The European Cup qualifiers are over, and Croatia got its wish and qualified for the European Cup as the first in the group.

Although there is one game left, for Croatia, winning or losing this game no longer has much to do with it.

Moreover, Besic also said that he will use substitutes in the next game, most likely for training.

At the end of the game, the Croatian players once again gathered at Suker's manor for 'team building'.

This time the team building was initiated by Srna, mainly based on Simunic and Kovac, which caused the atmosphere in the team to become a bit awkward.

Of course, Simunic had no intention of communicating with Vidal and Lovren, while Kovac didn't seem to particularly mind.

Perhaps it was because of his older age that he was a little unable to do what he wanted.

Watch Simunic get up, leave the table, and go to the bathroom.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mandzukic asked:

"Why do you and Simunic have completely different attitudes?"

Kovac looked at Mandzukic and smiled: "Maybe I'm relieved?"

"Simunic has also played for a wealthy team like AC Milan, and his decline in form has happened recently. Faced with many accusations and doubts, he naturally wants to fight back subconsciously. I have also experienced this. It's time, but I'm too old! And it's too tiring to keep up with your pace. I'm no longer suitable for high-intensity games!"

In the 2010 World Cup, veteran Kovac almost lost his life.

With Srna injured, they share more defensive pressure and the pressure is even greater.

Especially in the last few games, the playing was so intense.

"He will figure it out!" Kovac said with a smile and looked at Mandzukic: "What did you do? How did Perisic and the others take away the championship?"

Kovac was obviously referring to Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

Last season, Dortmund won the Bundesliga championship in the 2010/2011 season, breaking the Southern King's dominance of the Bundesliga, which made Bayern Munich lose face.

Mandzukic was also a little embarrassed.

As soon as he left, Dortmund won the Bundesliga on the back foot.

Whoever encounters this matter will be embarrassed!

"Dortmund is very strong now!" Perisic said suddenly; "Our team has a high degree of integration and has completed the integration in the past two years. It is natural for an outbreak to occur."

In response, everyone nodded slightly.

Suk was thinking about this problem while eating meat.

Dortmund is really strong now!

In 2008, Jurgen Klopp joined Dortmund, and Dortmund started a counterattack.

In fact, at the beginning, Bayern Munich and Hamburg were interested in letting Klopp coach.

But in the end Bayern chose another Jurgen!

Hamburg, on the other hand, disliked Klopp's sloppy image and chose another head coach.

When Klopp came to Dortmund, the club was on the verge of bankruptcy, with debts as high as 125 million pounds. Former coach Thomas Dole led the team to only 13th place.

But in this case, in just two years, Klopp turned the situation around and snatched the championship from the powerful Bundesliga teams such as Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, and Schalke 04.

In the past two years, Dortmund has also continued to make small signings.

Lewandowski, Gotze, Reus, Perisic, Hummels, Subotic, Shinji Kagawa, Smelzer, Gundogan, etc.

These familiar stars in the future are all brought by Klopp with small signings or visa exemptions.

These players alone are enough for Dortmund to make a fortune, not to mention that Dortmund also won the Bundesliga championship.

Moreover, Dortmund's impact will continue this season.

After all, it was Klopp who formed the ‘Youth Storm’ that swept across the European continent.

Moreover, this 'storm' will be more violent than the impact of the Young Guards at any time in history.

Suker believes that Bayern Munich did not lose unfairly!

Moreover, Bayern Munich's focus in these two seasons has been on the Champions League, and their pursuit of the Champions League is more intense than before.

"Dortmund is a young team after all, and we have experienced this before." Modric grinned; "We were taught a terrible lesson by AC Milan at that time!"

Mandzukic grinned; "I really hope they meet Real Madrid in this year's Champions League."

He looked at Suk and said, "Help me teach them a lesson."

"You were beaten down yourself, why are you seeking revenge from me?"

Suk rolled his eyes.

In fact, this may be the first time Dortmund has played in the Champions League. There are too many young players in the team and they are not accustomed to it. They failed to break out of the group stage this season.

Of course, this is not an absolute thing.

"Isn't it time for your fourth Golden Globe Award?" Srna said suddenly.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Suk again.

There was a hint of emotion in their eyes.

Ever since I met Su Ke, this guy's performance has always been extraordinary.

At that time, they believed that Su Ke would become a great star.

But this guy already has three Golden Balls. Real Madrid won the Triple Crown last season and it was a non-international season. The Champions League indicator for the Golden Ball Award is very high.

With Suker's performance and various indicators, the fourth Golden Globe Award is almost a certainty.

How many teams get one, I can laugh out loud until I sleep, this guy is already rushing for the fourth impact.

The gap is simply too great.

"Stop talking about this." Suker waved his hand; "I don't want to provoke you."

"You have already provoke us with this sentence." Duimovic curled his lips; "Pretend!"

The others smiled slightly bitterly.

Modric also shook his head.

When the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year were separated, there were still people who had the opportunity to share the trophy with Suker, but now the two trophies have been merged, and there is no chance to share the trophy.

The evening party was mainly for chatting, and no drinking was done.

So they dispersed quickly.

The next day, the players prepared to return.

Rakitic came directly to Suker's manor with his suitcase early in the morning.

He had booked this plane.

After Rakitic arrived, Srna and Kovacic also came.

The four of them drove to the airport and took Suker's private plane to Madrid again.

Although Rakitic kept asking if he could be sent to Seville, Suker just rolled his eyes.

The route he applied for was from Zagreb to Madrid. This guy treated the plane as a private car and drove it however he wanted?

After arriving in Madrid, Suker and the other three drove Rakitic to the train station before returning home.

When Suker came back, Zoranqi was already waiting in the villa.

"I watched your game, you played really well!"

Zoranqi immediately gave a thumbs up.

Suker raised his eyebrows; "How many days has it been? A week as agreed?"

Zoranqi said awkwardly; "Some things have been delayed!"

Suker frowned; "Negotiations are not going well?"

"No!" Zoranqi shook his head; "Negotiations are going well, I went to deal with other things, and now they have been dealt with."

After that, Zoranqi looked at Kovacic and said: "I found a house for you near the training base, and also assigned you a translator and Spanish teacher, and an Italian teacher. Next, in addition to training, you will also receive foreign language training."

"Learn two subjects at once?" Kovacic felt a headache.

One is already difficult, let alone learning two at once.

Zoranqi smiled and looked at Suker and said, "We will move out tomorrow."

Suke nodded and pointed at Kovacic; "Find a car for this kid and a driver."

With Kovacic's dull look, Suker was afraid that this guy would be sold in Madrid.

Zoranqi thought about it and nodded immediately.

After all, he can stay in Spain from time to time, and Suker is not the kind of guy who will help him take care of others.

The next day, in the training base of Real Madrid.

Mourinho stood on the sidelines with a stinky face, and the whole person exuded an atmosphere of strangers not to enter.

The national team game is over, and the national teams where his players are all achieved satisfactory results.

But the problem is that they are satisfactory, but Mourinho is injured.

Ramos, Arbeloa, Kaka, Benzema, Carvalho, and Marcelo were injured all the time.

Looking at the long list of injuries, Mourinho's heart is bleeding!

Although it is the adjustment stage at the beginning of the season, he will not work too hard or desperately.

But the problem is that with such a long injury list, he also feels difficult!

What's more, in the recent games, they have to play Valencia, Atletico Madrid and Sevilla in the league.

In the Champions League, Ajax, Lyon and Dinamo Zagreb are in the same group.

The most troublesome thing for him in the league is Valencia and Atletico Madrid.

Valencia has been threatening the status of Real Madrid and Barcelona in the past two seasons. It has been third for two consecutive seasons, and there is always a feeling of breaking out.

Although it was double-killed by Real Madrid last season.

But last season, their state, physical condition, etc. were all very good.

But after entering the beginning of the season, the pressure of squeezing during this period seemed to break out at once, causing many of their main players to be injured.

Assistant coach Faria saw Mourinho's livid expression and couldn't help but say: "We have to think in a positive direction. After all, it is the beginning of the season, and it is mostly a time for adjustment. The outbreak of injuries at the beginning of the season is not a bad thing. It is better than another outbreak of injuries in the second half of the season, right?"

Hearing this, Mourinho also exhaled slowly.

What Faria said makes sense.

Since the preparation stage of the season, the medical examination department has repeatedly informed Mourinho that the team is in danger of falling into an injury wave.

Mourinho has been worried about this!

Once this thing breaks out, the impact will be too great.

If it doesn't break out, it will be even more uncomfortable. There are hidden dangers of injury, but there is no injury, which is even more uneasy.

It's better to break out all at once, and it's at the beginning of the season. It doesn't matter if there are more draws and 1-2 games occasionally. In the second half of the season, when they are fully adjusted, they can also catch up with points.

As Faria said, the worst case scenario is an outbreak in the second half of the season.

At that time, they will be killed under the pressure of the Champions League knockouts, the league points battle, the King's Cup, etc.

Mourinho pursed his lips.

Or the bench is not deep enough!

If there are two sets of lineups, it doesn't matter how many injuries there are.

But so far, he has not been able to organize two sets of lineups.

"How is Suker?" Mourinho asked.

In this case, Suker must hold on to this thigh tightly.

This is a magical tool to prevent accidents!

Faria gave a thumbs up; "Very good! There are absolutely no hidden dangers."

Mourinho then let out a long sigh.

This is a blessing in disguise.

"In the next game, we will play Atletico Madrid away, so prepare well!"

After Mourinho said this, he turned around and walked out of the training ground, ready to think about tactics.

In the training ground, a day of training is almost over.

After the training, Suk and others also returned to the villa.

After Suk went back, Benzema and Kaka, one injured his right foot, and the other injured his left foot.

The two cripples walked into Suk's house on crutches.

"Can you two discuss it, can you injure one? If you are all injured at once, what should we do?"

Suk said unhappily.

Benzema became even more irritated.

"I knew it was like this, I was always uneasy during that game."

"How did you know?" Suk asked.

In addition to "lowering intelligence", this guy has developed a new halo.

Benzema raised his left hand: "I didn't put on a bandage!"

"It was unlucky since morning. I obviously brought a lucky necklace, but my bag was cut. And the lucky color that day was pure blue, so I brought two pairs of pure blue underwear, but when I took them out, I found that they were light blue, and I forgot to take the bandage!"

Kaka turned his head; "You can ask the team doctor for bandages!"

"I went to ask for it." Benzema said with an unhappy face; "He didn't give it to me. There were originally two rolls, one for people to put on patellas or fix ankles, and the other roll for emergency use. He You said I wasn't injured, so it's a waste to give it to me!" Suk covered his forehead; "Then you got injured?" Benzema nodded; "Yes! Only ten minutes into the game, that bastard hit my ankle." Suk shook his head and looked at Kaka; "What about you?" "My story is not so exciting." Kaka said; "I just had a recurrence of an old thigh injury, and I rested for a few weeks before I had it done." Looking at Suk's increasingly ugly expression, Benzema suddenly said: "Yesterday, I went to watch the Atletico Madrid game!" Suk and Kaka turned their heads to look over. Benzema touched his chin and said; "Remember the game last season when we almost lost to Atletico Madrid, right?" Suk and Kaka nodded. "That's not accidental." Benzema said seriously; "The Argentine coach is good. The current Atletico Madrid is not the same as the previous team!"

"The degree of integration is very high, and the most important thing is that the discipline is very strong. This is reflected in the defense after the attack. They will quickly pull back, and not just one, but a large group. Although we also emphasize discipline, to be honest, we can't compare with Atletico Madrid!"

Benzema exaggeratedly said; "They seem to have a unified idea, and everyone plays very mechanically. Although there is no big feature, the problem is that it is too difficult."

Suker nodded.

Benzema's senses are fine. This is Atletico Madrid, the team known as the Iron-blooded Atletico Madrid.

Discipline is comparable to that of the army!

Offense and defense are uniform!

Of course, Atletico Madrid has not reached its peak yet. After all, Simeone has just taken over for one season.

But in the future, they will stick to you like a dog skin plaster.

Suker said before that teams like Atletico Madrid should never be allowed to gain a sense of superiority or confidence in victory.

Once this happens, their combat power will double!

In the years when Atletico Madrid was most prosperous, other teams in the entire European football world, except Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​really couldn't control him.

Even Barcelona had repeated overturns, and Real Madrid relied on blood suppression to beat Atletico Madrid again and again.

In this case, Real Madrid can lose.

But they must not lose to Atletico Madrid. Once they taste the pleasure of victory, these guys will play more crazily.

Of course, the good news is that Atletico Madrid's running-in is not enough.

At present, it is a showpiece, this is an iron blood assembled.

Although it is still difficult to deal with, they will make mistakes after applying enough pressure.

The three chatted for a while, but the two guys had no intention of leaving.

Suk: "Should you leave?"

Benzema and Kaka looked at each other.

"It's time for dinner!"

"A little hungry!"

"I feel full, it's more conducive to recovery!"

Looking at the two people's smirking faces, Suk said; "I don't cook for guys who don't cherish themselves!"

Hearing this, the two immediately exploded.

Benzema: "We are injured, and we are sad too."

Kaka: "It was an accident!"

"Bullshit!"

Suker cursed, pointing at Kaka, "Do you think I didn't watch that game? Bullshit relapse, you just kicked the Uruguayan player in the head."

"He's 22 years old, 192 cm tall, 95 kg in weight! What can you use to fight him?"

Suker glared: "Tell me! Are you injured?"

Hearing this, Kaka scratched his head awkwardly, "I won't eat anymore!"

After that, he left on crutches.

Benzema asked curiously, "How did he get injured?"

Suker said unhappily, "He kicked the player in the head, and he got injured by tackling him."

Benzema blinked, and couldn't help laughing, "His story is more exciting than mine!"

Suker rolled his eyes.

You two are the same!

In the end, Benzema didn't get to have a dinner.

When a teammate was injured, Su Ke also believed that there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, no professional player could avoid injury.

If he didn't have a recovery card, Su Ke would have to lie in bed most of the time due to the intensity of those players marking him.

But passive injury and active injury are two different things!

Su Ke was angry because Kaka had a stupid head and was still a stubborn donkey.

Obviously he is no match for me in a head-to-head confrontation, yet I still insist on fighting him to the death!

During the Milan period, this guy had this bad habit.

At that time, he was nicknamed "Troublemaker" by his teammates.

Of course, that was because I was young and ignorant.

But now that I am about to enter my third year, I don’t know how to use my brain to compete physically with a 22-year-old kid, and all the accumulated ‘experience’ is wasted.

Once you get to the top, no matter what, you will attack your opponent.

The most important thing is, I haven’t won yet!

He probably felt embarrassed too, so he hid it from Su Ke and said it was a relapse of his old illness.

Su Ke knows exactly where Kaka is injured.

He had never heard that Kaka had an old thigh disease.

"I also learned to lie!"

Suk became even more angry.
