Inside a private room in a restaurant in Croatia.

Davao. Suker, Boban, Stimac and others gathered to congratulate Bilic on his appointment as national team manager.

Bilic is also very grateful to these friends, and it is because of their strong recommendation that he was able to stand out in this opportunity.

Without any nonsense, Bilic took a big sip of red wine as a sign of gratitude.

"The next test is for you, you still have a season to prepare!"

"Simunich and other old people are very dissatisfied with you."

"After all, there is a high probability that they will be screened out, and they definitely don't want to give up their position in the national team!"

"Kicking like this scumbag, and calling with faces, these guys are really shameless than the other!"

Everyone gathered, and they were also discussing the composition of the national team.

"Slavin, what do you think?" Boban asked.

As the coach of the national team, how to reorganize the national team lineup, Bilic has the most important say.

Bilic exhaled slowly; "I'll stay with Simunic, it's kind of to give those guys some face, but they also need to make concessions to my regrouping, the new Croatian national team, these old guys must be supporting actors."

Bilic can't get rid of all the national team players at once.

There are many complex issues involved here, and there are many stakes involved.

Bilic gave up some of his spots to satisfy those people's interests, but at the same time he also needed those people to compromise so that he could have room to play.

"Your idea is very good, if those people jump out, then we will have a good reason, the big deal is to poke directly into the media and see who the people will support!"

Stimac shrugged his shoulders, they were a golden generation, and they were confident in their influence.

"We all support Bilic, so those people will also choose to compromise" Davao. Suke asked; "So, what do you want to do?"

Bilic wiped his lips and said, "Suker and Modric, these two must join the national team, they are the foundation of my team!" ”

When Bilic finished speaking, no one spoke.

It was as if they had expected this outcome.

Davao. Suker smiled: "Suker has performed very well at the club, he has initially established himself, and it will only be more beneficial for him to enter the national team next season!" ”

Boban nodded; "It's the same with Luca!"

Neither objected, much to Bilic's relief.

Bilic is most afraid that these two will insist that Suker and Modric will still exercise and not release themselves.

Of course, he can also rob openly, but he will eventually cause some trouble.

"I don't want all of them, at least at the moment Suker, Modric, Srna, Vukojevic, Mandzukic are guaranteed to be in the national team, I will not disclose these selection issues now, and I will officially announce it to the media when the World Cup is over."

"They have to train in the European Championship qualifiers and Euro 2008, and the 2010 and 2014 World Cups are the time for them to make a difference."

"But I need some results to stabilize my position, so I try to perform as much as I can at the European Championships."

Bilic is still under a lot of pressure.

Croatia's form has been on a downward spiral since the 2002 World Cup.

Euro 2004 group stage elimination home!

In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the European qualifiers, also suffered elimination in the group stage and failed to qualify.

It can be said that after the 1998 World Cup, the Plaid Army has been going downhill, and now there is no way back.

Bilic had to enable these young people, the main thing is that the Mesozoic is really too wasteful.

Those people made him see no hope!

Fortunately, Suker and Modric and others grew up smoothly.

After the baptism of the five major leagues this season, this group of people can already be trained at the national team level.

Jingle bells!

Davao. Suke's cell phone rang.

Soon, the mobile phones of Boban, Shtimac, Jairni and others rang one after another.

The entire private room was filled with cell phone ringtones.

Davao. Suke picked up his phone, and on it was Suke's call.

"And voila! The monkey imp has already started to take the initiative to contact me! ”

Boban also laughed; "Lukka called me too."

Shtimac; "I'm Pranic!"

Bilic Road; "Don't give out any information, let them play club games with peace of mind!"

Inside the villa of the city of Milan, Suke.

Suker hung up and he couldn't get from Davao. Sooke pulled out any useful information from his mouth.

Suker immediately wanted to call Modric.

But Modric moved faster and took the lead.

"Luca!"

"Suke, did you call Davao?"

"Hit! The old guy lied, he said he didn't know. ”

"It's the same with Boban!"

"Pranic called me just now, and Stimac said the same thing, these old guys are definitely colluding."

Modric's eyes rolled; "Why don't I call Bilic?"

Su Ke grinned: "Forget it, you haven't been selected yet, you have to contact the coach in advance, this is not in accordance with the rules, and the relationship between us will become awkward." ”

"So just wait?" Modric scratched his head and said.

Suke sighed; "What else can I do? Wait, the results will come out after this season anyway, and all we have to do is show our performance and then let Bilic pay more attention to us when he picks people. ”

After the two discussed these issues, they didn't talk much.

Davao. Suker and others want them to play club games in peace.

But how can this be reassured, at least for now, their heads are full of questions about the composition of the future national team.

Is there a place for yourself?

What are the criteria?

What is the goal?

The national team break day arrived, and the AC Milan club was empty.

To be able to play for AC Milan is basically an international player.

Except for Suker, a player who has not yet entered the national team, the rest of them have to participate in the national team competition.

The World Cup, the European qualifiers, it's nothing short of a lavish feast.

At the 2006 World Cup in Germany, there were 13 places in Europe, but a total of 51 teams participated.

There are a total of eight groups, with the top team in each group and the two best group runners-up qualifying for the World Cup.

The remaining six groups are second in a home-and-away play-off, with the winner advancing to the World Cup.

Among them, there are many super teams such as England, Italy, Germany, France, and the Netherlands.

It can be said that although there are many places in the entire European region, it is also the most intense.

If you accidentally lose all the games.

Just like Slovenia, which is in the same group as Italy, played fiercely at the beginning, kicking overhead and almost overturning Italy.

But the silver fox Lippi is not in vain, after a long European qualifier, Italy still smoothly advanced to the final round and locked the World Cup place one round earlier.

As for Slovenia, due to their poor performance in the second half of the season, they missed the World Cup.

Norway then made a push and will enter the play-offs as the second place in the group for the next step in the battle for places.

As for Croatia, they were eliminated early with the fourth place in the group.

The week went by quickly.

When the AC Milan players returned, they were full of spring breeze.

Obviously, they were relieved that they were in the World Cup.

Although this is only the beginning, it is also a very important link for Gattuso and others.

Despite retiring from the national team, Maldini was still invited to the tournament as a guest, and Maldini's role was mainly to increase the confidence of these players.

Under many arrangements, Italy entered the World Cup very smoothly.

The World Cup problem was solved and the players were also focused on club competitions.

October 17, the seventh round of Serie A.

After a week-long hiatus, the league resumes, with AC Milan travelling to Cagliari.

In this game, Suker and Kaka started and played the whole game.

After Su Ke held back for a week, his overall performance was still very outstanding.

Suker set up a series of attacks for AC Milan and stabbed home in the 71st minute after receiving a pass from Inzaghi, shaking off the opposition centre-back.

"Goal!!! Sucre!!! ”

"In this game, Suker's performance was still so good, he not only became AC Milan's attacking engine in the front, but also completed a shot himself!"

"This super talent from Croatia, he has completely integrated into the AC Milan team and plays an extremely important role!"

Aldo. Serrera said excitedly; "I'm already looking forward to the next round!"

"Serie A strong dialogue, Juventus from Turin away to AC Milan!"

"With the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Trezeguet, Nedved, Cannavaro, Gianluigi Buffon and Piero, what can they do against AC Milan?"

"And will Suker be able to continue his crazy form against this Serie A powerhouse?"

"These will be the suspense of the next game!"

"On top of that, AC Milan are preparing to play PSV PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, and next week's schedule for AC Milan is going to be particularly tough!"

Facing strong opponents in the Champions League and league in a row has put a lot of pressure on AC Milan.

But at this time, AC Milan was strong.

Even if the substitutes are brought out, they can stand alone.

For this, Ancelotti is not worried.

For AC Milan now, they feel like they are at their peak in recent years.

The main team and the substitute two sets of lineups, can deal with many unexpected problems.

With the current AC Milan, even if there is a wave of injuries and a wave of waste, they still have a backup option.

Two lineups, both can be played, and they are very strong.
