano beckoning, the two walked out of the players' tunnel, one of them was full of red light and looked in good spirits, it was the English football king Matthews that Ling Feng had seen, and the other one was unknown to many people, he was a short and dumpty man, and when the commentator said his name, his influence was no less than that of the previous superstars.
He is Stefano's teammate back then, and another one of Real Madrid's double demons - the Hungarian football king, Puskas!
Among the five football kings selected by the German media that year, except for the deceased Chinese football king Li Huitang, the other four were all present!
Bey Crow is now sitting in the radio room with Lao Ma and began to explain the game, so in this way, all the candidates who can be called the king of the ball in history, except for Cruyff and Beckenbauer, all came to China!
It's a football, gluttonous feast!
Several old men are typical people who are not old-hearted, not to mention the fact that China's influence has gradually increased in recent years, and they are quite interested in such a game, and they have run over despite their old age and frailty - but if they wait another four years, the other two superstars may not be able to move again, except for Stefano......
Regardless of the outcome of this game, these superstars alone are definitely worth the ticket price.
But the game on the field is just as exciting.
Don't think that these miscellaneous troops can't play any kind of cooperation, they came to China two weeks in advance for training, although it is not a long time, but for these superstars who can be put in any team alone, two weeks is enough for them to complete the coordination, but in terms of tacit understanding, it is just a little worse.
But there are so many veterans on the field, and the experience is absolutely enough, probably that is, the physical fitness is almost - but don't be afraid, the number of substitutions is not limited, and there are so many young players on the bench.
It's a purely technical encounter!
The French team is still commendable in terms of technology, as for the lineup of disappointeds, not to mention, although Francisco is a little older, but as Zidane's idol, his ball control skills will definitely not be worse than Zidane!
The impact of Cantona and Weah, the possession of Rush, the excellent handler in midfield, and the smooth cooperation between the two sides in midfield.
It's just that defensively, the lineup of the disappointed team is much worse than that of the French team.
Zidane's organization in the midfield was not too hindered, and there was no player with super defensive ability to mark him among the frustrated, they relied on attack, and it was Pele who advocated that "the best attack is the best defense".
Although he is older, he can't hide the superstars, Franciscoli's ball control and playmaking skills are not much worse than Zinedine Zidane's, and he is better than the bald man in terms of breakthrough - but this is only for a short time, because he is not fit enough to support the Uruguayan prince for too long.
Weah's destructive power is still amazing, his strong body, and his excellent ball control are so good that even Desailly can't get a favor in front of him.
As for Cantona, although he reconciled with Jacquet, it doesn't mean that he won't give the French team some color on the pitch - after all, Cantona is the king of the Red Devils, and the dignity and pride of the king make him eager to prove himself and prove Jacquet's mistakes back then.
This kind of proof does not represent any substantive significance, Cantona is old, even if he decides to return next season, but at most he can only play for another year, the rise of Henry, Anelka, Trezeguet has made the French team's always weakest forward line have been qualitatively improved, 00 years of European Championships, there will be no more Cantona, so, even if the king is as strong as the Red Devils, he has to really face the era of the old and the new.
As a sign of respect for each other and a boost to the excitement of the game, Jacques did not line up for the 4-5-1 formation that he was a master of the World Cup, but 4-4-2, with Thierry Henry and Nicolas Anelka as starters, and went against the Frustrated Stars.
In the sixth minute of the first half, Zidane picked up the ball and Anelka's shot was punched out by Iguita.
Colombia's madman goalkeeper has been in the middle of the pack so far, but it's not clear if this guy will play another game with the ball in the future.
Three minutes later, Rush opened a gap in front of the penalty area and fired a cold shot from Barthez that Barthez saved bravely – and when Rush shot on goal, the Liverpool fans cheered and remembered how many times Rush had sent the ball into the opposition's net fifteen years ago.
The first goal came in the 17th minute of the first half, scored by Manchester United's King Eric Cantona.
He received a 45-degree diagonal pass from the Finnish skate Littmanning, and a high-speed cushion shot sent the ball into Barthez's goal!
The whole of Manchester began to cheer, and Cantona announced his comeback with his goal, kicking away Jacques's resentment that had kept him out for years!
Litmanning's pass showed his quality as one of the world's top midfielders, and it's sad for a player to be born in a country that isn't very well-known and is still competing for supremacy in a continent like Europe.
Lietmanning, Ryan Giggs, Finland and Wales.
Portugal and the Czech Republic are the top teams in Europe, and they have great hopes of entering the World Cup, but Finland and Wales want to enter the World Cup, which is as difficult as the previous Chinese team wants to enter the World Cup.
France's counter-attack unfolded at the same time, with Zinedine Zidane, Djokaeff, Nicolas Anelka and Thierry Henry also threatening up front, and ten minutes later, Djokaev levelled the scores with a stabbing strike from the scuffle.
The scene is getting more and more exciting, and the Chinese fans who are on the scene are fascinated by this level of confrontation - when have you ever seen the top confrontation of these top superstars?
After half an hour of the first half, the offensive of the disappointed lineup was significantly weakened, after all, running for half an hour was indeed a huge consumption for these veterans who had passed the age of thirty-five.
Stefano replaced the impressive Rush with his Welsh junior, Ryan Giggs, who was greeted with unanimous applause from the fans.
Giggs, like Rush, is one of the world's top stars, but the country is too weak to participate in the World Cup.
Some people have said that the FA has divided the huge United Kingdom into four teams, which has greatly weakened the strength of Britain, not to mention anything else, that is, the addition of Ryan Giggs will greatly enhance the strength of the British midfield!
But this can only be said in a dream.
Giggs' introduction greatly enhanced the midfield control of the disappointed line-up, and five minutes later, Stefano made another substitution, this time with Uruguayan Prince Francisco and another prince!
is also Ling Feng's old acquaintance, the Argentine prince who refused to participate in this World Cup - Fernando•Redondo!
Redondo refused to participate in Passarella's national team because he refused to cut his hair, and Passarella was not much better, after losing the qualification to advance to the semifinals, the Argentine media unanimously pointed the finger at Passarella, saying that if he recruited Caniggia, Redondo and others into the team, it would never be the situation he is in now.
Moreover, the main reason is that Passarella did not recruit the two into the team for too many reasons...... It's unbelievable.
Does hair have anything to do with kicking a ball?
The addition of Redondo and Giggs greatly strengthened the defensive ability of the disappointed lineup, and before the end of the first half, Giggs forced a breakthrough from the left and passed into the box, and after Weah's shot bounced off the defender, the German veteran Schuster hit the ball into the net with an absolutely textbook volley in the air outside the box!
A wonderful world wave!
The old rascal's goal made the fans cheer loudly, and the old horse couldn't help but laugh during the commentary: "Fortunately, Bernd did not participate in the 86 World Cup, otherwise it would have been really difficult for us to face Germany in the final, he and Rummenigge were the best superstars in Germany in the 80s." ”
Jacques also made a substitution at this time, replacing Petit, who scored the last goal in the World Cup final, and replacing Vieira to strengthen the attack while strengthening the defense.
In fact, in terms of strength, the French team, and even the Brazilian team in the heyday of Ronaldo, are not necessarily the opponents of the disappointed all-star lineup in front of them - after all, no matter how strong a country is, it is impossible for eleven people on the field to be superstars, and now it is obvious that all the top superstars in the disappointed lineup are top, especially in attack!
In terms of substitutes, the strength of the French team is worse, and there are many disappointed lineups.
After all, people like Francescoli, Schuster and others are very old, they have reached the limit by playing for half an hour on the field, and off the field, Figo and others are all top superstars, from this point of view, not to mention the substitute lineup of the French team, but in the main force except for Zidane and a few other people are not opponents.
So after learning about this arrangement, Yakai smiled helplessly: "Isn't it clear that he wants to bully us, it seems that this world championship is not so easy to win......"
Pele and Maradona were peacemakers here, patting Jacques on the shoulder and smiling: "A world champion must have the bearing of a world champion, they are all players who are disappointed in the World Cup, it doesn't matter if they win a game, besides, people who know a little football know that the strength of such an all-star team cannot be compared with any national team, there is nothing to be ashamed of." ”
Yakai smiled bitterly and stopped talking, after all, he was the world champion just now, and he knew that he was going to lose and run to play this game, and he was not very willing to do so.
Schuster was replaced by Stefano after the goal, he was already thirty-six and had little energy to run anymore.
And the replacement of Schuster is his successor, the best midfielder of the German team in the 90s - Tiger, Effenberg!
