After another two days, our European Championship finally started, and before that, several games had been played in other groups, and our group only started at this time, because we were in Group D, the last group to start playing in this European Cup. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In our group, in addition to us and the benches, there are also Denmark and Portugal. As the champions of the last European Championship, Denmark is undoubtedly seeded in our group, while Portugal is also a strong team, these two teams are included in the top two teams of our group, and Turkey, because they have been in European football for a long time, unlike us, is only a new country, so Turkey is in the third pot of our group, and the last rest of us are the fourth team. However, the strongest of the four teams is undoubtedly us, not the aging Danish team. But no matter how strong we are, we need to take it one step at a time and slowly make a name for ourselves as Croatians. Otherwise, other European teams will definitely not respect us.

If we want European football to respect us, the first game is against Turkey, and only if we can beat Turkey with a hearty victory, European football will be able to truly respect us.

We have been waiting for a long time to prepare for this match against Turkey. Since we lost the name Yugoslavia, we have never been able to gain respect in football.

We, the Croats, to carry on the Yugoslav tradition, we must make a splash at this European Cup!

City Stadium, Nottingham.

We, the Croatian team, together with the Turkish players, walked onto the pitch amid the cheers of the fans. Obviously, we get a lot more shouts than the Turks, because we obviously have more stars in the Croatian team, and although we are a new country, a lot of the players in our team are already famous in European football. Whether it's Boban or Prosinecki, or me, even Bilic and Jairni, they're all very famous players in Europe. Because of this popularity, we have more fans than Turkey.

However, when Turkey's Hakansuk played, he also received unanimous cheers from the fans, including their goalkeeper Rustu, who represented Turkey in the World Youth Championships and European Youth Championships at a very young age, and also has a considerable reputation in Turkey.

After the national anthems of both sides were played, the first match of the European Championship between Croatia and Turkey kicked off!

The Turks serve first! No. 12 striker Ikit passed the ball to Hakansuk, after Hakansuk got the ball, he rushed forward with the ball, his dribbling breakthrough is very threatening, both with enough speed and great strength, our two forwards Boban and Prosinetski's defensive ability is not very strong, neither of them was able to limit Hakansuk's breakthrough, as a result, Hakansuk actually broke through the defense of our midfield with one person, and came to the 30-meter area of our backline!

In football theory, the 30-metre zone of the back line is the danger zone, almost more than 80% of the goals have occurred in this area, Hakansuk single-handedly hit this position, and I suddenly felt a panic in my heart - it was the empty position of the midfield that I feared, and if Bilic failed to defend him and let Hakansuk break through with the ball, then it would be very difficult to say when he faced the last line of defense, Simic and goalkeeper Radich. It can be said that as long as Bilic is passed, Hakansuk can take what he wants, whether it is passing or shooting, he can create a considerable threat, such a situation must be unacceptable to our Croatian team!

Thankfully, I had foreseen this situation before that, and I begged Alostev to have our coach allow me and Bilic to use the gravity room for ten minutes, and then, in those ten minutes, what we practiced was that I played the role of Hakansuk, and Bilic put me to the test again and again in a position between central defender and midfielder. I can't lose my skills to Hakansuk, so this kind of simulation is a perfect fit for Bilic. Those ten minutes of training greatly improved Bilic's ability to defend against others, which is to prevent people in the condition of gravity, and the difficulty and degree of practice far exceed the competition under normal gravity conditions. If even a pass-through in the gravity training room can do it, what reason do I have not to believe that Bilic can also defend Hakansuk!

Sure enough, when Hakansuk tried to use his speed to overtake Bilic, he was subjected to Bilic's rapid death entanglement! He obviously didn't expect Bilic to be able to have such a fast speed and such a strong body, in the death entanglement, Hakansuk was defeated, the ball was Bilic, directly to the feet, and then a straight pass, handed to the right forward Marić!

When Marić got the ball, he quickly broke forward from the wing! After training in the gravity training room, Marić's breakthrough speed became much faster, and he soon passed the left midfielder of the Turkish team and reached the bottom line of the Turkish wing!

On the baseline, it's a very good cross for a wide player. Marić saw that there was no one on the side to intercept, so he simply crossed with his feet! The ball flew over the heads of the Turkish centre-backs and near the penalty spot!

At this time, I rushed to the vicinity of the penalty spot! The counter-attack was so fast that the Turkish players didn't have time to get back into action, so I took the opportunity to hit a powerful header!

The ball was so powerful that it roared into the top right corner of the goal! Seeing that the ball was about to go in, he didn't expect that the goalkeeper of the Turkish team would gently stretch his ape arm and grab the ball lightly!

I looked up - it turned out that it was not their original main goalkeeper Aigan, but ...... standing in front of the door

Once represented the Turkish youth team has a very amazing performance, known as the next great goalkeeper in European football - Rustu!

Since it is Rustu who is in goal, then, the next game, I am afraid it will be much better......
