Chapter 284: I'm Milosevic, and I want to win the European Cup
"It's incredible!" A Yugoslav football commentator let out a scream of surprise: "Milosevic scored two goals in a row, and he single-handedly saved the Yugoslav team that was three goals behind!" With Zakhovic, the strongest Slovenian team in history, had to accept the result of being tied 3:3 by the Yugoslav team, and the hero of Yugoslavia is undoubtedly him, Milosevic! ”
……
I wore the number 9 shirt of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and raced through the Netherlands, Belgium, the European Championship, the highest stage of European football. Although I came off the bench in this game www.biquge.info I have become a hero of Yugoslavia after scoring two goals in a row.
However, I was always miserable - this was the second Yugoslav team I represented, the first one, the real national team that I believed in my heart - the great Federal Republic of Yugoslavia! In that national team, I was teammates with great stars such as Susic, Davosuk, Boban, Boksic, Pantsev, Savicevic, and I have my place in this star-studded national team. That national team, which had beaten Denmark in the 1991 European Championship qualifiers to top the group – but shortly thereafter, my country was divided by the war, and in the 1992 European Championship, Yugoslavia was banned, and Denmark took our place.
The most painful thing for us is that the Danes actually won that European Cup!
That's what belongs to us, how can they grab it like this!
……
Then, in 1996, I represented the national team of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia at the European Championship again. But at that time, Croatia, which had Davosuk, Boksic, Boban and Prosineski, had already participated in the competition in the name of a single country - the Yugoslav Union, the strength was greatly weakened, and in the end, neither Yugoslavia nor Croatia was able to win the Euro 96 championship. In that European Championship, the golden generation of the Czech Republic, which performed well, and Germany, which was full of injuries, these two teams with little stardom, finally met in the final of the European Championship. If Yugoslavia is still the same team, how can the European Cup champion have these two teams!
However, the division of the country has become a reality, and eight years have passed since 1992. No matter how much I miss it, it's impossible to come back to the past. The only thing I can do is to lead the current Yugoslav national team to the top glory of the European Championship once again.
If I were a warrior, I would never regret dying in battle. As long as I give everything I have, even if it takes my life to suffer the consequences, I will never mind.
……
3:3 Slovenia, 3:4 Spain, 1:0 Norway, I scored four goals in these three games to lead the Yugoslav team to finish second in the group. Although we will play the favourites Netherlands in the next match, I will never have any fear of the future game - and I even think that the Dutch defenders should really be feared, because the world's greatest goalscorer, Savo Milosevic, is here!
After our win against Norway, the entire Yugoslav team returned to the hotel together. As soon as I got back to the hotel, I turned on the TV - I was not watching football, but news - I was watching the current political news in Yugoslavia, and there was an international station in Belgium where they occasionally broadcast news about Yugoslavia. Watching the news every day has become a habit for me for the last eight years, and in the period from '92 to '94, what I wanted to know from the news was when the war was over and what the post-war reconstruction was like. And after '94, what I want to know is the economic development of Yugoslavia -- as a Yugoslav, the pain caused by the war is clearly reflected in me, Savo Milosevic, and even more so because I happen to share the same surname as the President of Yugoslavia, Slobodan Milosevic, who brought division and war to Yugoslavia, and many people will mistakenly point their blame at me, which makes my pain even worse!
Every minute and every second I fought on the football field was for the people of Yugoslavia, and for all the peace-loving people of our Yugoslav region in the Balkans! If the pain caused to them by the war can never be remedied, then I will at least use football to make them feel some joy from football once in a while on the verge of pain!
I rarely do celebrations on the football pitch because my heart is always so deep. Fortunately, now there is such a rare opportunity, if we can beat the world-class team Netherlands, then the Yugoslav people will be able to feel endless joy in football.
I must bring them such a happy feeling, which is the greatest meaning of my existence in this land of the Balkan Peninsula......
……
The Yugoslav football team should be the poorest national team among the 16 teams participating in the 2000 Euro Cup, and the other team that is also poor is probably the Slovenian team with the same roots as us...... Our players, in the hotel, are all three people in one room, just to save costs. I was the only one, because everyone had chosen the house, and I was the last one left, so I had to live alone.
Living alone is a good and bad place. When I wanted to call my teammates out to practice together, everyone else went out in twos and threes, and I was the only one. But it's okay that some of my small skills, such as juggling the ball and finger hitting, can be practiced in the room alone without going out. Because of my good technique, I don't have to worry about the ball going around and affecting the rest of the guests. I was able to juggle the ball for more than 7,000 consecutive times, and I was basically accurate in my fingers - I hung my jersey on the wall, kicked the football with my feet, and said that if I hit the number 9 on my back, I could hit the number 9 on my back. After watching TV, I started doing this kind of practice, and after two or three hours, I gradually felt tired. So, I finished my shower and prepared to lie down and go to bed. (To be continued.) )
