Chapter 106: The Belarusians Are Coming
A plane, landing at Ljubljana airport, came to a standstill. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info a group of young men in sportswear walked out of the plane, and they came here to play our opponent in the first match of the Euro 2007 qualifiers, the Belarusian team.
The team's number one star, Alexander Hleb, straightened his hat with his hand, smiled lightly, and stepped off the plane. This Belarusian team, although there are no big stars, but with the efforts of Hleb, all the players get along harmoniously, everyone is training and playing hard, and the tactics are very in line with the characteristics of the Belarusian team, and they really do their best to work together, so even if the status of the Belarusian team in European football is not high, it can often make some top teams very uncomfortable, and it is a well-known-stirring stick team.
Our game against them was a match of equal quality, but we were at home and we couldn't qualify for the European Championship without picking up all six points against Belarus. After all, it is almost impossible to defeat the Netherlands, and it is also very difficult to defeat Romania and Bulgaria. So we have to go toe-to-toe with Belarus, Albania and Luxembourg, and if we can take all 18 points against them and then get a win, two draws or two wins against the Netherlands, Romania and Bulgaria, then we have a good chance of qualifying from the group. After all, there are no weak teams in Europe, even the Netherlands, there have been times when they capsized in the group stage, and Bulgaria did not make it to the 2006 World Cup, let alone Romania, which has not reached the European Championship for a long time. Although their strength is stronger than ours, but in general, we are not without the possibility of an upset, and Belarus and Albania also have a certain upset strength, even if it is a small country of Luxembourg, there have been big upsets, so our hope lies in these upsets.
Belarus has Hleb, we have Handanovic. The position of these two people happens to be the shadow and the goalkeeper, and when the time comes, the battle between these two people will evolve into a spear and shield duel, which is very beautiful to think about. By the time Handanovic saved Hleb's shot, it was time for me, Zagoyeruhovic, to lead the team on a quick counter-attack and score the game.
They have already arrived, stationed in a five-star hotel in Ljubljana. It's not close to the training ground we have set up for them, but it's not far from the playing field, and in three days' time, we'll be fighting them!
My characteristic, I can run 11 seconds in the 100 meters, which is famous in Slovenia in terms of absolute speed. Although I am not yet at the level of the Olympic Games, I have been approached by the coach of the Slovenian national track and field team who wants me to practice the 100-meter race. The Slovenian national track and field team runners are not much faster than me, and if I practice my sprinting skills in the track and field team, I might even become the fastest runner in Slovenia. But what I love most is football, my heart is always on football, and I am happier to play football than to go to the track and field team to practice boring sprints.
Since my speed is not based on cadence, but on stride, which requires strong strength as a support, and my height is very high, reaching 1.88 meters, so I have an advantage in running and confrontation. As for technique, that's not my style, I just need to attack, shoot, and the "wave shot" with great power that I have practiced in the sea is my biggest strength as a striker!
On this day, when we were training, an uninvited guest came.
"Who are you? This is where the Slovenian national team trains, and no entry or exit is allowed! "There was a guard at our training base, and he saw a car coming towards the training base and a man who was clearly not a Slovenian stepped down. In order to protect us, the guards quickly circled, held their batons tightly in their hands, and watched the visitors.
"I'm Alexander Hleb of the Belarusian national team and I want to see Coach Kok. If he allows it, can I go in? The man laughed.
"What, he's Hleb? Belarus' number one star Hleb? The guards were stunned when they heard these words, and even I, who was warming up nearby, was stunned - what did Hleb, the number one star of the Belarusian team, do when he came to the training ground of the Slovenian team? Do you want to hear information? However, what team would let their country's number one star serve as an intelligence spy and speak out generously? I'm afraid it can't be! So, what did Hleb do when he came to Coach Koke?
I saw that the guard went to make an announcement, and soon, Coach Cork came to the door of the training ground, saw Hleb, and welcomed him very warmly: "It turned out to be Hleb, fortunately, I will be lucky." Before the big war, you would come to me to catch up, it seems that the management of your national team is still very relaxed! ”
"Hehe, aren't you the same with Coach Kork? You let me in, not afraid that I will be alone to find out about the entire Slovenian national team? ”
"What information can you see, I don't know? You're just itchy feet, and you want to find someone to fight with you! ”
"Oh, I can't hide anything from Mr. Cork. Hahaha. That's right, I'm here today to play against the best of your Slovenian players! “
"In that case, then come on! You can choose who we have here! ”
"If I don't choose, I'm going to try to finish all of you alone. Mr. Cork, do you dare to fight? ”
"Hmph, if I say I shouldn't fight, you'll secretly scold me for being a coward in your heart! However, I also have strong soldiers under my command! If nothing else, can you score goals against Handanovic's defense? ”
"If you can score goals under his defense, then you have to ask him! You don't know how powerful my shots are. What would you do if Handanovic couldn't keep my ball? ”
"Well, if your shot is saved by Handanovic, then you're a real braggart. I don't believe it, if you can beat the goalkeeper or score a goal against the goalkeeper's defense when you can beat our whole team alone, then I will completely obey you. Hleb, I believe, you can't do it. ”
"Haha, whether you can do it or not, you have to try it to find out. Coach Cork, I'm here!
Hleb jumped to his feet, rushed through the gate, and rushed directly to us who were warming up on the field!
