Remember those beautiful shores will eventually bloom into the sea

Another year of the World Cup draws to a close, and the team I've loved for eight years has once again missed the stage of their dreams. In the early morning of that day, I saw that they finally lost the game. In an instant, the time seemed to be reversed. The difficult entry into the final in 2002, the shattered fairy tale in 2006, and the dream in 2008 were difficult to come true. I admit that they are too young, but their footwork is not as good as others. I also admit that youth always has to pay a certain price, but they can't stand why they have been working hard and have not been blessed by the god of luck.

Falling in love with this German team started in the summer of 2002. The World Cup without jet lag surprised Chinese fans and made many football illiterates like me fall in love with the most popular sport in the world. , there is only basketball in my world. Klose's hat-trick and beautiful somersault are my first memories of falling in love with this team, and since then, Kahn's roar has become a roaring beauty in my eyes. But still, I still can't escape the path of pseudo-fans. After the World Cup, my short football feast ended immediately.

Goodbye to them, still the World Cup. Perhaps pseudo-fans like me will only remember during the quadrennial global carnival that there is still a team in this world that I love so much. However, in my heart, the 2006 World Cup was so beautiful, although they still did not win the Hercules Cup, it gave me the warmest summer in my memory. That year, under Klinsmann's leadership, they fought on home soil. For the first time, I felt how proud it was to watch my beloved national team go forward. The early appearance of the group stage, the penalty shootout against Argentina, and Kahn's small note of disregarding the past, I thought they would go further than any team, because football always relies on team spirit to move forward. However, they were still blocked from the final by the Italian team. I looked at their young faces and the eyes that were desperately holding back tears, but I could only silently hope for the next four years. In fact, what they want is not just the proof of a world championship, but also the biggest reward for the fans who fight at home. It’s just that God will never give special favor to you because you give the most. When others admire the innate talent of Brazilians and Argentines, and praise that this is the real art of football, I can only say that only Germans are. They have been working hard for their dreams.

The European Cup two years later was the first time I, a pseudo-fan, watched a football match other than the World Cup. The days of watching football, people are slowly getting older. From the initial high school to university, I have left the campus and started to work during the European Cup. But the German team, only their games make me feel that working hard for a dream is a happy thing, even if you never know how long it takes to get happiness. That year, they still failed to do so, reaching the final but losing to Spain. In the summer of that year, I found this documentary, even though there were no subtitles, and I could not understand German, I just watched familiar people, watched my favorite German team in 2006, watched them at the beginning of the game Confident faces, watching the bus passing the surging crowd on the road, watching them step by step towards their dreams, watching the thousands of fans who still cheered for them after losing the final... I know, With these supports, they will one day go further.

When the time finally came to 2010, the distant African continent received unprecedented attention from the world, and what I paid attention to was still my favorites. Without Klinsmann, without Ballack, this young tank with an average age of only 25 made me worry and miss it. But they used the result of scoring 4 goals in the first game to tell the world that no one can stop the young people's footsteps. Although the group stage stumbled, it finally broke into the round of 16. If the victory over England was not surprising to me, it was an unexpected surprise to send Argentina away. It's just that human desires are always endless, and when you get one you want more. I watched Klose perform his beautiful somersault again, and watched Ballack on the sidelines unable to play but still looked happy and proud. I thought that this time you could finally take home the Cup of God that was 4 years late. To the captain who can't come to the competition, to the marksman who participated in the World Cup for the last time, and to Enke from the other side of heaven.

But luck still did not favor you. Spain, who had stumbled all the way in the group stage, suddenly acted like a god, blocking your way to the championship again. That morning, I didn't shed the tears that I did four years ago, even though my heart still ached. Some people say that youth always pays a price, and the German team will be the real king in the future. However, I do not want such comfort, because some people can no longer wait for the next four years. Klose, the man who first made me fall in love with football, his World Cup has become a swan song; and Ballack, who can't come, has no chance to charge as a player. The German team I love, they have brought me the most beautiful fairy tales, but they have not been able to harvest their own glory.

I once again pulled out this documentary that had been stored on the computer for two years. This time, the relevant subtitles can be found on the Internet. I look at the beauty of the past, and I don't know how long it will take to reap the joy of being a champion. However, two years later, four years later, I will continue my fan career for them, and the distant country where the daisies bloom will still be my concern forever. I hope that one day, you will finally be able to hold the Hercules Cup, which was "just deposited in another country for four years". For the original dream, please continue to move forward.
