Volume 4 Chapter 79 The Imprint of the Times
The winner's march was played in the stadium as all England players gathered on the sidelines leading to the podium, with the Spanish players on the other side of the road going up to collect the silver medal, but it was just a passing motion, there was no ceremony.
Mackin didn't go past to comfort his team-mates at those clubs, and now at this moment, it will seem too arrogant, and everyone needs to learn to face it, even if he fails one day.
A team doctor stood by his side to take care of him, and amid the rousing music and applause of the English players, the Spanish players began to rush to the prize hall, although their faces were full of loneliness and tears had dried up, but the result was impossible to change.
"Audience friends, now the medal ceremony has begun, the World Cup runners-up Spain team is the first to receive the silver medal, we see that they have already walked the way," Huang Jianxiang said.
"I think it's a difficult time for them at this time", Zhan Jun's voice was a little lower, "Cassie, Puyol, Xavi, Alonso, Iniesta, Xiaofa, Villa, Torres......"
"The biggest stars of the day, this is Spain's golden generation, they were proud of Vienna two years ago, when Ma had just established himself in Liverpool, and today they have not been able to reproduce the glory of two years ago, although they are the favourites to win the World Cup before the start of the World Cup"
"But Mr. Ma dominated this World Cup in a Maradona way, and everything this summer is destined to be his foil in the future, and 20 years later, the memory of this World Cup will only have one name"
The Spanish players and coaching staff, in their irritated and piercing cheers, walked step by step, to Blatter in the second-floor stands, received the medals one by one, and then accepted the comfort of the Queen of Spain, with a blank face throughout the whole process.
Cruyff is probably the saddest of the non-Spaniards, he sticks to Barcelona, supports Spain, and in the final analysis, he supports his own football philosophy, and no one has much real affection for a country other than his home country.
But in the past few years, it has also been his most frustrating years, with Liverpool and Inter Milan blocking what he considers to be the best Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals and finals, and now England blocking Spain.
He couldn't help but wonder to himself, could this kind of transmission control really have an inherent flaw? How can it fall at the feet of defensive counter-attacks and brutal football again and again.
Yes, England had a normal first half, but the second half seemed to him to be brutal football, with no technical or tactical content, and nothing but the flashes of stars.
But it was England who won, and that was probably more ironic to him than defeat.
The Spanish player took off the silver medal around his neck when he stepped off the podium and carried it in his hand, but fortunately no one was as extreme as Mourinho, sending fans or something, otherwise Blatter would be really embarrassed.
"After 44 years of ups and downs, England has finally ushered in this moment, has their football recovered? No, no one would think they could win the championship, 7 games, England scored 21 goals, which is a horror, an average of 3 goals per game, second only to the German team", Huang Jianxiang's passionate commentary sounded.
Because it was already the moment when England received the gold medal, the audience roared with a tsunami and thunderous applause, and they went to the end, the end, and the top.
"But Mr. Ma has 8 goals and 7 assists, creating an average of 2 goals per game, which plays a role in England's tactical system, which can no longer be described as irreplaceable and indispensable.
"In the 100-year history of the World Cup, except for Fontaine and Muller, no one has ever achieved a record of creating an average of 2 goals per game in a single game.
Makqin was already supported by the team doctor, second in the team, and after captain Steven Gerrard, he began to walk slowly up the stairs, considering his injury, the team walked slowly, but the crowd, including the English players, was not impatient.
They wished that the process would be longer, and the audience on both sides took out their mobile phones one after another, and the flashing lights kept bursting, this is a modern version of Maradona!
That history, that story, even only exists in the rumors, too many people have not personally experienced that era, and they can't feel the madness of that era.
But now, they have their own spokesperson for the football era, which is about witnessing, entering the youth of countless people, and will become their common memory in the future.
Mackin had a bandage on his right leg and a simple bandage on his left leg, and when he finally walked to the edge of the podium, the audience was boiling and applauding.
"Mark, he's going to receive his first World Cup medal, it's gold, and with his age, I definitely don't believe it's the last," Lineker exclaimed excitedly.
"England is going to have a Mark era, English football is going to have a Mark era, world football is going to have a Mark age, remember, remember, he's just 19 years old!" , Wilson proudly announced.
"He subverted football, subverted everyone's perception, modern football is more and more emphasizing physical confrontation, many of our lads are 18 or 9 practicing like muscular men, but Mark told you today, no, football is not played like that, he is essentially a game of intelligence!"
"Throughout the ages, there have been countless players who have relied on technique, dribbling, speed and even physical success, but it is rare to see that these are not the best, and there are players who can become the top stars of the era by relying on intelligence alone, which really feels like it cannot be replicated"
As Beckenbauer said before the game, yes he spoke again before the game: I don't think I can say if Mark is the greatest superstar individually, but he must be the greatest team superstar since the birth of football.
Blatter held Mark Qin's hand tightly and smiled, "Mark, you are amazing, especially considering your age, what you have done is even more remarkable and admirable"
"Thank you, Mr. Blatter," Markham said with a smile.
"You have now made a huge impact on world football, and I hope you can make an even greater contribution to the promotion and development of football in the future......"
"Definitely, it's my honor", he is naturally no stranger to this kind of scene.
Blatter put the gold medal around his neck with his own hands, and at this moment, I don't know how many people have become his faithful believers again, he picked up the medal and kissed it vigorously.
Then continue to move forward, accept the British prince and the queen of the queen of the separate award, this time to make the royal family break the bank, they have always been noisy and poor, they are estimated to have a heavy bleeding, but it doesn't matter, they must have a way to earn more money back through this victory.
After that, it will be a show that makes a lot of money for many people, and after coping with it, Makqin walked directly to the rest area in front and waited, of course, waiting for the moment when all the medals were received and the Hercules Cup was lifted.
Gerrard put his arms around his neck, and the smile on his bun face was like a flower, and he couldn't hold it down, "Mark, you know what, from the moment I took you down from the stands in Istanbul, I felt that something was going to happen, and it was really good, it couldn't have been better......"
Makqin smiled, put his arm around his shoulder, and patted him hard, the young man who had been riding on his neck was now walking side by side with him.
The starry sky changes, and the stars change.
England's team-mates couldn't hide their excitement, even those who didn't play a minute, including David Beckham and Fabio Capello on the coaching staff.
David Beckham has finally achieved his dream, if not in the form of a player.
Capello's position in England will be more secure than ever, and he will have plenty of time and leeway to make a new generation, yes, a new generation, which needs to be slowly put on the England agenda.
In the next edition, more than half of the players will no longer be able to see them.
"Blatter, Blatter picked up the Hercules Cup, which symbolizes the World Cup winner, and we see that the players of England are already eager to try under Steven Gerrard, and they have finally ushered in this historic moment!"
"Hercules Cup, Hercules Cup, it's about to be engraved with the name of England......," Lineker shouted.
Gerald's hands were even trembling with excitement, and Mackin was right next to him, hitting him with the shoulder, which Blatter had been lifting for a long time.
Taking a deep breath, Gerrard solemnly took the gold cup from Blatter's hand, then turned around and looked at the more than 90,000 people standing in the full stands, all waiting for his move.
"Boom", Gerard suddenly raised the Hercules Cup with both hands and raised it high!
"E're the Champions ......", the music was turned up to the maximum, and the streamers that had been prepared for a long time instantly sprayed out and flew all over the sky.
"Champion, champion ......", the English fans in the stands raised their arms and shouted, "Champion, champion ......", the fans all over England shouted in unison, a long-cherished wish.
Mackin was the first to take over the trophy from Steven Gerrard, and now he can take a closer look at it, which represents the highest honour in world football, and it is extremely fascinating at the moment.
He leaned in and kissed it, then raised it equally high, and the stadium erupted in cheers again.
"Congratulations to Mr. Ma, he lifted the Hercules Cup, as the first Chinese person, he lifted the Hercules Cup, and there is no doubt that he will be elected as the best player in the final," Huang Jianxiang said.
"One pass and one shot, Mr. Ma's performance has been unprecedentedly consistent in the World Cup, except for the game against Ghana where he did not score and against the Netherlands he did not assist, he maintained absolute dominance in every game"
"That's right," Zhan Jun nodded, "and it is this kind of stability that has changed the chaos that England has always had and solved their offensive and organizational problems......"
The trophies were passed on one by one, and the enthusiastic cheers were wave after wave, and at this moment, there was no sleep.
The entire Soccer City stadium is lit up like day, shouting inside and outside, and a summer of attention will come to an end here tonight.
Some laugh and some cry, some are proud and some regret, but it is these that make up the story in the eyes of the fans.
The staff walked down the podium with the celebratory England players, who will be photographed by the media on the sidelines holding the gold cups, before taking a short break to the dressing room.
There are two final processes to follow, namely the individual award ceremony and the closing ceremony of the World Cup.
There is no suspense about the World Cup Golden Boot and the assist king, and the only thing that is still a little suspenseful is the World Cup Golden Ball Award.
In the past, many World Cup Golden Balls have been awarded to superstars who failed to win the championship but performed individually, which can be regarded as a consolation prize.
But it has also suffered a lot of criticism from the outside world, thinking that the way the cake is shared lacks credibility, why the best player does not win the Golden Ball, but the player with the lowest performance wins?
After taking pictures, the England players finally waved to the fans and began to walk to the dressing room, where the already hungry media rushed up and a bunch of long guns and short guns aimed at Mackchen.
"Mark, Mark ......", "How do you feel now", "What do you have to say", "Do you think you're the number one superstar right now?" ”
When he really faced this moment, what he remembered at this moment was not Pele, not Maradona, not Jordan, but a character that no one could have imagined.
The queen of Chinese table tennis, Deng Yaping, since her debut, the table tennis women's world has been unified for 8 years, and she will succeed in ten thousand bones......
