90. Izubayashi Ryu – Zou Yuan Lineker
Zou Yuan has a strong temperament, refuses to tolerate people, has a good martial art, and people in the rivers and lakes call "out of Lin Long".
Lineker, Englander with the most goals in World Cup history. In the group stage of the 1986 World Cup, England were on the verge of elimination in the first two games, drawing one and losing one. At the crucial moment, Lineker stepped up and scored a hat-trick in the final game against Poland to help England win their opponents and qualify as the second in the group. In the 1/8 final against Paraguay, the Englishman easily won 3-0, and Lineker scored two more goals. The Anglo-Albanian battle in the quarter-finals was a classic battle that made Maradona famous in history, and in the end the Argentine won 2-1, and it was Lineker who scored the only goal for England. Although England stopped in the quarter-finals, Lineker became the tournament's top scorer with six goals. It was England's first World Cup Golden Boot in their history. In 1990, Rheinker played in the World Cup for the second time. In that Italian summer, which left people with endless memories, Lineker scored four goals in seven games, becoming the eighth person in World Cup history to score 10 goals. And to score those 10 goals, he only took 12 games. Lineker is one of the most efficient goalscorers at the World Cup.
89. Ghostface – Duchenne Rivaldo
Du Xing in "Water Margin", because of his rough face, people call him "Ghostface".
Rivaldo, one of the famous Brazilian "3R" combinations, although he has excellent ball skills, but he is not good-looking, and is a recognized "ugly star" in world football. He played in two World Cups, 1998 and 2002, wearing the number 10 shirt on both occasions, reaching the final twice and being named to the tournament's best squad on both occasions. At the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France, despite Brazil's defeat to the host in the final, Rivaldo's performance was recognized by the football community. Four years later, Brazil made a comeback. In the lands of Asia, the "3R" combination has shown indestructible and powerful attacks. In the six games leading up to the final, Rivaldo scored in all but one against Turkey in the semi-final. In the final, Brazil faced Germany with a steel tank. In the 67th minute, Rivaldo's long-range shot from the top of the arc of the box caused Kahn, the best goalkeeper of the World Cup, to save the ball, and Ronaldo rushed to the net to open the door for Brazil to win. In the 79th minute, teammate Klaiberson passed the ball from the right and the Cheetahs cleverly missed to give Ronaldo a great one-handed chance, who calmly fired the ball into the ball to seal a 2-0 victory for Brazil and lift the World Cup trophy for the fifth time. Rivaldo, who has scored five goals and has four assists, is considered the most crucial figure in Brazil's victory.
88. Money Leopard—Tanglong Mbappé
Tang Longzu made a living by building military weapons for generations, and because of the pockmarks on his body, he was called "money leopard".
Mbappe, the new generation of witches in world football. In the 2018 World Cup, Mbappe was born at the age of 19. In this tournament, his incredible speed and explosiveness crushed the backline of all opponents. In the 1/8 final, the Gallic Roosters faced the Pampas Eagles, and the two sides contributed a head-to-head battle. Kylian Mbappe scored a penalty in the 10th minute and scored twice in the 64th and 69th minutes, eventually helping France beat Messi's Argentina 4-3. In the final against the Plaid Army, Mbappe scored the closing goal for France, helping France lift the Hercules Cup again after two decades, and at the same time seemed to announce the beginning of a new era in world football. After the match, Mbappe was named the best newcomer of this World Cup and was undoubtedly named to the official best squad.
87. Little Bully – Zhou Tong J. Rodriguez
Zhou Tong was the king of grass in Peach Blossom Mountain earlier, and because of his appearance resembling Xiang Yu, he was known as "Little Bully".
James Rodríguez, the representative of the new era of Colombian football. In 2014, he played an amazing performance when he made his first appearance on the World Cup stage. Facing Greece in the first round of the group stage, Rodriguez scored a goal in injury time to seal the victory for his team; In the second game against Côte d'Ivoire, he opened the scoring for Colombia and helped the team advance to the round of 16 one round earlier; In the final game against Japan, substitute James only took 45 minutes to directly plan three goals and send his opponent home cleanly. In the quarter-finals against Uruguay, Rodriguez kicked a kick and a header to help the team beat their opponents 2-0 and advance to the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the first time. With this victory, the Colombian team not only achieved a historic breakthrough, but also won the Puskas Prize that year for that flying fairy. Despite losing to hosts Brazil in the quarter-finals, Rodriguez still scored a goal. In the end, James won the Golden Boot with 6 goals in 5 games and was undisputed to be named to the best team of the tournament.
86. Tiger Fighting General – Li Zhong Gettingens
In "Water Margin", Li Zhong is the master of the nine-striped dragon Shijin, who makes guns and sticks in the rivers and lakes, sells medicine for a living, and is known as the "tiger general".
Gaitinyens, the creator of the biggest upset in the history of the World Cup. He is a Haitian of German descent. Because the restrictions on nationality were not so strict in the early days of world football, Gettingens never obtained American citizenship but represented the United States in the 1950 World Cup. England played for the first time at that World Cup and they were in the same group as the United States. At that time, the England team prided itself on the hegemony of world football, and the team was full of stars, and in their eyes, the American team was just a "rabble". However, the result of the match between the two teams was a huge upset, the United States beat England 1-0, and Gettingens scored the only goal of the game. After the results were transmitted back to England, the newspaper editor thought that such a score was unlikely, and that the front personnel must have written a 1, so he arbitrarily changed the score to England's 10-1 victory over the United States. The arrogance of the English made them the biggest joke of the World Cup. And Gettingens also wrote his name into the history of the World Cup with that goal.
85. Golden-Eyed Biao - Scheon M. Laudrup
There is a book cloud, Shi En's face has a different phase, his face has yellow hair, and his eyes are red, because he makes a good fist, and he is called "Golden Eye Biao".
Michel Laudrup, a leading figure in the golden generation of Danish football. At the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, Denmark, who participated in the first competition, showed good strength, winning all three games in the group stage and becoming the favorite team to win the championship for a while. In the 6-1 sweep over South American powerhouse Uruguay, Michel Laudrup scored a spectacular goal from the opposing defender, which inspired the singers of the Royal Opera House in Copenhagen to compose a "Laudrup Song". Unfortunately, Denmark lost 1-5 to Spain in the 1/8 final and missed the quarterfinals. At the 1998 World Cup in France, the Danes returned to the World Cup stage after 12 years, when Michel Laudrup wore the captain's armband, and his younger brother Brian Laudrup has grown into the core pillar of the team, and the brothers have teamed up to push Danish football to a new level, and they reached the quarterfinals in history. In the quarter-final against Brazil, Grand Laudrup played for the national team for the 104th time. In this epic battle, the Danes killed the defending champions nine times, and although they ultimately lost the match 2-3, they left the world with a beautiful Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale. After the final whistle, Michel Laudrup announced a message that everyone who likes him would not want to hear: "This will be the last game of my football career. ”
84. Disease worm - Xue Yong Jijia
Xue Yong's grandfather was originally an officer in front of the old breed Jingjing, but because he offended his colleagues, his family fell into the middle. Although he lived by selling medicine, he practiced a good martial art and was brave and fierce, and the people of Jianghu called him "the big worm".
Giguia, a legend of Uruguayan football. Mention this name, you must mention the famous "Maracana strike" in the history of the World Cup. In the 1950 World Cup, due to the special format at that time, the host Brazil could win the last game with a draw, while their opponent Uruguay had to win if they wanted to win the cup. Whether in terms of team strength, goal difference or home environment, Brazil took advantage of the time and place, and the game seemed to be just about going through the motions. The Brazilian scored first after the start of the game and things are going in the direction one expected. At this time, a Uruguayan named Gigia stood up. He first assisted teammate Schiafino's equaliser, then scored a comeback goal with 11 minutes left in the game, eventually helping Uruguay turn their opponents around and create the famous "Maracana strike". After Gigia's goal, the 200,000 Brazilian fans fell into a dead silence in an instant, the organizers were not even ready for their opponents to win the championship, and the post-match award ceremony was not held. On July 16, 2015, Gigia died of illness at the age of 88. He was the last Uruguayan player to die in that final. Coincidentally, this day also coincides with the 65th anniversary of the "Maracana Strike", and it seems that everything is already preordained.
83. Touch the Sky - Du Qian Zov
Du Qian was one of the leaders of Liangshan in the first place, and because of his tall stature, he was called "touching the sky".
Zoff, one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of the World Cup. At 1.88 meters tall, he has an elegant and calm temperament, and is the oldest member of the championship team in history. In 1982, the 40-year-old "old" Zov participated in the World Cup for the fourth time. Legendary coach Beardzot developed a defensive counter-attack tactic for the Italian team, and it was with this tactic that the Italian team made it all the way to the final. In the final against Germany, Zoff, as the captain of the field, led the team to unite with his prestige and skill, faithfully executed the coach's intentions, attacked and defended, advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and finally defeated the German team 3-1 and won the Hercules Cup. And Zoff was also voted the best goalkeeper for his outstanding performance, and was praised by fans as "an unbreakable copper wall". Reaching the top of the world in the year of no confusion, Zoff's World Cup journey ended perfectly.
82. Yunli Kong—Song Wan Skuhravi
Like Du Qian, Song Wan is also a veteran of Liangshan, and because of his tall stature, he is known as "King Kong in the clouds".
Skuhravi, 1.93 meters tall, former Czechoslovakia's excellent center forward. He is burly and has a keen sense of smell in front of goal, and his powerful impact always makes the opponent's back line scream. In the group stage of the 1990 World Cup, Czechoslovakia won two wins and one loss to qualify, and in the 5-1 victory over the United States, Skuhlavi scored two goals. In the 1/8 final, Czechoslovakia played against Costa Rica, and the Costa Rican team with the "lucky rabbit" was no longer lucky, and they lost the match 1-4. In the match, Skuhlavi hit three consecutive goals with a header, becoming the first player in World Cup history to score a hat-trick with a header. Although Czechoslovakia lost to future champions Germany in the quarterfinals, Skuhlavi won the Silver Boot of that World Cup with five goals.
