Chapter 473 World Cup Champion

"CHAMPIONS! CHAMPIONS! WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!"

After the crazy and brief celebration, the grandest moment finally came. The singing of the Italian fans resounded through the stadium. At this moment, it was no longer passionate, but gentle, unprecedentedly gentle.Everyone was staring at the Hercules Cup that already belonged to them, with tenderness and peace in their eyes.

Finally, when the Brazilian walked off the podium with the silver medal in helplessness and pain, the most important and crucial moment came. The players lined up laughing and joking, but their eyes were fixed on the golden Hercules Cup, walked up step by step.

"Congratulations, Loris, you've done a great job!" Walking mechanically step by step, listening to the praise and compliments from many unknown football stars around him, Kenny forced a smile, and kept humbly saying Answered, but his eyes didn't change a bit from the beginning to the end.

There is no doubt that Kenny's state also represents the state of all Italian players. They all watched the Hercules Cup with embarrassing eyes. Only the coach Zoff held the stage for everyone and kept chatting with these celebrities. with.There is no way, none of the current Italian players has ever touched the Hercules Cup. Regarding the ultimate dream of this professional player and the collective highest honor that can be obtained, everyone has the most enthusiastic attitude and the most hot eyes. There is only trophy left in my heart, how can I accommodate other things?

"Great work, Mr. Zoff!" "You are the best coach, we love you!" "Continue to bring Italy forward! You are our legend!" "Italian boys are awesome!"

For Zoff, everything he has endured in the past has paid off at this moment. The words that were once ridiculed by foreign media reporters and disliked by domestic politicians seem to be no longer important at this moment!After the thrill of football, what remains is unparalleled beauty. The stubbornness in the past has won the best harvest and reward!

Young Italian fans and countless middle-aged and elderly fans hugged each other tightly. At this moment, regardless of gender, age, all Italian fans hugged each other shoulder to shoulder and sang the unchanging song of the Italian team. ballad.Many tears of joy were shed at this moment of deafening cheers, the Italians are back on top of the world, and the gold content of this honor is incomparable.

The South Korean team with the right time and place, the Spanish team with Real Madrid and Barcelona as the backbone, the German team that is walking alone in the dark and is about to reveal the light, and the Brazilian team that has finally carried the banner of artistic football!

Wearing the gold medals one by one, the Italian players clustered the trophies in the middle. As the captain, the 34-year-old Maldini deservedly stood in the center. When he raised the Hercules Cup with both hands under the cheers of the crowd, At this moment, all the tenderness at the time of raising it high above the head finally turned into a passionate cry and carnival.Fireworks accompanied by cheers that shook the sky made everyone sleepless that night.

The inadvertent flashes of Senegal, a small African country, have written a subversive theme for the Korea-Japan World Cup. In the context of subversion, Zidane and Figo can only live in people's memories.When Argentina's flowing long hair is also gone with the wind, the theme of subversion cannot be added.Looking at those unfamiliar faces and thinking about the past glory, people suddenly found that under the theme of subversion, only Brazil and Italy maintained the last dignity of the dynasty.

It's hard for you to imagine that Brazil didn't dare to mention winning the championship before the game, and Phil Scolari could no longer bear the domestic hysteria. The best destination he designed for himself was to escape quietly.The Samba Kingdom does not have the courage to win the championship. Italy, the European champion, also showed silent silence in front of the public. You can only reserve a little territory for yourself under the theme of subversion.

The French dynasty has been overturned, and the theme of the World Cup has also been written as subversion. Now the law of goalposts has been overturned, and doom has also been overturned.The subversion of subversion is the traditional stage. In the face of the law of the pyramid, the Roman Empire added another brick to the pyramid, and Italy began to shout: We are the champions, and we want to create our own dynasty.

The winners completed the subversion of the subversion, while the losers collapsed halfway. Wöhler said, I also have regrets, but I have no time for regrets. The rigorous Germans began to prepare for 1400, which will be 2006 days later, and they are also looking forward to the subversion. subversion.

The subversion has begun, the favorites are out, and the background should play its power.

The encounter between Scolari and Zoff in the final was not due to luck. Ronaldo said, I waited for 4 years, and I want to get back what belongs to me. Buffon said, I have long been used to European shells, and I want to Meet the storms of South America.

Ronaldo has accumulated strength for 4 years, the sword honed in 4 years, facing the best defense line in the world, the best young goalkeeper in the world, Ronaldo stretched out his long-planned foot, the tacit understanding of 3R is beyond words , this time Ronaldo faced the rising star Buffon, and he succeeded!Buffon made the most unnecessary omissions at the most rigorous moment, Ronaldo, all he has to do is a light poke, this light kick Ronaldo has waited for 4 years, and this light kick is over The 4-year nightmare of a superstar has ended and begun. All the stories happened in 2002 in the fantastic Yokohama.

But everything was so dreamy that it was unbelievable. Italy's two goals in a row was almost suffocating, and Santoldo's order in the face of danger made all the Brazilians shudder. They couldn't help but asked with a wry smile, why?Why are Italian goalkeepers always scary!Why is this generation of Italy so star-studded, there are famous players in every position, and there are top players in the world on every front.

When Piero misfires with Inzaghi, when Inzaghi misfires with Vieri, when Vieri misfires with Kenny, when Kenny also misfires, Maldini will appear where he is most needed, Thor Dee will send a fatal blow, Cannavaro and Nesta will defend the penalty area, and the old and new goalkeepers will stand in front of the gate, just like the old and new generations of iron-blooded midfielder Di Biagi Otto and Gattuso.

Don't forget that there are still younger Montella and others who are still waiting for the old ones to grow old. No one will doubt Italy anymore, and no one will doubt whether they can create a dynasty that spans the top of world football.

After the match between Germany and Turkey for the third place, there was a touching scene at the Daegu Stadium. Players from Germany and Turkey joined hands to thank all the fans. In fact, this is also a farewell, a kind of farewell to the World Cup, and to the passionate fans of Japan and South Korea. bid farewell.Turkish team coach Gunesh talked about this World Cup after the game, he said that all he saw when he closed his eyes was the fiery red color, and he said that Korean fans would use this color to conquer the world.

Germany and Turkey are actually the dark horses in this World Cup. There have been many opinions about this third-place match before. Some people think that for the German and Turkish teams, the third-place bronze medal is more important than the gold medal, so people worry whether the match will reappear. Question referee.But in the battle between Germany and Turkey, what we saw was a level playing field and what we saw was a wonderful confrontation.The World Cup has finally come to an end in its own rules of the game.

The bronze medal battle also has golden highlights.Türkiye ran wildly all the way, but Su Ke, the number one star, was drowsy on the court.In this game, Su Ke ended his downturn. He cooperated tacitly with No. 17 Ilhan and directly directed the Turkish team's three goals.Suker's return made Turkey perfect in this World Cup.

Fanatical celebrations filled every corner. After avoiding the media and returning to the locker room, the Italian players plunged into the world of champagne. They went crazy for an hour before gradually calming down. The staff walked into the locker room only to find that the exhausted players had already fallen asleep after drinking wildly. This situation is dumbfounding.

According to news from Rome on July 7, the flight of the Italian national team, which had just won the World Cup for the fourth time, entered Italy and was escorted by four fighter jets. A screen of colored smoke was placed to form the word "Fourth" to celebrate Italy's record fourth World Cup victory."

At the same time, thousands of fans gathered on both sides of the 15-kilometer-long road leading to the official residence of Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi. They painted the Italian team emblem on their faces, waved the national flag in their hands, and shouted "Italy "Italy" and the names of Kenny and other stars, and some fans even danced passionately, preparing to give their World Cup heroes the warmest welcome."

"Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi will also join the ranks of welcoming heroes. He will personally meet the Italian team's meritorious coach Zoff and the whole team at the prime minister's residence, and present them with special honorary medals in recognition of their contributions to Italian football. At the same time, the capital Rome will also hold a grand parade celebration. At that time, Italian soldiers will display the Hercules Cup in the parade and celebrate the victory with the fans.”

"It took only 630 minutes for the Italian team to win the World Cup, but it took them a total of 45 hours to go from Tokyo to Italy, and then to participate in the celebrations in Rome and other three places. After returning to Italy on July 7 , the celebration of the Italian team continued until the early morning of the next day, but because the players were too tired, most of the players did not stick to the entire celebration schedule, and the disappointed fans even smashed the Italian team's bus along the way angrily. rotten."

When the news of the next day was disclosed, everyone was shocked, but when they took a closer look, they showed helpless expressions.

Due to the long delay in the middle, the special plane of the Italian team arrived at Fiumicino International Airport at 6:46 pm local time, more than 5 hours later than originally planned.After that, the Italian team rested at the airport for two hours before starting the parade in Rome at 8:40 pm.According to the original plan, the route of the Italian team was to start from Fiumicino International Airport, pass through the city center and then to the prime minister's residence. However, due to the large number of fans, the convertible car of the Italian team walked very slowly. 2 o'clock in the morning the next day.The Italian team members were too tired from the long-distance travel. They asked to end the parade and go directly to the airport.

So in the convertible car of the parade, the head coach Zoff with a microphone in his hand expressed his apology to the Rio fans on behalf of the entire Brazilian team.He said: "Fans and friends, I apologize to everyone, but we have participated in more than [-] hours of celebrations, the players are very tired, I need to take them home."

After Zoff finished speaking, the Italian team bus, which had been following the parade convertible before, approached, and all the Italian players got on the bus.The Roma fans looked very disappointed. They approached the bus, shouting and screaming, while waving the Italian flag, wanting to take a last look at their heroes.

But at the moment when the Italian team bus turned its head, some irrational Roma fans threw stones at the Italian team bus. Three windows of the bus were smashed, while the glass of the other windows was completely smashed.But the bus didn't stop, but drove towards the airport at high speed under the escort of six police cars.

On the other side, when they heard the news that the Italian team would not be in Turin, the fans who had been waiting there for several hours were extremely disappointed. There was no greater confusion.In the end, when the Italian team arrived at the airport, it was already 4:[-] in the morning. Juliano, Montella and others directly transferred back to their hometown, while Kenny slept directly in Totti's home in Rome.

It is said that only Vieri, Inzaghi, Maldini and other players who played for the Milan duo were left at the third stop in Milan Avenue to meet the local fans. At that time, the players of the Italian team were already too tired. , an elderly guy like Maldini couldn't stand on his feet in the car on the Via Milano, so the celebration in Via Milano lasted only two hours, and it was sloppy at 6:[-] in the morning. It's over.

For this reason, the Italian Football Association, while appealing to the fans to be considerate of the international players, also decisively stated that starting from the 15th of this month, the staff will take the Hercules Cup for a national parade, so that every fan can really feel the championship that belongs to everyone .As soon as this remark came out, while the Italian Football Association earned enough favor, the players finally got rid of some extreme fans and the media.

At the same time, FIFA announced that Ronaldo was awarded the Golden Globe Award by reporters covering the World Cup, with 25% of the votes, while Kenny (21%) and Kahn (18%) won the Silver Ball Award and the Bronze Ball Award respectively. .For a while, many media were in an uproar, saying that the voting result was "surprising", and some media even sensationalized, throwing out such things as "Brazilian sponsors rigged the election", "Just like in 1998, FIFA specially used this award to comfort the losers" and so on. Strange talk.

In fact, as long as you know a little about the voting process, you won’t be too surprised by this result, and it’s not surprising that Kenny saw himself being overwhelmed by Ronaldo. After all, no one can snatch the demeanor of aliens. The ball double winner deserves his name.

Furthermore, the voters are the global reporters covering the last two games, and the three or four finals will be held on June 6. The reporters who voted on this day certainly would not have thought that Kenny would make a magnificent move to turn the tide the next day.Judging from the notice issued by FIFA, the voting time of the journalists interviewing the final on June 29 is also before the game. Judging from the performance before the final, it is true that Ronaldo is more decisive than Kenny and has the most votes. reasonable.

The voting procedure in 1998 was the same. Before the final, Ronaldo had almost secured the Golden Boot. It was reasonable to be elected as the "Golden Globe Award". Who would have thought that 3R would perform abnormally in the final, which would make people sigh?
In terms of fairness, it is of course more appropriate to select the "Golden Globe Award" after the final, but FIFA also has its own difficulties.On the night of the finals, reporters were too busy writing articles to vote.If the voting takes place the day after the final, many journalists have already returned home, and the voting coverage will inevitably be affected.On the day of the finals, journalists also voted in the press center of the Yokohama Arena.The polling office is located at the entrance of the reporter's work area. The voting method is not unoriginal. The opening of the cardboard box containing the votes is too small, and the ballots have to be folded twice in order to be inserted, which makes people laugh out loud.Ballots were scattered on the table, and there was no one to supervise the voting. Even the sponsor of this vote was Nike.

But every vote must be written on the voter and his work unit. If you doubt the quality of the reporters hastily, you will be judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. If Nike buys reporters, how many people will it have to buy?Isn't this a ticking time bomb?And Ronaldo was not stingy. Although he lost the final game, he donated all the bonuses he got to the World Red Cross to help those children in need.

At the same time, it is worth noting that with the end of the World Cup, the real transfer window has opened.

Inter Milan club officials were the first to stand up and formally refuted rumors that they had renewed their contract with Ronaldo. According to local media reports, after Ronaldo won the World Cup Golden Boot this year, Inter Milan immediately signed a four-year new contract with him. The star will play for Inter Milan until 2007, and the media further revealed that Ronaldo's annual salary will soar to 1 million euros.

However, according to the news received from the Inter Milan club today, they have not discussed the contract renewal with Ronaldo.An Inter Milan club insider said that after the World Cup, they have not had any communication with the World Cup top scorer.

"Inter Milan has not received any request from Ronaldo's side so far."

After Inter Milan, countless clubs also jumped out.
