320 World Cup
"Rosicky, straight stopper...... Baros, Baros shoot! ”
"Four to zero, four to zero. The Belgian players have already given up on the game, they are no match for the Czech Republic at all. The Czech team has already won the Shijie Cup with one foot. ”
On November 11, 2001, the Shijie Cup European Qualifier Play-off was played between the Czech Republic and Belgium. Since the turmoil of the Czech Football Association, Merkley became the president of the Czech Republic, and appointed Brückner as the head coach of the national team.
Brückner began to promote and reuse a number of young players, such as Cech, Grigra, Jankulovski, Ujfarusi, Rozenal, and Senna and Gilberto, who became Czech citizens. Silva. Because it failed to enter the European Championship, the Czech national team was purged. A large number of older midfielders have been cleared out. Many players in their twenties are starting to become staples of the national team.
But the Shijie Cup qualifiers don't matter if you change them or not, in September 2000, that is, just after the end of the European Cup, the Shijie Cup qualifiers have already begun. Brückner was not ready, so much so that the Czech results were poor at the beginning of the Shijie Cup qualifiers. They were held to draw by Bulgaria and Iceland before losing to Denmark.
At that time, the Czech Republic was even behind the other horses in the same group, and the Czech football scene was in an uproar at that time, and Merkley was under great pressure. However, Merkley at that time had no choice but to choose to firmly support Brückner. Even Lister is a staunch supporter of Brückner's coaching. It can be regarded as a way for Brückner to get out of the difficulties at the beginning.
Brückner did not win any of their three matches in the 2000 Shijie Cup qualifiers, while the 2001 Shijie Cup qualifiers did not start until March. But it's just getting started. On 24 March 2001, the Czech Republic were beaten 1-0 away from Northern Ireland. At that time, the situation of the Czech national team was really precarious, and no one thought that the Czech national team would have a chance to participate in the Shijie Cup. Fortunately, four days later, on March 28, the Czech Republic swept away the rest of the country 7-0 at home. Of course, 7-0 is not a result at all, because Denmark swept away 6-0 away four days ago. However, it was also after this game that Brückner was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
At the end of the halfway leg of this group stage, the Czech Republic has one win, two draws and two losses in five games, and the points are only five points. In this group, Denmark has three wins, one draw and one loss, and the points have reached 10. Northern Ireland have two wins, two draws and one defeat, with eight points. And Bulgaria, which is mediocre, has three wins and two draws and has not lost. The points are eleven points. Ranked at the top of the standings.
On June 2, 2001, the Czech Republic met its strongest opponent, Denmark. Although Bulgaria has more points, Denmark is stronger than Bulgaria. The Czech Republic, who had performed very poorly before, easily defeated the mighty Denmark 3-0 at home this time, and the points reached eight points. Brückner is also a real national team manager.
Immediately after June 7. The Czech Republic faces Northern Ireland at home. The Czech Republic defeated Northern Ireland by a score of 4-1 again. The ranking is also rising.
At this point, the Czech Republic has been completely renewed, and the road after that is completely smooth. There was just a draw and then all the wins. Tragically, Denmark is also doing well. After losing to the Czech Republic, they were only a draw and then won them all. Zuihou Denmark qualified for first place, and the Czech Republic in second place had to go to the play-offs. Bulgaria, on the other hand, who started to perform extremely well, fell to the side, winning only one of their remaining five games, with Zuihou finishing third and not even securing a play-off chance.
The Czech Republic met Belgium in the play-offs, and the in-form Czech Republic did not take Belgium seriously at all. In the first half, the Czechs led 3-0 thanks to two goals from Jankoler and Borg. In the second half, Brückner replaced Jankoler, Borg and Poboski, but substitute Barosh received a pass from Rosicky to make it 4-0.
Although there are still away games, 4-0 is no longer a consideration. It can be said that I have already won the Shijie Cup.
"Congratulations, Barwell. With our Czech strength, we will definitely shock Shijie at the Shijie Cup. ”
The Czech Republic is very strong now, both offensively and defensively. If there is a slight hole, it is that the defensive line is not considered shijie-level. Ujfarusi and Rozenar are good, but they are also the strength of playing the main team in some European powerhouses. It is not enough to let them go to the giants to play the main force. This is the only loophole in the Czech Republic.
But there is Gilberto in the Czech Republic. Silva and Senna, the two shijie-level defenders, were able to compensate for some of the problems in the back line. And behind them was Peter, who was not yet twenty years old. Cech. Cech was just twenty years old when he played the Shijie Cup. The 20-year-old may have made a few small mistakes over the long haul, but the more they play, the more excited they become.
Now the Czech Republic is not only a strong main lineup, but also a strong substitute lineup. Like Schübschmann and Latar, there are also the likes of Borg, Smitchell and Galasek in the midfield, and there are also substitutes such as Lokwentz and Barosh in the front. Of course, it is not as strong as France on the card, but it is definitely first-class, even top-notch, in shijie football.
"Riester, do you particularly want the Czech Republic to get good results? Or is it the winner of the Grand Pride? ”
"Of course."
Reeskey nodded, then smiled and said, "Barwell, don't talk to me. I'm a patriot. ”
Merkley smiled at Rist's words. Then he looked at Rist and said, "Rist, do you think I should be laughing or crying now?" Patriotic, I think you should love the money in your pocket the most. ”
Rist laughed too. To tell the truth, Riester wants the Czech Republic to win the tournament, but it has nothing to do with patriotism. Because of two memories, Riester is very close to China and the Czech Republic. But because of this, there is some confusion, and I don't know which country I am. So there is no patriotic height.
But Rist is most looking forward to the Czech Republic winning the Shijie Tournament. Because 90 per cent of the Czech's first-team players are now Rist's players, the current starting line-up of the Czech Republic is full of Rist's players. If the Czech Republic wins a shijie tournament, the value of these players will immediately rise.
When the time comes, it will not only be the value of the players, but also their salaries and their commercial value. Their influence in European football will grow. As the first agent in the Czech Republic, Rist's worth will also double. This is called an opportunity.
It's like Mendes. If the Porto players of that year had been sold before, they would have been worth 8 million. But as soon as the Champions League came out, the value of their players soared. And Mendes is also rising.
This is even more true of Rist. Once the Czech Republic wins the Shijie Cup or the European Cup, when Rister is their agent, the power at that time is far greater than that of Mendes after winning the Champions League. When the time comes, Mendes and Figer, Rist can kill them in seconds.
"Barwell, I'm both patriotic and money-loving. Have you talked to Puma, this is a shijie competition. It should be linked to their performance and let them give bonuses. ”
The Shijie Cup is the war between Adidas and Nike. Adidas sponsored this Shijie Cup, and many aspects of the Shijie Cup are Adidas'. Most of the Shijie teams are Adidas, and Nike also sponsors Brazil. Other small brands are simply not as good as him.
Every time the shijie contest is a time of rivalry between the two brands, Adidas and Nike. Puma does not have the strength to squeeze into it now, so it can only sponsor some teams in the Czech Republic and Africa.
"Of course. Puma would love to do the same. ”
"Bawell, you're going to have to calculate the player's bonus. I'm going to count them with you one by one. ”
Because most of the Czech internationals are Lister's players, they actually have a share of the prize money they get. Rist had to settle accounts with them one by one about the prize money.
"Yes. Lister, I really doubt that anyone on this shijie can take advantage of you, I guess your father owes you a penny and you will have to go back. I don't dare owe you money. ”
“haha。”
The two have known each other for a long time and have always been partners. Therefore, the two have a good personal relationship, and they can joke with each other at will. And the two of them are currently the two most powerful figures in Czech football.
"Let's go, Riester. Let's go and treat our national team players. ”
Rist waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you can go." I won't mix it up. ”
Although Rist and the Czech national team are familiar up and down. Including the national team head coach Brückner to the following players are not familiar with Lister, but Rister knows the rules very well. Although Riest does not allow anyone to challenge his position in Czech football, he will never cross the line on the face. It's time for the boss of the Football Association and the national team to celebrate, and it's not right for an agent to go there.
"Alright, you're busy. I'm going. ”
"Yes."
Looking at the departing Merkley, Riester let out a long sigh of relief. The failure to enter the Euro 00 was still a big blow to Czech football. Letting Czech players go abroad has a big impact, and it can't be compared with the boom of going abroad after '96. If the Shijie Cup in '02 can't be scored again, then the blow will definitely be fatal.
Fortunately, there is finally no danger to enter the Korean-Japanese Shijie Cup. The second leg was largely unremarkable. Even away Belgium is no match for the Czech Republic. Today's Belgium is not the Belgium of a decade later.
I hope to have a haode result in the Korea-Japan Shijie Cup next year. (To be continued......)
