All-around center

There was laughter, tears, anger, warmth, radiance of fire, a touch of tenderness, wild celebrations, a sad back view...many emotions filled the World Cup for more than a month.

Some people must leave, and some people must be honored.

But now is not the time, everyone is working hard towards the goal.

It’s the fourth day since the World Cup started, and it’s getting more and more popular day by day.

Since the beginning of the World Cup, in addition to the respective favorites to win the championship, the repeated overturns of the traditional European teams have also cast a haze on this World Cup.

The emergence situation of each group was clear at the beginning, but now it has become a mess.

At the very least, apart from the top teams in the first four groups, it is impossible to guess who will qualify.

This is very different from the prediction before the game!

The next few games will certainly be affected by this atmosphere.

Especially looking at the performances after successive overturns, these traditional powerhouses from all continents also understand that in addition to themselves, there are many dark pony teams in this World Cup, and each of them is gearing up to fight.

If he continues to play at the same pace as before, he will most likely be killed.

From this day on, every game became more rigorous and the confrontation became more intense.

No matter what the situation is, if you slap someone to death, never take action a second time.

Everyone plays the game with a cautious attitude.

For Brazil, the organizer, the competition is full of excitement, especially off the court.

Brazil is a country with a high crime rate, and various gangs and evil forces are intertwined. In order to attract more tourists for the World Cup, it is also to create a good viewing experience.

As early as before the World Cup, Brazil used the National Defense Force to eliminate these gang-related groups, but due to their large size, they were always unable to eliminate them.

For this reason, on the streets of various cities in Brazil, you can see some soldiers driving armored vehicles and carrying live ammunition standing at various intersections, looking warily at the surrounding environment.

This is the only World Cup with such an atmosphere.

Of course, the security surrounding the representatives of each country is also a top priority.

With the development of football, outsiders always follow!

In order to control these external disks, some incidents have never stopped.

For example, Di Maria's family was kidnapped, Dias' father was kidnapped, etc. These are all closely related to these things.

To this end, we ensure that there are no accidents for participating players, give fans a good viewing experience, and at least ensure that the game goes on smoothly.

In order to deal with this problem, the major national teams almost never leave their homes except on match days.

Some teams choose training bases that are even next to hotels, or charter stadiums directly operated by hotels to avoid risks.

This is what Croatia does, they have a standard football pitch inside their hotel.

Although the facilities are relatively simple, it is relatively safer and they don't have to go to the training ground to run in all the time.

After the first round of competition, the entire Croatian team left Rio de Janeiro and came to Sao Paulo, a city in southeastern Brazil.

In the second round of the group stage, they will face Uruguay here.

For this game, Croatia is naturally training intensively.

Today is another media interview day. In addition to daily training, I need to spend more time cooperating with the media to do some publicity and interview work.

Of course, there are many Brazilian media here arranged by the organizer, but more of them are media from all over the world and Croatia.

"Hey! Suk!"

The commentator Krausiewicz hung a work badge around his neck and waved vigorously towards Suk.

Su Ke was still being interviewed by other media. He turned his head and looked over, then smiled and motioned for him to wait for a while.

Krausiewicz also nodded with a red face.

As a football commentator, he is the only one who can maintain such a close relationship with Su Ke.

What's more, Krausiewicz was invited to a family dinner by Su Ke.

Although it didn't last long, it still made him proud.

After Suker finished the interview with the organizer, he walked towards Krausiewicz.

“Being doing interviews all morning, it feels terrible!”

Hearing this, Krauszovich, who was about to take out the microphone, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Su Ke also saw this scene, smiled and waved his hand; "We are different, we are in the same group!"

Krauszovich suddenly smiled happily.

"Am I doing well?"

Suk looked at Klawsiewicz and raised his eyebrows.

Krausiewicz immediately gave a thumbs up: "More than good, you are definitely the best player in the first round of the group stage."

joke!

He completed a hat trick in the first game. With Suker's own reputation and such an outstanding performance, Suker must be the best player in the first cycle.

"Is the mood in the country good?"

Suk continued to ask.

Croatia has been waiting for this World Cup for four years!

After their defeat in South Africa, they have not lost confidence, but are even more looking forward to the World Cup in Brazil four years later.

Now that this moment has finally come, and Croatia defeated England in a crushing manner, the emotions must be very high.

Krauszovich said excitedly: "Of course! Everyone feels that we will definitely be able to enter the knockout rounds."

He really didn't dare to say more.

The more you look forward to something, the more you can't say it.

"How are we now?"

Although he witnessed Croatia's good condition, he couldn't help but want to confirm with Suker.

"Very good!" Suker turned his head to look at his teammates who were warming up in the training ground: "Everyone is very motivated, and they are looking forward to every game. I believe we will get a good result in this World Cup!"

As for the result, Suker didn't say it clearly.

He doesn't do things like setting flags before the game!

Klausevich nodded, and the two began to chat, and even this guy forgot what he was doing.

The photographer on the side was almost anxious to death!

Seeing that the interview time was about to come, Klausevich was still chatting non-stop, and the chat was hot.

After the photographer's reminder, Klausevich came back to his senses and immediately entered the working state.

His questions were all official, and he didn't put too much pressure on Suker and the players.

As the previous words said, at the level of the World Cup, they are all in the same group!

Everyone hopes that Croatia can get a good result in this World Cup, a result they like and even dream of.

The whole interview process is not long, about 10 minutes.

And Klausevich did not continue to disturb the players' training. He knew that it was not very reasonable to arrange media interviews at this time, but he had no choice but to accept the organizer's request.

For this reason, it is a good thing to get out as soon as possible!

The media interview session in the morning ended, and Croatia entered the formal training in the afternoon.

Among the three major football powers in South America, if Brazilian football is as passionate and unrestrained as samba without losing elegance, and Argentine football is as ups and downs as tango, then what kind of language can be used to describe Uruguayan football?

‘Football garbage! ’

This has been the nickname that has accompanied Uruguay for a long time.

Uruguay achieved independence with the ‘help’ of Britain, and their football was first introduced by the British. Therefore, Uruguayan football has the characteristics of “John Bull”-tough and rough!

In fact, it is a bit polite to describe it as ‘tough and rough’.

Uruguayan football is indeed very different in style. It is not as entertaining as Brazil and Argentina. Uruguayan players are accustomed to various flying tackles and small moves in the game, and are called the dirtiest team.

In the 1986 Mexico World Cup, Uruguayan player Batista was sent off for violent tackles 56 seconds into the game against Scotland! He created the fastest red card record in the history of the World Cup.

In every World Cup, they are at the top of the red and yellow card rankings.

Of course, this cannot deny this tough Uruguay.

It is undeniable that they play a little dirty, but their strength cannot deceive people.

In this South American continent where the five-star Brazil and the Pampas Eagles coexist, Uruguay has been able to squeeze into the top three, and they also have their own characteristics.

And this characteristic is resilience and unexpectedness!

Uruguay's games cannot be judged by common sense. They always make some focus time in the game, and their actions are also imaginative, helping the team win.

Just like in the 2010 World Cup, Suarez handballed at a critical moment, blocking Ghana's sure goal, and Ghana missed a penalty kick, which led to their eventual elimination.

This is allowed by the rules, and Suarez also paid the price of a red card and suspension!

But in terms of reason, this is also a bad incident, enough to make the Ghanaian people gnashing their teeth at him.

The most important thing about the current Uruguay is Suarez.

At this time, Suarez has not yet joined Barcelona, ​​and his style is also a "dirty" type!

He is definitely a villain on the court, and his playing style is also dirty!

Whether it is international competitions or club competitions, he has committed many crimes.

However, he is also smart. He knows best what he and the team need, so it doesn't matter even if he sacrifices himself or uses some bad means to win.

He is a typical person who values ​​results rather than processes!

A typical utilitarian striker!

In fact, Suker is also of this type, but he combines many other abilities, which makes his style more gorgeous.

When people mention Suker, they don't think he is a utilitarian. He has dribbling, passing, assists and sacrifices.

However, if you analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to see that every action of Suker has a strong purpose.

But these will be hidden!

Suker knows what the public wants to see, and he gives it for this.

This is also the reason why he moved from the center position at the beginning to the winger and has been in this position.

Because in today's football, the winger is the position with the strongest offensive attributes.

"The next game against Uruguay will definitely be a fierce game!"

Besic dare not say what the situation is, but the scene is definitely full of gunpowder.

This game is crucial for both Croatia and Uruguay.

For Croatia, if they win this game, they will get the right to advance in advance, which will make them more relaxed in their mentality and more conducive to dealing with the next game.

For Uruguay, they have already lost the first game, so this game is a game that cannot be lost.

Once they lose, they will face the danger of losing two games.

If Costa Rica draws with England or wins, they will be completely hopeless.

For this reason, Uruguay will work hard in this game and try its best to win.

Of course, their situation is also very serious, and the game will definitely not be easy to play.

After all, they are facing the favorites to win this World Cup.

Croatia is definitely recognized as one of the strongest teams in this World Cup.

"Suarez and Cavani are players we must be wary of," Srna said.

In fact, Uruguay lost the first game on their own.

The coaching staff at the time put Suarez on the bench in order to allow him to exert his strength in the second half.

But they panicked when they conceded the first goal in the first half, and then the defender was sent off with a red card, leading to a ten-man battle.

The substitution quota originally prepared for Suarez will eventually be filled in the defense line.

In the end, they failed to win!

It can be said that a goal and a red card made by Costa Rica directly pushed Uruguay to the edge of the cliff.

The situation in Group D today is also complicated.

Before the game, many people were optimistic that Croatia and Uruguay would qualify together.

Croatia played steadily and got a good start.

On the other hand, Uruguay just played a big game and almost lost themselves.

In this second game, Uruguay's pressure is definitely much greater than that of Croatia.

In the second round alone, they were already forced into a life-or-death battle.

Oscar Tavares, Uruguay head coach and former Uruguay player.

Tavares coached Uruguay for the first time in 1989. In the 1990 World Cup in Italy, he led the team to the top 16, which was Uruguay's best result in the World Cup in 20 years.

Since then, Tavares has been coaching clubs, leaving his mark on several clubs in Argentina. In 1996, he briefly coached Milan without success.

After returning to the national team, he continues to lead Uruguay to this day.

Tavares is an elegant and smooth talker, nicknamed "The Mentor" and is known for being good at cultivating young people.

"A sound youth training system is the key to the renaissance of Uruguayan football."

This is also the core idea of ​​​​Tavares' coaching.

He likes to use some young people and is good at teaching them.

However, this old coach has also faced a big hurdle in his life.

They encountered a life-or-death battle at the beginning of the World Cup.

If he doesn't play well in the next game, it will probably be his worst performance during the World Cup.

Of course, Tavares also knows that the players are also under great psychological pressure at this time.

For this reason, he tried to speak as lightly as possible so as not to cause them more troubles.

But even so, the atmosphere still didn't change much.

Uruguay's players are not fools either!

They are very aware of their current situation.

Since they lost the first game they had to win, they could only fight with Croatia!

But is this Croatian team really a tough nut they can chew off?

Although there is no experience of head-to-head confrontation with Croatia, many people within the national team have experienced the power of players such as Suker, Modric, Srna, and Rakitic.

For example, players such as centre-back Godin, forward Cavani and Suarez who play for European clubs understand this very well.

"I happened to meet Su Ke in a crucial match!"

Godin looked sad.

He is an iron-blooded central defender and one of the most powerful central defenders in football.

But if asked about the person he fears the most, it is undoubtedly Su Ke!

During these years of playing for Atletico Madrid, he was almost frightened by Real Madrid and Suker!

You can’t win in the league and you can’t win in the Champions League.

Now that I have come to the national team, I still have to face the haze of Suker. This feeling is really bad.

No one knows better than him the feeling of powerlessness that comes from the heart when facing Su Ke.

"Suk's status is indeed a problem!"

Cavani looked solemn.

Suker is in great shape, scoring a hat-trick in the first game, and Croatia is also in high morale.

At this time, facing Croatia, I really felt like I was looking for death.

But they have to face it!

"He was like this in the Champions League final." Godin paused and grinned: "No! He has been like this all season!"

Suker's outstanding form is something that players who have never played in La Liga will not understand.

In particular, Atletico Madrid is Real Madrid's neighbor. The guy next door will become a hot spot in every game. Atletico Madrid, with its strong defense, cannot benefit from Suker, which makes Godin even more worried.

He still has some confidence in others.

But Su Ke did bring him great psychological pressure.

"We just need to score first!"

Suarez said.

Cavani frowned: "But Croatia seems to be very good at playing against the wind, and facing Croatia, do you think it can take the lead?"

Godin added; "Their defense is not a vegetarian either!"

Not to mention Manchester United's main defender Vida.

Srna is the man who has won the Champions League three times in a row. When he was at his peak, he was the number one full-back in the world. It would be difficult for any winger to benefit from him.

Although Srna's condition has declined now, his experience is still there and his judgment is accurate enough.

Godin, who is also a defender, knows very well that having such a stable full-back partner will bring about changes to the entire defense line.

"I don't like your negative mentality!" Suarez frowned.

He felt that his teammates were a little too negative!

Cavani sighed.

Since Suarez joined Liverpool, he has not played in the Champions League for several seasons.

He doesn't know to what extent these guys have transitioned.

Others are getting more and more evil as they get older, but Srna is both evil and annoying!

Modric's central organization is also quite a headache!

Rakitic's dribbling is also a problem that needs to be solved.

With the center forward as the fulcrum, Mandzukic is easy to deal with?

Not to mention that there is a Suker staring at the wing!

This game seems difficult to play no matter how you look at it, and there is no breakthrough.

But they have to bite the bullet and play!
