Chapter 21: The Galactic Battleship (Four More Subscriptions!) )
Dinamo Zagreb's Champions League group stage will be played on 16 September when they take on Real Madrid in the first leg.
From the Champions League qualifying round, they also only have half a month to adjust.
At the same time, the whole Real Madrid team landed in Zagreb, and this made the fans of the whole city and even Croatia begin to gather frantically towards Zagreb.
In addition to being fans of a local team, they are also individual fans of a particular player.
Being able to witness Ronaldo, David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, Raul and many more in one go, they naturally won't miss this opportunity.
Even the fans of Dinamo Zagreb are in a state of frenzy.
It was a state where I was about to meet an idol.
You can see how popular Real Madrid is.
"I can't imagine that one day we will play Real Madrid in the Champions League, it is so exciting for us fans, it is not about winning or losing, we just enjoy the game."
In the camera, a Dinamo Zagreb fan said excitedly to the camera.
Su Ke looked at this scene and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Get!
Now their own fans are going to mutiny.
Of course, they are still fans of Dinamo Zagreb, but they simply love the likes of Ronaldo.
And to be able to see them play in action in the game is not too exciting.
For fans of Dinamo Zagreb.
The team reached the Champions League and they made a whole new history, and that was enough.
They don't expect more.
For many teams, the Champions League group stage is just the beginning.
But for Dinamo Zagreb, they have done everything to be here.
The next thing is to enjoy the game.
"It seems that we will not be put under too much pressure."
Srna shrugged.
The fact that the fans are in such a state has made the burden on their shoulders less.
Dujmović; "Before, the media didn't pay attention, but now the fans have defected."
Srna grinned: "That's Real Madrid after all!" ”
Mandzukic; "It's a little uncomfortable!"
Modric didn't speak either.
"That's right, Su Ke said, the attention is on his own fight, and when the game comes, he will give them a dismount."
Vukojevich was highly motivated.
Anyway, their state at this time is that the media doesn't pay attention to it, and the fans are rotten.
They don't need to put much pressure on themselves.
This state of affairs of the fans more or less unconvinced these young people.
It was as if they had acquiesced in their failures.
The game hasn't started yet!
Winning or losing is also uncertain!
There is no such thing as the strong being strong and the weak being weak.
Football is round!
No one can predict the score until the end.
Bang!!
Dujmovic's long-range shot went straight into the corner.
The ball gets into the middle of the net in the crowd.
Dujmovic's goal doubled the score for the team again.
Dinamo Zagreb 3:1NK Valaždin.
NK Valažitin are the promoted horses of the season and they have already suffered heavy blows in the previous rounds.
And this time against Dinamo Zagreb, three goals were scored in the first half.
Head coach Becic watched the scene with a smile.
"This one is not a small grievance!"
Assistant coach Kleiman turned to look at Becic.
"What did you do again?"
Becic raised his hands: "I didn't do anything this time, but the defective fans and the fanatical media have aroused the strong character of this group of little guys!" ”
"Now these guys are like powder kegs, and they are all holding their breath, waiting for it to explode."
In the middle of the field, Dujmović ran to the sidelines, and he yelled at the stands:
"Come on! Hurray! Don't you like to cheer! Come on! Shout! ”
Duimovich's expression was hideous.
The fans couldn't hear what he was shouting, but they saw the excitement and gave more cheers.
Suke and Mandzukic quickly ran over
Suke was in charge of gagging Duimovich's mouth.
Mandzukic is in charge of pulling back!
"Let go of me! Let me go! I curse them to death! ”
Dujmović did not give up.
Suke slammed Duimovich's chest and cursed angrily; "What's the use of you scolding the fans? Do they have a problem with liking the stars? What is the use of having the ability to earn fame by yourself and attract attention to yourself! ”
Dujmovic's face flushed.
He looked at Suke.
"I don't like it when someone slaps me in the chest."
Suke turned his head to look over.
Mandzukic stepped out.
"What did you say?"
Dujmovich was silent and turned away.
Mandzukic was about to chase after him, but Suke stopped him.
"He's not happy now, don't go, he'll figure it out himself."
Mandzukic nodded.
"Good!"
In the evening, Duimovic found Suke.
"I apologize! I'm just upset. ”
"There's no way!" Sucre; "Whoever calls them popular, the fame we tied up can't reach the toes of one of them."
"But fame is earned, through competitions and performances."
"It's easy to get the fans to cheer for you! Goal! Conquer Real Madrid's goal and you'll be praised by everyone! ”
Dujmovic's heart felt better, but at the same time he felt more guilty.
"I shouldn't have glared at you, I apologize again!"
Su Ke smiled: "The apology has been done, don't say anything about the apology." ”
Suke held up a finger.
"A Chinese meal!"
Dujmovich was stunned; "I still owe you four lunches!"
Suke nodded; "So it's five meals again."
Duimovich: "."
There is still a week to go until the arrival of Real Madrid.
During this time, the city of Zagreb was very lively.
Almost everyone is waiting for the arrival of this galactic battleship.
Even some ordinary citizens who don't usually pay attention to football began to line up to buy tickets, which provoked the fans of Dinamo Zagreb to scold.
I don't usually see such a positive thing, Real Madrid is coming, and one by one it is a net mess.
But scolding and scolding, the ticket still has to be grabbed.
After all, they also want to see the superstar.
A large number of Croats began to pour into the city of Zagreb.
More tourists from other places began to enter the city, and they were all for this game.
Real Madrid's first Champions League game of the season.
That's eye-catching enough.
What's more, under a series of publicity from Real Madrid, the game has begun to spread to the level of popularity.
Real Madrid fans arrived three days early.
They began to bomb the streets in the city of Zagreb.
They shouted slogans and swaggered through the market.
Citizens along the route were also driven by the atmosphere and began to chant the names of the stars.
Real Madrid is not yet here, but the city of Zagreb is about to be captured.
Finally, on September 15, the plane from Spain arrived at the airport in Zagreb on time.
The Galaxy Battleship led by head coach Camacho arrives in Zagreb.
The airport has already become congested, and as far as the eye can see, it is full of fans and media reporters.
Amid the cheers, the Real Madrid players, dressed in black suits and with the Real Madrid crest on their chests, walked out of the airport smiling at the fans and boarded the airport bus.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Spanish giants Real Madrid arrived at the airport, Ronaldo, Beckham, Zidane and other superstars under the leadership of coach Camacho are about to play the first leg of the Champions League group stage with Dinamo Zagreb.
Su Ke and the others sat together, watching the boiling scene on the TV.
Srna suddenly pinched herself.
"It feels a little unreal."
Srna turned; "Are we really going to play against Ronaldo, Zidane and others tomorrow?"
Suke nodded affirmatively.
The eyes of others were also bursting with excitement.
These are their childhood idols!
And now, they are actually playing in the same stadium as these people.
This would have been unthinkable a few years ago.
But now it's happening.
They are about to compete with these top superstars on the Champions League stage.
There was also a glimmer of fire in Su Ke's eyes.
From Bosnia and Herzegovina to Croatia.
For more than three years, Suker stood on the stage of the Champions League.
He stood across from Real Madrid.
Along the way, all the efforts, all the sweat is for this moment.
"Let's go, sleep well today, tomorrow's game will not be easy."
Suke got up and left.
Others are also going out.
At night, Zagreb is extremely quiet, as if it is recharging for tomorrow's excitement.
Modric sat in front of the poster on the wall, staring at Ronaldo carefully, happy and nervous at the same time.
Tomorrow, he'll meet a real person!
Moreover, they will play in the same game!
This night is destined to be difficult to sleep.
However, even if you can't sleep, you have to sleep hard.
For the next day's state.
For tomorrow's play!
At the same time, in order to show off their fangs!
They don't like to lose!
Even against Real Madrid!
They also have to fight and fight!
Following.
The wild vibe spreads in the city of Zagreb.
With the arrival of Real Madrid, it became the focal point of the whole of Eastern Europe.
