#The golden generation in my memory # Portugal
In the 2006 World Cup, Figo and Rui Costa, the core of Portugal's "golden generation", competed in the World Cup together and finished fourth, which was the team's best result since 1966.
Luis Figo is a representative of the Portuguese Golden Age. Born in 1972, the footballer started his career as a midfielder at Sporting de Portugal before joining Real Madrid in 2000. He joined Real Madrid from Barcelona for a transfer fee of US$56.1 million, the highest price in the world at the time.
Born in 1972, Rui Manuel Cesar Costa was mainly responsible for the forward position on the football field and is now president of Benfica FC. His professional characteristics are a wide field of vision, very elegant movements, and precise direct plugging technique. Costa began his football career at the age of 5, initially joining the youth team of Benfica FC. As one of the representatives of Portugal's golden generation, Rui Costa once participated in the 1991 FIFA Childhood World Cup with the Portuguese youth team and helped the team win the championship. In 1992, he played in the Toulon Cup, also helping the team to the championship. Between 1993 and 2004, Rui Costa played three European Championships and one World Cup with the Portuguese national team, and helped the Portuguese men's national football team to finish runners-up at Euro 2004.
Portugal's Golden Generation squad:
Formation: 4-4-2
Goalkeeper: Beyer
Defenders: Xavier, Joo Costa, Couto, Dimas

Now that Portugal Ronaldo has taken over the banner of Figo and Rui Costa, I hope that this World Cup Ronaldo and B Fei will lead the Portuguese team further!
