A Waste of Youth Training, He Went from the Village Super League to the World Cup

I have been watching football for decades, half my life watching football, and half my life regretting it. We, the old fans, have seen with our own eyes the peak moments of Maradona dominating the court, and also seen the back of Baggio leaving the field lonely, and we have mixed feelings in our hearts. I have seen Ruud van Nistelrooy's unstoppable kills, I have been fascinated by Ibrahimovic's domineering and arrogant, and I have watched Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi step by step from young players to the top players in football. In the past few decades, generations of stars have appeared and ended, leaving too many past events that no one can tell clearly on the court. This book explains the questions in the minds of many old fans at once: Why did Cruyff miss the 1978 World Cup final? What was the reason why Ronaldo stretched his hips during the 1998 World Cup final? What grudges were behind the heated conflict between Portugal and the Netherlands in 2006? All the unpopular secrets and classic mysteries of football are explained in this book. But compared to the excitement of world football, the most unforgettable thing is Chinese football. The cheers when Wulihe qualified are still vivid in my mind. The former Jianlibao Youth Team made us all think that the national football team has a bright future. But over the years, the national football team has disappointed time and time again, wiping away the enthusiasm and expectations of our old fans bit by bit. Writing this book, on the one hand, is to talk about the legends of football for decades, and on the other hand, it is also to fulfill my dream of being a football fan. Think about it in words, and sincerely hope that one day the five-star red flag will fly high again in the World Cup.
