The Era of Emerald

Zhuang Mingge, who missed the game, after carefully watching the video of the game, keenly discovered a problem, that is, the expressions of the Sampdoria players who won this big victory showed that they were not happy.

"It seems that the problem is not only with AC Milan, but also with Sampdoria!" Zhuang Mingge sighed. The problem with Milan is that the players' hunger for honor has decreased, coupled with the various adverse effects left over from the World Cup in the United States , while Sampdoria?Their problem is their own boss!

If Berlusconi wants to rebuild the Milan dynasty, it is very simple. Keep the current head coach Capello and form the team according to his wishes to revive the team after two or three years.

And Sampdoria?The owner of Mantovani Jr. doesn't even realize that the worst person in the club is himself. Who can expect Sampdoria to regain its glory?

Not to mention the current problems of Milan and Sampdoria, after the big victory over Padua, Fiorentina will go to participate in the European Cup Winners' Cup round of [-]. This time, their opponent is from Croatia team, Dinamo Zagreb.

In the early 90s, the situation in Yugoslavia was turbulent, and the people of all nationalities in Yugoslavia who were united under the leadership of Tito had turned against each other and attacked each other.Yugoslavia was divided into six parts around 1991, and the historical hatred among the various ethnic groups in Yugoslavia further intensified, and eventually turned into a civil war.

The technology of the Yugoslav national team before the split is absolutely not lost to any team. They used to be practitioners of artistic football, they used to be dancers on the green field, but they were ultimately political martyrs...

Commemoration is a kind of engraving, always remembering what you don't want to forget.But under the domination of another emotion, commemoration is just to forget, to forget an unforgettable memory...

Take a look at the string of names below:

Mikhainovic, Djukic, Prosinecki, Stojkovic, Boban, Dave Suker, Mijatovic, Pantsev, Savicevic, Yugovi Qi, Boksic, Jarni, Milosevic, Kovac brothers, Zahovic, Jolovic, Kovacevich, Kerriman, Stankovic, Modric...

Remember them and their football?Now they belong to different countries - Serbia and Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina.And now, Savicevic has a new nationality - Montenegro.But, remember, they once fought under the same name - Yugoslavia!

In the Yugoslav youth team that won the championship in 1987, all the names that appeared in the lineup were the names that later shocked the European football. These names represent an era of Yugoslav football. They have written a legend that belongs only to them!

The Italian Summer of 1990?It used to be a gorgeous stage for the Yugoslavs, and they shone brilliantly when they went to the World Cup for the first time.But no one expected that this first time would become their last time...

Although they lost to the powerful German team 1:4 in the first game of the group stage, the young Yugoslavia team was in full swing since then.Not only did they qualify from the group, Stojkovic's free kick in overtime in the quarter-finals defeated Spain, who also had a gorgeous lineup!

In the quarter-finals, Yugoslavia used ten people to suppress the Argentine XI with Maradona as the core and attacked for 10 minutes (Sabanajovic was misjudged by the referee in the 31st minute of the first half. until the second yellow card was sent off), and finally lost 2:3 in the penalty shootout!Stojkovic said after the game: "It's nothing to miss a penalty, the next World Cup is ours!" But what he didn't expect was that this game was the swan song of Yugoslavia in an international competition.

In 1991, Red Star Belgrade lifted the Toyota Cup aloft in Tokyo.Savicevic's early red card saw them face a full [-]-man team from Chile's Colo Colo early on, but what did we see?Three wonderful goals directly kicked the flailing Chilean back to his hometown.But who would have thought that this would be the last collective performance of a group of Yugoslav geniuses!

It's a land of trouble and trouble - the Romans, the Turks, the Austrians have all occupied it.When there was no one left to enslave them, they themselves fell into civil war.Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (the per capita GDP of Yugoslavia was 1979 US dollars in 2635) who once lived in harmony under Tito's prestige fought against each other in the 90s. Catholic churches, Orthodox churches and mosques once stood together on this land. Nor can they coexist. Suk and Savicevic, Boban and Stojkovic, Boksic and Pantsev, Prosinecki and Yugovich, who once fought side by side, fell helplessly overnight. Became an enemy, a political haze hangs over football, Boban is only allowed to pass the ball to Savicevic at AC Milan...

In the 1992 European Cup, Yugoslavia was banned; in the 1994 World Cup, Yugoslavia was banned; in the 1996 European Cup, Yugoslavia was still banned, all because of the damn war! !A generation of talented players wasted their golden years like this, and the war obliterated their golden years. (In the 1992 European Cup, Yugoslavia, which can be called the "golden generation" in Europe, was suspended, and the Danish team that replaced them finally won the Delaunay Cup.)

Croatia du li, Bosnia and Herzegovina war... The continuous flames of war have looted this "powder keg" of geniuses - the Balkan Peninsula over and over again for a whole decade.These great players can only stand on the stands of the European Cup and the World Cup and watch from a distance—this is their stage, but politics and war have deprived them of the right to perform—they are just spectators—politics has polluted football!

The gorgeous music is still playing.However, the movement only has the first half; the other half is forever missing...

In Zhuang Minge's world, the divided Yugoslavia and Croatia finally entered the World Cup stage in 98, and the group of talented people who had passed their prime shocked the world of Yugoslav football with their last brilliance!In that World Cup, Yugoslavia reached the top [-], and finally lost to the Netherlands in a penalty shootout; while Croatia made it all the way and won the third place in the World Cup in France!

……

The long years of war did not keep the tenacious Croats away from the love of life.Now, the Croats who are far away from the war, while soothing the wounds brought by the war, are doing their best to pursue the life they love.

What should people who are far from war do most?If not for this personal trip to Zagreb.All Zhuang Minge can imagine is the most common answer of "supporting the family and rebuilding the homeland".

Yes, these are all right, Zhuang Mingge felt this on the day he arrived in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia.But he was surprised to find that almost all the local citizens he met, while doing these "ordinary things" hard and earnestly, the most talked about topic was football!

After Zhuang Mingge came to Zagreb, almost every "stranger" he met could find football as a common language. The son who kicked through the door of the neighbor's house, or overheard from two guards in front of the hotel where he was staying, that there was going to be a wonderful street football game in the afternoon on a certain street that was deserted.

Football is something that can soothe people's pain. Zhuang Mingge, who has seen this situation, feels that this is true.
