2021 is fast approaching, will you miss it? Maybe, because every year in life will leave a beautiful moment worth collecting. Maybe not, because the pandemic is still going on, and many people have experienced painful separations, with work, with life, with people.
In 2021, how can international football be missing a "departure" word? But there is "departure", there is "return", away and return, these two antonyms, together constitute this year's football scene, let us have joy, sorrow, laughter, tears.
【Departure】
This year, some people left home, left their homeland, and left the team that had been playing for many years and thought they would never be separated.
Messi never wanted to leave Barca, he originally thought that he would renew his contract and end up at Camp Nou, but what he did not expect was a departure statement. As a result, the 21-year red and blue legend came to an end in this year, waving his hand, leaving countless records, and looking back, it was already the 30th in another blue and red battle robe.
At the other pole of Spanish football, another leader also turned around and said goodbye. After 16 years of spring and autumn, Ramos has dedicated the best years of his career to Real Madrid, and the four Champions League trophies tell his success here, but they can't help him finish at the Bernabeu. As a result, a pair of sworn enemies of the national derby actually became teammates in Greater Paris, and the world was uncertain.
This year, someone left football, took off his shirt, hung up his boots, and the legend ended.
Robben retired, we can no longer see his trademark right-side cut left foot burst, never see the brilliant orange of the green field, there is no peter pan in the world.
Rooney retired, the glory of the Manchester United era has long been a thing of the past, but he is still the all-time top scorer king of the Red Devils and England, and we can still see him in the coaching bench and imagine the warm picture of the future returning to the theater of dreams.
The one who retired in the most hurry was Aguero. He left Manchester City, who had been playing for 10 years, and came to Barca with the glory of the team's all-time goalscorer king, who thought he would be reunited with his friend Messi, but he was confused, Messi was gone, and the heart problem forced him to suddenly make the decision to hang up his boots, which was extremely regrettable.
This year, some people have left the world, but there are more brilliant stars in heaven, accompanied by Cruyff and Maradona.
Gad Muller is gone, the Golden Bomber can no longer set sail, most of us have never seen him play with our own eyes, but we have heard the legend that he won the Champions League, the European Cup and the World Cup, and Bayern and German fans know how great this goal machine really is.
Colin Bale is gone, probably not heard of his name by many fans, but before City's re-emergence, he was one of the greatest stars in The Blue Moon's history and another King of Manchester.
This year, someone is so close to the most important and glorious glory, but so far away.
Levan and the Golden Globes are the shortest distance in the world: infinitely close, but never to 0. Last year, he deserved it, but the Golden Globes were cancelled due to the epidemic. This year he was still a favorite to win awards, but in the end he came in second. But it doesn't matter, with 69 goals a year, "World Front" is still our glory.
【Return】
This year, there is a departure, and there is more return. Return, return, is the most moving story, the most happy ending, the warmest emotional conversion.
Champions, back. After nine years, Chelsea have won the Champions League again, and the last time they won the title, Terry, Drogba and Lampard were still there. This time, Tuchel took office halfway, replicating the magic of Di Matteo and creating a new legend of Havertz, Jorginho, Mount, Kante and Mendy.
After 11 years, Inter Milan won the Serie A title again. In 2010, it was the heyday of the Nerazzurri, Mourinho, the Triple Crown, dominated the world. After ten years of dormancy and several tosses, Conte finally led Inter to re-emerge, and who in Nerazuri did not shout "Grandpa Qinghui"?
After 7 years, Atletico Madrid won La Liga again. In 2014, Simeone led Atletico to an embarrassing 18-year record without a title, and the third pole of La Liga rose strongly. In 2021, simeone, once again king, solved the itch of 7 years. Of course, there is Suarez, leaving Barca, coming to Atletico, after winning the championship, his tears are flying, what is this tear flowing? Five flavors and miscellaneous stale.
This year, there was also a penalty shootout in Italy to reverse England, and after 57 years, it won the European Championship again, ruining the dream of the opponent to win the championship on home. In addition, Argentina won the Copa America championship after 28 years, and Messi finally tasted the taste of the national team championship, and thus won the Ballon d'Or for the seventh time.
The king has also returned. C Ronaldo returned to Manchester United, a wanderer who had been away for 12 years, finally returned home, and is now the "king of football history", and here, the 36-year-old has broken through the 800-goal milestone and continues to move towards new goals.
After leaving Inter, Conte returned to the Premier League, and his destination was still London. In West London, he led Chelsea to the Premier League title, this time in North London, where Spurs and Kane and Son Heung-min waited to be saved by the Iron Marshal.
Allegri, who had been idle for a long time, refused the invitations of many giants and returned to Juve, as if he had been waiting for the old woman to be called again. But without Ronaldo, can the Bianconeri win the championship again? The outlook does not seem promising.
Zidane left Real Madrid again and Ancelotti returned to Real Madrid again. C Ronaldo has long gone, Bale is no longer brave, but Benzema is still there, and has become more mature, and An Shuai once again led the team to attack La Liga and the Champions League.
Harvey also returned, back to Barcelona, in danger. He has never coached at a European club and lacks enough experience, but because he has the purest DNA, he is infinitely expected by sa fans. However, is Xavi another Guardiola, or camp Nou's version of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer? Only time will give the answer.
2021 waving goodbye, 2022 hugging and greeting, in the departure and return again and again, missing, reminiscing, longing, longing...
