Football: The immortal legend on the green field

Chapter 26: The Legacy of the "Devil of Dribbling"

All the young players from Sichuan Province did was for the CCTV TV program.

They are cooperating with their former rivals with their actions to make Liaosheng Tianlun's image on TV more glamorous and shining, and also to allow Shen Bin to have more audiences and applause in the years to come.

Although they also desire these things...

Both the uniform team and the players on both sides tacitly performed this wonderful show in front of the camera.

The coaches and players of other teams who were invited to the sidelines were all wearing colorful ordinary clothes, playing the role of ordinary spectators.

They are all people who understand football, so they can naturally see the mystery behind it. However, they will not spoil the fun by uncovering the secret. After all, the purpose of this video is to attract more advertisers to the TV station, so the more fancy the better.

Moreover, the performance of the Tianlun team from Liaoning Province was also superb, and many of the things were seen for the first time even for these professionals.

For example, Liaoning Tianlun No. 17 scored the second goal for the team...

Just before receiving the ball, No. 17 of Liaoning Province Tianlun was standing at the edge of the small penalty area facing the goal, and next to him were the Sichuan Province's man-marking central defender and goalkeeper.

Because his teammates were not active in defense, the marking center back had to abandon No. 17 and rush forward to block Zhu Han who was dribbling the ball into the penalty area from the right.

Zhu Han passed the ball to No. 17.

Player No. 17 stood in place and gently tapped the ball with the inside of his right foot to stop it, then dragged his leg backwards. At the moment he swung his leg, everyone looking in that direction felt clearly that there was a pause in his movement, but the pause was so short that people could only be aware of it but not capture it. It was more like a vague illusion and phantom in the mind.

However, the goalkeeper of Sichuan Province Sanniu rushed to one side of the goal...

Not until he was about to fall into the grass did Liaosheng Tianlun No. 17 complete his shot.

He just pushed the ball forward gently, and it flew into the net...

The small audience was silent.

They are still savoring the unique charm revealed in that unpredictable moment of pause.

Yes, charm! Liaoning Tianlun No. 17 brought the melody between movement and stillness to its extreme at the moment of shooting, which even gave people the illusion that time had stopped moving...

The actors in the audience immediately applauded and cheered. Even Guo Jiangping, who had been staggering, stood up and applauded for the shot.

The director immediately rushed to the cameraman and strongly requested to replay the footage. They needed to confirm whether the pause actually occurred.

The photographer agreed to their request. In fact, he was also very curious. When No. 17 shot the ball, he thought the camera was malfunctioning.

The replay footage came out, but the director was still not satisfied, because even in the slow-motion footage, they couldn't confirm whether there was a pause.

The director and the coach had different opinions. The coach believed that it was just a real situation that happened in a moment on the court.

However, the director thought that the time was too short and the audience could not see clearly, so they could not understand the beauty of this pause. This shot could not show Shen Bin's exquisite footwork and big heart in the fierce game.

The two sides began to argue about this matter.

When designing technical moves, this pause is very critical, as it tricks the goalkeeper into diving in the wrong direction.

In the end, the director's opinion prevailed. They also thought that from the audience's perspective, the director was right and the performance had to start again.

"Look! Look! He's coming again!" a reporter whose attention was still on the field shouted, loudly reminding his colleagues.

The crowd immediately raised their heads and tried to look at the lawn, and the photographer immediately raised his camera. But they saw nothing, only the players, coaches and staff of the two teams clapping and cheering loudly.

What are you looking at? What do you want us to see? Did he do something again? " Someone anxiously asked the startled guy.

Fortunately, Shen Bin quickly took action to help him out again.

Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot. In the blink of an eye, Shen Bin's two legs crossed the ball six times in a row. The Sichuan Sanniu center back who was facing him one-on-one could only stand on the grass in amazement with his mouth wide open. He could no longer make any defensive moves...

This time he really wanted to stop his opponent and save some face for himself, but he couldn't keep up with his opponent's rhythm at all, let alone face such fancy acrobatic moves.

He could only watch stupidly as his opponent passed by him, and then looked at Shen Bin's back helplessly.

Like all the players and coaches present, he initially believed that the reason why this promotional video chose this child as the protagonist must be that the child must be a relative of a senior leader of the Football Association, or related to a big shot in CCTV, or at the very least a local tyrant in Heilongjiang Province.

However, as the filming continued, their minds gradually changed.

Shen Bin's endless fancy moves made their scalps tingle. What a fucking monster!

This technical move! Even Maradona and Roberto Baggio didn't have such a technique!

Even Ronaldo, who is now at the peak of his career at Inter Milan, doesn't have so many fancy moves!

Everyone was stunned.

The director, who knew nothing about football, just stood there for over a minute without moving, mouth open, looking dumbfounded.

It wasn't until Wan Anlong came running over to him like a pug and asked him if this action symbol met the requirements that he realized what was going on.

This was the first time that Shen Bin fully demonstrated his skills in front of outsiders.

In the dream, Garrincha is not called the "Devil of Dribbling" for nothing.

Throughout the long history of the world, how many heroes have failed to receive relatively fair evaluation and status from later generations.

Garrincha is a typical example. In the four World Cups that Pele participated in, Brazil's record with Garrincha on the field was 53 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss.

The only time Brazil lost a game and was eliminated from the group stage was when Garrincha was injured and was substituted off early.

Since Garrincha's IQ is only 80% of that of a normal person, and his EQ is even less so, people who are with him usually feel like they are interacting with a child of around 10 years old.

Later, Botafogo Club took advantage of this and tricked him into signing a blank contract.

When his teammates discovered this, they wrote to Garrincha's third wife, singer Elsa Suarez, and told her about the contract fraud.

When his wife Elsa Suarez arrived at Garrincha's residence, she found discarded banknotes everywhere on the bed, table, floor...

He had no savings because he didn't understand the bank's deposit procedures. Club officials would always come to his residence every once in a while to see if he had spent all his money. If they found that there were not many banknotes left in the room, they would scatter them everywhere.

So Garrincha lived in poverty from middle age until his death.

Appendix: Garrincha's World Cup journey

In 1958, Garrincha, playing as a right winger, won his first World Cup. In the final where Brazil defeated Sweden 5-2, Brazil was once behind 0-1, but Vava scored twice to successfully overtake the score and established the lead in the game.

Behind these two key goals of Vava, there was a dancing figure. Both goals were assisted by Garrincha, and the process was exactly the same. He broke through the defender on the right and then made a cross to help Vava score.

Pele was only 17 years old at the time, and the golden-age Garincha Valdidi played a decisive role.

In the 1962 World Cup in Chile, Brazil lost the injured Pele, but still had the last laugh because they still had Garrincha. In the knockout matches against England 3-1 and Chile 4-2, Garrincha scored two goals in each game. Especially in the face of the fierce and lethal kicking style of the host Chilean team, he still played well. In the final, he and his teammates won the championship.

In 1962, Garrincha was at the peak of his powers and was once as famous as Pele.

In the 1962 World Cup, Garrincha scored 6 goals in 4 games and won the honors of Best Player and Top Scorer (tied). This World Cup was called Garrincha's World Cup.

In the 1966 World Cup, when the Brazilian national team played against Hungary, Garrincha was injured and substituted in the first half. Brazil lost to Hungary 1-3. This was Garrincha's last game for the national team.

"Brazilians love Pele, but Garrincha does not meet their moral standards." Who would make a mentally retarded person a national hero?

Garrincha and Pele's national teammate Malvina once said, "When it comes to football talent, people always talk about Pele, the King of Football, but no, Garrincha is the King of Football.
