Chapter 50 Arrival in Sarajevo

As the weekend game approaches, Mostar Zlinyiski is still actively preparing for the game.

Their high-position pressing training has become more and more skillful, especially when multiple people work together to attack and intercept.

Uh-huh! !

Su Ke intercepted the ball with a sliding tackle.

This was not a reluctant interception like before, but a very stable control of the ball at his feet.

The opponent intercepts the ball in the half and can directly turn around and launch a counterattack.

Suker showed this kind of interception many times in this game.

"Suker's condition is getting better and better, not only on the offensive end. With his active running, he cooperates with his teammates to intercept the ball many times and successfully completes the counterattack."

Assistant coach Van Dier nodded in admiration.

Van Steyak also nodded: "Suker's retracement and positioning when defending are very reasonable. He can always appear in a certain position where the opponent wants to pass the ball, limiting the opponent's passing route, and then Press forward and cooperate with teammates to intercept."

"Although limited by his body, it is difficult to intercept on his own, but when his teammates cooperate with him, the interception efficiency is still very high."

Assistant coach Van Dier: "Modric's pressing in the midfield is also very active."

As the game approaches, what makes the coaching staff most gratified is that the high-post press has become very good based on the performance of Suker and Modric.

Under the leadership and running of these two young people, the overall performance was also very outstanding.

"That's it for today's training. Today we're going to Sarajevo!"

Van Steyak called a halt to the training match.

The players also stopped training and returned to the locker room one after another to wash up and pack their bags.

"Sarajevo, this is my first time going there!"

"It's my first time too!"

"I wonder if it's anything fun."

"We are going to compete, not to have fun!"

While everyone was packing their packages, they were also communicating.

After all, Mostar is a small town, and Sarajevo, as the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, naturally makes the players a little yearning.

Su Ke put sneakers, socks, shin guards and other equipment into his backpack, picked up the backpack and said, "I'm going to the car first."

The bus was already waiting at the door of the locker room. Suk walked on the bus and found a seat by the window.

After a while, teammates began to walk up one after another.

The seats are not fixed, but they have their own familiar positions.

For example, Suker likes to sit by the window, while Modric likes to sit next to Suker.

Sarajevo is not far from Mostar, about 100 kilometers away.

For this reason, the team decided to move by bus.

First there is about 30 kilometers of dirt roads, and then there is the highway.

At first, everyone was a little uncomfortable with the bumps, and some even suffered from motion sickness.

But fortunately, they acted one day in advance, so there was still time to adjust.

After entering the highway, the road was smooth and they felt much more comfortable.

For an hour and a half, after climbing over a ridge, the outline of Sarajevo emerged in a basin.

This is a city of great significance, both for Bosnia and Herzegovina and for the world.

After entering the city and driving for almost ten minutes, everyone came to a bridge across the river.

This is the Mirjac River, which divides Sarajevo in two like the Neretva River.

The river water reflects the sun and sparkles.

Not far away, there is also an ancient bridge.

Modric pointed to the ancient bridge; "That's the Latin Bridge!"

Suk turned to look over.

This is an ordinary bridge that cannot be more ordinary.

However, a shocking assassination occurred on this bridge, which indirectly caused the world to fall into war.

Looking at the peaceful scene in front of me, it is difficult to connect those turbulent years with this bridge standing on the calm river.

The Miriat River flows quietly, with the scenery on both sides remaining the same as before and throngs of tourists.

The newly renovated Latin Bridge remains intact and seems to connect the city's past and future.

Occasionally, citizens pass by in a hurry, and occasionally beggars lie on the bridge.

A few pigeons flew through the air from time to time, flapping their wings and flying over the ancient bridge.

The problems of the times belong to the times, and the past only remains in memory.

The theme now in Sarajevo and around the world is peace and development!

"worn out!"

After getting off the bus, Suk moved his body.

The journey of more than an hour is not far, but it is too bumpy, and the space in the bus is also a bit tight, making it difficult to stretch out.

The buses in Mostar Zlinyiski are still old-fashioned buses without air conditioning and with windows that can be opened.

While driving, the strong smell of diesel is even more uncomfortable.

Fortunately, they have successfully arrived at their destination.

Under the leadership of Van Steyak, the players completed the check-in procedures and immediately walked into their rooms one by one.

Suker and Modric are still sworn roommates.

After entering the room, Modric began to pack his luggage, while Suker turned on the TV.

Recently, there has been a lot of hype about the match between Mostar Zlinijski and Sarajevo.

In this era, the Internet is not developed, and there is no self-media with explosive traffic in later generations. Many news and channels must be obtained through the media and television.

When Suker turned on the sports channel dedicated to Bosnia and Herzegovina, the first thing that appeared was news about the Champions League.

In this week's Champions League match, Ronaldo, an alien who just joined Real Madrid this season, scored with a long-distance run, helping Real Madrid defeat their opponent 2:0.

On the old-fashioned TV, under the blurry picture quality, Ronaldo was wearing the white jersey of Real Madrid, and his impact on the defense was still so terrifying.

No matter how hard the opponent's defenders pulled him, he remained standing, even wading his way through the crowd.

The last-minute shot was from an angle so tricky that it gave people goosebumps.

"So strong!"

Suk couldn't help but admire.

Modric also stopped what he was doing, looked at the TV, and said, "Such a forward will scare any defense."

Real Madrid is definitely the most eye-catching club in football right now.

Driven by Real Madrid Chairman Florentino, the news of Real Madrid’s vigorous creation of the ‘Galactic Battleship’ touched the heartstrings of countless people.

Especially in the summer window of this season, after Real Madrid introduced the alien Ronaldo from Inter Milan, everyone understood that Real Madrid was not lying.

Today's Real Madrid lineup is already amazing enough, but Beckham, Woodgate and others will join in the future to finally complete the piece of the Galaxy Battleship.

Just as the two were paying attention to the Champions League matches, the screen suddenly changed and the Bosnia and Herzegovina League logo appeared.

What follows is news about the broadcast of the 14th round of the Bosnia and Herzegovina League.

"At 3 o'clock this afternoon, HSK from Mostar officially arrived in Sarajevo. They will have a focus battle with Sarajevo, which currently ranks first in the Bosnia and Herzegovina League!"

"Mostar Zlinijski has made major changes this season. The Croatian genius Luka Modric, who joined Mostar Zlinyiski last season, has become the most watched young player at present."

On the TV, there was a picture of Modric playing in the game.

The young Modric directed the rhythm of the midfield and showed excellent midfield organization and dispatching abilities.

"For the young Modric, he is about to face Mescapeci and Tolist who have been in the five major leagues. This is a huge challenge for him. Facing strong veterans, can geniuses Can you still show your own performance? This makes us look forward to it very much."

"Kosopeč has always been a troublesome center forward for Sarajevo. His presence makes..."

The commentator's eloquent introduction mentioned all the important players in each position.

But throughout the whole process, he said nothing about Su Ke.

"Don't say a word? That's too much!"

Suk felt depressed.

Although he is not as famous as Modric, he is still somewhat unique, right?

Aren’t you going to play with traffic in this era?

Is his 160cm center so inconspicuous?

The host on the TV couldn't hear Su Ke's complaint. He continued:

"Suk Bacic, this is a young man born and raised in Sarajevo. He has shown amazing football talent since he was a child and has superior physical fitness. Now 18 years old, Suk Bacic has led the way with 9 goals. Scorer list, after winning the Bosnia and Herzegovina Premier League Silver Boot last season, he began to challenge for the top scorer this season."

"Suk Bacic is currently the most promising young player. He is a rare talent in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He is also the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina football!"

On the TV, Suk Bazic's photo hangs in the most eye-catching position in the middle.

This is a boy with brown curly hair, some freckles on his face, thin lips, and a pair of slender eyes on his straight aquiline nose, which gives people a sharp feeling.

Below are the height and weight data about Suk Bazic.

[Name: Suk Bazic]

[Height: 191 cm]

[Weight: 85kg]

Snap!

The television was suddenly turned off.

Modric turned his head and looked over, only to see Suk waving his hands and saying, "It's boring, take a rest and wait for the game tomorrow."

Modric looked at Suk, nodded slightly, and then climbed into bed to rest.

Suk was holding back some energy in his heart.

His performance this season was good, but he was not mentioned at all. It was Suk Bazic the whole time, which made him feel very unhappy.

Of course, he also knew that Suk Bazic was born in Sarajevo and was a direct descendant of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

But he just wasn't happy!
