1948, the head coach of the Hungarian national team, Sibos, created the 424 formation, which replaced the British WM formation which was popular for more than 20 years, namely the 3223 formation. This period happened to be the era when Hungarian football talents came forth in large numbers. The Hungarian vanguard line composed of Puskas, Hidegutti, Kocsis and Csibor is unstoppable, and the autumn wind swept across the European continent like leaves, keeping the unbeaten record of international competitions for five consecutive years. This is rare in the history of world football.
In European football, Hungary can't find an opponent, even the powerful English team can only bow. Kocsis and his teammates beat England, the cocky originator of football, with 1952, 1953 6: 3 away and 7: 1 at home respectively, which not only ended England's unbeaten record of 90 games, but also established Hungary's position as the big brother in European and even world football. Kocsis became a household name hero.
1952, Kocsis participated in the football match of the 5th1Olympic Games and won the gold medal in one fell swoop. From then on, the unbeaten record of 28 consecutive games began.
From 65438 to 0954, the fifth World Cup was held in Switzerland. This is the first World Cup held in Europe after World War II. Europe attaches great importance to it and is determined to win the Rimet Cup. Kocsis at the peak and all Hungarian players are duty-bound to undertake this task.
They have made a great success all the way through. In the group stage, Hungary beat South Korea 9-0, followed by West Germany 8-3. The situation is promising. Unfortunately, Herberger, the head coach of West Germany, framed Puskas, the captain of Hungarian team, so that the players kicked him and forced him to leave the stadium. Helberg thought that losing to Hungary in the group stage could avoid Brazil in the semi-final, but Hungary was taken in.
With Puskas unable to play due to injury, Kocsis and his teammates wholeheartedly played the matches against Brazil and Uruguay. In the match with Brazil, the whole team fought actively and broke through the opponent's door many times. In the end, the South American team was pulled down by a score of 4: 2 and won the semi-final right.
In the semi-final, Hungary met Uruguay, the most promising country to win the World Cup. Under the strong offensive of Kocsis and his teammates, Uruguay was defeated 2-4.
However, the final was defeated by West Germany 2: 3, and Puskas, Kocsis and Hungary at their peak all lost a golden opportunity. They regretted winning the runner-up.
However, in this tournament, Kocsis and Puskas were both rated as the best inside forwards in the world by virtue of their excellent performances.
1956165438+10, the Hungarian political situation was turbulent, and the clubs joined by Kocsis and Puskas just played in Spain. They decided to stay and went into exile instead of returning home. Kocsis first played football in a Swiss club and served as a coach. Kocsis signed a contract with Barcelona on 1957, but FIFA banned him from playing because of his transfer dispute in Hungary, so he didn't have much chance to play in his first year in Barcelona. But a year later, he lifted the ban. He is as young as a freed soldier and has become a rare scorer.
