Golden Greenery

Lao Song is a wonder and a legend in the World Cup.

Starting from the first session in Uruguay in 1930, the World Cup has gone through a full 70 years of history. In these 70 years, only two players have participated in five of them, and no one can match it. Matthäus, legendary Mexican goalkeeper Carbajal, and football king Maradona are not as good as them.

In addition, there are seven players who have participated in four World Cups, and the world champion Pele is not as good as them.

Among these nine awesome figures, only two are still active players. Italy captain Cannavaro and Cameroon veteran captain Rigobert Song are competing in their fourth World Cup.

Lao Song is an amazing person, just like Mutombo in the NBA, his true age is unknown. But judging from historical records, Lao Song made his debut at the 1994 World Cup in the United States at the age of just 17 years old, becoming the youngest person to participate in the tournament. Although Ronaldo was two months younger than Lao Song, he did not win in 1994. Play the show.

Lao Song set many records in the World Cup. In 1994, he was sent off with a red card in the game against Brazil, becoming the youngest red card in the history of the World Cup. The record remains to this day. In the 1998 World Cup in France, Lao Song became the youngest captain in the history of the World Cup, a record that remains to this day. But being captain did not allow him to avoid a red card. Lao Song became the only person in the history of the World Cup to be sent off in the group stage for two consecutive years.

If not for his unexpected failure in the 2006 African World Cup qualifiers in Germany, Lao Song would have become the only player in this tournament to have participated in the World Cup five times. Zhuoyang sometimes feels that as long as Lao Song is willing, he might be able to retire with his nephew Xiao Song. Isn't Mutombo already with Yao Ming?

Lao Song also created a good story in this World Cup. He and his nephew Alexander Xiao Song appeared in Cameroon's lineup. Lao Song originally regarded Xiao Song as his own, so-called father and son.

The uncle and nephew played together, and Old Song and Xiao Song became the only players in the history of the World Cup.

Lao Song and Zhuo Yang have a very close relationship, and their friendship has lasted six years. Although the experience in Madibao was not a good one for Lao Song, the friendship with Zhuo Yang was undoubtedly a gain that greatly comforted him.

In fact, when he went to Madibao six years ago, Lao Song was no longer at the peak of his competitiveness, but six years later, Lao Song was still the anchor of Cameroon's defense, and he had to accept it.

In the second round of Group F, the Chinese team will play against Cameroon at the Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg. Lao Song said that he should weigh Zhuo Yang carefully. Zhuo Yang said that I don’t have the same experience as your old guy. Please ask that guy for me. Tuo'o, ask him if he is convinced.

Lao Song has always wanted to reconcile Zhuoyang and Eto'o.

But he has been unable to open his mouth. It's not that he doesn't have enough face in front of Zhuoyang, but that he has hit a snag with Eto'o.

Eto'o is a person who likes to compete. After competing with Ronaldinho in Barcelona, ​​he competed with Messi, and in the national team he competed with Lao Song. After the 2005-06 season, Barcelona's Eto'o became the world's top forward, and he began to clamor for the captain's armband in the national team.

It's not that Lao Song, who has been living in Turkey to play football, can't offend him. Eto'o didn't take him seriously even if he took advantage of Cube. It's just that Lao Song is a person of realm. Since leaving Madibao, Lao Song has downplayed fame and wealth. There are many things in life that exceed football, and the captain's armband is just a vanity.

In 2007, Lao Song gave up the armband to Eto'o, looking kind and like a father.

A few months ago, in the San Siro player tunnel, the dissatisfied Eto'o reached out blindly and was almost kicked by Zhuo Yang and suffered a concussion. After Lao Song learned about this, he felt that both sides were his own people, so he wanted to make peace with each other and turn the hostility into friendship.

Zhuo Yang did everything he could to do this. He had to give Lao Song some face, but he didn't suffer any loss. But Lao Song was frustrated by Eto'o: If there is anything to say, I can't talk to him. When Eto'o said this, his tone was quite harsh.

Zhuo Yang was a smart man. Seeing that there was no reply from Lao Song, he guessed a thing or two, then smiled to himself indifferently and did not ask Lao Song again.

Since the road is in the sky, just wait for the results to be seen on the court, but after the first round, Eto'o's goal made Cameroon and the defending champion Italy compete, and Zhuoyang returned empty-handed. The Chinese team was last in the group. This is considered Let him find an opportunity to ridicule.

"I am the best forward in this group, there is no doubt about it. I will lead Cameroon and Italy to qualify, and this goal is just the beginning." Eto'o said: "Paraguay is a very good team, they will Become a strong contender in this group.”

Reporters are all jealous: "What about the Chinese team and Zhuo Yang?"

"Haha." Eto'o turned and walked away.

Cameroon and the Chinese team came to Johannesburg on the same day, but they stayed at the Hyatt Regency Hotel 10 kilometers away from the Hilton and did not meet the Chinese team before the game. After the reporter relayed Eto'o's contempt, he waited for Zhuo Yang to start the battle with his eyes shining.

"The best forward in Group F? Of course it's Li Jinyu! That goal from Big Fish, tsk tsk, ordinary forwards can't score it at all, don't even think about it. Let me tell you, Li Jinyu's goal is probably not only the goal of this The fastest goal in the World Cup, and it will also become the best goal. Let's wait and see!" Praising one's own people is reasonable and politically correct, and no one can find fault.

The reporter was unwilling to give in: "What about you? Don't you think you are the best striker in Group F?"

"Are you stupid? I am the midfielder! Quack, quack..."

The reporter was still unwilling to give in: "Please comment on the next opponents Cameroon and Eto'o."

"Cameroon is undoubtedly a respectable and powerful team. They have a very magical history in the World Cup. Cameroon has football monuments such as Mila, N'Kono, Bjek, and Rigbert Song. There are also outstanding young players like Alexander Song and N’Kullu.”

"Eto'o..."

The reporters’ ears suddenly stretched out two feet long.

"... He is a very good striker. He has scored many, many goals at Inter Milan this season (Note: 16). As we all know, Eto'o learned a lot from Ronaldinho during his time in Barcelona. He has amazing abilities. Then came Messi. What kind of people are these two? Eto'o grew up quickly around them. So it is not surprising that Eto'o can now become a very, very, very powerful striker."

Eto'o almost vomited blood, Messi laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up, and Lao Song felt that something bad was going to happen.

Ellis Park Stadium will host five group matches. Before the arrival of the Chinese team, the Hilton Hotel had just left Messi and his Argentina. When Zhuoyang and the Chinese team were about to face Cameroon, the Spanish team also came to Cape Town. Zhuoyang and his Barcelona teammates met at the Hilton Hotel.
