Heroes, have the skills of heroes. Heroes, there is heroic luck. If the times are unlucky, even the top masters are only left with helpless parts, such examples are simply not too many; similarly, if there is good luck in the air, but there is no matching skill, the consequences are equally worrying. For example, Sarenko, who was once famous, his deeds are very representative, fully explaining what is not worthy of the name:
Oleg Salenko was born on October 25, 1969 in Leningrad, soviet union, in what is now St. Petersburg, Russia. With a lot more football talent than the average person, he became a member of the Leningrad Zenit team of the Earth Club, which is now the Zenit St. Petersburg team, and began his career.
To be sure, Sarenko's performance at Leningrad Zenit was not good, and as a striker, he scored the most goals in the season, and only 7 goals were scored, which is the result of his participation in 26 games. In other words, Sarenko's most efficient season in Leningrad Zenit was actually close to the level of 4 games to score 1 goal. This kind of scoring efficiency is definitely not high in any league. Therefore, it is conceivable that Sarenko's level is...
It is quite surprising that such a player who is not very good in his own league actually made a splash at the 1989 World Youth Championship, scoring 5 goals in only 4 games, unexpectedly winning the Golden Boot Award of the World Youth Championship and making his name in one fell swoop.
However, everyone is well aware that the Golden Boot award in the cup is extremely accidental. Although this award can enhance Sarenko's fame, it is not enough for various experts to regard him as a future emperor star. In fact, the most brilliant and also the most favored player in that cup was not Sarenko, who is the top scorer, but Paul Sousa, who commanded Ruoding on the pitch, a midfielder who is not known for scoring goals.
After the End of the World Youth Championships, Sarenko had not yet enjoyed the dividends brought to him by the Golden Boot, and he first encountered a major event that shocked the world: the collapse of the Soviet Union. Surprisingly, Sarenko did not choose Russia, but joined Ukraine. What is even more incredible is that Sarenko actually threw himself into the arms of Russia and played for the Russian national team after playing in an official match for the Ukrainian national team.
When the story develops to this point, many fans may take it for granted that Sarenko is the Golden Boot of the World Youth Championship, and in Russia, where the level of football is not the top, it should be regarded as a treasure, and it is easy to get into the position.
However, the actual situation is that Sarenko is not welcome in the Russian national team at all, let alone become the main striker of the team, and even the big list of the national team is difficult...
Was it the Russian national team that deliberately targeted Sarenko? Of course not. It's just that Sarenko doesn't live up to his name. The World Youth Championship Golden Boot winner's performance at the club is quite mediocre, and throughout his career, the season in which he was able to score doubles in the league was actually only 3 seasons.
Measuring the level of a striker in terms of goal efficiency seems a bit biased. After all, the green world has never lacked the kind of strikers who are not too efficient but have great tactical significance. Drogba, for example, is a model of this.
However, Sarenko is not the tactical fulcrum of Drogba, but a real final striker. Measuring this type of player by goal efficiency, that's not a problem at all...
Not reused in the national team, not outstanding at the club - these two factors are combined in one place, what level is Sarenko, is it still necessary to say? Although this jun bears the great name of the Golden Boot of the World Youth Championship, he is not far from the level of a first-class striker.
However, Sarenko's luck is much better than the vast majority of the first-class strikers. Just as his national team's prospects were bleak, the Russian national team became infighting without warning, and more than a dozen important players announced their withdrawal from the national team.
It was in this extremely special context that the Russian national team remembered Sarenko and brought the unworthy striker to the World Cup in the United States.
It turns out that Sarenko's strength is indeed not enough to help Russia achieve any good rankings. In the first two games of the group stage, Russia lost both battles, and Sarenko performed mediocrely, with only one penalty in the account. It is worth mentioning that this is also Sarenko's debut goal in the Russian national team. At this time, he was already 25 years old...
Losing like this, everyone understands how likely it is for Russia to break through from the group stage. As a result, the third match of the group stage between russia and Cameroon has almost become a routine competition, with few followers.
However, in such an innocuous contest, Sarenko played a phenomenal performance, scoring 5 goals in a single game, shocking the entire world football world in one fell swoop.
Why can Sarenko's performance be so crazy? This is thanks to his rival Cameroon. According to Sarenko himself: "The tactics of African teams are always a bit crazy, and once they fall behind by the score, they will rush to the top. We scored first, and Cameroon pressed in..."
Five goals in a single game, combined with a previous penalty, brought Sarenko's total number of goals at the World Cup in the United States to six. As a result, this has the wonder of Sarenko returning home in the group stage but winning the World Cup Golden Boot, which also makes him the only World Youth Championship and World Cup golden boot in football.
Such exaggerated personal achievements will naturally make Sarenko's reputation soar, and naturally many teams will be interested in Sarenko. In the following days, several teams, including The veteran la Liga powerhouse Valencia, issued invitations to Sarenko.
Unfortunately, the players who do not deserve the name are doomed to shine in the club. Not to mention the extremely competitive La Liga, he can't even play the Turkish league. A few years later, Sarenko's fame did not increase, but declined, and at one point he was even more embarrassed by no one.
In order to support his family, Sarenko went to the A League in 2000, when he was 31 years old, to try out. When he first arrived, Sarenko did not seem to recognize his strength and the level of A and left behind the harsh words of "I am only willing to play for the top 3 teams".
However, no strong team in A and A looks up to Sarenko, and even those middle and lower teams in A and A look down on Sarenko. During Sarenko's trial training, Lee Jang-so actually questioned Sarenko's Chinese agent: "Is he really Sarenko?" ”
To be able to make Lee Jang-so sigh like this, you can imagine how Sarenko's level is. And this, I am afraid, is not something that Sarenko can explain when he is older? You know, at that time, he was just 31 years old. Even if his physical strength is not as good as his peak, his consciousness and experience should still be there. However, during the A trial, Sarenko's performance was far from his reputation, and even the middle and lower teams looked down on him. So, what is Sarenko's skill? It goes without saying. What does it mean to be unworthy of the name? That's it.
Thus, there is the only world youth championship and world cup double golden boot in football, which was rejected by A A. It seems ridiculous, but it is actually reasonable.
And Sarenko's ending just proves the rationality of A A's rejection of him. He slipped into the Polish league and couldn't get mixed up after just 1 year, so he had to announce that he was hanging up his boots.
It is hard to imagine that a person who is not worthy of the name of A A and A rejected, but has become the only World Youth Championship and World Cup double Golden Boot in football, leaving a strong mark in the history of football, think about it is also drunk...
