On February 25th, the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which had been suspended for three months, restarted.
2002/2003 season, Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Round 21, Mostar Zrinjski VS Bijeljina Radnik.
"...Mostar Zrinjski is continuously passing in the frontcourt. Suk and Modrić have become the central hubs for passing. The performance of the Mostar Gemini in the second half of the season is still very outstanding. In their continuous passing, Bijeljina Radnik's defense is being stretched very uncomfortably."
Commentator Baso Dakić looked at Suk and Modrić, who were sprinting on the field, and kept praising them.
These two young players have already become the most watched and followed players of Mostar Zrinjski.
At the same time, their tactical importance is also unparalleled.
Modrić appears in the defensive midfield position, but his occasional forward insertions will put great pressure on the opposing team.
Suk is a winger. Since the match against Tuzla Sloboda, Suk's position has become more biased towards a winger, and combining Suk + Kosopec, these two frontcourt offensive points, has further improved Mostar Zrinjski's offensive ability.
Suk is constantly running in the frontcourt. His running is mostly on the side of the wing, and the range of movement is also very wide.
In the opponent's half, with the center as the boundary, Suk continuously runs near the baseline and midfield.
Sometimes he rushes forward to put pressure on the opponent's full-back.
Sometimes he retreats to the midfield line to receive the ball, respond to teammates, and launch positional warfare.
Sometimes he dribbles and breaks through on the wing.
Under Suk's active performance, Mostar Zrinjski's offense is also tilting towards the left.
Under Suk's continuous running, the opponent's defenders are finally starting to lose track.
Taking advantage of this time, Suk pulled back very deep.
He came to the intersection of the midfield line and the left sideline and shouted, "Luka! Pass it here!"
Modrić saw Suk's open space and immediately kicked the ball.
After Suk received the ball, the opponent's defender had already followed up.
Suk tapped the ball horizontally, quickly started, and used his strong explosive power to create a gap with the opponent.
At this time, the opponent reached out and started pulling Suk's jersey. If it were before, Suk would have already fallen.
But at this time, Suk felt that he could still withstand it.
He leaned forward, confronting while looking towards the far end.
Bilal had already begun to stir.
"It's you!"
Suk swung his right foot and slammed it up, passing the ball to the far end.
This is a wide-range transfer, but it is aimed at the gap behind the full-back, and Bilal also seized the opportunity to immediately rush forward.
"Long pass transfer! Bilal starts to receive the ball. Bijeljina Radnik's full-back follows up and suppresses Bilal to the baseline. The space for a cross has been blocked. Bilal passes back to Modrić. Modrić passes the ball to Suk again near the edge of the penalty area. Suk advances with the ball! Is he going to break through? Continue to pass the ball! The ball is passed to the left! Mostar Zrinjski's full-back, Kljajić, who rushed forward, crosses!"
"Kosopec!!!"
Baso Dakić roared loudly.
In his shouts, Kosopec's wet hair fluttered, and he shook his head like a mad lion to attack the goal.
Swish!
The ball went into the net!
"Goal!!!!! Kosopec! He welcomes his 14th league goal."
"This season, Kosopec was restricted in the early stages of the league and played very uncomfortably, but no one thought that this high center forward of Mostar Zrinjski would usher in a big explosion in the middle of the league!"
"Currently, Kosopec has reached the second place in the league's top scorer list with 14 goals. He is only one goal away from Suk. Bajić, who is in first place!"
After Kosopec shook his head to attack the goal, he came to the stands of the stadium and roared at the fans.
That period of injury caused Kosopec's number of goals to stagnate. Otherwise, according to Mostar Zrinjski's offensive ability, he would have already surpassed Suk. Bajić and led the scorer list at this time.
But it's not too late now, their condition is very good!
"Nice pass!"
Kosopec gave Kljajić a thumbs up.
This cross was very comfortable, whether it was the speed or the height, it perfectly matched Kosopec. Although it was slightly higher than a normal cross, it was just at Kosopec's highest point for the header.
This is also the tacit understanding between old partners.
On the other side, Suk and Modrić were also hugging each other.
This goal also has a part of their credit. It was their back-and-forth passing that helped Kosopec create a space for the header.
67 minutes, Mostar Zrinjski leads Bijeljina Radnik 2:0.
After falling behind by two goals, Bijeljina Radnik became anxious.
They began to rush towards Mostar Zrinjski's penalty area and constantly passed the ball into the penalty area from both sides, allowing their high center forward to compete for the header.
But on Mostar Zrinjski's side, they also have Mašić, who is excellent at heading.
"Get out of here!!"
"Get out of the way!"
"This is mine!!"
Mašić went all out, suppressing the opponent's high center forward, completing the work of competing for the header again and again, and destroying the ball.
Under Mašić's defense, the opponent's high center forward had no way at all.
"Mostar Zrinjski's defense is still so outstanding, they didn't give Bijeljina Radnik any chance!"
81 minutes, a corner kick for Bijeljina Radnik.
Mašić jumped up angrily and destroyed the ball again.
This time, the ball happened to land at Suk's feet as he retreated.
Suk steadied the ball and immediately looked up at the opposite half.
The opponent's defenders were already pressing near the midfield line, and the passing lane between Kosopech and Suk was also blocked. Bilyal on the far side also failed to immediately run into a forward position.
Suk didn't want to give up such a good counter-attack opportunity!
Since there was no passing option, he would do it himself!
Suk suddenly pushed off with his feet, and with the powerful burst of strength, his body shot out like a rocket.
This also caused the player who was pressing him from behind to miss his tackle.
Suk first dribbled at high speed along the sideline.
The opponent's defensive midfielder charged in horizontally.
Estimating the distance, Suk suddenly accelerated again at the moment the opponent approached, pushing the ball past him.
"He's broken free!!"
Baso Dachi stood up abruptly: "Suk! He's on the move!"
Football is a very entertaining sport.
In addition to exquisite teamwork, there is also the most primitive visual impact brought by absolute power and absolute speed.
Just like Suk at this moment.
He was dribbling at high speed on the wing, using his speed to directly impact the opponent's defense.
The scene of a lone hero breaking through the barriers began!
After breaking through the opponent's defensive midfielder, Suk charged diagonally straight towards the opponent's goal, as if he wanted to cut through the middle of the fullback and center back.
The two naturally wouldn't allow that. They quickly closed in, wanting to play a closing defense.
But as Suk approached, he slowed down his footwork, feigning a fake move.
This change also caused the opponent's fullback to have a hint of adventurous mentality.
If he stepped forward to press and steal the ball now, would the crisis be resolved?
Everyone has the idea of being a hero and showing themselves.
With this thought, the opponent's fullback began to lose control, charging directly towards Suk.
"Don't extend your foot!"
Seeing his teammate's action, Bijeli Naradnik's center back immediately exclaimed.
But he was still a step too late.
He saw the fullback had already extended his foot, wanting to intercept the ball.
At this moment, Suk also changed his rhythm again, using his toes to push the ball through the gap between the center back and the fullback, while Suk circled around and brushed past the fullback!
"Damn it!"
The center back immediately turned around to chase the ball.
Suk was also chasing the ball forward from a relatively lagging position.
Both were sprinting towards the ball.
At this time, it was a contest of pure speed.
"Suk! Accelerate!!"
"Charge, charge, charge!"
"Suk!!"
"Take him down!!"
On the sidelines, the fans of Mostar Zrinjski saw Suk competing in speed with the opponent's center back, and the passion in their hearts was instantly ignited.
The speed of the young man on the field made their blood boil.
His jersey fluttered in the cold wind.
His black hair was blown back.
His swift feet moved forward rapidly like wind and fire wheels.
In everyone's vision, Suk was like a cheetah, rushing from behind to the front.
He was too fast, even if he was three positions behind the opponent's center back.
But with the blessing of powerful explosive power and speed, he quickly closed the gap.
"So fast!"
The opponent's center back was filled with horror.
He watched Suk quickly approach him from behind and try to get rid of him.
"It's over!"
Bijeli Naradnik's center back was full of horror.
He wanted to slide tackle, but his body's momentum couldn't keep up.
"Stop!"
He reached out his hand to pull, but grabbed nothing.
He could only see Suk's back and the number 99 fluttering in the wind.
"Breakthrough! Breakthrough! He's broken through!! Suk!!! One-on-one!!!"
Suk sprinted all the way, continuously changing direction and dribbling past the opponent's defensive players, completing the breakthrough.
After nearly 70 meters of sprinting, Suk had already dribbled into the opponent's penalty area.
At this moment, everyone in the stadium couldn't help but stand up.
The coaches on the sidelines also craned their necks to look over.
The opponent's goalkeeper had already taken the initiative to attack, lowering his center of gravity, ready to save at any time.
When Suk approached the opponent's goalkeeper, he feigned a shot, but instead cut towards the baseline with his foot.
The opponent's goalkeeper hurriedly dived to the side, but was still thrown off.
"He's past him!! Suk!!"
Baso Dachi raised his hands high, watching Suk easily put the ball into the goal.
At this moment, he could no longer contain the excitement in his heart, and let out the most intense cheers.
"Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"In the 84th minute, Mostar Zrinjski's number 99 player Suk completed a nearly 70-meter sprint breakthrough. His speed is so fast that no one can stop his breakthrough, no one can keep up with his speed!"
"This goal completely stifled Bijeli Naradnik's last hope!"
"Let us get to know this talented player from Mostar Zrinjski again, his name is Suk!"
In the lens, Suk had already ran to the bottom of the stands, raising his right hand.
And in front of him were the excited fans of Mostar Zrinjski, raising their arms like a forest.
The young man's face was filled with a bright smile, and behind him were excited faces, a pair of raised arms forming a wonderful picture.
