All-around center

On the last day of May, Real Madrid held a championship parade.

The weather was wonderful and the weather was exceptionally sunny.

The entire city of Madrid is already empty of people. On the route set and announced by Real Madrid, Real Madrid fans have gathered along the way.

They waited excitedly for the arrival of the parade bus.

Not long after, there was a roar of salutes.

A two-decker open-air bus drove slowly from the Bernabeu Stadium.

Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

The crowd went wild.

The entire street, except for the empty roads, was packed with fans.

Looking around, it was crowded and dark.

They all wore Real Madrid jerseys, held various banners and support scarves high, and shouted and cheered loudly towards the parade bus.

On the bus, Real Madrid players also kept spraying champagne at the fans on both sides and waving to interact.

The entire parade will last four hours.

At 9:00, the parade bus departed from the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

At 9:15, we arrived at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Almudena.

At 10:00, arrived at the Madrid Autonomous Region Headquarters.

10:45, arrived at the city hall.

At 11:40, arrive at Cibeles Square (Harvest Goddess Square).

12:10, back to the Bernabeu Stadium.

The entire championship parade was extremely lively, as if the whole city was boiling.

Under such a grand ceremony, Real Madrid players also became restless.

Their faces were rosy, and they were extremely excited when they saw the fans celebrating the championship with them.

At this moment, their desire for the championship became even stronger.

Unlike other ordinary teams, Real Madrid does not just need to win the championship once.

They are a top club in their own right, and the more Champions League champions they have, the better.

Therefore, they do not believe that they will suffer from what is known as champion syndrome.

The silver-white big ear cup was held high by Casillas.

In an instant, the entire intersection roared.

Looking down from the sky, crowds of people crowded all the roads in an endless stream.

Some people couldn't even squeeze to the front and couldn't see the bus, but they still raised their arms and shouted in celebration along with the excited crowd.

Arriving at the city hall, the head coach, captain and mayor gave speeches.

This time, Su Ke did not stand up to speak, which also made the fans feel a little regretful.

At noon, we took a taxi back home.

Continuing on a different route towards the Santiago Bernabeu.

Amidst the boiling scenery and the roaring Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid players once again lifted the championship trophy high under the gaze of countless people.

This scene was recorded on camera by numerous media outlets.

This was also the beginning of Real Madrid's glorious renaissance.

Croatia, Zagreb,

"Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, Real Madrid started their championship parade, and the entire city of Madrid was in an uproar. This season is memorable for Real Madrid and their fans."

In the morning, with the sound of news on the TV, the family was eating breakfast.

One of the teenagers had a piece of bread in his mouth and looked at the TV without blinking.

To be precise, he was looking at the figure standing at the forefront of the crowd on the TV.

Suk!

Croatian heroes are also proud!

He is also Kovacic’s idol.

"Have a good breakfast. Do you want to go to the national team training center today?" the middle-aged woman opposite said, patting the table.

Hearing this, Kovacic immediately turned his head and started stuffing breakfast into his mouth.

He nodded vigorously and said excitedly; "Starting from today is training. We need to live in the training center. This is to prepare for the European Cup qualifier against Georgia on June 4!"

Mother asked; "Will you show up?"

Before Kovacic spoke, his father reminded him: "He has just been recruited into the national team, and he is only 17 years old. There is little chance of playing. It is probably Mr. Besic who took him to experience the atmosphere of the competition in advance."

Speaking of this, Kovacic's father grinned and said: "I'm afraid of losing when he comes on the field. Let's leave it to the main players like Su Ke. They can play steadily!"

"Father!" Kovacic shouted in dissatisfaction.

My father also turned his head in embarrassment.

But this was what he said from his heart. He knew his son's virtues well, but his irritable character still needed to be tempered.

At present, Croatia has won six consecutive victories in the European Cup qualifiers. As long as it defeats Grunia, it can advance to the European Cup main competition in advance.

This is the time to be more cautious.

It’s not that you can’t give it to yourself. You can play against a weak team like Malta in September and just go up and feel the atmosphere.

Although Kovacic is his son, he pays more attention to the stable performance of the Croatian national team than his son's performance.

After all, this Croatian national team is different from other times.

Their goal is the Hercules Cup!

"I'm going!"

Kovacic wore the Croatian national team training jersey and rode his road bike towards the training center.

The weather is beautiful, the warm and cool wind blows on your face, and your mood is extremely comfortable.

Since being recruited into the national team in May, he has successively conducted a number of training sessions.

One of the things that impressed Kovacic the most was the oxygen mask training.

At that time, not only him, but also the main players of the Croatian national team, such as Mandzukic and Vukojevic, were vomiting one by one.

That week was called a hell week, but after that hellish physical training, they could clearly feel the increase in physical strength and good extreme sports performance, which became their biggest gain.

Kovacic believes that every day in the national team is fulfilled.

Being in contact with different players, and these people have more experience and skills than myself, you can learn a lot from them.

Kovacic has an outgoing personality and a sweet mouth, so he is very popular among his teammates.

For example, he had previously pestered Vukojevic for advice on defensive positioning. Under his persuasion, Vukojevic also taught him a lot of things.

But what he found most rewarding was the performance of Modric, who returned from the Champions League final two days ago, in the match.

Just by observing with the naked eye, Kovacic learned many midfield tricks, such as the timing of observation, ball selection, how to organize and stabilize the rhythm.

Modric is always able to help the team stabilize the midfield with stable and simple passes.

In Kovacic's view, Modric is already too good to be matched.

But this kind of Manchester United, where Modric and the elite gathered, lost to Suker's Real Madrid.

Therefore, Kovacic is curious about what kind of playing style Suker has in reality.

Not long after, Kovacic had arrived at the training center.

"Good morning!"

Kovacic waved hello to the security personnel and turned into the national team training center on his bicycle.

Walking along the road to the locker room, he put his bicycle against the wall, then opened the door and walked into the locker room.

"good morning everyone!"

Kovacic's clear voice sounded.

There were many people gathered in the locker room, and they all greeted Kovacic one after another.

Compared with the boring Brozovic, Kovacic's cheerful personality is very likable.

Hum~~hum~~hum~~~

Kovacic hummed a song and changed clothes, looking very excited.

"you are happy?"

Brozovich asked from the side.

Kovacic smiled and shrugged; "Of course, we started training together today, and"

Kovacic's eyes sparkled brightly.

"Suk and the captain are also returning to the team today, right?"

The latter is incidental, the former is the key!

Suk!

This is Suk!

Kovacic served as Suker's caddy when Suker was at Dinamo Zagreb. Since then, Suker has been the target of hard training.

Years passed in a flash.

Suker has crossed the Alps and stands at the top of the entire European football world.

For Kovacic, he has always dreamed of standing on the same court and playing in the same camp as Suker.

In years of training, Kovacic's biggest dream is to pass the ball and assist Suker.

It must be great to assist your idol by yourself!

Brozovic glanced at the over-excited Kovacic, pursed his lips, shook his head and said: "I hope you have a strong heart!"

Brozovich knows exactly what kind of person Suk is.

At that time, when they first met, Suk broke all the filters he had for heroes and idols.

Of course, it's not that he no longer likes Su Ke.

But it’s about being unable to continue beautifying Su Ke.

After all, ‘that scene’ was so impactful at the time.

At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the door.

It was not the sound of one or two people approaching.

After a moment, the locker room door was pushed open.

One by one, Croatia's main players pushed through the door.

The first ones who came in were Mandzukic and Vukojevic, then Srna and Modric, and finally, under the gaze of everyone, Suker finally appeared in the locker room.

In an instant, the eyes of all the newcomers in the locker room were focused on Su Ke.

But the main players didn't care much about it and just talked about whatever they needed to.

"You are so bad! Just after leaving Schalke 04, they have already reached the semi-finals of the Champions League!"

Suker said towards Rakitic.

Rakitic pouted: "At least I can play in the Europa League. Some people have not been able to win the Bundesliga championship. Oh, by the way, the Bundesliga champion is still their old club!"

Hearing this, Mandzukic was furious: "So what? At least I can play in the Champions League! Unlike some people, who play in the Champions League as a substitute!"

Everyone turned to look at Duimovich.

Duimovich; "???"

Suker looked at Rakitic with a smile; "Just say, you won't regret it later, stay at Schalke 04 and transfer next season, your worth will definitely double!"

"No regrets!" Rakitic frowned; "This is no better than someone losing the championship!"

"Fuck you!" Mandzukic pointed at Duimovic; "Am I not better than those guys who played in the Champions League as substitutes and were scolded by the fans in the end?"

Duimovich: "You are just cursing me in a roundabout way!"

Suk smiled and waved his hand: "Calm down, what's so exciting about this?"

Rakitic; "I'm not excited, it's the guy who lost the championship who should be excited!"

Mandzukic: "I'm not excited either. I'm better than those who were substituted in the Champions League and driven away by the fans."

"I'll tear your mouth apart!!!"

Duimovich rushed over and the two got into a fight again.

Everyone looked at this scene with laughter.

The main players were reminiscing about old times, while the substitutes were curiously looking at these Croatian main players who dominated Europe.

Mandzukic, Bayern Munich's main center.

Modric, the core of Manchester United's midfield.

Suker, Real Madrid's number one star.

Srna, Real Madrid's main right back, has just won the Triple Crown.

Rakitic, Serbian core player.

It can be said that these are all top players in the five major leagues, and they are not the same as these substitutes.

At this time, Srna stood up.

"Please be quiet, there are two newcomers!"

With that said, Srna walked towards the opposite side.

After a while, he led two people over.

"My name is Domagoi Vida. I play as a central defender. You can call me Vida."

Vader looked nervous.

At the beginning of this season, he moved to Dinamo Zagreb and finally played in the game.

Although it was a bit regretful to leave the Bundesliga, he also performed well in the game.

Now he has been called up to the national team based on his performance.

But looking at the main players in front of him who had already represented Croatia against the world's powerful players, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Compared to Vidal, Kovacic performed better.

"Hello, my name is Mateo Kovacic and I am seventeen years old."

Hearing this, Su Ke and others looked at each other.

17 years old?

He's so fucking young.

"I play as a midfielder, and my biggest dream is to assist Suker!"

Everyone turned to look at Suk.

Su Ke was also stunned for a moment.

Is this flattering yourself?

Suker had some impression of Kovacic, but too much time passed and he couldn't remember clearly.

"Have you ever been my caddy?" Suk asked.

Kovacic nodded vigorously; "Yes, I was your caddy. I was only 11 years old at the time!"

Suker smiled and patted Kovacic on the shoulder: "You have a great dream!"

"Fuck!"

Duimovich grinned on the side; "Suk, would you like to have some face?"

Su Ke turned around and glared: "What's wrong? I scored a goal, but you didn't win? Are you still standing opposite me?"

Duimovich shook his head; "I want you to have some face!"

"Is it more important to have a good face or to score goals?"

Everyone else shouted in unison; "Goal!"

Mandzukic added a last-ditch shot: "You have been chased away by the fans once, what do you have? Ouch~~~ I was wrong!!!"

Mandzukic and Duimovic were in trouble again.

After a while, Mandzukic held Duimovic up, and Suker grabbed Duimovic's feet and used the soles of his feet to rub and massage the opponent's crotch!

There was also laughter in the locker room.

At this time, the door to the locker room was pushed open and Van Steyak walked in.

"Everyone gather at the training ground!"

After saying that, he glanced at Duimovich, who was lying on the ground, grinning with his teeth bared and crying while laughing, shook his head and said, "Stop making trouble!"

Vansteyak also shook his head and sighed.

Each of these guys are already Bensan people, and together they become a group of children.

However, he also lamented the atmosphere in the Croatian locker room.

This is related to the fact that they are both players at the same time and went from the club to the national team together. It is strange that the relationship is not good.

Not long after, everyone gathered at the training ground.

In front of Besic, they did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Especially when they saw Besic acting serious with a straight face, they did not dare to cause trouble.

Under the leadership of the coach, the players began a simple warm-up and then prepared for the European Cup qualifiers.

In the European Cup qualifiers on June 4, Croatia faced Georgia at home.

After this game, Croatia has won seven consecutive victories, and they will also qualify for the European Cup three rounds in advance.

Therefore, this game is quite crucial.

Besic needs to ensure that this game ends smoothly and successfully.

Today's Croatia can be said to be strong and strong, and each of Suker's players has reached his peak state.

Not only Suker, Modric, Mandzukic, Srna, Rakitic, Vukojevic and others are all in the best condition.

Even compared to 2008, their overall strength has further improved.

Besic wants to defend the European Cup title, which is also the first result he is about to deliver after coaching the Croatian national team.

Defending the title is the biggest goal, but it is not the entire mission.

Among them is the update.

For example, the two central defenders Simunic and Kovac are old and their condition has declined somewhat. Based on the strength level of other positions, they will not expose problems.

But this is not what Besic wants to see.

For this reason, Vida and Lovren need to smoothly transition into the main central defenders in this European Cup.

Lovren's performance at the club is very good.

Although Lyon's performance is no longer as strong as before 2010, it can fully reflect the highest level of Ligue 1. They have also qualified for the Champions League and gained training.

After Vida left the Bundesliga, he once again performed stably at Dinamo Zagreb.

Vida and Lovren are two different types of central defenders.

Vader is more stable, while Lovren is more aggressive and likes to fight.

To this end, Besic needs to hone Vida's positioning sense and Lovren's success rate when grabbing.

With such a one-on-one arrangement, the back line can be used to deal with troubles at critical moments.

However, these are still assumptions and need to be advanced step by step. There are also many problems.

For example, Vader is prone to hesitation and is not bold enough, so he will lose the opportunity to defend.

Lovren is relatively more aggressive, but because he is aggressive and likes to grab, he sometimes makes mistakes in positioning and has loopholes behind him, which causes Lovren to become a "leaky Lovren".

However, their potential is still very high.

In addition, the other three full-back substitutes also need further training.

Guys like Joel Luka, Strinic, and Vrsaljko will all be substitutes for Planic and Srna.

Besic wants to incorporate their own playing style into this Croatian team.

An iron-blooded defense system belonging to Eastern Europe!

The European Cup is just a transitional period, and all their preparations are for the 2014 World Cup!
