Didier Drogba is undoubtedly one of the greatest players in world football. This young man from C? te d 'Ivoire was elected as the "African Footballer of the Year" in 20xx. He never forgot to call for peace with the charm of football and impressed the world again and again with his unique brave actions.
20xx65438+February 65438+March, Drogba represented Galatasaray in the Turkish Football Super League, which coincided with the death of former South African President nelson mandela. In the middle of the game, Drogba suddenly took off his jersey and revealed a cultural shirt with Mandela printed on it, which read: "Thank you, Mandela!" " "His actions clearly violated the FIFA's stipulation that individuals are forbidden to express their political inclinations without authorization during the competition". Subsequently, the Disciplinary Committee of the Turkish Football Association announced that Drogba was given a warning. Drogba has thus become the only star in the world who bravely salutes and mourns Mandela on the court. In response, Drogba responded: "For the sake of peace, I don't care how severely punished I am. I must bid farewell to and mourn this old man who fought for the abolition of racial discrimination all his life in my own way to express my highest respect for him. "
This is not the first time Drogba has made a move. 20xx65438+1On October 8th, Didier Drogba's national team of C? te d 'Ivoire beat Sudan 3-/kloc-0-0 in the final group match of the World Cup qualifiers and won the World Cup tickets. Drogba, as the captain, is well aware that the motherland is in a civil war caused by mutiny. Therefore, he specially invited the cameraman of the national television station of C? te d 'Ivoire to the dressing room, suddenly knelt down in front of the camera, picked up the microphone and said affectionately, "Our country is suffering from an unprecedented disaster. Please forgive and give to each other. For the sake of national interests and people's happiness, sit at the negotiating table again. As long as everyone can come up with the sincerity to solve the problem, I believe everything will get better! " When the teammates saw it, they all knelt down. Subsequently, this video was repeatedly played by major TV stations in C? te d 'Ivoire, which deeply shocked the people of the whole country.
At the beginning of 20xx, President Gbagbo of C? te d 'Ivoire attended the ceremony of awarding Drogba the 20xx African Footballer of the Year. After the ceremony, Drogba made a request to Gbagbo: "I hope that in your special capacity, you can arrange the next Africa Cup preliminaries in Bourget, which was occupied by rebels. This is the best opportunity for reconciliation and should not be missed. " Drogba's unusual request made Gbagbo wonder how to answer it. Although Gbagbo had signed an armistice agreement with rebel leader Soro at that time, the two sides were still on high alert. Seeing the president hesitating, Drogba added: "If you can take the opportunity to be nice to the rebels, it will be a hundred times or even a thousand times stronger than how many political words you use." In the end, Gbagbo agreed to his special request.
20xx In July, Drogba led C? te d 'Ivoire and Madagascar to play at Bourget Stadium as scheduled. Before the game, Drogba paid a personal visit to rebel leader Solo and presented the other side with a pair of sneakers embroidered with Solo's name. There is an expectation on the shoes: unite for peace.
On the day of the competition, 200 government troops came to the Bourget Stadium, which is still in the "enemy-occupied area". At first, these soldiers were very nervous, but they soon put all their enthusiasm into the fierce competition. The rebels also put down their hostility, and together with their former opponents, cheered for the wonderful skills of both players.
In the end, C? te d 'Ivoire defeated Madagascar 5-0. Drogba burst into tears when he stood in the center of Bourget Stadium and sang the national anthem of C? te d 'Ivoire with the audience. He later recalled: "It was an exciting scene. When people sing the national anthem, I see tears in their eyes. At that moment, there were no enemies, only compatriots, which made me more convinced of the charm of football. "
The biggest circulation newspapers in C? te d 'Ivoire, Pok Oi Morning Post and Ivory Evening News, both reported this special football match on the front page, and both used the same title: Victory of football charm-five goals to soothe the pain of five-year war.
A few days ago, Drogba said in an interview with the media: "Although the road to peace is still difficult, I have always been optimistic about calling for peace with the charm of football."
Inspirational stories about football II. The inspirational growth experience of football genius ronaldinho.
Cute buck teeth and skillful ball skills may be the impression many fans have on Ronaldinho. Nowadays, Ronaldinho is getting older and his state is greatly declining, so that people gradually forget this post-80 s football superstar. Therefore, it is necessary to review Ronaldinho's brilliant achievements in this article: 20xx and 20xx won the World Footballer of the Year for two consecutive years; In 20xx, he was elected European Footballer of the Year, and in the same year he became the best player of the first International Professional Footballers Association.
Ronaldinho's football career is definitely a classic post-80s inspirational model:1980 March 2 1 Ronaldinho was born in Porto-Laigret, Brazil, a family with a strong football tradition. Like many Brazilian international players, Ronaldinho's family has an unusual passion for football. My father is a football player, my mother is a fan, and my brother is also a football player. Under the influence of his family, Ronaldinho began to contact football since he was a child. He even played football with his dog. Ronaldinho said: "As soon as my mother arrived on Sunday, she took her own family lunch to the stadium to enjoy football with us. When I was a child, I always felt that I was a happy child. " Ronaldinho's happiest life every day is playing football in the football field. From shanty towns in slums to football fields is Ronaldinho's most frequent route.
My childhood family was not rich. When his father Joao was 8 years old, his mother took on the burden of family life. "Overnight, we all don't know what to do. The pillar of our family is gone and we can't see the future. At this time, my brother woke me up. He said that it is my responsibility to make life at home better. " Ronaldinho, who grew up overnight, lost his temper completely He no longer shows off his footwork by cleverness, but has a sense of crisis to practice every technical link well. At this time, Ronaldinho was eager to follow in the footsteps of his brother Roberto assis. His brother played an important role in the gremio team in Porto-Leggley region and was successfully selected for the Brazilian national team.
The World Youth Championship held in Egypt from 65438 to 0997 became a stage for Ronaldinho to shine. Ronaldinho's name made headlines, and he made his debut in that cup. In the final, they beat Ghana 2-/kloc-0-. Ronaldinho, who scored seven goals in this tournament, was named the best player and became the top scorer of the champion team, which was the first best in his football career. His name was known to the world for a time, and this success opened a new chapter in Ronaldinho's career. After Ronaldo, Ronaldinho is regarded as another Brazilian star who stands out. Ronaldinho recalled: "This honor made me more confident and opened my door to the top football clubs in the world."
From 65438 to 0998, Ronaldinho signed the first contract with gremio. He took a successful first step, which soon won him a place in the national team. When Ronaldinho entered the Brazilian national team and scored his first goal, his celebration action was to point to the sky and look up for a long time, as if to tell his father that your dream has finally come true. Since then, every time Ronaldinho points to the sky after scoring a goal, it means that he will dedicate the goal to his father.
Ronaldinho's eye-catching performance in international competitions has attracted the attention of many European giants. Unlike many well-known Brazilian international players who started from low-level or minor leagues in Europe, Ronaldinho has only played for four teams: gremio, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and AC Milan. When he was in gremio, he was compared with Bailey. Diego maradona said of Ronaldinho: Some people say that Ronaldinho is more flexible than Bailey, more agile than Zico and more pragmatic than Denilson. It is natural that everyone has his own opinion on this kind of thing. However, no one can deny Ronaldinho's genius and hard work. Ronaldinho's superb skills have been praised by many predecessors. Diego maradona called Ronaldinho a "football artist".
On July 20xx 19, Ronaldinho joined Barcelona for $28 million. When laporta accompanied him to the stadium, about 30,000 fans cheered for this long-admired idol in the stands, and the jerseys with Ronaldinho's name printed on them sold out on the same day. Subsequently, Ronaldinho was like a duck to water in this top European giant, and the Brazilians began to exert their fists on this fertile football field. His arrival has also injected new vitality into the morbid Barcelona. In the game against Seville, Ronaldinho took the ball from the backcourt until he scored a goal 25 meters away from the gate, which was his debut in La Liga. Ronaldinho scored a hat-trick in the UEFA Cup and beat Slovakia's Pukhov 8-0. Ronaldinho helped Barcelona 17 league games in the first season, and finally won the runner-up in the league and got the chance to advance directly to the Champions League.
From 2006, the long-term nightclub life led to a sharp decline, until the 09- 10 season finally began to recover, 1 1 season performed bravely and returned to the Brazilian national team. We expect Ronaldinho to give us more surprises on the court.

"lofty" bitter child
In the Great Leap Forward 1958, Xu Jiayin was born in a village in Taikang County, Zhoukou, Henan Province. This place is notoriously poor, and people really have no choice but to go out and beg. Xu Jiayin's mother died when he was/kloc-0. His grandmother and father raised him with chaff and tried their best to make him study. At that time, the primary school was extremely simple, and the desks were long tables made of loess rammed. Without a stool, Xu Jiayin could only squat down to listen to lectures and do homework until high school. Xu Jiayin's academic performance has been very good, but according to his classmates' memories, he is very lofty in the village, likes painting and plays with electrical appliances alone. He didn't attend painting class all day, and even drew a sketch for his grandmother. Everything is self-taught, which makes him somewhat unsociable among a group of rural children.
/kloc-When he was 0/6 years old, Xu Jiayin wanted to find a job and earn some money for his family. At that time, the only way he could think of was to try to pull some industrial and agricultural raw materials with the most primitive wheeled vehicles and sell them over the mountains. People who went with them recalled that Xu Jiayin ran all the way down the mountain because of his inexperience, and as a result, he went belly-up.
A few years after graduating from high school, Xu Jiayin tried many ways to leave the countryside. After all kinds of methods failed, he waited for the only chance to change his fate-to resume the college entrance examination.
From 65438 to 0978, Xu Jiayin was admitted to Wuhan Institute of Iron and Steel (now Wuhan University of Science and Technology) with the top three grades in Zhoukou City, and chose the metallurgical department with difficult employment. At that time, the idea in my mind was "at least I can be a steel worker and I won't go back to the countryside."
1982, graduated from Xu Jiayin University, and was assigned to Wuyang Iron and Steel Plant in Henan Province, which, in his view, is another big rural area. After staying in Wuyang for 10 years, Xu Jiayin resolutely rode the tide of "going to sea" and arrived in Shenzhen, changing from a department-level cadre to a wage earner. In this new city, he experienced a life of separation between husband and wife, and then it runs in the family with his family. After three years of hard work, he first came into contact with real estate. Soon, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of helping his boss explore the Guangzhou market and quickly opened the situation with the strategy of "small area and low price". A project earned the boss more than 200 million yuan, and his monthly salary was only more than 3,000 yuan.
From 65438 to 0997, Xu Jiayin set up another hill and founded Evergrande Group.
Real estate developers with "inflated ambitions"
I'm afraid it will take a few minutes to read all the titles of Xu Jiayin now, but in the eyes of many people, he is a real estate businessman. This identity has complicated meanings in China today.
The expansion history of Evergrande is synchronized with the explosive development history of China real estate market in the past 10. Like many bosses, Xu Jiayin's first bucket of gold came from gambling. Evergrande's first project is to develop the land in pesticide plant, Guangzhou. After seeing countless places, Xu Jiayin finally put his treasure on this treasure land. He continued the previous style of "fast, fast, fast", quickly opened the market and quickly withdrew funds. 1999, Evergrande Real Estate squeezed into the top ten housing enterprises in Guangzhou.
Since 20xx, the real estate industry in China has staged a jaw-dropping "inflation movement". Xu Jiayin also led Evergrande to start round after round of horse racing, and at the same time frantically hoarded land, making quick production and quick sales. In 20xx years, the amount of land owned by Evergrande has been one of the best in China. Xu Jiayin accelerated its expansion and began to raise funds from the international capital market. At the beginning of 20xx, Evergrande launched its Hong Kong listing plan for the first time, with an estimated financing of USD 6543.8+RMB 50 million. I didn't expect to be stopped by the sudden financial crisis when I got half the order. The investor's quotation was far lower than expected, and the listing plan ran aground. This directly leads to the huge capital gap of Evergrande Real Estate. With the increase of government regulation, Evergrande has fallen into a situation of internal troubles and foreign invasion. Among several solutions, Xu Jiayin chose the most difficult one: increasing capital and shares. According to media reports, Xu Jiayin lived in Hong Kong for three months, and ate and played cards with Chow Tai Fook Chairman Zheng Yutong every week, including "hoeing the ground" and "fighting the landlord", sometimes staying up all night. Zheng Yutong, who is in his 80s, and Xu Jiayin, who has just turned 50, soon became friends. As it turns out, these cards may be the key to saving Heng from danger.
A year later, Xu Jiayin, who had weathered the storm, went public in Hong Kong again. It was the $600 million capital invested by investors and institutions such as Zheng Yutong that laid the foundation for him. In June of the same year 165438+ 10, Evergrande successfully went public and became the largest private real estate company in China at that time with a market value of HK$ 70.5 billion. Xu Jiayin also became the richest man in China.
Football boss who "spends money first, then makes money"
Some people say that the victory of Evergrande Club was smashed by Xu Jiayin with money; Others say that Xu Jiayin just did the simplest thing: let professional players play football.
Three and a half years ago, Evergrande bought the Guangzhou team, which was fined for match-fixing, for 654.38 billion yuan, and changed its name to Evergrande. At that time, Xu Jiayin released grandiloquence: win the AFC Champions League within three to five years. In the public's ears, this is more like a mockery of the mired football in China, but in the eyes of business people, it is similar to the bargain-hunting in the stock market.
Xu Jiayin doesn't know football, which even the people inside Evergrande don't deny. But in their view, the strength of boss Xu is that he can choose people.
This is not the first time that Xu Jiayin has played sports. In 20xx, Xu Jiayin spent 5 million yuan to hire his idol Lang Ping as the head coach, and also hired several national players. In the end, Evergrande Women's Volleyball Team easily won the women's volleyball League A and B championship. However, volleyball cannot be compared with football. Knowing this, Xu Jiayin invested much more real money than volleyball, and burned 50 million yuan just to hold the opening ceremony of the Super League.
An industry insider told reporters: "The key to burning money in football is to see where the money is used." Xu Jiayin, who doesn't know football, knows how to spend money. In March, 20xx, Evergrande, which just changed hands, began to recruit, buy foreign aid and recruit international players. Several sky-high prices were offered one after another, which shocked the whole football in China: RMB 6 million signed Gao Lin, US$ 3.5 million bought Muric, US$ 6.5438+million attracted Kangka, hired Lippi coach, and even earned an annual salary of Euro6.5438+million, ranking third in the world. Moreover, in 20xx, Xu Jiayin gave the team a great temptation, winning a Super League game and rewarding 5 million yuan.
The operation mode of Evergrande Club has a distinctive Xu Jiayin style: strict management and clear rewards and punishments. In the 20xx Super League, Xu Jiayin's original plan was "505": winning a prize of 5 million yuan, losing a fine of 5 million yuan, and not rewarding a draw. Persuaded by others, he changed it to "5 13": winning 5 million, winning 1 10,000 and losing 3 million. Gao Lin fouled impulsively on the court. Xu Jiayin, who was watching the live broadcast, immediately called the person in charge of the club and demanded that Gao Lin be fined 30,000-65,438+10,000 yuan according to the regulations.
Xu Jiayin has brought the wolf nature of enterprise management to Evergrande Football. Even though some colleagues described Evergrande's future as "going to heaven and going to hell", his concept of "spending money first, then making money" has never changed.
Who made who?
Xu Jiayin made China football and China football made Xu Jiayin.
There is no doubt about the first half of the sentence: Evergrande AFC Champions League gave China football a shot in the arm after more than ten years of depression. Moreover, Lippi's advanced coaching concept, professional technology and professionalism of foreign aid can benefit China football. For China football, which is struggling in the quagmire, Evergrande model may not be the best solution, but it is definitely commendable.
The second half of the sentence implies some contrition: Is investing in football just a marketing tool for Xu Jiayin? Evergrande Football, which has been built with a huge sum of money for more than three years, has sent Xu Jiayin and Evergrande Group to the peak of their reputation. Even he himself said, "We paid Guangdong Sports Station a broadcast fee of 40,000 yuan for 90 minutes of brand exposure ... You know, CCTV's advertisements cost 6.5438+0.5 million yuan per second, and I only got so much return with a little money. Do you think this investment is worth it? " Xu Jiayin, who doesn't know football, isn't it "the meaning of drunkenness is not the ball"?
"The outside world has a certain degree of misunderstanding about him." A management person of Evergrande told reporters, "They always ask him, what is your original intention of playing football? Is it to expand the brand? Yes, Evergrande has gained the most from the brand so far, but I think this is the result. The original intention of doing things and what you actually get are two concepts. His original intention of playing football is simple. Football in China is very poor. He weighed it from a businessman's point of view, thought he could invest, did it, and then developed the brand value. It's that simple. "
