Many years later, when people recalled 2020, what words would they use to describe it?

  Even if memory will gradually beautify the past, I am afraid that for many people, this year is still not a good year.

So when the end of the year comes, they can't wait to welcome the arrival of 2021, hoping that the new year will be better for them.

Both died in a helicopter accident.

  Fortunately, we finally passed that hurdle.

But some people, some things, some emotions, but stay in 2020 forever.

  When the bad news of Kobe's death spread to China, it was the early morning of the third day of the Chinese Lunar New Year-most people were unaware of it in their sleep.

This festival that the Chinese people value most is shrouded in the shadow of the epidemic. When enjoying the family reunion time, people are somewhat worried and confused about the new year.

  It seems that since then, "goodbye" has become a common word in 2020.

It always appears at the time of parting, but literally means reunion, which is inherently contradictory.

What's more, reunion does not always happen.

  Someone once wondered why the fans in China who are far away from Kobe by the ocean, and most of whom only met him through the screen, are so sad?

The questioner thought Kobe was just a basketball star.

  Kobe is more than just a star.

People who like him feel life from his experience and get inspiration from his behavior.

But one day, he left without saying goodbye, and even made it too late to say goodbye to him face to face.

Sadness, of course, flows upstream.

  At Kobe's memorial service, the blessed "God of Basketball" Jordan burst into tears. He said: "When Kobe passed away, I felt that part of my life also died."

  The death of some people, as Jordan said, not only the death of life, but also the change of countless living beings.

  Gao Fengwen, for many young fans, is not a very familiar name.

On October 27, 1987, as the head coach, he led the Chinese National Men's Football Team to defeat the Japanese team and qualified for the Olympics, so that he was hailed as "the first man to lead the national football team out of Asia."

  After stepping down as the national football coach, Gao Fengwen opened a football school and trained hundreds of Chinese Super League and Chinese League A players.

On October 27 this year, Gao Fengwen died of illness at the age of 81.

  The People’s Daily reported on the game where the national football team qualified for the Olympics, said: “For many years, people have been hoping that Chinese football players will one day be able to rush out of Asia and enter the World Series.” Fans who cheered Gao Fengwen and his players at that time Perhaps unexpectedly, such hope continues today.

  For the national football team, 2020 is a calm year.

In November of the previous year, they lost to Syria in the world preliminaries and "ran away" Lippi.

In the case of not playing an official game in a year due to the epidemic, the year-end ranking has increased by one place over the previous year.

  What if Rao is so?

Everyone with a discerning eye knows that the possibility of the national football qualifying for the World Cup is still slim.

On November 14, 2019, in the World Preliminary Asian Top 40, the national football team lost 1:2 away to Syria. The opponent scored the first goal in the game. After that, Wu Lei made a volley shot to equalize the score. Zhang Linpeng accidentally got himself behind, causing the national football team to fall behind again. .

  With Gao Fengwen's departure, the fans are more respectful and missed.

The National Football Team is like a traveler in the dark, Gao Fengwen was once a shining star in the sky.

And now, the stars are gone.

  In the history of the national football team, there are still many guiding stars, but when will travelers see the light?

The problem remained unsolved until Father Gao Fengwen passed away.

  When the calendar turned to the end of October, when Maradona celebrated his 60th birthday, no one had expected that there were only more than 20 days left to say goodbye to him.

The King of Ball is sick and painful, which is well known in the world, but his death came suddenly and still stung countless beating hearts.

  The Obelisk in Buenos Aires, built in 1936, has accompanied Argentina through decades of rise and fall.

On the day Maradona died, it witnessed the tears of the Argentines.

People gathered in the square of the Obelisk, crying, singing and shouting, remembering the national heroes of Argentina.

On November 25, local time, in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, a man put his arms around his daughter in memory of football legend Diego Maradona.

  In the Falklands War in 1982, Argentina suffered a loss in front of the British. Four years later, in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Mexico, Maradona used the "Hand of God" and "Goal of the Century" two pieces that will last forever in history. A classic goal, sent home the rival England team.

On the court, he happily revenge.

  For the Argentines, Maradona represents not only the king of football, but also the pride of a nation.

For fans all over the world, Maradona has allowed them to see what is the ultimate football art, let them see what is the unity of angels and demons.

  However, these are all left in 2020.

Everything about Maradona, with his departure, became a legend.

Argentine fans commemorate Maradona.

  What is the difference between 2021 and 2020?

Can anything change in the second past 12 midnight on December 31?

Not necessarily.

But now that 2021 is happily greeted, you might as well change your mood.

  One of the people who died in a helicopter accident with Kobe was former Brooks White Caps coach John Altobelli.

In 2019, Kobe sent him a text message.

  "Take every shot as the last, because it is so possible, so we have to make every moment full of meaning, let us not lose sight of the present."

  In the new year, I hope everyone can bid farewell to the bad things in the past, bury those nostalgia deeply in my heart, and protect the strength left by the dead.

  Also, in 2021, don't let us say goodbye to those who can't wait to meet again, okay?
