The first round of the European Championship qualifiers.

For the past four years, Croatian football has been deadly.

Many people are looking for hope for a new life, but in the face of repeated setbacks, they have stopped.

Blazevic succeeded, he led Croatia to the semi-finals of the World Cup, and in this way announced to the world that they were the Iron Horsemen from Eastern Europe, they were the Plaid Army!

This is also the first time that rhapsody has been resounded around the world.

Barridge failed!

In Bilic's opinion, Baric is not as unbearable as the media says, at least he really thinks seriously about how to save the Croatian national team.

It's just that the times he is facing are not in the blue.

Too old too old! The small one is too small!

Kranica also failed!

He failed because of indecision, unable to see the situation clearly, and lacking enough courage.

This also led to Croatia losing its qualification for the 2006 World Cup.

And now it's Bilic's turn.

Bilic rubbed his hands together, his mood slightly nervous.

As Croatia's golden generation, he accompanied the jersey all the way to the semi-finals of the World Cup.

We have experienced strong winds and waves, and we should be used to stress.

But he found out he was wrong.

It's a completely different situation when a manager is a player or a player.

As a player, he just had to play well and adjust to his condition.

In other words, he just needs to take care of himself.

Now, as Croatia coach, Bilic needs to take care of the overall situation.

He needs to be very good at the team, he needs to take care of the feelings and emotions of each player, he needs to make the team look their best.

The opponent in the first match of the European Championship qualifiers is Russia!

It was a formidable opponent and the first senior national team game for Bilic as head coach.

That's a lot more pressure than the Under-21s!

In 1998, then Croatian coach Blazevic shouted the slogan 'Knock out Germany' in the quarterfinals of the World Cup.

Then, they literally swept the Germanic chariot 3:0!

Looking back now, it was still a thrilling moment.

He admired Blazevic's courage and bravery, and now he does not dare to shout the slogan of overthrowing Russia.

The bus headed for your hotel in Moscow.

The bus was still noisy.

Simic turned his head to look over, and he saw Suke and the others chatting sideways, as if they were not going to a game, but to an outing.

Don't these guys know what nervousness is?

Simic listened.

Mandzukic Road; "Luka, what did the coach do with you just now?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Bilic puts me on the load!" Modric said in a low-key manner.

Mandzukic grinned and teased: "Did Mr. Bilic ask you to sort out the papers?" ”

In the past, they were always teasing Modric's body not to play football, but to work as a company clerk.

Modric raised his middle finger: "Mario, show me a little respect, if you want to score, you have to rely on me!" ”

Mandzukic tugged at Suker: "Someone wants to challenge Ling's offensive core position, can you bear this?" I can't stand it. ”

Suke glanced at Mandzukic.

This guy is going to stir things up!

Suke patted Mandzukic on the shoulder.

"Remember!"

He pointed to Modric and himself.

"We're both dads! Call Daddy! ”

The bus arrives at the hotel.

It is located in a central location in Moscow, close to the venue.

The arrival of the Croatian national team inevitably attracted the attention of the local Russian media.

However, Bilic adheres to the principle of 'do big things quietly' and refuses all interviews until the game is over.

Before the game, shut up.

The move-in procedure is about to begin, and it is time to divide the room.

The members of the Croatian national team worked in pairs and immediately formed a sleeping pair, leaving Mandzukic alone to stand in place.

"You've gone too far!"

Mandzukic shouted in dissatisfaction.

Su Ke: "You are too much, the snoring is loud, I used to be in a dormitory with you, and I can be woken up by you when I live on the second floor!" ”

Mandzukic's snoring is definitely a sonic weapon, affecting the quality of sleep of the players.

When Suker lived with Mandzukic, he also bought a soundproof ear bag.

Eventually, Mandzukic moved into the room with a coach.

The coach's face was full of bitterness.

Mandzukic is also the boss one who is not happy.

But soon, Mandzukic was smiling.

"Mario, come to my room in a moment!"

Bilic burst out.

This was a sight to behold for Mandzukic.

Bilic had just called Modric over on the front foot and put him on the job.

Now he is calling himself over again, is this to increase the tactical weight of himself?

Mandzukic smugly raised an eyebrow at Suke and the others, and walked away.

Inside Bilic's room.

This is a normal standard double room.

The two single beds are side by side, and the whole room is not big.

Bilic sat on the bed, a document in his hand, and gestured to the bed opposite.

"Sit down first!"

"Great!"

Mandzukic sat down and looked at Bilic with hopeful eyes.

Bilic looked at the information for a while, then suddenly sighed, looked up, and said; 'In the next game, you need to make some sacrifices.

Looking at Bilic's heavy look, Mandzukic suddenly became nervous.

"What sacrifice?"

At this time, Mandzukic's heart also became uneasy.

Do you want to change positions?.But where else can you play other than the center? Although he had played on the wing before, it proved useless in the end! Bilic wouldn't let himself play on the wing, would he?

"Don't be nervous." Bilic waved his hand, and he could see Mandzukic's nervousness.

"It's just a tactical change, and your position is still center!"

Hearing this, Mandzukic let out a long sigh of relief.

"In the past, I watched your matches during the Dinamo Zagreb period, and at the same time did some verification in training, and found that it is not impossible!" Bilic looked up and said; "Fulcrum center! You're going to have to be a wall in front of you! ”

Mandzukic immediately understood.

"You're going to let me go hand-to-hand?"

Bilic nodded; "That's right! We are facing Russia, they have a lot of experience in high-altitude bombing and hand-to-hand combat with the center, and it is difficult to rely on a traditional high striker to blow up the goal, so we need to mobilize the attack on both flanks, especially Suker on the left flank! ”

"I need you to play the ball for Suker, match his offense, distract him defensively, of course not to make you completely a fulcrum, you can have a chance."

Bilic was stunned for a moment.

He saw Mandzukic's eyes glow.

What's going on?

He was afraid that Mandzukic would not accept this tactical change, so he asked him to come over and explain in a serious manner.

After all, it was a newly formed team, and the relationship between them was not close enough.

For that, Bilic also needs to fully consider Mandzukic's feelings.

But this guy seems to be happy?

Mandzukic is indeed happy!

He was more than happy!

What the is this fulcrum!

It's Daddy!

Big Daddy!

Mandzukic walked out of Bilic's room with a smug face.

He walked down the hallway, and as he approached Suke's room, he heard laughter inside.

When he got closer, he saw the door of the room open.

He saw that Suker, Modric and others were talking and laughing.

In addition to these few who are often together, there are several other people.

For example, their national team members Simic, Pletticosa and Kovac

Everyone had a great time.

Mandzukic knocked at the door.

"Uh-huh!"

The people in the house followed the prestige.

"What kind of pose are you arranging for!"

Vukojevich scolded with a smile.

Su Ke: "You think you're a man by the door frame?" ”

Mandzukic immediately spoke up: "You give me some respect." ”

Immediately, he pointed at Su Ke: "Especially you! ”

Immediately afterward, Mandzukic was not shocking and died.

"Call Daddy!"

The room fell silent.

In particular, Suke was directly stunned.

He stiffly turned his head to look at Modric.

"This goods. Say what? ”

Suke's raised arms were trembling.

Modric was also stunned.

"He said, let you call Daddy!"

Suker's strong explosiveness catapulted straight from the bed, sprinting at 100 meters, and taking Mandzukic down with a grapple.

"The guts are fat!" Suke rode on top of Mandzukic and glared.

Mandzukic hurriedly said: "What you say, it's the father who passes the ball, and the grandson who scores the goal!" ”

After a pause, Mandzukic suddenly came back to his senses.

"Then you should call me grandpa!"

Suke was furious.

"Looking for death!!! ——”
