Chapter 881 My Story Is Not as Exciting as Yours (First Update, Please Subscribe!)
The European Cup qualifiers are over, and Croatia has achieved its goal of qualifying for the European Cup as the first in the group.
Although there is still one game left, for Croatia, the win or loss of this game is no longer a big deal.
Moreover, Besic also said that the next game will use substitutes, and it is likely to be training.
After the game, the Croatian players once again gathered at Suker's manor for "team building".
This time the team building was kicked out by Srna, mainly based on the two people below Simunic and Kovac, which made the atmosphere in the team a little awkward.
Of course, Simunic did not intend to communicate with Vida and Lovren, but Kovac did not seem to mind it particularly.
Perhaps it was because of his older age that he was a little overwhelmed.
Watching Simunic get up and leave the table and go to the bathroom.
Taking this opportunity, Mandzukic asked:
"Why do you and Simunic have completely different attitudes?"
Kovac looked at Mandzukic and smiled; "Maybe I'm relieved?"
"Simunic has also played for a giant team like AC Milan, and his decline in form has only happened recently. Facing many accusations and doubts, he naturally subconsciously wants to fight back. I have had such a time, but I'm too old! And it's too tiring to play football with your rhythm. I'm no longer suitable for playing too high-intensity games!"
In the 2010 World Cup, veteran Kovac almost lost his life.
With Srna injured, they shared more defensive pressure, and the pressure was even greater.
Especially in the last few games, the game was so intense.
"He will figure it out!" Kovac said with a smile, looking at Mandzukic and said: "What did you do? How did Perisic and his team take away the championship?"
Kovac was obviously referring to Bayern Munich and Dortmund.
Last season, Dortmund won the Bundesliga championship in the 2010/2011 season, breaking the dominance of the Southern King over the Bundesliga, which made Bayern Munich lose face.
Mandzukic was also a little embarrassed.
He just left, and Dortmund won the Bundesliga.
Whoever encounters this will be embarrassed!
"Dortmund is very strong now!" Perisic suddenly said; "Our team is very integrated, and the integration has been completed in the past two years. It is natural for it to explode."
Everyone nodded slightly.
Suk was eating meat while thinking about this question.
Dortmund is really strong now!
In 2008, Jurgen Klopp joined Dortmund, and Dortmund started the road to counterattack.
In fact, at the beginning, Bayern Munich and Hamburg both wanted Klopp to coach.
But in the end Bayern chose another Jurgen!
Hamburg disliked Klopp's sloppy image and chose other head coaches.
When Klopp came to Dortmund, the club was on the verge of bankruptcy, with a debt of up to 125 million pounds. The former coach Thomas Doll led the team to only 13th place.
But even in this situation, it took only two years for Klopp to turn the situation around and snatch the championship from the mouths of Bundesliga powerhouses such as Bayern Munich, Leverkusen, and Schalke 04.
In the past two years, Dortmund has also made small signings.
Lewandowski, Gotze, Reus, Perisic, Hummels, Subotic, Shinji Kagawa, Smelzer and Gundogan, etc.
These future well-known stars are all brought by Klopp's small signings or free signings.
These players alone are enough for Dortmund to make a lot of money, not to mention that Dortmund also won the Bundesliga championship.
Moreover, Dortmund's impact will continue this season.
After all, it was Klopp who formed the "youth storm" that swept across the European continent.
Moreover, this ‘storm’ will be more powerful than the impact of the Young Guards at all times in history.
Suk believes that Bayern Munich’s loss is not unfair!
Moreover, Bayern Munich’s focus in the Champions League in the past two seasons is on the Champions League, and their pursuit of the Champions League is more intense than in the original time and space.
“Dortmund is a team of young people after all, and we have experienced this before.” Modric grinned; “We were taught a lesson by AC Milan at that time!”
Mandzukic grinned; “I really hope that they will meet Real Madrid in this year’s Champions League.”
He looked at Suk and said, “Help me teach them a lesson.”
“You were knocked down yourself, why are you looking for revenge on me!”
Suk rolled his eyes.
In fact, Dortmund may be playing in the Champions League for the first time. There are too many young players in the team, which leads to acclimatization and failed to break out of the group stage this season.
Of course, this is not an absolute thing.
“Your fourth Golden Ball Award should be stable, right?” Srna suddenly said.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Suk again.
There was a hint of emotion in their eyes.
Since meeting Suker, this guy's performance has always been extraordinary.
At that time, they believed that Suker would become an amazing star.
But this guy has already won three Ballon d'Ors. Last season, Real Madrid won the treble. It was also a non-international season, and the Champions League index for the Ballon d'Or was very high.
Given Suker's performance and various indicators, the fourth Ballon d'Or is almost certain.
How many teams get one, and they can laugh in their sleep, but this guy is already rushing for the fourth.
This gap is simply too big.
"Stop talking about this." Suk waved his hand; "I don't want to provoke you."
"You have already provoke us with this sentence." Duimovic curled his lips; "Pretend!"
The others smiled slightly bitterly.
Modric also shook his head.
When the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year were separated, there were still people who had the opportunity to share the trophy with Suk, but now the two trophies have been merged, and there is no chance to share the trophy.
The evening party was mainly for chatting, and no drinking was done.
So they dispersed quickly.
The next day, the players prepared to return.
Rakitic came directly to Suk's manor with his suitcase early in the morning.
He had booked this plane.
After Rakitic arrived, Srna and Kovacic also came.
The four of them drove to the airport and took Suk's private plane to Madrid again.
Although Rakitic kept asking if he could be sent to Seville, Suk just rolled his eyes.
The route he applied for was from Zagreb to Madrid. This guy treated the plane as a private car and drove it however he wanted?
After arriving in Madrid, Suker and the other three drove Rakitic to the train station before returning home.
When Suker came back, Zoranqi was already waiting in the villa.
"I watched your game, you played really well!"
Zoranqi immediately gave a thumbs up.
Suker raised his eyebrows; "How many days has it been? A week as agreed?"
Zoranqi said awkwardly; "Some things have been delayed!"
Suker frowned; "Negotiations are not going well?"
"No!" Zoranqi shook his head; "Negotiations are going well, I went to deal with other things, and now they have been dealt with."
After that, Zoranqi looked at Kovacic and said: "I found a house for you near the training base, and also assigned you a translator and Spanish teacher, and an Italian teacher. Next, in addition to training, you will also receive foreign language training."
"Learn two subjects at once?" Kovacic felt a headache.
One is already difficult, let alone learning two at once.
Zoranqi smiled and looked at Suker and said, "We will move out tomorrow."
Suke nodded and pointed at Kovacic; "Find a car for this kid and a driver."
With Kovacic's dull look, Suker was afraid that this guy would be sold in Madrid.
Zoranqi thought about it and nodded immediately.
After all, he can stay in Spain from time to time, and Suker is not the kind of guy who will help him take care of others.
The next day, in the training base of Real Madrid.
Mourinho stood on the sidelines with a stinky face, and the whole person exuded an atmosphere of strangers not to enter.
The national team game is over, and the national teams where his players are all achieved satisfactory results.
But the problem is that they are satisfactory, but Mourinho is injured.
Ramos, Arbeloa, Kaka, Benzema, Carvalho, and Marcelo were injured all the time.
Looking at the long list of injuries, Mourinho's heart is bleeding!
Although it is the adjustment stage at the beginning of the season, he will not work too hard or desperately.
But the problem is that with such a long injury list, he also feels difficult!
What's more, in the recent games, they have to play Valencia, Atletico Madrid and Sevilla in the league.
In the Champions League, Ajax, Lyon and Dinamo Zagreb are in the same group.
The most troublesome thing for him in the league is Valencia and Atletico Madrid.
Valencia has been threatening the status of Real Madrid and Barcelona in the past two seasons. It has been third for two consecutive seasons, and there is always a feeling of breaking out.
Although it was double-killed by Real Madrid last season.
But last season, their state, physical condition, etc. were all very good.
But after entering the beginning of the season, the pressure of squeezing during this period seemed to break out at once, causing many of their main players to be injured.
Assistant coach Faria saw Mourinho's livid expression and couldn't help but say: "We have to think in a positive direction. After all, it is the beginning of the season, and it is mostly a time for adjustment. The outbreak of injuries at the beginning of the season is not a bad thing. It is better than another outbreak of injuries in the second half of the season, right?"
Hearing this, Mourinho also exhaled slowly.
What Faria said makes sense.
Since the preparation stage of the season, the medical examination department has repeatedly informed Mourinho that the team is in danger of falling into an injury wave.
Mourinho has been worried about this!
Once this thing breaks out, the impact will be too great.
If it doesn't break out, it will be even more uncomfortable. There are hidden dangers of injury, but there is no injury, which is even more uneasy.
It's better to break out all at once, and it's at the beginning of the season. It doesn't matter if there are more draws and 1-2 games occasionally. In the second half of the season, when they are fully adjusted, they can also catch up with points.
As Faria said, the worst case scenario is an outbreak in the second half of the season.
At that time, they will be killed under the pressure of the Champions League knockouts, the league points battle, the King's Cup, etc.
Mourinho pursed his lips.
Or the bench is not deep enough!
If there are two sets of lineups, it doesn't matter how many injuries there are.
But so far, he has not been able to organize two sets of lineups.
"How is Suker?" Mourinho asked.
In this case, Suker must hold on to this thigh tightly.
This is a magical tool to prevent accidents!
Faria gave a thumbs up; "Very good! There are absolutely no hidden dangers."
Mourinho took a long breath.
This is the greatest blessing among misfortunes.
"In the next game, we will play Atletico Madrid away, so prepare well!"
After Mourinho said that, he turned around and walked out of the training ground, ready to think about tactics.
In the training ground, the day's training is almost over.
After the training was over, Suk and others returned to the villa.
After Suker returned, one of Benzema and Kaka injured his right foot and the other injured his left foot.
Two lame men walked into Suk's house on crutches.
"Can you two discuss whether one of you can be injured? If they are all injured at once, what should we do?"
Suk said angrily.
Benzema became even more irritable.
"That's what I knew, and I was very nervous throughout that game."
"How did you know?" Suk asked.
In addition to 'bringing down intelligence', this guy has also developed a brand new aura.
Benzema raised his left hand: "I don't have a bandage!"
"It has been ominous since the morning. I obviously brought a lucky necklace, but there was a cut in my bag, and the lucky color that day was blue, so I brought two pairs of blue underwear to wait for when I took them out. I noticed it was light blue and I forgot to take the bandage!”
Kaka turned his head; "You can ask the team doctor for a bandage!"
"I went to ask for it." Benzema said with a look of displeasure; "He didn't give it to me. There were two rolls, one to set the patella or fix the ankle, and one for emergency use. He said that I was not injured. It’s a waste to give it to me!”
Suk covered his forehead; "Then you got hurt?"
Benzema nodded; "That's right! Only ten minutes into the game, that bastard gave me a kick on my ankle."
Su Ke shook his head when he heard this. He looked at Kaka and said, "What about you?"
"My story is not that exciting." Kaka said; "I just had a recurrence of an old thigh injury, and I just rested for a few weeks."
Seeing Su Ke's increasingly ugly expression, Benzema suddenly said: "Yesterday, I went to watch the Atletico Madrid game!"
Suk and Kaka turned to look over.
Benzema touched his chin and said, "Last season, you remember the game when we almost lost to Atletico Madrid, right?"
Suk and Kaka nodded.
"That's not an accident." Benzema said seriously; "The Argentinian coach has good skills. Atletico Madrid now is not the same team as before!"
"The degree of overallization is very high, and the most important thing is the strong discipline. This is reflected in the return to defense after the attack. They will quickly pull back, and not just one, but a large area. Although we also emphasize discipline, But to be honest, it can’t be compared to Atletico Madrid!”
Benzema exaggerated; "They seem to have a unified idea, and everyone plays football very mechanically. Although they don't have much characteristics, the problem is too difficult."
Suk nodded.
There is no problem with Benzema's senses. This is Atletico Madrid, the team known as the iron-blooded Atletico Madrid.
Discipline is comparable to the army!
The offense and defense are uniform!
Of course, Atletico Madrid has not yet reached its peak. After all, Simeone has only taken over for one season.
But in the future, they will stick to you like a dog.
Suker has said before that the opposing team like Atletico Madrid must not let them gain a sense of superiority or confidence in victory.
Once this happens, their combat power will be doubled!
In the years when Atlético Madrid was most prosperous, other teams in European football, except Real Madrid and Barcelona, really couldn't control him.
Even Barcelona overturned repeatedly. Real Madrid relied on blood pressure to beat Atletico Madrid again and again.
In this case, Real Madrid can lose.
But they must not lose to Atletico Madrid. Once they taste the thrill of victory, these guys will play even crazier.
Of course, the good news is that Atletico Madrid's run-in is not enough.
It's just a look-alike at the moment, it's a piece of iron-blooded stuff.
Although still difficult to deal with, they will make mistakes if enough pressure is applied.
The three of them chatted for a while, but these two guys had no intention of leaving.
Su Ke: "Is it time for you to leave?"
Benzema and Kaká looked at each other.
"It's time for dinner!"
"A little hungry!"
“Feeling full is better for recovery!”
Seeing the two people laughing, Su Ke said, "I won't cook for a guy who doesn't take care of himself!"
Hearing this, the two of them immediately exploded.
Benzema: "We are injured and we are sad."
Kaka: "This is an accident!"
"fart!"
Suker cursed, pointed at Kaka and said, "You think I didn't watch that game? The bullshit relapsed because you kicked it in the head and fought the Uruguayan players to death."
"I'm 22 years old, 192 centimeters tall and 95 kilograms in weight! Why are you touching me?"
Suk glared: "Say! Are you injured?"
Hearing this, Kaka scratched his head in embarrassment; "I won't eat it!"
After that, Feiya seemed to leave on crutches.
Benzema asked curiously; "How did he get injured?"
Su Ke said angrily: "He kicked him in the head, and the shovelman shoveled himself and was injured."
Benzema blinked and couldn't help laughing: "His story is more exciting than mine!"
Suk rolled his eyes.
You both are pretty much the same!
In the end, Benzema didn't even get a supper.
Suker also thought that his teammates were injured, after all, professional players are guaranteed to be injured.
If he didn't have a recovery card, Suker would have to lie in bed most of the time because of the strength of those players guarding him.
But passive injuries and active injuries are two different things!
Suker was angry because Kaka was a blockhead and a stubborn ass.
He was obviously not the opponent in a head-on confrontation, but he still had to fight to the death!
During the Milan period, this guy had this bad habit.
At that time, his teammates gave him a nickname called "troublemaker".
Of course, that was when he was young and ignorant.
But now he is almost 30 years old, and he doesn't know how to use his brain. He competes with a 22-year-old kid physically, and the accumulated "experience" is all thrown away.
Once he gets excited, he doesn't care about anything and wants to beat his opponent.
The most important thing is that he hasn't won yet!
I guess he felt embarrassed, so he hid it from Suker and said it was a relapse of his old illness.
Suker knew exactly where Kaka was injured.
He had never heard that Kaka had an old thigh injury.
"You've learned to lie!"
Su Ke became even angrier.
