Time has passed, and perhaps the most important thing we think about when we talk about Brazilian football today is Ronaldo, Ronaldo Jr. and Rivaldo, but the best strike combination before them is undoubtedly the twin stars Romario and Bebeto.
The division of labor is clear, and the model of 1+1 is greater than 2
Since joining the Brazilian senior team, Bebeto has moved from the previous forward position to the shadow forward, as the second striker behind the first striker Romario to complete the attack planning and personally pick up the goal. That is to say, even if the opponent can defend the lone wolf, then Bebeto has enough space to help the team score. And the two men's super personal ability also often swapped roles in the game, such a way of playing really makes the opponent invincible.
Romario assists Bebeto: Round of 16 against the United States
Bebeto assists Romario
Of course, this situation also continued to the later 3R combination, With Da Luo occupying the center position and involving the opponent's main defense, while the attacking midfielder Rivaldo, as the organizational core of the frontcourt attack, instigated the overall advancement, and Luo Xiao took into account the attributes of midfield and personal shooting. The only change is that the trio can complete the role change in an instant, because it is difficult for the opponent to know who will complete the final shot! When the situation is difficult to open, Da Luo often retreats to the midfield to complete the one-stop service with the ball.
The 1994 World Cup in the United States was extremely high in gold
Lone Wolves and Bebeto teamed up to bring Brazil the 94-year Hercules Cup, a trophy whose gold content speaks for itself. In that era of strife, a look at the main competitors of the time leads to the conclusion: Argentina led by Maradona, Italy led by Baggio, and defending champions Germany.
Brazil scored a total of 11 goals in this tournament, of which the two combined contributed 8 goals, and the cooperation between the two sides can only be described as amazing. Lone Wolf had this to say about his best partner: "Most of my goals on the national team came from Bebeto's assists. After Romario was expelled from the national team for deteriorating relations with Pereira, Bebeto repeatedly demanded that the World Cup must bring the national team's chief scorer, saying that only Romario could lead the team to the championship.
Legendary work: Cradle Dance
In the quarter-finals, Brazil eliminated the Netherlands 3-2 and in the 63rd minute of the match Bebeto dribbled through the middle of the road, easily scoring the ball after passing the dutchman's last defender. Then he once again made a classic celebratory action cradle dance that can be passed down to the world.
Romario and his teammates also let Bebeto complete a celebratory action alone before jumping up to dance with him, because a group of teammates in the dressing room had reached this consensus before. The cooperation on the field is full of tacit understanding, even the way of celebrating, is it possible for such a team not to win the championship?
Mutual achievement, selfless team spirit
Once upon a time, there was a saying that the 94 U.S. World Cup was a World Cup belonging to Romario alone, and the lone wolf scored 5 goals alone and was elected the best player of the tournament and the world footballer of the year, and it can be considered that without Romario there would be no Brazilian team to win the championship. However, as the team's second striker, Bebeto is also indispensable, whether it is technical and tactical contributions or data to reflect that he can compete with the lone wolf.
Bebeto assisted Romario by 2 goals and scored 3 goals himself. In the team's overall offensive system, he is invincible as a lone wolf cover role, the first task is to pull out the gap for Roma Riola and attract more defenders, and the secondary task is to "take time" to shoot and score. This selfless spirit evolves the relationship between the two into a teamwork, rather than a competitive relationship on the front. In response, lone wolves said: "On the field, my best partner is Bebeto. A sentence that is understated, but it is enough to illustrate Bebeto's selfless dedication.
And Bebeto also needs the strong support of Romario to achieve its maximum potential, so it can only be said that the cooperation of the two makes this samba legion invincible!
