風骨？
唔會叫呢做風骨，但唔知叫咩。
當一個國家被兼拼後，達到近乎亡國嘅階段再重生，那一種生命力、感染力與團結是難以被其他人所理解的。足球在歐洲就像一場小戰爭，當克羅地亞持續有好成績，而塞爾維亞不知所蹤之時，成功代表的那種東西多強。

風骨
俄羅斯2018世界杯烽火散盡。本屆世界杯一路黑到底的黑馬克羅地亞隆重歸國。這個國家的女總統曾像一個普通人一樣進入球員們的休息室，既沒有發表重要講話，也沒有作出重要指示，而是挨個給了每一位球員一個擁抱。
而比女總統的擁抱更熱烈更溫暖的，是迎接球隊回國的大批克羅地亞人。
為了能夠迎接自己的球隊，無數克羅地亞人從比賽剛結束時，就連夜往首都薩格勒布飛奔。他們坐火車，坐大巴，甚至遠在其他國家生活的克羅地亞人，也紛紛回國。他們要趕在自己的球員歸國前，站在歡迎他們的廣場上。
在一些國家，面對如此龐大的人群蜂擁而至，礦泉水都會賣到10塊錢一瓶。但是，克羅地亞國家鐵路公司卻給一心隻想發財的人民上了一課，他們悄然將火車票打了5折。對，你沒聽錯，是5折！以方便更多的克羅地亞人抵達首都廣場。
貼心的不只是鐵路，還有克羅地亞航空公司。球隊乘坐的克羅地亞航空專機——空客A319，被航空公司特意粉刷一新。
還沒完，這架專機在進入克羅地亞領空時，2架米格-21空軍戰機升空護航，一左一右傳送聲波「歡迎回家」，直至專機降落才悄然離去。
落地後的狂歡，熱情塞滿每一個角落。克羅地亞人圍了個水泄不通。原本從機場到大廣場只有15公里，正常情況下開車也就是20分鐘，載著球員們的大巴，竟然開了整整6個小時！
而克羅地亞電視台全部取消了正在播出的常規節目，改為全程直播國家隊的歸國慶典。
球隊大巴從白天開到晚上，群眾與球員盡情歡樂，釋放激情。
這支克羅地亞隊不僅球技和意志力令人尊敬，他們還有更令人贊佩的地方！根據國際足聯規定，世界杯的亞軍球隊可以獲得一筆巨額獎金，2,300萬歐元，合計2個多億人民幣！
這筆錢如果在某些國家，基本就被瓜分了。足協留一部分，球員分一部分，如果再大方一點，球員所屬球隊或許也能跟著喝口湯。
如今2,300萬歐元到手了，克羅地亞隊教練、球員卻超級淡定。西班牙《阿斯報》報道，克羅地亞國家隊主帥達利奇發表了一封公開信。他透露，克羅地亞球員已經決定，將把世界杯上獲得的獎金，全部捐獻給該國一家兒童基金會。
我們都知道，在歐盟國家中，克羅地亞是最窮的國家之一，人民生活並不富裕。克羅地亞儘管有1,880公里的海岸線，但很多兒童卻從未看到過大海，甚至有些兒童到現在還吃不飽肚子。
於是，克羅地亞全隊一致同意，將這筆巨額獎金一分不留，全部捐獻給克羅地亞的這個兒童基金會。
克羅地亞國家隊主帥達利奇說，國家隊的成員和克羅地亞人民在一起。這個基金會將用這筆錢資助那些從未看過大海的兒童去海邊度假！
更令人意想不到的是，克羅地亞國家隊主帥達利奇在發表的這封公開信中，既沒有感謝所有的TV，也沒有表功和叫苦，反而用了很犀利的語言呼籲，克羅地亞的政治人物不要用國家隊的成功給自己貼金，不要利用球隊的戰績為自己謀取利益！
這樣的球隊，這樣的球員，這樣的風骨，怎能不讓球迷喜歡、追隨、敬佩？
當我們還在蠅營狗苟的時候，當我們還在勾心鬥角的時候，當我們還在拼命搞贊助的時候，克羅地亞隊早已甩出了我們一條萬里長城的距離。
更為可怕的是，他們是踢球的，但早已超出了足球本身的境界！
他們不僅僅是個踢球的，而我們很多人卻僅僅是個演戲的……。
Croats Style
Russia’s 2018 World Cup's fire had dissipated. The dark horse team of the World Cup has been returned to their country. The female president of this country had entered the players' lounge like an ordinary person. She did not make important speeches or made important instructions, but gave each player a hug.
And comparably warmer than the hug of their female president is the large number of Croats who are welcoming the team home.
In order to greet their own team, countless Croats flew to the capital Zagreb at the end of the game. They took the trains, took the buses, and even the Croatians living in other countries, they also returned home. They are going to stand in the square and welcome them before their players return home.
In some countries, in the face of such a large crowd, mineral water would sell for 10 dollars a bottle. However, the Croatian National Railway Company gave a lesson to the people who only wanted to make a fortune, and they quietly took a 50% discount on the train ticket. Yes, you didn’t get it wrong, it’s 50% off! To facilitate more Croatians to arrive at the Capital Square.
Not only is the railway thought, but there is also the Croatian Airlines. The Croatian airliner, an Airbus A319, was specially repainted by the airline.
Not to be finished, when the special plane entered Croatian airspace, two MiG-21 Air Force fighters took off and escorted them. One on the left and another on the right sent a sound wave "Welcome Home" until the plane landed and left quietly.
After landing, a carnival atmosphere filled every corners with enthusiasm. The Croatian team are surrounded by water. Originally from the airport to the Grand Place only 15 kilometers, under normal circumstances, driving is 20 minutes, carrying the players' bus, even travelled a full 6 hours!
The Croatian TV station cancelled all the regular programs being broadcast and changed to the national team’s returning ceremony.
The team bus runs from day to night, and the masses and players enjoy themselves and released their passion.
This Croatian team is not only respectable in terms of skills and willpower, they also have more admirable sides ! According to FIFA regulations, the runner-up team of the World Cup can get a huge bonus of 23 million euros, totaling more than 2 billion RMB!
In some countries, this amount of money is basically divided. The Football Association keeps a portion, the players shared a portion, and if they are more generous, the players' teams may also be able to drink soups.
Today, 23 million euros are available, and the Croatian coaches and players are super calm. Spain's "Aspen" reported that Croatian national team coach Dalic issued an open letter. He revealed that the Croatian players have decided to donate all the prize money won in the World Cup to a children foundation in their country.
We all know that among the EU countries, Croatia is one of the poorest countries and people don't lead wealthy lives. Although Croatia has a coastline of 1,880 km, many children have never seen the sea, and till today, some children still even have not had filing meals.
As a result, the Croatian team unanimously agreed to donate this huge bonus to this children foundation in Croatia.
The Croatian national team coach Dalic said that members of the national team are with the Croatian people. The foundation will use the money to help children who have never seen the sea go to the beach for a holiday!
What is even more unexpected is that the Croatian national team coach Dalic has not thanked all the TVs in this open letter, but also did not express his strength and grievances. Instead, he used a very sharp language to appeal, that the Croatian political figures not use the national team's success to benefit themselves monetarily, and not to use the team's achievement to profit themselves!
Such a team, such a player, such a style, how can it not let the fans like, follow, and admire?
When we were still in the fly-infested camp shit, when we were still intriguing, when we were still desperately sponsoring, the Croatian team had already set aside our Great Wall.
Even more frightening is that they are playing football, but they have already exceeded the realm of football itself!
They are not just playing football, but many of us are just acting...
