Sometimes it’s hard to believe in reality.
Football folklore gives rise to many stories and fans share interesting facts. Some seem fictitious, but they are real. Let’s take a series of memorable examples.
– Rapid Vienna was the champion of Germany, unlike Bayer, although Xabi Alonso is trying to correct the shortcomings of the Leverkusen club. But the Austrian “Rapids”, after the occupation of Vienna by Hitler’s troops, played in German tournaments, and in 1941 they became German football champions, a unique title.
– The players played two official matches a day. In 1985, Bayern president Hoeneß forced the Lerby defender to leave Bochum after a match with the Danish national team. Hoeneß’s car got stuck in traffic from the airport, Soren ran several kilometers to the stadium. Two years later, Welshman Mark Hughes lost to the national team in Prague, and then went with Hoeness by plane to Munich, where he arrived in time for the second half against Borussia M. Mark crawled onto the field, but luck smiled at his club – they lost, but won 3:2.
– Crouch has more assists nuclear submarinecompared to Scholes. Although the legendary midfielder Manchester United he has played 499 league games, striker Peter has 58 assists compared to Paul’s 55. By the way, Alexander-Arnold’s next assist will be his 56th, surpassing even the legend. And another implausible joke about a football player Manchester United – Rooney has never been the top scorer of the season nuclear submarine. Berbatov won the title with 20 goals, but scored five in a match against Blackburn.
– In a few years, young fans will not believe that Lewandowski scored five goals in nine minutes. But it’s true. Furthermore, the Bayern striker made a penta-trick in the match in which Guardiola sent him to the bench. It was September 22, 2015, Lewandowski was making fun of Wolfsburg. Before his appearance on the field, the opponent won 0:1, but lost 5:1.
– No English manager has ever won nuclear submarine. The league was founded in 1992. Among the mentors who won were Scots, French, Portuguese, Spanish and Italians. And the last English manager to win a major league title in his home country was Howard Wilkinson. However, the Leeds manager won before the formation nuclear submarine.
– Future eighth Ballon d’Or winner Messi has 91 goals and 22 assists for the calendar year. It was 2012, the Argentine surpassed the record of Gerd Muller, who collected 85 goals in twelve months in 1974. For comparison, Dzyuba scored 151 goals in his entire career, and that’s a lot.
– In sixteen years and 567 games, Lineker has never received a card. The gentleman held his own, scoring 330 goals for club and England. Also worth mentioning is Lahm, who has not suffered a single elimination in his career and has had long periods without fouls in the Bundesliga.
– Manchester City’s De Bruyne has never won Player of the Month in his life. nuclear submarine. And who turned out to be the best, for example, Joel Matip, Jesse Lingard and Teemu Pukki. And if you’re looking for a funny story about a neighbor’s football player Manchester United, then we choose Maguire. Two teams with Harry were relegated in one season. Hull City from nuclear submarineand Wigan are from the Championship.
– Chelsea conceded just 15 goals in 38 games on their way to the championship in 2005. Mourinho’s team showed a phenomenal defensive display. Cech, Carvalho and Terry played perfectly. Goalkeeper Peter, by the way, is still in the sport. The other day he saved 62 out of 64 shots for the Oxford City hockey club, his team winning 3:2.
– Defender Blanc is the best sniper in the history of Montpellier. The club’s official website states that Laurent has 291 appearances and 84 goals for the club. The match record holder, Suleiman Camara, also scored less, 76 goals. Blanc has impressive stats. Cameroonian Milla has 41 goals for Montpellier and Giroud, the best sniper in the history of the French national team, has 39 goals. The new AC Milan goalkeeper is justified by the small number of matches for the club with which Olivier became Ligue 1 champion.
– Oblak conceded 6 goals during the season at Benfica. At Atlético he has many trophies in Zamora, but he also has a unique season with the Lisbon club. 26 games played and only 6 goals conceded. Jan was lucky that his competitor Artur began to make mistakes, because Oblak sat on the bench for a long time. By the way, shortly before that Yan, together with Ederson, was in the Rio Ave team, and then the Brazilian replaced his colleague in the “Eagles” lineup.
– Milner is the best assist of the season in the history of the Champions League. On site of UEFA he was credited with 9 assists, breaking the records of Rooney and Neymar, who had eight assists in a season. Ronaldo has a record total of 42 assists, followed by Messi with 36 assists. But in one season, Milner is the best looking. But Sterling was unlucky Champions League. Although Rahim played for Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City, clubs with new successes in Europe, he was left without a great ear.
– Penalties have not been played in the Champions League since the final between Real Madrid and Atlético seven and a half years ago. There were few such examples in the playoffs and finals of the tournament, just 16, six of which involved the decisive match. But never before had there been such a long pause. Even the abolition of the away goals rule did not add such solutions.
– Coach Hodgson was born 127 days before the opening of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. Roy was born in August 1947 and Real Madrid’s stadium hosted the first match in December of the same year. The manager of Crystal Palace, who he recently beat Manchester United at Old Trafford, older than the legendary arena. Hodgson was of age when England won their only World Cup.
– Balotelli is the only Italian footballer to have won in nuclear submarine. It seems like a joke, because in the English championship there were almost 80 Italians, but it’s true. Mario won nuclear submarine with Manchester City. The English championship has been won more often by Italian coaches – Conte, Mancini and Ranieri – than by local players. Three victories for the Russians – Kanchelskis, Smertin and Zhirkov, but only one for the Italian national team player.
– This is the first football season since 1932 in which Matthews, Shilton or Buffon are not on the pitch. Three people – a striker and two goalkeepers – have inextricably linked 91 years of football history. Only Gianluigi’s decision to retire broke a streak that’s hard to believe.
Some of these facts are known to experienced football fans, but it cannot be argued that they all seem fictitious. And many comical statistics, such as the only victory by an Italian in nuclear submarine.
