There was a magical team in world football in 1954, so amazing, I said they were the most powerful team in world football at that time, and I don't think anyone would be right.
Let's look at their achievements before the World Cup that year, the Helsinki Olympics in 1952, the hungarian football debut in the international competition, this competition is also the first time to let the world football world see a strong Hungarian team, the first game with the goal of Kochis and Zibor eliminated romania 2:1, after gradually adapting to the venue their performance began, they eliminated Italy and Turkey 3:0 and 7:1 respectively; in the semi-final they met the upper champions Sweden, As a result, Puskas took the lead at the beginning of the game, and Hungary washed sweden 6-0 blood.
After reaching the final, their opponent was the powerful Yugoslav team, Puskas and Zibor scored two goals in the second half, winning the Yugoslav team 2:0 to win the Olympic gold medal, and the golden generation of Hungarian football shocked the world football for the first time.
Then in 1953, Hungary and England warmed up, which was the battle of the kings of world football, and until then England was considered the king of world football, with superstars like Stanley Matthews and Billy White. But as a result, at the beginning of the game, Hidegutti scored a goal in the opening minute, and then the Englishman immediately leveled the score with color; but the later game was completely controlled by the Hungarians, Hidegutti scored a hat-trick, Puskas scored twice, zibol scored a goal Hungary defeated England 6:3, making the football originator Inges disgraced.
But the England team did not give up, 53 years of home by Hungary bloodbath, originally intended to avenge in Budapest, but then came a greater humiliation, the Hungarian team once again let the English understand who is the king of football, England was played 7:1 Puskas, Kokis and Hidegutti combined to score 5 goals, two games 13:4 to make Hungarian football resound in the world football world.
Hungary set a record of 33 consecutive international matches before the World Cup finals from 14 May 1950 to 4 July 1954.
Fast forward to the Swiss world of '54, and let's take a look at their squad at the time: manager Gustav Sebes
Kochis Puskas
Ziber Florian Albert Kubala
Sarossi Borzhik
Carloy Fogel, Rolander Joseph Fogel
Grossić
Substitutes: Hidegutti, Sengrar, Schlessel, Willie Orban, Gulasic, Bai Nai
Just looking at these names, you can see why England lost to Hungary, and in the 1954 World Cup, Hungary went well at the beginning, and was the biggest favorite to win the 54 World Cup. In the group stage they have defeated South Korea 9:0, 8:3 beat Germany to easily qualify from the group, as if the World Cup is theirs, unfortunately Puskas was injured in the group stage, but as long as the back of the game is stable to play the World Cup is determined to win, in the quarter-finals their opponent is Brazil, this game is full of gunpowder, there are two penalties and three red cards, and finally Hungary beat Brazil 4:2. In the semi-finals they were played against two-time World Cup winners Uruguay, and although the match was held up in extra time, Hungary beat them 4:2 to reach the final.
It can be said that the previous game Hungary was smooth sailing, earning enough eyeballs Their final opponent was that the group stage was defeated by Germany, when many people thought that the final victory would be Hungary, no one believed that Germany would win the championship; before the game began, the superstar Puskas was completely injured, but he still insisted on playing, the opening round was tight 6 minutes Puskas scored, 2 minutes later Bor scored to expand the score, Hungary led 2:0.
Everything seemed to be as expected by the goods, hungary began another goal feast, the World Cup also seemed to be determined to be Hungary, but 10 minutes later, the field suddenly changed, the tenth West German Morlock scored, and then in the 18th minute, the West German team's Lahn scored again to level the score, the sudden change made the Hungarian team overwhelmed, and then Bernier's rain also affected the game, the Hungarian team once had an inevitable goal, because the field was muddy and stopped in front of the goal What made the Hungarian team even more unlucky was that in the last 6 minutes of the game, Hungary's Lantos made a mistake in the clearance, and was seized by west German striker Larne, who jumped forward with a kick and shot the ball in the muddy field, rolling from the Hungarian goalkeeper's hand and scoring the goal, and the West German team overtook the score. Two minutes later, Puskas scored another goal and was judged by the referee to be offside, and Hungary did not change the game until the end of the game, and 53 years later, the German team made the match into the movie "Bernier's Miracle".
After the Hungarian team no longer has the glory of the past, the Golden Generation of the Hungarian team gave the fans too many memories, and later some people said that this game was manipulated by the German team, they used illegal drugs for the players before the game, but the age is far from being verified, this final Hungarian team is too bad, such a strong lineup did not get God's favor, in the game Kochis hit the goalpost, Hedkuti hit the upright, unfortunately! I am Peng Peng Lingtian said this, pay attention to me to take everyone into the wonderful world of football.
