"What? That Inter Su is injured?"
Early the next morning!
Oleg Blokhin received a piece of news in his office that suddenly made him feel much more relaxed.
"Yes, boss, the reporters broke it out. It seems that Su strained his thigh in the Inter Milan league. In order to participate in this world preliminaries, he came here with force, but it seems that last night, His injuries are getting worse!"
"Um...this...couldn't this be a smoke bomb released by that guy Bilic?"
"Boss, I think Bilic won't be so boring. Besides, Su has only joined the Croatian national team for less than a month. I think Bilic will still discuss with us about such an important game." Same thing, let Olic and Eduardo start!"
"Well, this is indeed the most likely! If Olic comes on, then Haceridi and Almeida can continue to start. Although the two of them can't limit Su, but Olic, it should be fine. What a big problem!”
"Boss, I think so too. There is no need to care too much about Su. For Croatia, Su is just a newcomer. Bilic cannot take such a big risk to replace Oli with Su Qin, a newcomer." Strangely, Olic scored his third Bundesliga goal of the season in the Bundesliga last week. In this state, there should be no problem for Olic to start!"
"Yeah! That's it!"
The assistant coach's words finally convinced Oleg Blokhin, who was still hesitating.
In the last game played in Croatia, it was the tacit cooperation of Hacheridi and Almeida that successfully froze Olic's point, allowing Ukraine to successfully score 3 points in the away game.
In this game, as long as Ukraine can hold on to the backcourt.
Even if it's a draw, Oleg Blokhin won't be able to accept it.
.....................
"came back?"
At noon!
Su Qin, who had been staying in the hotel all morning, finally met Modric.
"Um!"
After washing his face, Modric sat firmly on the sofa and replied.
Just when the Croatian team gathered in the morning, Karbazi mysteriously took Su Qin away.
After that, the reporter broke the news that Su Qin was injured.
Without even thinking about it, the other Croatian players knew that their philandering head coach was causing trouble again.
Uh, don’t say it yet!
Before some important games on the football field, this kind of little trick that doesn't look very upright can often really determine the trend of a game.
"Su, I wonder how Oleg Blokhin will react when he sees you in the starting position alive and well again during tonight's game?"
"Um...I don't know what Oleg Blokhin's reaction was, but I know Jose's reaction."
"Haha, Jose? Mourinho called you?"
"Yes, not long after Bilic released the news, Jose got a call. He insisted on letting me go back to Milan right now, and kept complaining about Bilic's unprofessionalism. He clearly left. When he was there, he injured someone in training all morning before the game!"
.............
It's 7pm local time in Ukraine.
It’s less than an hour before the life-and-death match between Ukraine and Croatia officially begins.
The bus full of Croatian players finally appeared in the inner passage of Lobanovsky Stadium.
Not many Croatian fans came.
The entire Lobanovsky Stadium was basically filled with Ukrainian fans wearing yellow jerseys.
There is no way, with a sparse population and a not-so-rich life, countless Croatian fans who want to come to support their team can only stay by the TV and pray that God will favor them. It is a devastated country.
football!
Perhaps it is the only thing that can comfort the suffering Croats.
When the bus slowly drove into the parking lot inside the stadium.
Bilic got off the car and immediately strode to the pre-match press conference.
Wait until the press conference.
Only then did Bilic see his opponent tonight, Oleg Blokhin, already sitting on the stage.
After greeting him with a smile, Bilic quickly sat down.
A very calm press conference.
The only concern of the reporters at the scene was whether the nuclear warhead Shevchenko could lead Ukraine to the World Cup again.
.....................
Oleg Blokhin was happy.
At least, until now, everything that happened was as expected.
After returning to the locker room, Oleg Blokhin took the time to explain to his players the tactical issues required in the game.
However!
When the assistant coach hurriedly handed Oleg Blokhin the latest starting list.
Oleg Blokhin, who was explaining the tactics in a gentle manner just now, suddenly became violent.
"This son of a bitch Bilic!"
Oleg Blokhin said these words.
The Ukrainian players sitting around Oleg Blokhin also felt nervous.
Especially Hacheridi and Almeida, who have just been given the task of guarding Olic by Oleg Blokhin.
After sneaking a look at the starting list held by the assistant coach.
Hacheridi and Almeida were immediately stunned!
A moment!
They recalled the agonizing forty-five minutes a week ago.
That pervert, it really only took forty-five minutes to defeat their Kiev.
A week has obviously passed, but the scene that almost made them despair is going to happen again on the same turf?
.............
"Sheep TV station!"
"Sheep TV station!"
"This is the seventh game of Group Six of the 2010 World Cup European Qualifiers being broadcast live for you."
"Croatia challenges Ukraine away from home!"
"The players from both teams are already standing in their respective halves!"
"Well, what makes many Chinese fans happy is that Su Qin, who was recently exposed by the media and will miss the World Cup preliminaries due to injury, has reappeared in the starting lineup!"
"Furthermore, judging from Su Qin's warm-up actions before, Su Qin doesn't seem to have any thigh injury as the reporters said!"
"Forehead!"
"alright!"
"The referee is already looking at his watch!"
"Beep!!!"
"With the referee's whistle!"
"The game has officially begun!"
"First is the starting lineup of both sides!"
"Wearing the traditional white and red plaid jersey, the visiting team Croatia's starting goalkeeper attacking from left to right: No. 1 Pletikosa!"

"On the back line: No. 2 Manziyuk is on the right, No. 6 Khaceridi and No. 16 Almeida are in the center, and No. 13 Shevchuk is on the left!"
"In the midfield position: No. 4 Shchuk is behind, No. 21 Aliyev is slightly forward, No. 19 Kalinichenko and No. 18 Nazarenko are on the left and right!"
"Forward: Veteran No. 7 Shevchenko and No. 15 high center Milevsky partner!"
At the Lobanovsky Stadium in Kiev!
At the same time the whistle sounded.
The 20-year-old young player Perisic looked at Su Qin, who was two years younger than him, with envy.
And in the stands behind him!
Countless radical Ukrainian fans were still singing the Ukrainian national anthem.
Maybe in their opinion.
The starless Croatia in front of them is just a stepping stone for Ukraine to return to the World Cup.
