Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Italy in front of him, Zhuo Yang couldn't help but sigh.

Familiar because he had been a proud player in Serie A for three years and made many friends there. There was no one in the Italian team that he didn’t know. Strange because there were not many old international players he had spent time with.

indivual.

The Italian national team has always been based on the top three in the north, with the Milan duo accounting for half of it. But today, looking at the starting lineup, the only ones from Milan in the starting lineup are Meng Er Ge, Gaba Ye and Gianluca Zambrotta.

Not to mention Jiuye, Nemeiren, Pharaoh, and Toldo, who announced their retirement from the national team four years ago, Ambrosini, Borriello, Bonera, and Abbiati have been taking root in the national team in recent years.

, Materazzi was not selected for Lippi's squad, and with the addition of famous players such as Del Piero, Grosso, and Totti, this Italian team is indeed unfamiliar to Zhuo Yang.

Like previous World Cups, many famous players are absent from this World Cup. The most regrettable thing is that Beckham and Ballack, given their age, it is impossible for them to have a future.

The 35-year-old Beckham was injured and left the field during the Serie A match between AC Milan and Chievo in March. He was diagnosed with a torn left Achilles tendon. At that time, the most optimistic estimate was that he would be out for three months. On that day, Beckham was carried off the field on a stretcher.

At this time, he seemed to have anticipated the seriousness of the situation. He held his head in his hands, tears kept falling from his fingers.

Beckham was loaned to AC Milan twice. The most important purpose was to prepare for the World Cup in South Africa. However, after an injury, the World Cup finally became a dream. This summer, Beckham is an accompanying official of the England national team and is responsible for specific matters.

It’s unclear, but from time to time three-piece suits and leather shoes appear in the camera.

The 33-year-old Ballack was also a tragedy. Less than a month before the opening of the World Cup, he was beaten by the Ghanaian international Boa, who was born in Germany and played for Hertha Berlin, in the FA Cup match against Portsmouth.

Teng was stepped on and was later diagnosed with a ruptured cruciate ligament in his right ankle.

Ballack has been the captain of the German national team since 2002. His two major goals in football life are the Champions League and the World Cup. Ballack has won seven championship titles in his career, but what impresses people most is his 13

A runner-up, which seems to be a Guinness World Record.

The legendary "King of Sanya" in 2002 can only be erased by the Champions League and the World Cup. That year, Zhuo Yang joked with Ballack and suggested that he go to Hainan Island in China for vacation, because there is a very beautiful sky and water.

The city of Sanya. Barak’s face was blue at that time.

Ballack also came to South Africa with the national team. He followed the team leader Bierhoff all day long and did some official things. Both of them were tall men with arms that could run horses and boxing, and they could stand and touch the sky. They walked together.

They complement each other.

This summer, the most sad absences are Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. With these departures, the road ahead is unclear. The World Cup may have bid farewell to two unparalleled football wizards in the past.

In the Brazilian League last season, although Ronaldo was not the absolute main force at Corinthians, he still maintained an average of one goal in two games. However, Dunga, who highly admires Europeanization, never considered bringing Ronaldo to South Africa from the beginning.

, his playing style is very Brazilian, not Dunga’s type.

Ronaldinho was ultimately excluded from the squad for this reason, and his performance in AC Milan this year was not exciting enough and he really failed to convince the public. Under his influence, he became more and more fond of 'playing the ball'.

And it is not surprising that Pato, who lacks scoring efficiency, was not selected.

Last season, AC Milan's top scorer was Inzaghi, and Jiu Ye's 18 goals also ranked 6th in the Serie A scorer list. This time Lippi specially asked Jiu Ye to come out to help him, but Jiu Ye did not agree.

.The 37-year-old Yaodao can no longer withstand continuous hardships, and with Jiuye's current state, everything is in vain, including football and scoring goals.

Nesta also declined Lippi's invitation. The beauty's ability to stabilize the sea since winning the Milan Triple Crown is enough to push captain Cannavaro to the bench, but this is precisely the reason why he refuses to come out again.

1. The fairy-like Nesta just wants to enjoy his last days of football in peace, and fame and fortune are only external things.

Jiuye and Neimei don’t take the World Cup seriously, but some people are eagerly looking forward to it but never get Lippi’s favor. Borriello, who scored 15 goals in the season, was unable to play in the qualifiers, which made the coach finally

After giving up on him, AC Milan captain Ambrosini also failed to get a call because he gradually fell into mediocrity.

King Totti of Rome also withdrew from the national team four years ago. This time, he did not know whether he could not suppress the blood in his body and expressed his willingness to play for the national team again. However, Lippi said politely: Hello

, my signal is not good, I can’t hear clearly...

Del Piero also encountered the same situation. Both he and Totti were hated by Lippi because of their domineering style. They were the core on the field. When they were young, the coach was very capable and could tolerate it. But when they got older, no one was willing to give in to them.

.

Among Zhuoyang's friends, Flamini was not selected for the French team due to style issues, and he didn't care at all from his tone. Another famous person who did not come to South Africa is Riquelme, but his affairs are quite complicated.

Gossip.

In fact, Maradona admires Riquelme very much. He has been a regular player of the Lao Ma national team in the early stage. He can't wear No. 10 but No. 8 is still okay. But the problem lies with Maradona and Riquelme.

On the tempers of two people.

Riquelme has a younger brother named Christian, and the two brothers have a very good relationship. In 2002, Christian was kidnapped in Buenos Aires, but the younger brother bargained to redeem his younger brother for 160,000 yuan.

Christian and Aguero were childhood friends, and their relationship was very sweet. That year, the two teenagers in white fell in love with Janina Maradona, the daughter of the football king. Maybe Aguero

Luo Qiu played better, maybe because he was more handsome, so Janina and Akun became lovers.

But Christian was unwilling to give up and continued to pursue Janina, sending three text messages a day and one phone call every two days. Until Janina became pregnant with Aguero's child, he still had no regrets.

For this reason, not only did Aguero and Christian completely break up, but it also angered the football king who loves his daughter. Maradona once said that he would die for football, but for the sake of his two daughters, he would give up football.

The football king called Riquelme and asked him to restrain his younger brother. If Riquelme knew how to behave, nothing would happen if he verbally agreed. He could just go back and tell Lao Ma that he really can't control his younger brother.

.

However, Maradona is the most stubborn person in the football world, but Riquelme is also a super stubborn person. He straightened his neck and said: I have nothing to do with it, let them solve it by themselves. He was so angry

The furious ball king threw the phone down.

Looking back, Riquelme felt that he was not a good person. Maradona would definitely not let him go. He would definitely find an excuse to expel him from the national team. The more he thought about it, the more true it became. Riquelme never wanted to be pickled by others.

He took a preemptive strike and immediately announced his withdrawal from the national team in the media.
