Chapter 1175 Celebrating Blue Midsummer
For many people, even-numbered years are always more flattering.
In addition to personal preference, the bigger factor is that there will be major international football events in even-numbered years, such as the World Cup or the European Cup, and these events are grand festivals for fans.
On the stage of the 2012 European Cup that just passed, 16 top European teams gathered in Ukraine and Poland to fight for the final championship.
Finally, in the final, Italy defeated the powerful Spain through a penalty shootout, not only winning the European Cup, but also completely ending the era of Spain's pass-controlled football dominating the world.For many years to come, this European Cup final will always be remembered by fans.
In this competition, countless classic shots have become topics that fans talk about.
Irish fans sang in the rain to encourage their team. Iker Casillas' girlfriend led the Spanish reporting team with red lips and low chest. After Balotelli scored a goal, he embraced his mother in the stands. After the final, Buffon comforted Casillas in front of the goal...
These pictures have become eternal memories in the hearts of fans, and will last for a long time in the long river of football history.
After the game, the European Cup awards have also been announced.
Piero won the Golden Boot of this cup with 6 goals, and he also won the best player award.The Italian captain stuck to his responsibilities and led the team to the end with strong spirit and technique. He was an important contributor to Italy's European Cup win.
The assist king has become Pirlo's pocket. In fact, in the hearts of many fans, Pirlo also has the qualifications to win the best player, but Piero's performance is too bright, which conceals his brilliance. However, the performance of a generation of Italian midfielders has also won the praise of fans all over the world.
Another player who is highly praised is Buffon. Last season, Buffon’s club career was perfect. He not only won the quadruple crown with his Juventus teammates, but also broke the record of not conceding a goal in Serie A and international football for many years.After the game, "French Football" named Buffon, saying that he deserves this year's Ballon d'Or! (The "French Football" roll call is a real historical event)
It’s only summer now, so it’s too early to discuss the Ballon d’Or in advance, but what is certain is that the candidate for the Ballon d’Or will definitely be the double candidate of the four-time champion Juventus and the Italian national team. Stars such as Buffon, Piero, and Pirlo are most likely.
And the best coach award undoubtedly belonged to the champion coach Yun Sheng.
Taking over the Italian team halfway, according to the tradition of Huaguo, changing coaches before the battle is a big disadvantage.
However, Yunsheng relied on his outstanding performance to engage this team into a top team. He defeated the powerful Germany, England, and Spain along the way, and finally succeeded in reaching the top. His football philosophy has been confirmed again at the national team level.
In the 2012 European Cup UEFA official selection of the best 23-man team, the champion Italian team occupied 11 seats, Piero, Buffon, Pirlo, Balotelli, Cassano, De Rossi and other stars were selected one after another.
In an interview with reporters after the game, Yun Sheng publicly stated: "I like the Italian team very much and enjoy this European Cup tour very much, but I hope to coach a club team in the future, so unfortunately, I will not renew my contract with the Italian team. From now on, I will not be the coach of the Italian team. I wish the Italian team good luck in the future."
This decision made many Italian fans sad.
They originally thought that Yun Sheng would stay and lead the team to compete in the 2014 World Cup and help the Italian team replicate the miracle of the Spanish team, but in the end Yun Sheng left.
He is like a gust of wind, blowing coolly across the night sky of Poland and Ukraine, bringing all Italian fans the most beautiful dream.
However, among the many Italian fans, there are still some who are very excited, and that is Juventus fans.
If Yunsheng didn't renew his contract with the Italian team, he might return to coach Juventus!
This idea is valid. After all, Yunsheng left Juventus only to help the Italian team in an emergency, and there is no other contradiction.
Well, at least that's how it looks from the outside.
After Yunsheng announced that he would not renew his contract with the Italian team, Juventus chairman Agnelli immediately stood up and said that he would try to bring coach Yunsheng back to Juventus and let him continue to help Juventus achieve a leapfrog.And when facing the media, he sincerely stated that he would give Yunsheng more transfer funds and more management power, and he would bring Yunsheng back to Turin at all costs!
A few days later, Yun Sheng did return to Turin City.
But he didn't come back to coach, but came back to celebrate winning the European Cup.
On the second day after the final, the Italian team chartered a flight back to Apennines.
When the plane landed at the Rome airport, countless fans looked forward to welcoming their heroes.
The Italian President personally received the Italian team and thanked them for their achievements.
And Yunsheng was awarded the Italian Star Knight Medal!
The Star of Italy is a star cluster of two intertwined star-shaped crosses, with two intertwined olive and oak branches below.This medal is awarded to foreigners and Italians abroad who have made outstanding contributions to promoting friendly relations between Italy and other countries. It is one of the highest honors awarded by Italy.
Wearing the Italian star, Yunsheng felt very moved.
Unexpectedly, in the two years since he came to Italy, he not only helped Juventus become the quadruple champion, but also led the Italian team to win the European Cup. This knight medal is his great honor, and he has won the respect of the whole world for his motherland as a Chinese.
The celebration went from Rome, to Milan, and from Milan to Turin.
In the next few days, the celebration will go all the way south, and the happy cheers and applause will ignite the enthusiasm of the whole country of Italy.
However, Yunsheng asked for leave in advance and asked to say goodbye.
Beretta, chairman of the Italian Professional League, once again invited: "You are a hero of Italian football. Countless fans want to meet you in person and express their gratitude to you."
Yun Sheng smiled and said, "It's enough for champions like Del Piero and Buffon to show up. It doesn't matter if I have or not."
Beretta looked at Yun Sheng regretfully: "We're farewell this time, and we don't know when we will see each other next time. I really hope you can stay in Serie A."
Yun Sheng looked into the distance: "The Italian team is very strong, and there are young talented players like Balotelli and Bonucci. It will definitely get better and better in the future. I wish Italian football all the best, and I wish Chairman Beretta smooth sailing."
Seeing Yun Sheng's indifferent and peaceful expression, Beretta not only felt emotional in his heart.
After Yunsheng left the Apennines, where will the future of Italian football go...
