At this summer's European Championship, the Performance of the Hungarians was admirable, and the fighting spirit and integrity they showed in the game were amazing, but it is undeniable that they are still a weak team in Europe. However, a few decades ago, the Hungarian team was a strong team that made everyone feel frightened. The most famous star in the Hungarian team at that time was not Puskasz.
Puskas was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1927. In 1943, at the age of 16, Puskas made his professional debut, playing for Giespester. In 1948, at the age of 21, Puskas scored 50 goals in 32 games to win the League Golden Boot for the first time.
In 1949, the team he played for was taken over by the Ministry of Defence and officially renamed The Honwerd Club budapest. Most of the team was awarded the rank, and since then Puskas has had the nickname "The Running Colonel".
During his time with Humved, Puskas made 358 appearances, scored 374 goals, and averaged more than one goal per game, making him the king of efficiency. He helped the team win 6 league titles and he won the league Golden Boot 4 times.
In 1956, after the October incident in Hungary, Puskas, who was in Spain, decided not to return home. In 1958, Puskas officially joined Real Madrid, thus starting his second legend.
In the 1959-1960 Champions League final, Real Madrid won the championship with a 7-2 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, and Puskas staged a senior in the competition. In the 1964 Champions League final, although Real Madrid lost 3-5 to Benfica, Puskas once again completed a hat-trick, becoming the only player in Champions League history to score three goals or more in the final twice.
In the 1961-1965 season, Puskas helped Real Madrid win five consecutive La Liga titles. In 1966, after helping Real Madrid win the Champions League three times, Puskas officially retired. Puskas played a total of 262 games for Real Madrid, scoring 242 goals.
Compared to his glamorous club career, Puskas' national team career is somewhat tragic. Although Puskas led Hungary to the 1952 Olympics, he returned home in the 1954 World Cup final. Later, Puskas acquired Spanish citizenship and competed for Spain in the World Cup, but unfortunately the group stage was lost.
After retiring, Puskas coached Panathinaikos and won the league three times.
In 1993, Puskas returned to his homeland after a farewell to Hungary 37 and took charge of the national team. Unfortunately, Hungary has long since lost its courage.
In his later years, Puskas had a bad life, and his poor health was somewhat difficult, and Puskas died of illness in 2006.
In 2009, FIFA officially presented the Puskas Award for the best goal of the year, which is also a tribute to Puskas.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the doubtful 1954 World Cup</h1>
In 1954, the fifth World Cup was held in Switzerland. On the occasion of FIFA's 50th anniversary, FIFA decided to give the right to host the World Cup to Switzerland, where FIFA is headquartered.
A total of 16 teams participated in this World Cup, with Turkey and Scotland, who temporarily withdrew from the world cup in the last World Cup, making their World Cup debuts, and South Korea making their World Cup debuts.
This World Cup learned from the previous double-loop season and switched to a knockout stage after the group stage. However, there are still special rules for this World Cup. In the group stage, each group has two seeded teams and two non-seeded teams, and the seeded teams do not play against each other, as do the non-seeded teams. If, at the end of the group stage, two teams are divided, an extra match is required.
The biggest favourite to win this World Cup is The Hungarian team led by Puskas. In the last World Cup, because of the influence of the post-war world pattern, they could not participate, and this time they went out with the strongest posture.
In the group stage, Hungary defeated South Korea and West Germany 9-0, 8-3 respectively. In the quarter-finals and semi-finals, brazil and Uruguay were eliminated by the same score of 4-2. In the highly anticipated final, Hungary was reversed 3-2 by West Germany in a good situation of 2-0 leadership, which is known as the Bern miracle.
Why did you win 8-3 in the group stage but lose in the final? There are many opinions that the excitement is at work. Empty pill bottles were found in the West German team's lounge, and the West German team doctor said it was vitamin C. However, after the World Cup, many players in the West German team suffered from jaundice and hepatitis, and two players died of liver cancer.
Fifty-six years later, the German Federal Institute for Sports Sciences detected doping ingredients in tests of empty bottles, and the doping was used by German soldiers in World War II.
Of course, the technology of that year could not detect this ingredient, nor can it be said that they used stimulants.
There are still many anecdotes about this World Cup. The most poignant and funny story came in the match between Hungary and Uruguay, where Uruguay scored two consecutive goals to equalize with Holberg in a 2-0 deficit, and teammates accidentally knocked him unconscious while celebrating, and Uruguay eventually lost the game.
In addition, the world cup also produced the first oolong ball, scored by England player Jimmy Dickenson.
This World Cup is also the most goalscored in history, with 140 goals in 26 games. Austria's 7-5 win over Switzerland also became the most goalscored match in World Cup history.
The invincible Hungarians eventually lost to the West Germans, who suspected of using excitement, and Puskas did not seize the best opportunity.
This World Cup will eventually be remembered because of Bern's miracles and doubts.
