Chapter 16 The third round of the Champions League (four more subscriptions!) )
Tactical room at Dinamo Zagreb.
Everyone gathered around as they nervously watched the draw for the third round of Champions League qualifying that was taking place on the television.
After entering the third round, the overall intensity of the Champions League qualification will be increased exponentially.
The strong teams of the five major leagues have been played one after another.
The top-ranked Europa League champions will also be on the line.
Liverpool, Juventus, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Monaco, Inter Milan and other five major league teams appeared one after another.
CSKA Moscow, Dynamo Kyiv, Basel, Benfica and other top-ranked teams in the Europa League will also be present here.
At this stage, regardless of the level of attention, the intensity has increased.
"No Liverpool, no Real Madrid, no Manchester United, no Inter! God forbid! ”
Duimovich prayed to the gods.
Others looked nervously at the TV.
Dinamo Zagreb failed to reach the third round of Champions League qualification 14 times.
After failing again and again, they deeply understood that this was a watershed between the Champions League.
If you don't have enough strength, then don't think about crossing the mountain in front of you.
Of course, a good sign is also very important.
In the third round of the Champions League qualifying round, there are no so-called weak teams, only relatively weak teams.
The process of abusing vegetables is over.
To be able to come here and stand in this link, which one does not have enough hard power.
As a result, Suke was less nervous.
Soon Real Madrid was pumped out.
Suke and the others held their breath, and Duimovich's prayers became a little louder.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Real Madrid's opponent was determined.
Krakow from Poland!
Call~~~~
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
But the next one was drawn out of Manchester United.
The crowd held their breath again.
Manchester United's opponents are Dynamo Bucharest from Romania.
Again, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hurry up and draw us, this startle makes my heart unbearable."
Dujmovich scolded.
This torment feels really bad.
Accompanied by Dujmovic's words, the emblem of Dinamo Zagreb actually appeared in the camera.
At this moment, everyone's nerves tensed again.
There are a lot of teams from the big five leagues out there.
Dujmović began to pray again, and this time, his whole body began to shake.
"No Juventus, no Liverpool, no Bayer Leverkusen."
With Dujmovic's chatter, Dinamo Zagreb's opponent was confirmed.
Dynamo Kyiv from the Ukrainian Premier League!
There is no such thing as a good sign and a bad sign.
After all, to be able to climb here, which one doesn't have hard power.
Of course, compared to those teams in the big five leagues, Dynamo Kyiv is still slightly better.
The next day, Besic began to lay out the tactics for the third round of Champions League qualification.
Of course, before that, he will first introduce the information of the opposing player.
"Dynamo Kyiv is a team in the Ukrainian Premier League and Shepchenko's parent team, and they started out playing long balls and using Shepchenko as the attacking arrow to attack the opponent's goal."
"But now this Dynamo Kyiv team has a huge change in style!"
"Sablique, Rincón, Gioani, Yusuf, El. Kaduri! ”
"Remember these players, they are all players with great skills at their feet, and Rincón and Giorgiani are the organization and metronome of this team as Brazilian players."
"The two strikers up front, Kleber and Verpakovskis, they're both impact strikers."
'Dynamo Kyiv likes to play in a 4-4-2 formation, keeping possession and giving the two strikers enough runway to attack the opposition defence.
Speaking of which, even Besic doesn't need to say much, the players off the field have already understood.
"Push with the central axis as the core, ensure the stability of the ball and passing, and open up a sprint channel for the two strikers."
After Modric finished speaking, he grinned: "Hit the muzzle!" ”
It was not the Zagreb Dinamo that hit the muzzle, but the Kyiv Dinamo that hit the muzzle.
Dinamo Zagreb's best high pressing, which is just enough to restrain this tactical system.
Compared to those long balls, they like this type of ball control with their feet.
'Pressing and disrupting their passing rhythm from the start, that's what we're good at.
Suker also said: "If the opponent really wants to play like this, then we have a better chance of winning. ”
After the scary Balkan derby, the players throughout Dinamo Zagreb feel like they've grown a lot.
Whether it's mentality or other aspects, they have a certain improvement.
The most important thing is that they are playing with more confidence.
The teamwork has also become more tacit.
"It's time for you to break out, right?"
Su Ke joked with a smile: "After such a long time of training, why does it seem to have no effect?" ”
Everyone looked at Suke in unison.
"Looking for a fight!"
With that, he rushed over in an instant.
Suke ran away with a puff of smoke.
With his explosiveness and speed, these people can't catch up with him at all.
Looking at Suke's figure slipping away, Modric stopped.
"As harsh as it is, he's right, it's time for us to break out."
Luka Modric: "After training day and night, running in again and again, it's time to show results. ”
Srna clenched his fists hard.
"Let's get up to the fighting spirit! We're not that bad. We can win everything if we want to. ”
Mutual encouragement between friends.
The third round of Champions League qualification is just around the corner.
Their opponent is the mighty Kyiv Dynamo.
The word Dynamo comes from the 'former Soviet Union', which means like a police officer, and has since been widely used in the sports industry, with many clubs in Eastern Europe having the name 'Dynamo'.
Of course, there is little to do with Dynamo Kyiv and Dinamo Sagrab.
They just have similar names.
Just as the locomotive in Moscow has nothing to do with the locomotive in Zagreb.
In the league, Dinamo Zagreb began to have a rotation policy.
Becic may have acquiesced in the departure of these key young players, and has vigorously cultivated substitutes for this purpose.
Jelavic, Rakitic, Strinic, Sildenfeld, Joel Luka, Subasic and many more.
They all get a chance to come off the bench from time to time.
Even in rotation, they were able to get a starting position.
Besic will not skimp on the starting position when it comes to players who have performed well.
It is also based on the excellent performance of the main young people, and Rakitic and other substitutes are also desperately catching up.
Their own talent + hard training, their progress is also visible to the naked eye.
Of course, for now, Dinamo Zagreb's focus is on Champions League qualification.
Goal!! Mandzukic!! After entering the new season, Mario. Mandzukic's performance is still so impressive! ”“
'From substitute to starter, Mandzukic has not been a smooth road, but he has taken every step of the way and has now become the second point of attack for Dinamo Zagreb.
"In this game, Dinamo Zagreb rotated, Suker did not play, Srna and several other main players did not play, but even so, Dinamo Zagreb still won the game with the excellent performance of Modric and Mandzukic."
"Lokomotiv Zagreb faced the city's hegemon, and they were quite weak."
Off the field, Suker and Srna wore substitute vests and sat on the bench.
"Karenovich's form has dropped so badly!"
Suker looked at Karenovic who was anxious in front.
This Zhengyin center, who had caused them a lot of trouble, was waving his hands anxiously.
The score of the match has come to 3:1.
Mandzukic scored twice.
Hildenfeld, who started the game, scored a goal from a corner.
He was also the first of those substitutes to score the goal.
A centre-back scored a goal, which made the youngsters like Rakitic extremely anxious.
"The discipline of the Zagreb Lokomotiv is not enough, their team is very loose, you look at Kacharida, the whole person has gained weight!"
Srna complained: "Is the food so good? ”
"Drinking." Suke pointed at Simunich; "The beer belly is out, and this is still the starting central defender of the national team?"
Srna grinned; 'Simunic is miserable because of the poor performance of the club and the national team, and the loan spell of Hamburg and Lokomotiv Zagreb has been extended for another season, and it is unlikely that he will return this season.
Suke stretched.
"Regardless of them, let's play our game well and play well in the next game!"
Four days later, they will face Dynamo Kyiv at home to Maksimir.
This is the first match of the third round of Champions League qualifying, and it is also a home game.
They have to get a win and an advantage in this game if they are to be comfortable away from home.
"It's over."
In the final moments of the game, Lokomotiv Zagreb still wanted to attack the Dinamo Zagreb defence, but they had no way to deal with it.
At the end of stoppage time, Dinamo Zagreb won again.
Dinamo Zagreb have won the league again and are preparing for the third round of Champions League qualifying as they prepare for the upcoming Champions League qualifying round.
This is also the fifteenth time in the history of Dinamo Zagreb that it has hit the Champions League!
But this time is different, and Dinamo Zagreb has asked a group of young people to write this glorious history for them.
