In fact, if you look carefully, Chinese football still has the shadow of former Yugoslavia football.

When New China was first founded, it was very poor, and the same was true for football. The enlightenment of football in New China was helped by Hungary and Yugoslavia, friendly countries at the time.

But in the early years, football's presence in Chinese society was very low, and to be honest, leaders did not pay much attention to it. It was not until the International Olympic Committee and FIFA that football truly entered the eyes of the people.

Former FIFA President and Brazilian Havelange has said more than once that his greatest achievement is to return China to FIFA.

Because of the good bilateral relations with Yugoslavia, Chinese football has learned a lot from them since the 1980s, including the simultaneous development of physical skills, the emphasis on the basic routines of both wings flying together on the wing, and the combination of wing and center.

In those years, the forwards who were still able to compete in Asia were getting better and faster. From the players to the whole, the style of Chinese football has been moving closer to the Eastern European Latin school represented by Yugoslavia football.

When professionalism was fully implemented, head coaches from the former Yugoslavia came one after another.

Xhosa, Dui, Santraci, Folado, Petkovic, Tubakovich, Ostojec, Peter the Elder, Blazevic, Antic...etc. , as well as Milu, the meritorious coach of Chinese football, and almost all coaches with some reputation in the former Yugoslavia have come to China to earn a salary.

Learning from Germany, learning from Brazil, learning from Italy, learning from the United Kingdom... It’s different to learn from the four. In fact, it means that you haven’t learned football from the former Yugoslavia well, and you haven’t learned from other people’s things.

In November, 73-year-old Milu and 52-year-old Guangzhou R\u0026F head coach Dragan Stojkovic sat next to each other in the stands.

Stojkovic was the core midfielder during the heyday of Yugoslav football, and was nicknamed "Maradona of the Northern Hemisphere" at the time. In the Champions League final between Red Star and Marseille more than 20 years ago, he only came on as a substitute in overtime due to injury, but he was a Marseille player at the time.

After the 2000 European Cup, the 35-year-old Stojkovic retired and immediately served as chairman of the Serbian and Montenegrin Football Association. After that, he served as chairman of Red Star Club for two years. In 2008, he gave up politics to pursue art and began his coaching career with Nagoya Grampus in Japan's J-League.

In early November, the 2017 Chinese Super League season had just ended. Stojkovic’s Guangzhou R\u0026F ranked fifth, with a very good input-output ratio. Stojkovic's coaching has been unanimously recognized, but he is still hesitant to renew his contract because he would rather lead the Serbian national team to play in the World Cup in Russia next year.

Acting head coach Krstajic did not want to miss such an opportunity. For his first game as coach and a good start under the nose of his rival Stojkovic, he brought the Chinese lineup and retained all the main players from the World Cup preliminaries.

Although Serbian football has lost its former glory, most of its national players are still playing in mainstream European leagues. Roman Kolarov, Manchester United Matic and Zenit Ivanovic are the three big players in the team. guy.

However, except for the three of them, not many others can make a name for themselves in the club. They are either the main players of small teams or dead substitutes of big clubs.

The weakest link of the Serbian national football team is currently recognized as the goalkeeper. This is similar to boss May's Argentina, but the disease is deeper. Serbia's main goalkeeper is 34-year-old Vladimir Stojkovic. Last season he played himself from the main force to the substitute to the third goal in the British Championship Nottingham Forest. This season he has returned to the Serbian domestic guerrilla team.

If Germany turns around and offers help, Fostoy only has 1 million, which is not as good as Wang Dalei, the second goalkeeper of the Chinese team.

The biggest and only change in Krstajic's Serbian national football team compared to the qualifiers is that he recruited 22-year-old Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Since the era of Stojkovic and the Three Musketeers, Serbian football's frontcourt has become increasingly bleak. Zigic, Milosevic and the like are short-lived and have relied on old age for many years. The toothy Stankovic held on.

Serbia's talents in recent years have all been in the midfield and backfield, especially the defense. Vidic, Ivan, Kolarov, and Subotic are all wealthy players. The midfield and frontcourt are really lackluster, and saying they are at the Super League level is definitely not enough to eliminate them.

But the emergence of Milinkovic seems to have hope of breaking the bleak situation in the midfield and frontcourt.

The summer before last, Lazio shamelessly snatched Milinko from Genk in Belgium. Originally, he and Fiorentina had already reached an agreement. Two years later, Milinenko is known as "White Pogba" in Serie A. Because this nickname is not politically correct, people now call him "Little Meng Er".

I don’t know why, but the old coach Muslien despised Milinko and never recruited him. This has also become one of the conflicts between him and the old players. After taking office as agent, Krstad followed suit and immediately asked Milinko to come to China with him. Today is also his first appearance and first start on behalf of the national team.

Milinco is very gregarious. As soon as he came to China, he spent two nights with the old team members. Once he was accompanied by Cheng Hao and Lombardo, and once he went there on his own because they were familiar with each other, and he didn't avoid reporters much. According to the newspaper All boarded.

"Captain Zhuo, these guys are looking down on us a bit." Zheng Zhi frowned: "I've heard of prostitution, but I've never seen it look like this before the game. They're not here to compete, they're just here for prostitution."

Zhuoyang has long heard about the virtues of this group of veteran players, so he is not surprised. In fact, the entire former Yugoslav football circle and even Eastern Europe are not very particular about this aspect, and are much more social than Western European players.

"As long as they don't eat the King's meal and don't have sex for nothing, it doesn't matter." Zhuo Yang comforted Zheng Zhi: "There is no need to be jealous."

"Who is jealous? Who?" Old Zheng shook his head anxiously.

In fact, Serbia's relaxed attitude before the game was related to the instructions they received from the top before leaving.

China and Serbia have been deeply friendly for decades. Especially after China and the Soviet Union fell out, Yugoslavia was the only Eastern European country to support China. The Chinese have good intentions, so they have freed up their hands in recent years. China has vigorously helped Serbia, which is extremely excluded in Europe, and the two countries have cooperated in many fields. On January 15 this year, China and Serbia officially implemented mutual visa exemption.

What the top management of Serbia means: Just win, the relationship is good, don’t make it too ugly for the Chinese team to win.

Coincidentally, the Chinese team also received similar instructions from the top management: China is a hospitable country, and old friends coming, that's about it.

Team leader Yang Chen came to ask Zhuo Yang what to do. Zhuo Yang said: It's okay. I'll take care of it on the court. Just ask Zago to make more substitutions.

Zhuo Yang, You Deshui, Lei Zi, Hao Junmin, Kadasi, Li Ke, Ma Luo, Zhang Tiedan, Jiang Guangtai, Zhang Chendong, Yan Heya.

‘Beep——’ Ma Ning, the Chinese Super League golden whistle, sounded the flute, and the game began.
