Playing forward to win the Golden Boot of the European Cup, playing in the midfield and entering the World Cup best team, genius strength is greater than fame

My friend asked to talk about Brolin, a Swedish genius who can reach the top level whether playing forward or playing in the midfield.

Thomas Brolin was born on November 29, 1969 in Hudiskava, Sweden. A local amateur club called Nesvikens is where Brolin’s dream of football began. He played in the amateur league as early as the age of fourteen or fifteen. In this stage, Brolin was the main leader. Not only does he have solid shooting skills, he can also make extraordinary breakthroughs with his skilled footwork skills. Those amateur players who are much older than Brolin can't defend him at all. Not long after, Brolin made his reputation and was highly expected by the entire Swedish football world.

Supernova of this level cannot be retained by amateur clubs. A few years later, Brolin not only stepped on the stage of the professional league, but also knocked on the door of the national team and was selected for the Swedish team's squad in the 1990 Italian World Cup. Although the overall performance of the Swedish team was not good, they returned home just after the group stage. But Brolin's personal performance is remarkable. When facing the star-studded Samba Legion, Brolin scored a stunning goal.

After the World Cup, Brolin received many transfer invitations. The Swedish genius thought about it over and over again and finally chose Parma to fight side by side with Meli. The pair cooperated tacitly, helped Parma win many games and won the Italian Cup in the 1991-92 season.

The Serie A League at that time was recognized as the No. 1 league in the world. If Brolin can gain a foothold in the Serie A, he will naturally be able to determine the main seat in the Swedish national team. In the 1992 European Cup, Brolin was the unstoppable main striker in Sweden. As for his forward partner, it is either Dahling or Kennett Anderson.

Under Brolin's leadership, the Swedish team showed great competitiveness. In the first two rounds of the group stage, the team first drew with France and then defeated Denmark. As long as they scored a draw in the last round of the group stage, they could be qualified for qualifying. However, Sweden's opponent England had to win because of his poor record in the first two rounds.

Against this background, England launched a fierce attack from the opening game, with David Pratt scoring. Even so, Brolin showed no anxiety. Under his leadership, the Swedish team played extremely patiently. When Sweden equalized the score through a corner kick, Brolin stood up in person. He played a series of wonderful cooperation with his teammates in the frontcourt, then entered the penalty area and scored a goal, sending the Three Lions back to his hometown. After entering the knockout round, Sweden met the German team. Although Brolin broke through the German team's goal, there was indeed a clear gap in strength between the two sides, and Brolin could only accept the fate of being eliminated by the German team.

After the entire European Cup, Brolin, who played as a striker, scored 3 goals, and joined Borgkamp and Riddle, sharing the glory of the European Cup Golden Boot. After the European Cup, Brolin continued to play for Parma. However, the arrival of Colombia striker Asprila has changed Brolin's position on the field. He was originally the main striker, but sometimes he would retreat to the midfield and sometimes move to the wing. Fortunately, he is versatile and has survived the difficult period of transformation.

It is this experience that provides the Swedish national team with a new way of employing people. By the 1994 World Cup in the United States, Brolin no longer served as a striker, but retreated to the midfield to undertake organizational tasks. As for the Swedish front line, Dahlin and Kennett Anderson charged. The adjustment of

position will naturally affect Brolin's goal efficiency. If you want to compete for the Golden Boot, it is impossible to complete. However, he can still perform phenomenally when playing in the midfield. The Swedish team entered the semi-finals under his leadership, and he himself was selected for the best team in the World Cup.

played forward and won the Golden Boot of the European Cup, and played in the midfield and entered the World Cup best team. Brolin's experience is enough to prove his talent. At that time, no matter how harsh the media was, they would admit that Brolin was an absolute green genius and that the sky was his limit.

However, just when Brolin was so arrogant, injuries came to him. The injury of ankle fracture has kept the Swedish genius away from the court for half a year. When he recovered from injury, he felt like he had changed his body, and he could no longer find the feeling of his peak game. He died soon...

Seeing this, a friend may ask: Brolin was only twenty-five or six years old, and his physical recovery ability was quite strong. Although the ankle fracture is serious, it will not cause a player of this age to die, right?

In fact, injuries can only be considered part of the reason for destroying Brolin, and lack of self-discipline is Brolin's unsolvable problem. This Swedish genius has gained weight significantly during his recovery period and has gained a lot of weight, which will naturally affect his competitive state.

If other professional players encounter this situation, they will naturally work hard to lose weight. For professional players, losing weight is not a problem as long as they are not suffering from a strange disease. However, after Brolin returned from injury, he still couldn't control his body shape, so his competitive state became worse and worse. Not long after, Parma could no longer bear it and dealt with Brolin to Leeds United.

However, Brolin's problem cannot be solved by changing teams. After he came to the Premier League, he still gained weight significantly. What's worse is that at this stage, Brolin gradually lost his energy and even his defense was not very active.

Leeds had thought of many ways, but they could not activate Brolin, so they simply terminated the contract with the Swedish genius. The Crystal Palace team seemed to have not figured out the situation, and dared to provide Brolin with a contract. As a result, Brolin's performance during his time at Crystal Palace was a mess...

There are few clubs who are willing to believe Brolin. This Swedish genius made the decision to hang up his boots when he was less than 30 years old.

Looking at Brolin's career as a player, his strength is unquestionable. At his peak, he was definitely a top player. Unfortunately, his peak period was a little shorter, and his Swedish national team and Parma Club are not very influential, and there is a clear gap compared to teams such as Brazil and Milan. This directly led to Brolin's failure to gain a reputation comparable to his strength, and his strength is greater than his reputation. Many young fans of contemporary times have heard of the deeds of Skirachi and Dino Baggio, but have never heard of Brolin's name...

I have to say that this is a huge regret.
