Beckenbauer, the emperor of football: the end of a legend
On a quiet night in football, the news spread around the world with astonishing momentum: Beckenbauer, the legendary figure known as the emperor of football, passed away quietly in the early hours of January 9. The news was like a shock bomb, quickly enveloping the world of football in a heavy sadness. Fans were in disbelief, with well-known clubs such as Bayern Munich and Munich, as well as many football superstars, expressing their condolences and remembering the greatest legend of German football.
A brilliant career: a symbol of the pinnacle of football
Beckenbauer's career was brilliant and dazzling. He has won the Bundesliga five times, the German Cup four times and the Champions League three times. The legend has not only had countless moments at the club, but has also left a lasting mark on the national team, winning the European Championship and the World Cup. After retiring as a player, he led the team to the World Cup again as a coach, continuing his legendary career to another peak.
Controversy: Beckenbauer's football legend
However, as we look back on Beckenbauer's great achievements, it may also be time to look at the controversy behind his football career. Some voices have pointed out that his strategic choices in his coaching career have not been without controversy. Some argue that his tactics are not always the best option, questioning whether his talent off the pitch can really rival his playing days. These sounds may be uncomfortable, but they are worth revisiting the legend's football career.
In the hearts of many Chinese football fans, Beckenbauer has become a symbol of elegance and rigor. As the coach of the German team, he always wore a straight suit and had an extraordinary temperament. On the sidelines of the game, his appearance of calmly commanding the players has been deeply engraved in the hearts of Chinese fans. In 2015, Beckenbauer set foot on Chinese soil to attend the match between Bayern Munich and Valencia at the Bird's Nest in Beijing on July 18. During this visit, he also briefed the Chinese Football Association on the annual "Camp Beckenbauer" forum in Austria and the development concept of the Asian Forum.
Beckenbauer's death is undoubtedly a loss for the football world, and his legacy will forever be etched in the annals of football history. However, as with every legend, his footballing life was not without controversy. Perhaps this kind of controversy is the most profound reflection he left to the world.
