Golden Greenery

The drastic changes in Eastern Europe more than 20 years ago changed the world structure, had a profound impact on the historical and political process of mankind, and also had a profound impact on China.

For ordinary Chinese, the disintegration of the former Soviet Union was definitely shocking enough, but the disappearance of Yugoslavia was even more regrettable and even a little sad.

From Yugoslavia to Yugoslavia, then to Serbia and Montenegro, and now to Serbia, a beautiful and ancient country has become riddled with holes. A romantic place with handsome men and beautiful women everywhere that many people yearn for has become the edge of Europe. .

Not to mention Yugoslav football, the last non-Western European team to have won the Champions League was Red Star.

In May of that year, Red Star defeated Marseille on penalties at the San Nicola Stadium in Bari, Italy. After winning and returning, their country was gone, and many teammates who grew up together became strangers in different countries.

Legally speaking, Serbia inherited the national system of Yugoslavia, but from a football perspective, Croatia has always been the most dazzling presence in former Yugoslavia football, while Serbia has regressed very obviously.

In the five World Cups since the disintegration, Serbia (including Serbia and Montenegro) failed to pass the knockout rounds twice and finished last in the group twice. It only made it to the top 16 in Iran and the United States.

In the seven European Cups after the disintegration, six missed the main draw. Only in 2000, they were beaten 6:1 by the Netherlands in the quarterfinals.

In the European zone of the 2018 Russian World Cup qualifiers, Serbia was also quite bumpy. They were placed in Group D with Ireland, Wales and Austria. As for Georgia and Moldova, they were all visitors.

Ireland's English Premier League and the Scottish Premiership are inferior, Wales has Gareth Bale and Ramsey, and Austria is either Red Bull Salzburg or the Bundesliga. The strength of the three teams is not shabby. This group is called the 'civilian version of death' group'.

However, Serbia still relied on its stable output of a 1:0 victory over Georgia in the last round to lead Ireland by 2 points and become the first in the group, thus passing directly to Russia.

So in the last two international match days of 2017, those unsatisfactory teams went to play in the play-offs with knives in their mouths, while Serbia came to China leisurely and played a friendly match with the Chinese national team.

This game is not even a 'friendship' at the football level. China and Serbia have exempted each other from visas starting this year.

The head coach who led Serbia to China is 43-year-old Mladen Krstajic. The match against the Chinese team will be Chu Zizhan coached by Krstajic, and he is also an old rival of Zhuoyang in the Bundesliga era.

Before 2004, Krstajic played for Werder Bremen. In the 2002-03 German Cup semi-finals, the third-division team Madiburg relied on Zhuo Yang's buzzer-beater in the second round, and the total score of the two rounds was A 3:3 draw with Werder Bremen, the Bundesliga giant, and miraculously reached the DFB Cup final that year by virtue of the away goal advantage.

In those two rounds, Krstajic, as the team's main central defender, started and played the entire game. He can be regarded as the first defender to witness Zhuoyang's legendary football journey, and he is quite honored.

In the summer of 2004, Zhuo Yang and Madibo landed in the Bundesliga, and Krstajic also moved to Schalke. Under Rangnick, he formed an iron-clad central defender combination with Marcelo Boden. Of course, it is indispensable. Continue to compete with Zhuo Yang. The teams have wins and losses, but Zhuo Yang scored 8 goals against Schalke 04 in two years, including a "hat trick curse".

In the summer of 2012, the 38-year-old Krstajic retired from his debut team, Partizan Belgrade.

After the European group stage of the World Cup preliminaries ended last month, Lean, who led Serbia to a shocking qualifying, suddenly announced his resignation, not knowing what he was doing.

It is said that Muslien had a deep conflict with the Serbian Football Association, and his strict team discipline made the Serbian internationals, who were mainly veteran players, very dissatisfied. Press down and press up,

Muslien didn't want to be complacent, so he just threw up his sleeves and left, which was quite a character.

Krstajic is Muslien's assistant coach. Currently he is only an agent, and he is not without competitors. Big bosses in the team support Krstajic becoming a regular player, but some veteran players in the Serbian Football Association want Stojkovic, a former Yugoslav football legend who is now coaching Guangzhou R\u0026F, to take over.

Zhuo Yang didn't care about the infighting in other people's homes, let alone interfere. For him, this friendly match was nothing unusual.

Four days ago, in the 11th round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Arsenal 3:1 at home. In another highlight of the same round, Chelsea defeated Manchester United 1:0 at Stamford Bridge. Morata was stunned.

Manchester United's loss is still in second place, but Manchester City's lead has expanded to eight points. BIG United's 23 stabs, 23 bridges, 22 pools and 1 was less than one-third. The Premier League exclaimed: The championship has lost its suspense.

The day after the game, everyone dispersed to serve their respective countries. The international competition week in November was also the last one in 2017.

Among 43 European countries, Serbia ranked 34th in per capita GDP in 2017, just over 5,000 US dollars. The country's pillar industries are the service industry and agriculture, and the national spiritual pillar is sports. Not only football, but all popular sports are very popular in Serbia.

The country is not rich, and the Football Association's funding is not generous. Zhuoyang's new private plane took him and six other players in Europe to land in Guangzhou, just in time to meet the Serbian national team's intercontinental flight landing.

They met unexpectedly when they came out of the gate. Kolarov said: "I can't even straighten my waist. Lao Zhuo, when we get to your place, I will introduce you to a good place to relax."

Old teammate Alexander Kolarov is now the captain of the Serbian national football team. The original captain and former Chelsea defender Ivanovic was removed from the armband by the strict former head coach Muslien because of his bad habit of clubbing late at night before games. .

In fact, the Serbian national football team, a group of veteran players who play in the five major leagues, are not very serious in life, and the team discipline is relatively casual. Otherwise, they would not have collectively forced the team to quit after their success in the qualifiers, forcing coach Muslien to sack him.

In the summer, Manchester City purged a lot of players, among which Kolarov was the most regrettable. In the end, he was transferred to Roma for 10 million. If he doesn't leave, his ability to make up for the left back, left wing back and center back will still be of great use in Manchester City in the new season.

Kolarov has to leave life or death. Finding a place to play as the main force before the World Cup is one thing. Guardiola's discipline requirements for the team and being more strict than Muslien are also a big factor.

In the new season, Kolarov is firmly positioned as the main left back in Rome, and coach Di Francesco is a fat man who doesn't have as much trouble as Guardiola.

Seeing that Kolarov didn't seem to be joking, Zhuo Yang called Zheng Zhi to ask him to arrange it. Although Lao Zheng has lived in Guangzhou for a long time, he is not a nightclub person at all, so he entrusted the matter to Feng Xiaoting.

Xiao Feng knew a lot about the major events, but he also knew a lot about the national team. He didn’t dare to give himself any advice easily, and quickly waved his hands: I don’t understand, I don’t know anyone.

In the end, it was translator Cheng Hao who stepped forward. He first despised these prudes, and then teamed up with assistant coach Lombardo to spend the whole night with the Serbian national football team.
