In the Group Stage of the European Championship between the Czech Republic and Scotland, Sigg scored the farthest goal in the history of the European Championship, which was booked by experts as the best goal of the year after the goal, and some stories about Sigg were also praised for this "fairy ball"...
The farthest goal in the European Cup
On the evening of June 14, Beijing time, the first round of The Czech Republic in the group stage of the 2020 European Championship Group D "away" against Scotland. In this match, the Czech striker Sikh performed well, and he scored with a header in the first half to help the Czech team lead. In the second half of the game, he scored a super wonderful goal, and his midfielder's hanging shot was highly likely to pre-book the best goal of this European Championship.
Czech player Schick celebrates the goal
The game progressed to the 52nd minute, Scotland pressed the attack was blocked, their shot was blocked by Shoczek, Hick got the ball at the back and carried the ball through the half, and about 50 meters away from the goal on the right side of the front, saw the Scottish goalkeeper Marshall standing in front of the front and back, without thinking, chose to shoot in the air, the ball drew a perfect parabola in the air, although Marshall quickly returned to the goal to save, but failed to prevent the ball from flying into the net. It was Hick's second goal of the match.
Different experts have different opinions about the distance from the goal where he starts.
Misterchip, a well-known Spanish football expert, pointed out that Sigg's starting position is 49 meters from the goal, and he has set a long-range shooting record in the history of the European Championship. The previous European Championship long-range shooting record was 34 meters, which was set by Spain's Goltilo in 1988 against Denmark. Misterchip's data shows that Sigg's goal not only set a long-range record at the European Championship, but also a long-range record in the World Cup. The previous World Cup record for long-range shots was set by Villa in 2010, when he scored a long-range shot from 43 metres away against Chile.
OPTA data holds that Sigg's goal was a 45.4m long-range shot, the farthest goal from goal since Euro 1980.
Book the best goal of the year
After the start of this European Championship, there is a slight lack of some "highlights", but this battle Sigg exploded the whole field, and the exquisite goal may push the atmosphere of the European Championship to a new climax.
Such a wonderful goal has triggered social media, many fans and media have exclaimed, this is a goal that locked up the best goal of this European Cup in advance, and some people even said that Sigg's goal even locked the Puskas Award (the world's best goal) in advance in 2021.
Of course, it is not an exaggeration to be able to score such a goal on a top stage like the European Cup, because in such a tense game, Sigg still showed his extraordinary imagination, which is really shocking.
Commenting on this goal, the CCTV commentator also said that this is the most wonderful goal since the start of the European Championship, of course, it may also be the most exciting goal of this European Cup.
It should be noted that this is the 13th goal scored in the 27th appearance of Hick's national team career, surpassing the famous Yang Kulovsky and Nesid, and currently ranks 9th in the team's all-time top scorer list.
The famous Hick went through ups and downs
Sigg, who is only 25 years old this year, has a bumpy career. Sigg made his debut for the Czech national team in 2014 and later came to Serie A. In his first season in Serie A, he made 32 appearances and 14 starts for Sampdoria, contributing 11 goals and 3 assists. His excellent performance, coupled with his early 20s, brought him to the attention of Serie A giants Juventus, but the transfer was stopped due to heart problems during the medical examination.
Hick then joined Roma for 42 million euros, but the young Czech striker was lost in the "Eternal City". Because of injuries large and small, Sigg has contributed only five goals in total in his two seasons at Roma, and was even elected the "Golden Trash Award" of Serie A in the 2019 season – this was created in 2003, mainly based on fan voting and the votes of dozens of experts around the world, and is one of the most mean and humiliating "awards" in Italian football, which is awarded to the most disappointing Serie A player of the past year.
The young Czech striker eventually chose to leave Italy and come to the Bundesliga on loan. He soon adapted to the rhythms of the Bundesliga and knew how to use his physical strengths. As a typical center forward, Hick has excellent ability to compete for the top and a good ability to get rid of his feet. In his first season in the Bundesliga, Sigg picked up form, scoring 10 goals in a limited playing time. In his second season, he was bought out by the traditional Bundesliga powerhouse Bayer Leverkusen, contributing 13 goals (9 in the Bundesliga, 3 in the Europa League, 1 in the DFB-Pokal) in the just-concluded season. With his outstanding performances, Sigg was also selected for the Czech Republic's european championship.
For a time, she relied on her sister's protection
In the Roma era, Sigg's statistics were rather dismal, but Roma fans were very tolerant of him, in large part because he had a supermodel sister , Christina Hickova.
The 1.87-meter-tall Hick family has tall genes, and her sister Christina is also 1.77 meters tall. As a Czech supermodel, she landed in Italy earlier than her brother Shik, and in Italy, which is known for its fashion, Christina is active on the runway and studio in major cities such as Milan and Rome, and advocates for a number of lingerie brands.
On social media, Christina has a fair number of followers. When Sigg is not playing well, Roma fans often go to Christina's social media to find "comfort", and under Christina's latest beautiful photos, the screen is often full of messages from Roma fans: "Well, we forgive your brother!" ”
Christina, who is becoming more and more famous, has made a lot of noise in the fashion and football circles, and attended the women's World Cup draw ceremony as a special guest a few years ago.
Hick also doesn't care about using his sister to increase his influence, and he often mentions her in interviews, "If I hadn't been a footballer, I would have become a model like my sister!" ”
Although there was a bit of a sense of living in the shadow of the supermodel sister in the past, Hick is still improving on the football field.
The two wonderful goals in the first round of this European Championship, especially the "Flying Immortal" who was hanging from midfield, I believe it will also make Sigg's value soar, and will also gain a lot of fans who love him. Perhaps, in the future, Hick will no longer have to rely on his sister to gain the understanding of the fans, to a certain extent, these two goals are also Hick's name for himself!

The "Fairy Ball" of those years
According to statistics, Sigg's shot was 45.4 meters away from goal, the longest goal in euro history after 1980. In fact, in the world football world, such ultra-long-distance hanging shots are not uncommon, now take stock of the shocking hanging shots of those years.
Villa
In the 2010 World Cup, Spain's match against Chile, Spanish striker Villa also came up with a super long-range shot. In the 25th minute of the game, Alonso passed directly to the left, and in the case of Torres's pressure, Chilean goalkeeper Bravo could only tackle the ball and the ball fell directly at Villa's feet. Nearly 50 metres from goal, Villa didn't hesitate to lift his foot and shoot, the ball arcing perfectly and rolling into the net. Villa's goal also broke Hahn's record, becoming the farthest hanging shot in World Cup history.
Beckham
On 17 August 1996, David Beckham scored a superb long-range shot from 60 metres out of midfield during a manchester United match against Wimbledon. His goal was named the third of the 3 most spectacular goals of all time in 1998.
Alonso
On 21 September 2006, in the 79th minute of Liverpool's home match against Newcastle, substitute Enzo Enzo tried to break through in the middle, Alonso broke the ball with the help of his teammates, the Spanish midfielder took a shot 60 meters from the goal after looking up at the position of Newcastle goalkeeper Harper, Harper was unprepared, after seeing the ball fall at a high speed past the front, Harper realized the threat, and stumbled to the ground in a hurry to catch up, waiting until he got up to try to save , the ball has flown into the goal.
AliHan
The Dutch team led by Cruyff shocked the world with all the attack and full defense, and Arihan, wearing the No. 2 shirt, was one of them. In 1978, Alihan remained the main player of the Dutch national team. On June 21 of that year, at the 1978 World Cup, the Netherlands faced Italy, and after a quick free kick, Arihan took the ball forward and suddenly fired a right-footed long-range shot 40 meters from the goal, the ball crossed Zov's ten-finger mark and hit the left column of the gate into the net.
