Chapter 134: Samba Legion

Brazil!

Degan's lingering nightmare, he once fantasized about being able to realize his Shijie Cup dream in the Samba Army, and he also fantasized about being able to create a great era of samba football with Kaka, the two brothers.

However, because of Pereira, the Five Star Legion turned away Degan, and at the same time, Degan also closed the door to the Samba Army with his own hands.

In the short trip to the Brazilian national team, Digan was only ignored, which was the most unbearable for him, if it was because of the problem of strength, he could accept it, and he could face it calmly for tactical reasons, but Pereira's attitude towards him was because of ignorance, so ignorance, no reason, which Digan absolutely could not tolerate.

Deegan thought about going head-to-head with Brazil on the stage of the Shijie Cup, and used his strength to make Pereira understand how much of a mistake it was to give up on him.

However, the outside world is not optimistic about Belgium, as before, fame, strength, Belgian football and Brazil are not on the same level.

Football is a sport for Belgians, and for Brazilians, it is a sport, but it is more of a culture.

Whenever a league or major domestic and international match is played, Brazilians often travel with their families to watch the game, and the whole city is empty and the stadium is crowded.

Almost everyone in Brazil is a football fan, and Brazilians joke that "people who don't know football and don't understand football can't be the president of Brazil, and they don't get high approval ratings." ”

Brazilians consider Brazilian football to be a natural part of the Shijie cultural heritage, and Brazilians call it a "popular sport", where people play football, both on the beach and in the streets of the city. Even in the slums, children from poor families stuff their socks with paper and kick them barefoot.

Brazil is the most successful team in the history of the Shijie Cup, and it is optimistic that it is the most successful team, and there is no one.

Brazil have never missed a single Shijie Cup final, winning five times in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002, ranking first in Shijie in terms of titles, and making them known as the Five Stars.

In 1958, Brazil won the Shijie Cup for the first time by defeating the host team Sweden in the final, and the classic 4-2-4 formation shocked the whole Shijie, with superstars such as Pele, Garrincha, Didi, and Vava convincingly taking away the Gold Cup of the goddess Remet through perfect performances.

Four years later, with Pele missing most of the tournament due to injury, Garrincha "Little Birdie" Garrincha took on the burden of Brazil's attack, which successfully defended their title by beating Czechoslovakia in the final.

In 1970, Pele participated in the Zuihou Shijie Cup, and the Brazilian team regained the classic 4-2-4 formation of 12 years ago, beating Italy 4-1 in the final, winning the Shijie Cup for the third time and owning the Remet Gold Cup permanently.

Unexpectedly, with Pele's retirement, the Brazilian team fell into an unprecedented trough, and they missed the Shijie Cup for 24 consecutive years until ~~~~~~~

In 1994, new coach Andreas Pereira created a new, Europeanized Brazilian team, and the Samba Army, who had abandoned artistic football, played a "practical" Shijie Cup, defeating three of Europe's top teams in the knockouts, the Netherlands, Sweden and Italy, to win the Shijie Cup again after 24 years.

In 1998, Brazil lost to France in the final with an inexplicable performance and lost the chance to defend their title.

In the following four years, the Brazilian team had a poor record and withered talent, and in the 2002 Korea-Japan Shijie Cup, they were not favored by more fans.

However, the head coach Scolari, who had only been in office for half a year at the time, was very happy to play the potential of the "3R", Rivaldo was at the peak of his career, Ronaldo also recovered from a long injury period, Ronaldinho threaded the needle in the front, and their terrifying attacking power was vividly displayed in this competition. In the midfield, the configuration of three central defenders and two backs tightly defended their own penalty area.

In the end, Brazil won seven games and won the championship, captain Cafu became the first player in the history of the Shijie Cup to appear in the final of three consecutive competitions, and Ronaldo also became the top scorer with eight goals.

In the history of Brazilian football, too many great players have been born, and their skills and personalities have become synonymous with football in an era.

Pele, the child of Brazilian street football, was born on October 23, 1940 in the impoverished town of Colakoiz, near the Brazilian coastline, to a father who was also a footballer, but did not play well, and earned a low income. The mother did not want Bailey to follow his father's path again, but she soon discovered that she could not stop a certain longing in her son's nature.

Back in the summer of 1956, former Brazil international Brito brought a child to Santos officials and told them: "Believe me, this kid is going to be the greatest player on Shijie." ”

That kid was Pele, who dispelled all suspicions soon after he joined the team, making his debut for Santos and scoring on his debut against Corinthian, when he was just 15 years and 11 months old.

From 1956 to 1974, Pele played for Santos for 19 seasons, winning 11 São Paulo State League titles, 6 Copa do Brasil titles, 2 Copa Libertadores titles, 2 Shijie Club Cup titles, during which time Pele was voted the top scorer in the São Paulo State League 11 times, especially from 1957 to 1965, he wore the top scorer Golden Boot for an incredible 9 consecutive years, a record that no one can surpass.

Bailey's stature is not outstanding, but he has a great talent. His speed, balance, vision and ability to control the ball are his weapons, but of course, his feet and his header help him knock on the back of the net again and again.

During his career, Pele played 1,363 official games and scored 1,281 goals, the highest ever recorded.

Scoring more than 100 goals in a year is not difficult for Pele, who scored 127 goals in 1959 and 110 in 1961, with his peak season in 1958, and at the age of 17 he scored 58 goals in the São Paulo State League, bringing his total to 139 goals in all competitions.

On November 19, 1969, Pele scored his 1,000th career goal at the Maracanã Stadium, a penalty that was celebrated and even rushed into the stadium to stop the game, and later Santos FC designated November 19 as "Pele Day" to commemorate the achievement of the king.

In addition to the goals in his 22-year football career, the most important thing that has achieved Pele's status as the king of football is naturally the Shijie Cup. From 1958 to 1970, Pele participated in a total of 4 Shijie Cups, won 3 championships, and was the only player in history to win the Shijie Cup three times, and he can be called the king of Shijie Cup.

Brazil has two Pele, one is the "Black Pearl" Pele and the other is the "White Pele" Zico. Zico is exactly the same height as Bailey, except for the color of his skin. His appearance made the shijie football world in the 80s, which lacked revolutionary changes, ripple with spring. The 1982 Brazil team, which consisted of him and Socrates, Falcao and others, is widely regarded as the best team of the 80s.

Zico earned the nickname "White Bailey" when he was 24 years old. In the 11th Shijie Cup qualifiers in Cali, Colombia, Brazil defeated Bolivia 8-0, and Zico scored four goals by himself, causing a sensation in South American football. Fans consider him to be the star of hope for the revitalization of Brazilian football after Pele's retirement, affectionately calling him "White Pele".

In the so-called "Pele Rebirth" era in the early 80s of the 20th century, Shijie football produced many "Pele", the young Maradona was the "Little Pele", Platini was the "European Pele", and Zico was the "White Pele".

Pele believes that only Zico is the most like him, calling him "a very good athlete and his ability to score near the box is his specialty." He has a strong sense of judgment and is able to maximise his tricks in the smallest of spaces in a dogfight, bouncing balls and volleys to deliver the killing blow. ”

Ziko Jishu is outstanding, with a large range of motion, extraordinary ability to break through with the ball, and a strong sense of attack and shooting. He is resourceful, can play in a variety of positions, is good both offensively and defensively, has a lot of experience on the field, and is good at controlling the rhythm of the game, which is the soul of the Brazilian team. The style of play is light and dexterous, and the shots from the left and right bows are powerful. Although Zico is talented and has excellent football skills, his football career, especially the Shijie Cup career, is full of sadness.

In 1989, Pelé made one of the most accurate predictions of his life: "The 90s belong to Romario." ”

The Barcelona coach at the time, Cruyff, had this to say about the unique goalscorer: "One morning after training, Romario approached me and said he was going to take eight days off to go back to Brazil and go to the carnival, and I said unless you scored a hat-trick against Real Madrid on Sunday. As a result, he did score three goals in that game, which Barcelona won, and after the game Romario went to the airport without even saying hello. ”

On July 17, 1994, under the scorching sun of the United States, the most classic fate confrontation in the history of the Shijie Cup was staged. Romario and Baggio, the two kings of their respective teams, stood together on the turf of the Rose Bowl Stadium.

Prior to that, the pair had scored five goals each, and the Prince of Melancholy almost single-handedly took Italy to the final, and if he won the title, his achievement would have been straight to that of Maradona in 1986, while the five goals of the lone wolf were also crucial, and this showdown would determine who was the real king of that Shijie Cup.

In the dreary 120 minutes, with Baggio struggling with a leg injury, Romario also lost his composure, and the final decision was made from the penalty spot.

Baggio, who almost became Maradona, collapsed in Zuihou moment, fate made two decisions in 1986 and 1994, and Maradona passed that winning pass in the final, therefore, he was Maradona. Eight years later, when the ball flew off the crossbar by a metre and into the sky, Baggio could still be Baggio.

Before that, Romario's penalty hit the post and bounced into the net, and it was this difference that determined who was the king of that Shijie Cup.

Romario strong, or Baggio strong?

Different people have different answers, but the answer of fate is: Romario.

It was in this year that Romario not only led Brazil to win the Shijie Cup, becoming the best player of the tournament, but also was elected Shijie Footballer of the Year at the end of the year, in 1994, which was the year of Romario.

Alien Ronaldo, the day Ronaldo was born was the day Pele announced his retirement, and it seems that God has brought another successor to the Brazilian football king. His career was full of controversy, with Real Madrid and Barcelona, as well as AC Milan and Inter Milan, two rivals. But he is recognized by fans as Pele, the greatest striker since Maradona. He is a three-time Shijie Footballer, a two-time European Golden Ball Award winner, a Shijie Cup Golden Ball Golden Boot Award winner, a two-time Shijie Cup champion, a runner-up, the Shijie Cup Golden Ball Award, the Shijie Cup all-time top scorer, the only player who has played for Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan, AC Milan, and countless wonderful goals in his life, people simply call him "alien", the king of an era.

Many people have a poster in their home celebrating Brazil's victory in the 1994 Shijie Cup. In the center of the photo is a young man wearing the No. 18 shirt of the opponent Italian team, sitting on the grass, showing two rabbit teeth, reaching out and gesturing with a V, enjoying his first trip to the Shijie Cup brilliantly. He is not yet 18 years old, the youngest player in the Brazilian team, and he did not get a chance to play in this Shijie Cup, and at this time he did not know what sorrow was.

The young man had a name that would later shock Shijie: Ronaldo? Louis? Nazario? Reach? Lima, people later called him "alien".

In 1998, Brazil used the 3R combination for the first time in the Shijie Cup qualifiers. Romario, Ronaldo and Rivaldo formed an invincible offensive line. Before the Shijie Cup, Romario was unfortunately injured, and the burden of Brazil's attack was completely on the shoulders of Ronaldo, who was only 22 years old. However, Ronaldo did not play well in the first game, and it was not until the second round that the Brazilian scored his first goal in the Shijie Cup. In the quarter-final win over Chile, Ronaldo scored twice in the second half. In the semi-final against the Netherlands, Ronaldo made a lightning break between the two centre-backs and calmly unloaded the cross and stabbed it into the net that Van der Sar was keeping. Everything seems to indicate that a new Shijie Cup superstar is about to be born.

Perhaps it is the immature shoulders that cannot bear so many expectations, and under the happy appearance, the genius boy bears unimaginable pressure. On the eve of the Shijie Cup final, Ronaldo suddenly fell ill, but the manager was under pressure to send him on the field. In the end, Brazil lost to France by three goals, and Ronaldo was sleepwalking on the field, which was unanimously questioned after the game, which also became one of the major unsolved cases in the history of the Shijie Cup.

Strong mental and physical pressure has caused Ronaldo's form to plummet. In November 1999, Ronaldo suffered a serious knee injury that left him out of action for four months.

Ronaldo returned from injury four months later, but unfortunately happened again, this time to a greater extent than the last. In the Coppa Italia final against Lazio, Ronaldo came off the bench for six minutes before suddenly falling to the ground without physical contact. This time, Ronaldo needs to be out of action for 18 months.

After a gap of 2000 years, it seems that people have forgotten about the aliens who once were. It wasn't until the second half of 2001 that Ronaldo returned to the pitch. The alien who was tormented by injuries had become a little more careful, and his body was slightly blessed, and people would never see him ride through several people on his own again. Coach Cooper's defensive tactics tied his hands and feet, and Vieri's main position was unshakable, and he even had to use the young Cuarón as a substitute at one point.

On May 5, 2002, at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Inter Milan visited Lazio with a one-point lead over Juventus. As long as you win, you will be crowned with the league title after a 13-year absence. However, fate was so ruthless that Lazio came back from defeat after conceding a goal first, and Inter Milan once again missed out on the title. Ronaldo was substituted early and he shed tears of pain on the edge of the sad field. At this moment, the happy teenager of the year actually behaved so helplessly.

However, back in the Brazilian team, without the constraints of defensive tactics, Ronaldo quickly regained his peak form. In the 2002 South Korea-Japan Shijie Cup qualifiers, Brazil's performance stumbled, but with Ronaldo, the team has been reborn. In the first game against Turkey, Ronaldo equalized in the 50th minute. In the second match against the Chinese team, Ronaldo put the icing on the cake in the second half. In the third, Ronaldo's opening two goals in less than 20 minutes set the tone for the game. Brazil won all three games and qualified first in the group.

In the knockout stage, Ronaldo broke the doors of Belgium and Turkey in succession. The stab in the crowd against Turkey was amazing, and Ronaldo said after the game that it was my favourite game. Ronaldo used his liliang to send Brazil to the final again, Ronaldo, who kept Afu's head, was lucky in the final, Kahn unexpectedly let off his hand to fulfill his wish to surpass the Shijie Cup top scorer 6-goal curse, and his counter-attack goal in the 79th minute completely sealed Brazil's fifth Shijie Cup title. This Shijie Cup belongs to Ronaldo alone, this is a Shijie Cup belonging to Ronaldo, he scored a total of 8 goals, Shijie is marveling that the omnipotent alien is back.

Ronaldinho, the elf on the football pitch, is excellent on the ball, good at breaking through the middle and on the wing, versatile set-pieces and scalpel-like precision passes. Although the style of play and Ronaldo are very different due to the difference in position, they are the same as the storm, his name Ronaldinho, Portuguese means little Ronaldo.

He became famous in the 1999 Copa America, and his excellent skills were known as the "new generation of football kings", and he was awarded the Shijie Footballer of the Year for two consecutive years from 2004 to 2005, the European Footballer of the Year award in 2005, and the winner of the first Shijie Professional Players Association Best Player in the same year.

In the 2002 Shijie Cup, Ronaldinho made a name for himself in the quarter-finals against England, first breaking up the England defence with a long-distance run and assisting Rivaldo to score the equaliser. He then took a free-kick with a strange arc to play the opposing goalkeeper Seaman, and then Ronaldo became the hottest target of Europe's top giants.

On July 19, 2003, Ronaldo joined Barcelona for $28 million. When Laporta accompanied him to the stadium, some 30,000 fans cheered on their long-admired idol in the stands, and the jerseys with Ronaldo's name on them were sold out that day. Ronaldo then became at home at one of Europe's top clubs, and the Brazilian began to flex his muscles in this fertile footballing territory, and his arrival also breathed new life into the ailing Barca. In the match against Sevilla, Ronaldinho dribbled from the back to the end and fired home from 25 yards out, his first La Liga debut. In the UEFA Cup 8-0 win over Slovakia Pucciov, Ronaldinho scored a hat-trick. Ronaldinho helped Barcelona unbeaten in 17 consecutive league games in his first season, finishing runners-up in the league and securing direct qualification to the Champions League. In the second season, the 2004/05 season, Ronaldinho and his teammates broke out in full swing and led the league all the way to Zuihou, and Ronaldinho gradually became the number one superstar of Shijie.

Brazil never seems to be short of talent, and a teenager who is casually on the street may be regarded as an amazing genius in other countries, which is also the luxury that Pereira can afford to ignore a super shooter like Degan.

There is indeed reason to think that the Belgians' Shijie Cup journey is coming to an end, as the five-star Brazilians seem to have the absolute upper hand in either position.

However, Digan clearly did not want to let go of this opportunity for revenge, and he has been waiting for it since the day he decided to leave Brazil and join Belgium.

He wants to use his feet to make Pereira bow his head in front of him, and use his football to amaze Quan Shijie and make those who have once slandered him understand that the most suitable person to stand in front of Kaka is not that stupid and thick Adriano, but him Rodrigo. Isosen. Santos. Wright.

"Brazil is strong, but it will be Belgium who will win!"
