The most wonderful duel in football history?

In my eyes, the top 1 classic competitions in the history of the World Cup

The Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away heroes! Since the first World Cup was held in 193, many classic games have made people feel excited and excited, even unforgettable. Unfortunately, however, it was not until the fifth World Cup in 1954 that the TV broadcast mechanism was introduced. For those of us who were born late, earlier games were hard to see, but perhaps this is the beauty of regret! Here, I will share with you the classics I have seen and in my heart!

1. The quarter-finals of the 8th World Cup Portugal VS North Korea 5: 3

Time: June 23rd, 1966

The 8th World Cup is destined to be an extraordinary World Cup!

Because FIFA insisted on only giving one place to Asia, Africa and Oceania, the African Football Association's proposal to add one place was rejected and the eighth World Cup was boycotted. After the North Korean team defeated Australia, the Asian team was promoted to this World Cup. Although North Korea lost to the Soviet Union -3 in the first round of the group match, it paid a heavy price for its arrogant attitude because Italy let seven main players rest off the field after the 1-1 draw with Chile! North Korea's Doo-Ik Pak scored a goal in the 42nd minute to push Italy out of the quarter-finals. In the other group, Portugal took the opportunity of Hungary to kick Pele and bid Pele farewell to the World Cup completely, and also stood out from the group. The two teams met in the quarterfinals!

Although the opponent eliminated the Italian team, in this semi-final, the Portuguese team was unprepared and underestimated the level of the North Korean team. With abundant physical strength and tenacious fighting spirit, all members of the North Korean team fought in every corner of the audience. Only 2 minutes after the opening, the Portuguese team was beaten 3- by the North Korean team! ! ! At this critical moment, a great player stood up! ! He is the greatest player in the history of Portuguese football, Eusébio who is never afraid of any opponent! ! Calm down, Eusébio believes that their level is above that of the North Korean team, and the key to the unfavorable opening is to underestimate the enemy. After that, Eusébio managed to tie the score to 2-3 in the first half with rare general demeanor, scheduling three lines, coordinating the rhythm of attack and defense, and seizing two opportunities by himself.

In the second half, the Portuguese team attacked harder, and soon Eusébio's teammate Ogum scored a goal to equalize the score. After that, Portugal's morale was greatly boosted, but the morale of the North Korean team plummeted because of the draw. In addition, the physical strength of the North Koreans was overdrawn, and they were no longer able to resist the flood of Portuguese attacks. Under the leadership of Eusébio, the Portuguese continued to attack, expanded the results, and scored two more goals by relying on Eusébio himself. The Portuguese team turned the tables with 5: 3.

This game has become a classic in the World Cup. Although the North Korean team was defeated, it not only won a ticket for Asia, Africa and North America, but also reached the quarter-finals for the first time in the final, which changed the concept of hierarchy in world football and made the world football look at Asian football with new eyes. Eusébio has also made Portugal, a small European country, a force to be reckoned with in European football. He himself finally became the top scorer in this World Cup with nine goals, and his name will remain in the hearts of fans all over the world forever!

Second, Brazil VS Denmark in the quarter-final of the 15th World Cup 3: 2

Time: July 3, 1998

Knowing that Danish football was in the 1984 European Cup, I am familiar with the Danish football in the 1986 World Cup.

If the initiators of the Nordic Storm in 1986 were Elkhar and laudrup, and the fairy tales written by Andersen were Schumacher and laudrup Jr. in 1992, then the joint performance of laudrup and in the 1998 World Cup left a magnificent swan song in my heart!

On July 3, 1998, after the Danish team eliminated the African eagle Nigeria in a pleasing match, they met the favorite Brazil in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Brazil was in full swing at that time, and the attack line led by Ronaldo, rivaldo, Bei Beituo and others was almost invincible, scoring 1 goals in the first four games! However, under the leadership of the laudrup brothers, the Danish team was not conservative. Instead, it started an attack against the Brazilians at the beginning, and a thrilling game started!

Joergensen scored the first goal in just two minutes, and the Danish team got off to a wonderful start. Then, however, the Brazilian team launched a crazy counterattack. Less than 1 minutes later, Bei Beituo tied the score at 1: 1. When the game reached the 27th minute, rivaldo showed his superb skills. He got a wonderful pass from Ronaldo, easily controlled the ball into the small restricted area, and then pushed the goal from a small angle in the face of a defender and goalkeeper! Brazil surpassed the score 2-1!

In the second half, organized by the laudrup brothers, the Danish team once overtook the Brazilian team. In the 5th minute, George W. laudrup caught a barb error of Brazilian defender Carlos and really inserted it into the penalty area. Facing the attacking Taffarel, he calmly scored the ball into the goal! 2：2！ A touching scene appeared after this goal! Excited little laudrup ran to the edge of the field, lying on the grass, upper body lying on his side, chin resting on his left hand, announcing to the world that Andersen's sleeping beauty woke up! ! !

However, the game was cruel. In the 6th minute, it was rivaldo again. When running outside the restricted area, a beautiful touchdown shot went straight into the corner, which made Brazil win 3-2. Finally declared the end of Andersen's fairy tales!

Despite losing to Brazil, this competition truly explains the fairy-tale creativity of Danes! Accustomed to Norway's lackluster rushing and hanging, and Sweden's rigid defensive counterattack, the Danes brought us a fairy-tale football full of charm! !

Third, the final of the 1th World Cup was 1: 2

Time: July 7th, 1974

In the 1th World Cup, the previously unknown Dutch football team showed the world a brand-new strategy and tactics. After defeating the defending champion Brazil 2- in the semi-final, the Dutchman, led by cruyff, launched an impact on the highest honor in the World Cup! Their final opponent is the host country, the Federal Republic of Germany.

At the beginning, the Dutch team played a dazzling cooperation, until cruyff finally got the ball into the penalty area and was put down by helpless Germans, and then when Neskens scored a 1- penalty, it was only 55 seconds before the start of the game, setting a record for the fastest goal in the history of the World Cup at that time. What's even more incredible is that the Germans didn't even touch the ball on the field until the end of the goal! ! ! However, the West Germany team did not panic and continued to play in a rigorous and orderly manner. In the 25th minute, the West German team also got a good opportunity of penalty kick, which was hit by Breitner. At 43 minutes, the shooting machine Muller of the West Germany team turned to shoot after getting the ball at 12 meters, and the ball brushed the column and finally the West Germany team won the glittering World Cup for the second time.

The final showdown between the Netherlands and West Germany was undoubtedly heated. The British referee first gave the Netherlands a penalty, and the avant-garde Nikens did it overnight. At this time, the game had just started for 55 seconds, setting a record for the fastest goal in the history of the World Cup. However, the German team quickly saved its own destiny with its unique indomitable spirit. In the 25th minute, the West German team also got a good opportunity of penalty kick, which was scored by Blaettner. At 43 minutes, the shooting machine Muller of the West Germany once again seized the opportunity, got the ball 12 meters in front of the goal and turned to shoot. The ball went into the net, and the German team led the first half with 2: 1. In the second half, the Dutch team, which was behind the score, made a desperate counterattack across the board, but the West German players were United and finally saved the victory and won the World Cup again.

Although he didn't win the World Cup, cruyff, the leader of the Dutch team, was rated as the best player for his outstanding performance, while Mueller of the West Germany scored only four goals in this World Cup, but he scored 14 goals in the two World Cups he participated in, making him the athlete who scored the most in the history of the World Cup so far.

Fourth, the quarter-final of the 15th World Cup Brazil VS Netherlands 3: 2

Time: July 9, 1994

The 15th World Cup in 1994 was held in the United States. In this World Cup surrounded by violence and scandals, Many people think that the battle between Pakistan and Holland should be played in the final of the championship and runner-up. Because some people are looking forward to Brazil's further glory, but they really don't want to see the most pleasing team in Europe at that time-the Dutch team was eliminated prematurely; While others hope that the Dutch team can bid farewell to the title of "uncrowned king", they don't want Brazil in the semi-finals, but the fact is so cruel that the representatives of the two offensive styles have to meet prematurely!

Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, the two teams started to play offensive football. Although neither team could knock on the other team's goal in the first half, the two sides attacked and defended in an orderly way. After the relocation, the Brazilian team set off an attack frenzy at the beginning. romario and Bei Beituo cooperated with each other and helped each other to score a goal. The Brazilian team led by two goals! At this point, the game has entered the middle of the second half, and Brazil, which leads by two goals, seems to be winning. However, the Dutch organized a crazy counterattack at this time. Bergkamp's powerful shot and Winter's header equalized the score, and the Brazilian fans suddenly calmed down, while the Dutch fans changed from silence to cheers. Just then, Brazil won a free kick in the frontcourt more than 3 meters away from the goal. Blanco, the veteran who replaced Leonardo, scored a low flat ball and went straight through the wall to the corner of the Dutch gate! The Brazilian fans broke out in silence! ! ! ! In the end, the Brazilian team eliminated the Dutch team and passed the risk. After 16 years, it once again reached the semi-finals of the World Cup!

It is also worth mentioning that after Bei Beituo scored the second goal in this game, he was overjoyed. romario and Zinho ran to the touchline with him, and * * * started the famous "cradle" celebration for his newborn child! This celebration later became a goal celebration followed by many players, and became a classic in the goal celebration!

V. Argentina VS England 6: 5 in the 1st/8th final of the 16th World Cup

Time: June 3, 1998

The 16th World Cup was held in France in 1998, and the teams participating in this World Cup were 24 for the first time. In this World Cup, Argentina has changed the conservative impression it gave people in 199, and the group matches have been fully played, with seven goals scored in three games and no goal lost; England team has finally made great progress after taking the technical road, and the integration of body and technology makes their football more beautiful. So no matter which team is eliminated, it is the loss of the World Cup. What's more worth mentioning is that hoddle, the head coach of the English team at that time, was a player in the-England World Cup in Mexico in 1986, and it was from him that Diego Maradona scored the best goal in history. Therefore, this battle still means revenge for hoddle!

the first 1 minutes of the game are very dramatic! Just five minutes after the opening, Simone of Argentina took the ball into the opponent's restricted area. England goalkeeper Seaman threw him down and was sentenced to "capital punishment" by Danish referee Nelson. Batty's penalty made the Argentine's first attack successful! But five minutes later, only 18-year-old Owen got the ball and brought it into the opponent's penalty area, which caused Argentina's Ayala to foul and also got a penalty. Shearer hit a knife and tied it at 1: 1.

after that, the game reached a climax! Beckham made an accurate long pass. Owen used his speed to get rid of Argentine defender No.3 Cha Mote, and then passed No.2 Ayala. Before the attacking Argentine goalkeeper, he shot with his right foot in the penalty area and hung the ball in the upper right corner of the goal. Owen, an 18-year-old boy, established his position as a talented teenager in the world football with this magnificent goal, and gave England a 2-1 lead.

After conceding the goal, the Argentine team launched a massive attack. In the first half stoppage time, the Argentine team won a free kick in the frontcourt. Batty feinted to cover it, and Veron seemed to shoot but went straight to Zaneti, who was ambushed in the left middle of the penalty area. At a loss, the English could only watch Zaneti's left-footed shot equalise. The cooperation and tactical arrangement of this goal are enough to be loaded into football textbooks!

Beckham's lack of calmness and Simone's fake singing in the second half have become classic memories in history. After David Beckham was sent off with a red card, the England team was at a disadvantage, but it was very tenacious! Even before the end, Campbell scored a header, but the goal was invalid because of the foul! In this way, the game passed the overtime and entered the penalty shootout!

In the first round, Bertie of Argentina and Shearer of England both missed shots, with a total score of 3: 3; In the second round, both crespo and ince's shots were saved, and the score remained at 3: 3; After two rounds, both sides hit, the score rose to 5:5, and the crucial fifth round began! ! After Argentina's Ayala shot first, Batty, the fifth player from England, was shot by the Argentine goalkeeper!

Two dramatic penalties, two beautiful goals, exaggerated performances and the price of a young red card, as well as a thrilling penalty shoot-out, a game has concentrated so many fascinating elements that it is absolutely rare in the history of the World Cup! !

VI. Argentina VS England in the quarter-final of the 13th World Cup 2: 1

Time: June 22, 1986

The so-called "hand of God" and "the best goal of the century" have long been widely circulated football stories. In the quarterfinals of the 1986 World Cup, Argentina and England, two feuding teams with different styles, wrote an unforgettable history in Mexico City.

Because of the Falklands War, the two countries have become political enemies. On the football field, the Argentines want revenge on the battlefield! Therefore, after the opening, a fierce competition was quickly launched on the double! First, beardsley received a quick straight ball from hoddle and broke into the restricted area. The goalkeeper Pumpido slipped and made beardsley face the goal directly, but his shot hit the side net. Then Diego Maradona penalized a curveball 25 yards from the goal, and the ball flew off the goal post.

Six minutes after the start of the second half, the controversy appeared! ! ! ! On the right side of England's penalty area, valdano's pass was tackled by the English defender and the ball changed direction.
