Xinhua News Agency, London, February 12 (Reporter Prince Jiang) Gordon Banks, the legendary goalkeeper of England and the champion of the 1966world Cup, died on the 12th at the age of 81.

Stoke City Football Club, which banks once worked for, released the news of his death on the official website. It was revealed that banks “passed away peacefully” at night “.

Banks, born in Sheffield, made 73 appearances on behalf of England and was awarded the best goalkeeper of the year by FIFA six times. He participated in all England’s matches in the 1966world Cup, including the final of defeating Germany by 4:2. However, what impressed him most was the magical rescue in the game against Brazil in the 1970 World Cup. At that time, the Brazilian team’s yayilzenho passed down at the bottom, and the ball king Bailey jumped up to heading in, banks jumped out of the ball incredibly. This is recognized as one of the best saves in the world. After the fighting action was completed, banks and the doorpost crashed together. Bailey, who thought the ball had entered the net, was surprised with his head.

Bobby Charlton, who was also a member of the 1966 World Cup champion, expressed his condolences on the death of banks, saying that he was “proud” of having such teammates and said, although I watched the video of that game many times later, I still didn’t know how banks “caught Bailey’s header”.

Banks was the fourth player to die in the starting lineup of England in the 1966 World Cup final.

Banks once played for Leicester City club for 8 years, joined Stoke City in 1964and led the team to win the League Cup title in 1972, which was the biggest honor in Stoke City’s history. In 1973, he retired after losing his right eye in a car accident. In 2015, Stoke City set up a statue for him outside the stadium to commemorate his contribution to the team.

Xinhua News Agency, Nanning, March 21 (Reporter Wei Hua, Ma Bangjie) after losing to Thailand at 0:1 in the first game of China Cup on the 21st, chinese team coach Cannavaro still affirmed the performance of several young players in the team and believed that Chinese football should plan for long-term development.

In this campaign, Cannavaro sent two young players, Wei Shihao and Gao Zhun wing, in the starting line-up. Coach Ka said that the two players did bring surprises.

He said: “I have said before that I have recruited many players who performed well in the first two rounds of the league, which is a reward for them. Despite the results of the game, we still showed some good things during the game, especially the performance of individual young players, such as Gao Zhili and Wei Shihao.”

In the whole game, the Chinese team was unable to break the door under the condition that the possession percentage was the best. On the contrary, the Thai team frequently played high-quality counterattacks. Summing up the reasons for losing the game, Cannavaro said: “The four midfield players we started were all players with outstanding skills, but due to the constraints of the field conditions, many of them did not finish the game, this reduces our rate. In addition, the participation of the two side guards in the attack is not enough.”

“But our defense line did a good job in organizing attacks today. Even when we were behind, we didn’t blindly open our feet, but launched attacks slowly from the back court.” Cannavaro said.

Cannavaro stressed again that no coach can help a team make disruptive changes in a short time. “Anyway, I am can’t do it. Indeed, we need a long-term plan, not just to enter the World Cup as the goal. Personally, I think it is necessary to create a system. Even after a coach leaves, his successor can still follow this system.”

Cannavaro believes that China now has the ability to invite the best coach in the world, but in his opinion, this is not the most important. He said: “We need long-term plans and systems. Modern players need physical quality, technical ability and technical and tactical thinking. No one can be lost. I had this idea when I watched the Chinese team playing the Asian Cup on the spot this year, and today I confirmed this idea again.”
