The Brazilians who returned to the cup will celebrate their championship next time. Let’s not mention the results of the World Cup individual awards. With the second score in the final, Ronaldo successfully surpassed his teammate Vieri in Fiorentina and won the World Cup Golden Boot with eight goals, which finally fulfilled his long-standing dream. Vieri was eliminated by South Korea early, although he scored four games and six goals in the World Cup, he could only finish second place in the final and unfortunately failed to defend the Golden Boot; as for the bronze boots, it was shared by three players, Klose, Rivaldo and Barack, who scored five goals together.
Immediately afterwards, in the World Cup Golden Ball Awards, he scored a total of five goals in the World Cup, almost bringing the German team to the World Cup finals alone, and almost bringing the Hercules Cup back to Germany, Michael Barack, who almost brought the Hercules Cup back to Germany, was favored by most judges. The midfielder who currently plays for the Vicenza Club in Serie A beats many competitors such as Kahn, Carlos, Rivaldo, Rustu and other competitors, and won the award with a considerable advantage. This also means that after many years of debut, Barack, who is already 26, has finally achieved his goal and entered the ranks of international first-tier superstars!
Let me explain here that the reason why Carlos, Rivaldo and Ronaldo, who also performed well in the World Cup did not win the Golden Ball Award is that this award is generally used to comfort players who have not won the championship. For example, at the World Cup in France four years ago, this award was awarded to Ronaldo who lost the championship, rather than Vieri who broke the World Cup six-ball curse and Robert Baggio who was reborn in Nirvana.
What's more, Barack's performance in this World Cup is indeed worthy of the Golden Ball. After all, without his goals, the German team would not be able to handle the two opponents of the United States and South Korea, let alone reach the World Cup final. If he hadn't scored twice in the final, Brazil would have easily managed Germany, which was inferior to theirs, within 90 minutes, and would not have to play until the last few minutes of overtime before reliing on Carlos' free kick to determine the outcome.
Therefore, after careful consideration, the judges finally decided to award the award to Barack, not another great contributor to the German team to advance to the final, Kahn or Turkey's goalkeeper Rustu. After all, compared with Barack who turned the tide in the final, Kahn's performance in the final was a bit disappointing, and it was difficult to convince the public. Among the other candidates, Rustu led Türkiye to win the World Cup.
The third place has a good result, but even though Kahn can't compare with Barack, the Turkish goalkeeper with two oil paints on his face naturally cannot escape the fate of losing the election; Carlos, Ronaldo and Rivaldo have been explained before, so I won't go into details here; as for the "world-class defender" Hong Mingfu advocated by the Korean media, there is no need to mention that if FIFA chooses him as the best player, the Football Associations of other countries will riot.
With the end of the World Cup, the calendar finally passed the last day of June, and the door to the summer transfer market that European clubs have been waiting for for a long time finally officially opened. And those players who have performed well in the World Cup naturally attracted fierce competition from many giant clubs and became a hot spot in the summer transfer market.
Among these players, the first to announce that they entered the transfer market was Rivaldo, who scored five goals in the World Cup and made great contributions to Brazil's final victory. As Barcelona's new coach Van Gaal insisted on driving him away immediately, the former European Golden Ball winner had to find his next home one year in advance to play in a club that satisfies him, and no longer had to look at Van Gaal's stinky face with tinted glasses all day long.
It is foreseeable that due to Van Gaal's attitude, Barcelona clubs will inevitably be in an extremely passive position in Rivaldo's transfer this summer. After all, those clubs that are interested in "Water Knife" are not fools. Since everyone knows that Rivaldo will definitely not continue to stay in Barcelona, how could they not suppress the price to death and force Barcelona to sell Rivaldo at a relatively low price?
In addition to Rivaldo, Diouf, Thomason, Robbie Keane and others have also had scandals with many teams, including traditional giants such as AC Milan and Liverpool, as well as clubs like Tottenham Hotspur, which have stupid and expensive money.
However, the news of these people is combined, and it is probably not as eye-catching as Barack's transfer rumors. After all, although these players have performed quite well in the just-concluded World Cup, Dioufs are obviously far behind in attractiveness compared to Barack, who almost led Germany to win the championship alone.
Although Barack has not made a clear statement on his future, most people know very well that after becoming famous in the World Cup, with Barack's current status in the German national team and international football, he will definitely not choose to continue to stay in Vicenza, who can only work for the European competition every year and never miss the championship trophy. Choosing a giant club with the strength to compete for the championship is more in line with Barack's current identity. After all, except for a few players, almost no first-class star in his year of playing will tolerate the results of his career.
Batistuta and Barack in their previous life are the best examples. The Argentine God of War resolutely left his beloved Fiorentina for a Serie A championship trophy and chose to go to Rome to realize his dream; and Barack also gave up the high salary and core treatment given by Bayern in order to make a breakthrough in European honors, and transferred to Chelsea to help Lampard and Terry.
Now, Barack, whose status is different from the past, has obviously reached a crossroads again. His choice will largely determine the development of his career and the number of championship honors gained in the next few years. If he accidentally joins a team that is not suitable for his performance, or a club that has the strength to compete for the championship but is so unlucky that he returns empty-handed every year, Barack will suffer a lot.
