40 - Sacrifice

"Di Stefano has died."

Among the various news that came during the World Cup, this one can be said to be the saddest news. Real Madrid's celebrity, the superstar of the five-year winning period, Golden Arrow Di Stefano, died of a heart attack after his 88th birthday. One of the five figures in the temple of football left like this.

"Living to this age is also a good death. And before he died, he saw Real Madrid win the tenth Champions League, which can be regarded as satisfying. The old cow sighed with emotion.

"If you want to say regret, it is that I didn't see the end of the World Cup. This time Argentina still has some hope, and it would be nice to see Argentina win the World Cup for the third time. Liu Bo was still a little dissatisfied, "The Netherlands' own preparation is not enough, and it is not completely impossible for Argentina to enter the final and win the championship again." ”

After the Netherlands entered the semi-finals of the World Cup, they made the biggest joke: because the Netherlands thought that they would not enter the semi-finals, they did not book a hotel at this time, and the hotel they stayed in was booked by FIFA people for the following days, and now they have to move. If you look at it this way, it can be said that the Netherlands is indeed ill-prepared. However, Lao Niu also said in his heart: Is Argentina very well prepared?

After entering the semi-finals, Kun danced happily in the locker room, completely forgetting how bad he played in the first few games, Mascherano said excitedly after the game that Argentina has been eating since 1990, and now it can be regarded as raising eyebrows - this is black for generations not to say for the time being, such a mentality, where is it peaceful?

Now the two sides of the game don't seem so calm. It's hard to say who wins and who loses.

However, Lao Niu will not be stupid enough to say this to Liu Bo in person.

"Let's hope Argentina can win the trophy and pay tribute to Di Stefano. A World Cup champion is the best sacrifice for him. However, in fact, I think that he is an old man, and I don't think he can look down on the champion or something as a sacrifice. Hasn't he seen the champion yet? Lao Niu thought about it, but still spoke, "I think that the players played beautifully and played wonderful games, which is a better comfort for him." Truth be told, Di Stefano has played for three different national teams and doesn't necessarily attach much importance to national glory. However, whether he values national team honours or not, he certainly values football. If Messi plays well and can play a king-level performance, this will be a greater comfort for him. Football figures, there will definitely be deaths. Eusebio, Di Stefano, Puskas, these characters are gone, and among those aging stars, there are also many people who are sick, and they will go one day. It's not scary for them to go, as long as the newcomers can keep kicking them out, that's good enough, isn't it? Football is their life's work, and seeing what they are engaged in flourishing is even more important for these people who have gone through ups and downs and won a lot of honors. ”

Liu Bo was silent for a moment before nodding.

Yes, the predecessors of the football world leave, and the future generations follow, this is the model that the football world should have. Football is constantly improving, and new players are constantly emerging, playing more beautiful and exciting, which is the most pleasing thing for the predecessors. The predecessors have devoted themselves to football all their lives, football is more important to them than everything, and the descendants will carry forward their careers, for the predecessors, even if they leave, they will die without regrets.

I wish Di Stéfano all the best, and I hope he will bless the development of football in heaven, so that football can develop even better!
