Chapter 166 Tears
When Degan went down, it was expected that he would get back up, throw himself back into the game, and then, with one blow, conquer the entire Italian defense and lead Belgium to victory.
But this time, they are destined to be disappointed.
After the chaos on the field gradually subsided, an ambulance appeared directly at the safety exit of the stadium. Degan was carried on a stretcher. Antiiennis on the sidelines held his head in both hands, his eyes were full of annoyance and consternation, and Some remorse.
Especially looking at Digan's painful expression, Antiiennis felt that he was a bastard. If he could be tougher before the game and refuse Digan's challenge, maybe all this would not have happened.
But now, Antiiennis doesn't know what Degan's current situation is, and this injury is likely to ruin Degan's career.
Antiiennis could only pray now, that Digan was okay, but looking at Digan who was almost unconscious, he felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by someone's hands.
Degan, who was carried on a stretcher, knew that his World Cup was over, and his body could no longer support him to continue running on the field. The World Cup that belonged to him ended here!
Just like the fans expected, he also hopes to stand up again and lead Belgium to victory, but it is impossible now.
World Cup!
It was Degan's dream in his previous life, and now he has this opportunity to lead an unpopular team all the way to the present, but it's a pity that everything is over, an injured leg put an end to his World Cup, A broken, imperfect full stop.
Lying quietly on the unit price, Digan knew that there were countless cameras pointed at his face, and he wanted to be stronger, but unfortunately, tears still poured out uncontrollably.
The audience in front of the TV burst into tears watching Degan, and the shock in their hearts could not be described in words. Degan has always given people the feeling of being a rebellious?
But now, Deegan was crying like a child, a child who wept sadly after his dreams were ruthlessly crushed.
The eyes of countless fans were moist. At this moment, even those who hated Digan before could not help being moved. Digan conquered the world with tears, even though he did not want such a result.
Degan bid farewell to the World Cup and his dreams in a sad way, tears! The World Cup has never been short of tears, so some people say that the World Cup is a tragedy that never ends.
How precious are a man's tears?
For the World Cup, it means the man's lifelong pursuit and struggle, his immortal dream and hope, and all his charisma.
This is one of the indispensable charms of the World Cup. As a fan, which World Cup is not spent in pain and happiness?
Maybe many years later, people have forgotten a certain superstar, a certain peerless goal, a certain classic game in a certain World Cup, and even forgot the final championship, but they still remember a certain drop in that World Cup. Tears of heartbreak and sad sighs, I still feel inexplicable shock and sadness when I think of someone waving goodbye, I still can't let go of a lonely back for a long time, and I love a certain superstar deeply because of a declining look. to date.
tears!
On the stage of the World Cup, countless superstars left heartbreaking tears, and also left countless heart-piercing moments for people.
In 1966, Eusebio "Black Panther", the top scorer of that World Cup, almost single-handedly sent Portugal, which was still weak at the time, to the semi-finals. Against England, the host that was completely occupied, the "Black Panthers" could no longer perform miracles like a savior. After losing the game, Eusebio's heroic tears made countless people sigh, and even the Queen of England in the stands also shed tears.
However, don't think that the weak have no power, the humble have no dignity, and never underestimate a brave heart longing for a world championship. After the Portuguese football first shocked the world, it was Eusebio's tears Inspired Wusha's countless younger generations to work hard, so too many geniuses were born in his homeland, and Portugal eventually became a football powerhouse.
In France in 1998, what happened that night will be forever a mystery. Who lost the pair of crystal dancing shoes that could help Brazil reach the top of the world? And who chained Ronaldo's talented legs so that he could no longer dance like an elf?
Under Ronaldo's declining and slightly confused eyes, the silver medal symbolizing the second place in the world that many people pursued in their lives was so dazzling, because it was not worthy of Ronaldo, he was the best in world football at that time Forward, there is no one, he is destined to be born for the championship, he should have been the protagonist of that decisive night, the poor infatuated Brazilian fans never gave up, they waited, hoped, and finally waited until the final whistle sounded At that moment, I couldn't look forward to the final salvation of the "alien".
In the 1974 World Cup final, Beckenbauer and Cruyff commanded their own team. This peak moment was not only a personal duel between the German football emperor and the Dutch emperor superstar, but also a "sportsmanship" with Beckenbauer as the spokesperson. The decisive battle of the century between "Freeman Tactics" and "Total Attack and Total Defense Tactics" with Cruyff as the founder.
Fate is so cruel. There is no way for two peerless masters standing at the pinnacle of the era to have both. Only through a life-and-death approach can they win the trophy that they both desire. This is the true peerless double pride.
If any one of these two is missing, the other will easily win the eternal honor of world champion. Apart from the other party, who else is an opponent in the world? Is it lucky or unlucky to be born in such an era?
This is an era that countless generations look up to and yearn for. I regret not being able to witness this peak duel between Mars and Earth, and I sigh for Cruyff. After Leigh, the second champion before Maradona, if he won the final that year, maybe the all-time All Football and Total Defense would have dominated the world. If he won the final that year, maybe it would not have opened the Netherlands The tragic fate of the "Uncrowned King".
People can only cry in vain: since Yu was born, how can he be born? ,
After Cruyff, Van Basten, Gullit, and Rijkaard, known as the "Three Musketeers of the Netherlands" in history, are so far recognized as the strongest trio in history, just like three magnificent tulips. After the flowering period, the whole land retains their amazing memory, the glory and decline, magnificence and sadness that belong only to the Three Musketeers can never be imitated.
In the 1990 World Cup, when almost everyone had high hopes for the famous Three Musketeers at that time, by accident, their invincible state of dominating Europe failed to play out, and their European myth of bloodbathing the giants failed to continue. The unbeaten record of 58 games in Serie A has not been replicated.
At that time, people firmly believed that they would make a comeback in the next World Cup. People even began to predict their amazing performance four years later.
In 1994, Van Basten, the supreme striker four years ago, had already stayed away from the game due to an incurable leg injury. Gullit, the super "braided handsome" who ruled the whole game four years ago, had wandered abroad and had no chance to play in the national team. Rijkaard, the mainstay four years ago, has been shackled into a central defender who can't support himself.
The orange storm led by the Three Musketeers once swept the world, but God is jealous of talents, they won the world but lost the World Cup. Missing the stage at the most inappropriate time and in the most inappropriate place, this should be the biggest regret of the glorious life of the Three Musketeers, and in the most glorious era, why not miss the best opportunity? Regrets for the whole of Dutch football?
Since then, the Netherlands has finally never been able to break the curse of the "Uncrowned King", and the Orange Age of the Three Musketeers has been marked with an ellipsis forever.
In the 1994 World Cup, Argentina almost had the most fantastic lineup among all the teams: "Ball King" Maradona, "God of War" Batistuta, "Prince of the Pampas" Redondo, "Son of the Wind" Carney Gia, "Almighty Soldier" Diego Simeone, "Little Donkey" Ortega, "Super Defender" Ruggieri and Sansini, and "Magic Goalkeeper" Goyechea, but this superstar-studded team cannot The Argentine team of the first generation failed to create an epic record, and they unexpectedly stopped in the second round.
Those that are too perfect are often too unreal, and those that are too gorgeous are often too easily broken. This is the current situation of the Argentine team at that time, and it is also a portrayal of Redondo's football career. He can only be the lonely and frustrated dancer, the unswerving saint, the beloved prince who has never been reused by the coach, he can only be the poet who wanders far away, his heart is higher than the sky , Life is thinner than paper, this is the epitome of his life.
What makes people even more sad is that after this World Cup, Redondo left the national team because he refused to obey the suspension order. The photo of hiding his face and crying after losing to Bulgaria was left to the World Cup by "Prince Pampas". last memory.
There is a kind of tears called unruly, and there is a kind of tears called compromise.
"I sincerely hope that the head coach can keep me. I went to the World Cup not for money, but because of my love for football. I think I can do something for Brazil if I stay!"
At the press conference of the Brazilian team in the 1998 World Cup, when this submissive begging was uttered from the mouth of the always rebellious Romario, fans all over the world were moved. Although the 32-year-old "lone wolf" finally bow your head.
Although he cried three times and begged, the "Rolo-Rolo combination" that the fans were looking forward to finally failed to appear in that World Cup, and the Brazil team, which lost Romario, also failed in the final.
Yes, he is defiant, he is promiscuous, he raves, but don't forget that he is the number one contributor to Brazil's championship in 1994, and he is a super shooter who scored 1,000 goals. "Not guilty!
Cruel Zagallo, his tears touched the sky, the ground, and millions of fans that day, but why couldn't Zagallo's indifferent heart be touched.
The 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup is probably the most profound memory for people. Consecao's crying, Rui Costa's shock, and Figo's confusion are not because Portugal once again brushed against the trophy that is in front of them. shoulder to shoulder; Totti's protest, Vieri's roar, Gattuso's lament, these are not because Italy fell helplessly on the penalty line again; Morientes' tears, Hierro's sobs, Hua Kim's anger, these are not because Spain once again lost the best chance to win.
In this way, the four-year football feast was jointly interpreted by referees and shameless Koreans into a disgusting farce. How many superstars' lifetime efforts have been ruined because of filth, and how many superstars' lifetime dreams have come to naught because of jealousy?
People will never forgive the scumbags who ruined the last show of the "golden generation", the brazen thieves who ruined the Azzurri's 20 years of unrepentant watch, and the filthy scumbags who ruined Spain The bullfighter's youth and fearlessness, this is the biggest shame in the history of Asian football, and this is the biggest injustice in the history of world football.
Of course, in addition to these, the Korea-Japan World Cup has also left people with many moving pictures. In the classic England-Pakistan battle, after Ronaldinho's free kick with acrobatics was the lore, the heartbroken Hope Mann said to Beckham who stepped forward to comfort him: "He can even kill me, but he can't insult me!"
The weird "fallen leaf ball" 35 meters away opened the era of Ronaldinho in world football, and at the same time completely destroyed the honor of England's goalkeeper in his life. The belief and the dream he has persisted in all his life, he knows that he can't afford to lose when he is old, but he still bets all his dignity and reputation, just to fight for the eternal honor of the Hercules Cup, when he is ruthlessly deprived of everything At that time, how can one be able to let go of one's willingness to gamble and admit defeat.
In Japan's Sendai Football Stadium, amidst the 67,000 spectators singing "Argentina, Don't Cry For Me" in unison, a football temple that countless people worshipped collapsed, and hundreds of millions of fans around the world were unstoppable. In the astonishment and tears that could not be imagined, a statue of the battle god that countless people have dreamed of fell to the ground sadly.
When the most manly predator in the history of football used his last struggle, last disillusionment, last tears, and last time to kiss the unattainable honor and embrace the unattainable hope, countless people worshiped Batty enthusiastically He and his beloved have helplessly turned into dusty history. Those blood-boiling volleys have disappeared. Elegant, wild and shocking style of play can no longer be imitated. After the God of War, there is no God of War.
Batty waited loyally again and again but could never reap his dreams, struggled persistently but could not get out of tragedy, fought alone but could never save the world, he is the eternal regret and fragile memory of all football lovers, Batty, what kind of courage do fans all over the world have to dare to never forget him?
Baresi and Maldini were both the captains of the Italian national team. They are both absolute loyal servants of the Red and Black Milan enjoying the "gift of the title". The most sad thing is that they are all equally sad: from 1990 to 2002, it was the saddest, most melancholy and most heartbreaking four World Cups in the history of the Italian team. It is they who led this team to plant hope but repeatedly missed the flowering and fruiting. They have always led this team to swear to break the fate but often fall into tragedy and reincarnation. In the hearts of every Italian fan, they have been the flag of Apennines for 16 years, The leader of the Apennines, the totem of the Apennines.
These two names have grown up with three generations of fans. How many people are used to seeing their firm eyes can find an inexplicable self-confidence? Pray, how many people have been used to shedding tears for them infatuatedly for four years.
In the hearts of every Italian fan, these two names have become a kind of strength, a kind of feeling, and a kind of belief in the past sixteen years. In fact, in the hearts of the fans, even if their undying loyalty only brings more sadness, even if their unrepentant persistence only brings more failures, even if their unyielding stubbornness only brings more disasters, people are still willing They still accompany us like this, holding dreams, lame legs, tears in their eyes, stumbling and never looking back, even if one day the last hope and all the nostalgia finally have nowhere to go.
There is also the lonely steel warrior in this World Cup. When the opponent used fierce sliding tackles again and again, Nedved's legs were already scarred. He fought hard with injuries and refused to bow his head; Showing that fatal yellow card, he encouraged his teammates and refused to bow his head; when his beloved club was in crisis of relegation due to the "Telephonegate" scandal, he remained loyal and refused to bow his head.
However, when he lost the last and only chance in his life to hit the highest dream, the Czech Iron Man finally lowered his proud head that had never been lowered in his life helplessly.
Nedved is like a hero in a Greek classical tragedy, with outstanding abilities but a rough fate. Maybe he knew from the very beginning that he would miss the "Hercules" Cup. Maybe he knew from the very beginning that he was in this team. The team cannot win the top honor of world championship, but he is still loyal and dedicated, and he wants to strive for the ending of his dream with ten times the efforts of others.
But despite all the hardships, it still failed to rewrite the ruthless script of the god of fate. This is the tragedy of tragedies. When the final whistle sounded in his last match of the World Cup, the Czech Iron Man knelt on one knee, unwilling to get up for a long time. He did not lose to the god of fate, he just lost to time. His heart and dream are still there, and his passion for football Still full of love, regardless of success or failure, his aging body is still full of heroism, but unfortunately, the stingy God never gave him even a little time to start all over again.
Beckham, who made the whole world go crazy, who can be by his side at the moment when his twelve years of hard work are wiped out, and who can share the pain for him? In, wipe the tears off your face?
Beckham is strong, he can wear a thick bandage and drag his half injured leg to fight with his opponent until the last moment, he is also tender, the world-famous Beckham arc can cross the entire court like moonlight, He never lacks support, because he is the prince who is loved by thousands of people in the British Isles, but he is always so lonely, because the dream he vowed to fight for all his life cannot be realized in the end.
The world of football has too many tragedies and countless moving moments. In 1994, when the World Cup was full of unrivaled heroes and out-of-print tragedies, no one could forget that Baggio stepped forward at the most critical moment and acted like a savior. Conquering, guarding the hope of the Apennine Peninsula at any cost, no one can forget that Baggio almost wiped the mighty enemies from the football map one by one with his own power, and no one can forget that he used grace His nimble style of play, indestructible perseverance and unhesitating courage declared war on the world, but no one can forget his helpless and sad back when he kicked a penalty kick into the California starry sky at the last moment.
How many people began to dream of the Azzurri because they were so engraved with Baggio's back, and they would never change until death? Baggio, that night, he kicked away the dreams of the Italians, but captured the tears of the whole world.
Baggio did not shed tears, but his lonely back could not reflect his stubborn heart.
Digan was in tears, because he chose to show his true feelings at the moment when his dream was shattered.
Fans all over the world were moved. When the prince missed the coronation just one step away from the throne, when the legend was about to be recorded in history in the most dazzling way, the sighs and pity given to him by hundreds of millions of fans, even far away Much more than the cheers and attention to the champion.
Maybe some people have always thought that football is a purely man's sport, and there have never been so many women's things on the football field; When sad.
Seeing those heroes on the football field cry with joy when they win the championship, or cry when their team loses, everyone is moved.
"It's hard for me to describe how I feel at the moment. I just want to say: 'Rod! Don't cry! Because you are doing well enough', but I just can't control my tears. I think many people and I have the same idea. We all expect Rhodes, a lone hero, to fight until the end. Even if he loses, he will lose vigorously. But we can't blame him for leaving early, because he has done well enough. , His performance is worthy of the admiration of fans all over the world. He is like a lonely hero who led Belgium, which is not favored by people, to the final of the World Cup. People have no reason to expect anything from him. He is like a lonely fighter. , in the face of everything, tenacious and unyielding, but he is also an ordinary person after all, and injuries are difficulties that he cannot get around!"
"At this time, we should applaud Degan. He has every reason to get all the praise. We shouldn't let a stubborn one leave alone!"
As if hearing the suggestion of the Belgian commentator who was already crying, the entire Berlin Olympic Stadium, whether it was Belgian fans, neutral fans, or even Italian fans, stood up collectively at the moment Digan was taken off the stage and sent their applause.
Digan still closed his eyes tightly, trying stubbornly to stop the tears, but the tears seemed to be completely uncontrollable and kept gushing out.
The World Cup is over! it's all over!
People bid farewell to a great fighter with applause, with regret and anticipation at the same time, looking forward to his wonderful performance for the people next time.
Like those famous football stars who shed heroic tears on the stage of the World Cup, Degan also captured the hearts of countless fans with his unwilling tears, but left deep regrets for himself.
Degan was sent to the ambulance and left the field, taking away the sighs of countless people.
The Belgian team that lost Degan also seemed to have their soul taken away. Although they were still fighting tenaciously, they were just walking dead without a soul.
The first half ended with 1:1.
After the intermission, the two teams changed sides and fought again. Without the threat of Digan, the Italian team played more calmly and the offensive became more violent. It is a pity that Tony on the front line is not in good condition today and missed several points. good opportunity.
After Totti scored the equalizing goal, he disappeared again. When the game reached the 60th minute, Lippi replaced him with De Rossi, also announcing the end of a generation of talented players on the World Cup stage .
Totti had announced before the World Cup that he would officially withdraw from the national team after the World Cup and would concentrate on playing for Roma.
When the game progressed to the 86th minute, the Italian team, which occupied the absolute initiative on the field, still failed to break through the desperately defending Belgian goal.
Even without a soul, these ordinary Belgian players are still sticking to their beliefs. They hope that they can give Digan a World Cup championship trophy and wish him a speedy recovery.
Lippi made personnel adjustments again at this time. Inzaghi and Del Piero, the Juventus striker twin stars who used to be under his command, played at the same time.
A minute later, Inzaghi scored a goal. A standard Inzaghi-style goal completely sent Belgium into the bottomless abyss, and also made the Italians ascend to the top of the world.
The moment the football flew into the net, the spiritual strength supporting the Belgian players collapsed instantly. This time, no Degan stood up again.
it's all over!
