In the last two installments, we made brief inventories of Bailey, Batistuta, Maradona, Beckenbauer, Di Stefano, Platini, Baggio and Zidane (in fact, Zidzi should be said later, because the timeline is different). Today, we're going to take a look at some of the former football stars, hoping that the clumsy graphics will give you a little understanding of these players and times.
Cruyff
Known as "Flying Man". When dutch footballers were mentioned in the 1980s, the first thing that was mentioned was Cruyff. Born in the Netherlands in 1947, he also liked football in his early years, and when playing in the youth team, Cruyff's technical characteristics of running flexible, fast and accurate shooting on the pitch were discovered, so he began his professional career in 1962 and won the Mr. Footballer Award three times. He was retired in 1984.
After retiring from the army, Cruyff naturally joined the coaching profession, coaching Ajax and Barcelona, but unfortunately died in 2016. The most admirable part of Cruyff's life experience in football is the contribution he made when he played for Ajax, in addition to leading the team to win many trophies, but also cultivated a number of rising stars, Dennis Bergkamp, who was inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame, and now Manchester City manager Guardiola, etc. are from his doors, and the current John Cruyff Stadium is named in honor of Cruyff.
Bebeto
Nicknamed "Cradle Killer". Born in Brazil in 1964, Bebeto also belonged to the 80s known to Chinese fans, played ball at an early age, and was already with the famous Brazilian star Zico at the age of 15 at the flamenco club. The most beautiful is the 1994 World Cup in the United States, Bebeto and Romario perfectly coordinated play is admirable, and this year is also the peak of Bebeto's career, and then gradually declined, transferred to several foreign teams, no big improvement, in 2003 chose to retire.
After retiring, he did not get involved in coaching or football-related industries, but turned to Brazilian politics, and was elected to the Rio State Legislature in 2010, coincidentally his friend Romario also entered Brazilian politics at the same time, perhaps this is what the two discussed in advance, hoping that this pair of golden combinations that were once on the green field can also make a great difference in politics.
Maldini
Known as the "Prince of Milan". Born in Italy in 1968, he joined the academy at the age of 10. After years of on-court fighting, he has won several glories. For his outstanding performances and achievements on the pitch, he was also awarded the title of "World's Best Player" in 1994, and it can be said that he is the flagship figure in the history of AC Milan and Italian football.
Maldini retired in 2002, after which the old horse entered the business and also gained a good market, and returned to AC Milan in 2018 as the club's sports strategic development manager. It is worth mentioning that maldini's family are avid Milan fans, the father is loyal to the Milan defenders, to Maldini's generation is still a Milan defender, more than 30 years of player career have contributed to AC Milan, not only that, his two sons also joined the club to play, from this point of view, the Maldini family is absolutely loyal, the world football world is unique, this needs to be praised.
Redondo
Nicknamed "Prince". Born in Argentina in 1969, at the age of 10, Redondo's football potential was explored, and in 1985 he officially began his professional career as a player, the most glorious time on the Redondo Estadio was his time with Real Madrid, because of his elegant dribbling skills and offensive and defensive strength on the field, he moved to AC Milan at the end of the season, and then chose to retire in 2004.
There are many speculations about Redondo's retirement, some say due to injury, some say helpless, and some say that it is chaos between clubs, which cannot be verified. But after retiring, Redondo rarely reappeared, disappearing far away from the fans' green field, perhaps disheartened, perhaps waiting for the opportunity to return to their beloved Real Madrid. Time flies, Prince Pampas has made many fans remember that era and remember the long-haired Redondo. (To be continued)
Unwinding is beneficial, it is not easy to post, like a point of attention.
