Chapter 48 - Chapter 47: Rainbow Pass!

Goal!

What a brilliant offensive play! Starting with Suk's breakthrough, the entire Mostar Zrinjski team formed their tactical positioning. Koso Pecic, dropping back, acted as a pivot, coordinating with Suk in a passing play that completely tore apart the opponent's defense.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Suk, and Koso Pecic's forward run attracted the defensive attention of the opposing center-backs and full-backs, allowing Biljal to run laterally.

This was a fantastic passing and movement play. This is Mostar Zrinjski! They've unveiled another amazing new tactic!

Baso Dadic cheered incessantly.

Every time he watches a Mostar Zrinjski match, he feels a sense of excitement.

Unlike the simple and ugly style of play prevalent in the current Bosnian league, Mostar Zrinjski emphasizes teamwork and connection.

Like this goal, from the moment Suk initiated the attack, the entire Mostar Zrinjski team was mobilized.

The offensive process was incredibly smooth.

And during this offensive process, Suk became the primary organizing player.

He first ran into space, received a pass from Modric near the center circle, and then turned to sprint forward.

Simultaneously, he used Koso Pecic as a pivot to shake off the midfield defense, rapidly advancing and tearing through the opponent's defense, ultimately delivering a deadly pass to assist Biljal in scoring.

Smooth coordination, brilliant passing and movement – how could anyone not be thrilled?

The Mostar Zrinjski fans at the stadium erupted in loud cheers.

They may not understand all the details, but they could see how wonderful and smooth this attack was.

It wasn't the kind of headlong rush or simple cross from the wing.

From the moment Suk initiated the attack, the entire Mostar Zrinjski team was mobilized.

We must acknowledge the young and imaginative head coach, Van Steeg, whose continuous transformations have enabled Mostar Zrinjski to play this way, and I believe this will greatly promote the tactics of the Bosnian league.

The camera shifted to Van Steeg, who was excitedly pumping his fist in celebration.

Nothing made him happier than the success of a newly developed tactic.

This tactic is based on the strong attributes of the midfield, combined with the concept of the center forward dropping back.

However, unlike Suk's dropping back, Koso Pecic is more of a forward pivot, not involved in organizing play.

Offensive organization is the job of Suk, who is positioned as a winger.

Meanwhile, Modric drops back to midfield, further ensuring the stability of passing in the back.

The two, one in front and one behind, connect the entire offensive pattern of Mostar Zrinjski.

And under this model, the entire framework of Mostar Zrinjski has become more solid.

However, this lineup places too high a demand on the midfield.

Stable passing ability, excellent passing threat, and awareness of passing and movement.

These are all thanks to a month of dedicated practice.

The formation of this system hinges on Suk and Modric.

One in front and one behind as midfield organizers.

Indeed, in Van Steeg's tactics, Suk is never just a winger. He can push forward to threaten, but he is more responsible for organizing and directing the attack, using his vision and passing ability to tear apart the opponent's defense in a limited number of passes.

Van Steeg, you are a genius!

Assistant coach Vandir couldn't help but give Van Steeg a big hug.

Seeing this lineup take shape, it is definitely the most threatening tactical system for Mostar Zrinjski right now.

They can play against any team, and it can't be imitated!

If you want to imitate it, you not only need to find a deep-lying playmaker like Modric, but also a player like Suk who can launch threatening passes in the frontcourt.

This is just too difficult!

Even Van Steeg was now rejoicing that he had brought Suk to Mostar Zrinjski back then, which had created all of this.

Take them down!

Van Steeg waved his hand, full of vigor.

On the field, Mostar Zrinjski's attack was in full swing.

Relying on Suk and Modric as stable passing points in front and behind, the two constantly controlled the rhythm of the game.

They even started using the half-spaces to launch threatening attacks.

Suk usually cuts inside diagonally, positioning himself in the half-space.

This creates opportunities for the full-backs on the wings to sprint forward at high speed. And after the full-backs attract the opponent's attention, Suk also has other passing options.

Even if Suk can't get to that position, Modric can appear there.

This is even more troublesome for the opponent.

Just like now, after Modric receives the ball, he threads a pass directly into the open space.

Suk sprints forward along the wing at high speed. His speed is astonishing, overwhelming the opponent's full-back. Just as the opponent is about to pull him down, Suk lofts the ball up, completing a cross.

The arc of this pass is very large, almost slamming into Koso Pecic's head.

Koso Pecic doesn't even need to jump very hard, directly nodding the ball into the goal while holding off the opponent's center-back. The ball hits the ground and finds the net again.

After 10 minutes, Mostar Zrinjski scored two goals in quick succession.

Suk completed a brace of assists.

Koso Pecic and Biljal each scored a goal.

But this wasn't over yet. When Mostar Zrinjski pressed forward as a whole, they created a long-range shooting opportunity for Modric. No one around him was restricting him.

Modric drew back his leg like a bow and arrow, unleashing a low shot. The ball grazed the goalpost and flew into the net, beyond the reach of the opposing goalkeeper.

After 15 minutes, they were three goals ahead.

Mostar Zrinjski was on fire!

At the start of the second half, Mostar Zrinjski dealt three heavy blows to Tuzla Sloboda, who were third in the league.

Now, the players of Tuzla Sloboda were completely stunned.

They didn't even know how to defend or how to play the game.

And Mostar Zrinjski's attack continued.

It was still an attack initiated by Suk. After a few consecutive dribbles, Suk spotted the open space on the opposite side and used the outside of his right foot to fiercely curl the ball.

The ball hugged the ground, presenting an exaggerated arc, like a beautiful rainbow drawn across the field, bypassing the opponent's center-backs and full-backs, arriving in front of Biljal.

God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baso Dadic immediately felt his hair stand on end. He widened his eyes, held his head, and exclaimed: This pass curves!!!!!!!!!!

Not only the commentator, but also the fans at the stadium were stunned.

They had never seen such a wonderful pass. It was simply a work of art.

In the coaching area, Van Steeg also grabbed his head in disbelief:

Oh! God!

The others were also directly shocked.

Biljal was also shocked, but he remained focused, frantically accelerating to catch up with the ball and smoothly cutting inside.

After entering the penalty area, he swung his right leg fiercely, and the ball passed through the legs of the opposing goalkeeper.

Mostar Zrinjski scored another goal.

They were four goals ahead!

But compared to the goal, this exaggerated arc pass was the most amazing thing to them.

Seeing the goal, Suk also jumped up.

This was De Bruyne's curving pass!

Never seen it before!

Of course, this was also the only successful time for Suk. During training matches, he often passed the ball to the opponent's defenders, causing a lot of own goals.

Thinking that the advantage had been completely established, Suk had a whim, and he didn't expect to actually pull it off.

You are the god of passing!

Unbelievable! How did you do that?

This is too exaggerated, it's just amazing!

This pass crossed half the field!

His teammates were all expressing their amazement, after all, anyone who saw this kind of pass for the first time would have this reaction.

Of course, some people also questioned him.

Were you just lucky?

Biljal seriously suspected it, after all, during training matches, Suk seemed to have the intention of passing this kind of ball, but he hadn't succeeded.

Suk pointed at Biljal in dissatisfaction.

Did he still want him to pass the ball or not!

Biljal immediately softened, a wise man submits to circumstances.

He put up his thumbs with both hands, with a look of amazement on his face, and said loudly; God!!

Suk was satisfied and withdrew his hand.

A 'rainbow pass' kicked Tuzla Sloboda's morale into the gutter.

That's right, it was a rainbow pass, a term created by Baso Dadic.

In this era, people like to name signature moves for various stars.

Of course, the main point is that Tuzla Sloboda has been completely dumbfounded.

Not only were the players dumbfounded, but their coach, Old Moster, was also dumbfounded.

This goal completely caused them to collapse.

After that, Mostar Zrinjski also played conservatively. They had already won the game, and they just needed to avoid injuries.

However, there were also fools like Biljal, who kept rushing the opponent's defense, wanting to take this opportunity to score more goals.

In the beginning, this guy did score one goal.

Until he was angrily tackled by the opponent's full-back, he began to behave himself.

In the end, the 13th round of the 2002/2003 season of the Bosnian Premier League came to an end.

Mostar Zrinjski defeated Tuzla Sloboda 5-0 at home, giving this third-place team in the league a physical and mental blow.

At the end of the game, the players went to the stands to thank the fans.

The enthusiastic fans waved their hands, expressing their love for the team.

And as the most outstanding player in this game, Suk became the focus of their attention.

Especially his rainbow pass, which the fans praised.

Great pass!

Suk, show us more of these passes in the future!

Great game!

Victory! Another victory!

Suk! Suk!

Looking at the excited fans, the players were also very happy.

Of course, they also needed to calm down, because the real challenge was about to begin.

Round 14 of the Bosnian Premier League, Sarajevo VS Mostar Zrinjski.

They were going to challenge the top team in the league, which was also the biggest challenge for Mostar Zrinjski so far.
