After the game, Rivaldo, who was nearly 50 years old, posted a photo of him walking towards the players' tunnel on his personal social media, writing: "It feels really good to be back here again. Anfield, you are one of the greatest stadiums in the world. ”

Born in 1972, Rivaldo was one of the world's best frontcourt players, having formed a fantastic "3R" combination with Ronaldo and Ronaldinho and helping the Samba Army win the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan. The Brazilian team's midfield at that time was full of stars, in addition to the 3R combination, there were also superstars such as Kaka and Deniersen.

20 years have passed, and what people did not expect is that when the 3R combination can only play the Elder Games, the 44-year-old Dennielsen announced his comeback after 12 years of hanging up his boots, and he joined the Brazilian Pernambuco League team - Ibis. The Brazilian club wrote in its joining announcement: "Nothing is impossible for Ibis. Last year, we finished first in the league. This year, a seemingly impossible thing happened again, and that was when we invited a World Cup winner to join us, who would wear our uniform, and he would be Denierson! If you want to see how it feels like for the world's best players to play for the world's "worst" team, come on! ”

Shortly after the Ibis Club's official announcement, Denierson also made the announcement on his personal social media, writing: "Now I can finally announce it, it's an official news. Previously, Ibis had sent me an invitation and after consulting with my family, I decided to return to football after 12 years. Starting today, I'll be wearing the Ibis shirt! ”

Founded in 1938, Ibius is considered the "worst team" in the world because they did not win a single match in 47 months between 1980 and 1984. In addition, in the first 70 years of the team's existence, they conceded a total of 3550 goals, while scoring only 62 goals. So at the club's 70th anniversary celebration, Guinness officially awarded them the title of "Worst Team". However, after entering the 21st century, the Ibis Club has greatly improved its performance under the sponsorship of local enterprises. After signing De Nelson, club president Junier said: "I admit that we were really the worst team in the world, but that only belonged to the 80s of the last century, and now we are no longer!" We're just using this gimmick for the marketing of the team. ”

In 1977, Deniersen was born in One of Brazil's most insecure regions, Diadema. Although as a child he could only play the kind of football wrapped in rags on the side of the road, it was still difficult to hide his outstanding football talent. At the age of 17, Dennielsen had already made his mark on the São Paulo first team, and as a left winger, he was known for his breakthrough and dribbling, and his unparalleled speed, gorgeous dribbling technique and dazzling cycling skills attracted attention from the outside world. In 1996, at the age of 19, he was selected for the Brazilian national team. A year later, he won the Confederations Cup with the Samba Legion. Before the start of the 1998 Fifa World Cup in France, many European giants, including Manchester United, Barca and Real Madrid, were interested in the "dribbling master". Unexpectedly, however, La Liga's Real Betis club came halfway and they pulled out £21.6 million, which broke the record for the highest transfer fee in football at the time, to recruit Deniersen. After finishing runners-up in the 1998 World Cup with Brazil, Deniersen officially began his journey to the west, but perhaps unsatisfactory, in Spain De Nielsen did not reach the heights expected by the club's top management and fans. In the 2000-2001 season, in order to gain more playing time, Deniersen chose to return to Brazil, where he joined Flamengo on loan.

At the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, Deniersen was selected for scolari's Brazilian national team. At that time, the "3R" combination was in full swing, and Deniersen had to play as a substitute, but it was still difficult to hide its sharp edge. In the knockout match between Brazil and Turkey, Deniersen took the ball alone, and four players from the "Star Moon Legion" came up to grab it, which also became a classic in the World Cup. In the end, Brazil won the 2002 World Cup, which was also the highlight of Deniersen's career. Since then, although he has returned to Play in Europe, he has never been able to achieve the desired state, and after traveling to France, Saudi Arabia, the United States, Vietnam, Greece and other multinational leagues, in 2010, the 32-year-old Deniersen announced his retirement. After retiring, he transformed into a football commentator. Now, the "Master of The Game" is out of the mountains again, and it is not known whether his arrival will bring light to Ibis, who is currently in the relegation zone.
