Behind every successful player there is also a bunch of failed players.

After all, for stars in their early thirties, dragging their scarred bodies and waiting for the next four years is too cruel, football is a bowl of youth, and most people in their thirties have earned enough money to spend a lifetime, if they can't stand on top of the world, they can only retire and enjoy the rest of the year.

After the match between China and England, the 34-year-old Red Army soul Steven Gerrard also announced his retirement, while the 34-year-old Blues Dinghaishen Sterry also announced his retirement from the national team, officially retiring after completing his final season contract with Chelsea.

Although Gerrard's contract with Liverpool is signed for one year, because Gerrard's performance in the World Cup is very good. The Reds wanted Steven Gerrard to extend his contract for another year, but Liverpool's efforts ultimately failed. Physically and mentally exhausted, Steven Gerrard turned down the club's offer to play for another year.

At the press conference, Gerard said gloomily, "...... The reason why I'm still fighting on the football pitch at this age is because I want to be able to play in the World Cup, I want to win the World Cup for the Three Lions, but unfortunately my dream didn't come true, we were locked out of the final, I'm 34 years old, there's no next four years, let the young people do the task of winning the World Cup, I'm tired, I want to be with my family, I owe them so much. ”

John Terry says he retired from the national team in the hope of playing for Chelsea for another year, having been through a lot of rights and wrongs, and now he wants the media and fans to let him play a happy and pure football for another year.

Steven Gerrard and John Terry certainly weren't the last stars to leave at the World Cup, nor were they the first to leave. Before he left, Lahm, Xavi, Schweinsteiger and other superstars also announced their retirement, which marked the gradual aging of the post-80s stars, and the post-90s officially became the dominant force in world football.

Their departure also made the fans of the post-80s superstars Kaka, Xiao Luo, and Li Huan sad, because after the World Cup final, these people may also leave the green field.

Of course, Kaka, Xiao Luo, Li Huan and other superstar fans have no time to be sad, there is a world peak king battle waiting for them, in the July fire, sadness is like a flash of dark clouds, most fans are excited, excited and cheerful, with the Chinese team and Brazil reaching the finals, the World Cup has finally arrived, although there are still four days before the World Cup battle between the two teams, the world's major sports media, five continents of major football federations, Fans on the Internet have already begun to make the final mobilization for this battle of kings at the Maracanã Stadium.

The influence of "Global Sports", "São Paulo Page", and "Reims Sports" in the football world is not at all comparable to China's "Weekly News" and "Ball Daily", if it were not for Li Huan's closest journalist Jia Lei, fans in other countries would not know that there is also "Football Daily", and "Weekly News" is now unknown to European and South American fans.

For a while, the Brazilian media, large and small, were frantically cheering for the Samba Army - "Global Sports": "The Law of History Shows that Brazil Will Win the Championship", "The historical law of the world distribution of the World Cup winning team proves that the Brazilian team will win the championship, only the Brazilian team has won the World Cup on the European continent, only the Brazilian team has won the World Cup on the Asian continent, and the American team will inevitably win the World Cup held in the Americas." ”

"Reims Sports": "Menezes hints at finding a way to contain Li Huan"

Uruguay's "El Nacional" also came to cheer for the Brazilian team, saying that a superstar team will inevitably collapse with a touch when it meets a group of superstars, and Argentina's "Ole" newspaper expressed its support for Brazil: I hope that the championship trophy will stay in South America, the Chinese team is not strong enough to compete with Brazil, and their good luck should come to an end......

The media of the Chinese team also wants to make their voices heard, but the media of the Chinese team are used to telling lies, the whole world does not believe it, and the influence is too small to have an impact on fans outside China, but at this time the European media took action, as the protagonist of the confrontation between Europe and the United States, Europe does not want the Americas to surpass them too much in the number of World Cup victories, of course, they prefer to see the jokes of the host Brazil, and the strength of the Chinese team is simply impossible to have any impact on the pattern of the confrontation between Europe and the United States, the reason why they have reached this point, It's just that there is a Li Huan, and the 31-year-old Li Huan can still play for a few years, so the European media chose to cheer for the Chinese team.

All kinds of news are like information warfare in war, overwhelmingly rolling fans and opponents, that is, for the teams they support, but also to attract the attention and sales of fans, and the whole world is like a mess, all about the news of the World Cup final.

During the one-month World Cup, about 3.2 billion people around the world will watch the games live or watch TV broadcasts, about half of the world's population. Many countries have taken a holiday for the World Cup, many politicians have begun to compete to be the most fervent fans of the national team, and even some international conflicts have been suspended because of the World Cup. The final is the most important part of the World Cup, according to FIFA predictions, about 2 billion people watched this game, while the South African World Cup final is 1 billion, the reason why there are so many more viewers, mainly because the Chinese team reached the final, even Chinese who don't like football and don't watch football will sit in front of the TV to watch the game. At this time, whether you are active or passive, no one can avoid the impact of the World Cup.

Many football celebrities are obviously not willing to be lonely at this time, and they have also jumped out to comment and predict the final.

At this time, the most convincing is naturally the two champions crowned by virtue of the World Cup - Pele and Maradona, these two are good players when they play, but when they are coaches and commentators, they can basically only be seen as entertainment, but a meal like the World Cup must also be indispensable for such a heavyweight appetizing dessert.

In an interview with Global Sports, Pele said: "The Chinese team is one of the youngest teams in this World Cup, and they are always able to create surprises under the leadership of Li Huan, but I think they still lack some heat if they want to win the championship, and as a Brazilian fan, I firmly believe that the Brazilian team will win the championship." ”

When the Brazilian reporter asked the king of Beiqiu with a black line, when he predicted before, the result was always the opposite of his prediction, will it be accurate this time?

Bailey was a little embarrassed, he said: "Forecasting is always a flattering time, it's that forecasts are always wrong, I just make a little more mistakes (Khan!). Not a little more, it's too much! In fact, there are times when it is accurate, such as in the 06 World Cup, I predicted that Italy would win the championship (you also predicted Germany, England, they all went home). This time I believe my prediction was correct. ”

Maradona has a good impression of China, and this good impression comes from his dislike of Brazil and his sympathy for Li Huan. He said: "Brazil is finished! Menezes didn't know football at all, the Brazilian team went against the tradition of South American football, they never wanted to win the championship again, and the Chinese team will go all out and win the championship at the Maracanã Stadium, just like the Uruguayans did back then. ”

Football emperor Beckenbauer spoke more rationally, he said: "Of course, the Brazilian team is the favorite, but Li Huan can create all kinds of miracles, so I will not draw conclusions now, I think the final decision may be the command art of the coaches of both sides, the on-the-spot performance of the players and even luck." ”

Dutch flyer Cruyff is optimistic about the Brazilian team, he thinks that the Chinese team is nothing but Li Huan, and their championship is simply an insult to football, "When it comes to the finals, both teams must not be mobilized, they are all fighting to the death, and the skills and tactics are such a situation, and they will not improve in three or two days, so what is the competition?" In fact, it's psychological. As the saying goes, when the two armies meet, the brave wins, the two brave meet the wise wins, and the heart comes first when the two armies meet. The heart here is the psychology, only by calming down, can you study the opponent, understand the opponent, you can discover your own problems and the opponent's problems, and be able to adapt to the situation. Brazil has played 7 World Cup finals and won 5 championships, and their experience and psychology are far better than those of the Chinese team. ”

UEFA President Michel Platini is also optimistic about Brazil, but he believes that it is a miracle that the Chinese team has played this role, and they have contributed to the World Cup, attracting more non-fans to pay attention to the World Cup, making the World Cup less monotonous and cliché.

At this time, politicians also came to join in the fun, and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and China's first brother said that they would definitely come to watch the World Cup final.

The first brother of China said excitedly: "Chinese fans are very concerned about the World Cup, there are many people who get up in the middle of the night to watch the game, I am also one of them, I said before that the Chinese team will go to the final I will go to the scene to cheer for the Chinese team, I will not break my promise, even if I am busy with work, I will go to the scene." ”
