Chapter 342: The European Media Exploded
The news of our Croatian team's 4-1 win over Turkey quickly spread throughout Europe. Pen Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info all media outlets have reported on Croatia's performance on the front page, even more than the matches of the traditional powerhouses of football. Our group stage opponents, last year's champions Denmark and Portugal, were listed as one of the most high-profile matches of the tournament, but the heat of the match was ultimately beaten 4-1.
Everyone is talking about the Croatian team, and even many people think that the Croatian team will be the biggest dark horse in this tournament, and they all know that the Croatian team has a lot of stars, but it is only unknown because it has just split from Yugoslavia. All the TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, media outlets, websites, they are all talking about me and Boksic's performance, many are already talking about the possibility of me being the top scorer, others are talking about Boban's midfield organization, and there are even some people who think Boban is the best midfielder in this European Cup.
In addition, some media have also begun to list Croatia's odds to win the championship, and in the eyes of some media, Croatia's odds to win the championship have surpassed Portugal and Spain, ranking seventh among all teams. However, there is an Eastern European team whose odds are above us, and that is the Czech Republic. I didn't know much about this team before, but since I saw the odds for it to be in fifth place, I've been quite interested in this team -
This is a Czech team with Nedved, Poposky, Ufarusi and Galasek, and this Czech team is full of fierce players and is indeed a terrifying team.
However, I personally think that the Croatian team is actually more gorgeous, because with me, Boban, Boksic, and strong players like Simic, Bilic and Giarni at the back, we should be similar in attack compared to the Czech team, but we are stronger in defense. The Czech Republic is not in the same group as us, and if we want to meet the Czech team, we have to go to the semi-finals or the final, but I really hope that we can play the Czech team in the final, which is not only a victory for Eastern European football, but also a measure of the level of football between Croatia and the Czech Republic.
If we want to meet the Czech Republic, we still need to go through the group stage first. Although we have won the first game with a score of 4-1 against Turkey, we will still have to face the test of Portugal and Denmark. The encounter between us and the Czech Republic not only requires our own efforts, but also requires the Czech team to be able to pass the blocks of those traditional strong teams. Although I have a longing for the Czech team at this moment, I still hope that we will do our own thing first and beat the opponents we need to face one by one.
The next opponent is the champion of the last European Championship, Denmark, who replaced Yugoslavia but won the championship in an upset. In their first match, Denmark drew 1-1 with Portugal. Such a result, although it is not very good for a defending European Cup champion, but if you think that the opponent is Portugal, one of the seven giants in Europe, it is also relieved. If we want to play against Denmark, we first need to limit the two superstars of the Danish team, Laudrup, and if we limit them, we will have a better chance of winning.
We have a few days to improve before we face Denmark. Over the course of a few days, we decided to use the gravity training room once. And this time the timing of using the gravity training room, we decided, is tomorrow. Because after using the gravity training room, it takes a considerable period of time to recover, if there is not enough recovery time, then the gravity training room will not only not improve physical fitness, but will also make the players tired and even injured. After many trainings, we are more and more familiar with the characteristics of the gravity training room. In the gravity room, we train with heavy loads, which can easily injure ourselves. We had to limit the amount of time we spent in the gravity room, and we were only allowed to stay in it for 10 minutes at a time, and no more than 20 minutes at most. If it takes too long, the pressure of the gravity training room can bring down the person's body. And it only takes about ten minutes for our training to achieve good results, and even make the body function have an explosive growth.
After a night's rest, the next day, the coach gathered us together and organized us to train in the gravity room. This time, the content of our training in the gravity training room is no longer group confrontation, but some basic physical training, which we have never tried in the gravity training room before. This time, the coach asked me to do basic physical training in the training room on Saturday, and I think the reason may be that the coach wants to be able to achieve the best results every minute in the training room here, if you play in the gravity training room, there is a lot of time in the game that you don't need to run, and you don't need to stretch a lot of muscles. As a result, a lot of the time spent actually training in the gravity training room is wasted. If you do basic physical training in the gravity training room, everyone will keep doing confrontational exercises with their muscles all the time, so that the huge gravity can constantly hone everyone's body muscles to make the muscles reach higher intensity.
The first thing we do is push-ups. Generally in the absence of gravity, the person who does the best push-ups in our team is Radich, as the main goalkeeper of our team, it is normal for Radici to do good push-ups, after all, he is the person who needs the most strength in our team. However, now in the state of gravity, Radici's push-ups seem to be no longer good. When he did push-ups, he used all his strength, and he was not able to lift his body up, but some people who usually did not do push-ups very well, such as Boksic, etc., broke out and made one. But after ten minutes of continuous training, everyone who gradually adapted to gravity can slowly make some achievements.
