Who is the most famous star in Belgian football history?

In 1990, a 26-year-old young player's contract with the Liege team expired. Because he was not satisfied with the salary, he refused to renew the contract with the team. The new team was unable to meet the transfer fee demanded by the team, causing this young man who desperately needed to make money to support his family to fall into a dilemma. This may be the embarrassment and unfairness that many unknown professional players like him encountered back then.

This young man who had not yet gained weight at the time was Boseman. The helpless and angry Boseman took action. He took the club and the Belgian Football Association to court, and later took the former to court together with UEFA. This was a protracted war, and finally in 1995 the Court of Justice of the European Union made a ruling in favor of Boseman and introduced the "Bosman Act." Within the European Union, players are free to leave after their contracts expire and join a wealthy club that they are satisfied with. Boseman's victory at that time was driven by the tide of public opinion and attention. It was an accident that it fell on him. But in the long run, the backward UEFA regulations have reached a point where they need to be changed. Even if Not Boseman, someone else will eventually step up.

Boseman is a simple athlete who considers bread and milk. Boseman made the once-dominated minor league giants such as Ajax gradually lose their competitiveness. At the same time, the player transfer fee rose to a level that he could not imagine back then. Unthinkable numbers. After Neymar and his teammates paid hundreds of millions of euros back, their salary has also reached a very high level. Boseman was depressed and chose to retire shortly after winning the lawsuit. He did not enjoy the results of his struggle. He can not but be said to be a tragic figure.

Today’s Belgian football is in the golden period in history. In 2015, the Belgian men’s national football team historically ascended to the top spot in the world. In the 2018 World Cup , the Belgian men’s football team has created the highest performance in the history of Belgian football in the World Cup. The team has superstars such as Hazard and De Bruyne, and their achievements are not inferior to those of their predecessors. Therefore, if the greatest achievements in Belgian football history are It is very likely that the players were born in the current Belgian national team. However, since the current Belgian national team players are still in their careers, it is difficult to evaluate them. Therefore, when selecting the greatest players in Belgian history, let’s consider the current Belgian national team for the time being. National team players are excluded first.

In the history of Belgian football, the greatest player should be Sifford. He is a very rare talented player in the history of Belgian football. In 1983, at the age of 17, Sifford, who had just been selected for the Anderlecht team, scored a hat-trick against the Barcelona team led by Maradona and became a blockbuster. At the age of 18, Schiff was elected the best player of the Belgian League. In the 1986 World Cup, the 20-year-old Sifford became the core of the Belgian team and helped the team reach the semi-finals. At that time, he was to the Belgian national team what Maradona was to Argentina, with his excellent dribbling and organizational skills. , and sharp long-range shooting skills were an important reason why Belgium was able to sing all the way in that competition.

Unfortunately, in the semi-final match with Argentina, Belgium lost the game 0-2. Sifford failed to help Belgium go further, but its third place in the World Cup still created the history of Belgian football. In 1990, Sifford reached the peak of his career. He won the European Silver Ball that year (second in the European Golden Ball). This is the highest honor that a Belgian player has received in European football.

In the club, Schif's achievements are equally impressive. He has helped the team win 4 Belgian First Division championships and one Ligue 1 championship. However, due to Schif's He spent most of his time playing for relatively average teams, and only had one experience with a wealthy club. He briefly played for Inter Milan for one season, so he did not achieve much in the club, such as the Champions League and the UEFA Cup. He has never won any of these honors, which is why he is not well known to the majority of fans today.

Belgium is known as the Red Devils of Europe. In recent years, Belgium has been really strong and new stars have emerged. Many world-class stars have emerged, such as Hazard, Lukaku, De Bruyne, etc., making Belgium not inferior to any strong team. I think the most famous star in history is Sifford.

Since the low point in 2002, thanks to the effective youth training system and league system, the national team has continued to strengthen. You must know that around 2007, Belgium's ranking was similar to that of the Chinese team, hovering outside the 70th place. Today, Belgium once ranked first.

As the strength of the national team increases, the performance of the national team also gradually improves. In the 2014 World Cup, it entered the quarterfinals, in the 2016 European Cup, it entered the quarterfinals, and in the 2018 World Cup, it achieved a historic breakthrough. The best result - fourth place, one step further.

Belgium had its glory days in the 1980s. In the 1982 World Cup, it entered the second round of the group stage. In the 1986 World Cup, it lost to Maradona's Argentina team in the semi-finals and won the 1986 World Cup. Fourth place, reaching the top 16 of the 1990 World Cup.

Won the runner-up spot in the 1980 European Cup. Schiff was the absolute main force and core player of the Belgian team at that time.

Sifford is one of the greatest players in Belgian history. He can even be used as a midfielder.

In August 1983, Sifford played for the first team of Anderlecht for the first time. Facing Barcelona with Maradona in the warm-up match, Sifford completed a hat-trick and became famous.

Subsequently, Schiff secured his position as the main player in the league and was elected as the league's best player of the season. Since his parents were Italians who immigrated to Belgium, Belgium quickly completed the naturalization procedures for him and represented the Belgian team in the 1984 European Cup in France.

In the World Cup in Mexico two years later, the 20-year-old Schiff performed eye-catchingly, showing superstar temperament, scoring 2 goals in 7 games for the Belgian team. , 4:3 Soviet Union in the knockout round, Shifu performed well and scored a goal. In the match against Spain, the world was amazed by his talent. Belgium also achieved the best fourth place in history.

In the 1990 World Cup, Belgium entered the top 16 and lost to England 0:1. However, Sifford won the Silver Ball and was selected into the best team and performed well. After many moves in the league, he retired in 2000 due to injuries.

Just like other strong teams, Belgium has had highs and lows in its history. It even failed to enter the World Cup for many consecutive times and also performed poorly in the European Cup. However, the Belgian Football Association has learned from the painful experience. After making up his mind to change the status quo and resolutely implementing it, the current blowout and explosion of Belgian stars came, and the strength of the national team was greatly improved. With the right strategy, resolute execution, and persistence, you will always see results.

The Belgian team ranks first in the National Football Federation rankings, beating all the major powers. De Bruyne, Hazard, Lukaku and others in the team are all today's top stars. In 2022 The Belgian team will be one of the strong contenders for the championship in the World Cup, and Hazard and others are likely to create their own glory. However, the most famous star in the history of Belgian football is undoubtedly Celemans.

Salmans, who was born in 1957, became famous at a young age and led the Belgian youth team to win the 1977 European Youth Championship. He is tall and strong, with a height of 1.88 meters and a weight of 84 kilograms, but his speed, technique and flexibility are not bad, and his left foot is extremely threatening. He can break through from the wing or organize attacks in the middle. Simply put, it is a combination of Hazard and De Bruyne.

Salmans spent his career in the Belgian league, including 11 years with Club Brugge. In the 1980s, the Belgian team used him as the core of its offense and participated in two European Cups in 1980 and 1984. They reached the final in 1980, but lost to the German team. In the three World Cups in 1982, 1986 and 1990, Celemans led the team to the semi-finals once and qualified in the group twice. He scored 4 goals in his 16 World Cup games. Throughout his career, he represented the Belgian team in 96 appearances and scored 23 goals.

It can be said that Celemans created the first glorious period of the Belgian team. However, judging from the current strength of De Bruyne, Hazard and others, as long as they can lead the Belgian team to win a championship in the future, they are likely to surpass Celemans.

The most famous player in Belgium, perhaps young fans today have not heard of his name, the king of the European Red Devils, Sifu.

The greatest star in Belgian history is undoubtedly Sifford, who won the Belgian Footballer of the Year at the age of 18. So far, we can only see his 30-meter long shot in 1990 among the top 100 goals in the World Cup. I still clearly remember the commentary of the Korean players and Sifford fighting near the sideline when Belgium played the South Korean team. Sun Zhengping: "One pushed the opponent out of bounds, and the other pulled the opponent's sweatpants."

The Belgians are called the Red Devils of Europe. I watched football relatively late. I started watching the World Cup in 1994, and I only know Wilmots.

The greatest star in the history of the Belgian team can only be Celemans, no one. .

When we were children, we knew the Belgian team at the 12th World Cup. In the opening games of the World Cup, the previous champion team usually takes the field first. The first player to appear in the 12th World Cup is of course the last champion Argentina. The Argentine team, which had Maradona, Kempes and other stars, was defeated by the Belgian team from the very beginning and suffered a big upset. From this, the Argentina team remembered the little-known Belgian team. The best player in the Belgian team at that time was Celemans.

Sharp knife Boniek

Today's Belgium should be considered the real golden generation. Hazard and De Bruyne are considered top superstars. You must know that Belgian football in 2007 The world ranking is similar to that of the national football team, only three places higher than us (Belgium is ranked 70, the national football team is 73), but ten years later, Belgian football talent has exploded
