Chapter 91 Standings

When I woke up, I was already lying on the bench in the locker room.Coach Cork called a stretcher and brought me in.At first they thought I was injured and fainted, but later they found out that I was just too tired, so coach Cork did not send me to the hospital, but asked the team doctor to check my body, and after seeing that there was nothing serious , Let them put me on the bench in the locker room and wait for me to wake up naturally.

When I woke up, the whole team was gathered in the locker room, celebrating this hard-won victory.Hleb's strength is indeed astonishing. In this battle, he alone posed a great threat to our defense.He beat the two of us by himself - the red cards for Handanovic and Brechko were thanks to Hleb.However, no matter what, we were still brave enough to defeat the Belarusian team in a 9-on-11 situation today, and the whole team owes a lot to this first tough bone!
However, in today's game, the red cards of Handanovic and Brechko were all due to my insufficient defense against Hleb. My defense is still not as strong as a professional midfielder. After all I started as a striker and was born halfway as a defensive midfielder. Although I have a very powerful defensive weapon such as "wave tackle", my skills in winding, position selection, judgment... etc. are still not comparable to Compared with real midfielder players.If it weren't for my mixed performance in this game, it would not have been so difficult for us to win, and our loss in personnel would not have been so great... I am very aware of this, so, I went to Coach Cork and said, "I'm sorry, Coach, it was so difficult for us to win today because of me... Also, the next game against Holland, we lost Handanovic and Brecko, it's all because of me. Because of my defensive misplacement, I am sorry and I am willing to take responsibility for it..."

Coach Kok was not as depressed as I was. He smiled and said to me: "Zago Yeruhovic, this victory was achieved by each of us with all our strength. You are also responsible for winning the game. Although it was very difficult for us to win, please don't deny your achievements. You are one of us and a player of our Slovenian team! You should think, If it weren't for your wave tackle, Hleb might have scored five goals. If it weren't for your beautiful goal, we can only accept the bad situation of being tied by Belarus at home. But now , we have three points, we are the winners! You should believe in yourself, you are heroic and great, everyone does not blame you, but thinks that you are our hope to continue going forward!"

"Yes, you are our hope to go on!" I heard a generous voice behind me saying to me.I looked back - isn't that our great goalkeeper, Handanovic!

"Brother Handanovic, I'm really sorry today. Due to my mistake, I didn't defend Hleb. You were forced to foul and received a red card... Please forgive me!"

"Ah, Zago Yaruhovic, where did you listen to what Coach Koke said just now. No one is blaming you, mistakes are inevitable on the football field, and you are not only mistakes, you have also made mistakes. Many successful defenses! If it weren't for your interception of Hleb in the midfield, I wouldn't have had so much leisurely time in the back. Hahaha." Handanovic is really a good man Brother, although he is the only superstar of our Slovenian team, he takes good care of me, a new young player like me, and persuades me with good words.My mistake caused him to be sent off with a red card, but he didn't care about it at all, but he used hearty laughter to dispel my nervousness and anxiety.Such a big brother is really a role model for me to learn from!

"Ahhh, actually I'm not blaming you, hahahaha, Zago Yeruhovic." This is Brecko's voice: "I was also given a red card by you, but I'm the same as Handanovic , I don’t blame you! Your performance today has actually made us feel quite wonderful. I really didn’t expect that your speed could be so fast. If it wasn’t because of your timely return defense, and your so-called ‘waves’ Tackle' is powerful and reliable. I think I might have been blown away by that Hleb long ago. Coach Cork asked you to play as a midfielder before, but I was actually against it. You have speed. The waist wasted your speed, unexpectedly it is still very useful in actual combat hahahaha. Little brother, I am optimistic about you!" Brechko's big laugh reminds people of the sea, so gentle, so broad-minded!Unexpectedly, in the Slovenian national team, I met so many good teammates who are so outstanding and united!
"Come on, Zago Yaruhovich, don't be moved there. Now here is the current instant standings of our group. One hour after our game, all other games in the group are over. Let's see Take a look at our points and analyze how to play the next game!" Captain Cesar is worthy of being a general, and he always considers things a step ahead of others.When we were still immersed in the last game, he had already begun to anticipate the content of the next game.On the court, he is also a tactical expert for our defense line. The structural design of the defense line was researched and designed by him and coach Cork.Now he took out the standings, and all of us gathered around to watch.

"Look, this is our standings. Our Slovenian team defeated Belarus 3:2. The current group points are three points, the goal difference is one goal difference, and the number of goals is three. Since we have a bye in the first round, our opponents Most of them have already played two games, only Luxembourg has a bye in this round, so like us, they only have points for one game. At present, the Dutch team has won two games in two games, winning Luxembourg and Bulgaria successively, with 6 points in the group First, Romania has one win and one tie. They won Albania and Bulgaria, temporarily ranking second in the group. Although Slovenia only played one game, they won Belarus and ranked third in the group with three points. Then there are three teams They all only have 1 point, Albania, Bulgaria and Belarus respectively. In the end, Luxembourg ranked last with 1 loss and 0 points. However, you should pay attention to the results of the game-although Luxembourg currently only has 0 points, it is the only game they have played It was a 0:1 loss to the Netherlands. This team was originally recognized as a weak team, but the Netherlands was in a cold sweat in the first game. Underdogs, when we face teams that look inferior to us in the future, we must not let our guard down! Now, first of all, let us start with the opponent in the next game—the Netherlands, and create our way to promotion!"

"Okay! We will fight the Netherlands to the end!"

"Let the Dutch see Slovenia's determination!"

"We're going to explode! We're going to explode!"

"Hahahaha, let's work hard together! Everyone is a good partner!"
