When we talk about football gentlemen today, we do not mean "ball", but "character".
Pseudo-fans believe that the politically correct-sounding inspirational quote "Eat hardship and be a good person" is the world's most despicable and shameless famous quote and aphorism full of foul-smelling feudal dross.
What is "people on people"? It is a person who is above ordinary people in an upright manner, a person who rides comfortably on the heads of the people as a blessing, a person who takes it for granted and asks others to carry the sedan chair for him.
If a person's only goal in life is to be a "good person", then this type of person is actually terrible. Therefore, it is debatable to say that "people are easy to become bad after they are developed", they have not changed, they are originally bad species, but when people speak lightly, they can only be people with their tails between them, there are no bad conditions, once the black chicken becomes a phoenix, the power and money are in hand, and naturally begin to show their original shape.
"Being a good person" is a recessive gene engraved in most people's bones, and the external conditions will inevitably be revealed once they are mature. Understanding this, you can know how the current "people" are drunk and golden, money power trading, crazy show off wealth, fancy corruption.
When you understand this, you know how great the rest of the world is. They have the world in mind, compassion for the heavens, worries and worries of the world first, happiness and happiness after the world, peace and happiness when they are poor, adherence to morality when they are rich, righteousness and dispersion of wealth and sympathy for the weak, and perseverance to forge ahead, they are warriors against the current and the true light of human civilization.
Speaking of which there are people here who have to refute, where is such a person? Human nature is inherently evil, even if they are hypocrites, just posturing.
Oh, I am small and ugly, I have been circling around the circle of the drill camp all my life, I am blinded by utilitarianism, I am blinded by lard, and I feel that greatness does not exist when I can't see greatness, and this typical idealist idea is not worth refuting.
At the top of world football, there is such a pure land. They are world stars, rich in their families, and truly "superior" in the eyes of outsiders. They came from a poor background, suffered infinitely much, and finally succeeded after overcoming infinitely many difficulties. But they are not proud of their merits, do not squander, do not have a frame, are enthusiastic about public welfare, seek the welfare of their hometown and the well-being of the people, they are real communist fighters.
There are five stars I know with this quality, such people, let's call them "gentlemen", not too much!
One, the "People's Ball King" Diego Maradona
Maradona, born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1960, is a former Argentine captain, national hero and recognized world champion.
Maradona was born in the capital town of Fiorijo and had a family of eight children in a slum. Standard bottom people, but the king of the ball has not forgotten his origin all his life.
In addition to the world-renowned title of "king of the ball", Maradona also has an identity - a communist fighter.
Maradona had two lifelong idols: Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. He has two famous tattoos on his body, Che Guevara on his right arm and Castro on his left calf. Both were Latin American revolutionaries who were anti-imperialist and concerned about the grassroots.
Why are they all kings, but Maradona is much more popular in Latin America than Pele? Why are they all kings, but Lao Ma can win the heartfelt respect of fans and people in third world countries? - because he has never forgotten who he is.
Maradona has said in public more than once over the past 20 years that Bailey, Platini, Grondona and the US government are the "most vicious cancer" in the world because they are "on the side of the powerful" and themselves "on the side of the people."
In the summer of 1996, Maradona visited China with the Boca Youth Team, and when he ate an authentic Peking duck meal at the Kunlun Hotel in Beijing, he said to his Chinese friends around him: "You have such delicious things in China, don't import those American fast food (KFC, McDonald's)." A country should defend its traditions. ”
When Maradona visited the Forbidden City in Beijing, he said: "This is the greatest museum in the world, and I hope that the robbers who once robbed this museum will return the art that belongs to the Chinese people!" ”
Maradona has never been a perfect person. The pitch is shining, but off the pitch is full of controversy. Some say he is half angel, half devil, drugged, drunk, and scandalous, but on the other hand, he is consistent, pure, true, dares to fight, and never backs down.
This may be what makes Maradona Maradona: populism, patriotism, selfishness and lustfulness but caring for the people, self-defeating but unobtrusive, unobtrusive but sincere.
While the young men who fought wild with swords became new evil dragons one after another, Lao Ma was always the wind-chasing boy who flew and arrogant, despised the powerful, and gushed blood.
Two, "Smokey Too Old" Sadio Mane
Born in 1992 in Segiu, Senegal, Mane plays as a striker and former Liverpool thigh who currently plays for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.
Liverpool seem to have lost their soul after losing Mane, and at the beginning of the season they lost to the weak team one after another, basically bidding farewell to the title race. As it turns out, he may be a more important presence than Egyptian star Salah.
Mane was born and raised in the small Senegalese village of Bambaly. After becoming famous, Mane continued to give back to his fellow villagers with his income and influence, investing in many infrastructure for his hometown over the years, including a £455,000 hospital and a €250,000 school.
He also built a post office, gas station and 4G internet for his hometown. In addition, he pays money to his fellow villagers every month, and each family can receive 70 euros per month from him.
Not long ago, France Football officially announced that Senegalese striker Mane was selected for the 2022 Socrates Prize, and Mane said in his speech: "Like you said, sometimes I'm a little shy to talk about it, but I'm really happy to do what I can for our people and make things better." Why would I want ten Ferraris, 20 diamond watches or two planes? What impact do these things have on me and the world? ”
"When I was a kid, I was hungry and I had to work in the fields, I survived the hard times, fell in love with playing football, and started barefoot. Of course, I am not educated, and there are many other things that I have not received, but today, with the money I earn through football, I can help my people. ”
"For me, I don't need to show the outside world how many luxury cars, mansions, or even how many private jets I have. These are external things, and I'd rather use my income to give my people a little bit of what I give in life, so that they can have a better life and get out of some difficult situations, that's what I think in my heart. ”
Mane has been contributing to the construction of his hometown in recent years, and through his own efforts, his hometown has been transformed from a small village into a small town. Currently, more than 2,000 people live in his hometown.
Mane, who is already among the world's top stars, earns £150,000 a week, but he still uses a tattered mobile phone with a broken screen.
Perhaps for him, all the things about vanity in the world are worth mentioning, and it is his ultimate ideal to help more people like him.
Third, "Meshichiro" Leo Messi
Messi, born in 1987 in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina, is an Argentine player, a striker, currently playing for Paris Saint-Germain in France, a famous otaku in world football.
Messi was born in a poor family, his father is a worker, his mother is a cleaner, and there are two older brothers and a sister in the family, in order to maintain his life, Messi's father goes to some small teams to work as a part-time coach during his breaks, and even Messi follows his father to work part-time, and the total income of the whole family can only maintain food and clothing.
Although Messi is already a leader in today's football, and his historical status is also a three-to-one existence, Messi is low-key, does not show off his wealth and does not cheat, and nightclubs and other paper drunk gold fans are insulated from Messi by nature. In addition to playing football, the biggest pursuit in life is to have a wife and children hot kangtou.
Messi is very enthusiastic about public welfare. In 2007, Messi set up his own charitable foundation to help Argentine patients and children pay for general treatment and surgery. In the same year, Messi sponsored flood-stricken Jinan fans during PepsiCo China Tour, and then participated in the "FC Barcelona China 'Dream Fulfillment' Charity Night for the Handicapped" large-scale charity gala to help the education of disabled children and adolescents in poverty-stricken areas of western China.
In February 2017, Messi came to China as an individual to participate in a series of activities, and personally presented a white T-shirt, his own Argentine jersey and a football to Harik, a young fan of the second village primary school in Bersirek Township, Yecheng County, Xinjiang.
In March 2020, Messi donated 1 million euros to a medical center in Argentina to fight the coronavirus. In August, Messi donated 50 ventilators to a hospital in his hometown of Rosario.
"I want to do the best for my country, and I want all of you to do your best to make a difference, so that poor people can live well, have food to eat, not suffer, and let the country stand up, whether in the Spain where I live or in my country, Argentina."
This is what Messi said in an interview.
"There are a lot of people (politicians, celebrities) who attract a lot of attention today, and each of them wants to see the same things they want to see. I chose not to participate in this game.
There are many people in this world who save the lives of others every day, and many others who work hard to make our lives better.
And I'm just a footballer, and all I can do is make people forget their worries when they come to the game every week, and I'm grateful for my ability. ”
This is Messi's opinion in the face of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
This is Messi, humble, low-key, always maintain a childlike heart, every time we see Messi's game, we feel the gift from the depths of the soul.
Four, "Super Phoenix Man" George Weah
George Weah, born in 1966 in Monrovia, Liberia, AC Milan, is a striker and is currently the 25th President of the Republic of Liberia.
Liberia, a country that has never entered the World Cup, worse than a country in the East, has actually given birth to a world-class star.
In 1995, George Weah won the Ballon d'Or, World Footballer of the Year, and African Footballer of the Year.
The lives of ordinary Liberians are very difficult, and the whole country is destitute and war-ridden. At that time, George Weah, who played well in European football, gradually became a hero for Liberians.
2001 was a year of national jubilation for the national football team to reach the World Cup for the first time. That year, on the other side of the world, the 36-year-old veteran George Weah, as a player, head coach and president of the Football Association, led the Liberian team to the World Cup.
At that time, Weah paid out of his own pocket and covered all the players' travel expenses and bonuses. Such rudimentary conditions, but excellent results. In the end, the ill-fated Liberia missed out on only one point, and the suffering Liberian people did not enjoy the happy moment of their team's victory in the World Cup.
George Weah went from a poor boy to an international star and never forgot his roots. He served as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, helping tens of thousands of out-of-school children return to school in his country, and used his influence to seek help from the international community for his home country during the 2014 Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa.
Even after a thousand sails, he is still a teenager when he returns. When he was a player, he went to the World Football Center alone, created his own world, traveled between the national team and the club, and gave everything in three roles; After retiring from the army, he resolutely entered politics, worked hard for the well-being of his hometown, and did his best...
Although George Weah, who has little culture, only won the high Chinese in 2007 at the age of 41, as the football totem and spiritual pillar of the entire country, as a person who cares about the people after soaring, it is also logical that Weah will be elected president, he really shows the famous saying of Chinese civilization to the fullest: "If you are poor, you will be left alone, and you will benefit the world at the same time."
Fifth, "national football alternative" Gao Lei Lei
On July 21, 2020, Chinese player Gao Leilei, who played for the second division, officially announced his retirement on social media.
He wrote on his personal social media:
"Today I can gladly leave the football I love, and pay tribute to this cause I love most with the most dignified curtain call. Heavenly Daddy, I didn't disappoint you. Stick to yourself, you can also be complete! If you don't bow down to reality, the harvest of life is more precious! If you can say no to money, you are the real rich! Emotional intelligence is not the standard of this era, and those who do the ultimate may make peace with themselves! ”
Speaking of Gao Lei Lei, many fans are confused, who is this person?
Gao Leilei was born in 1980, worked for Beijing Guoan, and later opened the road to stay abroad. Unlike the martial arts king Liuyang La Liga, the media can't wait for 24-hour uninterrupted reporting, Gao Leilei's Liuyang is not known.
Gao Leilei joined the Finnish Super League Maipa on a free transfer in 2009, the first free transfer player in the history of Chinese football. He has played to many teams in Australia, Finland, the United States, Spain and other teams during his career.
In August 2019, Gorey joined La Liga side Ponferrardina and was given the opportunity to play.
In addition, Gao Leilei is a practitioner of football charity. While other local players were fishing in the tide of Chinese Super League Jinyuan football and lying flat, Gao Leilei has been running on the road to teaching in the mountains. He donated his own money to build two Hope Elementary Schools and build a county soccer team.
In fact, Gao Leilei did not earn a lot of money. When he played in Finland and Australia, his annual salary was 300,000 yuan. However, Gao Leilei has never stopped sponsoring poor students, and the car he bought for Hope Primary School amounted to 200,000 yuan.
It is also because of Gao Leilei's straightforward character and jealous style that he has never been given the opportunity to enter the national team. Gao Leilei once questioned the selection criteria of the national football team: "Everyone has seen that you need to send money to enter the national team, so it is normal that I did not enter the national team at that time." ”
So it's normal for him to be rejected by the national team, but is his ability really not enough to meet the national team standards?
Gao Lei wrote: "It took me ten years to get to La Liga at the age of 40! And completed the appearance of the Copa del Rey. It has been exactly 13 years since the last UEFA Cup appearance... It's not an easy road, and it's worth all the effort! ”
A 40-year-old Chinese "amateur" player can get a contract in the second division, and those Chinese "professional" players who are playing in the year do not even have the courage to go out, with a sky-high annual salary in the uncompetitive Chinese Super League to eat and die, what is the reason for the poor results of the national football team in recent years? Self-explanatory.
