In the best team in the history of La Liga, it is presumably indispensable to Messi and C Ronaldo, who are two absolute double pride. At the back line, it's a real headache because La Liga has too many good centre-backs, Pique, Godin, Puyol, Ramos.
In fact, there is a center-back who also has to be mentioned, he is the steel captain of the "Galactic Battleship", the "Matador Legion" of the Dinghai God Needle, Fernando Hierro. The years have pushed people to age, and inadvertently, the old captain has been retired for 15 years.
Fernando Hierro
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > was born in Barcelona but played for real madrid</h1>
Born in 1968 in the small town of Pamp near Barcelona, Hiero grew up in the Mediterranean sun and began his football career in Malaga. But soon he moved to Valladolid, where he became a "Basque fighter".
Hierro's second season in La Liga was favored by then Real Madrid president Mendoza, who was only 21 years old at the time, and although the $1 million transfer fee did not cause any sensation at the time, no one knew that a steel age had begun.
For 14 years, Hierro firmly occupied the starting position on the field.
The young Hierro joins the Galactic Battleship
Hierro first made his debut for Real Madrid on 3 September 1989, in a 2–0 Atlético Gijón in La Liga.
At that time, Hierro was transformed into a back, 187cm tall, definitely an air-to-power striker, but unexpectedly, in the midfield position, Hiero played more comprehensively.
In the 1989-90 season, he made 37 appearances in the whole season as a newcomer, playing as a defender, attacking and defending, and helping the team win the league championship with 7 league goals.
The omnipotence is terrible
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > legendary captains are born with leadership qualities</h1>
After two seasons of minor trials, Hierro saw a full-blown outbreak in the 1991-92 season.
He made 37 Appearances in La Liga and scored 21 goals. You know, as a midfielder at the time, and in terms of the lower back, 21 goals are estimated to be the sum of the goals scored by other players in several seasons. But Hierro did it in one season. That's the striker's goal number! Unfortunately, Real Madrid only finished runners-up in the league that season.
Hierro led the team forward that year
It was not until the 1994–95 season that the team regained the league championship.
Every season Hierro can steadily output goals, but also take care of defense, the fifth year of joining Real Madrid, Hiero has become the soul of the team, whenever the team encounters difficulties, he can always encourage his teammates and move forward hand in hand, of course, Hiero also has a lot of personality charm.
The veteran captain still has the spirit of a spiritual leader
At the beginning of the 1997-98 season, Hierro withdrew to the back line as a centre-back, but still contributed 3 goals, although he did not qualify for the league title, but won the Europa League trophy.
Although he often played well, as the spiritual leader and captain of the team, he was always unable to balance the front line and the defense line. At that time, there were already front-line killers such as Raul in the front, and Hiero only needed to guard the last gate.
Winning Europe
< H1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the national team into regret and sadness</h1>
Compared with Hierro's record at the club, 5 La Liga titles, 4 Spanish Super Cups, 3 European Champions Cups, 2 Toyota Cups, 1 Spanish King's Cup and 1 European Super Cup, the national team has become Hiero's sad place.
Represented Spain in the World Cup for 4 times, although Spain also had a group of good players at that time, although Hierro also had a voice in the national team, but each competition lacked the true color of the king, and lost the championship.
At the World Cup in Russia, Hierro talked to Costa
< H1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > promoted to FCA sports director after retiring as interim manager of the country</h1>
Hierro officially announced his retirement in 2005, and after Bolton completed his final football career, Hierro did not leave his favorite green field.
He first spent four years as a sports director at the Spanish Football Association, working on football affairs. He then changed his role as a coach and went to Real Madrid as an assistant coach and La Liga side Oviedo to coach.
In the winter of 2017, Hierro returned to the Spanish Football Federation as Sporting Director.
Two generations of captains of the Spanish national team and Real Madrid
On the eve of the 2018 World Cup, Spanish coach Lopetegui was announced by the Spanish Football Association to be immediately dismissed by the Spanish Football Association for signing a coaching contract with Real Madrid in advance, and it was announced that the World Cup in July Spain would be led by Real Madrid star Hierro.
Spain's group stage 1 win and 2 draws are difficult to qualify, but unfortunately, in the matchup with the hosts in the round of 16, the penalty shooter lost 3:4 to Russia, and did not qualify, and Hierro's interim national manager also stopped here.
Lead the team to participate in the World Cup and prepare for the world with ease
< H1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > support Raul's future real Madrid</h1>
As one of the flagship figures of Real Madrid, raúl played for Real Madrid, I believe that loyal fans will not forget this meritorious striker who once attacked the team.
The record of 741 appearances at Real Madrid, 323 goals and other records is enough for Raul to stand up in front of Real Madrid's juniors.
This scene seems to be the inheritance of the flag and the spirit
October 29, 2019 marks the 25th anniversary of Raúl's debut at Real Madrid, and former veteran captain Hierro also said in an interview with Marca that Raúl has the ability to run Real Madrid.
The old captain recalled the first time he saw Raul, saying: "We knew for a long time that there was a talented kid who scored a lot of goals in the youth team and he was very different. He plays for the team every day and the goals are wonderful, and years later we were teammates and we all know how good he is. ”
Raul and Hierro
Hierro also said that Raul, like Zidane, will have the opportunity to become the head coach of the Real Madrid first team in the future: "Raul has all the conditions to become the manager of the Real Madrid first team. ”
It is worth mentioning that Raúl became the manager of Castilla this summer, and last season he led the Real Madrid youth B team to win the Madrid Youth National League two rounds in advance.
