Chapter 1: Assemble! Croatia! (One more begging for subscription!) )

The time entered June, and the major leagues and cups ended one after another.

After a season's hard work, a few families are happy and some are worried.

Alex Ferguson's Manchester United were undoubtedly the biggest winners, not only winning the league title, but also the Champions League to complete the double.

Just one step away from Ferguson being able to replicate his treble-winning feat in the past.

However, based on the fierce schedule of the league and the Champions League, Manchester United gave up the FA Cup early, which also paid for a very good season success.

Barcelona are the talk of the town in Europe at the moment, with Pep Guardiola's Barcelona being beaten by AC Milan in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Although they lost the game, they also almost crippled AC Milan and failed to make it through to the semi-finals.

Based on Barcelona's performance this season, many are also expecting them to be in better form next season.

The decline of Serie A has become an established fact.

The Serie A giants who once swept Europe have become weak one by one, and even those as strong as AC Milan are rapidly declining.

They have even lost a lot of hot spots, and if it weren't for the support of enough influential stars such as Suker, Kaka, and Ibrahimovic, they might really be sinking.

The season is over, but the fans are even more fanatical.

The reason is simple!

The quadrennial European Championship is just around the corner!

The 2008 European Championship in Switzerland and Austria will officially start on June 8.

At present, European teams have traveled to Switzerland and Austria to prepare in advance for the group stage of the European Championship.

There are a lot of favourites for this tournament.

Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Croatia!

Italy are the oldest European powerhouses, having also won the 2006 World Cup, and are currently seeded to do so.

The influence of German tanks in Europe is also very large, and the German team led by the god of war Barak has absorbed new blood such as Podolsky, Ram, and Schweinsteiger, can they show stronger combat effectiveness.

Spain's strength is due to Barcelona and Real Madrid, these two clubs form most of the main force of the Spanish national team, coupled with the prevalence of passing and control, and the wonderful style of play, which has won the expectations of many fans.

Portugal is led by Figo, with the younger generation at the helm of Cristiano. Ronaldo.

Especially the latter, this season's league and Champions League double golden boots, and even won the Champions League, which can be said to be in the limelight.

The heat in Greece came in 2004!

In that crazy summer, Greece staged a mythical journey to win the championship.

Wobbly but solid in their footsteps, they beat hosts Portugal in the final to win the European Championships.

Finally, Croatia!

This is also the team that has been widely watched in the European Championship.

Davao. Suke, Boban and others started Croatia's golden generation.

But in just four years after their retirement, the land of Eastern Europe has given birth to a group of talented stars.

The Croatian national team led by Suker and Modric is the hardest nut to bite in this European Cup.

Their style of play is passionate, swift and resolute.

The performance in the qualifying stage of the European Championship was even more impressive.

Despite not reaching the level of seeding, they are definitely one of the favourites.

Croatian TV, European Cup channel.

After the end of the league, Croatian TV set up a special 'European Cup program'.

Together with the fans, they analysed the pre-match situation, the various possibilities for development, and welcomed the hot summer with them.

Compared to the terrible European Championship in 2004, this year's Croatian fans can be said to have high expectations.

"This is the European Championship Advance Channel, and I'm the commentator Klašiwicz!"

"First of all, let's take a look at the latest national team list issued by the national team coach Bilic!"

"The forward line is led by Suker, Borussia Dortmund's top scorer Mandzukic, Dinamo Zagreb's Jelavic"

"In midfield, there are Champions League-winning midfielder Luka Modric, Schalke 04 midfielder Rakitic, and Lyon's lone midfielder Vukojevic."

"The backline is even more gorgeous, Southampton's Pranic, AC Milan's Simunic, Dortmund veteran Robert Brown. Kovac, Inter Milan's Srna, AC Milan's Simic"

Reading the list, Klašiwicz's eyes were bent into crescents, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

This is his favorite part.

Looking at a large number of players who play in Europe's top five leagues, including two Champions League winner-level players, Suker is the Golden Ball and the World Footballer of the Year.

The most important thing is that these two are not puzzle players, but real frontcourt and midfield core.

Even the bench is extremely strong.

This is also the point that Krausivic and the Croatian fans are most excited about.

This Croatian national team is competing in an international tournament for the first time.

But it is definitely the strongest set of teams in history.

Croatian fans are also waiting in front of the TV, the show is broadcast every day, and the latest hit is the return of the internationals.

Previously, the internationals had already returned.

Suker was delayed for some time due to the Coppa Italia final, and was considered the latest to return to the team.

But even if Su Ke was alone, the program team still connected the broadcast camera to the airport and filmed the whole process of Su's return to China.

Soon, the camera became noisy.

The crowd gradually boiled.

After a while, cheers rang out.

Sucre!!!!! ——

Sucre!!!!! ——

Sucre!!!!! ——

The Croatian fans gathered at Zagreb airport raised their hands and cheered.

Exit from the airport.

Suker has already walked out wearing the training uniform of the Croatian national team.

Click! Click! Click!

The flash flashes continuously.

Suker, escorted by security personnel, walked out of the crowded airport.

He couldn't respond to the agitated fans, and if things escalated further, there could be riots.

To this end, Suke walked in a hurry.

Take the business car prepared by the national team, drive out of the crowd, and go directly to the national team training center.

"Suke! Over here! ”

The entrance to the national team training center.

Boban stood there, beckoning to Suke.

Suke walked over with his suitcase in tow, and the two hugged cordially.

Although the relationship is not so good, it is still necessary to pretend.

"You're finally here, and tomorrow we're going to Switzerland."

Boban said with a smile.

Simic, Simunich and others had already arrived a day early.

Suk was delayed for a day.

Looking at Su Ke's puzzled gaze, Boban smiled and said: "I am the leader of this European Cup, of course, I am at your service, you only need to put all your energy into the game, and anything else can be told to me." ”

Su Ke was surprised: "Congratulations! ”

Boban smiled, and the two walked into the training center, and as they walked, they introduced:

"The national team roster hasn't changed much, but there is also a new one!"

Boban said.

Sooke turned his head; "Got a new guy?"

Boban nodded: "This is also the result of Bilic's many observations, and he thinks it is necessary to let him participate in this European Championship, although he will not play too much, but he can become our fighting force in the future." ”

"Who?" Suke asked.

"The youngster who is currently playing for Hajduk, Ivan . Perisic. ”

It's him?

Suke was surprised.

For Perisic, Suke's impression comes more from memory.

Perisic in the future, the Sabre is definitely a sharp edge in Croatia's attack.

However, Perisic is still a little too small now.

Led by Boban, Suke came to the dormitory.

The players should all be at the training ground, and Su Ke also hurriedly put down his luggage, picked up his equipment, and turned around and walked towards the training base.

"Here!"

"Pass!!"

"Tommy! You're jerking off again! ”

Dujmovic kicks the ball high off the training ground.

People's eyes move with the ball.

When the ball is about to touch the bottom, a figure appears at the landing point, leaning back slightly and holding the ball up with his chest.

Face the ball in mid-air and pump it directly into the sky.

The ball took on a parabola and crashed into the middle of the pitch, smashing into Dujmovic's head.

Dujmovich gritted his teeth: "Suke! You're mua."

Suke stuck out his tongue and grimaced, shrugging his shoulders again.

Others burst into laughter.
