"Four to zero, four to zero. The Belgian players have already given up on the game. They are no match for the Czech Republic. The Czech team has already secured a spot in the World Cup with one foot."
On November 11, 2001, the World Cup European qualifying play-off match started between the Czech Republic and Belgium. Since the Czech Football Association was in great turmoil and Merkley became the chairman of the Czech Republic, Brückner was appointed as the head coach of the national team.
.
Brückner began to promote and reuse some young players, such as Cech, Grigra, Jankulovski, Ujfalusi, Rosenard, as well as Senna and Gilberto who became Czech citizens.
Silva. Because they failed to enter the European Cup, the Czech national team went through a purge. A large number of older midfielders and backfield players were cleared out. Many players in their twenties began to become the main players of the national team.
But the World Cup qualifiers don't matter whether you change the generation or not. In September 2000, just after the European Cup, the World Cup qualifiers had already started. Brückner was not ready yet, so he was not ready when the World Cup qualifiers had just started.
At that time, the Czech Republic's performance was very poor. It was tied by Bulgaria and Iceland one after another, and then lost to Denmark.
At that time, the performance of the Czech Republic was even lower than that of the other teams in the same group. The Czech football world was in an uproar at the time, and Merkley was also under great pressure. However, Merkley had no choice at the time but to firmly support Brückner.
.Including List, he also firmly supported Brückner’s coaching, which helped Brückner overcome the initial difficulties.
Brückner did not win any of the three games in the 2000 World Cup qualifiers, and the 2001 World Cup qualifiers did not start until March. But when it just started, on March 24, 2001, the Czech Republic was defeated in the away game.
Northern Ireland defeated Northern Ireland 1-0. The situation of the Czech national team at that time was really precarious. No one thought that the Czech national team had a chance to participate in the World Cup. Fortunately, four days later, on March 28, the Czech Republic swept Malta 7-0 at home.
Of course, 7-0 against Malta is not a result at all, because Denmark swept Malta 6-0 away from home four days ago. But after this game, Brückner could breathe a little easier.
Half of the group stage is over. The Czech Republic has one win, two draws and two losses in five games, and its points are only five points. In this group, Denmark has three wins, one draw and one loss, and its points have reached ten points. Northern Ireland has two wins, two draws and one loss.
.The points are eight points. However, Bulgaria, which is mediocre in strength, has three wins and two draws without losing a game. It has 11 points and ranks first in the standings.
On June 2, 2001, the Czech Republic met its strongest opponent, Denmark. Although Bulgaria had more points, Denmark was stronger than Bulgaria. The Czech Republic, which had performed very poorly before, easily defeated them 3-0 at home this time.
The powerful Denmark has reached eight points, and Brückner has truly secured his position as the head coach of the national team.
Then on June 7, the Czech Republic faced Northern Ireland at home. The Czech Republic once again defeated Northern Ireland by a big score of four to one, and its ranking also rose steadily.
At this point, the Czech Republic's update has been completed. The road after that is completely smooth. There was just one draw, and then all the wins. The tragedy is that Denmark also performed very well. After losing to the Czech Republic, they only had a draw.
, and then won all. In the end, Denmark qualified first, and the second-placed Czech Republic unfortunately had to go to the play-offs. But Bulgaria, which performed extremely well at the beginning, declined. There was only one victory in the remaining five games.
, and finally finished third. Didn’t even get a chance to play in the play-offs.
The Czech Republic met Belgium in the play-offs. The Czech Republic, which was in great shape, did not pay attention to Belgium at all. In the first half, the Czech Republic relied on Jankler and Borg's two goals to lead 3-0. In the second half, Bruck
Na replaced Jankoler, Borg and Boboski, but Baros who came on the bench received a pass from Rosicky and turned the score into 4-0.
Although there are still away games, the 4-0 scoreline is no longer a consideration. It can be said that we have already secured a spot in the World Cup.
"Congratulations, Pavel. With our Czech Republic's strength, we will definitely shock the world in the World Cup."
The current Czech Republic is very strong, both offensively and defensively. If there is a slight loophole, it is that the defensive line is not world-class. Ujfalusi and Rozenar are good, but they are only in some situations.
The strong European teams have the ability to play the main force. Letting them go to the rich clubs to play the main force is beyond their capabilities. This is the only loophole of the Czech Republic.
But the Czech Republic has two world-class defensive midfielders in Gilberto Silva and Senna, who can make up for some problems in the back line. Behind them, there is Petr Cech who is not yet 20 years old.
Cech was only 20 years old when he played in the World Cup. Twenty-year-old Cech may make some small mistakes over a long period of time, but the more competitions they get, the more excited they will be.
The current Czech Republic is not only very strong in the main lineup, but also in the substitute lineup. People like Huebschmann, Latar, midfielders like Borg, Smicer, and Garacek, and forwards like Lok Vincz and
Substitutes like Baros are of course not as powerful as France, but they are definitely among the best in world football, even the top.
"Rister, do you particularly hope that the Czech Republic can achieve good results? Or win the championship in the competition?"
"certainly."
Lister nodded, then said with a smile: "Bavel, don't try to trick me. I'm a patriot."
Merkley smiled when he heard Lister's words. Then he looked at Lister and said: "Lister, do you think I should be laughing or crying now? Patriot, I think you love the money in your pocket the most.
That’s right.”
Riester also laughed. To be honest, Riester hopes that the Czech Republic will win the championship, but it has nothing to do with patriotism. Riester is very close to China and the Czech Republic because of two memories. But also because
In this way, there is some confusion, and it is not clear which country I am from. Therefore, I am not patriotic to a high degree.
But Liester is the one who most hopes that the Czech Republic will win the World Series. Because now 90% of the Czech first-team players are Liester's players, and the current starting lineup of the Czech Republic is all Liester's players. If the Czech Republic wins a championship
If they win a World Series championship, the value of these players will immediately rise sharply.
By then, not only will the value of the players rise sharply, but their salaries will also rise, and their commercial value will rise even more. Their influence in European football will become greater and greater. As the first agent in the Czech Republic, Riester
Te's personal worth will also double. This is the so-called opportunity.
Just like Mendes. If the Porto players were sold before, they would only be worth 18 million. But as soon as the Champions League championship came out, the value of their players rose sharply. And Mendes also rose with the tide.
This is even more true for List. Once the Czech Republic wins the World Cup or the European Cup, List will be their agent and his power will far exceed that of Mendes after he wins the Champions League. What will Mendes be like then?
Si, Figel, and List can kill them instantly.
"Bawell, I love both my country and money. Have you ever talked to Puma? This is a world championship. We should link it to their performance and let them give bonuses."
The World Cup is a battle between Adidas and Nike. Adidas is sponsoring this World Cup. Many aspects of the World Cup are owned by Adidas. Most of the world's top teams are owned by Adidas, and Nike also sponsors Brazil. Other small brands
It's simply not comparable to him.
Every World Series is a time of battle between the two brands Adidas and Nike. Puma does not yet have the strength to squeeze in, so it can only sponsor some teams in the Czech Republic and Africa.
"Of course. Puma is also willing to do so."
"Bawell, you have to calculate the players' bonuses. I will calculate them with you one by one."
Because most of the Czech international players are Liszt's players, they actually have a share of Liszt's bonuses. Liszt has to settle accounts with them one by one no matter how much the bonus is.
"I know. Lister, I really doubt anyone in this world can take advantage of you. I guess you will take back every penny your father owes you. I don't dare to owe you money."
"Ha ha."
The two have known each other for a long time and have always been partners. Therefore, the two have a good personal relationship and can joke with each other casually. Moreover, the two are currently the two most powerful figures in Czech football.
"Let's go, Riester. Let's go reward our national team players."
Riester waved his hand and said: "Forget it, go ahead. I won't get involved."
Although List is very familiar with everyone from top to bottom of the Czech national team. From the national team coach Brückner to the following players, there is no one List is not familiar with, but List understands the rules. Although List is not familiar with Czech football.
Anyone is allowed to challenge his status, but Lister will never cross the line. Now is the time when the boss of the Football Association and the national team are celebrating. It is unjust and unjust to go there as an agent.
"Okay, you go about your business. I'm going."
"kindness."
Watching Merkley leave, List let out a long sigh of relief. Not being able to enter the European Cup in 2000 was a big blow to Czech football. The impact of letting Czech players go abroad is not small, and it cannot be compared with the craze of going abroad after 1996.
In comparison, if we fail to qualify for the 2002 World Cup, the blow will definitely be fatal.
Fortunately, we finally entered the World Cup in South Korea and Japan without any danger. The second round of the game is basically nothing to watch. Even Belgium is not an opponent of the Czech Republic. Belgium now is not the Belgium that will be known as a monster in ten years.
.
I hope to have a good result in the World Cup in Korea and Japan next year.
