"A little dizzy!"

"It's easy to get tired!"

"It's a little breathless!"

The capital of Armenia, Yerevan.

Dinamo Zagreb came to play in the first round of the Champions League qualifiers, the second leg.

They arrived three days early to get used to the environment.

1500 meters above sea level, although there is no altitude sickness.

However, during strenuous exercise, their bodies cannot absorb enough oxygen due to the low oxygen environment.

This also leads to dizziness, exhaustion, and breathlessness.

Of course, after some adjustments, they can also recover.

But this environment is still very uncomfortable for them.

And that's Yerevan Phoenix's home advantage.

"Let them play in Croatia in the snow!"

Dujmovich said with a grin.

Croatia's home advantage is mainly reflected in the winter.

At the same time, heavy snow and cold weather can make it difficult for many players to adapt to this environment.

And for them it is already commonplace.

The Yerevan Phoenix is also a truth.

They adapted to the highland environment, while Suke and others lacked exercise in a low-oxygen environment.

'It's the first day, two days of adaptation, we have four goals at home and it's going to be difficult for them to turn the tables around!'

Suker said; "As long as we have a good strategy and don't rush like we used to."

Everyone also nodded.

It's not that this kind of environment is completely unbearable, it's just not suitable for them to use high pressing.

And with a three-day buffer, they can also get used to it a little.

At an altitude of 1,500 meters, there will be no altitude sickness.

Although the head did sink a little, it didn't have much of an impact.

Dinamo Zagreb trains for three days in a rented court.

They are mainly about adapting to the environment and developing a reasonable tactical configuration.

Besic's tactics were dominated by possession.

Slow down the tempo and try to defend as well as you can.

Suke felt that Besic was a little too concerned about face.

If he is replaced as the head coach, he will directly put the bus.

Defend the goal!

Anyway, they have such a big lead at home.

However, Becic disdained to play the bus, but he deployed a number of players with strong ball handling ability in the midfield.

These include Suker, Luka Modric, Valevic, Dujmovic and Vukojevic.

In the next game, Dinamo Zagreb will most likely play in a 4-5-1 formation.

Increase the ratio of the number of people in the midfield, while ensuring the rhythm of the midfield.

Slow down the tempo, contain the opponent and defend at the same time.

"The goal of the next game is not to attack, but to keep the defence steady, to control the tempo and try to keep the ball at our feet, you know?"

Becic reminded the players.

Su Ke and the others also nodded immediately.

At the moment, this is the best style of play for them.

July 26, Yerevan, the capital of Armenia.

This is a city located halfway up the mountainside, and as far as the eye can see, the towering mountains in the distance stand like a giant dragon, and the snow-capped mountain passes are even more spectacular.

【Hanrapetakan Stadium】!

This is the stadium of the Phoenix in Yerevan, and in the Malay word composition, this phrase means 'to destroy'.

Yerevan Phoenix have also been hailed as rule-breakers by teams in the Armenian Premier League, and they are a bit too strong in their local league.

But at this time, Yerevan Phoenix, which was rampant in the Armenian Super League, was played by Dinamo Zagreb.

Dinamo Zagreb's continuous passing, they did not have the slightest intention of rushing to attack, constantly controlling the ball and rhythm in the midfield.

"In this game, Becic put all the players with good ball control in the back, in order to ensure that the midfielder can hold the ball and pass ability."

"Suker knocked the ball back to Srna again, and the full-back Ducherovic of Phoenix Yerevan was very irritable, and as soon as he was about to get close to Suker, Suker passed the ball and didn't give him a chance to steal the ball at all."

Ducerovic watched Suker's unhurried retreat.

From time to time, cross or return passes, and at the same time pull into a new space to catch the ball again.

And not just Suke, everyone else did the same.

They don't mean to attack forward at all, they are passing, they are walking each other.

Through solid and excellent fundamentals, they do not concede the ball and have a high level of consistency in passing.

"Damn it!"

Gamal. Yakuhan watched as the game time had come to 40 minutes.

Time was running out in the first half.

'Dinamo Zagreb were very patient and they showed a completely different tactical style from the last game.

"In the last game, they were as passionate as fire, and this time they are as calm as water."

"Two completely different styles, but these young people execute them very well."

"They can play aggressively and at the same time, they can calm down, keep the rhythm and control of the pass in the environment!"

"A lot of people say that Dinamo Zagreb is a team of talented people who can do anything because of their individual ability, and I agree with the former, but their strongest weapon is not their individual ability, but this cohesive wholeness!"

"Look! Their passes! Their moves! It's like measuring with a ruler, it's precise and natural! ”

"The time of the first half is coming to an end, and Yerevan Phoenix are not ready to press?"

Looking at the vigilant look of the Yerevan Phoenix, Klašievich shook his head and said; "In the last round of the game, they were scared of being kicked and didn't dare to go up and force it! And this also makes Dinamo Zagreb procrastinate and possess the ball purposefully! ”

The first half ended with a halftime break.

"How?"

"It's okay!"

Suke exhaled: "The heart rate is kept at a normal level, and there are no too intense movements, so that the dizziness can be reduced." ”

The others nodded their heads.

Besic breathed a sigh of relief and said; 'Good, keep going in the second half.'

Their purpose in this game is to delay.

In the second half, Yerevan Phoenix became more aggressive.

Perhaps they understood that they would just sit and wait for their eyes to die, and they began to press fiercely.

However, they still struggled to get the ball from Dinamo Zagreb.

Even when they get the ball, Dinamo Zagreb is able to react instantaneously and retreat to start arranging the defence.

Yerevan Phoenix watched the time pass little by little, and the whole team became more irritable.

Gamal. Yakuhan hurriedly broke through on the flanks.

He felt the need to storm the defence and give the team a breakthrough.

But Dinamo Zagreb just pressed the inside position, and Srna and Luka Modric were always able to snatch the ball back from his feet.

"Yes! What about the answerers! ”

Gamal. Yaku Khan roared indignantly.

If his teammates don't answer him, he can't scream alone!

On the field, Dinamo Zagreb returned to that possession state.

The Yerevan phoenix pounced again and again.

And then it is consumed again and again.

In this stadium called 'Destruction', they became the ones who were destroyed.

And so the game is over."

"Dinamo Zagreb! What a terrible team, they showed two different styles, keeping possession at 79 per cent so far, one dominating possession and stalling for time, while Yerevan Phoenix were completely helpless in the face of Dinamo Zagreb's delaying tactics. “

In the middle of the pitch, Suker passes the ball to Rakitic.

This guy has been on the move.

After Suker's pass, Nunu mouth in the direction of the attack.

Rakitic's eyes lit up and he immediately dribbled forward.

It's not like I'm undisciplined!

This is what Suke instigated!

Rakitic's sudden forward took Yerevan Phoenix off guard.

They quickly flanked towards the right, trying to limit Rakitic in the danger zone.

Mandzukic has defenders next to him and can't pass the ball.

Valevic couldn't get forward.

"Left?"

Rakitic turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw that Suker had already started to thrust forward at high speed.

At this moment, Rakitic did not hesitate at all.

Bigfoot passes!

The ball flew high and landed towards the back point.

And in that position, Suke had already killed.

Looking at the ball on the ground, Su Ke jumped slightly, took off sideways and slammed his left foot into the ball, and the ball suddenly flew into the goal.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

"Scored a goal!!

"Suke!! The sudden change in rhythm was completely unpredictable for the Yerevan Phoenix! ”

"Rakitic's pass was accurate to Suker at the back post, and Suker's volley was also very exciting!"

"On 84 minutes, Dinamo Zagreb scored the game-killing goal with a brilliant change of pace!"

The stadium was silent.

The fans of the Yerevan Phoenix watched this scene blankly.

Even though they know they've lost.

But at the last moment, Su Ke actually made up for them.

"It's over! The game is completely over! ”

"Let's congratulate Dinamo Zagreb, who beat Yerevan Phoenix 5-0 over two legs and qualified for the second round of Champions League qualification!"

Under this goal, there was no suspense in the game.

The Yerevan Phoenix players also looked deflated.

They would have liked to turn the tables with home advantage.

But he didn't expect to be dragged back by Dinamo Zagreb, and he also scored an away goal at the last moment.

At this time, Yerevan Phoenix is completely out of chance.

In fact, by the time the half-time came, many players had already decided on this fact.

Yerevan Phoenix from Armenia, who stopped in the first round of Champions League qualification.

Dinamo Zagreb successfully advanced to the second round of the Champions League qualifying round with an outstanding performance.
