Dinamo Zagreb restaurant window.

"Four sausages! Thank you!"

Su Ke looked at the sizzling and greasy sausages in the window, and his saliva almost flowed out.

Since joining Dinamo Zagreb, Suker's meals have been strictly controlled.

Nutritional supplements!

This is the instruction given to Su Ke by the team's health manager, and there is also a matching nutritious meal.

But things like nutritious meals are very healthy, but they don’t taste very good when eaten.

The chef's aunt put a sausage in Suk's meal.

Su Ke blinked and added:

"Four!"

"Only one sausage!" The chef aunt laughed; "The club has issued an order that you can only eat one sausage per meal. What you have eaten recently is too greasy."

Suk opened his mouth and looked at the green dishes on the dinner plate. Although there were steaks and other foods, he was now craving for sausages.

It’s just that the chef’s aunt’s attitude is very firm, one stick is one, no matter how much Su Ke pleads, she will not give it life or death.

In the end, Suk had no choice but to accept his fate.

Carrying the dinner plate, Suk came to Modric's table.

"You should eat less greasy food!" Modric suggested.

Suk grinned; "But I'm greedy!"

Modric rolled his eyes angrily and said, "If you continue like this, you won't necessarily grow taller, but you will definitely gain weight!"

Su Ke sighed and immediately started to eat with his head down.

Suke looked very fierce when eating, as if he was fighting with the food.

Modric is used to it, but Srna and others always feel as if Suk is being abused.

"Don't worry about him, he used to eat like this." Modric seemed to see the surprise in Srna's eyes and said casually.

Srna nodded and said: "Tomorrow is the first game, aren't you nervous?"

Modric shook his head; "I have been waiting for this moment for a long time."

Sirna lowered his head and looked at Suk again. He didn't look nervous when he was eating.

"I'm a little nervous!" Srna pursed his lips.

Suk suddenly raised his head: "Are you also infected by Mario?"

Srna was stunned for a moment; "Mario? You mean, Mandzukic?"

Su Ke nodded; "Since the end of the warm-up season, this guy has started training crazily. As the main game approaches, this guy has no intention of resting."

Srna nodded: "Mandzukic is stimulated!"

"What stimulated him?" Su Ke was puzzled.

Srna glanced at Suker and Modric.

Aren’t you both exciting?

As peers, Suker and Modric's performance in the warm-up match put all young players under pressure.

In the past, they were the proud ones in their respective teams.

But after being called up to Dinamo Zagreb, in just one month, his proud heart was impacted again and again.

Mandzukic, Vukojevic, Planic, Duimovic and Srna himself were greatly stimulated.

This is mainly due to the anxiety they felt after seeing the performance of Suker and Modric.

In the past, in their respective teams, their talents were already at the ceiling, so there was no such big sense of urgency.

But after arriving at Dinamo Zagreb, everything changed.

On the first day of training, their pride was shattered. In the three warm-up matches, they suffered huge blows that left them completely bruised.

Nowadays, Mandzukic, Vukojevic and others leave early and come back late for training.

They don't want to admit defeat.

Facing Suker and Modric, who are more talented and perform better than them, the competitiveness of these guys has also been stimulated.

There is no doubt that Suker and Modric are definitely the "anxiety makers" of this team.

However, under the encouragement of Suker and Modric, these young players have become more actively integrated into the team, full of energy and desire to perform.

All this gives Dinamo Zagreb a youthful atmosphere.

On the other side, the coaching team of Dinamo Zagreb is also making final adjustments.

The determination of the main position is a very critical matter.

Although Besic's coaching style also includes competition for positions, he will first establish a main lineup.

With three warm-up matches, he probably had a prototype in his mind.

"Starting goalkeeper: Grestec!"

This is the old goalkeeper of Dinamo Zagreb. He has been working hard and his condition is very stable.

"Defense: Srna, Jarni, Stimac, Planic!"

The defense line is a combination of old and new. Srna is a full-back transformed from a winger. He is extremely aggressive. He can echo Suker on the wing and further disrupt the opponent's defense when attacking.

And Srna's abundant physical fitness can also support his constant cruising up and down.

The selection of both centre-backs was based on experience, with former Croatian internationals chosen.

"Midfielder: Modric, Vukojevic, Duimovic!"

The young midfielder can give the team more vitality, and the three have also formed a certain degree of tacit understanding in the warm-up match.

Both Modric and Duimovich can pass and receive the ball, but of course the former is more important.

Vukojevic is responsible for sweeping in the midfielder position.

"forward."

This is Besic's most troublesome position.

Su Ke's location must be confirmed.

With Suker's phenomenal performance in the warm-up match, it was impossible for him to ignore it.

And accordingly, the proportion of left-wing offense has been increased. It can be said that the left wing is currently the most threatening offensive wing of Dinamo Zagreb.

Davor Suker's running ability is not good, but with his superb skills and experience, he is still the top scorer in the team.

The problem lies with Mandzukic.

Because Davor Suk squeezed Mandzukic's position at the center, this caused Mandzukic to be sent to the wing. In the wing position, Mandzukic's performance was not very good.

Mandzukic's characteristics are shooting skills and aerial dominance.

But this is contradictory to Dawo Suk.

At present, the possibility of the two coexisting is not too high.

"Let Mandzukic be the substitute first and Valevic be the main player."

Assistant coach Pavicenic said.

This is also what most coaches mean.

Besic also thought about it and immediately agreed to the plan.

"That's right!" said assistant coach Pavicenic; "Suker, Modric and Vukojevic want internal tickets."

After all, it’s the team’s first show, so it’s understandable to invite your family to watch.

Head coach Besic nodded and said: "Three for each person!"

Assistant coach Pavicenic grinned and said, "Suker wants more."

"How many does he want?" Besic asked.

Assistant coach Pavicenic stretched out his hands: "Ten!"

Besic was stunned for a moment, but he thought of Suk's origin, and then nodded: "Give it to him!"

Three days later, Suker received ten tickets.

For this reason, he specially took the time to go to the welfare home and handed the game ticket to Di Carmochi.

Dika Mochi seemed very excited. He is a fan of Dinamo Zagreb and now has friends playing for this club. He promised to lead the children in the welfare home to cheer.

For the children in the orphanage, they were all very excited when they heard that they were going to watch Su Ke play football.

Su Ke did not stay in the orphanage for too long. After saying goodbye to the old director, he immediately returned to the training base.

After all, he had been busy preparing for the war during this period, and he couldn't leave for too long.

Time passed little by little, and July 15th soon came.

On this day, Zagreb became a little hotter.

The league, which has been suspended for two months, is about to start, which is a very important thing for fans.

Especially for Dinamo Zagreb fans.

Last season, they experienced a bad season, and the return of head coach Besic and Davor Suker gave them confidence to a certain extent.

But they are not particularly clear about the specific situation of the new season.

The first team is being rebuilt, but the newly signed players are all young players.

In the past, the average age of the Dinamo Zagreb team was around 26 years old, but after the reconstruction, it instantly reached 24 years old!

There is no doubt that this is a young guard!

From a certain perspective, they should even be considered the Young Guards!

After all, veterans such as Davor Suker, Jarni, and Stimac have raised the average age for a large part.

Suk is currently 17 years old and has one month left until his 18th birthday.

Mandzukic is the same age as Suker, but just celebrated his 18th birthday.

Modric also just celebrated his 19th birthday.

Duimovic and Planic are 23 years old.

Vukojevic is 21 years old!

Srna is 22 years old!

Looking at such an age structure, fans are worried about whether these young people can withstand the pressure.

After all, Besic's reconstruction has changed too much this time.

However, the existence of Dawo Suker brought them a little comfort.

After all, he is Croatia's hero and number one star.

In their opinion, Dawo Suk is omnipotent.

Facing this atmosphere, on July 15th, the 2003/2004 Croatian League season kicked off.

Croatia’s opening match between Dinamo Zagreb and Slaven Belupo will also start at the Maksimir Stadium.
