Chapter 1089 Croatia and the Magic Flute

Latest website:

In last year's World Cup, two upstarts in football were born - runner-up Croatia and third-place Chinese team.

In fact, to say that Croatia is an upstart is a bit of an understatement. That year, I participated in the competition for the first time after moving my registered residence from the former Yugoslavia, and won third place in 1st place. The Grid Army is a traditional strong team, right?

After twenty years, Croatia finally changed its bronze medal into silver medal with all its efforts. Fate was that they were defeated by France, the gold medal player, both times.

During these two times, Croatia had a very rough life. It failed to make it past the qualifying rounds in four World Cups and died in the group three times. The five European Cups are not much better. They are quite miserable.

Without a hand to hold the bowl, three generations will be poor, and a bronze medal will fade away in ten years. As the so-called "curse of third place in the World Cup" has meant, Croatia has been in decline for twenty years. Zhuo Yang said: The Chinese team is the end of the curse because we are not a European team.

The day after the technical lecture, the world's second-largest Croatian player arrived in Hannover in a dusty state. The Grid Legion had a bye in the second round of Group E of the European Qualifiers, and the Chinese team made an appointment with them.

Although they have not met in the World Cup, the two teams have a tacit dissatisfaction with each other. The root of this comes from a sentence of former French captain Scar.

After winning the championship, Scarlet Saint-Ribery, who did not care about fighting, told the media: The game against the Chinese team is the most difficult, and the rest... haha, everything is fine.

Those who are about to retreat also have good words. The sentence "haha" was quite expressive, which made Croatia feel aggrieved by the loss and made the Chinese team unwilling to lose.

The Chinese team looked askance at Croatia: Did you not meet me, or else would you have entered the final? You get an eggplant.

Croatia stared at the Chinese team: If you have some energy and defeat France in the semifinals, we will be the champions, do you believe it?

What are you looking at? What are you doing!

Croatia was a relatively aging team during the World Cup. After winning the runner-up title, life still has to go on, and proper upgrading is necessary. Veterans such as Subasic, Mandzukic, and Joel Luka have faded out. This time, head coach Dalic has not recruited Lovren and Strinic, replacing them with some young people under the age of 25.

Of course, it is impossible for Modric, who is the same age as Zhuo Yang, to fade away, not even in this life.

"Lao Zhuo, I'm really looking forward to your return next season. To be honest, I can't wait."

Magic Flute's words are sincere, because since the rumors of Zhuoyang's return to Real Madrid, he has publicly expressed his joy in the media more than once.

When they were at Real Madrid in the past, Zhuo Yang had a good relationship with Magic Flute, and Zhuo Yang was one of the top four midfielders in the world. Because of the offensive attributes of the midfielder, Magic Flute was actually squeezed by Zhuoyang, forcing him to make more living in the attacking midfielder. But he was not dissatisfied because of this, after all, the status gap between the two was very different at that time.

There is still a gap, but Magic Flute is already qualified to wait at the same table as Zhuo Yang. After Zhuoyang returns to Real Madrid, he doesn't have to worry about being squeezed anymore, because this guy is now the front-end attacker, and the two of them complement each other.

Moreover, Real Madrid has been in decline in the past two years. Both La Liga and the Copa del Rey in the country have been tightly controlled by Barcelona. They lost to Manchester City twice in the Champions League finals, and this year they were eliminated by Jia Mansion on 1/8. As the core of Real Madrid, the magic flute is just one word - tired. He really hopes that Zhuoyang can go back, and he can hug himself comfortably. Two years of thighs.

"The matter hasn't been decided yet." Zhuo Yang said, "I won't make a decision until the summer."

Magic Flute's crow's feet straightened out: "What's there to hesitate about? Think about how much fun we had during those two years together. It was such a wonderful time. Who of the old brothers didn't miss you? Now the brothers are all old. If you don’t come back, I won’t have a chance to play with you in the future.”

Say more love words, and look at me more if you miss me. The Magic Flute recalls the turbulent years with affection, as if reminiscing about adolescence. Zhuo Yang was a little touched by Lao Sepi's true feelings.

"Magic Flute, we are just old, not dead. ... Of course, Real Madrid's future still depends on young players."

"Yes, yes, hahaha~" Magic Flute said with a smile: "Real Madrid's future belongs to the young people, Li Zimo and the others. Hahaha... Zimo, this kid, is not at all worried."

Talking about a bastard, here comes a turtle. Li Zimo, a kid from the Real Madrid echelon, saw the Real Madrid boss and his uncle chatting and ran over quickly.

"Brother Magic Flute, have you eaten?"

"It doesn't matter whether I eat or not. You can play well in the game the day after tomorrow. I will be happier than eating anything else."

Zimo blushed and said angrily: "The day after tomorrow...I won't go...I'm suspended."

"Hahahaha..." The magic flute burst into laughter upon hearing this. He watched the video of the battle between China and Germany the day before yesterday, and of course he knew that Zimo bullied Gundogan and got a red card.

It's so normal. Li Zimo is a famous troublemaker in Real Madrid's B team. He is stopped for at least five or six games a season. But even so, he is still far ahead in the top scorer list in La Liga, and he is a person that Castilla head coach Manuel Dias loves and hates.

It was just a red card in a friendly match and did not extend to the competition. Zimo was suspended for one game by the national football team, and it was Zhuo Yang's suggestion.

Uncle Zhuo said: "I will not correct your problem, but the national team cannot spoil you alone. In the future, whenever a red card is received for non-technical reasons, the national team will add an internal suspension to the original basis. The specific games will depend on the situation. Zimo, you are an adult when you join the national team, so you should take care of yourself."

"oh……"

The ones who can control Li Zimo in this world are not laws and rules, but his father Ke Zi and his uncle Zhuo Yang. The difference is that Ke Zi believed that a dutiful son would emerge from under a stick and beat his son like a gangster, while Zhuo Yang was a gentle man and did not take action.

"Brother Magic Flute, I'd better treat you to something to eat. You and I, Uncle Zhuo, haven't seen each other for a long time. You two have a nice drink tonight."

A night without words, a whole day without words.

At the AWD Arena in Hannover, the battle between China and Croatia started as scheduled.

In the first round of Group E of the European Qualifiers a few days ago, Croatia's new lineup was a bit surprising. They reversed and narrowly defeated Azerbaijan, a well-known weak team in Europe, at home 2:1.

What team is Azerbaijan? No one in the team plays in the five major leagues. Basically, apart from the natives who play in their home leagues, there are only a few naturalized players from the Spanish Second Division, the German Second Division, and the Czech Republic.

In the UEFA Nations League D level (the lowest level), apart from a small victory over the Faroe Islands, Azerbaijan was never able to win a single victory. Kosovo played against them just like Germany played against Kosovo.

The majestic Magic Flute, Rakitic, and Kovacic were all dominating the five major leagues, but they were exhausted at home and almost failed to win Azerbaijan. Croatia was ashamed.

In today's match against the Chinese team, they have to lose face.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju
