Jerman dan Spanyol,Siapa Juara Eropa 2008 ? -Germany and Spain,Who is European Champion 2008 ?

Akhirnya dua tim raksasa sepakbola Eropa dan dunia,Jerman dan Spanyol berhak memperebutkan mahkota juara Piala Eropa 2008 yang diselenggarakan di dua negara, Austria dan Swiss. Di semifinal, dua tim ini mengalahkan tim yang sebenarnya tidak diunggulkan. Bukannya menghadapi tim-tim macan seperti Belanda atau Portugal. Atau Italia atau Perancis, tapi Rusia dan Turki. Jerman memukul Turki 3-2 di Stadion St.Jacob Park di kota Basel,Swiss. Sedangkan Spanyol melipat Rusia 3-0 di Ernest Happel Stadium, Wina,Austria. Walaupun Turki pernah mencapai peringkat ketiga di Piala Dunia 2002,tapi secara struktural,Turki berada di kelas menengah sepakbola Eropa.Baik tim nasional maupun klub. Turki masih harus berjuang untuk menembus level atas sepakbola Eropa. Dan modal untuk itu ada. Sebab semakin banyaknya pemain Turki yang bermain di klub-klub besar Eropa,seperti Inggris,Spanyol,Italia,Belanda,Perancis,atau Jerman akan meningkatkan kualitas pemain Turki secara individual dan pada akhirnya meningkatkan kualitas tim nasionalnya. Sedangkan Rusia pernah begitu bersinar ketika masih bernama Uni Soviet. Dan ketika negara itu pecah menjadi beberapa negara, Rusia harus tertatih-tatih membangun lagi kekuatan sepakbolanya.Dan di bawah pelatih asal Belanda Guus Hiddink, Rusia menjelma lagi menjadi kekuatan menakutkan. Kita lihat saja cuplikan kedua pertandingan semifinal Euro 2008 di bawah ini:
Finally two teams of the European and world high level football, Germany and Spain had the right to contest to grand final of the European Cup 2008 that was held in two countries, Austria and Switzerland. In the semi-final, two teams overcame the actual the underdog team. Not faced teams of the tiger like the Netherlands or Portugal.Or Italia or France, but Russia and Turkey. Germany struck Turkey 3-2 in the St.Jacob Park Stadium in the Basel City, Switzerland. Whereas Spain defeated Russia 3-0 in Ernest Happel Stadium, Vienna, Austria. Although Turki had achieved the third level in the World Cup 2002, but structurally, Turkey was in the football middle class of Europe. The national team and the clubs. Turkey must be still fighting to penetrate the high level on European football. And capital for that was available.Because even more of them the player Turki that was playing in top European clubs, like England, Spain, Italia, the Netherlands, France, or Germany will increase the quality of the player of Turkey individually and at the end increased the quality of the national team. Whereas Russia had like that shined when still was named the Soviet Union. And when the country broke out to several countries, Russia must unsteadily develop again the strength of their football.Dan under the coach from Dutch Guus Hiddink, Russia changed still became the frightening strength. Let us watch the quotation of the two Euro semi-final matches 2008 below this:




Kembali kepada dua tim finalis, Jerman dan Spanyol. Memang Jerman sesuai tradisi mempunyai peluang lebih besar untuk menjadi juara. Selain lebih berpengalaman dalam menghadapi turnamen tingkat tinggi,Jerman juga mempunyai mental juara. Walaupun begitu Spanyol juga mempunyai peluang. Diperkuat pemain-pemain yang merumput di klub-klub La Liga, Spanyol tentu tidak akan menyerah begitu saja.

Henrik Larsson dan Perubahan Rambutnya -Henrik Larsson and His Hair Transformation

Beberapa pemain sepakbola ternama selain terkenal karena permainan bolanya yang indah dan mengagumkan juga terkenal karena penampilannya yang unik dan menarik. Ada yang unik dilihat dari postur tubuhnya (pendek-tinggi),ada yang ukuran tubuhnya (gemuk-kurus),ada yang dilihat dari asesoris yang menempel di tubuhnya (pakai anting atau tato).Yang paling banyak adalah unik karena dari bentuk rambutnya.David Beckham adalah pemain paling fenomenal dalam urusan rambut ini. Setiap perubahan bentuk rambut Beckham adalah trend setter bagi para remaja sedunia.Namun karena sekarang adalah masanya UEFA Euro 2008 saya ingin membahas satu pemain yang pernah mengalami satu masa transformasi dalam penampilannya. Dia adalah legenda hidup sepakbola Swedia, Henrik Larsson. Pemain bernama lengkap Edward Henrik Larsson ini di masa-masa awal kejayaannya terkenal dengan rambutnya yang gimbal,keriting lebat dipilin-pilin.Mirip potongan rambut Ruud Gullit di masa jayanya.Larsson mempertahankan potongan rambutnya sampai ia memperkuat klub Glasgow Celtic,Skotlandia tahun 1997 -2004. Ditengah karirnya memperkuat Celtic, Larsson yang lahir pada 20 September 1971 di kota Helsingborg, Swedia, merubah potongan rambutnya menjadi plontos alias botak. Kita lihat saja 2 penampilan berbeda dari Henrik Larsson:
Several football players became famous beside because of his beautifully and astonishing ball skill, also because of his appearance that was unique and interesting.There were unique was seen from his posture (short-high),there were the measurement of his body (fat-thin),there were that was seen from accesoris that clung to his body (with earring or tattoo).The most often was unique because of the cut of the hair.David Beckham was the player was most phenomenal in this hair affair. Each Beckham change's hair was trend setter for the teenagers of the world.But because now is the period of UEFA Euro 2008 I wanted to discuss one player who had experienced one transformation period in his appearance.He is the living legend of Swedish football, Henrik Larsson. The player had the full name Edward Henrik Larsson beginning periods of his glorious career was famous with his hair that luxuriant, curly and twisted.Look like the Ruud Gullit's hair in his golden moment. Larsson maintained his hair cut until he played for Glasgow Celtic, Scotland in 1997 -2004. In the middle of his career in Celtic, Larsson that was born on September 20, 1971 in the Helsingborg City, Sweden, changed his hair cut became bald, no hair anymore. Let's see 2 different appearances of Henrik Larsson:




Penampilan luar dari seorang pemain memang cukup efektif untuk menjaga citra dan popularitas seorang pemain. Rambut bergaya gimbal ala Gullit,potongan tomahawk ala Beckham atau model kuncung ala Ronaldo adalah sedikit saja dari sekian banyak contoh rambut unik pemain bola dunia. Kita akan membahas model rambut yang lain di kesempatan lain, dan Henrik Larsson adalah pemain pertama yang saya pilih karena selain dia cukup konsisten dengan model rambutnya (lama gondrong dan lama botaknya) ia juga pemain dengan sikap sportivitas yang tinggi,berkharisma,berpengalaman, disamping sebagai bomber ia sangat haus gol. Setelah sempat memperkuat FC Barcelona selama 2 tahun dan dipinjam Manchester United selama semusim,sekarang Larsson memperkuat klub dari kota kelahirannya, Helsingborg IF.
The outside appearance from a player really quite effective to maintain the image and the popularity of a player.Hair was stylish curly in the style of Gullit, the tomahawk hair cut in the style of Beckham or the crest model in the style of Ronaldo was just a few of the however many examples of unique hair of the football player. We will discuss the other hair model in the other opportunity, and Henrik Larsson is the first player who was chosen by me because he is quite consistent with his hair model (for a long time was long hair and for a long time was bald) however he also the player with the high sportsmanship attitude, charismatic, experienced, and as bomber he was very thirsty for the goal. After played for FC Barcelona for 2 years and could be borrowed Manchester United for one season, now Larsson playing for his home town football club, Helsingborg IF.
