The German Euro Cup It started on Friday and this 2024 will be remembered more by true football lovers. Not only because of the game to be seen, but because it will leave behind a special championship where great legends from the world of sports have a ‘last dance’.
On a practical level, only one hundred percent real can be considered Toni Kroos. At 34 years old and still in top form, the midfielder decided to don the Mannschaft shirt again for the last time. And what better event than a Euro Cup in front of your whole country, probably thought the player of Real Madrid, who announced his farewell to the world of football a few weeks ago.
The sad declaration of intentions that broke the hearts of those who love this sport is just the beginning. Many of the best players of this century have said goodbye to Germany, that they have passed their sweetest stage on an individual level but still have time to add to their country, although it is difficult, almost impossible, to imagine that they will be seen. to the next World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada two years from now.
Many are expected to send a classic message saying goodbye to international football, whether they are away or fall soon. They will make it look like legends. The clearest is certain Pepe (41 years old), the oldest of the participants and has the Euro Cup under his arm (2016) and Luka Modric (38 years old), who is always on the verge of success in Croatia. Incidentally, his colleagues like it Cristiano Ronaldo (39) or Ivan Perisic (35) they also need to put the ground in the middle, although the Portuguese still seems to be going strong and if he plays in another World Cup he will go down in history and go for it.
The Spanish accent also has its share of goodbyes. Either way, it won’t be bitter. Jesus Navas This is the last stronghold of that Chosen One who made an era. He won the World Cup and the European Championship, without Luis Aragonés, and now, at the age of 38 and with an indomitable spirit, he is the great captain and standard bearer of an entire country. Like this too Manuel Neuer, from the same fifth (38) for you. He seems ready to pass the baton to Ter Stegen, who will have to wait patiently for his turn to come. Even from the hostess of a certain Thomas Müller (34 years old) seems like he will never come back. Similar to Olivier Giroudtop scorer and idol of France and forget Benzema, who at 37 years old left European football and jumped to the United States.
These, and many others, are names that a few years ago inspired fear and respect. Today they continue to do so, but more so because of the weight of their history. But football is like that, fighting against time is impossible. But they can all rest assured because this Euro Cup itself is proof that the future is secure Lamine Yamal (16), Jamal Musiala (twenty-one), Jude Bellingham (20) and company, whose effect is expected to be such that they forget the bitterness of losing those who were the best, but now deserve to rest
