Was huacampos really strong in those days?

Campos, I believe all the old fans in China still remember this name! He used to be the top scorer in the Mexican League. He often chooses to wear 1 jersey in the first half and No.9 jersey as a striker in the second half. In the 1990s, world football also painted a beautiful landscape. Campos played in the 1994 and 1998 World Cups, wearing the iconic tricolor jerseys. Green with yellow and pink gives you the reputation of "flower".

Modern fans watching Campos may still stay in his classic rescue picture of the World Cup, but they never know that he once served as a team striker and even won the golden boots in the league. Just when he joined the first Mexican cougar football team, he hesitated between goalkeeper and striker. Although he was trained as a professional goalkeeper since childhood, in fact, Adolfo Rios firmly controlled the position of the starting goalkeeper in the team at that time, so Campos played as a striker in the first show of 1988- 1989. Throughout his football career, Campos occasionally made a guest appearance as a striker, with a total of 40 goals. The frontline strength of organizing attacks should never be underestimated.

Campos was almost always assigned to play forward in the 1989- 1990 season. He scored 14 goals for the Mexican cougar this season and is the top scorer in the league this season. Such brilliant achievements are enough to attract the pursuit of many European clubs and let him continue to be the first striker of the team, but Campos has never given up his childhood goalkeeper dream. In addition to helping the team get ahead, he has another identity, that is, the substitute goalkeeper.

After winning the golden boot in the league, he turned to be a goalkeeper. Unfortunately, he failed to land in Europe.

Just after winning the first Golden Boot trophy in the Mexican League, Campos turned to be the starting goalkeeper of the Mexican Pumas. I still remember that I shocked many fans at that time. In football, strikers always outshine others, but Campos still faces all fans who question him with practical actions. Looking at Campos, who is only 1.68 meters tall, the fans feel that he is not worthy of being the main force at all. But he showed amazing jumping ability in the first season, making the enemy striker look silly. Campos knew that he was not as tall as other goalkeepers, so he often used fast break to grab the ball, which became the secret weapon of Mexican cougar defense.

199 1, Campos led the team to win the league championship. You know that the league needs long-term and stable performance, which means that Campos' goalkeeper career has reached its peak. Campos officially transformed from a striker to a goalkeeper, and according to the memories of old fans, Campos even became popular in European football, and many big clubs paid close attention to his dynamics. But unfortunately, many commentators think that Campos' height is not dominant, and joining the top league will expose its shortcomings, and the giants have never made an offer.

He set foot in the World Cup twice and was named the third largest goalkeeper in the world.

No matter how ridiculed or even ridiculed, Campos chose to continue his goalie dream. He clearly stated his goal, that is, to become the goalkeeper of the Mexican national team and represent Mexico in the World Cup. 199 1 this year, that is, the year Campos won the league championship, the Mexican national team brought him good news, and his dream finally came true! Successfully selected as the goalkeeper of the national team and entered the starting lineup after the game.

1994 World Cup, Campos made it to the top stage of football, and Mexico was grouped with Italy, Norway and Ireland. Mexico finally achieved a record of 1 win 1 draw 1 loss, thus winning the first place in the group and getting tickets for the knockout stage. 1/8 final, Mexico vs Bulgaria, 120 minutes later, the game will still be 1- 1. The referee blew his whistle and declared a penalty shoot-out.

The Bulgarian's first penalty was Krasmir Balakov, who concentrated on the run-up and then slammed the goal. Just as the fans in the stands were waiting to see Campos' joke, he suddenly jumped up and saved the penalty neatly. Mexico was finally defeated, but Campos' rescue picture was still sung by fans all over the world.

Hua became a swan song and saved Messi's shot before retiring.

Campos has the title of Hua precisely because he wears colorful jerseys every time he goes out. Campos' costume design was actually inspired by his hometown of Acapulco. At the 1994 World Cup in the United States, FIFA specifically stipulated that Campos was not allowed to wear his own clothes, considering that fancy jerseys would affect the striker's play. Back in that year, this regulation of FIFA also triggered a heated discussion. Some fans even called on the opposing goalkeeper to wear fancy jerseys instead of restricting Hua's dress.

Campos announced his retirement after winning the last championship in his career in 2004, but through the classic charity competition organized by Messi and his friends on 20 1 1, he still proved that he is still the Hua who is eager to gallop on the court. He showed a classic save in the charity tournament, and blocked the shots of Ortega, romario, Messi and other stars successively, becoming Hua's swan song. Campos didn't stop after retiring. He chose to become the assistant coach of the Mexican national team and continued to write his own wonderful football chapter.

When I think of China, Faye Wong's classic song "Butterfly" can't help ringing in my ears, just like the lyrics say: "Butterflies can't fly over the sea, how can they bear to blame!" He has never landed in the top leagues in Europe or won the World Cup, but Campos proved to the world the greatness of his dream. With the miracle he created in his football career, I think Hua, who once galloped on the court in the 1990s, will always be remembered in the chapter of football history.
