Chapter 42: The Undefeated Season (One More Subscription Requests!) )
Davao. Su Ke's retirement dinner naturally had to be specially organized.
Almost the entire Croatian sports scene gathers in the Grand Hotel Zagreb.
The hall was crowded with people.
Officials from the Croatian Football Federation, UEFA and others have come here.
There are also golden generations such as Boban, Stanich, Simic, and Bilic who also appeared here.
It's Davao after all. Su Ke's retirement dinner, no matter how busy they are, they are willing to run over.
Together, they created a fairytale World Cup trip in 1998, and they will also send their best wishes for their friend's retirement.
The whole hall is changing cups, and the atmosphere is very lively.
Davao. Suker clumsily dealt with those FA officials, although it was not very good, but after all, under the aura of a Croatian hero, he would be forgiven for doing anything.
Davao. Suke's social skills are not particularly good, and luckily his agent Mamic is by his side.
It also makes the atmosphere quite lively.
Suker and Modric hid in the corner, and they didn't particularly like the atmosphere.
Especially for Suke, the people who passed back and forth in front of him always had a strange look in their eyes when they looked at him.
In today's retirement game, Suker completely became famous.
When Davao. When Suker put his No. 9 jersey on Suke, it was both Davao. Suke's retirement is also Suke's legacy.
This is important for Croatia.
For this reason, Su Ke was naturally given some different expectations and responsibilities.
"I've finally found you!" Boban suddenly walked over from the side, pointed to Suker who was hiding in the corner, and said to Modric; "What are you doing here?"
Sucre; "We still have games, we can't drink."
As he spoke, Suke pointed forward.
I saw Davao. Su Ke touched his head awkwardly, raised his glass again and again, and drank again and again.
"Leave him alone, he's the best drinker of ours." Speaking of which, Bobandao; "Follow me!"
The two immediately followed.
Led by Boban, they walked out of the banquet hall and soon came to a small banquet hall.
Compared to the Grand Ballroom, it is less crowded, but it is more lively.
Suke saw that Stimats, Jalni, Bilic, Stanich and others had also gathered here.
Even the conflicting head coach Besic was dressed up to attend.
Despite the awkwardness and fierce noise.
But after all, it's Davao. Suke's retirement dinner, he couldn't have missed.
"Coach!"
"Teacher!"
Suker walked over to Modric, and they were naturally the first to talk to Besic.
Besic nodded; "Don't drink, there's still a game."
The two immediately nodded.
At this time, Boban smiled and clapped his hands: "Hey! Guys, see who I'm leading? ”
Hearing this, the eyes of the banquet hall focused on Su Ke and Modric.
A group of Croatian players of the golden generation immediately gathered around.
"If little Suke was in our lineup at the time, he would definitely give those French guys a headache!"
Stimac quipped Suker's head.
Jarni: "Luca is also a very good midfielder. ”
Under the introduction of the two, the others also looked at Suker and Modric.
In fact, it is needless to introduce that with the fame of Suker and Modric now, they are almost household names in the Croatian sports circle.
Pass through Davao. Su Ke is making such a fuss, the next generation of Su Ke, who will not know.
While everyone was chatting, Suker's eyes were always on Bilic, a player from the golden generation.
Bilic also noticed this.
"Is there anything on my face?"
Bilic asked with a smile.
The crowd also turned their heads to look over.
Suke laughed; 'I've watched Croatia's Under-21 games and we've played great!'
Bilic looked at Suke in surprise.
The U21 national youth team did not pay much attention to the game, and I didn't expect Suke to watch this game.
Suker still has a good impression of the 'rock coach' in front of him.
Don't look at this guy so plain now, he is unruly and passionate in the stadium, and he is also given the title of 'rock coach'.
And Bilic will take over the reins of the national team from Kranica in 2006 and officially become the coach of the Croatian national team.
'Bilic, bring him to the Under-21s, he won't disappoint you.' Stimats quipped.
Bilic was also a little moved.
In fact, this time ran over, except for Davao. In addition to the reason for Suker's retirement, there is also a look at Suker and Modric.
These two talented players, who will not be impressed.
Just as Bilic was about to speak, Boban suddenly said; "Why hasn't Old Suke come yet? Before he is drained by those officials, let's go and rescue him. ”
So saying, Boban led the people away.
Bilic also failed to speak.
"Why did you interrupt me?"
As he walked towards the main hall, Bilic immediately caught up.
Boban interrupted him on purpose.
If it was someone else, he wouldn't care, but after all, he was the big brother of the national team, and he needed to give enough respect.
Moreover, in his future coaching career, he will also need to rely on these teammates to cheer for him and create momentum.
That's why he endured it.
"Don't recruit them into the Under-21s!" Boban is concise and to the point; "Me and Davao are helping them find their way to the top five leagues, so that they can focus on the club and by the time they get to the ground, you will be almost in charge of Croatia!"
"Instead of asking for a hairy boy now, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to repay you as a main force of a wealthy family in the future?"
Bilic was pleasantly surprised; "Are you willing to support me?"
Boban smiled and patted Bilic's shoulder and said, "Do a good job, at the right time, we will do our best to promote you to the position!" ”
Boban doesn't want Suker and Luka Modric to be tangled up in the national team prematurely.
Now is just an opportunity for them to go to a higher stage, and it is also an age to rise.
In the future, they will land in the five major leagues, or even the big teams.
Before they can establish themselves, sending them to the national team, and the frequent back and forth will only waste their energy and talent.
And it's an Under-21 tournament!
It's totally not worth it!
For Suker and Luka Modric now, playing the ball at their feet and playing well at club level is more important than anything.
Suker and Modric had a spin around the dinner, and they got to know a lot of people.
This is also Boban with Davao. Su Ke continued to lead the two to expand their network.
After a busy hour, Su Ke finally returned to the dormitory.
After returning to the dormitory, Suke washed and lay down.
Suker has no intention of joining the national team now, but wants to build a relationship with Bilic, the future manager, in advance, or make some impressions.
Boban is Boban, although there is a layer of relationship, but after all, it is Suke who needs to grow.
Boban introduced that Su Ke didn't do anything by himself, and that was also nonsense.
And the most important thing is that the Croatian national team at this stage is really not peaceful.
In Euro 2004, the Croatian national team will stop in the group stage under the leadership of veteran coach Baric.
This also made the Croatian coach have to take responsibility, give up the position of head coach, resign, and Kranica became the next coach of the Croatian national team.
But Kranica's performance was not good either.
He lost his qualification for the 2006 World Cup and was sacked after two years.
At this time, Bilic will take over the coaching whip of the Croatian national team.
It was also from this time that these young Croatian generations officially landed on the world stage.
The emergence of the golden generation must be due to luck and nutrients.
Accompanied by Davao. Su Ke and others are aging, and the national team will inevitably show a period of decay!
It wasn't until the rise of Luka Modric and others that this trend slowly reversed, and Croatia ushered in a second golden era!
However, in the decade from 1998 to 2008, Croatia inevitably had problems of one kind or another.
For Suke, his current ability is not enough to turn the tide of the situation.
And he doesn't want to be drawn to the heart of these issues.
He is the heir of Suker, who has been given high hopes, and has just won the 'legacy' on the 'European Cup group stage elimination' and 'World Cup qualifying elimination'.
These two items alone were enough to smooth out all the aura on Suke's body.
Of course, if the national team coach insists on recruiting into the team, he can't do anything!
Unless he doesn't want to enter the Croatian national team in the future, he can only bite the bullet.
Thinking about these questions, Suke's head became groggy, and after a while, the sound of breathing became long, and he obviously fell asleep.
May 7, 2004, Round 34 of the Croatian League.
Based on the previous draw at Lokomotiv Zalegeb away from home, Dinamo Zagreb was able to extend the gap to eight points.
It also suggests that a win in this match will usher Dinamo Zagreb for the Croatian league title.
Isn't it just for this championship trophy after a whole year's hard work?
And so far, Dinamo Zagreb is also undefeated.
Of course, their undefeated gold body is not high.
What Europe is marveling at now is the Premier League, the all-powerful Gunners Arsenal.
At the end of the season, they remained unbeaten and challenged for the title.
And this season, they are likely to really go undefeated and win the championship.
The Croatian league cannot be compared to the Premier League.
Whether it is size, competition level or commercial model, etc., they are not a level.
The gold content of the undefeated golden body is naturally not so big.
But it is still very influential in Croatia.
The fans of Dinamo Sagrab also shouted the words of 'undefeated victory'.
They are just one win away from the championship!
They are just three games away from an unbeaten season!
This also fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the fans.
