Hot summer.

The enthusiasm for the blazing football spectacle is gradually fading.

With Brazil's 2-0 victory over Germany, lifting the World Cup and adorning a golden star on their shirts, Brazil officially forged the title of 'Brazil Five Stars.'

Throughout the World Cup, there were ups and downs in the course of the game, and surprising black whistle insiders.

These memories combined to form the summer of 2002, when the Korea-Japan World Cup reached a successful conclusion.

In this World Cup, Brazil became the final winner, the king of the world.

It is also a pity that teams like France, Argentina, and Portugal were eliminated in the group stages.

The Chinese team completed its first performance in the World Cup.

Spain continues to accumulate, Germany has opened a nine-year youth education system to prepare a large number of young players, news from the Apennine Peninsula is on the rise, and this summer, the first World Cup since 2000 has come to an end.

The World Cup is over, but there is much buzz surrounding the tournament and all kinds of star news.

The television is also spinning to show the wonderful matches during the World Cup.

It drags the tail of the World Cup and reaps another period of heat.

At the same time, a new season is just around the corner.

The Major Leagues are considering the new season, the summer window is in full swing, and the whole continent is in gear mode.

And this wind is also blowing in the Balkans, and the Bosnia and Herzegovina leagues at all levels have made adjustments again.

First, the Bosnia and Herzegovina Premier League was expanded to 12 teams, and the calendar was changed to 22 matchdays.

After a long two-month winter break in August, it ended in mid-March.

Due to the transfer of two teams from the First Division (excluding the promoted team), the First Division will once again draw teams from the Second Division to replenish the spots.

Mostar Rangers, which is third in the league standings, is stuck in this position.

This season, Mostar Rangers was passively promoted to the First Division of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Inside the Mlinar workshop.

"Impressive!"

Suker sat in his chair, reading the newspaper, and shouted excitedly.

If you want to play in the first division this season, the rewards for each game will inevitably be much richer.

Mlinar didn't know and shook his head, "There's a huge gap between us and the First Division, and if we get relegated, that's a question."

"Then bring out the other promoted team, as long as it's not the last place anyway."

—said Suker disapprovingly—.

Mlinar smiled, "Olipe has informed us about the Bosnia-Herzegovina Cup, and it will start in a week."

The Bosnia and Herzegovina Cup is a cup competition under the umbrella of the Football Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Teams from all leagues can participate, and just like the German Cup, even teams from the Super League have no privileges and must play from the first round.

"Wow!"

Suker's eyes sparkled as he felt it was all a gacha experience.

Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, as long as you're on the field or enter the team and become part of the game, there's a chance to draw cards.

"It's so hot! The heat is killing me!"

Olipe entered with a document in his pocket, slammed it on the table, and turned around to shout.

"Take a glass of cold water!"

Suker jumped off the table, ran to grab the water with a puff of smoke, and handed over a few more ice cubes.

Olipe raised his head and drank it, feeling a little cold from the touch of the cold, and then shivered slightly.

Olipe shook his clothes and stirred up the wind, saying, "Good news, bad news."

"The good news is that we don't have to go out to play, and we have the money to support our first match in the Bosnia Cup!"

Upon hearing this, both Suker and Mlinar sighed in relief.

For Mostar Wanderers, the cost of traveling to play away games is an enigma.

Every time they go away, apart from spending some of their own money, they also need to get some help from the fans. If the help is insufficient, they may even have to cancel the game.

For this reason, when they learned that they didn't have to go far, it undoubtedly solved the biggest problem.

"That's good."

Mlinar also smiled, put down the tools in his hand, and asked, "What's the bad news?"

Suker also looked with curiosity.

Olipe sighed, "Our opponent is Mostar Zlinski!"

Suker and Mlinar were stunned.

Mostar Zlinski, also a club from the city of Mostar.

However, unlike a third-tier team like Mostar Rangers, this is a team that competes in the Super League.

Mostar Zlinski was founded in 1905 and has a history of nearly 100 years.

Despite some setbacks along the way, there was never a disconnection.

After the establishment of the Bosnian Premier League in 1997, they were also one of the strongest teams to fight for the title.

Although they are still in the clash stage and have not yet broken the Sarajevo monopoly on the Bosnia and Herzegovina championships, they are also at the top level of the Bosnia and Herzegovina Premier League.

It can be said that in the first game, they hit the iron plate.

"Wow!"

Suker shouted and found himself facing tough opposition in the first game!

Mlinar also sighed slightly.

"The result is what it is, maybe the Bosnia-Herzegovina Cup won't go very far, but we still have to prepare." Olipe sighed and said, "There will be a training camp in the next two days, and some tactical arrangements will be made for the game, and I will notify you that no personnel can be absent."

Oliver paused and said, "No one should want to be absent."

The two-day training camp for Mostar Rangers is in full swing.

As Olipe thought, there was no one absent from the team.

Everyone was very involved in the formation.

As mentioned earlier, players from the First and Second Divisions of Bosnia and Herzegovina, if they have ambitions, will go to the Super League.

Being able to stay with football instead of working part-time while playing football.

And the threshold for this goal is the Super League.

Only when you enter the Super League team can you have a basic guarantee of life, and you won't have to work to support yourself on the way to football.

For Mostar Rangers, the reason why many young players keep holding on is to wait for the opportunity to show themselves on the big stage and win the favor of Super League teams.

Of course, they can also get promoted through leagues, but the first option is obviously a little easier.

Suker was naturally one of them, and when they found out that they were going to play against Mostar Zlinski, the players weren't scared or discouraged, but were full of energy and eager to do great work.

The weak team plays against the strong team, and the play is an entire team.

With a gap in individual ability, Mostar Rangers needs to play more cohesively and defend well.

Olipe also came up with a counter-attack defensive system and even focused more on defense in position.

"In the first half, we have to defend well, and we have to get through the toughest moments."

Olipe kept shouting from the bench to guide.

"Mostar Zlinski will definitely take the initiative to attack, they're a Super League team, they have their own pride, they might even underestimate us, and we have to take advantage of this mentality and make them have a hard time!"

"The fist can only deliver the most powerful blow when it has enough charge, so run like a mule to defend until we finish charging!"

Olipe's voice was loud, also motivating the players.

In the center of the field, Suker kept running, running harder than anyone else.

"Suker, you're running too much, save some energy, you're the key to our counter-attack!"

Mlinar couldn't help but shout as he watched Suker.

As the team's offensive arrow, Suker's frequent running would inevitably consume a lot of physical energy, and under this kind of running, once it's time for a counter-attack, could this guy still run?

"I can run! Don't worry about me."

Suker panted and waved his hand.

At this moment, Suker was sweating profusely and knew very well that if he wanted to fight against these strong teams, he couldn't do it without working hard.

And this is also an opportunity for him to enter the Super League, and he doesn't want to waste it.

Run more aggressively, increase his individual runs to provide more protection for the team's defense.

In addition, Suker isn't dazed, he knows how to unleash his physical strength.

In this game, he will inevitably come up with a trick to pressure the opponent's goal area.

Running like crazy in the middle, using his own runs to stir the opponent's defense while draining their physical energy.

Although his physical expenditure will be greater, the opponent will inevitably have more physical expenditure.

And when the physical exhaustion reaches a certain level, Suker can use the 'State Recovery Card' to immediately restore his peak state, while the other party is still in that physical deprivation state.

It's then that Suker will show his true fangs.

By then, all he needs to do is use running passes to connect the game.

Even for the sake of stability in the first half, he changed his card play.

[Diamond Card (Special Class)—Inzaghi Awareness.]

[Red Card (Skill)—Tolister Short Pass.]

[White Card (Skill)—Fatia Lek Prediction.]

[White Card (Skill)—Tony Interception.]

[White Card (Skill)—Lesten's Arrow Shot.]

[Red Card (Skill)—State Recovery Card.]

This is Suker's current combination to maximize interference attributes in the forward pitch.

Fatia Lek's awareness of where the ball will land, combined with Tony's interception, allows Suker to act as a disturbing stick up front.

Constantly running and pressing, exerting pressure on the opponent's defense.

For this reason, Suker even deployed the 'Andre's Scud,' anyway, the first half was a strict defense.

Even in counter-attacks, Suker didn't intend to do it himself, but used a passing combination to create opportunities for both wings, allowing his teammates to further drain the opponent's energy, and of course, the best outcome was scoring goals.

In the second half, the state recovery card directly filled Suker's state, and 'Roberts' dribbling' and 'Andre's scud' directly used speed and dribbling to make the opponent's defensive line.
