author:International Online

International online report (reporter Li Jin): At 6:45 local time in Brazil, the referee just blew the final whistle of the World Cup final, the game was over, and germany defeated Argentina 1-0 to win the Hercules Cup! After more than a month, the passionate feast of fans around the world has finally reached the time to say goodbye.

This is The temple of football in Brazil, although unfortunately, Brazil did not have their long-awaited World Cup summit here. But I believe that for the whole world, the past month or so has become an indelible mark for everyone. As the lyrics of the World Cup theme song "We Will Find A Way" sing, we never have to face the world alone, because we already have it!

More than half a century ago, Brazil had left a painful World Cup memory at the Maracanã Stadium in 1950, but this experience was once a crisis-ridden Brazil has become a truly great football kingdom; and today, 64 years later, although Brazilian football still has regrets, they still have not been able to achieve their long-cherished wish of lifting the Hercules Cup in Maracanë, but Brazilians do not have to be sad, let alone despair, because the football feast they dedicate to the world will be engraved into the history of the World Cup, the enthusiasm of Brazilians, Their laughter, revelry and even tears will be remembered by the world forever along with the memories of fans around the world.

Looking back on the World Cup journey a month ago, it can be said that it has left a lot of valuable wealth in world football: in this World Cup, starting from the group stage, the gorgeous offensive football has fully returned, such a tide has been unstoppable, and the advanced technology and tactics represented by Germany will become the mainstream for many years in the future.

In addition, there is also a commemorative change of dynasty. Every World Cup has a champion and will usher in a new king. But in Brazil, we are seeing a change of dynasty, and the world football map may be quietly shuffling. Spain, which had dominated the world in the previous four years, regrettably ended, but at the same time, we also saw the steady rise of Germany and the Netherlands, which were gradually reaching the peak. Of course, the comprehensive sinking of Asian football and the problems of African football deserve deep reflection, but we are also pleased to see that the boundaries between strength and weakness in international football are constantly blurring, like Colombia, Costa Rica, Greece, relying on balanced techniques and tactics, the vitality of weak teams with overall attack and defense, one or two stars to determine the era has been unsustainable, the absolute boundary between strong and weak is constantly narrowing, which may mark the overall level of football Forward step is unstoppable.

On the stage of the World Cup, great stars are always kings. The 70s of the last century belonged to Pele, the 80s belonged to Maradona, and the 2014 World Cup in Brazil still opened an era of new kings of stars. Da Silva Neymar, 23, Thomas Müller, 25, Andio Messi, 27, these young stars may have achieved the myth of World War I in Brazil in 2014, but the stars we see shining, the rise of a large number of potential stars, let us remember these names, the next 5 years, or even 10 years, they will perform in the spotlight, will be written into the history of world football.

If many years later, when we recall such a summer filled with football, if we are still full of nostalgia at that time, it is because of the depth of love. Over the past month, the World Cup has accompanied us with those wonderful goals in our veins, those great victories that have made us look up to the mountains, those laughter and those tears, which will make us unforgettable.

Friends in the audience, right now in front of me, the Malacanã Stadium, the temple of Brazilian football that can accommodate 80,000 people, is buzzing with people, everyone is cheering, they are celebrating the victory of the German team, they are remembering this great game in this way. At this moment, if you look up at the sky in this great stadium like me, your eyes are full of fireworks, under Monte Cristo, this temple illuminated by the light of God has written a satisfactory end to the glory of the World Cup.

At this moment, here, the 2014 World Cup in Brazil has come to an end, and we will miss it.
