The European Championship qualifiers are in full swing.

So far, Croatia's Group E format has also become a bit confusing.

England, the strongest team in the group, suffered successive losses, while Croatia and Russia won back-to-back games.

England have drawn one and lost one of their last two games, especially after being held to a draw by Macedonia at home, and the overall pressure of public opinion is high.

It also forced England boss McClaren to start rescheduling his plans.

However, McLaren is also a good woman, and it is difficult to cook without rice.

Michael. Irving's serious injury has led to the 06-07 season being almost scrapped, and there are no plans to return at this time.

Rooney's high hopes were emotionally unstable and he missed the away game against Croatia, which also caused England to lose their impact up front.

Beckham is dying, and the midfield cannot be reconciled.

The current England team is a chicken feather.

Compared with England, which did not perform as expected, Croatia became the biggest highlight of the entire Group E.

It's been a long time since the Eastern European knights, the Plaid Legion, have performed so impressively in a national team event.

Despite being three rounds out, Croatia are in a state of clear excellence above any other team.

Even Russia, who performed well, only stole a draw in the first round when Croatia failed to reach the game.

That's right!

It's just stealing a draw!

This is the prevailing view in the European media.

This Croatian team is favored by many media and professionals, saying that they have a lot of potential.

Following Davao. In addition to Suker, Boban and others, they said that Croatian soil has once again bred a large number of talented players.

Croatia in this era is inevitably burdened with different missions.

Especially with the active performance of Suker, Modric, Mandzukic and others in Europe's top five leagues, the Croatian national team naturally attracts more attention.

On November 15, the Croatian team departed from Zagreb airport and headed for Jerusalem, the capital of Israel.

On the way to Jerusalem, Sukh saw that many of his teammates had already begun to pray and worship.

Jerusalem is a holy city of Western religion and has an important historical and religious status in its own right.

For players of faith, it would have been a pilgrimage.

On the plane, Mandzukic was praying.

When the prayer was over, Suke leaned in.

"If you release water because of religious beliefs, Lao Tzu will kill you!"

Mandzukic turned his head and said in surprise; "Why do you think that, my faith tells me to be brave and face all challenges, I will not release water!"

Hearing this, Su Kecai nodded and said that he understood.

In this game, Suker was a little more pressed.

Luka Modric fell into injury and missed the game.

Suker has a lot of work to do.

Despite Rakitic's good performance, both Vansted and Bilic believe that Rakitic cannot replace Modric's position and role.

Especially for Vansteak, who believes in Suker more than the unfamiliar Rakitic.

It is worth mentioning that based on his excellent performance against England in the last game, Vansteak has successfully joined Bilic's coaching team.

He is currently working as an assistant coach and is mainly responsible for tactical analysis and placement.

When arriving at the airport in Jerusalem and going through customs security, the whole process is very complicated.

And when the search is carried out, it is very strict.

There was already a long queue at the customs entrance, but the guys were still unhurried.

Bilic has gone up a few times, but it hasn't worked well.

These religious guys are very 'rigorous'.

Suke looked sideways from time to time, and the group slowly moved forward.

When it was Suke's turn, he looked at the security personnel in front of him.

Suker put his index, thumb, and middle fingers together and drew a cross on his forehead, chest, left shoulder, and right shoulder.

"May God's love, mercy and peace be upon you and give you warmth!"

Su Ke clearly saw surprise in the eyes of the security officer on the other side.

He finished praying in the same posture as Suk, sent a blessing, and let him go.

Suke quickly passed the security check and walked past the hustle and bustle of reporters and walked straight onto the bus.

After a while, the teammates also walked into the car one after another.

"First of all, let's be clear, drinking alcohol is not allowed here, and kissing between couples is prohibited in public"

Bilic got into the car and instructed some important things first.

Although many of these things are forbidden by athletes, he still emphasizes it responsibly.

Bilic was in charge, while Vansteak sat in the first row, looking down at the tactical board in his hand, thinking about the game.

Arriving at the hotel, many media wanted to interview Croatia.

But Bilic has pushed down all of these requests and will not conduct any interviews until he passes the European Championship qualifiers.

Do big things with a muffled voice!

Keep your head low before the game.

Don't set up a flag!

Don't talk big!

These are Bilic's guidelines.

The Croatian squad has arrived in the city of the tournament, which has made the Israeli national team nervous.

Although they have played a few good games before, they are also under great psychological pressure against the strongest Eastern European Riders in this group at this stage.

The only good news is that Luka Modric is injured and the Croatian midfield lacks a big player.

This also puts the Israeli players Benayoun and Baddir on a major task.

"You have to be careful against Croatia when they press high up! Don't get disrupted by the rhythm, and watch out for Suker at the same time! ”

Israel head coach Avram. Grant reminded.

This week's time Avram. Grant has reminded Suker of his threat on more than one occasion, and although the Israeli players have long understood this, he has repeatedly stressed it.

Clearly, Suker was too strong in that game against England and in the recent league and even the Champions League.

After explaining some of the threats, Avram. Grant said with a smile again; 'The good news is that Luka Modric is injured and Croatia are in a bit of a weakness in midfield and we can look for opportunities in that area.

Avram. Grant believes Croatia's midfield revolves around Luka Modric.

He admits that this United brain is really good, but Modric is injured, he can't play the ball at the back, and Suker has no one to pass the ball to him, so the threat will be greatly reduced.

Arguably, this is the best news for them so far.

On the other side, the hotel where the Croatian national team stayed.

Bilic sat on the bed, looked at the tactical board in his hand and sighed: "Luka's injury is really not good news, Rakitic has not been able to replace Luka's place yet." ”

Vansteak looked at Bilic, and he felt that this guy was just overly worried.

Croatia has Sukh, are you afraid that no one is available?

Suker is so versatile, it's a real jack-of-all-trades player.

He developed many of Suker's uses at Mostar Zlinski, and if he had time and the need, he even felt he could let Suker play as a full-back.

"Don't think about it." Vansteak Road; "You have Suke, what are you afraid of."

Bilic: "Suker is an attacking midfielder, he hasn't played in the heart of the playmaker. ”

"Kicked!" Vansteak Road; 'He played in Mostar Zlinski, at Dinamo Zagreb, although he didn't play a few games, but he played at left midfield!

"Is there one?" Bilic was surprised.

Vansteak nodded; "You see, that guy is more versatile than you think."

Perhaps it was Vansteryak's affirmative tone that reassured him, and Bilic didn't say anything more.

The time of the night passed quickly.

The next day, at 3 p.m., a stadium at the foot of the Holy Mount in Jerusalem.

The course has no name and is surrounded by bare monuments, like a scenic course.

On the road leading to the course, there is an arch with mottled walls that reveals the atmosphere of history.

Players from both sides will need to get off the bus and walk to the pitch on foot.

After all, the course is located at the foot of the Holy Mountain, and for this reason, it is also a matter of religious etiquette.

Suke has no religious beliefs, but he is also fully cooperative on other people's turf.

However, he couldn't understand that the Israeli national team's collective prayer before the game called this game a 'blessing experience'!

Suke felt like the guys were making excuses for themselves.

Winning is a glorious believer, carrying the grace of God.

If you lose, you run to church to confess your sins and ask for forgiveness, without thinking about subjective issues at all.

Anyway, after coming here, Suke felt uncomfortable anywhere.
