Our story begins a hundred years ago, when football came out of England and set off its first world wave. In Jimmy. Under hogan's spread, football gained a lofty position in Central Europe, and it was at that time that the beautiful term "Danube" came into being.

With a representative team, there must be representative players, and in that era, Sindrar was the spokesman for football skills, and at the same time, he was also the first superstar in the history of football. Born in 1903 to a Jewish family in Austria, Matthias Sindrar had a very unfortunate childhood, his parents were low-class workers, and the family could only live a life that was not rich.

The conflagration of world war I overshadowed Sindrar's childhood, in which his father died, and since then he and his mother have lived a life of displacement, often starving. It was also such a day that created Sindraer's skills, in that era of material scarcity, the football that his father bought for Sindraer in the early years became the only toy of his childhood, as long as he had free time, he would play football, and it was because of this intimate contact that Sindrar practiced a good dribbling skill at a young age.

As the days passed, Sindrar grew up, and at the age of fifteen or sixteen, Sindrar's ball-handling skills were in full swing, and he also began to enter the football club and participate in regional competitions, when he could easily break through any line of defense when he was just starting out.

Since joining the national team at the age of 20, Sindrar has held the position of the main center. Makes it difficult for opponents to guard against. Because of the bitter life of his childhood and the premature death of his father, Sindraer forged a resolute and courageous character from an early age, he never accepted defeat on the field, and strived for all victories, of course, making the greatest star in Austrian history full of hatred for war from his bones.

Because of his gorgeous technical and artistic style, Sindrar had the reputation of "Football Mozart" at that time, and in addition to this, Sindrar's other nickname was more familiar, his slender figure was like a piece of paper fluttering and pervasive on the court, so people gave him a nickname "Paper Man". At that time, the Austrian team became a world-class team under his leadership, and Sindrar also profoundly influenced and promoted the development of European football technology.

However, just as Sindrar stood up for the world of football, the smoke of World War II made him put away his football talent. When Germany occupied Austria in May 1938, the German-Austrian "merger" dealt a fatal blow to the entire Austrian football scene. As one of the celebratory movements for the "re-unification" of Austria and Germany in March 1938, the German government organized a football match between "German Austria" and the Third Reich, the purpose of which was to bring the "Friendship" between the "Third Reich" and the Austrians closer to the "Third Reich" and the Austrians with the purpose of playing football.

The rulers harbored a grudge against him, and the Nazis wanted to show their might before the Austrian people. Before the match, the Fuehrer's henchmen gave the Austrian team the order that they must lose the game, and the best player, Sindraer, was also assigned to participate in the match.

The reason why Sindrar is still worshipped by the Austrian people is because of the spirit of not bowing down to the powerful. The football match on April 3, 1938, did not go as the Nazis had hoped, and on that day, 60,000 Austrian fans turned the match into an anti-Prussian and anti-Germanic demonstration. Sindrar and the Austrian players were also infected by this atmosphere, and Sindrar was said to have fully demonstrated on the field the ability to deliberately not score goals, rather than the art of breaking the goal. Under the leadership of Sindrar, the Austrian team won 2-0 against the German team, leaving no face for the Germans, and Sindrar won back the long-lost dignity for the Austrians.

The farce on the pitch made Hitler angry, and Sindraer's football life began to come to an end. The German secret police group established a secret archive of Sindrar, who was seen as a Social Democrat, a Jewish friend and a nationalist.

In January 1939, Sindrar was found dead in the bathroom of his home, when the Nazi government concluded after a 2-day investigation that there was a carbon monoxide poisoning incident, and strangely enough, all the relevant investigation documents quickly disappeared. Soon, it was rumored that Sindrar's death was his death due to emotional distress.

There is also a theory that the revenge of the pimp Maxell used the prostitute to work for him and killed Sindrar. But in the wake of the haze, many speculated that Sindrar's death was because he did not compromise with the Nazis and refused to represent Germany in the World Cup. Sindraer was the son of Vienna and the pride of Austrian football, and when the city of Vienna died, the stadium Mozart long gone. It was his loyalty to his hometown and his loyalty to his personality.

Football Live (https://www.5aisport.com) At Sindrar's funeral, the Austrians bid farewell to the football hero with heroic courtesy, and on that day fifteen thousand people came to the funeral site to bid farewell to the Austrian football genius. Maybe the beautiful things are always not long, always have to be subverted by ugliness and ruthlessness, but the brilliance of Sindrar's writing has made the football story of that era exciting enough.
