All-around center

Su Ke wants to learn a lot, but he can't take too big a step, he must take it step by step steadily.

Dawo Suk is very interested in teaching Suk, and he even wants to pass on all his experience, but this requires time to settle.

In the training ground on the other side, head coach Besic was also watching the lively scene in the stadium.

So far, Dinamo Zagreb's performance is good, winning both games, but this does not mean that they have no problems.

In fact, in terms of Besic's team building concept, the current Dinamo Zagreb team is still far behind.

Besic wants to create a team with a balanced offense and defense, but the current Dinamo Zagreb is absolutely strong on the offensive end, but there are some problems in the defensive part.

The defense as a whole failed to form a tacit cooperation.

There are also some filling problems between the midfield and the backcourt.

To give the simplest example, Dinamo Zagreb’s main attack is launched from the left wing.

Suker, Modric, Srna, this side corridor ensures Dinamo Zagreb's continuous attack and the delivery of artillery shells.

But the problem is that once these three people are promoted, no one is willing to retreat.

Generally speaking, when Srna sets up the side, Vukojevic has to retreat to cover the position, and Modric and Duimovic occupy the midfield one after another.

But Modric is always willing to move closer to the penalty area line, looking for opportunities to score.

Duimovic was also unwilling to retreat.

Vukojevic is located in the single defensive midfielder, and currently his ability cannot support key steals and interceptions in counterattacks.

If a single midfielder doesn't work, then use double midfielders.

Or let Modric retreat and let him play as a deep-lying organization.

The current midfield position of Dinamo Zagreb is V-shaped, and Besic is planning to invert this V to form a combination of central midfielder + two defensive midfielders.

On the one hand, it strengthens the defensive sweeping ability of the backcourt, and on the other hand, it provides rear organization points.

Modric will not be responsible for the offensive organization anyway, this is Suker's job.

This was also the inspiration given to Modric by Van Stryak, Mostar Zlinjski's head coach when he was playing in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Remove the heavy shackles from Modric and let him focus on midfield organization, rhythm, and transition points between offense and defense.

Thinking of this, Besic called the three people over.

"In the next week, there will be some changes in your positions. Luka and Vukojevic will play as double midfielders, and Duimovic will play as a central midfielder!"

Duimovich was immediately happy.

He prefers offense to defense.

But Besic's next words made him depressed.

"You have to run more in the frontcourt, especially front and back, and intercept and press more. Your job is to support Su Ke! Also, practice more long-range shots!"

Duimovich immediately withered.

At best, he is supporting Su Ke; at worst, he is acting as a bodyguard for Su Ke.

Obviously, Besic wants to ensure the absoluteness of the two organizational points in the front and backcourt.

Although it was unpleasant to be a bodyguard for others, Duimovich had no objection to being a bodyguard for Suk.

So far, Su Ke is definitely the best performer among them.

In addition to their fame, the two Sukes in the team are considered the backbone of the entire team.

Davor Suker's offensive finishing ability and Suker's offense on the left wing can also deliver cannonballs to the team again and again.

Besic's current idea is to first solve the rationality of the positions in each area, and then slowly work on the running-in problem between the front, middle and backfields.

After all, they are a newly formed team and cannot become fat in one go.

August 2nd, the third round of the Croatian League.

Dinamo Zagreb welcomes its third league match at home.

In this game they will face Istria 1961 at home.

Speaking of Istria 1961, it is definitely a cancer team in the Croatian League.

Known as the ‘turtle shell’ and ‘yellow card making machine’.

He has set a brilliant record of eight yellow cards in a single game. The key is that the yellow cards are evenly distributed among the players, and no one was sent off with a red card.

Istria 1961 likes to set up buses.

Whether it's home or away, they have a bus in front of the penalty area, relying on the extremely fast Mlina on the wing and high center Sopeq to form an effective counterattack.

Istria 1961 definitely has some experience in setting up buses. For this reason, in the case of away games, they actually made Dinamo Zagreb extremely passive.

".The game time has come to 70 minutes, and the score on the field is still 0:0. Istria 1961 still set up a bus in front of the goal. They occupy the position of the penalty area and do not give any chance to Zagreb. No chance of Namor threatening to shoot!"

Su Ke looked at the dense crowd of people in the restricted area and suddenly felt his scalp numb.

He could only transfer the ball to Modric.

"Is it fun to play football like this?"

Suk couldn't help but complain.

But regardless of whether they meant it or not, these guys really resisted.

Dinamo Zagreb's offense was sniped again and again. Even a player as strong as Davor Suker was overwhelmed by the crowd tactics and could not find any chance to catch the ball.

So far, Dinamo Zagreb has had twelve shots on goal.

Eight of them were long shots!

It can be seen how passive Dinamo Zagreb is.

Dinamo Zagreb fans in the stadium were also worried.

Facing the opponent's turtle shell, they had no choice.

Time passed little by little, and in the final injury time of Dinamo Zagreb, Suker dribbled towards the penalty area like crazy, but was knocked down time and time again.

Dinamo Zagreb also had bad luck and failed to score from set-pieces. At the end of the 90 minutes, they had to admit the fact that they were tied by the opponent at home.

At the end of the game, Dinamo Zagreb 0:0 Istria 1961.

Post-game press conference.

Besic looked calm and said to reporters:

"It is a pity that we failed to win this game, but it also tells us what direction we should move in. This is the professional game. It is impossible to win all the time. We are a team that has just completed its reorganization and needs more players. It’s time to get used to each other, even though it’s a draw, but I believe we will play better in the future.”

"I have no problem with the players. They played hard throughout the game. Although they failed to score, they were thinking about how to score until the last minute of the game."

"There are still some issues regarding tactical integration, and these need to be solved slowly by us."

After briefly dealing with the media, Besic returned to the locker room.

After a boring draw, the players all felt quite depressed.

Facing this bus formation, they played in a frustrating manner and indeed lacked some means of restraint.

After returning to the dormitory, Suk and others gathered in the dormitory again.

"We didn't play well enough as a team."

"Lack of some effective coordination."

“It’s also very bad luck, not a single set kick was scored!”

Srna, Duimovich and others were a little frustrated.

Modric: "We didn't have a numerical advantage."

Su Ke came over with a water glass and nodded: "The kicks are too scattered. If there are enough people to press forward, we can bombard them wildly around their penalty area!"

"It's easy to say, but hard to implement!" Srna shook his head.

Su Ke and Modric also sighed.

Teamwork is not something that can be achieved overnight. It needs to be passed on step by step and takes a long time to settle down.

The current Dinamo Zagreb have just completed their reorganization, and it is indeed difficult for them to cooperate with each other tacitly.

When everyone was silent, Mandzukic suddenly said: "Actually, there is a stupid way."

Everyone turned their heads and looked over subconsciously.

Mandzukic said; "I watched the whole game off the court, and many times, you guys stood still with both feet!"

Suk blinked.

"Stand still?"

Mandzukic nodded; "Yes! When I was in the German youth training, I remember the youth training coach there said that football is a running sport. The most important thing in the whole game is running. Running is the most important factor throughout the game, so he said, if you don’t know how to play football, then try to run, keep running, keep changing positions, so that you will see different scenery .”

Modric touched his chin: "Use running to shorten the running-in period."

Suk looked at Modric, who also turned to look over.

"Try?"

Suk nodded: "I think it makes sense too."

Duimovich gritted his teeth: "Run! Run to your death!"

Srna: "I'll push forward more!"

Modric: "I will also increase my running distance!"

Su Ke raised his index finger; "Starting tomorrow, in any competition, the average running rate cannot be less than 8 kilometers per game! Run them to death!"

Su Ke and other young people were furious.

If there is no smart way to find it, and they are not willing to continue to endure it, they will use stupid ways.

start running!

Get your feet moving!

The next day, Dinamo Zagreb’s training base.

Davor Suker was sweating profusely, and Suker, Srna and Modric suddenly appeared around him.

That's all Srna.

He remembered that Suker and Modric were in the frontcourt, but why did they suddenly run into the backcourt.

Under the attack of three people, he successfully grabbed the ball.

Modric passed the ball to Suker, the fastest advance among them.

"Guys! Let's start charging!!"

Suk yelled.

Under this roar, Suker, Modric, Srna, Duimovic, Mandzukic, and Planic were all running forward.

They gritted their teeth one by one, lowered their heads and charged forward!

The training clothes were shaking in the wind, and the blue training clothes were connected together, like a huge blue wave, or like a storm on the ground, surging forward.

"What the hell"

Even the experienced Shtimac couldn't help but curse when he saw this scene.

The instantaneous numerical difference overwhelmed the opponent's defense. After they passed the ball twice, Suker scored with a left-footed shot.

The white net was shaking, and the teenagers were cheering.

Looking at that energetic figure, Besic suddenly shook his head and sighed:

"I found out that I was wrong!"

"What?" Assistant coach Kleiman was puzzled.

"Van Steyak is right! I shouldn't restrict Suker!" Besic smiled; "I'm assigning them work, but at the same time I'm also restricting their performance. I keep saying that I want them to grow wildly. But put shackles on them.”

"Look!" Besic said excitedly; "This is what young people should look like!"
