Barcelona's original surname: Kubala

Original/Oxygen is a Subway (Big Dream)

It is unbelievable that the presence of this name, which has long been known in the history of world football, has such a serious low degree in the contemporary public opinion environment. While an Ancient Divine Beast of the same level was often active in the mass forum, Ladislau Kubala seemed to have never appeared. On the one hand, the scope of fans' cognition does not include this great legend, and Kubala's external capital in the competition is relatively not obvious enough from a comprehensive point of view, which also leads to the authoritative media with influence all over the world not extending too much from the degree of publicity. It's just that when supergiants fail to represent football, it is inevitably counted as a cultural loss.

Fortunately, Kubala will never be forgotten.

Despite ranking dozens of places, Kubala has achieved its unique and ultimate attributes in some areas. He was once hailed as Barcelona's best of the century in the last century, surpassing Cruyff and Maradona, and was the first star to be placed in a statue at Barcelona's base camp, Camp Nou. He single-handedly inaugurated the era at Barca in the 1950s, said to have directly contributed to the Camp Nou stadium, which was built because of the need to provide him with enough spectators, and indirectly contributed to Di Stéfano becoming the first person in Real Madrid history (Barca strategically abandoned Stéfano based on confidence in Kubala). And the above, including the description of his career now in its entirety, is not all Kubala.

First, look at the kubala before the trend, what exactly is the state. It is inseparable from those words, such as excellent technology, wide vision, good physique, and good at set-pieces. Kubala was able to effectively integrate these characteristics on the football field, was identified as the core of the future from the beginning, and was not surprisingly favored by both the giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, even if he was in a suspension period, he was also competed for at any cost. This time, Real Madrid won in advance to give the contract, but Barcelona won in the end: hiring Ferdinand Dawsik was crucial, said to be due to alcohol, and the highest salary in the team's history was also sincere - they not only had one of the best superstars of that era, but also laid the foundation for the club's heritage style that continues to this day.

Kubala's playing is not easy, and the label on his body cannot erase the cruel political words of "Cold War", which are important and even determine fate. Disgusted by the war atmosphere in his homeland, Kubala chose to flee Hungary, during which he finally approached the Italian border by getting on the bus and on foot, posing as a Soviet soldier, and taking the price of temporarily unable to meet his wife and children. But Kubala couldn't go away, and he was disqualified (for serious reasons: default, desertion, and treason!). The adjudicator is FIFA, and the ban is an inevitable consequence. What about the rest? Kubala's doom and fortune is always in the combined director: he was "saved" by a message (waiting for his family), missed one of the best teams in football history, but narrowly avoided the plane crash in which all the members were killed. In his time in Italy, Kubala was not only unable to play professionally, but also required to be trapped in a refugee camp in Rome, where he could only play friendly matches with exile partners everywhere and sell his art to make a living, until soon after, he was eager to sign with Barca by Real Madrid in a friendly match in Spain.

A legend, Kubala quickly exceeded expectations at Barca: leading the team to five titles. Scoring goals, organizing, winning... Omnipotent, Kubala supports the huge effect of the club, allowing the cult of personality to reach the extreme, while enriching Barca's capital and heritage as a strong man. During his decade at Barca, Kubala created a myth that he led the development of spectator football, some reformative approach was widely referenced, and at a time when authority was still being thoroughly consolidated, the club had a very ideal way of competing. If it weren't for injuries and rough criminals — dozens of treatments including surgeries, with an average total of appearances — Kubala could have made football even greater.

Kubala also has problems, as he falls into the nightlife and "often indulges in a lot of whiskey and flamenco", which are all problems that affect professionalism. Another "but" re-enlightens Kubala: an epic life that would not have occurred in peacetime has created him tenacious and courageous to fight against fate, not afraid of hegemony, while providing practical care for the vulnerable, and the concept of family is very strong. This image became the best example, inspiring the homeless refugees who were close to the encounter, especially the era, to maintain their faith, among which there were capable people who could also get help from it, and then become the next "Kubala" Mr. Kubala.

"Supergiants come and go, but the soul of Barca is always hanging there" – Camp Nou, that's it.
