"Barak began to attack the Croatian defense in the frontcourt"

Watching Ballack carry the confrontation between Vukojevic and Modric, and at the same time send the ball to Podolski's feet, after passing the ball, the whole person even fell down in an awkward manner like a dog chewing shit. The German commentator couldn't help but sigh; "Barak really worked hard!"

There is no problem with Ballack's professional attitude. He has the fighting spirit and drive to pursue championships.

Although there is a feeling that he was born at the wrong time, it is undeniable that he withstood Germany's weakest period.

The same was true for Ballack at this time, fighting very fiercely.

"You can really carry it!"

Vukojevich turned to look at Barak. After this guy got up from the ground, he was still running forward.

Although the chance to compete for the top has been lost at this time, I still want to find a second landing point.

boom!

The ball was cleared by Simunic.

Modric received the ball and was about to turn around when he was knocked down by Ballack.

"Damn it!"

Modric secretly exclaimed that it was a pity that under the circumstances, without Ballack's interference, they would have been able to counterattack immediately.

But Ballack's foul came just in time.

Beep!

The referee showed Ballack a yellow card.

When the foul occurred, Ballack tripped Modric directly, which was a yellow card action.

Ballack has no complaints about this, as long as he can hold the line of defense.

The German team began to quickly defend, and Croatia also lost the opportunity to counterattack.

Under this situation, Modric began to control the midfield again and used the strategy of transferring and delaying time.

Croatia are very good at using the width of the field and not wasting any distance from the touchline.

After making full use of the width of the field, it also stretches the opponent's defense line horizontally. Unless another person is invested, there will still be loopholes in the midfield.

Modric is waiting for this moment.

However, the German players, led by Ballack, gradually began to exert their strength.

They run very aggressively.

Even though it was already the 70th minute of the second half, there was still no relaxation.

"Force me!"

Suddenly, Barak yelled that they wanted to surround Kranica.

Kranjca's reaction was also very smart. Almost at the same time as Ballack yelled, he passed the ball towards Modric in the back.

At this time, the German full-back had just raised his position and before he had time to retreat, Modric faced the ball and passed it directly to the open position.

In that position, Su Ke had already pulled over, unloaded the ball and turned around in one go.

Suker looked up towards the penalty area, when the German defender arrived belatedly.

Suk has the ability to forcefully attack the opponent, but Kranica also approaches the rib area. Suk directly passes the ball back and then runs towards the center.

When Su Ke ran horizontally, he involved the opponent's defense and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

At this time, Kranica passed towards Suk again, and Suk knocked back again.

But this time, he knocked it to Duimovic in the middle.

After completing the knockback, Suk accelerated diagonally and ran wildly.

This sudden change made Mertesacker subconsciously keep up with Suker.

But soon, he came back to his senses.

Suk's run like this directly tore open the space in the middle.

Duimovic stepped forward to play the ball, his eyes brightly looking towards the German goal.

He suddenly raised his right foot and hit the door directly.

"Another long shot from Duimovich!"

Croatian commentator Krausiewicz yelled suddenly.

The Croatian fans at the scene also held their breath.

The ball hit the goal like a cannonball, and the ball was pressed very well. The ball almost flew close to the ground. This is the goalkeeper's most annoying way of shooting.

But German goalkeeper Lehmann is no ordinary person.

He immediately squatted in the splits, and the arch of his foot touched the ball as it bounced, and the ball flew into the mid-air at the penalty spot.

"untie"

Just as Lehmann was about to yell, he saw a figure appear there and raised his right foot to shoot directly.

Uh-huh!

The ball hits the net!

At this moment, not only Lehmann was stunned, but also the German fans at the scene.

Lost the ball again?

Lost three goals!

What the hell is going on!

Lehmann looked pained, and the linesman did not raise the flag to indicate offside.

The referee even blew the whistle at the center circle!

The goal is valid!

Croatia opened the score again and led Germany 3:0!

"Three balls! Three balls!!"

Klawsiewicz shouted excitedly.

Facing the powerful Germany and leading by three goals, what kind of concept is this?

Of course, Germany played very poorly in this game, but it is still Germany after all.

If the state is poor, it means the opponent failed to adjust well, which is also part of the game.

With a three-goal lead, Krausiewicz felt extremely satisfied.

Croatia's past style was to start to defend with all its strength after finally scoring a goal.

In the two games of this European Cup, they have scored six goals!

How could he not be excited by such offensive firepower.

Throughout the stadium, Croatian fans began to sing loudly.

The game is over!

It has ended!

With a three-goal lead, how can Germany make a comeback?

The Croatian lads won't give them that chance.

On the court, Loew's face was also livid, and his fists were clenched, unclenched, and then clenched again.

He felt extremely angry inside, but there was nothing he could do.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he was tricked by the opponent's head coach.

"You know how to be clever!"

Leif snorted softly.

But sometimes this little cleverness works, as it does now.

Germany was tricked by Croatia and now has basically lost the possibility of a comeback.

In the 76th minute, Croatia made another substitution.

Suker goes off and Simic comes on.

This is the signal for Croatia to start preparing to defend with all its strength.

At the same time, he also reserved the last substitution spot.

On the one hand, it is to prevent accidents.

On the other hand, it can continue to contain the German team.

In this game, since Croatia took the advantage in the first half, they have taken the initiative in terms of tactics, situation and substitutions.

"Suk was substituted!"

"In this European Cup, Suker scored three goals in two group matches. This is another goal score that exceeds the number of games. His crazy state continues."

"I believe that this Croatia will go further."

Su Ke came off the stage with applause from all the fans.

Tens of thousands of Croatian fans gave Suker the fiercest applause.

Even though they were rival fans when Suker played for Dinamo Zagreb, they also booed Suker.

But now, Suker is definitely a hero in Croatia!

Two games, three goals!

Suker's hot state is the absolute guarantee for Croatia's offense.

"come on!"

Suk high-fived Simic hard.

After returning to the bench, Suk sat down on the bench.

With a three-goal lead, it was extremely difficult for Germany to come back.

Germany also fought hard to counterattack, but Croatia solidly pushed away the opponent's attacks time and time again.

Until the 89th minute of the game, Ballack suddenly took a long shot from outside the penalty area.

This sudden attack did not surprise the Croatian players.

Croatian goalkeeper Pletikosa's vision was also blocked by Simunic and he was unable to react immediately.

When he wanted to save, the ball was already very close to the goal.

Ballack scored a goal and got a goal back.

But it was just a goal recovered.

After all, they were still two goals behind.

Next, Germany fell into the previous endless cycle.

Attack, take the ball, fight for the top, and then press hard.

Playing the game like this, time passes quickly.

When the whistle blew, the German players realized that the game was over.

During the 90 minutes of the game, Germany played very cramped.

Due to wrong tactics, lack of harmony within the team and a series of problems, they eventually lost to Croatia in the second round of the group stage.

If they were in their prime, there would still be a chance to be strong, but the German team's state this time is indeed too bad.

At the end of the game, the German players hurried back to the locker room.

They didn't even dare to face the fans.

Needless to say, the German fans are already furious!

I was looking forward to the game with high expectations, but I was stunned to be kicked 3:1 by the opponent. Who can bear this?

And this game was lost so completely.

Whenever there is a close match, they all regard it as a helpless defeat.

But the final reality told them that the German team played too poorly.
