2003/2004 season, the 34th round of the Croatian League.

Dinamo Zagreb VS Osijek.

Waves of cheers echoed in the Maksimir Stadium, mixed with high-pitched singing.

After a terrible season last year, the Mostici brothers' damage to Dinamo Zagreb led to their embarrassing relegation battle.

But Dinamo Zagreb is the overlord of Croatia after all!

In just one year, they completed the process from reconstruction to dominance.

This is a team formed by young people. At first, many people questioned the ability of head coach Besic and this group of young people.

But through game after game, in 34 rounds, they achieved an undefeated season.

This group of young people defended Dinamo Zagreb's honor with an outstanding performance and also brought them a lot of attention.

In the player tunnel.

Players from both sides have lined up.

Stimac took over the captain's duties and stood at the front of the team.

With the retirement of Davor Suker, the captain needs to be re-selected.

Besic asked veteran Stimac to serve as the captain, while appointing full-back Srna as the second captain and Suker as the third captain.

This move also shows that Besic is ready to once again promote the youth construction of the team.

With the success of this season, Besic received great recognition and his various suggestions were gradually adopted.

Today, Besic's support in the hearts of Dinamo Zagreb fans has reached an unprecedented level.

"Ready to play, the last game, come on!"

Stimac roared and led the team into the court.

The moment the players from both sides entered the stadium, the cheers from the audience also became louder.

"Shtimac! The new captain of Dinamo Zagreb, just like the situation with the national team, Shtimac still sticks to his last position, leading these young people after Davor Suker retires. The responsibility falls into the hands of Shtimac and Jarni!"

The cheers at the scene became fierce. Whether it was the golden generation of Croatia or the identity of the new captain of Dinamo Salegb, these gave Stimac enough cheers.

The on-site DJ was constantly introducing the players entering the stadium.

"Luka Modric! A talented Croatian midfielder. His steady performance is the key to Dinamo Zagreb's outstanding performance. He has also been defined as the best midfielder of the new generation of Croatia with his outstanding performance! And In this game, Modric finally put on the No. 10 jersey that represents the core!"

Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

Luka Modric! !

Luka Modric! !

Luka Modric! !

The fans at the scene cheered, and under their cheers, Modric's expression became more serious.

Obviously, they are determined to win this game.

As each player walks out of the stadium, the on-site DJ will introduce them.

But for the fans of Dinamo Zagreb, they seem to have been suppressing their inner excitement, and they are waiting for something.

"Next" the DJ took a deep breath and said loudly; "Unparalleled game performance, the absolute core of Dinamo Zagreb's offense this season, scoring 31 goals and 15 assists in 34 rounds! Gorgeous According to the data, he is only 18 years old!"

In the stands, the eyes began to brighten, and they stared at the exit of the players' tunnel.

When that figure appeared, the scene suddenly erupted into violent cheers.

Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

Crazy cheers filled the entire venue, sweeping every inch of space like a stormy wave.

Violent cheers!

Fierce applause!

Shocking stands!

This tells everyone how much they like this player.

The DJ at the scene was also infected by the cheers, and his voice couldn't help but raise a few points. He imitated the words of the famous Croatian commentator Klausiewicz and said loudly:

"The golden left foot bid farewell to football forever, but No. 9! No!"

"Let's welcome the new No. 9! It belongs to Dinamo Zagreb and it also belongs to Croatia!"

The live DJ took a deep breath and suddenly roared into the microphone;

"No.9!!!!--"

The fans at the scene burst into cheers.

This cheer was like traveling through time, giving it a special meaning.

It is a voice that comes from deep within, from the soul.

"Suker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -"

Dinamo Zagreb's bus driver, Credivac, watched this scene quietly.

He watched Suk walk out of the tunnel with one hand clenched and one hand raised.

The same blue shirt!

The same number 9!

Suker at the same time!

At this moment, tears filled my eyes.

In a daze, he seemed to see an illusory figure hanging over Suk.

Two different eras!

Two different sukkahs!

At this moment, they overlap!

Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap! !

The applause at the scene lasted for a long time.

They didn't stop applauding until the game was about to start.

One by one, they clapped their palms until they turned red, but they still couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts.

Facing this atmosphere, the championship battle gradually began.

".Modric split the wings, and Suker attracted the attention of the full-back. Srna successfully covered the side and passed the ball in an inverted triangle. Suker shot directly!! Ah~~~The ball missed the goal post and flew out of the baseline. !"

Commentator Krausiewicz smiled and said; "Suker's first shot created enough threats. His performance is still so good, and his desire to score is also extremely high!"

Suk grinned and stamped his feet!

This shot was just a tiny bit off!

"Come again!"

Suk turned around and shouted.

Seeing Suker in excellent form, Dinamo Zagreb also entered a violent offensive mode.

Although Osijek tried hard to maintain their defense, Suker's repeated attacks still posed a great threat to them.

"The ball was passed to Suker's feet again. Suker began to shake his body. Osijek's full-back did not dare to stretch his feet. As long as he stretched his feet, he would definitely be passed."

"There is someone on the side to help defend, Su Ke passes the ball!!"

"Another pass from Srna, Mandzukic!! Beautiful!!"

In the penalty area, Mandzukic carried the opponent's central defender to complete the take-off, and threw the ball into the goal in the air.

"Wonderful left wing combination!"

"While Suk attracted enough defense, Srna completed the sideline. Suk's pass was just right. Srna stopped the ball and passed the ball. Mandzukic gave full play to his aerial dominance. Since the middle of the season, Mandzukic's performance has become more and more outstanding, and he even pushed Davor Suker to the bench at one point."

"And now, facing the high point of Dinamo Zagreb, Osijek has no restrictions!"

"In the 12th minute, Dinamo Salegb took the lead with Mandzukic's shot! They are only half a step away from the championship!"

The cheers at the scene came one after another.

The fans waved their hands excitedly.

They were excited about the goal.

"You guy, you can jump so high!"

Srna smiled and rubbed Mandzukic's head.

This ball should be a late penalty kick. Srna saw that Valević was empty and wanted to pass the ball to the back penalty point. For this reason, the pass should be higher.

But Mandzukic actually completed the cut and really pushed it in.

"I like this kind of pass, which can give full play to my jumping ability." Mandzukic also smiled happily.

Now his condition is getting better and he has completed his adjustment with the team.

As a stand-up center, he can make full use of his explosive physical fitness to help the team attack the city.

Of course, he can also become a shield in the frontcourt, clearing a space for Su Ke to penetrate forward.

"Suke! I'll make a wall for you!"

Su Ke rolled his eyes: "Just stand still and don't run around."

Mandzukic laughed twice.

He has great trust in Suker, and it can even be said that in the entire team, the one who trusts Suker the most is Mandzukic.

Therefore, Su Ke said goal!

He will definitely score!

Sure enough, at the 25th minute, Suker swayed left and right on the wing, and with Srna's forward penetration, he successfully broke through from the rib area.

This time, Su Ke ran directly to the small penalty area line.

After passing the opponent's central defender, facing the goalkeeper's dive, Su Ke stretched out his foot to pull the ball laterally, avoiding the goalkeeper's dive, and at the same time, he adjusted his feet and pushed forward.

The ball immediately entered the net.

"Got it again!! Suker!! He extended his goal tally to 32 goals!"

"Including the goalkeeper, he passed three people in a row and completed this easy and free shot!"

"This is Suk's ability. Once you relax a little bit, he will give you a 'big gift' in return!"

"Dinamo Zagreb 2:0 Osijek!"

"The one who scored for us was No. 9."

The narrator Krausiewicz shouted:

In bars across Zagreb, fans watching the game suddenly shouted in unison:

Suker! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

They cheered and shouted excitedly.

Amidst the shouts, it was as if Su Ke had never left them.

Yes!

Number 9 is still there!

Su Ke is still here too!

The game continued on the field. Entering the second half, Dinamo Zagreb relaxed their offensive pace and began to control the midfield.

At present, they have taken control of the situation and there is no need to take the initiative to attack.

As long as they stabilize the situation, the championship will belong to them.

"Dinamo Zagreb controlled the ball, Osijek's fighting spirit was not so tenacious, and the pace of the game slowed down from the 70th minute."

Commentator Krausiewicz likes these Dinamo Zagreb lads.

Not only are they talented, but they also know how to advance and retreat.

When attacking, everyone was furious.

When they need to stabilize their rhythm, they will immediately adjust their status and switch from offense to defense.

Don’t rush in or get ahead!

Many young players have the problem of being unable to stop when they rush forward, and there is no trace of it in them.

Sometimes, they are just a bunch of energetic young people.

Sometimes, they can handle the ball and rhythm at their feet calmly and play very skillfully.

Under the control of Dinamo Zagreb's rhythm, the game time gradually passed.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the whole place was in an uproar.

"The game is over! The game is over! Dinamo Zagreb won the Croatian League Championship in the 2003/2004 season! They became the best team in this competition and also achieved an outstanding record of unbeaten championship! "

"This is the brilliance created by a group of young people! I believe that next season, this group of young people will perform even better and show us even more exciting games!"

"Lads from Dinamo Zagreb! Suker, Modric, Mandzukic, Vukojevic, Srna, Duimovic, Planic!! Go! Go Lift the championship trophy that belongs to you."

On the podium, the moment when the young players of Dinamo Zagreb lifted the trophy.

There was a gap in the cloud-covered sky, and a ray of sunlight just happened to shine on them.

This scene made the commentator Krausiewicz feel something.

"The stories of the past have become the past, but life must continue. We cannot live in memories, we must learn to look forward!"

"Dawo Suk's story is over!"

"And today, we have a new story unfolding. I believe it will be extremely exciting."

"These young people are talented and gifted. I believe that one day, just like in 1998, they will make Croatian Rhapsody ring around the world again!"

"Grow up, children!"

"I look forward to the day when you can wear plaid shirts!"

"I will also give you the warmest cheers on that day!"

Cheers, applause, and singing mingled at the Maximir Stadium.

Suker, Modric and other young people won their first Croatian League Championship trophy!
