Chapter 365: Internal Suspension
After the game, we took the team bus back to the hotel. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Along the way, none of our team spoke, and there was a deathly silence in the car. This silence made people feel frightened, the coach's face was bruised, and no one dared to provoke him.
I'm the biggest sinner in this game. If it weren't for my red card, we could have held on to our one-goal advantage, or at least held on to a draw that would have made our qualification more justifiable. Now, we have qualified, but we are second in the group, and if it wasn't for the Turks who saved us, we would have been out of the game at the end of the game. In addition, the group we are facing in the group, the teams that qualify are Germany in first place and the Czech Republic in second place, if we qualify at the top of the group, I can directly face the Czech team that I would like to meet, but now our opponent is the number one team in Europe, the German team, known as the German tank! They are the country with the most World Cup wins in Europe and are regular winners of the European Championships. Today's German team is even more prosperous, strong, their goalkeeper Kopke, known as the first goalkeeper in Europe today, their midfield, has the most luxurious lineup in Europe - Sauer, Hasler, Basler, Zigger, such a lineup, there is no team in Europe can compare, even Portugal with Rui Costa and Luis Figo, there are still shortcomings. However, the strongest point of the German team is their forward line! Needless to say, just say a name and shut up all the other strikers in Europe.
That man was JΓΌrgen Klinsmann!
Klinsmann, known as the golden bomber, is definitely the number one striker in this European Cup. Although I have scored more goals than England striker Alan Shearer at the moment, it is not because of Klinsmann's ability, but because the Germans have so many attacking points - their midfield can score goals, and their other strikers, including Kuntz, Bobic and so on, are all killers in the league. There was only one substitute striker, Bierhoff, whom I hadn't heard of before, who was said to be a talented striker, but I really didn't know anything about him.
Against Germany, against Germany, the strongest team in Europe, how can we win......
I was thinking about these questions when the car arrived.
All the people get out of the car and head back to the hotel lobby. The coach still blushed and said to everyone, "Now let's go to my room for a meeting right away, right away." I have something very important to announce. β
β¦β¦
When everyone was in the coach's room, the coach closed the door, turned around, and said to all of us:
"Today, I have gathered everyone here to punish one person."
When I heard the coach's words, my heart suddenly jumped.
"I think everybody knows who I'm talking about. That's right, he's our number one player, Davao Suker! Although he scored three goals in three games and performed very well, his impulsive performance also put a lot of pressure on our Croatian team. β
"In view of the negative impact Davao Suker has had on our Croatian team in this match, I have decided to suspend Davao Suker internally during the European Championships. The penalty time is from now until the end of the semi-finals. Once we are able to reach the final, UEFA's ban on Suker will be lifted and training will be resumed. β
As soon as this was announced, all the players were stunned, including me.
"Coach, what's the point of your arrangement? Suker won't be able to play until the final, which is absolute, it's already a very big punishment for him, so why would you want to punish him further with a suspension from training in a major tournament? Moreover, these two punishments are extremely repetitive, and we can't change people anyway, what difference can there be between training or not training? β
"No, if we do make it to the final, Suker might have to play. If he doesn't train with the team for more than a week, his whole physical condition will be relaxed, and the cooperation with everyone will be rusty, will he still be able to handle the task of the finals? Your decision is actually not good for our Croatian team. β
"That's right, coach, you announced the suspension of Suker at this time, which is to make him out of our Croatian team, such a decision is not only detrimental to the unity of the Croatian team, but also may make a player who may play in the final out of shape. What's more, what if we don't make it to the finals? Isn't your punishment useless? β
"Coach, do you want to think again? β¦β¦β
β¦β¦
I was very touched by the gossip of my teammates speaking for me. Although I am the sinner of this Croatian team, after all, I am for Croatia and for our war-torn country. I conceded the punishment, but even so, I still think I did nothing wrong. The most gratifying thing for me is that I have so many teammates who speak for me, they all believe in me and love me, which makes me feel deeply warm in such a big group as the Croatian team, and makes me deeply feel that it is really a very happy thing to play for this team......
At this time, the coach spoke:
"Everyone's love for Suke, I know very well, very clearly. I also value him very much, and I can even say that I rely on him a lot. He's the heart of the Croatian team and he's our leader, but discipline is discipline and if you do something that hurts the team, even if he's Suker, you have to be punished. Although our Croatian team is a warm family, if a family does not have a certain punishment clause and allows everyone to do whatever they want, then this family will soon not be able to maintain. If we want to go one step further in the European Championship, then we have to take the military discipline seriously and give the necessary punishment to those who hurt the team, so that everyone can be convinced, so that everyone can realize the need to do their best for the team. Therefore, I must suspend Su Ke from training, and in the next two games, we can only rely on everyone here to do our best and work hard to further contribute to the team! β
The coach's words were convincing. I knew I had done the team a disservice and I was determined to step up and say a word for the team:
"Thank you, everyone. I know that my actions have hurt everyone and I am willing to accept the punishment of the coach. The coach is right, if everyone is like me, and does things that hurt the team for the sake of their own momentary anger, then our team, our big family, will not be a family. I hope that everyone can train harder and try to beat Germany and the team in the semi-finals, so that I can wait for you in the final...... If I can participate in the final, I will definitely use my best performance to win the highest honor for our Croatian team - the European Cup! β
β¦β¦
The short meeting was over, and my lovely teammates went back to their respective rooms. I also went back to my room, thinking about the way forward......
Suspending is a big punishment, and it's also a self-inflicted punishment. Although it is necessary to punish me with a suspension of training in order to take military discipline seriously, such a suspension will really make my competitive state drop greatly. So, even if the coach suspends me, I can't actually stop training myself, and if I really stop training, then if we can really go to the final, won't I be the worst person in the team, and it will drag down the team and affect the Croatian team's championship success? If that's the case, then I'll be a Croatian sinner again.
So, I have to find my own place to train, no matter what, I have to keep my form, and when Croatia reaches the final, I, Davo Suker, will win the European Championship for Croatia!
