In the past World Cup qualifier, the match between China and South Korea was the milestone of Zhang Linpeng's national team 100 games, but China lost 3-0. Zhang Linpeng suffered a crushing defeat on such an important day, which must have been particularly unpleasant.
It must be perfect for a player to mark such a milestone with a win on his 100th cap day.
But many times it backfires, today let's take stock of such players.
- David Beckham
Beckham reached the 100-game milestone for his country in March 2008, but the celebration had already soured before the game. First, England did badly in the European Championship qualifiers, failing to reach the tournament. At that time, Beckham also moved to the United States Major League Soccer, and Capello's relationship was not good. That game was a friendly against France, Capello is also under the pressure of public opinion to recruit Beckham.
In this match, against France in the post-Zidane era, England's performance was equally poor.
Ribery struck first in the first half and England were unable to convert after that, leaving Beckham's team 0-1 in 100 matches.
But Beckham's national team nightmare is not over yet. Before the World Cup in South Africa, he said goodbye to South Africa because of injury. Two years later, he was not able to be called up by the coach for the Olympic Games held on British soil.
- Frank Lampard
Lampard, Beckham's compatriot, also left a regret in his 100 games for the national team.
Lampard's national team experience is also not satisfactory, the most impressive is the misjudgment in the South Africa World Cup, but years of persistence in exchange for such a moment of glory.
Lampard's 100 is the world qualifier away to Ukraine, which is a tough game.
In the end, England were held 0-0 by Ukraine and had a chance to score, but failed to take it. England's situation in the group was relatively good at the time, and despite the draw, they eventually advanced to the World Cup.
- Cristiano Ronaldo
Also in that World Cup qualifier, C Luo also ushered in his own national team 100 games. However, the situation was not good for Portugal, who had lost 1-0 to Russia. Ronaldo's 100 games are against Northern Ireland, this game can not afford to lose.
However, even one of the peerless double pride of C Luo, also played his hundred milestone.
The team was eventually held 1-1 by Northern Ireland, and Ronaldo himself missed many chances.
Due to the poor results of these games, Portugal had to play a play-off against Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Sweden. Fortunately, Portugal won the play-off and C Luo did not miss the World Cup.
- Iniesta
In that Brazil World Cup, there are many players ushered in their 100 milestone, but the most tragic color is Iniesta.
And unlike the previous few, Iniesta in the milestone of the game is to win, but his Spain team lost in the first two games, to the identity of the defending champion in advance of a round out, so the white national team 100 has become a chicken rib battle.
In the end, Spain beat Australia 3-0, but such a big win can not cover up the sad exit of Spain.
However, in football, there are always wins and losses, and even if you do not win in the 100 milestone, you can make good efforts in the future games to make up for the regret.
