Do you know who is the evergreen tree of European football?

At the age of 35, a player usually chooses to retire. Even if he didn't retire, he had already left the mainstream league and went to the United States, Qatar, Japan and other leagues to spend the end of his career. However, there are some players who are still the main force of the Giants over the age of 35, and even their peak period lasted for more than ten years. Let's take stock of some evergreen trees in football this time.

Third place, totti. Speaking of evergreen trees in football, how can you miss Prince Totti of Rome? As early as 1993, Totti started playing for the first team in Rome and retired in 20 17. Totti played in Rome for 25 years. From 1994 to 1995, Totti became the main force of Rome. By the 20 15-20 16 season, Totti can still score 8 goals in one season. As far as the main position is concerned, Totti played for 20 years. There is even a joke in football, that is, Britain's crown prince, Buffon's substitute, Rome's vice captain, and the last Rome's vice captain is Roman captain Totti, who has played for too long and has no chance to become a regular player.

Second place, Maldini. 1985, Maldini made his first appearance for the first team of AC Milan. From 1985 to 1986, Maldini officially became the main player of AC Milan. Until his retirement, 4 1 year-old Maldini still played 33 games for Milan in 2008-2009. 1994, 26-year-old Maldini was selected as the top three in the Golden Globe Awards for the first time. In 2003, 35-year-old Maldini was once again selected as the top three in the Golden Globe Awards. Although evergreen trees often appear in the position of defender, Maldini has obviously taken root in AC Milan, a thousand-year-old tree.

First place, Buffon. 1995, 17-year-old Buffon finished his first game in Palma. In 2022, Buffon, 44, was still playing in Parma. 1998- 1999, Buffon was elected as the best goalkeeper in Serie A. Assuming that Buffon's peak period began in 1998 and he left Juventus for the first time in 20 18, Buffon maintained his peak for 20 years. In today's world football, the players born in the 1980s are gradually retiring, while the players born in the 1990s are in full swing, and the players born in the 1980s are gradually coming out. Only Buffon, born in the 1970s, is still insisting. Finally, what other evergreen trees do you know?
