Maksimir Stadium, warm-up match between the Croatian national team and the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team!

"Hahahahahahaha~~~!!!"

"Lost the ball! Lost the ball!!"

"Serna made a fool of himself!"

Duimovich and Planic laughed and bent over, patting the railing in front of them, laughing so hard.

In the field, Srna, wearing the national team jersey No. 22, was chasing after him in embarrassment.

Seeing this scene, they laughed even louder.

"Is it that funny?"

Mandzukic didn't see what was funny.

Although the way he fell was a bit funny, it didn't have to be that way.

"They are jealous!"

Suk pointed out the important point directly.

"fart!"

"Would I be jealous of him?"

Both of them turned their heads and yelled angrily.

Suk curled his lips; "Look at your jealous faces!"

The two fought back wildly.

Suk also spread his hands.

Ever since Srna was called up to the national team, these two guys have been completely jealous.

On May 29, just a few days before the European Cup, the national team's main defender Robert Kovac, who played for Bayern Munich, was injured, and head coach Baric had to recruit a defender into the team.

Srna was called up to the national team by Baric due to his outstanding performance last season.

He is also the first player among Su Ke and others to join the national team.

Of course, Srna is still a substitute, but after all, it is a warm-up match and everyone has a chance to play.

Judging from the current situation, Srna's condition is not particularly good.

Suk could feel that Srna was uncomfortable playing.

At Dinamo Zagreb, Srna was an attacking 'fourth defender'.

When Suker applies pressure in the rib area and attracts attention, this is a good opportunity for Srna to move forward.

But the current Croatian national team winger Pulsho does not put enough pressure on the wing and occupies the wing area, which prevents Srna from moving forward to form a response.

When defending, winger Pursau will not drop back as frequently as Suker to help Srna.

For this reason, this guy has almost become a hole in the team.

Bosnia and Herzegovina's attacks continued from the left, hitting the Croatian defense again and again.

But fortunately, the center back of the Grid Army is still very tough.

The god Simunich descends to earth, dominates the sky, and completes destruction time and time again.

With Shokota as a high point on the front line, the Croatian national team still won the game with a goal from Purso.

At the end of the warm-up match, Suk and others saw Srna walking to the locker room with his head lowered.

"This guy is quite pitiful!"

Duimovich sighed; "Although I joined the national team, it was too hasty and I failed to find my position."

"It's so frustrating to watch!" Vukojevic also shook his head and said, "The counterattack was too slow."

"After all, it is the national team. The club has trained together all year round to form a tacit understanding. It is very difficult to develop a tacit understanding in the national team in a short period of time."

"With this performance, I will probably be on the bench."

"Go back, it's time for us to train!"

Everyone left the stadium and took a taxi back to the training base.

The season has just ended, and they mainly focus on maintenance training.

After all, their bodies also need a rest and their condition needs to slowly adjust to prepare for the new season.

The vacation is not long, only two months.

The new season will start on July 16th.

The first round of Champions League qualifying also starts on July 17, and they also need to prepare in advance.

For this reason, the team will conduct a training camp on June 30, half a month in advance.

The full name of the Champions League is the European Champions League, which consists of three stages: qualifying, group stage, and knockout.

In addition to the five major leagues including the top leagues sharing 16 group stage places, the remaining 16 group stage places will be qualified through three rounds of qualifying.

Qualifying stage.

According to the level of the league, the 28 championship teams with lower league rankings will compete in the first round of qualifying.

After two rounds of home and away games, the 14 winning teams entered the second round.

In the second round, a new 14 teams will enter and continue to enter the third round through two rounds of home and away games.

In the third round, counting the 14 previously promoted teams and newly added teams, there will be 32 teams, including teams from the five major leagues and even wealthy teams.

This is also the most difficult hurdle leading to the Champions League group stage!

How many low-level teams made it through the first and second rounds, but in the third round they had no choice but to be eliminated when facing top teams with disparity in strength.

Only the 16 teams that pass the third round are eligible to form the 32 teams in the group stage with the five major league champions.

In other words, Dinamo Zagreb wants to advance to the Champions League main stage, which is the group stage.

They must play three rounds of home and away games, a total of six games!

And only by passing these hurdles can they be qualified to stand on the stage of the Champions League.

In this process, strength, status and even luck are all indispensable.

“It’s really a long way to go!”

Suk couldn't help but sigh.

The European Cup is in full swing.

But for Croatia, their European Cup stay in the group stage was short-lived.

After three rounds of group matches.

Croatia ended up in the group stage with two draws and one loss.

This has also made Croatian head coach Baric widely controversial.

Although they once drew with the French team.

But when facing the Three Lions, relying on Rooney's impact in the frontcourt, he was stunned to score two goals.

At the same time, the midfield duo of Gerrard and Lampard each had a long-range shot.

In the end, the Croatian national team, which was behind the golden generation, finished third in the group and missed the European Cup knockout rounds.

After this game, the Croatian Football Association quickly announced that head coach Baric was responsible for the European Cup results and took the initiative to submit a letter of resignation.

At the same time, the 48-year-old Kranica serves as the firefighting coach.

There are three things a new official should do when he takes office.

However, Kranica did not make any transfers to the national team players, but restructured other departments of the first team.

From the coaching staff to all supporting personnel, everything has been replaced.

Kranica said he wants to use the new environment to sow seeds while allowing fans to look forward to the Croatian national team in the future.

Srna returned to the club the day after he was eliminated from the national team.

After returning to the club, Srna was a little depressed for a while.

Both the national team's performance and his own performance were very poor.

This is a blow to confidence.

But fortunately, he quickly got out of this bad state while communicating with his companions.

"You are lucky that Kranjca did not reorganize the first team, otherwise you would be the first one to be purged!"

Duimovich still looked jealous.

"Just clean it, I don't want to be in this national team either!"

Sirna said angrily.

"Were you bullied?" Su Ke asked curiously.

Srna shook his head; "I was not bullied, but the overall atmosphere was very bad. There were various small groups and intrigues. Simunic took his teammates drinking and clubbing all day long. The day before playing against England, he even went drinking. .”

Su Ke was surprised: "Baric doesn't care?"

"Simunic was promoted by Baric, and I indulge him for this." Srna sighed; "Kranica's methods are not strong enough. If it were me, I would directly overthrow and rebuild!"

Su Ke was speechless.

You think everyone is Besic!

Moreover, the risk of overthrowing and rebuilding is very high. They were lucky enough to get out, but the unlucky ones didn't even know which corner they were playing in.

"Don't think about this, focus on the club competition!" Modric reminded; "The Champions League qualification race is about to begin!"

On July 1, the holiday is over for Dinamo Zagreb.

They will conduct training for half a month and then go to the battlefield.

The Croatian league is like that.

But the most important thing is the Champions League qualifying rounds!

After all, this is a new experience for them.

Facing different leagues and teams with different styles, it is still unknown whether they can perform.

When Su Ke and others arrived at the training ground, it was already very lively.

The substitutes arrived at the stadium early to start training.

This season, Dinamo Zagreb has signed a total of six new players.

The oldest is 23 years old and the youngest is 16 years old.

Subasic, Jelavic, Strinic, Rakitic, Hildenfeld, Joel Luka.

When he first saw these people, Suk was confused.

This guy Besic is almost packing up the Croatian national team in the future.

Several of them were part of the 2018 World Cup runner-up squad.

Su Ke didn't dare to say anything else, but when it came to looking at people, this guy was absolutely awesome.

Of course, it's still the same sentence, after all, it is the juvenile version.

For example, Rakitic is still a young 16-year-old boy at this time.

The arrival of Su Ke and others also attracted the attention of these substitutes.

They are all talented players from various clubs. The reason why they gathered in Dinamo Zagreb is that on the one hand the conditions given are very good, and on the other hand they can get enough opportunities here.

Su Ke and others are the best proof.

Besic is a head coach who is willing to use young people extensively.

“The look in these guys’ eyes is really off-putting.”

Duimovich pouted.

Su Ke shrugged; "They want to strip you of your identity as the main force!"

"They are still far away!" Duimovich said proudly.

Suk also smiled.

No matter how talented they are, Rakitic and others at this time are teenagers who have not yet grown up.

And Suker and this group of people have already swung their arms and made four trips back and forth to sweep the Croatian League in one season!

Of course, these substitutes are also watching eagerly.

Su Ke and others knew very well that if there was a chance, these guys would definitely pull them down without hesitation!
