<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the two-sided life of Davao Souk</h1>
At the 1998 Fifale in France, Croatia reached the World Cup finals for the first time after independence. Not optimistic, they played 7 games and finally finished third. Croatia's ability to achieve such a record has a lot to do with the team's number one star, davo Souk.
On January 1, 1968, the first day of the New Year, Suk was born in Ostiek, Croatia, which was still part of Yugoslavia. As a child, Sukh, who dreamed of becoming a footballer, even walked 5 kilometers every day to see the Ostiek club training.
In 1984, Suq joined his hometown club and his dream of becoming a footballer came true, and in 1987, at the age of 19, Suq shined at the U20 World Youth Championship in Chile, scoring six goals in six games and helping Yugoslavia win the championship. After returning home, he officially joined Ostiek, scoring 18 goals in 26 games that season. Such a performance also allowed him to be photographed by Dinamo Zagreb.
In 1991, Croatia announced that it would no longer play in the Yugoslav League, and Sukh joined Sevilla in La Liga. In his five seasons with Sevilla, Suk played in 152 games for the team, scoring 76 goals.
Suque's high-profile performances have earned him the favor of Real Madrid. After Euro 1996, Sukh joined Real Madrid, accompanied by stars such as Mijatovic and Robert Carlos. In his first season with Real Madrid, Sukh helped them regain their title, while in the previous season, Real Madrid had only finished 6th.
Suq's experience at Real Madrid was not pleasant, and after Heynckes replaced Capello, Suq lost his main position at Real Madrid. In the 1997–1998 season, Souk played just 19 games for Real Madrid, scoring four goals.
Surprisingly, Suq, who is no longer in the best form, ushered in the highest moment of his football career at the World Cup, and even the last glory of his football career. He scored six goals in 7 games and won the World Cup Golden Boot.
In the quarter-finals of this World Cup, Croatia led by Sukh won 3-0 against Germany, and Suk scored a goal to avenge the defeat of Germany at the European Championship two years ago.
After the World Cup, Souk joined Arsenal, West Ham United and Munich 1860, but his personal performance continued to decline, and he never showed the style of the World Cup Golden Boot.
Throughout his football career, Sukh has left a statistic of 203 goals in 448 games for the club and 46 goals in 72 games for the national team, including 1 goal in 2 games for Yugoslavia and 45 goals in 69 games for Croatia.
As a left-footer, Suq's excellent training skills have been praised as "the left foot can play the violin".
Such a player who shined on the football field took a completely different path after retiring.
In 2012, Sukh became president of the Croatian Football Association with the support of the so-called Croatian football mafia Mafia.
Mamic gradually took control of Dinamo Zagreb with his good relations with the croatian government. After becoming the president of the club, Mamic installed his own cronies everywhere, and even let his brother, who did not know football, become the manager of the team. Such a club can win ten consecutive championships in the domestic arena.
After Sukh became the president of the Football Association, Mamic became the first vice-president of the Football Association, and actually held the power. Under his control, a number of players from Dinamo Zagreb were selected for the national team, where he used this to increase the value of his players and then gain weight in the player transfer.
Suq plays the role of endorsing Mamic, whether it involves an exchange of benefits is unknown, but being able to work together for a long time means something in itself.
Although the Croatian court sentenced Mamić in 2015, he had already fled to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although he no longer controls the FA and the club, the retraction of Modric and others shows that he still has enough influence.
The rest of Sukh's life will obviously be forever tainted by this.
< H1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the Round of 32 World Cup</h1>
Coming to France in the 1998 World Cup, it was a little awkward for host France, as they had not been able to make it to the final rounds in the previous two World Cups.
However, in this World Cup, the French team has a number of characters who will later be on the football field, and Zidane, Vieira, Thuram, Djokov, Butters, Henry, Trezeguet these familiar names appear in the team.
In the final, France's 3-0 victory over Brazil surprised everyone, and Zidane's two seasons of headers officially opened his own way to the king.
In contrast, Ronaldo, who had played well in the first 6 matches, played badly in the final and even created a suspense case. Four years later, at the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, Ronaldo was able to make up for this regret.
This world cup England team emerged as twin stars, but their performance in the World Cup is a double heaven of ice and fire. Owen emerged as a talented striker, and David Beckham became a public enemy of the United Kingdom with a red card. Four years later, Beckham killed Argentina and avenged the World Cup.
For the first time, 32 teams participated in the World Cup, and for the first time, a 3-point system was introduced, and this series of reforms made the World Cup finally become what it is now.
However, the World Cup will soon change again, the 2026 World Cup will start to participate in the team to 48, it is said that the time will be changed to every two years, if it really wants to become a reality, the World Cup will no longer have the previous influence.
