Raven flocked
African "Madembe" can violate someone else's monopoly on the intercontinental cup
Brazilian football acquired a black date. The holder of the Libertadores Cup "Internassional" at the World Cup of the World managed to lose "Mazembea" from the Republic of Congo - 0: 2. In the final of the tournament, Africans will meet with the Italian Inter . And for the first time, the decisive match for the intercontinental cup will not be announced by the poster of the confrontation between European and South American football.World football has been ready for the revolution for a long time. At the world championships, among the national teams, they have long been waiting for one of the representatives of other continents to compete with Europeans and Latin American. But the real bomb under the foundation of the football domination of the two continents was laid in 2005. Then the good old intercontinental cup, which was played by the winner of the European Champions League and the South American Cup of Libertadores, finally turned into a whole tournament and found a sonorous name Club Championship of the World. The winners of six continental club competitions were included in the participants: Oceania representatives still looked at rivals from the bottom up, but Africa, North America and Asia had a real chance to someday catching the relaxation of favorites from Europe or South America.
The sensation was waiting for five years. The South Korean clubs under the patronage of national sponsors were increasing with hope, and good budgets increased in the direction of the violent Korean clubs, and European and Latin American coaches gave hard -to -the Asians an objective idea of tactical literacy. Sincerely, the North America looked in the direction-oil money made the Mexico championship very similar to the Russian Premier League, its participants also do not want to sell their players and can afford expensive legionnaires. But poor Africa went to the breakthrough. Her donor clubs in an effort to sell their pupils as expensive as possible are capable of real miracles.
Demand for Atletic African players in Europe gave rise to a worthy offer. In every large city of the Black Continent, football academies appeared, which turned into transshipment points on the way from Africa into rich football championships. Their scouts collect young players almost on the street. Coaches - most often Europeans - polish young talents, leading tactical shine and removing technology flaws, and about twenty -year -old African football player is ready to sell. For example, the best newcomer of the Russian championship of this season, Armenian Seydu Dumbia, who drove the ball in the yards until 12 years old and only then noticed by the breeders, went about the same path.
One of the most titled clubs of the Congo of TP MAZHEMBE from the city of Lububbambashi is a typical representative of the African football elite. “Raven”-the team wears such a nickname for black and white club colors-were very powerful in the 60s of the last century, when they twice became the winners of the African Champions League. It turned out to regain the leading position after 40 years - Mazembee this year in a row became the best club of the continent.
Basically, the “ravens” feed the French, Belgian and Swiss medium -sized clubs with their pupils, and not one of the teams of the team has yet taken off to the world peaks. While Dyemersi Mbokani are proud of Lububmbashi - he, having lit up in the Belgian “Standard”, moved this year to Monaco, who appreciated the striker of 7 million euros., And they do not forget about Ilung MVEP - the defender of the Zaire national team was just that eccentric, that he performed in the 1974 championship in the match against Brazil for the South American The penalty designated in their favor.
But, most likely, after the current club championship of the world, the Mazembee will have new heroes, and the club will update transfer records. The most valuable lots in the “raven” are the 25-year-old resour Mabi Mabi, to whom the Scottish Grandes and the Moscow Lokomotiv, and Dioko Kaluyutuka have already been accounted. It was he who became the author of the second goal against the Brazilian Inter - the goalkeeper of the South Americans overslept a blow to the near corner. Even earlier, he was powerless after a long shot of Kabang.
For these two goals, the owner of the Libertadores Cup did not find counterarguments. “The time has come to Africa to reach the finals. African football is constantly developing, and I do not see anything shameful in losing such a team, ”the main coach of the“ Internassional ”of the Selo company could only pretend that nothing special happened. But he and his team have already gotten into history.
