Chapter 327 The Tsar (fourth update, please subscribe!)

"What a wonderful goal!"

"This lying down shot fully demonstrates Su Ke's superb shooting skills!"

"Even when he lost his center of gravity, he still completed a wonderful shot!"

In the arena, Suk immediately got up from the ground.

After confirming the goal, he turned around and rushed to the corner kick area to celebrate, running and shouting.

"Awesome!"

"That's awesome!"

"I'm so awesome!"

When Suker ran to the corner kick, the Croatian fans in the away stands also became excited.

They sent waves of fierce cheers towards Suk.

Suker's goal allowed the Croatian team to break the deadlock in the game.

And it's still leading away from home.

This is of extremely important significance to them.

"God! How did you do that!"

"Goal! Oh my god! This is unbelievable!"

"Can you get in here?"

Mandzukic and others rushed over, their expressions were excited, but more of a shock.

Mainly this goal, they know how difficult it is.

Usually at the moment of falling, they have already chosen to lie down.

But Suker was able to score.

This was incredible to them.

But the situation is good, after all, Croatia is ahead.

"Oh~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!——"

The Croatian rock coach started celebrating passionately again.

He bolted along the sideline.

When he approached the Russian coaching bench, he turned around and ran towards the other side.

Running back and forth, shouting and cheering constantly.

Suker's goal not only helped Croatia break the deadlock, but also relieved Bilic's pressure a lot.

With this goal, Croatia can gain more initiative and advantages.

But now

"Defense! Hold this point!"

Bilic shouted loudly towards the pitch.

The Croatian team also returned to halftime after celebrating and began to prepare to defend.

In less than ten minutes, the first half will be over.

They must not let Russia score any goals.

"The Croatian boys started to defend. They made the right choice. The next step is to hold on and carry the advantage into the second half!"

With Croatia's goal, the Russian players became obviously impatient.

Their offense also became more intense.

The number of presses and crosses from the frontcourt also increased.

Even with little time left in the first half, they chose to take a long shot in order to give it a try.

But Croatia stabilized its defense and occupied various defensive points.

Except for Mandzukic who was at the front, the others all retreated to defend.

Finally, the whistle sounded at the end of the first half and the game entered the intermission.

"Damn it! I'm so tired!"

Simunic walked into the locker room cursing, but with a smile on his face.

Russia fought too hard in the final minutes.

They couldn't resist it.

However, in the end, the advantage was carried into the second half with the help of tenacious defense.

"Be careful in the second half, these guys can't run to death!"

Suk said while chewing a banana.

Simunic grinned; "Aren't you tired?"

Suk: "I'm hungry!"

As he spoke, he broke off another piece and handed it to Modric.

The latter took it and stuffed it into his mouth.

The two of them were eating bananas as if nothing was wrong.

"Don't be surprised!" Srna patted Simunic on the shoulder; "these two guys have the physical fitness of a mule."

"Mule?"

Simunic was puzzled.

Just listen, Mandzukic grabbed his pants and roared: "Suk! Die!"

Suk scurried to the other side of the table and teased Mandzukic.

Simunic was almost sick from exhaustion.

But looking at Su Ke, who obviously ran more than him, he finally understood what 'mule-level physical fitness' meant.

"Everyone sit down!"

Bilic entered the locker room, saw Suker and Mandzukic fighting, and immediately scolded him.

When has this been? Can we still play the second half of the game?

Don’t know how to save energy?

Mandzukic returned to the bench and sat down, looking at Suker eagerly.

Suk walked to Simic's side.

"Squeeze!"

Mandzukic immediately raised his hand: "Suk won't return to his position!"

"You kid! You're snitching!" Suk immediately laughed and scolded, turning to point at Mandzukic; "Coach, he wants to beat me!"

Mandzukic: "He took off my pants!"

"I don't!"

"have!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

Bilic rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, "You two, please be honest."

Suk and Mandzukic immediately shut up.

"Go back and sit down, don't make any more trouble!"

Suk immediately walked over obediently.

Mandzukic began to move towards Suk.

Bilic's eyes widened, and Mandzukic was so frightened that he immediately sat upright.

"In the second half, we must stabilize our defense. This is the key among the keys. We must also be wary of the opponent's No. 10!"

Arshavin repeatedly attacked the Croatian defense and posed a great threat.

Although he failed to score a goal, it can be seen that Arshavin's condition is gradually improving.

In addition to Arshavin, Pavlyuchenko, a tall man, is also a hidden danger.

This guy is not the kind of forward who is good at dribbling and impacting, but he has extremely strong ability to grab points.

The big reason why Simunic played so tiredly was because of Parlyuchenko.

Although Simunic is taller, he can still jump if he can't stand him!

"The second half focuses on defensive counterattacks!"

Bilic clapped loudly: "Let us win our first victory in the European Cup qualifiers!"

“First win!!!——”

Everyone roared.

At this moment, morale was extremely high.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.

Neither side made any personnel adjustments during the halftime break.

Both coaches trust the players on the field.

At the beginning of the game, Russia changed their tactics. They took advantage of Arshavin's impact on the wing and made frequent passes, allowing Pallyuchenko to create opportunities for Russia to grab points.

Croatia defended very hard.

Simunic was at a disadvantage in several battles for the top, and Roberto Kovac had to make up for him.

Sometimes, Niko Kovac even has to retreat.

The Kovac brothers are a rare partner who both were selected for the national team. Their cooperation in the national team is also very skillful, especially in defense, they can always complement each other.

However, this complementarity gradually disappeared during Russia's repeated bombings.

"Too passive!"

Suk frowned.

He is not questioning coach Bilic's tactics.

But at present, Croatia's main performance is strong offensively and weak defensively. Those Croatian iron guards have not yet fully grown up.

Although Simunic and Kovac are both good, Croatia as a whole still has some shortcomings.

Suker prefers to control the ball in the midfield, making full use of his advantages and avoiding shortcomings.

But Bilic obviously didn't think so.

Russia's offensive continues.

Su Ke was anxious in front. He also tried to retreat to defend several times, but with little effect.

What makes defense proactive is the system and discipline.

Even if one person defends well, the overall situation of stretching the crotch is not impossible.

Competitions at the national team level lack training and break-in time, so it is impossible to perfect the defensive system like the club.

For this reason, many national teams directly use the defense line of a certain club.

This avoids break-in!

But the problem is that the Croatian national team is more inclined to recruit players from the five major leagues.

Although players from domestic leagues will also be recruited, the proportion is not large.

Look at the Russian lineup.

This is CSKA Moscow's defense + Zenit's forward. If you mix it up in the midfield, it doesn't take much running-in, and it can be pulled out to form combat effectiveness.

Suker actually hopes that Dinamo Zagreb can develop a top defense line.

But based on the ‘supermarket’ nature of Dinamo Salaghb, this is simply not possible.

Therefore, Croatia still needs to further adjust.

At this point, Arshavin was nearing the bottom line.

He faked a fax deduction, and Simic blocked it and immediately passed him by.

After entering the penalty area, Arshavin shot directly.

His shot is extremely decisive.

The ball flew close to the ground, passed through the armpit of Croatian goalkeeper Pletikosa, and flew into the goal.

In the 71st minute, Russia scored with Arshavin's wonderful breakthrough + shot.

"GOAL!!!!!"

"Andrei Arshavin, he stood up when Russia needed him most. Under continuous impact, we finally found the opportunity and scored the goal to equalize the score!"

"Well done boys!"

The Russian commentator raised his hands and roared:

"Ula!"

The entire stadium suddenly burst into violent cheers.

Ula! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

Russian fans are excited.

This precious goal calmed their previous anxiety.

Moreover, from the beginning of the second half, Russia's performance gradually improved.

The game continues.

The outcome is unpredictable!

And the balance of victory began to tip towards Russia.

The fourth update is delivered!
