Chapter 20: The Zagreb Derby (Four More Subscriptions!) )
Swish!!!
The ball touches the net, which is the movement of the shot.
But with the shots on goal, the whole stadium was silent.
Everyone stared ahead in amazement.
In their field of vision, Suke got up from the ground and smiled and stretched out his right hand.
"Five!!"
There was silence.
Becic's eyes were about to bulge, he blinked, he scratched his head, and suddenly turned his head:
"It's not! Why did he run there?! ”
Assistant coach Kleiman was also silent.
He couldn't figure it out.
In the case just now, the entire penalty area was chaotic, and the moment the goalkeeper cleared the siege, the ball rolled to the right side, and Su Ke also appeared on the right side.
Crucially, this is the third time.
In training matches, Suker scored a total of five goals.
As Davao. Suke said.
With Suker loosening the restrictions, this guy has taken Dinamo Zagreb's attacking impact and scoring ability to the next level.
But the most exaggerated thing is not these, but Suke's position!
In addition to the two normal goals, the remaining three goals were all in this inexplicable way.
It was as if the ball had a magnet on it, attracting it to Suke.
This is outrageous!
The gazes of everyone in the audience who looked at Su Ke changed.
This guy's good luck!
Only Davao. Su Ke's eyes burst into semen, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be stopped.
"I guessed right!"
Suke has an extremely keen sense of smell in front of the door.
This can make this guy appear in some inexplicable places, but just enough to be the second landing point of the ball.
He can always hit the ball into the net in some weird places.
Among the center forwards in football, there are always a few alternatives, and their special characteristics have become the nightmare existence of the central defender.
Two of the most famous of these are Ruud van Nissterooy, the 'King of the Penalty Area' at Manchester United, and Inzaghi from AC Milan.
The most special thing about these two people is their consciousness and their sense of smell in front of the door.
This can put them in some weird, but deadly enough locations.
In the course of the competition and training, Davao. Su Ke saw this trait in Su Ke, a keen sense of smell in front of the door.
But unlike the previous two.
Suker also has a nimble foot technique that allows him to storm cities.
Combined, these two abilities have greatly improved Suker's threat in front of goal.
Once combined, this guy is a nightmare for all the backline!
"How did you do that?"
Dujmovich looked at Suke and asked curiously.
Three missed goals, it would be to say that they were all luck.
Suke shrugged: "Feeling! ”
Dujmovich grinned, this guy is just fooling people.
But Sooke did tell the truth, he just relied on feeling.
Of course, this feeling is also based on a combination of factors such as strong game reading ability, landing point judgment and so on.
Suker had an excellent performance in his first training game as the heart of the attack.
This also gave Besic's nervous mood a little comfort.
In the next few days, they just need to consolidate their tactics and be patient for the game.
The city derby has always been hot, full of contradictions and conflicts.
Speaking to the media ahead of the game, Lokomotiv Zagreb's head coach Istevic said:
'Besic's rebuilding was a failure and we'll prove it, he gave up a lot of things and it also gave us a lot, a team of young people, Besic's idea is too naïve! ’
The star of Lokomotiv Zagreb, a former Dinamo Zagreb centre-forward, Karenovic also said in an interview:
'We're going to beat Dinamo Zagreb and I'm going to prove that we're better!' ’
Karenovich's words could not help but hear resentment.
After all, he is a veteran of Becic, and when he left, he was still convinced that Becic's return would bring him back to Dinamo Zagreb.
For this reason, he only signed a one-year contract with Lokomotiv Zagreb, and even refused the other party's request for a high-salary extension.
But after that, Becic did not make any moves, cleaned the team again, and completed the rebuilding at the same time.
Karenovic and other veterans are of course unconvinced, and at the same time have resentment.
For this reason, they held their back to win the match, so that Becic could understand how stupid his approach was.
There are a lot of scenes in football because of love and hate.
For Becic, he certainly failed the veterans, but he also never promised to bring them back.
Besic's goal has always been to rebuild!
To be honest, even Dinamo Zagreb, who previously dominated the Croatian league, still has a squad that is not what Becic wants.
His ambitions are even greater!
To do this, he is willing to take risks.
In the face of the complaints of his former lover, he did not respond at all.
The competition will tell.
In response to this atmosphere, the 2003/2004 Croatian league season reached the fourth round.
Derby Zagreb, Lokomotiv Zagreb hosts Dinamo Zagreb.
Dinamo Zagreb and Lokomotiv Zagreb are located on the north and south sides of the municipality of Zagreb.
Dinamo Zagreb in the Maksimir district.
Lokomotiv Zagreb in the Kranicevich district.
These two teams are undoubtedly rivals in the same city.
Earlier, Dinamo Zagreb dominated the Croatian league and even during the former Yugoslav league, they were a formidable team.
Compared to Dinamo Zagreb, Lokomotiv Zagreb, despite its long history, was more likely to play in the lower leagues in the early days.
So for Dinamo Zagreb, this 'poor neighbor' is a sworn enemy of unequal strength.
Even they do not recognize the existence of the Zagreb derby.
However, in recent years, Lokomotiv Zagreb has been acquired by Croatian real estate tycoons, and has invested heavily in development, gradually growing in strength, and even absorbed the essence of Dinamo Zagreb last season to start a championship battle with the league powerhouse Haiduk.
Although in the end, they failed to win the championship by 2 points.
But it also proved to be an upstart in the Croatian league.
Karenovic, Kacharida, Simunic, and Butina are the central axis that the entire Croatian league is extremely afraid of.
At present, three rounds of league down,
Lokomotiv Zagreb and Hajduk are in first and second place in the standings with a three-round winning record.
Dinamo Zagreb are one place behind in third place due to a draw.
And this Zagreb derby is even more powerful on the basis of dialogue, but there are many contradictions.
This also makes the heat and attention of this game very high.
Kranicevich Stadium.
Compared to the Maximir Stadium, the whole stadium is much smaller, but the ball market is exceptionally hot.
Based on the excellent performances of Lokomotiv Zagreb and the leading players so far, they have a lot of new fans.
This also caused the entire stadium to be filled with Lokomotiv Zagreb fans in blue and white vertical jerseys.
Holding aloft the scarves of support in their hands, they swaggered all the way to the Kranicevich Stadium.
The entire stadium can accommodate 10,000 people and is packed.
Lokomotiv Zagreb offers 1,000 seats for Dinamo Zagreb, but there are plenty of fans arriving at Dinamo Zagreb around the venue.
For fans of Dinamo Zagreb, they are looking forward to this match, they are expecting revenge!
The east entrance to the stadium.
Amid the cheers of the fans, the players of Dinamo Salegh arrived at the stadium and walked into the stadium one after another.
"It's so lively!"
Su Ke felt a little excited inside.
Coming from the north side of the city to the south side, they saw a large number of Dinamo Zagreb fans here, and it was clear how important this match was to these fans.
"Behave well!"
Davao. Suke smiled and patted Suke on the shoulder.
After everyone entered the locker room, they immediately changed into training clothes and began to warm up.
There were no changes to the starting line-up.
During the warm-up, the Dinamo Zagreb players were inevitably greeted by the opposing fans.
Even though they've been through a number of away games, it's still infuriating to hear the nonsense every time.
"Kill them!"
Srna was indignant.
"Give them some color and see!"
Dujmović also clenched his fists and said angrily.
The actions of these fans did not frighten them, but only aroused their fighting spirit.
After warming up, head back to the locker room.
Suker and other starters changed into yellow away kits.
Sooker put on his jersey, tied his shoelaces, and took a deep breath.
In this game, the head coach Becic gave him the stage, and all he needed to do was put in enough performances.
"This is the 2003/2004 Croatian First Division, Lokomotiv Zagreb at home against Dinamo Zagreb!"
"How will the two teams from the same city perform in this game?"
"We are no strangers to the players of Lokomotiv Zagreb!"
'Karenovic, De Haake, Mitlic and Pilvaroc are all former players who have played for Dinamo Zagreb, but with the national team's starting goalkeeper Butina and the national team's starting centre-back Simunic, Lokomotiv Zagreb are strong, which is why they have won all of their last few rounds.
"Compared to Lokomotiv Zagreb, Dinamo Zagreb has undergone a rebuild, with Becic creating a younger team. Will the Sooker-led team be able to get their revenge in this game? ”
"For Karenovic and other veterans who have played for Dinamo Sallegbo, facing their former club, facing their former coach, how will they behave like this? Will they be able to beat this young team? ”
"Dinamo Zagreb side, except for Davao. In addition to veterans such as Suker and Stimac, the performance of a number of newcomers such as Suker, Modric, and Vukojevic is also extremely good, especially Suker, who has made many contributions in the previous three rounds, and can he show the impact of the wing again in the face of the strong rival Lokomotiv Zagreb and the sworn enemy in the same city? ”
The starting line-ups for both sides are as follows:
Lokomotiv Zagreb (4-4-2):
Goalkeeper: Butina.
Defenders: Sipetic, Simunic, De Haak, Mitlić.
