HEXACAMPEÃO
Only a few days there are up to kick off the World Cup. The country is in green and yellow ("verde-amarelo"), the predominant colors of the Brazilian flag, decorated. The brewers take extra shifts. While many other industries have suffered from this event is more likely, for the beverage industry, the World Cup like a month extra.
Skol, the dominant beer brand brings, even a new beer can on the market: one that speaks to the consumer. Of course, not every piece is so special. You must hold out only enough units of analysis, then even one of those "latas falantes" This talking cans will be there.
For Brazil, the wind chill is beginning long before the official opening on 11 June 2010. As early as mid-May when the coach Carlos Dunga announced the squad there, "fire" under the roof. How can it only the young star Neymar, the eighteen year already as the new Pele is celebrated, let your home?
The coach has his reasons. The pressure to succeed at a World Cup is great. And for the Brazilian team great. Sure, Pele then in 1958, out of seventeen-year-old, Brazil, for the first title. At that time. Today, Brazil is a five time world champion ("Pentacampeão"). And 190 million Brazilians expect track number six ("Hexacampeão"). Dealing with that pressure needs experience. Dunga says.
Biting sarcasm is not long in coming. Here in Campo Grande was a billboard, which even manages the national evening news ("Jornal Nacional") and so brings to nationwide fame. On it is, mutatis mutandis, to read: "Do it like Dunga. Let the finger of crack. "Also known in Portuguese" craque "the equally eminent experts (" crack ") and the drug.
this, one must know that Dunga made several advertising against drugs. What you must know about him is that he probably still can secretly fly dumplings, he has played 1993 to 1995 for the VfB Stuttgart.
His real name by the way Carlos Caetano Bledorn Verri, "from which one can see that he has German and Italian ancestors. Brazil, which professed a country of immigration.
The nickname was it missed by a skeptical uncle, who apparently did not believe that the boy would one day even become a normal body size. Dunga is in fact the name of one of Snow White's seven dwarfs. The Brothers Grimm saw no need to give them names. Walt Disney already. Dunga is the one who does not wear a beard, does not speak and has big ears.
Dunga, intended as an interim solution on the coach seat. Now for almost 4 years. Under his leadership, the Brazilian team, the "Seleção" has lost 57 straight games times 5th This gives respect in a country with more than 100 million football experts.
Even when President Lula, which receives about two weeks before the World Cup team in Brasília, greeted each player individually, hugging and line with their wishes and advice. This is not just for show - elections or no - there's more. Football is a game even in Brazil, but a game of life. Strategien, die im Fußball zu sportlichem Erfolg führen, greifen oft auch im »richtigen« Leben.
Selbst in der Musik. Luis, mein Cavaquinho-Lehrer, ein Anhänger des Traditionsclubs Flamengo aus Rio de Janeiro, also ein »Flamenguista«, bemüht regelmäßig Bilder aus dem Fußball, um etwa die Funktion bestimmter Akkorde zu illustrieren.
Brasilien ist eine Großmacht im Fußball. Und das, obwohl vor dem ersten Triumpf eine traumatische Niederlage stand. 1950. Fußballweltmeisterschaft im eigenen Land. Die erste nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg. Ganze 13 Mannschaften nehmen in part: 6 from Europe, 5 from South America, to Mexico and the United States. While Europe is still scarred by war, Brazil can draw on a wide range of talent with game experience. Brazil is also why - together with Britain - a clear favorite for the title.
However, England lost both the game against the United States so well against Spain and must return home prematurely. So, Make way for Brazil, one would agree. Until the finale is so. Then the crucial match against Uruguay, the first world champion in the early history of the 1930 football World Cup for men. The Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, then noch Hauptstadt Brasiliens, droht mit knapp 200.000 Besuchern aus allen Nähten zu platzen. Der Gegner: jenes winzige Land südlich von Brasilien, nicht mal halb so groß wie Mato Grosso do Sul. David gegen Goliath. Goliath unterliegt mit 1:2. Ein Land unter Schock. Augenzeugen berichten, dass noch Tage nach dem Spiel eine gespenstische Ruhe in Rio de Janeiro herrscht.
Zwei Jahre vergehen, bis die brasilianische Nationalmannschaft es wieder wagt, zu einem Spiel anzutreten. Und auch dann nur in neuen Farben. Bis dahin hatte Brasilien in weißen Trikots gespielt. Dieses Symbol der Schmach wird abgestreift und durch blau und gelb, zwei Farben aus der brasilianischen Flagge ersetzt. Und so ist es bis today. Unless it goes against Sweden, which uses the same color combination.
And it should go to Sweden. Even in Sweden. 1958th Four years earlier, in Switzerland, for Brazil in the quarter-finals. Terminus of Hungary, the subsequent final opponent of the German team. Eight years after the trauma of 1950 already 16 teams enter. 12 from Europe, 4 from Latin America. creates holders Germany made it to the semi-final against Sweden, has to give the hosts defeated clearly with 1:3.
In the final, Sweden meets Brazil. There may Sweden zuerst jubeln, bevor Brasilien viermal zuschlägt. Am Ende gewinnt Brasilien mit 5:2, mit zwei Toren des jungen Pelé, der noch zwei weitere Weltmeisterschaften gewinnen sollte – 1962 in Chile sowie 1970 in Mexiko. Die Mannschaft von 1970 gilt bis heute als das beste Team aller Zeiten. Pelés dritter Titelgewinn. Im Finale, dem ersten, bei dem zwei ehemalige Weltmeister aufeinandertreffen, schlägt Brasilien Italien deutlich mit 4:1. Die deutsche Mannschaft hat dabei durchaus Anteil an Brasiliens Triumpf, zwingt sie doch im Halbfinale Italien in eine kräftezehrende Verlängerung – und das in der dünnen Luft von Mexico City in 2.300 m über dem Meeresspiegel.
Die Years from 1958 to 1970 still retrospect as the golden era ("Era de Ouro") called. For it followed immediately by a 24-year World Cup. 1974 in Germany: defeat in the semi-final against Holland. Argentina 1978: retired to the neighbors and arch rivals Argentina. Spain 1982: magic football, but not very effective, losing to Italy. 1986 in Mexico: the penalty shoot-out against France. 1990 in Italy: From the back against Argentina, the later final opponents of the German team. With the support of countless Brazilian fans had to win the German team is simple. Andi Brehme, 85 Minutes from the penalty spot. We like to remember.
Then in 1994 in the USA. Finally. Brazil again in the final against Italy. Scoreless after 120 minutes. Captain Dunga turns the last penalty for Brazil, Roberto Biaggio before the ball shoots into the sky over Los Angeles. Brazil is "Tetracampeão."
1998 will be my "most personal" WM. Our daughter is the 9.7.1998, three days before the World Cup final against Brazil, France, see the light of the world. But it is obviously not ready. Then stop three days later when the mother gets the World Cup victory extremely excited. Ronaldo Zidane but instead makes the game and scored two of the three goals for France.
had not only missed Brazil the fifth title - we had to wait another 6 days until we finally were allowed to keep our daughter in his hands.
by 2002, the World Cup for the first time in history taking place in two countries - Japan and South Korea. After 7 wins, Brazil is in the final. The German team had actually expected much earlier back in the homeland. But lo and behold, suddenly and unexpectedly Rud Voeller is with his boys in the final. The thanks goes to this point also to the host South Korea, which only Italy and then also from Spain Turnier warfen. Beinahe hätten sie im Halbfinale auch noch Deutschland besiegt, hätte nicht Michael Ballack das Siegtor erzielt. Und das zu einem Zeitpunkt, da er bereits wusste, dass er wegen der eben erhaltenen gelben Karte im Finale nicht würde dabei sein können.
So also das erste Aufeinandertreffen von Deutschland und Brasilien bei einer Fußball-WM. Wäre es mit Ballack anders gelaufen? Wer weiß. So aber holte Ronaldo nach, was er vier Jahre zuvor schuldig geblieben war: den fünften Titel (»Pentacampeão«).
2006 in Deutschland. Es sollte für Brasilien eine der schlechteren werden. Bereits in the quarter-finals ending the winning streak. Again against France. For the first time since 1990 it is not Brazil in the semifinals.
So now 2010th The pressure to succeed is unimaginably vast. You will have to finish the sixth star jersey again. Brazil, currently economic and foreign policy on track. largely by the economic crisis, completely unaffected by the financial crisis, economic growth has already achieved another 6%. President enjoys an approval at home ¬ ¬ munge incredible rate of 76% and has made a success in foreign policy, most recently the agreement with Turkey and Iran in the so-called Nuclear issue, although this - as expected - by the Americans played down, is even torn verbal. The sixth world title ("Hexacampeão") would be against this background it were the icing on the cake.
mixed in the desire but also anxious skepticism. But is it good, say the savvy in the Brazilian World Cup history. Because whenever the Seleção was celebrated prematurely as the secure world champion, it was in the end, nothing. That was in 1998 so, and in 2006. So now worried tendons. The best conditions for the "Hexacampeão."
added In the discussion about the player selection is now turned on and President Lula himself. In an interview, he came to excuse coach Dunga and criticized the manner of his countrymen to do his coach ("mania de querer ser técnico"). He recalled that Brazil several times in the past mustered a team that needed to be perfect, but then nothing gained. This happened in 1982 and 1986. He also promises to keep track of all matches of the Brazilian team on the TV and perform other tasks during this time. Then nothing more can go wrong!
PS: Today is the first Commercial for the "talking box" there. And the joke is - of course - at the expense of Lieblingsrvalen Argentina. But see for yourself:
