Chapter 134 Samba Legion

Brazil!

Degan's lingering nightmare once fantasized about realizing his dream of the World Cup in the Samba Legion, and also fantasized about creating a great era of Samba football with Kaka.

But because of Pereira, the five-star Legion turned Digan away, and Degan also closed the door to the Samba Legion with his own hands.

Digan suffered only a short trip to the Brazilian national team, which is the most unbearable. If it is because of the problem of strength, he can accept it. For tactical reasons, he can also face it calmly, but Pereira's attitude towards him is because of ignoring it, so it is unreasonable. This is Di Gandhi. For the intolerable.

Degan thought about the face-to-face competition with Brazil on the stage of the World Cup and used his strength to make Pereira understand what a mistake it was to give up on him.

However, the outside world is not optimistic about Belgium. As before, Belgian football and Brazil are not at the same level.

Football is a sport for Belgians. For Brazilians, football is a sport, but it is also a culture.

Whenever the league or major domestic and international competitions are held, Brazilians often go to watch the game with their families. The whole city is empty, and the stadium is full of people.

Almost everyone in Brazil is a fan. Brazilians laughed and said, "People who can't play football or don't know football can't be Brazilian president, and they can't get high support."

Brazilians believe that Brazilian football is naturally listed as a world cultural heritage. Brazilians call football a "mass sport". In Brazil, people play football on the beach or on the streets and alleys of cities. Even in slums, children from poor families stuff their socks with paper and kick them barefoot.

Brazil is one of the most successful teams in the history of the World Cup.

Brazil has never missed a final match of the World Cup, and won five championships in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002.

In 1958, Brazil defeated the host Sweden in the final and won the World Cup for the first time. The classic 4-2-4 formation shocked the world. Bailey, Garincha, Didi, Wawa and other superstars convincingly took away the Remit Gold Cup through perfect performances.

Four years later, when Bailey missed most of the games due to injury, the "Birds" Garincha shouldered the offensive responsibility of Brazil. Brazil defeated Czechoslovakia in the final and successfully defended its title.

1970 was Pele's last World Cup. Brazil picked up the classic 4-2-4 formation of 12 years ago. They defeated Italy 4:1 in the final, won the World Cup for the third time, and permanently owned the Remit Gold Cup.

Unsprisingly, with Pele's retirement, the Brazilian team fell into an unprecedented trough. They missed the World Cup championship for 24 consecutive years until~~~~~~~

In 1994, the new coach Pereira built a brand-new European Brazilian team. The Samba Legion, which gave up artistic football, played a "practical" World Cup. They defeated three of the top European teams in the Netherlands, Sweden and Italy in the elimination, and won the world again after 24 years. World Cup champion.

In 1998, the Brazilian team was unanimously favored and lost to the French team in the final and lost the chance to defend the title.

In the following four years, Brazil's record was poor and talent withered. At the 2002 World Cup between Korea and Japan, they were not favored by more fans.

However, Scolari, the head coach who was only six months in office, gave full play to the potential of "3R". Rivaldo was at the peak of his career, and Ronaldo also recovered from a long injury. Ronaldinho pierced the needle in the front court, and their terrible attack power played in this game. To the fullest. In the midfield and backcourt, the three central defenders and two midfields closely defended their penalty area.

In the end, Brazil won seven games and won the championship. Captain Cafu became the first player in the history of the World Cup to appear in the finals for three consecutive games, and Ronaldo also became the best scorer with eight goals.

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

Pele, the king of football, a child of Brazilian street football, was born on October 23, 1940 in the poor town of Coracois near the coastline of Brazil. His father was also a player, but he did not play well and earned a low income. The mother didn't want Bailey to go back to her father's path, but she soon found that she couldn't stop some kind of desire in her son's nature.

Back in the summer of 1956, the former Brazilian international Brito brought a child to the officials of the Santos club and said to them, "Believe me, this child will become the greatest player in the world."

This child is Bailey. Soon after joining the team, he dispelled everyone's doubts and played for Santos for the first time and scored in his debut against Corinian. At that time, he was only 15 years and 11 months old.

The career of the king is so legendary. From 1956 to 1974, Bailey played for 19 seasons with Santos, winning 11 São Paulo State League titles, 6 Brazilian Cups, 2 South American Libertadores Cups and 2 World Club Cups. During that time, Bailey was elected Saint Paul 11 times. The top scorer in the Luozhou League, especially from 1957 to 1965, he wore the best scorer golden boots for nine consecutive years, a record that no one can surpass.

Pele's figure is not outstanding, but he has great talent. Excellent speed, extraordinary balance ability, wide field of vision and amazing ball control ability are his "weapons". Of course, the precise shooting of his feet and headers helps him knock on the goal again and again.

In Bailey's career, he played 1363 official games and scored 1281 goals, which is the highest official record in history.

It is not difficult for Bailey to score more than 100 goals in a year. He scored 127 goals in 1959 and 110 goals in 1961. The peak season was 1958. At the age of 17, he scored 58 goals in the São Paulo State League and 139 goals in various competitions. These figures can only be admired.

On November 19, 1969, Bailey scored the 1000th goal of his career at Marcanã Stadium, which was a penalty. In order to celebrate and even rush into the game, the game was suspended. Later, Santos Club designated November 19 as "Pele Day" to commemorate the achievements of the king.

In addition to the goals in his 22-year football career, the most important thing is naturally the World Cup. From 1958 to 1970, Bailey participated in four World Cups and won three championships. Bailey is the only player who has won the World Cup three times in history. He can be called the king of the World Cup.

Brazil has two Bailey, one is "Black Pearl" Bailey and the other is "White Bailey" Zico. In addition to his skin color, Jicco is exactly the same height as Pele. His appearance made the world football world, which lacked revolutionary changes in the 1980s, rippled with spring. The 1982 Brazilian team, composed of him, Socrates, Falkao and others, was recognized as the best team in the 1980s.

Zicco got the reputation of "White Bailey" when he was 24 years old. In the 11th World Cup qualifying match held in Cari, Colombia, Brazil defeated Bolivia 8:0, and Zico scored 4 goals, which caused a sensation in South American football. Fans thought that he was the hope star for Pele to revitalize Brazilian football after his retirement, and affectionately called him "White Bailey".

In the so-called "Bailey Rebirth" era in the early 1980s, there were many "Bailey" in world football. The young Maradona was "Little Bailey", Platini was "European Baili" and Zico was "Bai Bailey".

Bailey thought that only Zico was the most like him, calling him "a very good athlete, and attacking the goal near the penalty area is his specialty. He has strong judgment and can maximize his unique skills by using the smallest space in the melee, rebounding the ball and volleying, giving the opponent a fatal blow.

Jike's technology is outstanding, with a large range of activities, extraordinary ability to carry the ball, and a strong sense of attack and shooting. He is resourceful, can play in a variety of positions, has excellent offense and defense, has rich experience on the spot, and is good at mastering the rhythm of the game. He is the soul of the Brazilian team. The playing style is light and dexterous, and the shooting of left and right bows is powerful. Although Zico is talented and skillful, his football career, especially the World Cup, is full of sadness.

Romanio, the solitary wolf, 1989, Pele made one of the most accurate predictions of his life: "The 1990s belonged to Romanio."

For this unique shooter, Barcelona coach Cruyff once had this memory: "One morning after training, Romario came to me and said that he would take 8 days off to return to Brazil to participate in the carnival. I said that unless you had a hat trick against Real Madrid on Sunday. As a result, he really scored 3 goals in that game, and Barcelona won. After the game, Romario went to the airport without even saying hello.

On July 17, 1994, under the scorching sun in the United States, the most classic fateful confrontation in the history of the World Cup was staged. Romerio and Baggio, the kings of the two respective teams, stood together on the lawn of the Rose Bowl.

Before that, the two scored five goals each, and the prince of melancholy almost brought Italy to the finals on his own. If he wins the championship, his achievements will catch up with Maradona in 1986, and the five goals of Wolverine are also the key. This decisive battle will determine who will be the real king of that World Cup.

In the dull 120 minutes, Baggio, who had a leg injury, struggled to support him, and Romario also lost his usual calmness. The final judgment was made at the penalty point.

Baggio, who almost became Maradona, fell at the last minute. Fate made two decisions in 1986 and 1994. Maradona passed the winning pass in the final, so he was Maradona. Eight years later, when the ball brushed out of the beam and flew to the sky by a meter, Baggio could only be Baggio.

Before that, Romario's penalty hit the post and bounced into the net. It was the difference between them that determined who was the king of the World Cup.

Is 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 World Cup and became the best player in the competition, but also won the World Footballer of the Year. In 1994, it was a year for Romario.

Alien Ronaldo, Ronaldo, was born on the day when Bailey announced his retirement. It seemed that God brought the successor of the king of the ball to the Brazilians. His career is full of controversy, that is, he joined Real Madrid and Barcelona, as well as AC Milan and Inter Milan. But he is recognized in the hearts of the fans as Pele, the greatest striker after Maradona. He is the third World Footballer of the Year, the winner of the European Golden Globe Award, the winner of the World Cup Golden Globe Award, the winner of the two World Cup winners, the runner-up, the World Cup Golden Globe Award, the best scorer in World Cup history, and the only player who has played for the four giants Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan and AC Milan. His life has a wonderful life. Countless goals were scored, and people simply called him "alien", the king of the times.

Many people's families once had a poster to celebrate the 1994 World Cup after Brazil won the championship. In the center of the photo is a young man wearing his opponent's No. 18 jersey. He sat on the grass, showing two rabbit teeth, stretched out his hand and stroked the word V, enjoying his first World Cup trip brilliantly. He is still under 18 years old and is the youngest player in the Brazilian team this year. He didn't get a chance to play in this World Cup. At this time, he didn't know what sadness is.

This young man had a name that shocked the world: Ronaldo Luis Nazario da Lima, who was later called "alien".

In 1998, Brazil used the 3R combination for the first time in the World Cup qualifiers. Romario, Ronaldo and Rivaldo formed an invincible offensive line. Before the World Cup, Romario was unfortunately injured, and the Brazilian offensive responsibility was completely on the shoulders of the 22-year-old Ronaldo. However, Ronaldo did not play well in the first game, and it was not until the second round that Brazil scored his first goal in the World Cup. In the eighth final victory over Chile, Ronaldo went down two cities in a row in the second half. In the semi-final against the Netherlands, Ronaldo lightningly passed between the two central defenders and calmly unloaded the ball and poked into the door guarded by van der Sar. Everything seems to herald the birth of a new World Cup superstar.

Maybe the young shoulders can't bear so many expectations. Under the happy appearance, the talented teenager bears the unimaginable pressure of ordinary people. On the eve of the World Cup final, Ronaldo suddenly fell ill, but the head coach sent him to the field under pressure. In the end, Brazil lost three goals to France, and Ronaldo was sleepwalking on the field and was unanimously questioned after the game, which also became one of the major unsolved cases in the history of the World Cup.

Strong mental and physical pressure made Ronaldo's state plummet. In November 1999, Ronaldo suffered a serious injury to his fragile knee, so he was away from the field for four months.

After 4 months, Ronaldo recovered from his injury, but unfortunately it happened again. This time, the injury was bigger than last time. In the Coppa Italia final with Lazio, Ronaldo suddenly fell to the ground without physical contact after 6 minutes of his bench appearance. This time, Ronaldo needs a truce for 18 months.

After the gap of 2000 years, it seems that people have forgotten the former aliens. It was not until the second half of 2001 that Ronaldo returned to the green field. The injured and tortured alien has been a little more careful, and his body is slightly fat. People will no longer see him riding alone through several people. Coach Cooper's defensive tactics restrained his hands and feet, and Vieri's main position was unwavering, and he could only be a substitute for young Caron at one time.

At the Rome Olympic Stadium on May 5, 2002, Inter Milan visited Lazio one point ahead of Juventus. As long as you win, you will win the 13-year league championship. However, the fate was so ruthless that Lazio turned defeat after conceded a goal first, and Inter Milan once again missed the championship. Ronaldo was replaced early, and he shed tears of pain at this sad field. At this moment, the happy teenager was so helpless.

However, returning to Brazil, without the constraints of defensive tactics, Ronaldo quickly regained his peak. In the 2002 World Cup qualifiers between Korea and Japan, Brazil's performance was bumpy, but with Ronaldo, the team has undergone a change. In the first game against Turkey, Ronaldo equalized the score in the 50th minute. In the second game against the Chinese team, Ronaldo was the icing on the cake in the second half. In the third game, Ronaldo's two goals in less than 20 minutes set the tone for the game. Brazil won the first place in the three-game winning group.

In the knockout stage, Ronaldo broke through the doors of Belgium and Turkey. Among them, the stabbed in Turkey's foot was amazing, and Ronaldo also said it was my favorite game after the game. Ronaldo used his own strength to send the Brazilian team to the final again. Ronaldo, who left Afu's head, was blessed in the final. Kahn unexpectedly left his hand and fulfilled his wish to surpass the 6 ball spell of the best scorer in the World Cup. In 79 minutes, his counterattack goal completely locked Brazil's fifth World Cup championship. This World Cup belongs entirely to Ronaldo. This is a World Cup that belongs to Ronaldo. He scored a total of 8 goals, and the world is marveling that the omnipotent alien has returned.

Ronaldinho, the elf on the football field, has excellent ball control skills, is good at rapid breakthroughs in the middle and side roads, and has a variety of positioning methods and a scalpel-like accurate pass. Although the style of the ball is very different from Ronaldo due to the difference in position, it is the same. His name is Ronaldinho, which means Ronald Jr.

became famous in the 1999 America's Cup. His super table tennis skills were known as the "new generation of ball kings". He won the World Footballer of the Year for two consecutive years from 2004 to 2005, and the European Footballer of the honor of the European Footballer in 2005. In the same year, he became the best player of the first World Professional Players Association. Lord.

In the 2002 World Cup, Ronaldinho became famous in the quarter-final match against England. He first made a long-distance attack that collapsed the English defense and assisted Rivaldo to equalize. Then he made a strange free kick, teasing the opponent's goalkeeper Seaman, and then Ronaldinho became the hottest target of Europe's top giants.

On July 19, 2003, Ronaldinho joined Barcelona for $28 million. When Laporta accompanied him to the stadium, about 30,000 fans cheered their long-awaited idol in the stands, and the jerseys with Ronaldinho's name were sold out that day. Subsequently, Ronaldinho was like a fish in water in this top European giant, and the Brazilian began to fight in this fertile land of football, and his arrival also injected new vitality into the sick Barcelona. In the game against Seville, Ronaldinho took the ball from the backcourt to 25 meters in front of the goal, which was his first time in La Liga. Ronaldinho scored a hat-trick in the 8-0 victory over Pchov Slovakia in the UEFA Cup. Ronaldinho helped Barcelona 17 consecutive league games in his first season, and finally won the second place in the league and got the opportunity to directly advance to the UEFA Champions League. In the second season, 2004/05, Ronaldinho and his teammates broke out and led the league all the way until the end. Ronaldinho gradually became the world's number one superstar.

Brazil never seems to lack genius. A teenager who casually is on the street may be regarded as an amazing genius in other countries, which is why Pereira can be extravagant enough to ignore super shooters like Degan.

People do have reason to think that the Belgians' World Cup journey is coming to an end, because the five-star Brazil team seems to have an absolute upper hand in any position.

However, Degan obviously did not want to miss this opportunity for revenge. Since the day he decided to leave the Brazilian team and join Belgium, he has been waiting for this opportunity.

He wants to use his feet to make Pereira bow in front of him, use his football to amaze the world, and make those who have slandered him understand that the best way to stand in front of Kaka is not the stupid and thick Adriano, but his Rodrigo. Izeson. Santos. Wright.

"Brazil is very strong, but Belgium will win in the end!"
