Sometimes incredible things happen in football that the world has never seen before. Some players score fantastic goals from long distances, others hit the ball with incredible force, after which it flies into the goal net with great speed, others are distinguished by a large number of goals scored in one match or season. In general, something happens that did not happen before, that is, one or another record is set or surpassed. It is about the 10 most incredible records in football that we will talk about today.
Farthest goal (Asmir Begovic - 91.9 m.)
In 2013, the match of the English Premier League "Stoke City" - "Southampton" took place, in which the goalkeeper of the "potters" Asmir Begovic scored a goal. In football, of course, there are cases when goalkeepers act as a scorer, but this mainly happens when playing set pieces in the last minutes of the match. Our case is special in that Begovic scored a goal from his own penalty area. He simply kicked the ball away, which flew to the opponent's goal and treacherously jumped over Southampton goalkeeper Artut Boruc, ending up in the net. That ball was scored from a distance of 91.9 meters.
Interesting fact. About a year earlier, before Begovic's sensational strike, Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard had also scored in a similar style.
Most red cards in one match (Claypole - Victorano Ahrenza - 36)
The match of the 5th division of Argentina between Claypole and Victorano Arensa went down in football history thanks to the huge number of red cards. The meeting began quite calmly, but after the score was 2-0, the players of Victoriano Arenas were outraged by many decisions of the referee, and in the end, everything escalated into a fight. The main arbiter of the match, Damian Rubino, decided to punish the participants with a mass brawl. He issued as many as 36 red cards, removing all 22 players from the main team, as well as many substitutes and coaching staff. Rubino can be called a real daredevil, because not every modern referee can dare to remove 2-3 players per match, and he left as many as 36 overboard.
The most expensive transfer of a football player (Neymar - € 222 million)
Football madness cannot be stopped. It would seem that the €94 million paid by Real Madrid to Manchester United for the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo will remain a transfer record for a long time. However, a few years later Gareth Bale and then Paul Pogba were sold by their clubs for even more money: €100 and €105 million respectively. The madness didn't stop there. In the summer of 2017, the French "Paris Saint-Germain" paid the Spanish "Barcelona" for the Brazilian Neymar € 222 million. It is the most expensive player purchase in football to date. I wonder how long this transfer record will last?
Record for the number of goals scored in one calendar year (Leo Messi - 91)
It is interesting. The Zambian Football Federation does not recognize the achievement of the performance of the Argentine Messi. In their opinion, the Zambian striker Godfrey Chital scored the most goals in a year, allegedly scoring 107 times in the opponent's goal.
Most goals scored by a single player in the World Cup (Just Fontaine - 13)
Frenchman Just Fontaine scored 13 goals at the 1958 World Cup. Fontaine scored a hat-trick in the first game of the national team in the group stage, then scored a double against Yugoslavia and hammered another ball into the Scots. In the quarter-final game against Northern Ireland, Just scored a double, and also celebrated one goal in the semi-final of the tournament against the Brazilians, which, as a result, France lost 5-2. In the match for third place, Fontaine scored 4 more goals, bringing his scorer's baggage in the tournament to 13 goals. By the way, .
Most goals scored by a goalkeeper (Rogerio Ceni - 135)
The goalkeeper has one most important task on the field - to protect his goal. However, for some goalkeepers, the work associated only with the protection of their own goal seems boring, and they decide to test themselves as a scorer. There are only a few such keepers in football history, but they exist. Rogerio Ceni is the chief of these goalscoring goalkeepers. The Brazilian played for Sao Paulo, in which he spent more than 20 years and won many titles.
Seni also proved to be excellent as a scorer. During his career, the player scored 135 goals in all competitions. He scored these goals from free kicks and penalties. For example, the famous English midfielder Ryan Giggs scored only 111 goals in the same playing period of his career.
5 Champions League Cups in a row (Real Madrid 1955-1960)
From 1955 to 1960, Real Madrid destroyed all their rivals on the continent, winning 5 UEFA Champions League Cups in a row. This record is still unbeaten, and for sure, against the backdrop of a significant evolution of the tactics of the teams and the skill of the players, it is unlikely that anyone will be able to repeat such an achievement. It is worth noting that in the current realities it is not possible to win the Champions League, even twice in a row. Only in the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons, the same Real Madrid managed to win the tournament twice.
Largest attendance at a football match (Brazil v Uruguay: 210,000)
The final of the 1950 World Cup with the participation of the national teams of Brazil and Uruguay, held at the Maracana Stadium, was called the Maracanazo. According to official figures, 173,850 tickets were sold for the match, but unofficial sources claim that 210,000 people were in the stadium at the time of the game. Then there was no such strict control regarding security measures at the stadium, and many fans without tickets made their way to the stands in order to watch an interesting match.
The most productive match in history (Adema - Stade Olympique l'Emirne - 149: 0)
The Madagascar championship match between Adema and Stade Olympique l'Emirn, held on October 31, 2002, was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the most productive in football. That game was part of a 4-team tournament. Football players of "SOE" were dissatisfied with the actions of the chief referee in the last game, who by his decisions deprived the team of the chance to become a champion. For the next match against Adema, the SOE players took to the field and, unexpectedly for everyone, began to score goals in their own net. In 90 minutes of play, they managed to score 149 times against their goalkeeper. 149:0 is the final score of the game.
Such a protest from the players did not go unpunished to Him. The Madagascar Football Federation suspended the head coach Him for several years from football, and also banned some football players from playing until the end of the season.
Fewest wins in one season in the English Premier League (Derby County - 1)
Such a sad football record belongs to Derby County. Among all the teams participating in the 2007/08 Premier League season, Derby was the weakest. For 38 rounds, the "rams" managed to win only 1 match. They lost 29 matches (another record), scored only 20 goals, with 89 conceded. At the end of the season, Derby became the weakest club in the Premier League with 11 points in their asset. As a result, Derby finished last in the standings and were relegated.
Most international goals (Ali Daei - 109)
Over 13 years of his career, the Iranian Ali Daei managed to play 149 matches for the national team, in which he scored 109 goals. Daei is considered one of the greatest footballers in Iranian history. At the club level, the striker managed to play in one of the strongest leagues in Europe - the Bundesliga. He represented Hertha and Bayern. During his time at Bayern, Ali became the first Iranian player to play in the UEFA Champions League.
The strongest kick in football (Hulk - 214 km / h)
At one time, Brazilian defender Roberto Carlos owned one of the most powerful blows in football, but now the Hulk has the most powerful blow. The Brazilian “winger” demonstrated his cannon in the match against Shakhtar Donetsk, when he was still playing for Porto. Hulk hit from outside the penalty area, after which the ball sank into the goal at crazy speed. Shakhtar goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov was powerless against such a shot. The flight speed of that ball was 214 km / h, which today is an unsurpassed record.
Many football fans think that 90 minutes of a match is too little. The most desperate fans can play football even more than a day. So, to date, the longest football match is the match that took place on April 11-12, 2009 in Great Britain between the team of the Bristol Football Academy and Leeds Badgers. This match lasted 36 hours and ended with the victory of Leeds with a score of 285-255. The Leeds striker, Adam McPhee, was especially distinguished - he scored 75 goals.
Each team had 18 players, each of whom played approximately 18 hours. It is estimated that the players ran an average of 70 kilometers during this match. At the same time, even during breaks, players were not allowed to leave the field.
