Football is a sport about dreams that symbolizes innocence, the sublime and the sacred. Every child who comes into contact with football, ever since the concept of football was implanted in his mind, inevitably harbors unspeakable dreams.
Idols are the carriers of children's dreams, just as the apostles preach God's grace to the world on behalf of God and explain the true meaning of the Bible.
Every child will understand the mystery of football and think about the meaning of their dreams because of their idols.
[C Ronaldo and Mbappe: From Shy Teenager to Beyond Idol]
The world footballer that Mero has monopolized for ten years has just been broken by Modric, but everyone knows that the 33-year-old Croatian captain is only a temporary transition, and the future football world hegemon belongs to a young man under 20 years old, his name is Mbappe.
This summer's World Cup in Russia, Mbappe has proved himself with a very convincing performance, and also helped France win the Hercules Cup again after a gap of two decades, which is the highest honor that Messi's two football overlords can hope for.
Mbappe has the Hercules Cup, which is the envy of Messi Cristiano
In particular, in the quarter-final against Argentina, Mbappe's shocking long-distance run stunned the world, scoring two goals and creating a penalty that dwarfed Messi on the other side.
Mbappe rode alone to break through the barrier and was brought down by Rojo to create a penalty.
Mbappe took the ball and shook it open and fired a powerful shot into the goal.
Mbappe stepped in from the right and fired a powerful shot into the far corner of the goal.
On the same day, Ronaldo's Portugal also ended the World Cup journey. The departure of the two absolute kings, accompanied by the rise of a superstar, will surely show more and more special significance in the future history of football.
What is more originary is that the original intention of Mbappe's football dream comes from his upcoming replacement of C Ronaldo.
When Mbappe first debuted, his photo with C Luo was circulated on the Internet, a boy shyly stood in front of an idol taller than himself, could not hide the ecstatic worship of a simple teenager, and a simple V-shaped gesture exposed the overwhelmed inner waves.
Along with the group photo, Mbappe posted pictures of idols at his bedside, just like all the other thousands of ordinary teenagers.

All of this has actually been a few years in the past, but Mbappe's growth rate is too rapid, making it difficult for the world to adapt at once, and the idol-worshipping teenager is the current dazzling superstar.
Mbappe and C Ronaldo, the same strong and athletic posture, lightning-fast explosive power, raced through the sprint speed of the sports car. It's just that Mbappe's current shooting stability is still slightly lacking, resulting in a big gap between the scoring efficiency and the idol.
However, the young Mbappe still has enough time to practice and grow, and his idol C Luo is also practicing hard step by step and making progress, fortunately, Mbappe has also learned the professionalism of the idol.

When Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid this summer, Mbappe was the hottest successor, and although he could not make the trip in the end, mbappe was likely to become the new owner of the Bernabeu and create a career as great as his idol.

[Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo: The craziest he also has admirers]
Every generation has its own idol, just like, every generation has a different dream.
Ronaldo is the idol of countless teenagers, such as Mbappe. And the other Ronaldo is also the idol of countless teenagers, such as Ibrahimovic.
When it comes to the madman of the football world, Ibrahimovic's eyes are unmatched, and the tall Swede has always been unsurprisingly deadly when it comes to talking, just like he doesn't care about scoring unbeautiful goals on the field.
Among the players of the same era, no one can enter the eyes of Ibrahimovic, even the proud son of heaven, Messi C Ronaldo, does not want to get a few compliments from his mouth.
The coach of the same era, even the world-respected football philosopher Guardiola, even if he has cultivated and trained countless new superstars, Ibrahimovic dares to name him and talk about him.
Ibrahimovic adored Ronaldo
Ibrahimovic's arrogance was almost beyond limits, and he threatened that the world-famous Eiffel Tower should be replaced by a statue of himself, and even risked the world to blaspheme a god. However, it is such an Ibu, who can hardly look at people in his daily life, but he has great respect for the alien Ronaldo, until he is dead-hearted.
In the second leg of the 2006-07 Milan derby, he changed his shirt and returned to Ronaldo in San Siro, where he found that the blue and black fans who had once loved him welcomed his return with boos. However, under the booing of the sky, Ibrahimovic gazed at the aliens on the other side with dementia and affection, like a pure teenager looking at the eyes of his lover.
Ibrahimovic gazed affectionately at Ronaldo across the street
Even the most crazy people were teenagers, and Ibrahimovic's boyhood was filled with Ronaldo, in posters on the walls of the room, on computer desktop posters. In fact, Ibrahimovic is only five years younger than Ronaldo, but the aliens are famous for their youth and infect the younger Ibrahimovic.
Five years apart, there should have been more opportunities to compete together, they have both played for Milan and Barcelona, but they have never been able to wear the same shirt together. Due to Ronaldo's premature retirement, they didn't even have a chance to play too much on the pitch.
Fortunately, all this did not indelible the admiration and worship of idols by a teenager, whether later in Paris or New York, when Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo met again, the look in the eyes of the idols had never changed compared to when they were young.
Ibrahimovic still has great respect for Ronaldo
There is only one person in the world who can make Ibrahimovic smile like that, like a child, and that is Ronaldo.
Baggio and Cassano: Very different personalities, similar regrets]
Teenagers worship idols, although they are excited and enthusiastic, but there are inevitable regrets, and sometimes they have the feeling of "Jun hates me for being born late, I hate Jun for being born early".
Baggio and Cassano, both of Italy's unique No. 9 and a half players, play the role of striker and midfielder brain, allowing them to navigate the heart of the attacking penalty area, with the ability to organize assists and shoot goals.
Compared with the wolf attributes under piero and Totti's strong bodies, Baggio and Cassano's characteristics belong to a similar other category, they are more ingenious and lacking, and after the combination of acumen and toughness, they are more like a civet cat, so that the opposing defenders often have strength but nowhere to exert power.
In January 1995, Bari, at the Stadio San Nicolas, was replaced by Di Canio, the year Cassano was 13 years old.
Caddies Cassano and Baggio, it is obvious that this is not a deliberate group photo, after all, neither of them looked at the camera. Perhaps, this is just an unexpected discovery by a photographer years later that he has inadvertently pressed the shutter.
As we all know, Baggio's time in AC Milan did not go well, and the confused expression in the photo with his already melancholy eyes added to the sadness of loneliness. Cassano's expressionless face may have been a nervous reaction in the noisy pitch and under the lens of long guns and short guns.
Cassano and Baggio's time in Milan was not happy
The story later is that Cassano also wore the red and black jersey that Baggio was wearing at the time, similar to the corner period when his career was not going well.
Comparing Cassano and Baggio's entire careers, it can be seen that the sadness of the two is far more than joy, although their personalities are so different.
Melancholy is almost the personality label of Baggio, with the introverted tranquility of Buddhists, and the vicissitudes between a smile and a smile.
Cassano debuted as a bad boy, his appearance temperament was far inferior to That of Bacho Totti, he never enjoyed the title and courtesy of the prince of his predecessors, and the external harshness was more than pampering, which also caused his behavior to become more and more rebellious.
In the final round of the group stage of Euro 2004, Cassano scored the winning goal but was told that the team was out
Unfortunately, the commonality of their careers, Baggio participated in three World Cups but never participated in the European Championships, on the contrary, Cassano participated in three European Championships but never participated in the World Cup.
The biggest regret is that they all fell short in the race for the championship.
In addition to regret, in 2004, the fledgling Cassano participated in such a major competition as the European Championship for the first time, and Baggio ended his career that season, and before that, he was still struggling to enter the national team, just to fight for the European Championship that he had never participated in before.
In the 1994 World Cup final, Baggio was lonely after giving up a penalty
Cassano, the rising star of this year' Italy, scored a killer goal in the final round of the group stage, but it was heart-wrenching to learn that the team was eliminated.
People of different personalities, the same grief but have very different ways of expressing it. At the 1994 World Cup a decade ago, Baggio's figure standing with his hands crossed and his waist bowed after losing a penalty is still the most lamentable moment in the football world.
【Conclusion】
Teenagers worship idols to compete with idols or even surpass idols, which is neither idols to disillusionment, nor the end of dreams.
Messi has long been an idol of thousands of teenagers, even his opponents on the court, often look up to him with a worship mentality, and Messi's jersey is a trophy for opponents after each game.
In the 2012 Champions League group stage, Barca beat Benfica by 2 goals away, and after the game, Messi took the initiative to ask Aimar for a shirt
As the first man in today's football world for a long time, Messi will hardly take the initiative to ask his opponents for a shirt exchange, with one exception, which is to his idol Aimar.
In the country of Maradona, a national idol, who has long crossed the ocean to a foreign land in Barcelona, Aimar, who has no time and place, happens to become Messi's idol, and has to lament the charm and miracle of idols.
In 2015, Aymar announced his retirement, and Messi posted, "Pablo Aimar, a great player, one of my idols, has just announced his retirement. I sincerely wish you all the best for the next phase of your life and thank you for allowing us to enjoy your football magic. ”
From player to coach, Zidane has achieved unparalleled success, but he still misses the beginning of his first game.
In the afternoon on the backstreet of Marseille's old port, a group of partners use the square as a stadium and the fence as the boundary, each of which imitates the Uruguayan hero of the Marseille team, Francisco Scoli.
Zidane's achievements far exceed those of his idols, but every time they see each other again, he is still a teenager who is low to the dust in front of his idols.
Naming his eldest son "Enzo" is Zidane's tribute to Francisco, and he also makes no secret of his feelings for Franciscoli, "When I first saw Francescoli playing, I knew that this was the type of player I wanted to be. The first time I saw him was when he played for Marseille, and from that time on, I deeply respected him, admired him, he was my idol. I had a fight with him once when I was at Juve and he was like God! ”

When each teenager grows up, the growth trajectory will be very different, and the years will weather their young faces, but their idols and dreams will always be fresh in their hearts, just like the moment they were first buried.
