Edin Dzheko became the main hero of the pre-final match of the playoffs of qualification to the World Championship. Thanks to his late goal, Bosnia and Herzegovina was able to equalize the score against Wales, and will win in the post-match penalty shootout.
In the upcoming second round, the Bosnians are facing the final test - the battle for a ticket to the tournament against the Italian national team. At the hour of the battle with the Welsh, the 40-strong attacker soon succeeded in saving his efforts until victory. The final moment of the match was brought to a head by entering into a violent emotional altercation with the head coach of the Wales team and his formidable Manchester City partner Craig Bellamy..
This victory brought Dzeko closer to the elite club. Once Bosnia passes Italy, United States will become one of the few field champions with over 40 years in the history of world championships. Along with the only football player who has been considered, the Cameroonian Roger Milla is missing, who was killed in the 1994 emergency for 42 years and 35 days (before the word, he also scored a goal at the gate of Russia).
Although the game of the field players of such a century at the World Cup is a great rarity, among the goalkeepers of this kind the achievement fell to six.
It’s cool that at the upcoming tournament Dzheko may join the company of other veterans. Croatian national team star Luka Modric is preparing to lead his team with the captain's armband, and 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo is playing in his sixth world championship. Prote, in addition to them, for Jacko this may become the first part of the world's feather for the remaining 12 years.
Dzeko has been a key player in his country since his debut in 2007 (73 goals in 147 matches) and continues to score quickly for the remaining two decades. Last summer, we returned to the Italian Serie A, signing a contract with Fiorentina. Then the Bosnian added a joke about those who are old:.
“The age has no meaning, it’s less early to write off. Behind everything there is a robot, as the last century may end - more and more. I feel good"
However, in Italy things didn’t go according to plan: the striker failed to appear in 11 matches and lost his place in the starting lineup. Prote today's move to Schalke in the other Bundesliga gave it new strength.
The forward scored 6 goals in 8 matches for the German team, having gained optimal form just ahead of the top team games.
Recently, talking about his future, Jacko said: “When I fly, I will listen to my body, but at the same time I still feel good and score goals.”.
One thing is obvious: if we help Bosnia and Herzegovina qualify for the World Championship, a serious issue with the powerful body about the end of their career will definitely be announced.
