Chapter 240: It's not about scoring goals, it's about winning
Although Italy is obviously closer to Luxembourg than Bosnia and Herzegovina, I had to return to the team first, train with the whole team and then go to Luxembourg with the whole team. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Our training camp is still based in Sarajevo. Coach Susic has been waiting for us for a long time, he already knows the current situation of the whole team, just wait for all the players to be in place and we can start preparing normally.
Barbarec and they are still the support of our team, but our top five are becoming more and more important in the team. When Coach Susic and other teammates saw the five of us, they all kindly called us the "Bronze Five" in the Japanese cartoon Saint Seiya. The implication of this is that the five of us can't fight to death, we can't crush it, and our combat effectiveness is off the charts, which is indeed very in line with the temperament of the bronze five small strong.
We also liked the title of this bronze five Xiaoqiang, so we accepted it seriously. From this time on, we have become the bronze five of the Bosnia and Herzegovina team!
Milojbisovic, Dzeko, Ibisevic, Misimovic and Pjanic are the names of these five people, which have been heard in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although the core of our national team is still Barbarec, as a new generation, the five of us have achieved a position in line with our strengths. Next, we are going to use our performances in the national team to consolidate our current position even more. On top of that, we have to help the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team, win against Luxembourg, win against Denmark and win against any opponent in the group stage!
No matter what, we're going to win. Whether it's for Bosnia and Herzegovina, for myself, for the sake of Alosteve's mission, we have to win. During this time, several of us have been in excellent form in our respective teams, and to be able to bring such great club form to the national team is a blessing for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Luxembourg are the worst opponents in the group, but they are not a team to beat at will. Luxembourg came close to an upset in their last game, and if it weren't for Tomasson's two goals in stoppage time, Denmark might have been held to a home draw by Luxembourg. You know, Denmark is the only team in our group that has won the European Cup, and even Denmark was able to almost draw it, which shows Luxembourg's fighting power. Our Bosnia-Herzegovina team is far worse than the Danish team, and in the case of Denmark almost capsizing, we can't easily say that we will definitely be able to win against Luxembourg.
Everything needs to be known after the end of the game, whether it is the winner or the ranking. Before the game, no one would have thought that Luxembourg could not beat Bosnia and Herzegovina because football is round and any team qualifies for an upset. Even the world champion French team used to defeat the weak Chinese team 1:0 in the warm-up match?
Coach Susic has instilled in us this view during this time: we should not underestimate the Luxembourg team, they are a European team after all, and it is a well-known thing that there are no weak teams in Europe. Although they have not reached the main stage of the European Championship or the World Cup, they have finished third in the group stage of the World Cup or European Championship qualifiers. It can be said that they were once just one step away from the World Cup or the European Championship.
……
After a few days of training in Sarajevo, we flew to the tiny country of Luxembourg. Despite its small size, it is actually the richest country in Europe. Luxembourg has a lot of churches and one of the best cultures in Europe, and their football is just because of its small population base, so they can't pick enough good players. However, they not only have very good physical fitness, but also have very smart minds, and in the execution of techniques and tactics, they are actually very level.
When the plane landed at the airport in Luxembourg, it was getting late. We took the bus provided by the Luxembourg side to a very luxurious training base. The training base, the players' dormitory building is as beautiful as the palace, and the training base itself has only one court, but the environment is very elegant, there are many green trees planted next to the field, and at the back of the training ground, it is empty, there is a very beautiful mountain.
It was my first time in Luxembourg and I asked my other friends and they were all first-time visitors. The only one in our squad who doesn't seem to be coming to Luxembourg for the first time is Coach Susic. When he was a player, he seemed to have led the Yugoslav team to Luxembourg to play and returned with a big victory. Since then, the Yugoslav team has basically never been to Luxembourg. It was only later that the country was divided and several Yugoslav republics were in the same group as Luxembourg in the qualifiers for the European Championship or the World Cup, but this was the first time in the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
We've never seen such a beautiful training ground, and it's amazing that we can invest so much for football. The level of football in Luxembourg is not very high, but their love for football seems to be no less than that of any other country in Europe. But their football does not seem to be a mass sport, but the plaything of the aristocratic Grand Dukes of Luxembourg. They still adopt the system of constitutional monarchy, and there are a number of nobles and royalty in the country, in their eyes, football is the plaything of their aristocrats, they invest a lot in football, and do not expect any returns, as long as it is fun, it will be fine.
Such an attitude is completely different from that of our Bosnia and Herzegovina team. On the contrary, because we have been devastated by war, we will strive for everything that can give our nation self-confidence. Among them, football is the biggest reliance, because the people of Yugoslavia are very talented in football, so although Bosnia and Herzegovina are rare, they are physically suitable for playing football. That's why Yugoslavia is called the Brazil of Europe, because our nation, as well as their countries, have a lot of advantages in terms of race and football tradition!
As long as we can unite, we will be able to defeat all opponents. As long as we are united, we can work miracles.
However, the original Yugoslav team fell apart because of disunity. Now our Bosnia-Herzegovina team must not repeat their mistakes! (To be continued.) )
