Portugal, where individual heroism is vividly interpreted, seems to have been more anticipated by the emergence of heroes than anyone else, and in the football world, such as the waiting for figo on the right.
In the stunning football world of the 1991 World Youth Championships, Queiroz led Portugal with Luis Figo and Rui Costa as the core of the competition, making Figo considered a potential stock for top stars early on, and it was only a matter of time before the European giants sent invitations.
Europe is a land that The Portuguese players must conquer if they want to prove themselves, and figo at that time was no different.
In 1995, a year after the departure of Prince Commander Michel Laudrup, Cruyff was working intensively in Barcelona to build a dream team, and if there was an unshakable dominance in European football, it was imperative to find a suitable successor to Michel Laudrup, and to seamlessly connect with the team's European style of play and South American technology.
In this way, the 23-year-old Figo entered Cruyff's hunting list, and the Barca Meritorious Coach quickly won the future Portuguese footballer of the year for 2.2 million euros.
On Figo's first day at Camp Nou, Guardiola and Amor welcomed his arrival on behalf of the whole team.
Later, due to Cruyff's poor coaching record: the league was third, he was out of the Copa del Rey final and then the UEFA Cup semi-final, and the conflict with the president of the team continued, the Dutchman left in disgrace, Bobby Robson took office, and after Robson left, Van Gaal took up the coaching whip of Barcelona.
Although the changes are constant, what remains unchanged is Figo's unshakable mainstay role in the team, Rivaldo and Figo's cooperation on the offensive end, he won the captain's armband and also won the trust of the city of Barcelona.
As Barca celebrate its centenary, Figo, along with many of the milestone stars in the club's history, has become an ambassador for Barca in the centenary. Admittedly, figo was Barcelona's darling in those years, and we can even assert that without that "transfer of the century" drama, Figo would have remained in Barcelona's history forever.
As the person who is most difficult for Barca fans to let go, everything has to start from the second millennium. The 2000 European Championship overturned the first domino of figo's transfer to Real Madrid.
Portugal, a country that combines strong religion and Arab culture, for a long time in the "post-Eubisio" era, their football seems to be singing the "Fado" nostalgic for the glory of the old days, but the "golden generation" represented by Figo has opened the prelude to the revival of Portuguese football.
At Euro 2000, Portugal was placed in another death group in addition to Group D (Netherlands, France, Czech Republic, Denmark), which, in addition to Portugal, was germany, England and Romania.
Portugal, who were two goals behind, scored three goals in a row against England in the first game of the group stage, and portugal, which was fully substituted, won 3-0 in the final round of the group stage against Germany.
In the following matches, Portugal defeated 2-0 in Group B, Turkey, and although the semi-final became a stepping stone for the French team's hegemony, Portugal, which ended tragically, achieved its transformation into a tiger and wolf division.
After the European Championship, the Portuguese players with the top four report cards have received olive branches from European teams, and Figo also hopes that Barca will give a higher salary, but Barca president Nuñez, who is unwilling to break the salary balance in the team, resolutely refuses Figo's request.
At a time of turmoil in Real Madrid's management, the election of a new chairman, Lozoren Sans sought re-election with two Champions League trophies in his hands, and his opponent was Florentino, a well-known shrewd businessman.
After noticing that Figo and Barca were in trouble, Florentino took the initiative to contact Figo and offered a sky-high salary of five times that of Barca, and Figo's agent Vega immediately realized that this was a godsend to threaten Barca with a salary increase, and immediately signed a Figo franchise agreement with Florentino, which cost a penalty of up to $30 million.
In fact, Vega didn't think Florentino would win the competition with Lozzolen Sans. After that, things don't turn out the way they were calculated.
Florentino, who held Figo's chips to join, unexpectedly defeated Sanz with 55% of the vote and was elected as the new president of Real Madrid, pushing Figo to the cusp of the storm.
Figo, who has never been able to reach a friendly consensus with Barca, seems to have only one choice: to join Real Madrid. From catalonia to Madrid, it is not only a distance of 600 kilometers, but also a feud for generations.
In a 16-year interview with Figo in the newspaper As, Figo described Barca this way: You won't hear me say anything bad about Barça, no matter how I end up there. It was a wonderful experience and I benefited a lot as a player. The five years I enjoyed being there and I couldn't be betrayed by my past, which made me a real player.
In any case, Figo's time at Real Madrid is still glorious. On July 24, 2000, when he took the jersey from Di Stefano, it symbolized the arrival of an era.
Under Figo's leadership, Real Madrid sang triumphant songs in La Liga and the Champions League. In addition to team honors, Figo also launched a personal attack on personal honors, beating Zidane and Shepchenko to win the Ballon d'Or.
In 2005, Marca said: The first superstar to join the Galaxy left. As the only one of the seven superstars of Real Madrid to witness the collapse of the dynasty, after the boiling transfer farce, he put on a blue and black shirt and arrived at Inter Milan.
In the 05-06 season, Figo showed the strength of the superstar with a near-perfect performance. Figo, who has passed the age of standing, can still perform a hat-trick in the Apennines, fans do not hesitate to praise this man who may have some vicissitudes, and countless people in Meazza's stands have applauded him.
Why do we love Figo? The football world is like a miniature version of life, we can see the happiness of revenge, see the bittersweet and bitter, if Beckenbauer is like an idealized vision, Figo is thinking of being a portrayal of ordinary people, there are ups and downs, there are ups and downs, there are joys and bitterness, this road goes down, there are countless regrets that cannot be repaired.
On March 22-24, the 2019 Legends Cup Football All-Star China Game will be held in Chengdu, and Figo will also participate in this competition, forming a world star team with stars such as Barty, Litmanin and Yepes to compete with five other teams. Once again, we will see their story, the sequel to their feud.
