Whenever I wanted to sweat on the pitch, my mother would always send a questioning look and ask me: "Even your five short stature can still play football, but pull you down!" "But I don't listen, I'm destined by my fate, and the little man can still have great energy." Today, Xiaobian will take stock of the "little man" on the football field for everyone.
1. Lionel Andres Messi
If you want to know about sports, you have to know about football, and if you want to know football, then you have to know Messi. On December 2, 2019, the 64th Golden Globe Awards ceremony kicked off at the Opera De Châtelet in Paris.
Under the stage, the stars are shining, van Dijk, Mbappe and so on. In the end, the suspense was revealed, and Messi, who is now playing for FC Barcelona, won the sixth Ballon d'Or of his career with a posture of no one before, thus becoming the "first person" in the history of six golden balls.
But who would have thought that the man in front of him, who was full of honors, would almost miss the sport of football because of the congenital dwarfism he suffered from as a child. At the age of eleven, he was diagnosed with a disease and was expected to grow only about 1.4 meters. Fortunately, FC Barcelona provided Messi with all the cost of treatment, but even so, Messi is only 169cm tall now, which seems to be incompatible with the scene of rampage on the football field. But, as the saying goes, God closes a door for you and will surely open a window for you. Messi has shown a different football talent from ordinary people since childhood, coupled with his unremitting efforts in the future, Messi has become a recognized "first person" in the football industry by relying on his own ability, and is one of the outstanding football superstars in today's football.
2. Diego Armando Maradona
When It comes to Manadona, the most memorable one is the performance of the century in which he scored six goals in a match against England in 1986, or the "hand of God" who sent the ball into the opposing net with his hand.
But most people don't know that the height of the football king is only 165cm, but Maradona has won the title of "ball king" for himself with his wonderful performance, which is an extremely rare football king.
3. Ngolo Kanter
Friends familiar with football should have heard such a sentence, "There is no obstacle that cannot be passed, only the kanter that cannot be passed", although it is a joke, it can also be seen that the world's evaluation of Kanter. Kante, who currently plays for Chelsea in the Premier League, plays as a defender and is known in football for his tireless running, stealing and interception, and in 2018, Kante helped France win the Hercules Gold Cup as a main player.
The French back, which is only 169cm tall, not only performs well in defense, but also in attack, and Kante, known as the "little giant" of football, is enough to prove his ability.
4. Souza Romario
Romario, nicknamed the "lone wolf" of football, a player who can single out the entire back line with his personal ability, he is only 168cm tall, he has magical footwork, and his gorgeous dribbling skills are extremely dazzling.
The hat-trick against Real Madrid is still fresh in the picture. In 1994, Romario helped Brazil win the World Cup and won his first Ballon d'Or.
5. Roberto Carlos
The first thought of Roberto Carlos is his bizarrely curved free-kick against France and his thick thighs.
Carlos is not tall, only 168cm, super thighs thick and powerful, extremely fast, explosive power, through his feet to shoot the ball can reach the fastest speed of 150km/h, the momentum is heavy, the defense is also very good, in 2002 with brazil team to get the fifth Hercules Gold Cup, five-star Brazil from this.
6. Raheem Sterling
Sterling, football happy football advocate, typical of small technical good striker.
