Now Modric is Croatia's unquestionable No.1, the Ballon d'Or and the Honour of the World Footballer of the Year elevates his positioning, and once upon a time his predecessor Davao Souk was a light in his heart.
In terms of resume, giants such as Real Madrid and Arsenal have collected the wind and frost of his feet and have played alongside maradona in Sevilla;
In terms of honor, he has won the Croatian Footballer of the Year 6 times, and he has won the La Liga, The Champions League, and the Toyota Cup, of course, the most attractive topic is undoubtedly the 98 World Cup, creating a dark horse miracle in Croatia, and the superb Sukh won the World Cup Golden Boot.
Being able to witness, own and collect a period of burning passion is the happiness of Croatian fans after all, and the exclusive memories of Sukh's manufacture have been passed down by word of mouth, after all, not everyone can steal the limelight among the top superstars such as Ronaldo, Bath, Bergkamp, Vieri and so on.
Where there is a world war to become famous, but a hundred refining into steel.
Suk was born in a sports family, his father is a well-known shot put player, his mother is a basketball player in the former Yugoslavia, his sister and uncle are national volleyball players, under the influence of the family, Suk has a special love for sports, but he is more concerned about football.
He insisted on running 5 kilometers a day to see the daily training of his hometown club Osijek, in addition, the good football atmosphere and high-quality star-making programs in the former Yugoslavia have made many teenagers with professional football dreams famous in the world.
Once famous, the world knows.
The 1987 World Youth Championship was the stage for Suk to shine, and the top scorer was the first contributor to the former Yugoslav National Youth Cup, even though the squad gathered young talents such as Proshinsky, Mihajlovic, mijatović, etc., but With 6 goals in 6 games, Suk, who wore the golden boot, achieved fame earlier. In fact, in the European Youth Championship three years later, Sukh, who scored 6 goals, once again served as the halo of Croatia's savior, and the runner-up status was well deserved.
Being selected for the Yugoslav national team is a natural thing, just like his trajectory from his hometown team Osijek to the giants Dinamo Zagreb, the fly in the ointment is that at the 1990 World Cup, Sukh was only a marginal person who played the audience on the bench, although there is a big view of the Croatian players of his age, but in the adult national team, the fledgling Sukh is not yet qualified to pick the beams.
Coming to Japan is not a heavy and long-standing topic for geniuses, in fact, if it were not for the Yugoslav civil war, Sukh's "stay in the ocean" would have been earlier, after all, there was already a voice at that time that croatian stars were "the perfect combination of strength and technology".
Sevilla is Suque's first stop in Europe, he has experienced the dilemma of inconsoluble, the first season only 6 goals, he also released who is with the domineering of the front, the second season of the thigh effect he dwarfed teammates and idol Maradona, the third season with Romario in la Liga Golden Boot. According to statistics, he has scored 86 goals in 177 appearances in five seasons, and Suque is firmly in the fourth place in Sevilla's all-time top scorer list.
No wonder, in a 2016 Interview, Suq said: "I have played in three World Cups and played for clubs like Real Madrid, but Dinamo Zagreb and Sevilla are special in my heart." The reason why it is "special" is that the president of Sevilla promised that Suque would reward melons for every goal he scored, and the second was that Sevilla really let the outside world see Sukh's left foot, which only plays the violin. Unfortunately, Sevilla, with limited strength, could not have fulfilled Sukh's goalscoring attributes on the Champions League platform earlier.
Lost Mulberry, harvested in the east, the Croatian national team for Sukh to provide a more topical effect and star aura of the stage, in the 1996 European Championship, Suk's hanging shot made Denmark's Schmeichel eclipsed, pulling the ball to get rid of and let Germany's Koepke embarrassed, 4 games scored 3 goals of his personal heroism at a glance, in fact, in the European preliminaries Suk tried the bull knife, with 12 goals to win the best scorer.
Su Ke held hands with Real Madrid, from the strength of the reason, and even has the sense of seeing each other and hating the night, after all, whether in the national team or in the club, Su Ke did not drag his feet at all. The Croatian star, who was appreciated by Capello, worked seamlessly at the Bernabeu, scoring 24 goals in his first season to win la Liga, and it is worth mentioning that the first goal of his real madrid career was the Spanish national derby against Barca.
A good start to Suque does not mean that it will be smooth sailing, he has been reprimanded by Capello for not passing the ball to Raul with Mijatovic, and in addition, when Real Madrid is passive or behind, the Italian will often replace Suque, who lacks speed and breakthrough.
After Capello's dismissal, his successor Heynckes was not cold to Sukh, and in the 1997-98 season he only made 19 appearances in the gap between the luxury strikers, 4 goals was the lowest point of his career, although Real Madrid won the Champions League after 32 years, but the title of hero was given to Suker's friend - goal hero Mijatovic.
No one expected that the Frustrated Real Madrid would create a miracle in the Summer of France in 1998.
The first group stage match against Jamaica, scored a goal of icing on the cake, the second world cup new team Japan, clever scoring, after losing to the powerful Argentina, Croatia successfully reached the knockout round with the second place in the group, perhaps this is the expected plot, but Sukh's good play has just begun.
1/8 final penalty shoot-out victory over Romania, quarter-final revenge germany, unfortunately, in the semi-final against the hosts, Sukh, who won the lead for Croatia, was unable to change the outcome of the elimination, because there was a Frenchman named Thuram who blossomed and blossomed twice.
The loss to the hosts was no accident, much less a pity, as Sukh, who scored 6 goals in seven games, has helped the "young" Croatia make history with his dreamy left foot. In a way, the so-called serendipity is Sukh's obsession with the glory of the country, and it is also the beginning of croatian football being truly recognized, once upon a time, the Yugoslav civil war always easily evoked the fragile hearts of displaced people, but Sukh played a man's war in the green world in the name of football.
Later, the Croatian national team led by Modric took it to the next level in the 2018 World Cup, but the dream of Sukh's toes was not alienated by time, he was still regarded by fans as an "eternal hero", and winning the croatian football federation president was probably the most appropriate way to adopt the gentle years.
Wenger, who admires beautiful football, signed the elegant Suker, and although he has scored 8 goals in 22 appearances, he has not been bothered by the no. 9 jersey curse, but at most experienced a mixed season. He copied the aesthetic arc of his left-footed shot against Sunderland, missed a penalty in his first appearance for Arsenal and repeated the penalty shootout in the League Cup final against Galatasaray.
The Croatian star, who had only retired at Arsenal, was just a hasty passer-by by by Highbury, but Wenger, who appreciated him, tilted his starting opportunities and playing time on Bergkamp, Henry and Kanu, and being sold to West Ham sounds cruel, but it is actually a kind of fulfillment - "I really like London, I don't want to leave the Premier League." ”
At West Ham United, Souk made few beautiful moments, the most impressive was the counterattack against the old arsenal, the 2-goal stats in 11 games obviously could not steal the limelight of Decanio, so Sooke found a sense of belonging in Munich 1860, and in November 2002 in Munich's 1860 victory over Bielefeld, Sooke scored the last goal of his career, and six months later he announced his retirement.
The reason why Sukh was able to hold hands with 1860 was only to find a platform to maintain his physical condition before the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, and sadly, in Munich 1860 he had no obsession with a corner of the corner, and in the last World Cup he was only defined as a veteran who played only 69 minutes, which was far from his self four years ago.
This is probably the sharpness of the knife of the years.
