our euro cup

Chapter 203 The important thing is not to score goals, but to win

Although Italy is obviously closer to Luxembourg than Bosnia and Herzegovina, I had to return to the team first, practice with the whole team, and finally go to Luxembourg with the whole team.

Our training location is still in Sarajevo.Coach Susic has been waiting for us there for a long time. He already knows the current situation of the team well. He only needs to wait for all the players to be in place before we can start normal preparations.

Babarets and the others are still our team's reliance, but the status of our top five players in the team is becoming more and more important.When Coach Sucic and other teammates saw the five of us, they kindly called us the "Bronze Five" from the Japanese cartoon Saint Seiya.This implication is that the five of us can't be beaten to death, can't be crushed, and have explosive combat power, which really fits the temperament of the Bronze Five.

We also like the title of the Bronze Five Little Strong, so we accepted it seriously.From this moment on, we became the top five of the Bronze Team of Bosnia and Herzegovina!

Milo Ibisovic, Dzeko, Ibisevic, Misimovic, Pjanic, the names of these five people are already well known in Bosnia and Herzegovina.Although the core figures of our national team are still Barbarets and the others, as the new generation, the five of us have achieved a position in line with our strength.Next, we will use our performance in the national team to further consolidate our current status.Most importantly, we will also help the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina to defeat Luxembourg, Denmark, and any opponent in the group stage!
Either way, we're going to win.Whether it's for Bosnia and Herzegovina, or for myself, in order to complete the mission of Alostive, we have to win.Just during this period of time, several of us have been in very good condition in our respective teams. It is good news for Bosnia and Herzegovina to be able to bring such an excellent club state to the national team.

Luxembourg is the worst opponent in the entire group, but they are not a team that can be easily defeated.In the last game, Luxembourg almost had an upset. If it weren't for Thomason's two goals in stoppage time, Denmark might have been tied by Luxembourg at home.You know, Denmark is the only team in our group that has won the European Cup. Even the Danish team was able to almost draw, which shows the combat effectiveness of Luxembourg.Our Bosnia and Herzegovina team is far inferior to the Danish team. With Denmark almost capsized, we can't easily say that we will definitely win against Luxembourg.

Everything needs to be known after the game is over, the outcome, or the ranking.Before the game, no one would think that Luxembourg could not beat Bosnia and Herzegovina, because football is round and any team has the qualifications for an upset.Even the world champion French team, didn't they only beat the underdog Chinese team 1-0 in the warm-up match?
What coach Sucic instilled in us during this period is also the same point of view: Luxembourg cannot be underestimated. After all, they are a European team, and it is well known that there are no underdogs in Europe.Although they have not entered the main match of the European Cup, nor have they entered the World Cup, but in the group stage of the World Cup or European Cup qualifiers, the best result among them has also won No.3.It can be said that they were only one step away from the World Cup or the European Cup.

……

After a few days of training in Sarajevo, we flew to the tiny country of Luxembourg.Although this country is small in size, it is actually the richest country in Europe.Luxembourg has a lot of cathedrals and the top culture in Europe. Their football is only because of the small population base that they cannot select enough outstanding players.However, they not only have very good physical fitness, but also have very smart minds. In terms of technical and tactical execution, they are actually very high-level.

It was already late when the plane landed at the Luxembourg airport.We took the bus provided by Luxembourg to a very luxurious training base.In that training base, the dormitory building of the players is as beautiful as a palace, but the training base itself has only one court, but the environment is very elegant. There are many green trees planted beside the court, and behind the training ground , It turned out to be empty, there is a very beautiful mountain.

It's my first time in Luxembourg, I asked other partners, they are also first time.Among our team, it seems that the only one who is not coming to Luxembourg for the first time is coach Susic.When he was a player, he seemed to have led the Yugoslav team to Luxembourg to play a game and returned with a big victory.After that, the Yugoslav teams basically never went to Luxembourg again.It wasn't until later that the country was divided that several republics of Yugoslavia were in the same group as Luxembourg in the European Cup or World Cup qualifiers in their own names, but as far as Bosnia and Herzegovina were concerned, this was the first time.

We have never seen such a beautiful training base. I am very surprised that we can invest so much in football.The level of football in Luxembourg is not high, but their love for football seems to be no less than that of any country or region in Europe.But their football does not seem to be a mass sport, but a plaything of the noble dukes of Luxembourg.They still adopt a constitutional monarchy system. There are a group of nobles and royal families in the country. In their eyes, football is the plaything of these nobles. They invest a lot in football and do not expect any return. OK.

Such an attitude is completely different from that of our Bosnia and Herzegovina team.On the contrary, because we have been devastated by war, we will fight for everything that can bring self-confidence to the nation.Among them, football is the biggest reliance. This is because people in Yugoslavia are very talented in football, so although Bosnia and Herzegovina are rare, their physical conditions are very suitable for playing football.This is also why Yugoslavia is called the Brazilian team of Europe. It is because our nation, as well as these countries, have many advantages in terms of race and football traditions!
As long as we can unite, we will be able to defeat all opponents.As long as we are united, we can create miracles.

However, the original Yugoslav team fell apart because of disunity.Now our Bosnia and Herzegovina team must not repeat their mistakes!
