Chapter 21 Countdown (Two More Subscriptions!) )

"Luca! Congratulations! ”

"Champions League winners! You've got both! ”

"Mario, doesn't Bayern want to poach you too?"

"They just want to get me as a substitute and indirectly weaken Dortmund, I'm not that stupid!"

The crowd gathered around Sook and chatted.

When Suker returned, he naturally became the center of the team.

In the past, this feeling was not very strong.

But with Suker winning the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year, his fame and influence have become the biggest player in Croatia, and the players have naturally accepted it.

Of course, there are some people who are not convinced.

Perisic, for example.

Perisic stands alone in the corner, and since he joined the national team, the progress of integration into the national team has been slow.

The current Croatian national team, to put it bluntly, is the second team of Dinamo Zagreb.

The main players and players are all from Dinamo Zagreb.

For this reason, Perisic, a player from Haiduk, seems a little lonely.

Of course, he didn't take the initiative to get in touch and get along.

Perisic's gaze was fixed on Suke.

Four years have passed quickly.

When he first saw Su Ke, the situation at that time was that Su Ke was beating his old captain wildly.

Perisic at the time also vowed that he would inevitably surpass Suke.

It can be said that Perisic at that time regarded Suker as a stage goal.

But four years have passed.

The gap has not narrowed at all, and has even widened.

He also played for Haiduk, who has become the heart of AC Milan's attack, a team of Champions League winners and a Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year.

This milestone seems to have become a lifelong goal, and it may not even be able to catch up in a lifetime.

But. Disobedience is disobedience.

Suker turned his head to look over, and he also saw Perisic.

The latter turned his head over and pretended to be training.

"What's going on with that guy?"

Suke asked, looking at Perisic.

Although the Croatian national team is all from Dinamo Sallegb, it has no intention of excluding players from other backgrounds.

If you enter the national team, you are the national team, they are all teammates, and they won't do anything like a small gang.

Maybe the circle led by Suker is more intimate, but it will not affect the decisions of the coaching staff, and even put pressure on the other players.

For this reason, although it is not the same mind of everyone, it is not to the extent of isolation.

But now Perisic is somewhat isolated.

"That guy has such a stubborn personality!" Mandzukic pouted; "We invited him to party and the guy refused, and the second time he was invited to train with him, he also refused."

Dujmović; "It's too pretending, now it's okay, let him pretend to be forced, we don't care about him."

Even Modric frowned: "He's not very easy to contact." ”

Suker looked at Modric in surprise.

The rest of the people are fine, if Modric says that, then Perisic really has a problem.

However, if there is a problem, there is a problem.

Individually, they take the initiative to run in based on the needs of the team, and they are not used to Perisic.

Soon, the training began again.

Suker and others trained together, and Perisic was still alone.

Simunic also played for Hajduk, and Perisic is his younger brother, and he has tried to persuade Perisic, but it didn't work.

This guy is so stubborn!

It's good to have character, but it's not okay to be stubborn.

In the team's training match, Perisic played very confused, no one passed the ball to him, no one cooperated with him.

After kicking for a while, he didn't know what to do.

On the other hand, Suke is firing on all cylinders.

From the start of the training match, Suker kicked the starting goalkeeper Pletikosa with one foot and his mentality was about to collapse.

After Suke got into the fourth, Pletikosa just picked it up.

"If you don't kick, if you keep playing, I'm going to lose my form."

Pletikosa looked melancholy.

How hungry Suker is for scoring goals!

It was a training match and Suker played like a game.

In fact, Suker did get on the move.

In the league, in order to cater to the rhythm of Milan and the fitness of the veteran players, Suker has to press himself many times.

Obviously, you can force it, but you can only stand in position.

Obviously, he counterattacked directly, but he was afraid that his teammates would not be able to keep up, so he could only pause.

There were many such cases, and Su Ke felt uncomfortable in his heart.

For this reason, after returning to the national team, Suker began to be released.

Here, he doesn't need to slow down the tempo of his teammates, he can run and press as he wants.

The most important thing is that your teammates can keep up.

Croatia's team-mates are young and they are all good runners.

For this reason, Suker kicked and kicked hard, and directly kicked Pletikosa to the point of not doing anything.

"Cool!"

After the fifth goal, Suker let out a long exhale.

He turned his head to Modric and gave a thumbs up to the last assist.

Modric smiled and nodded in response.

On the other side, Perisic stood blankly in the middle of the pitch.

He had no idea what to do.

It wasn't even after the training match that he came to his senses, when his teammates walked to the cafeteria in groups of three or five, ready to finish eating.

And he also lowered his head and left the court alone.

"In the group stage, we only need to get rid of Germany, and the form of qualification will be clear."

"The stereotypical German is still solid on defense!"

"What are you afraid of! What about me? ”

Mandzukic said with a look of vigour: "I can score two goals in Bayern Munich every season, and it's up to me when the time comes!" ”

The crowd looked disdainful.

"Forget it." Dujmović complained; "We didn't say anything on the 9th."

Mandzukic: "Dead sub, not qualified to interject!" “

"It's better than your 'kangaroo' who can only head the ball."

Mandzukic is nicknamed Kangaroo in the Bundesliga because he is always on the jump.

"You're still the king of wave shooting, just your long shot, aiming at the stands!"

"Lao Tzu scored five long-range goals this season!"

"That's right! Five long-range shots! And only five goals! ”

"You watch the Russian league!"

"Nonsense, Lao Tzu is watching the game and waiting to humiliate you! Litter! ”

Mandzukic and Dujmović are constantly bickering.

It's also a way of slapstick.

In other words, almost the entire Croatian team likes to 'quarrel' with Dujmovic.

This guy has a tough mouth, and he has a stupid mouth.

Mandzukic couldn't even say it, let alone Suke and the others.

Modric watched the two arguing, turned to Suker and said, "I'm not worried about the group stage. ”

Su Ke also nodded.

Although Germany was strong, the remaining two Austrias, as well as Poland, were clearly out of gear.

The performance in the qualifiers was not very strong either.

Of course, this is also for Croatia and Germany.

It can be said that the strength of Group B of the European Cup is showing a fault.

Croatia and Germany are definitely the first tier of powerhouses.

Poland and Austria are more of the third and fourth echelons.

Suker thinks the same thing as Modric.

"But you also need to be careful, after all, it is a single game!"

The European Championship is not like the Champions League, which has a double round-robin of home and away matches.

There are a total of four groups in the European Championship, with a single round-robin, and after three games, the top two points advance directly to the quarterfinals for the knockout round.

The knockout round is also a winner-winner.

The European Championship will only be played for a month.

The schedule is intense and thrilling.

It can be said that any small impact can make a huge difference.

For this, Croatia also needs to be careful, careful and careful while maintaining their form.

On June 2, the Croatian team assembled in the center of the training base, and after getting dressed up, they took a bus to the venue of the European Championship.

Along the way, it can be called the attention of the whole country.

The main road is blocked, the iron horse is open, and the police car surrounds the escort.

On the road, a large number of fans gathered on both sides, and when the bus appeared, the cheers were deafening.

Even a little more than a 10-minute drive from the airport, the sides are already lined with fans from all over Croatia.

They painted their faces in the colors of the Croatian flag, dressed in fancy dress, and looked fanatical.

Along the way, there were constant cheers and applause.

Until the Croatian national team players entered the airport, these fans were still cheering loudly.

They cheered for the warriors of Croatia.

These are the warriors who are about to fight for the small country of Croatia.

They carried the expectations of 4 million Croatians and set foot on the battlefield that belonged to them.

Euro Cup! It's time to countdown!
