All-around center

"Capello's hit was Simunic!"

boom!

Vansteyak's whole body was shaken, and his mind went blank.

Throughout the first half, England stared at Simunic and attacked fiercely in order to consume Simunic's physical energy.

At that time, Van Stryak thought the English were stunned and stared at their high school defenders fighting for the top spot.

But now it seems that this was Capello's deliberate arrangement.

The purpose is to allow Croatia to substitute Simunic at the substitution point in the second half.

Croatia lost a high school defender, thus losing part of its high-altitude combat capability.

England used this time period to decisively use up their last remaining substitution spot.

‘Tall guy’.

A high center forward with a height of two meters.

This is absolutely a devastating blow to Croatia.

Kovac lacks height.

Krissanacci's height is only 181 centimeters.

How can such a central defender combination resist the three-way pressure from Rooney, Gerrard and Crouch?

Capello made the most appropriate substitution at the most appropriate time.

He put the weight of victory on Crouch.

boom!

Uh-huh!

The sound of fierce confrontation and the sound of the ball hitting the net.

Vansteyak turned to look over.

The ball has entered the Croatian goal and is beating up and down.

In the 64th minute, England recovered a goal again.

They equalized the score.

Van Steyak murmured: "Damn it! It's been calculated!"

boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

The whole Wembley Stadium erupted.

Tens of thousands of England fans stood up from their seats and roared with excitement.

The disadvantage in the first half made them feel worried, but the tenacious Three Lions warriors used a wonderful performance to equalize the score.

At a moment when he was almost pushed into the abyss, Capello turned the situation around with a magical substitution.

At this moment, England fans were simply going crazy with joy.

"Crouch!!"

"Headed the ball and scored! He didn't even jump very high, but he used his height advantage to get the goal back."

"Oh my god! Capello's substitution was so good. In a bad environment, Simunic's dismissal became a signal for England to switch from defense to offense. Croatia lost its high school defender, but we still have high school defenders. Center!"

"This game was really great!"

the England commentator shouted excitedly.

In the field, the England players also ran and celebrated excitedly.

On the edge of the cliff, they turned the tide and recovered the score. There is nothing better than this.

In the Croatian coaching bench, Bilic looked anxiously at the court.

"Don't let Crouch hit the goal again. If we keep playing like this, we will definitely lose!"

"Rooney! Limit Rooney! And Beckham!"

"Van Steyak, think of a way!"

Bilic turned his head and looked over, and saw Van Stryak kneeling on one knee, putting his notebook on his lap, and writing furiously.

His eyes were bloodshot and he was obviously under great pressure.

"How to restrict? How to restrict Crouch?"

"High school guard? No, we don't have the right candidate."

Snapped!

Vansteyak slapped his head hard, his brain was running at high speed, and he kept mumbling.

After a while, Van Stryak stood up suddenly.

His expression was somewhat ferocious.

"Since you can't restrict it directly, then restrict it indirectly!"

"What do you mean?" Bilic asked.

Van Steyak: "We can't restrict Crouch, we don't have a high school defender, so we have to restrict their passing points, Rooney and Beckham!"

Bilic blinked and said in shock: "Are you crazy?"

Restricting Crouch is the best way.

As for Rooney and Beckham.

The latter is easier to say, but the former.

Lu Xiaopang's impact was not that strong at all.

"Yes! We can definitely try!" Van Steyak rubbed the few remaining hairs on his head irritably: "Let Srna and Planic change positions, and at the same time let Suker and Rakitic change positions. We have to retreat more to assist in defense. Now there are no tactics or routines anymore. What we are fighting for is hard power!"

"Kill them!"

Vansteyak gritted his teeth and said angrily.

In the 64th minute, Croatia made the final substitution.

Kranica comes off and Duimovic comes on.

After Duimovic came on the field, he began to convey Van Steyak's tactical intentions to his teammates.

Srna and Planic also looked at each other, and the two began to change positions.

The Croatian players felt a little heavy in their hearts.

After all, they felt uncomfortable being beaten twice by their opponents.

But at the same time, they also understand that they must cheer up.

Suk took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Now, both sides have made their cards clear!

All substitutions and all tactical arrangements have become invalid.

The kick is a head-to-head confrontation, and the confrontation is a hard force.

Su Ke brought up the system panel and used the status recovery card.

A cool feeling spread throughout my body.

Since his last injury, Suk has begun to use the status recovery card less frequently.

This is also to avoid the same accident as last time.

But now, Suk felt it was time.

Not needed now, wait until later!

At the same time, Srna's eyes were staring at the opposite side.

His eyes were on Rooney.

At Inter Milan's training base, he received intensive training from Mourinho.

The whole training process is very difficult, but the rewards are also great.

Especially after receiving defensive guidance from Mourinho and receiving defensive technical teachings from Zanetti, Maicon and others, Srna felt that he had made great progress.

And now, he wants to confront Rooney head-on.

Whether he can successfully limit Rooney is crucial.

Once he can limit it, Suker will not have to retreat, and Croatia's counterattack will be smoother.

Phew~~~~

Sirna exhaled slowly and clapped his hands together!

"Come on horseback!"

After Croatia lost the ball, they began to try to open up the defense one after another.

England played unhurriedly. After all, they could also win if they got a draw.

But Rooney obviously doesn't think so.

In this game, he was not happy enough and did not score a single goal.

For this reason, he wanted to perform better and even score goals, so he continued to attack from the wing.

Beckham's passing can deliver cannonballs to him.

Rooney ran a few steps forward to receive the ball from Beckham, but the moment he stopped the ball, someone slammed into him.

Rooney made some panicked adjustments at his feet and immediately stepped forward to get the ball, trying to get rid of it.

But after he ran a few steps, he found that he couldn't get away and the other party was still clinging to him.

Rooney looked up and saw Srna's eyes staring at the ball at his feet like greedy wolves.

Rooney frowned slightly and tentatively stepped forward to play the ball.

Srna remained indifferent and adjusted his feet slightly, but did not make any move.

Rooney's upper body shook, pretending to break through toward the baseline, but the next second, his body suddenly came back, trying to go inside.

But Srna took a sudden step across, suddenly stretched out his foot, and poked the ball out.

"Srna!! Stealed!!"

Seeing Srna poke the ball, Suker immediately retreated and transferred the ball to Modric.

"Srna! Awesome!"

Suk roared loudly.

Srna was also extremely excited: "Up, up, up! Kill England!"

Srna defended Rooney alone on the wing, which caused Croatia to immediately launch a counterattack.

Modric tipped the ball to Mandzukic.

Mandzukic took the initiative to retreat and distributed the ball to the left wing.

Su Ke held the ball and began to advance at high speed.

The entire England defense also retreated rapidly.

Suk swayed his right foot above the ball, making a bicycle-stepping motion to test the opponent's center.

The opponent was indifferent.

Su Ke suddenly stopped, turned sideways and passed the ball toward the center outside the penalty area.

Duimovic actually hit the target with a slap on the horse, raised his right foot and volleyed fiercely.

The ball showed an outward arc and flew out of the baseline close to the goal post.

"Almost!"

Duimovich cried out that it was a pity.

"Try the feeling with the first kick." Duimovich quickly explained to Su Ke.

Su Ke nodded and gave a thumbs up; "Well played!"

Duimovich was stunned.

This compliment caught him off guard and made him feel a little uneasy.

"Come on guys! Show your fighting spirit and win this game!"

shouted Croatian commentator Krausiewicz nervously.

As the game progresses, I can see that he is anxious in his heart.

He was extremely excited about taking the lead in the first half, but he felt very bad when England pulled two goals in a row.

In today's situation, Croatia needs to stabilize the situation.

But these guys obviously have no such intention.

Facing the opponent's counterattack, Croatia plans to fight back in a more fierce way!

Just as Rooney was about to start along the wing, Srna suddenly made a cross, squeezing Rooney behind him and controlling the ball at the same time.

Srna turned to look at his central defender teammate, and Rooney stepped inside.

At this time, Srna turned his instep outward and turned directly from the outside to get rid of Rooney.

"Oh~~Sirna! It's Sirna again!"

After Srna got rid of the ball, he did not pass the ball, but dribbled forward at high speed.

Suk just stood there and did not go up to respond. This action gave Milner a very headache.

If Suker improves his position, he can run over to meet his teammates and surround Srna together.

But now, Suk just stood there, which gave him a huge headache.

Srna has already begun to attack the defense.

At this moment, Su Ke started slowly and ran towards the rib area.

Srna saw Suker running over and pretended to pass the ball. Milner took advantage of the situation and kicked it horizontally to cut off the passing line.

Even England full-back Glen Johnson made the same move.

Srna suddenly dunked his foot and went directly to the baseline.

"Sirna has broken through!"

Facing a small angle, Srna swept the ball into the small penalty area.

Suddenly, the penalty area was in chaos.

Mandzukic wanted to tackle, but was pushed by Terry and failed to touch the ball. Rakitic reached behind and successfully touched the ball, but was used by Ashley Cole at the goal line. He pushed the ball out with his chest.

The ball fell back towards the penalty area again.

"Relief!"

England goalkeeper Green shouted.

But Su Ke suddenly appeared there.

Suker pushed the ball with his chest. The moment Terry stretched out his foot, Suker took the lead in raising his foot and pushed the ball to Terry's right side with his instep.

At the same time, Su Ke made a slight adjustment with his feet and volleyed directly against the falling ball.

England goalkeeper Green fell down and he was sure to save the ball.

But by chance, the ball hit Upson's leg, refracted, and flew into the goal on the opposite side of Green's save.

In the 77th minute, Croatia scored with an excellent counterattack.

"Goal!!! Suk!!!"

"After England pulled two goals in a row, Croatia once again showed a wonderful attack. Suker's calm choice in front of the goal gave Croatia the lead again."

"England 2:3 Croatia, we once again took the lead in the away game. England are destined to be defeated. When facing the Croatian boys and Suker, they have no way!"

Shh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~! ! !

The scene was filled with boos.

But the smile on Suk's face was extremely bright.

Suker ran to the front of the stands of Croatia's away fans. He pointed at himself with a finger, his face full of confidence.

Croatian fans could no longer contain their excitement.

Their hearts were filled with frustration when they were beaten twice by England.

But Suker's goal brought them new hope.

Besides, this goal is awesome!

"Wow~~cough cough"

Anne Hathaway shouted subconsciously, but she quickly suppressed it and looked around carefully.

Fortunately, the England fans were staring blankly at the court and did not notice her unusual movements.

"awesome!"

Anne Hathaway patted her chest and laughed: "I thought I was going to lose."

Amanda lamented: "This was a wonderful game, but Suker's performance was really outstanding. I was staring at him the whole time. Even if he didn't hold the ball, I always thought he could score. "

"That's right! That's right!" Anne Hathaway whispered like an excited lark: "That's what I thought too. Our idea is indeed right."

Her eyes turned to the court.

The stadium, which was noisy before, has become particularly quiet now.

The clamoring England fans seemed to have been drained of their strength, and each one became very frustrated.

With two goals, Suker responded in the most powerful way to these fragrant English fans.

Anne Hathaway's eyes flashed slightly.

"Amanda, I think it's time for me to cheer up and not be afraid of public opinion, but to fight bravely."

Amanda raised her eyebrows and smiled; "This is really good news. It seems that it is right for us to come to watch this game."

"Yes!" Anne Hathaway nodded; "This is a game that can give people strength!"

"Sirna is awesome!"

"Captain is awesome!"

Suk took the lead and kept shouting.

Srna said with a smile; "Going to score is the captain, right?"

Suk laughed and patted Srna on the shoulder.

"If you behave like this every time, I can call you boss."

Srna also smiled happily.

As they passed the England dugout together, Srna turned to look at Capello, who looked back at Srna.

Srna quietly raised his middle finger.

FXXK You!

Capello narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt a little regretful about losing the ball, but he didn't feel anything when faced with Srna's provocation.

Even if he goes back to the past, he will make the same choice.

Srna did not buy Juventus, but the sports director forced it into his hands. It is his business whether to use it or not.

However, Capello also needs to admit that Srna is growing rapidly.

In this game, Srna showed many wonderful offensive performances.

On the defensive end, he also interfered with Rooney many times and was even able to freeze Rooney alone in the second half.

Capello took off his glasses, wiped them with a glasses cloth and put them back on.

Currently, England is 2:3 behind Croatia, but there is still a chance.

In the 81st minute, Rakitic and Vukojevic double-teamed Beckham.

Rakitic knocked Beckham down roughly and got the ball.

The referee did not blow the whistle, which was not a foul.

Rakitic immediately pushed the ball towards the middle, and Modric ran directly out of the half court and quickly attacked the opponent's back line.

At the same time, Suk and Mandzukic are also speeding up.

Suk kept his feet at a constant speed, waiting for the opportunity.

When Modric pushed the ball towards the opponent's rib area, Suker's feet accelerated sharply.

Suk's starting speed was too fast. In just two steps, he left Glen Johnson behind and squeezed in.

Glen Johnson stretched out his hand to pull the man, and Suk's speed stopped, but the frequency of the former's feet was also disordered.

When the two speeded up again, Johnson could only eat Suk's exhaust.

Da da da da da da! !

Su Ke quickly rushed into the penalty area and took the lead in reaching the ball.

Terry followed.

Facing the rolling ball, Su Ke pretended to shoot, and Terry immediately stretched out his left foot.

But Su Ke moved his feet and turned sideways to open his position again.

Terry had one hand left, so his center of gravity was not shaken and he could immediately turn around and block. However, Su Ke also had one hand left.

I saw Suk stepping towards the ball again, and this time Terry couldn't keep up.

"Upson!"

Terry yelled, asking for help from his teammates.

But Su Ke moved one step faster, twisted his waist and volleyed, aiming directly at the blind spot close to the goal.

Uh-huh!

In the 87th minute, Croatia scored again.

England 2:4 Croatia!

At this moment, the English fans in the entire Wembley Stadium were completely silent, and only a small number of Croatian fans were celebrating wildly.

"The winning goal! It's definitely the winning goal!"

"Suker hat trick!!"

"England won't stand a chance! We won't give them any chance!"

"Come on! Boys, kill them!"

Kraussiewicz became excited again.

At the same time, at the coaching bench, Van Steyak roared towards the court.

"Up, up, up! Keep going! Don't hold back, beat him to death!"

damn it!

He calculated that he must let out his bad breath.

However, there is not much game time left.

In the last few minutes, Croatia was still attacking, but time was limited, so they failed to score again.

In the end, England lost to Croatia 2:4 at home in the World Cup qualifiers.

They defeated Croatia 3:2 away from home in the previous round.

And when Croatia returned in its heyday, they came to Wembley Stadium and gave them a head-on blow!

Two rounds, total score.

Croatia 6:5 England!

Croatia jumped to first place in the group.

Although the points are the same, the outcome is the same, but Croatia has more away goals to take the lead.
