Zhuang Mingge, who missed this game, after carefully watching the game video, keenly noticed a problem, that is, the expressions of the Sampdoria players who won this big victory showed that they were not happy.

"It seems that it's not just AC Milan that's going wrong, it's Sampdoria!" Zhuang Mingge lamented that the problem of Milan is only the decline in the players' hunger for honor, coupled with the various adverse effects left over from the American Shijie Cup, and Sampdoria? Their problem is their own boss!

Silvio Berlusconi's desire to rebuild the Milan dynasty is simple: keeping the current manager, Fabio Capello, and forming the team as he wishes, could revive the team in two or three years.

And Sampdoria? The owner of Mantovani Jr. himself did not realize that the worst person at the club was himself, and who could expect Sampdoria to return to glory?

Leaving aside the problems of Milan and Sampdoria, Fiorentina will be on their way to the round of 16 of the European Cup Winners' Cup after a big win over Padua, this time against Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb.

At the beginning of the 90s, the situation in Yugoslavia was turbulent, and the Yugoslav peoples, united under Tito's leadership, had turned against each other and attacked each other. Around 1991, Yugoslavia was divided into six parts, and the historical hatred between the various ethnic groups of Yugoslavia intensified, which eventually turned into a civil war.

The jishu of the Yugoslav national team before the split were definitely not lost to any team, they were once practitioners of artistic football, they used to be dancers on the green field, however, they were ultimately political martyrs......

Remembrance is a kind of remembering, always remembering what you don't want to forget. But under the domination of another emotion, remembrance, just to forget, to forget a memory that is difficult to forget......

Take a look at this list of names:

Mihajnovic, Djukic, Prosinetski, Stojkovic, Boban, Davao Suker, Mijatovic, Pantsev, Savicevic, Jugovic, Boksic, Jairni, Milosevic, Kovac brothers, Zahovic, Djolovic, Kovacevic, Kezyman, Stankovic, Modric......

Remember them and their football? Now they belong to different countries - Serbia and Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. And now, Savčević has a new nationality - Montenegro. But, remember, they used to fight under the same name - Yugoslavia!

The Yugoslav youth army that won the championship in 1987 was full of names that later shocked European football, which represented the names of an era of Yugoslav football, and they have since written a legend that belongs only to them!

Italian summer in 1990? It used to be a gorgeous stage for the Yugoslavs, and the first time they went out to compete in the Shijie Cup, they flashed dazzling light. But no one expected that this would be their zuihou for the first time......

Although they lost 4-1 to a strong German team in their opening game of the group stage, the young Yugoslav team has since been on a winning streak. Not only did they make it out of the group, but Stojkovic beat a similarly impressive Spain with a free-kick in extra-time in the quarter-finals!

In the quarterfinals, Yugoslavia used ten people to press Argentina with Maradona as the core for 80 minutes (Sabana Drovic was wrongly judged by the referee in the 31st minute of the first half and received a second yellow card and was sent off), and finally lost 2:3 in the penalty shootout! Stojkovic said after the game: "Penalty failure is nothing, the next Shijie Cup is ours! But what he didn't expect was that this match was the swan song of complete Yugoslavia at the international competition.

In 1991, Red Star Belgrade lifted the Toyota Cup high in Tokyo. Savčevic's red card early in the opening game gave them an early ten-man squad against Chilean side Colo Colo, but what did we see? Three brilliant goals kicked the Chilean back home. But who would have thought that this turned out to be a collective performance of a group of Yugoslav geniuses!

It was a land of many calamities - it was occupied by the Romans, the Turks, and the Austrians. When no one could enslave them anymore, they themselves were plunged into civil war. Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (Yugoslavia's GDP per capita in 1979 was $2,635) who once lived in harmony under Tito's prestige fought against each other in the 90s, and the Catholic Church, Orthodox Church, and mosques that once stood together on this land could no longer coexist, and Sukh and Savčević, Boban and Stojkovic, Boksic and Pantsev, Prosinetski and Yugovich, who once fought side by side, became enemies overnight. The gloom of politics has clouded football, and Boban has only been allowed to pass the ball to Savicevic at AC Milan......

In the 1992 European Championship, Yugoslavia was banned; In the 1994 Shijie Cup, Yugoslavia was banned; Euro 1996, Yugoslavia was still banned, all because of the damn war!! A generation of talented players has wasted their good years, and the war has wiped out their golden years. (At Euro 1992, Yugoslavia, Europe's truly "golden generation," was banned, and Denmark, who replaced them, eventually won the Delaunay Cup.) ）

Croatian independence, Bosnia-Herzegovina War...... For a decade, the continuous flames of war washed over and over again the Balkans, the "powder keg" of genius. These great players can only stand from the stands of the European Cup and the Shijie Cup and look out - this is also their stage, but politics and war have deprived them of the right to perform - they are just spectators - politics has tarnished football!

The beautiful music is still playing. However, there is only the upper part of the movement; The other half is forever missing......

In Zhuang Mingge's shijie, the divided Yugoslavia and Croatia finally appeared on the stage of the Shijie Cup in 98, and the group of geniuses who were no longer in their prime shocked Yugoslav football with their brilliance! In that Shijie Cup, Yugoslavia reached the round of 16 and finally lost to the Netherlands on penalties; And Croatia went all the way and won the third place in the French Shijie Cup!

……

The long years of war did not turn the resilient Croats away from the love of life. Now, the Croats, far from the war, are soothing the wounds of the war while doing everything they can to pursue the life they love.

What is the best thing for people who have stayed away from war to do? If it weren't for this in-person trip to Zagreb. All Zhuang Mingge can imagine is the most common answer of "raising a family and rebuilding a home".

Yes, these are true, Zhuang Mingge felt these on the day he arrived in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. But he was surprised to find that almost all the local citizens of Yujian, while trying to do these "ordinary things" seriously, the topic that talked about the most was football!

Almost every "stranger" Zhuang Mingge met since arriving in Zagreb could find the common language of football, such as the taxi driver's eyebrows fluttering about his six-year-old son who could kick through the door of a neighbor's house, or the inadvertent hearing from two doormen in front of the hotel where he was staying that a street ball game would be played out in the afternoon on an off-the-beaten-path street.

Football is something that can soothe people's pain, and Zhuang Mingge, who saw this situation, felt that this was true.
