The former A-League is also a common memory of a generation of fans, although the level is far from high, the threshold is definitely not low, and even many world-famous stars have eaten behind closed doors. Such as Asprila, Salenko, Bebeto... A string of star-studded names, I don't know how many glasses have been broken. Among these stars who have no connection with A A, the most famous one may be the first to promote Bebeto. This person once had the same name as Li Huajun, and successively partnered with the lone wolf Da Luo, and was recommended to A A but was rejected, which is also quite dramatic to think:
Bebeto's talent for football is unquestionable. At a young age, he emerged in the talented football kingdom and was highly anticipated by the Brazilian football industry. At the 1983 World Youth Football Championship in Mexico, Bebeto received worldwide attention, not only helping the Samba Army to win the World Youth Championship for the first time, but also being shortlisted for the "Six Stars of Hope" of the current tournament, along with Basten, Li Huajun, Protasov and other players, so that many Chinese fans have remembered his name since then.
However, fandom is not the same fate. Unlike Li Huajun, who has a bumpy road to the stars, Bebeto has been smooth sailing since his debut, and the goddess of luck has repeatedly smiled at him. For example, shortly after he came to prominence, his host Flamengo lost the famous Zico, which gave Bebeto the opportunity to rise to the top with little effort, laying a solid foundation for his future landing in the Europa League.
The same good luck is also reflected in the Brazilian national team. For example, before the 1994 World Cup in the United States, the unruly "lone wolf" Romario once publicly expressed his hope to partner with Edmundo in the front. However, the then Brazilian national team coach Pereira was extremely unimpressed with Edmundo and ignored the opinions of Romario; at the same time, the future famous "alien" Ronaldo debuted at this time, and his skills were far from mature, coupled with Pereira's use of soldiers and recognized conservatism, naturally did not make Ronaldo the main striker in the United States World Cup.
After a series of favorable events, Bebeto's main seat was as stable as Tarzan, forming a recognized golden partnership with Romario to help the Samba Army regain the long-lost World Cup title. It is worth mentioning that in addition to attacking the city, Bebeto is also a master of set-pieces. Even in the star-studded Samba Legion, Bebeto is considered the most secure on penalties. In the World Cup final against Italy, Bebeto was brazil's fifth penalty shooter. Unfortunately, Baggio missed a penalty, which made Bebeto lose the opportunity to make a final decision.
At the 1998 World Cup in France, luck once again favored Bebeto. Originally, according to the imagination of the media and fans, the "Rollo combination" of Romario and Ronaldo was the first line of the Samba Legion. However, Romario unfortunately suffered an injury, coupled with the captain Dunga's strong opposition to the "lone wolf" selection, the widely anticipated "Rollo combination" could not appear together in france. Bebeto is once again the biggest beneficiary, partnering Ronaldo as a mainstay.
Even throughout the history of football, Bebeto's luck is more or less unique. Of course, this is not to say that Bebeto does not have the strength to sit in the main position of the Brazilian national team, after all, he has won the top scorer in La Liga and has undoubted strength. However, it is undeniable that the luck factor of if there is nothing is also of great help to Bebeto.
However, whether it is strength or luck, it will eventually lose in the face of time. After Bebeto turned 35, his competitive status declined by a certain extent, which made it difficult for him to continue to sit in the fiercely competitive leagues, and had to condescend to those leagues that were not so cruel in terms of competition. It is in this context that agents will recommend Bebeto to clubs in the A League, which caused a lot of waves at that time.
The famous agent Zhang Defa once recommended Bebeto to Shandong Luneng, but was rejected by the then general manager Shao Kenan. As for the reason, it is caused by Shandong Luneng's perception that Bebeto is too old; the A team that has a similar view with Shandong Luneng, as well as Dalian Shide, Lin Lefeng once made it clear that there are indeed agents who recommended Bebeto to him, but what he wants is a powerful foreign aid... By implication, Bebeto at that time no longer had the strength of the past.
The wind and snow moon, after all, can not withstand the vast years.
