What is the biggest regret in the history of football?

Everything in the world can never be perfect, and there will always be regrets and defects. The stadium is no exception. Let's talk about these five regrettable things in the highly anticipated World Cup.

First, the Dutch team missed the 1974 World Cup.

The biggest loser

1974 The Dutch team in the World Cup, led by head coach michels and superstar cruyff, blew an orange whirlwind in the whole football world. They passed the battle with devastating force, including strong teams like Brazil and Argentina. Of course, the Orange Legion has become a favorite to win the championship, because almost everyone thinks that no team will be their opponent. Unfortunately, they lost to the host country, West Germany, in the final.

That Dutch team is called "the biggest loser"! They missed the best chance to win the World Cup and were called "uncrowned kings" from now on.

Second, cruyff missed the 1978 World Cup.

Cruyff's absence from the 1978 World Cup seems to have many explanations. One is his family, and the other is that he refused to participate because of his conflict with the Dutch Football Association. In fact, after 1974 lost the World Cup final, cruyff once said: I won't participate in the World Cup again, because I can't accept losing. It seems that the arrogant Dutch superstar really didn't break his word. According to media comments, the Dutch team without cruyff is like a steak dinner without steak.

It is even more regrettable that the Dutch team without cruyff "defended" the World Cup runner-up. What if cruyff is involved? ……

Thirdly, diego maradona took drugs in the 1994 World Cup.

1994 diego maradona, 33, led his Argentine team to make a comeback at the World Cup in the United States. In the group stage, the old horse is as strong as a general, and Argentina has become a favorite to win the championship. Just as the Argentine team was poised to attack the World Cup, diego maradona was caught in the news. After two group matches, he suddenly broke out and took banned drugs, so he was banned from participating in the later games. The Blue and White Army, which lost its backbone, was eliminated by the Romanian team led by "Karbachan Diego Diego Maradona" Haji, and the old horse could only watch his Argentine team be eliminated from the stands.

1994 The World Cup was originally enhanced by Diego Diego Maradona's participation, but the ball king ended his World Cup tour in such a disgraceful way. Whether it is the World Cup in the United States or the old horse himself, this is a pity.

4. romario missed the World Cup due to injury 1998.

Romario missed 1998 World Cup.

The USA World Cup 1994 belongs to the lone wolf romario. After the 94 World Cup, with the appearance of Cristiano Ronaldo, romario's attacking partner in Brazil changed from Bei Beituo to Cristiano Ronaldo. The "Rollo Combination" has been announced! This pair of partners shined brilliantly in 1997 America's Cup and became the undisputed strongest striker combination at that time.

1998 The World Cup in France was originally the best stage for the Rollo Group to perform. Just as people were preparing to appreciate the wonderful performance of this super group, the news came that romario missed the World Cup due to injury! At the press conference announcing his absence from the World Cup, romario, who has always been rebellious, shed sad tears.

Brazil without romario also lost to the French in the final. In the 2002 World Cup, 36-year-old romario was too old to be called up by the Brazilian head coach.

It is undoubtedly the regret of fans all over the world that the "Rollo Group" failed to show its skills in the World Cup.

5. Robben missed a shot in the 20 10 World Cup final.

Robben regretted losing his single knife.

It is not uncommon to miss a single knife in world football, among which there are many superstars. However, today's mistakes are unusual. One happened in the World Cup finals, and the other happened to the "uncrowned king" Dutch team. This is the third time that this article has been written about the Dutch team, because in world football, the Dutch team itself is synonymous with regret.

Sneijder gave Robben a one-on-one chance in the 20 10 World Cup final. But Robben's shot was blocked by Cassie's leg and missed the goal. The Dutch team was killed by Iniesta in overtime. If Robben had scored a goal, Holland would have beaten Spain in 90 minutes and won the cup for the first time in history.

Robben's single knife, maybe it was a good choice to use volley at that time. Although Robben was the best winger in the world football at that time, he was not a pure shooter after all. Injection is Robben's specialty, but it seems that shooting is not his specialty. Years later, every time I think about this single-handedness, Robben still has nightmares. Because it was the most important one-on-one fight in his career, but he regretted missing it.
