Cherreads

Chapter 75 - Chapter 74: Red Card

"Perfect!!!"

At the moment Modrić scored, Atgenić couldn't help but stand up, clapping and cheering.

However, he wasn't out of place in the crowd, as everyone stood up to applaud and cheer for the goal.

Mostar Zrinjski's second goal!

They continuously put pressure on Sarajevo in the first half, breaching their goal twice.

In the final moments of the first half, they delivered another heavy blow.

This goal caused Sarajevo players' morale to plummet.

After scoring, Modrić happily ran towards Šuker.

The two embraced tightly!

"Great pass!"

"Excellent run!"

For this goal, Šuker's sudden lateral movement at the last moment helped the team establish a passing point in the back.

While everyone else was running forward, only Šuker was pulling laterally.

Based on Šuker's pull and his keen sense of space, he delivered a precise through ball, assisting Modrić to score.

This goal also gave Mostar Zrinjski their second goal in the first half.

"Sarajevo is playing very passively, almost no different from the previous match. Despite the lapse of time, they still haven't adapted to Mostar Zrinjski's attacking style!"

"Yes! Sarajevo is also making adjustments, but they haven't found the root of the problem. They simply can't contain Modrić and Šuker!"

Sarajevo's performance is disappointing.

Despite possessing Meskapeci, Torliste, and the Bosnian talent Šuker Bazić, they are being suppressed by the Mostar twins.

They failed to play at their desired pace, and their midfield was thrown into chaos by Šuker and Modrić.

Compared to Sarajevo, Mostar Zrinjski had a much easier time.

Šuker and Modrić.

One in front, one in the back!

These two have become the attacking command center for Mostar Zrinjski!

Modrić's passing and ball control in the backcourt ensure the team's connection and organization.

Šuker's response in the frontcourt, and his keen sense of space, make him the team's attacking commander.

His breakthroughs on the wings have also repeatedly helped the team gain threatening attacks.

On the sidelines, the coaches of Mostar Zrinjski are applauding.

This is the rhythm they want to play.

Regardless of whether it's Sarajevo or anyone else, Mostar Zrinjski plays their own rhythm.

Seize the midfield rhythm, and Meskapeci or Torliste will be led on a merry chase!

In the substitute seat, Štelk was also filled with emotion.

The away win in the previous match already felt incredible to him.

And this home game's suppression of Sarajevo is even more astonishing to him.

He looked at Šuker and Modrić, with a hint of envy and loss in his eyes.

Despite being close, he never integrated into their world.

Talent also has its levels!

Modrić is undoubtedly a child favored by God.

As for Šuker, he thought this guy would be severely taught a lesson by Šuker Bazić, but the opposite was true.

The limelight of this Bosnian talent Šuker Bazić was completely overshadowed.

In the confrontation with Šuker, this guy was like a silly, stunned telephone pole.

"Hey! Run! This isn't the game we should be playing. We need to be more proactive! What are you all doing!"

Šuker Bazić roared at his teammates.

At this time, Šuker Bazić no longer had his usual composure, and he seemed extremely anxious.

They were already two goals behind!

What a disgusting game they were playing!

Šuker Bazić's complaints continued to ring out, and the expressions of the Sarajevo players were also very displeased.

"Tilemanchi, can you get past that fullback? You're always being contained by them, and I don't have a chance to compete for headers!"

"Pass the ball! Pass the ball to me! How am I supposed to score if you don't pass!"

Šuker Bazić continued to complain.

Tilemanchi also suddenly felt a surge of anger and turned to retort: "Then why don't you score yourself?"

"Look at that Šuker, that guy dribbles, pulls, passes, shoots, he can single-handedly disrupt our defense! What about you? Besides standing stupidly in front of the goal, what else can you do!"

Tilemanchi's sudden outburst stunned Šuker Bazić for a moment, and then he became even more furious:

"So, you think it's my problem, is that right? Damn it! I'm a poacher-type center forward, you want me to withdraw from the penalty area? Is your head full of dog shit?!"

"You're the one who's a pile of dog shit!" Tilemanchi roared: "Bullshit Bosnian talent! Look at those two guys, they're the real talents!"

One sentence made Šuker Bazić unable to refute immediately.

Seeing the two arguing fiercely, the Sarajevo players also reacted and quickly ran over to mediate.

Šuker and Modrić, who were retreating, also saw this scene.

Šuker whispered: "Their mentality has collapsed."

Modrić: "They really played poorly in this game!"

Sarajevo wanted to play a new tactic, but obviously the new tactic didn't take shape, and it was full of flaws.

Mostar Zrinjski relied on these loopholes to score two consecutive goals.

In Modrić's view, tactics should not be used lightly before they are thoroughly tested, especially in such a key game, as it may lead to a collapse of the defense and conflicts within the team.

Sarajevo's conflicts were not resolved in time, and they played even more abstractly in the second half.

The main thing was not passing the ball and not cooperating.

Tilemanchi went on strike and didn't pass the ball to Šuker Bazić.

Šuker Bazić also lost his cool, and a poacher-type center forward ran out of the penalty area, running wildly all over the field.

It was okay at the beginning, but as he couldn't get the ball, he became even more irritable, and there were several malicious actions on his hands and feet.

In the 61st minute, Šuker Bazić was being led around by Mostar Zrinjski in their own half while pressing.

In the end, the furious Šuker Bazić angrily slide tackled and brought down Kelpić. Fortunately, Kelpić jumped up in advance, so he was not injured.

But Šuker Bazić also paid the price of a yellow card.

But this yellow card failed to calm Šuker Bazić down, and his subsequent actions became even more irritable.

This guy continued to slide tackle in Mostar Zrinjski's half.

Finally, in a header contest, he collided with the goalkeeper. After the warning was useless, the referee showed another yellow card.

Two yellows turned into one red, and Šuker Bazić was sent off.

"Šuker Bazić, he's too impulsive! In this situation, Sarajevo has lost a center forward and is playing with one less player, which makes their situation even worse."

Commentator Basso Daci shook his head and sighed.

Šuker Bazić is a highly anticipated Bosnian talent, but to be honest, in the two games against Mostar Zrinjski, his performance was really not very good.

The first game was better, at least he scored a goal.

And this game was a disaster!

Šuker Bazić left the field alone.

The fans watched this 'temperamental' player coldly.

In their opinion, this guy was just throwing a tantrum.

What bullshit talent!

Atgenić also looked at Šuker Bazić.

As a scout, he also knew Šuker Bazić, after all, Croatia is adjacent to Bosnia.

But Atgenić never thought this was a real talent.

Talents have enough talent to give them great convenience in a certain field.

But talent is not equal to success!

And Šuker Bazić's talent is not the top-notch kind.

His height and physique are indeed favorable weapons, but looking at the entire Europe, this is not a rare thing.

He also has talent in judging landing points and headers, but the same is true, this is not a rare thing.

Therefore, in Atgenić's view, this guy can't be called a talent!

He was just hyped up in low-level leagues like Bosnia.

There are too many talents in Europe!

These gifted guys are much more terrifying.

For example, Cristiano Ronaldo, who is playing for Sporting Lisbon, is said to have been valued by Manchester United's Sir Ferguson, and he will land at Old Trafford in the summer window.

In the youth team of Barcelona in Catalonia, Spain, a little guy named Lionel Messi is also being treated as a treasure by Barcelona.

In Brazil, São Paulo Club, a player named Kaká is being chased by many European giants.

In Atlético Madrid, Spain, Fernando Torres has been given the nickname El Niño (The Child)!

There are many, many more such young players.

Compared with these real pride of the times, Šuker Bazić is not up to par at all.

His gaze turned to Šuker and Modrić.

What role will these two play in the new era?

And what can they bring to Croatian football?

Atgenić didn't know what would happen in the future, but his expectant gaze penetrated the mist called 'future', trying to find out.

With Šuker Bazić being sent off with a red card, this game also lost its meaning.

Sarajevo retreated to defend across the board with one less player.

And Mostar Zrinjski also played steadily. With the established advantage, they didn't need to desperately score goals.

In the end, the whole game ended in a silent atmosphere.

In the 2002/2003 season, Mostar Zrinjski defeated Sarajevo 2:0, further expanding their advantage in points.

Sarajevo failed to complete their revenge, and their performance in this game was very bad.

And this result also destined them to fail to complete their revenge.

At the end of the whole game, Mostar Zrinjski expanded their advantage in the standings, and at the same time, they became closer to their first championship trophy.
