Chapter 126: Standings

By the time I woke up, I was lying on a bench in the dressing room. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Coach Cork ordered a stretcher and carried me in. Originally, they thought I was fainting from some injury, but later they found out that I was just too tired, so Coach Cork did not send me to the hospital, but asked the team doctor to check my body, and after seeing that there was nothing serious, they asked them to put me on the bench in the dressing room and wait for me to wake up naturally.

When I woke up, the whole team was gathered in the dressing room to celebrate the hard-earned victory. Hleb's strength is truly amazing, and in this battle, he alone poses a great threat to our defense. He single-handedly spelled out the two of us - Handanovic and Brechko red cards, all thanks to Hleb. But, anyway, today in a 9-11 situation, we were still brave enough to be able to finally win against Belarus and gnaw this first hard bone, and the whole team ...... Credit!

However, in today's game, Handanovic and Brechko's red cards are all caused by my lack of defense against Hleb, my defense, as expected, is still not as strong as a professional back, after all, it is a forward start, a midfielder from the halfway, although he has a very powerful defensive weapon such as "wave tackle", but my entanglement, positioning, judgment...... The level of skill is still not comparable to that of a real midfielder. If it weren't for my mixed performance in this game, we wouldn't have won so hard, and we wouldn't have lost so much in terms of personnel...... I was aware of this, so I went to Coach Kirk and said, "I'm sorry, Coach, it's all because of me that we won so hard...... Also, in the next game against the Netherlands, we lost Handanovic and Brechko, because of my defensive misposition, I feel sorry and I'm willing to take responsibility for that......"

Coach Kok was not as frustrated as I was, he smiled and said to me: "Zagoyeruhovic, this victory is won by each and every one of us, with all our strength, it was a very difficult game, and you have a credit for winning it." It was a tough win, but don't deny your achievements, you are one of all of us, a player of our Slovenian team! You should have thought that without your wave tackle, Hleb might have scored five goals, and without your beautiful goal, we would have had to accept a bad draw at home to Belarus. But now, we have three points, we are the winners! You should believe in yourself, you are heroic, great, and everyone does not blame you, but thinks that you are our hope to go on! ”

"Yes, you are our hope to keep going!" I heard a generous voice from behind me say to me. I look back - wasn't that our great goalkeeper, Handanovic!

"Brother Handanovic, I'm really sorry today, because of my mistake, I didn't defend Hleb, so you were forced to foul and you were sent a red card...... Excuse me! ”

"Ahhh No one is to blame you, mistakes are inevitable on the football field, and you don't just make mistakes, you have defended successfully many times! If it weren't for your interception of Hleb in midfield, I wouldn't have had so much time in the back. Hahaha. "Handanovic is really a big brother, he is the only superstar in our Slovenian team, but he takes such good care of a young player like me and is very persuasive. My mistake led to him being sent off, but he didn't care about it at all, and used a hearty laugh to relieve my nervousness and anxiety. Such a big brother is really a role model for me to learn!

"Ahhh This is Bretschko's voice: "I was also cheated by you for a red card, but I'm the same as Handanovic, I don't blame you!" Your performance today has actually made us feel quite exciting, I really can't imagine that your speed can be so fast, if it weren't for your timely defense, and your 'wave tackle' is powerful and reliable, I think I might have been blown up by that Hleb here. Coach Kirk asked you to play in the back before before, I actually still objected, you have speed, I originally thought that playing back was a waste of your speed, I didn't expect it to be very useful in actual combat, hahaha. Little brother, I'm optimistic about you! "Brecko's laughter is reminiscent of the sea, so gentle, so broad-hearted! I didn't expect to meet so many good teammates in the Slovenian national team!

"Come on, come on, don't be moved there, now here is the current standings of our group, an hour after the end of our game, all the other games in the group are over, let's take a look at our points and analyze how to play in the next game!" Captain Cesar is worthy of the demeanor of a general, and he always thinks about things one level ahead of others. While we were still immersed in the last game, he was already anticipating the next game. On the pitch, he is also a tactician at the backline, and the structural design of the defensive line is all he discussed with Coach Kork. Now that he's out of the standings, all of us are looking around.

'Look, that's our standings. Our Slovenian team beat Belarus 3-2 and currently have three points in the group, one goal difference and three goals. Since we had a bye in the first round, most of our opponents have already played two games, but Luxembourg has a bye this time, so like us, there is only one game to be taught. At present, the Dutch team has won two games, winning Luxembourg and Bulgaria successively, accumulating 6 points to top the group, while Romania has one win and one draw, winning Albania and drawing Bulgaria, temporarily ranking second in the group. Although we Slovenia only played one game, they won against Belarus and finished third in the group with three points, and then there were three teams with only one point, namely Albania, Bulgaria and Belarus, and finally Luxembourg finished last with 1 loss and 0 points. However, look at the result - Luxembourg have only 0 points at the moment, but their only game was a 1-0 defeat to the Netherlands. This team was originally recognized as a weak team, but the first game shocked the Netherlands into a cold sweat, what does this mean? It shows that the Dutch are not yet in shape, and that there are no weak teams in Europe, and we can't let our guard down when we play against teams that don't look as good as us in the future! Now, let's start with our next opponent, the Netherlands, and start our path to qualification. ”

"Good! We are going to fight the Netherlands to the end! ”

"Let the Dutch see the determination of Slovenia!"

"We're going to have a big upset! It's going to be cold! ”

"Hahahaha, let's do it together! You're all good buddies! (To be continued.) )
