At the 1992 European Championship in Sweden, we witnessed the Danish team under the leadership of Laudrup Jr., all the way through the barriers to defeat many powerful countries to win the European Championship to create the famous "Danish Fairy Tale". But unfortunately, his brother Laudrup was not involved in this wonderful fairy tale because of his disagreement with the head coach and his withdrawal from the national team. Although he did not win the championship, as the only Danish football player who played for both Barcelona and Real Madrid teams, he was undoubtedly one of the best midfielders of the 90s. He always assists his teammates with extremely accurate passes on the pitch, conquers the fans with his amazing dribbling skills, and he comes from Denmark on the europa continent, his name is" Michel Laudrup.
Born on 15 June 1964 in Copenhagen, Denmark, Michel Laudrup became involved in the sport of football under the influence of his father Finn Laudrup. Because his father was a famous football club in Londby, a famous Danish football club, Laudrup followed his father's footsteps and joined the Brondby Academy for formal football training.
In 1982, at the age of 18, Laudrup quickly conquered the Fans of Brondby with his extraordinary football talent, and was elected Danish Footballer of the Year for his outstanding performances. Every time Laudrup breaks through with the ball on the green field, every foot pass can always make his teammates play less cumbersome and more simple...
Laudrup's outstanding performances in Danish football attracted the attention of europa league giants, and he himself understood that in order to develop his football career, he had to go abroad to challenge better leagues. Not long after, Juventus of the Apennine Peninsula came to the door, in 1983, the Danish genius Laudrup went to Turin to join the Bianconeri, but due to the restrictions of the Foreign Players Rules in Serie A, coupled with the fact that the team already had two superstars, Platini and Bognac, Laudrup could only be temporarily loaned by Juve to the Blue Eagles Lazio for two seasons...
Laudrup did not win the title in his two seasons with Lazio, but his performances allowed Serie A football to witness a rising star. When The Polish superstar Bognac left Turin, the Bianconeri were ready to take over, laudrup at the end of the loan period.
In the 85/86 season, Laudrup returned to Juventus at the end of his loan, and in his first season he scored 7 goals in 29 appearances to help the team win the Serie A title, which was also the first heavyweight title of Laudrup's career. Laudrup showed his football talent that season, and his mastery of the game and his ability to read were already among the best stars in Europe at the time. Even Platini, who retired at Juve, has said that "Laudrup is the future me", but unfortunately Laudrup was plagued by injuries in the last three seasons of Juve...
Barca's godfather Cruyff once said that he had three "gems" that could not be exchanged, and these three people he referred to Stoichkov, who was responsible for the siege, the defensive general Ronald Koeman, and the other was the core of the midfield - Michel Laudrup.
When the sea breeze blows across the Iberian Peninsula and when the sun illuminates the Camp Nou, in the summer of 1989, Laudrup left the Apennine Peninsula where he had lived for six years to join the Spanish giants Barcelona, coached by his childhood football idol.
In 1989, Laudrup joined Cruyff's Barcelona "Dream Team", and if his performance in Serie A was short-lived, his performance in La Liga was world-class. In his first season (89/90), he scored 3 goals in 33 appearances to help the team reach third place in La Liga, and although he did not win the league title, he won the Copa del Rey that year. As Laudrup gradually integrated into the team, he became the absolute core of the team under Cruyff's coaching! In his second season (90/91), Barca won La Liga under his leadership and also won the Spanish Super Cup.
Remember the 1992 European Championship, when the Danish team eliminated many strong opponents and won the European Championship to create the famous "Danish Fairy Tale" in European football. Unfortunately, Laudrup decided not to play for Denmark because of the conflict with coach Richard Møller Nelson, and the eldest Laudrup missed this fairy tale, while his younger brother (Brian Laudrup) won the European Championship for leading the national team...
Although Laudrup missed the European Cup, he helped Barcelona win their first Champions League title in the 1992 Champions League final and also successfully defended La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup. The Champions League title is also the only Champions League trophy in Laudrup's entire career.
Laudrup at Barcelona relies on direct passes and picks to tear apart each opponent's defence with ease, and if he has the chance, he will stand at the top of the penalty area and shoot a long-range shot directly to threaten the opposing goalkeeper. Laudrup won the trophy won by the club during his five years with Barca, but after his fallout with Barca, he moved to Real Madrid...
In the summer of 1994, at the age of 30, Laudrup moved to Real Madrid and quickly became a superstar at the Santiago Bernabeu. As the only Dane in Danish football to transfer from Barca to Real Madrid, he snatched the La Liga title from his old club Barca with an extremely good performance. Although Laudrup only played for Real Madrid for two years, he conquered the fans at the Bernabeu with his outstanding performances and amazing football skills.
Two years later, in the summer of France in 1998, the Danish team led by the Laudrup brothers and Schmeichel shined in world football, the Danish fairy tale soared all the way to the top 8, facing the Brazilian team in the middle of the day, the big Laudrup led the Danish fairy tale to fight with the Samba Legion for 90 minutes, almost dragging the then four-star Brazil into extra time, unfortunately Rivaldo's 60th minute goal ended the Danish fairy tale. This is also the best result of the Danish team in the World Cup so far, and this World Cup is also the last song of this dark horse that has created a fairy tale.
After the end of summer in France, the 34-year-old Laudrup announced his retirement, and a generation of world superstars came to an end. Laudrup has an imaginative vision, which is the basis of his passing and dribbling skills, he can observe everything on the green field and send that precise pass to assist his teammates, and he can even pass extremely accurately from any part of his shoes.
Laudrup has won many honors throughout his career, 5 La Liga titles, 1 Champions League, 1 Serie A, etc... This is how many players exhaust the achievement of their entire careers that may not be achieved. Although he has won many championships, what he wants most and regrets most in his heart is the European Championship title of 92 years. If Laudrup hadn't quit the national team, wouldn't this wonderful fairy tale have him, but unfortunately there is no if in this world. In any case, Laudrup's mark on world football is indelible, and whenever the old fans think of the Dane running on the green field, we find that these pictures still linger in our minds for a long time...
