Even if they lost to France in the World Cup finals in Russia, no one thought Croatia was a loser, because. They not only created the myth of dark horse, but also broke the third place achievement created by their predecessors in the 1998 World Cup in France. The captain of the Croatian national team is modric's idol, Bo Ban, known as Zorro in football.
Only now Bo Ban has resigned from FIFA and returned to Milan to undertake the financial work of the club. As a celebrity, he voluntarily gave up his bright future and was willing to help the team revive. This is not the first time that Bo Ban has chosen righteously. As early as 19 years old, he became a national hero in the hearts of Croats, although he missed the 90 World Cup because of this "impulsive" ban.
Young Bo Ban showed his extraordinary football talent very early. When his father recommended his hometown Friedrich Hirth team, the latter was rejected by the coach. Stubborn and even crazy father, in a rage, sold his family and moved to Zagreb, just to let his children enter the top youth training camp.
Sure enough, Dynamo kept Bo Ban without much hesitation and cultivated him into a core player. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, this talented new star began to play in Yugoslavia's top league. Skilled, simple and fierce, Bo Ban has grown rapidly, not only becoming the first star of the team, but also taking over as the team captain with excellent temperament and leadership. You know, he had just passed the age of weak crown at that time.
The road to football in Bo Ban is not as smooth as expected. All the changes come from an ordinary league of 1990. That year, Dynamo, representing the highest level of Croatian football, met Belgrade Red Star, Serbia's largest club. Unexpectedly, the game actually triggered a large-scale riot, and a large number of police had to enter the scene to maintain order.
At this moment, Bo Ban found a Serbian policeman beating Croatian fans, and he flew without hesitation. This foot was described by later generations as the fuse of Croatia's independence. Many Croatian youths printed photos of Bo Ban standing up on their clothes and painted them on the walls, as if rendering them into a cultural symbol.
Of course, this kind of violence is not worth advocating, so Bo Ban was suspended for four months. Then the Yugoslav civil war broke out, and Croatian players collectively chose to quit the Yugoslav national team and began to form their own national team, which was later the Plaid Army. A year later, Croatia was recognized by FIFA, but they never got the opportunity to participate in international competitions.
It was not until 1998 in France that Croatia first appeared in the World Cup finals. At this time, Bo Ban is in its golden age. As the core and captain of the team, he carries the football hope of the whole country.
Although it is the first time to participate in such a competition, Croatian players have left an indelible impression on fans all over the world. The whole team was infected by Captain Bo Ban, full of confidence and passion. Even in the face of a powerful German chariot, the Plaid Army showed no mercy, and played a simple but bloody football belonging to Croats, winning the opponent with three goals.
After the game, even German fans joked: "Croats should not be allowed to build their own teams because they are much more difficult to deal with than Yugoslavia." . Similar to the situation in Russia in 18, the checkered army lost to the thriving French team. In this semi-final, Bo Ban's mistake directly led to Thuram's goal, which also made him feel guilty.
Fortunately, Croatia beat the Netherlands in the third and fourth finals and won the third place. Bo Ban, who won the bronze medal, seems unhappy. He knows that he and his teammates can create a more perfect solution. With the regret of the World Cup, he worked harder after returning to the club and led Milan towards rejuvenation as the core.
At that time, Milan's Three Musketeers era was over, and Bo Ban was the absolute core of Zaccheroni's Milan. In front of him are the bully bierhoff and the current Liberian President george weah. At the beginning of the season, Milan encountered unprecedented difficulties and turned over in small teams one after another. With the progress of the league, the Rossoneri got better and better, and successfully surpassed Lazio to win the championship in the final round, and won the16th league title in the club's history at the centenary.
Unfortunately, this is Bo Ban's last championship in Milan. With the arrival of Rui Costa, he completely lost his main position. So the foreign player who won the most honors in the history of the Rossoneri was loaned to Certa in La Liga, where he announced his retirement and officially ended his legendary career.
As the inheritor between Milan's Three Musketeers era and Ancelotti era, Bo Ban dedicated all his peak period to the Rossoneri in the gloom. He rarely plays the role of a savior born out of nowhere, nor is he a killer who kills all sides, but he is an indispensable inheritor in the history of the team 100 years. Bo Ban passed on the fighting spirit and desire to win in the Three Musketeers era to the younger generation, and set an example to infect the rookie in the team, which contributed to the re-emergence of Milan in the early 20th century.
Bo Ban, the successor of the player era, now assumes this responsibility in another capacity. After Maldini returned to Milan, the greatest captain in the history of the Rossoneri recalled Milan 10, who had made great achievements in FIFA. It is said that the current FIFA President infantino has kept Bo Ban for many times, but he still can't stop him from returning to the San Siro.
Life in Milan is not easy now after Bertrand's later decline and the short-term recovery in the "Li Ge" era. Nevertheless, Bo Ban is determined to take the risk of "losing honor" and lead his beloved club to glory again.
At the beginning of his tenure, Bo Ban, together with Paolo Maldini and others, planned a reasonable and clear blueprint for the revival of Milan. First, hire giampaolo, a young marshal with greater strength than fame, to create a modern tactical system for the team; Then let the team voluntarily withdraw from the Europa League, in exchange for a year of financial freedom, while avoiding the fatigue caused by multi-line operations.
Unfortunately, this kind of luck did not last long. In the first half of this year, AC Milan officially announced the dismissal of Bo Ban. However, the latter is indifferent to this. In fact, compared with most football players, Bo Ban is lucky. He firmly grasped his destiny in the great changes of the times. From the national hero of Croatia to the bloody captain of the plaid army; From the core of AC Milan 10 to the financial director of the Rossoneri; From top players to incorruptible football politicians, Bo Ban has given everything to Croatia and Milan, and his loyalty is commendable.
