All-around center

"After the first half of the game, Uruguay is currently in a backward situation. Throughout the first half, they did not play too many effective attacks, and the threat in Croatia's half was not enough. On the contrary, Croatia did a good job in attack and control!"

"This is also what we often say. Croatia's strength in this World Cup is that they are too balanced. Unlike other teams, they have their own characteristics in offense and defense. Some teams are good at offense, and some teams are good at defense. Croatia is balanced. They do well on both offense and defense, and they are united enough!"

The Brazilian commentator nodded and said: "We have reason to believe that Brazil will definitely meet Croatia on the road to the World Cup. If we aim to win the championship, then Croatia is a strong opponent we must deal with!"

After 45 minutes, Croatia left a very deep impression on people.

Stable!

Stable to the point of being outrageous!

At present, in the two games, Croatia has almost no mistakes on the defensive end, and there is no defensive problem.

And on the offensive end, it is very strong. Facing such a Croatia is indeed a bit difficult to resist.

Compared with the 2010 World Cup, this Croatian team has also grown a lot.

The young men who rushed and worked hard at that time have now grown into experienced players.

They can not only attack the defense, but also patiently control the situation.

Suker poses a great threat, but Modric, Rakitic, Mandzukic and Perisic should not be underestimated either, not to mention that Croatia is a double-back who can advance at any time.

This set of tactics combined with Croatian local characteristics is now gradually exerting its strength.

In the second half, the two sides ended the halftime break and returned to the competition venue.

The scene was still full of cheers like a tsunami.

Croatian and Uruguayan fans are cheering and shouting with all their strength to cheer for their respective teams.

Uruguayan fans know very well that this is their key battle and a life-and-death battle.

If they lose this game, their four years of hard work will be gone.

Croatia wants to ensure promotion, so they can't let it go in this regard.

At the same time, according to Croatia's habit of eliminating favorable competitors in the group stage, they are indeed playing with the idea of ​​kicking Uruguay out.

In the second half, the expressions of the Uruguayan players were obviously more solemn or impatient.

They can already feel that elimination is so close to them.

The World Cup is cruel!

Four years of hard work, due to the disadvantages of two games, they were eliminated.

Uruguay is not willing to accept this, so they can only fight hard.

But their opponents are also very strong. So far, Uruguay really can't find a good way.

Facing this balanced Croatia, they really seem to be dragged into the quagmire.

Want to exert force but can't, there is a sense of déjà vu of a punch on cotton with a heavy punch, and all the strength can't be used.

Suarez is the one who has the most obvious feeling!

He is Uruguay's offensive spearhead and the most powerful offensive player.

So far, he has very few shots, let alone quality.

Their defense is still being attacked by Croatia, and the midfield and backcourt can provide him with even less support.

In this case, how to create opportunities with personal ability is something Suarez needs to think clearly.

But the problem is that he is really powerless against Croatia's defense.

This feeling is getting more and more solemn, and he is getting more and more impatient.

"Press up! We must press up at the beginning! We want to score! We can't lose this game!"

Suarez shouted again and again.

He is reminding his teammates how important this game is.

His teammates also know, but the problem is that they can't come up with a good solution.

Suker needs to defend!

Rakitic also needs to defend!

Croatia needs to target too many points, and they are in a backward situation and can't play an effective counterattack at all.

Every Uruguayan player is thinking about how to turn the situation around in the second half.

Croatia is following the previous tactics.

Suker is still jumping up and down. Since the beginning of this World Cup, he has been in a very good state.

He himself couldn't describe this state, but he was very excited both physically and mentally, and this excitement could also have a bonus effect on the game.

His thinking on playing football was also very clear, the situation could be seen more thoroughly, and the rhythm was also very right. Suker hoped that this state would continue until the moment of the World Cup.

After all, the World Cup is too important for him!

This is also the only honor that Suker lacks!

"Come on! Guys!"

Suker clapped his hands and turned to yell at his teammates.

His voice was full of confidence, which made the Croatian players even more excited.

Suker's state is excellent, which can benefit the whole team.

"Suker is excited!"

Van Styak said.

Although Suker's state has never been too bad, he has always maintained an average level. Of course, it may be that he is strong, so it is too hard to see.

But now, Van Styak can clearly feel that Suker is in good shape, with a strong desire to attack and score goals.

The hat trick in the first game directly made him take off.

For now, Croatia is very smooth!

Of course, this smoothness may not be a good thing, but both Besic and Van Styak want to continue this state, which is why they don't adjust Croatia's tactics.

Beep!

The sharp whistle broke through the sky again, accompanied by fierce cheers, and the second half of the game began.

"The second half of the game officially started. At present, Croatia is temporarily leading Uruguay 1:0. The two sides did not make much adjustments during the halftime break. After the first half, Croatia's main full-back Strinic was injured and had to use a substitution quota to let Joel Luka come on the bench."

"And Uruguay has obviously more yellow cards, which is also where Uruguay needs to be vigilant. Their current situation is very dangerous. Once they move too much, it is likely to cause the game to collapse!"

After the game started again, Uruguay launched another attack.

Their attack was rough!

They tried desperately to get into Croatia's defense, with Suarez and Cavani being the most active.

These two are key figures in Uruguay's forward line, and they do have the opportunity to create a goal.

Just as the game started, the commentator was still describing the game, and something unexpected happened.

Lovren's position was obviously too aggressive in a scramble, causing Lodeiro to pass the ball to Suarez who was in an open position. Suarez imaginatively knocked the ball with his heel, and the ball continued to drill forward and instantly penetrated Croatia's defense.

"Oh~~~ This ball!!"

Cavani cut forward from the side and directly crossed the back line.

"Cavani! Single-handed!!"

The Uruguayan commentator stood up in surprise.

There is a chance!

There is still a chance!

We must seize it!

Cavani rushed to the ball, and the Croatian players were also desperately rushing back to complete the block.

Vida arrived first, took a step forward, and directly put down a shovel to block.

Cavani dribbled the ball and changed direction, then immediately connected with a left-foot shot.

But at this moment, Croatian goalkeeper Subasic had already rushed to the front, and he turned his body into a wall and blocked the ball.

The ball hit Subasic's arm and flew out of the baseline.

"Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!"

The Uruguayan commentator shouted in frustration.

Single-handed!

This is a single-handed!

Why didn't he grasp it!

Cavani, this ball shouldn't have been!

Suk was also watching nervously on the way back to defense, and when he saw the ball was blocked, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Cavani!

You are worthy of it!

As the most famous expert in football!

Cavani's spitting, missing single-handed is not the first or second time.

But spitting at such a critical moment, which makes Suk feel a little unreasonable.

No matter how football tactics develop, the mission of the striker is always to score goals.

And Cavani's behavior of spitting the ball is no wonder he was criticized.

"This ball is very dangerous! Suarez did a good job with this ball. He used his heel to knock the ball forward to help Cavani create a single-handed opportunity. Unfortunately, Cavani failed to seize this opportunity and failed to help Uruguay equalize the score!"

Although he got a corner kick, the blow of missing the single-handed opportunity was also very big.

Cavani's whole expression was about to collapse.

He knew that this kind of opportunity might only come once in a game.

And he failed to seize it, which was a huge blow to his own and the team's morale.

Some teammates looked at Cavani with strange eyes.

Uruguay's overall morale was even lower. They failed to seize this ball, which was a huge blow to them.

"Cavani, this shouldn't be!"

The Brazilian commentator shook his head.

He was also helpless about this performance.

At such a critical moment, they got such a great opportunity, but they failed to grasp it. How big a blow is this to Uruguay?

It is conceivable that these Uruguayan players will think about this ball for a long time.

They will think, if this ball goes in, what will happen?

If this game is lost, Cavani will also be the target of condemnation by Uruguayan fans.

"Don't be reckless! Your action just now is too dangerous!"

Vida turned his head and shouted at Lovren.

This ball really scared him. If he lost the ball at this time, the rhythm would change, and even the tactics would have to be adjusted.

Vida was shocked and broke into a cold sweat.

Lovren was also a little embarrassed. That ball was indeed his own problem in handling.

He was indeed a little too lax!

When Lovren looked up, he saw Suker in the distance looking at him.

Suker pointed his finger at his eyes and poked Lovren.

This made the latter even more nervous.

"It's okay this time, but there won't be a next time!"

Srna also came over, patted Lovren on the shoulder and said, "Let's win the game first!"

Croatia immediately retreated and began to set up the defense line, waiting for Uruguay's corner kick.

At this moment, Uruguay's mentality obviously became more impatient.

Cavani missed the one-on-one opportunity, which had a more than a little impact on them.

Suarez tried his best to squeeze in, and he squeezed even if he couldn't squeeze in.

In the process, he and Srna had many confrontations and conflicts.

And Srna didn't give in at all.

Seeing his teammates about to take a free throw, Suarez ran to the landing point anxiously, but Srna suddenly crossed and blocked Suarez directly.

This forced him to go around to reach the landing point.

But in this way, he lost the chance to compete for the header.

At this moment, Suarez showed great irritability, and he was already getting angry.

Facing Srna's move, Suarez gritted his teeth in hatred, and suddenly turned around and bit it hard.

Bang!

Vida jumped high and headed the ball out.

After landing, before he could vent his anger, he heard a cry of pain from the side.

Ah~~~~~~! ! !

Vida turned his head and saw Srna falling to the ground with his hands on his shoulders.

Next to him, Suarez also fell to the ground with his hands on his mouth.

Vida couldn't figure out what happened.

But some people saw the whole picture, such as Vukojevic and Uruguayan player Lodeiro next to Srna.

Vukojevic was stunned.

Did he bite someone?

He clearly saw Suarez turn his head and bite Srna's shoulder directly.

Beep beep!

With a sharp whistle.

The referee rushed over immediately. He first glanced at the two of them, and then pressed the headset to communicate.

Srna stood up, pulled down his collar, revealing a clear tooth mark on his shoulder.

"He bit me!"

Srna complained directly.

The referee was also a little surprised. He had been refereeing games for so many years, but this was the first time he saw someone biting someone.

However, if it was someone else, it would be fine.

But Suarez has a criminal record!

This guy bit a player from PSV Eindhoven when he was playing for Ajax.

After the referee had communicated with the console, he confirmed that it was Suarez who took the initiative to bite someone.

"Sir, I bumped into him!"

Seeing the referee's obviously unfriendly look, Suarez began to make excuses for himself.

But the referee didn't believe him. Did he bump into someone and leave a mark?

The referee decisively took out a yellow card and then a red card!

In the first half, Suarez had already received a yellow card, and two yellows turned into one red.

And what awaits him is not just a simple result of being sent off. After the video playback is confirmed, FIFA may add a ban.

"This is too bad! Suarez took the initiative to bite someone in football. This action is too bad. There is no problem with this penalty!"

Suarez was sent off.

When he left the field, he was still touching his mouth, as if it was just a simple bump.

But the tooth marks can't deceive people!

You can't hit someone and leave such clear teeth marks.

The referee is not stupid.

In the bad environment of Uruguay today, impatience always makes people do some irrational behaviors.

Just like Suarez's biting incident.

The process of Suarez's biting was made public on the big screen through the replay, which was tantamount to publicly executing him, and it also showed that there was no problem with the referee's penalty.

This has been made public through video replay.

At this time, Uruguayan fans were somewhat ashamed to raise their heads. They were already behind, and this kind of thing happened.

Losing the game and losing face!

Suarez's exit was not just as simple as losing a striker, but they had to fight with ten people in the backward situation.

Eleven people can't win the game, let alone ten people.

It can be said that at this moment, Uruguay has completely collapsed.

"Well, maybe Uruguay will become the third team eliminated from the World Cup!"

The Brazilian commentator was euphemistic enough.

In his opinion, Uruguay's elimination was a foregone conclusion.

It's just that there's still some time left, so there's no conclusion.

But Croatia won't give them this opportunity.

In the following time, Uruguay's morale was low and they couldn't get motivated at all.

First, they missed a single shot!

Then Suarez bit someone and was sent off with a red card!

It can be said that Uruguay no longer had the basis for victory.

Croatia also took advantage of this opportunity and helped Mandzukic score a goal with Suker's breakthrough assist in the 78th minute.

With a two-goal lead, Uruguay lost the game.

Soon, time entered injury time.

Both sides also made symbolic substitutions.

Both Uruguay and Croatia knew that the game was over when Suarez was sent off.

And as the game ended, the whistle sounded.

In the end, in the second round of Group D of the 2014 World Cup, Croatia defeated Uruguay 2:0.

Croatia won two rounds and advanced to the World Cup knockout stage in advance.

Although there were some twists and turns and some unexpected events in this game, they finally won.

The two consecutive victories also boosted Croatia's morale, allowing them to continue to challenge for greater goals.

"The game is over. We defeated Uruguay 2-0 and advanced to the World Cup knockout round one round ahead of schedule. The boys did a great job. Of course, we also have to condemn Suarez's irrational biting behavior here!"

For any Croatian fan, Suarez's selection was irritating.

It's very annoying to bite someone if you can't kick them.

However, they still won, which made them less concerned.

If the situation changes due to biting problems.

They will probably tear Suarez alive!

"These clear teeth marks!"

Shukla Kesrna's jersey looked over his shoulder.

Now it has dissipated a bit, but the tooth marks are still very obvious.

It can be seen how unhappy and impatient Suarez was at that time.

"I told you to be careful, that guy has a criminal record!" Su Ke shook his head.

Srna sighed: "Who would have thought that he would really bite! And there is no way to avoid it."

Sirna patted his shoulder to relieve the swelling and pain.

Although he was bitten, he still felt relieved and happy to win the game.
