Chapter 58: Bait
Sarajevo, Grabavica Stadium.
This is the stadium of the Sarajevo railway workers, a team that was founded by a group of railway workers and continues to this day.
As their name suggests, the team's fans are mostly working-class and have a stronger fan base.
There are more than 30,000 seats in the entire stadium, and nearly 10,000 people come to watch the game.
Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, the Sarajevo railway workers and Mostar Zlinjski were in a stalemate situation.
In 30 minutes, the score is 0:0.
Sarajevo railway workers as a whole were on the defensive, focusing on a defensive counter-attack.
Mostar Zlinski has more possession and they are a little more aggressive.
It's just that in this game, Suker played very hard.
"Suker was knocked down again, and since the start of this game, Suker has suffered a series of fouls, and the Sarajevo railway workers have taken great care of Mostar Zlinjski, the playmaker in the frontcourt, especially Vlhovac has interfered too much with Suker."
Suke got up from the ground and spat several times in a row, spitting out the grass clippings from his mouth.
He turned to look at Vrhovac with resentment.
This guy looks like an orangutan.
Vrhovac has a lot of interference for Suker, and as a centre-back, the guy has a very flexible body and is not slow.
Suke's several forward thrusts and turns were sabotaged by this guy.
There were even several times when Suke was about to shake off, but he was chased by Vrhovac and knocked him to the ground.
Vrhovac is not slow, and compared to a high-school striker like Poschenocchi, this guy has a quick body and quick footwork, which can barely keep up with Suker's speed and cause damage.
And for the defensive players, that's enough.
After all, Suker relied on explosiveness and speed to quickly shake off defenders and complete breakthroughs.
But Su Ke also knew very well that once he failed to shake off the other party, or failed to shake off the other party in the first place, then these guys would be able to suppress them with their bodies and knock them down.
Or not enough physical ability!
This is also Suke's biggest shortcoming!
People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong!
At this time, Su Ke deeply felt this truth.
Previously, no one paid attention to himself, and he was a stranger to everyone.
There hasn't been much research on him, and for this reason, many of Suker's options will be in the opponent's tactical blind spots, which also makes his play very good.
But since the match against Sarajevo, Suker has become completely famous.
Today's Suker and Modric are known as the Mostar twins, and with the blessing of this reputation, the research and restrictions on Suker by major teams are even greater.
No one has ever paid so much attention to themselves before!
Their number one target is either Kosopec or Modric.
And now in this list, Suke is also at the top, and may even be marked with a red circle to highlight the highlights.
"Well done!"
Seeing Suke being knocked down, Poscy Chenocchi's heart was secretly refreshed.
In the previous game, he was very embarrassed by Suke's high-speed forward insertion again and again, but now after the return of Vorhorvac, this guy can keep up with Suke's starting speed and counter and pressure, and for a while, Suke's threat is greatly reduced.
Of course, it's not that simple.
As soon as Suke got up, someone was immediately entangled beside him.
This is a young midfielder for the Sarajevo railway workers, and Suker doesn't know much about his specific abilities, but he must be very disciplined.
Why?
Because this guy has been pestering Suker for a full 30 minutes, every time Suker touches the ball, he is limited by interference.
And when he breaks through this guy, Vrhovac will immediately follow up and limit it further.
Under heavy defense, Suke's performance will naturally not be too good.
"Suke has been entangled!"
Assistant coach Van Dier frowned.
A lot of young players will be on the rookie wall after a season.
The so-called rookie wall is that one season played well and the next season played badly.
And the key to this problem is that the 'newcomers' are being targeted by research.
That's how Suke is at this time!
And the rookie wall came even faster.
This is mainly due to the coexistence of Suke's advantages and disadvantages, and the characteristics of severe polarization.
At this point, the time of the first half is coming to an end.
Vansted also looked down at the time, and said; "Let's go back to the locker room."
Beep!!
A sharp whistle sounded.
The first half of the game is over.
The two sides played 0:0.
Mostar Zlinski was closer to attacking in the first half, but there were not a few threatening shots on goal.
Sarajevo railway workers, on the other hand, caused a lot of trouble for Mostar Zlinjski in a few limited counterattacks.
Dressing room in Mostar Zlinisky.
"I'm being entangled!"
Su Ke said with a depressed face.
The others nodded, and they all saw this clearly.
Throughout the first half, Suker didn't know how many times he was fouled.
Although the Sarajevo Railways paid the price for a yellow card, they did a great job of defending it.
"We need to find a way to free Suke!"
Kosopetch is also serious.
The attack was not fluid enough in this game, mainly because Suker, who was attacking one of the points of the ball, was in trouble.
Without Suker's playmaking up front, it's really hard for them to organise their attack.
"We need someone to step forward to help Suker draw attention from the defense."
"I'm going to interject it appropriately."
"Luca can't do it, Luca has to stabilize the overall rhythm."
'What about the full-backs up front? Like we played before? ”
Everyone is expressing their opinions and wanting to solve the problem at hand together.
And the fundamental problem is the liberation of Suk.
"No need to liberate Suk!"
At this point, Vansted said suddenly; "If they want to limit Suke, let them limit it, and if they focus too much on Suke, the others will have more opportunities."
After a pause, he continued; 'In the second half, Suker tried to get Vrhovac's attention as much as possible, you didn't need to pass the ball, you just had to draw the opposition centre-back Vrhovac and the marking midfielder.
"The full-backs are forward, Modric is also appropriately forward, Boban is going to play the ball from the back to the front, and of course you and Modric can do more cross-running!"
Everyone immediately understood what the head coach meant.
This is to use Suker as a decoy, pulling the line and creating opportunities for others to step forward.
It's a thankless job!
Sure enough, when they looked at Suke, the guy's cheeks were bulging and his face was full of displeasure.
But there is no way, this is the tactic that the manager has decreed, and he has to execute it.
And that's a key factor in being able to win the game.
Suke had to act as the bait and make a run for his teammates.
"Second half, it's up to you!"
'Kelpic, if Kosopec doesn't have a passing position, you can pass more back points, there is not so much pressure on my side.
"I can flank the midfielder and I can try to shoot from distance!"
After the tactics were formulated, everyone except Suke was happy.
After all, they get more offensive opportunities.
Su Ke can only accept his fate, sacrifice himself, and be happy with others.
......
In the second half, the two sides changed sides.
After a stalemate in the first half, both sides were thinking about how to attack effectively and score goals in the second half.
Mostar Zlinjski has a clearer goal, while for the Sarajevo railway workers, their goal is still to keep an eye on Suke.
"Keep up with him!"
"He ran to the left!"
"Follow up! Follow up! ”
"Leave it to me!"
"He can't run away!"
Suker was in the opponent's half, pulling sideways over and over again.
His heart was aggrieved, and the only way to vent was to run sideways again and again, affecting the opponent's defense.
The Sarajevo railway workers did not notice this, they only regarded it as their own defense, and Suker had no chance to catch the ball, so he could only run like a headless fly again and again.
But what they didn't know was that Suker was pulling down left and right in front, and a hint of sharpness had begun to appear in Modric's eyes.
Now is the time!
Modric flicked the ball across, shook off the opposition's pressing players, and sprinted towards the front of the court.
At this time, Su Ke also immediately stopped.
"Be careful, Modric is going to pass the ball!"
Sarajevo Railway Workers' No. 14 midfielder immediately stopped, his body was close to Suker, as long as Modric passed the ball, he would knock Suker down, no matter how bad it was, Suker would not be able to hold the ball.
But he waited for a while, and Modric didn't pass the ball and was still striding forward.
At the same time, the Sukhs suddenly pulled to the left.
The youth midfielder is based on habit and subconsciously follows in the footsteps of Suker.
But in this way, the central axis was suddenly caught.
There's a huge gap in the middle!
"Danger!"
Vrhovac exclaimed, and he immediately pressed forward, and it would be bad if Modric was allowed to continue pressing.
At the same time, Suker and Kosopetch were also diving directly into the middle, and the two were pulling the opponent's defense one after the other.
In this way, the left side is actually a 3V2 scene.
On Mostar Zlinski's side, Kosopetch, Suker and Biarr, there are a total of three attacking players.
Sarajevo's railway workers are centre-back Poschenocchi and full-back.
"Left! There is a leak on the left! ”
Poschenocchi shouted, but the attention of the defense was now drawn to the right.
Kelpic cut in from the back, dribbled quickly to near the baseline and crossed with his feet.
At this moment, Kosopetch immediately moved forward.
Seeing Kosopetch moving, Poschenocchi also passively followed.
Suker stands with the opposition full-back.
Seeing that Suke was covered up by the other party, Bir Yar immediately stepped forward and came directly to the middle lane.
Seeing this scene, the opposing full-back could only abandon Suker and chase after Bir Yar.
Meanwhile, Kerpic finally got on the cross.
The cross was a bit high, very fast, and flew straight past Kosopage and Biarjar towards the back post.
And there, Suker watched the ball fly towards him, he subconsciously jumped slightly, locked his neck, leaned back slightly, and when the ball touched his forehead, he shook his head to look at the goal.
Sooker's header!
Suke looked at the goal with a look of surprise on his face, and at this moment, a pair of large hands appeared in view.
The opposing goalkeeper slapped the ball out.
But the danger was not lifted, and the ball that was shot out coincidentally rolled in front of Bir Yar.
Bir Yar immediately started and sprinted with all his might, stabbing the ball before the opposition full-back.
Swish!!
The ball goes into the net.
With 64 minutes of play, Mostar Zlinski scored the first goal.
