"Liang Po is old, can he still eat?" Entertainment Brother wants to give this sentence to Belgian , which lost to Moroccan yesterday.
Before the match between Belgium and Morocco, whether it was a football critic, a fan, or even those who didn't watch the game, he agreed that the European Red Devils Belgium, which has a "golden generation", could easily win the African team Morocco, but it was still a surprise.
Until now, this World Cup has been held, and there are only upsets and upsets, and various powerful teams have staged upset dramas one after another. But the others may be really upset, but Belgium said it was unexpected, but it was reasonable. After all, the "golden generation" of Belgian players are already old.
Belgium shines in the last World Cup. The "golden generation" at that time was in youth. The team was known as the "No. 1 European leader". The paper lineup was extremely luxurious. Almost every player was at the main level in their own clubs. He contributed many classic games in the last World Cup and won the third place. He can be regarded as a representative work and a last work.
4 years later, the Belgian team is still the "No. 1 in Europe", but the world's number one position was replaced by Brazil. The players participating in this competition are basically the "Golden Generation" as the center. They thought they could continue the glory of the last time, but they did not expect that time would make people grow old and they would lose their spirit of the past.
As we all know, athletes eat young meals, and their condition will inevitably decline as time comes. Especially football, which requires long-term running on the court, and the collision game depends more on age.
The clues can be seen in the first round of Belgium’s confrontation with Canada. These old players in Belgium are obviously a little overwhelmed. If it were Belgium four years ago, it was not just 1:0. You should know that Belgium scored 8 goals in two games in the last Belgium. In contrast, this performance against Canada now really has to be a question mark on "Europe No. 1"!
If the first round of the game is just a clue, then the second round will definitely be exposed. Although the overall starting value of 11 players is as high as 246.8 million euros and serves as the mainstay in various clubs, the average age of the team is over 30 years old... In contrast, Moroccan players are 3 years younger.
In the game, Belgium is not as strong as Morocco's team, and can only rely on experience to deal with offense and defense, but still fail to limit the attack of young players and were scored two goals. Even Belgian player de Bruyne was asked if Belgium was a favorite to win the championship, he answered very honestly: "We are too old to win the championship."
data statistics, the proportion of veterans among Belgian players in this game is indeed too large. Double central defenders Feltonheng and Aldrevelde totaled 68 years old, striker Mertens who came on the bench was 35 years old, players over 30 years old, 33 years old, 31 years old, Hazard and De Bruyne, 30 years old, and even Lukaku is already 29 years old... Time seems to be a killer.
But no matter what, Belgium still has the possibility of qualifying. Who knows that the team that created miracles four years ago would not create surprises again? The aging Belgian "Golden Generation" may soon usher in their last dance in the World Cup. It is time for young players to look at their backs, take over their own sticks, and become the new "Golden Generation".
