All-around center

What is it like to play in the World Cup?

Modric felt a bit unreal, unlike any game he had played before.

The heavy sense of mission and the jersey with the Croatian national emblem are all telling him that he is fighting on behalf of 4 million people.

The ground was shaking, my ears hurt as if I was going deaf, and my feet felt so heavy that I couldn't move my legs.

Modric slapped his thigh so hard that it turned red, and then he dispelled the trance.

But he was still shaking nervously inside, and his hands were sweating and even trembling slightly.

Modric forced himself to calm down, he is the Croatian midfielder, he is the brain.

If he doesn't calm down, if he doesn't perform, then things are going to be really bad for them.

"Luka? Luka? Luka!!"

Modric woke up from his trance and turned his head suddenly.

"Are you calling me?"

Duimovich said suspiciously: "You're not nervous anymore, are you?"

Modric remained silent.

"What the hell?"

Duimovich was astonished.

damn it!

Modric is nervous. If he can't perform well, Croatia's midfielder will fall!

"Suke!!!——"

Duimovic pointed at Modric and said loudly: "Did Luka wet his pants nervously?"

"Who peed their pants?" Modric turned around and shouted angrily.

I saw Su Ke turn his head.

"ha?"

Su Ke ran back from the front court, raised his right hand high, and slammed it down!

Snapped! ! ! !

Modric grinned, his back aching.

"Does it hurt?"

Suk asked.

Modric nodded quickly.

Su Ke narrowed his eyes: "Remember this feeling, losing is ten thousand times more painful than this!"

"The same thing goes, if you don't know how to play, pass it to me."

After that, Suk turned and left.

Modric opened his mouth, looked at Suk's back, and breathed out slowly.

As a good friend, he always looked carefree, as if no matter how much pressure he had, he could not be crushed.

But because of this, Su Ke can get these honors, right?

Modric raised his hands and slapped hard!

Snapped!

Her cheeks were red and her voice was loud.

Duimovich grinned at the sight.

How painful is this!

But at this time, Modric's eyes became calm.

"I'm ready!"

Modric turned to look at Duimovic: "Tommy, pass the ball to me. I want to feel it first!"

"clear!"

In the other half, Boamé was also ready to make a move.

Especially when he looked at his friend across from him, his eyes were burning.

This is the first time they have been rivals in the arena.

Since Mostar Zlinjski, they have not been able to catch up with Suker and Modric.

Now that they meet again at the World Cup, they are not here just to reminisce about the past.

"Sterk, let's show them something awesome!"

Boamme shouted.

Sterk behind him also waved vigorously in response.

Suk Bazic stepped on the ball and stood in the middle.

His eyes were sharp.

He was once a Bosnian genius, and Suk couldn't even see the taillights of his car.

But now, the situation has reversed. Suker is already the top star in the world, and he is still playing in the Bosnian League.

Sukka Bazic knows that Suker is very strong, but football is not a one-man sport.

He firmly believes that their teamwork is better.

Dzeko, Pjanic and others also took deep breaths to adjust their condition.

The Italian referee looked left and right at the goalkeepers of both sides before starting to withdraw from the center circle.

He put his whistle to his lips and whistled loudly.

Beep! ! !

The sharp whistle sounded and the game began.

Croatian commentary box.

"The game begins! The game begins! This is the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the first game of Group B, Croatia versus Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the next 90 minutes, what kind of outstanding performance can the two teams bring to us? Come on, Croatian boys!"

Bosnia and Herzegovina commentary box.

"The game has started. We are the first to kick off. Facing Croatia, we must play more steadily. Don't be confused by their high-post press. Be steady! Be sure to be steady!"

"Especially when facing Suk, you must be calm!"

Spanish commentary desk.

"Croatia's first game, as one of the seed stadiums to win the World Cup, what kind of performance will Croatia show? Can Suker bring the league's status to the World Cup stage? Let us wait and see."

The game is being introduced in every dugout around the world.

Under fierce cheers, the Croatian players rushed into the opponent's half.

Press!

High press!

"Up up up up!!"

"Attack their defenses!"

"Following behind!"

"I am coming!!"

"Fuck them!"

The Croatian players screamed and rushed forward one by one.

The momentum of their attack was extremely violent. Although Bosnia and Herzegovina was prepared, they were still threatened by this impact and were still able to make big kicks in the backcourt.

"Pass it to your feet! To your feet!"

Pjanic jumped up in anger.

This big-footed long pass is not so much an offense, but it is no different from giving the ball to Croatia.

Sure enough, facing the landing point of the ball, when Boamé was about to catch the ball, Duimovic suddenly came out horizontally and pushed the ball to Suker.

"careful!!!--"

The moment Suker stopped the ball, the Bosnian players were facing a formidable enemy.

Sterk quickly approached Su Ke, lowered his center of gravity, and stared at Su Ke's feet.

Suker did not make any breakthrough gesture, but looked at the large number of defensive players behind him. He twisted and passed directly back to Modric.

"Take your time! Don't rush!"

After Su Ke finished speaking, he whispered: "Sterk, you are scared!"

"I'm not scared!"

"It's a cowardly puppy, bark twice!"

"Get out! Don't talk to me!"

"Why! I just want to talk."

"Please, can you stay away?"

Sterk said bitterly.

"Ouch!" Su Ke nodded: "I understand!"

Immediately, Suk ran behind Sterk.

"Come back here!"

Sterk quickly followed.

"What's wrong? Want to chat?" Suk turned around and said with a smile.

Sterk pursed his lips.

I really want to tear this guy's mouth apart.

I thought that after becoming famous, I would be more restrained in maintaining my identity.

But now I find that this guy is the same as before and has not changed at all!

While Su Ke interfered with Sterk with words, he was also observing the movement of his teammates.

Croatia did not rush to attack, but connected through Modric's passing, allowing every player to touch the ball and adjust the game state.

For them, who are participating in the World Cup for the first time, touching the ball more is very beneficial.

While touching the ball, Modric also looked up and looked ahead from time to time.

"It's time to put some pressure on me!"

Modric feels okay.

Modric caught the ball again and turned around, but this time, instead of playing the ball immediately, he turned his head and looked forward.

Modric and Suker looked at each other.

Before Sterk could figure out what was going on, Su Ke took a few steps back slightly, and then started to rush forward in a different direction.

"goodbye!"

When Su Ke passed by Sterk, he left this sentence.

Sterk also immediately turned around and ran after him with all his strength.

Not to mention, Sterk's speed was very fast and barely allowed Sukra to get out of the way.

Seeing that Su Ke couldn't close the distance, he slowed down slightly, stretched out his right foot and firmly stopped the ball.

At this time, as soon as Sterk arrived, Suk suddenly started again and started dribbling horizontally.

"Damn it!"

Sterk didn't even have time to breathe and immediately pursued him again.

But this time, he understood why Suk was so difficult to guard against.

With the extremely fast frequency of contact with the ball, there is no possibility of stealing the ball.

What's more, Su Ke is still very fast and has strong man-ball combination ability.

"Suker dribbled horizontally in the penalty area. We haven't seen Suker dribbling like this for a long time. This is what he did when he was playing in Serie A, but after joining La Liga, he stopped playing like this. .”

After Suker dribbled horizontally, he involved Bosnia and Herzegovina's defense.

But there was no room for a shot. Suker could only knock the ball to Rakitic in the right rib area.

Rakitic received the ball and immediately passed it to Perisic on the wing.

Perisic suddenly started and passed the ball directly.

Mandzukic jumped up suddenly, and the ball flew out of the baseline grazing his scalp.

"Mine! It wasn't passed properly!"

Perisic immediately raised his hand.

But Mandzukic also gave him a thumbs up and said he didn't mind.

Although Croatia failed to score in their first attack, Mandzukic touched the ball, which also shocked Bosnia and Herzegovina into a cold sweat.

"We can't let Su Ke dribble like this!"

Basoldach said, covering his heart.

When Suker dribbled horizontally, Bosnia and Herzegovina's defense was involved in some confusion.

I couldn't make it this time.

But after a few more times, who knows what the result will be!

So it’s a century-old problem.

How to limit sukkah?

"Croatia's high press forced us to play high-altitude balls, but this is exactly what we are good at!"

Basodachi watched as Pjanic finally received the ball and passed the ball long to Boamé on the right wing in front.

Boamé stopped the ball steadily, but the moment he stopped the ball, Srna immediately went diagonally in front of him.

"So fast!"

Boamé couldn't help but sigh, this may be the rhythm of the five major leagues.

Srna's positioning was in sync with his stoppage, giving him no time to prepare.

After Srna got close, he immediately started to put pressure.

Boamé reached out and pushed Srna while trying to overtake from the outside, at the moment he was about to start.

Srna pounced forward again, this time the press was particularly tough. Under the fierce confrontation, Boamé was a little unsteady on his feet.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Srna stretched out his foot and poked him.

boom!

The ball hit Boamé's feet and flew out of the sideline.

"Wonderful! Srna restricted Boamé alone on the wing and won the ball back."

Krauszovich said excitedly: "This is the ability of Inter Milan's main left back!"

Srna wiped his sweat and asked the caddy for the ball.

He doesn't rush to throw the ball, but directs his teammates to step forward and catch the ball.

Finally, he threw the ball to Modric, who unloaded the ball with his chest and passed it directly back to the central defender.

After Simunic received the ball, he sent it forward directly.

boom!

Dzeko suddenly made a sliding tackle and shoveled the ball out of the baseline.

"Hit the ball high! It's too dangerous!"

Srna yelled.

Simunic was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and promised; "Find the state, find the state, and you will definitely hit the high ball next time!"

Croatia's offensive was not that intense, it was still gradual and looking for flaws.

On the other hand, Bosnia and Herzegovina's counterattack was more determined.

On the left wing of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Boamé was watched to death by Srna.

"Boamé's technical ability has made great progress." Van Steyak said with a smile on his face.

The former disciple appeared on the World Cup stage, and he was still a disciple who received no attention. After all, he also put in a lot of effort.

However, Boamé failed to jump out of the Bosnia and Herzegovina League stage.

Faced with restrictions from the five major leagues and even the main full-backs of the Champions League champions, he can only be locked up.

Bosnia and Herzegovina was unable to open up the situation on the left side, and in the end, they had no choice but to change sides.

"Dzeko!"

Pjanic roared and passed the ball directly.

Dzeko raised his head to judge where the ball would land, and suddenly there was the sound of fierce footsteps in his ears.

Before he could make a judgment, a figure suddenly jumped up and tipped the ball in the air to Planic behind him.

"Well done! Suk!"

Planic praised Suk.

Suk also immediately ran back to his position.

"This is the style of Croatia! They will not be limited to the front and only attack. The midfielders will only pass the ball, and the defenders will only defend these boundaries. Many times, these players will appear in some unexpected positions, like this The same thing every time, as a winger, Su Ke will drop back to participate in the battle for the top!"

Basoldach feels very tricky.

Both wingers are a bit unable to play!

"Corner kicks and set pieces are all fine, make more of them!"

As soon as Pjanic finished shouting in Bosnian, Suker turned his head and shouted: "They want corner kicks and set kicks, be careful!"

"Fuck you!"

Sterk was so angry that he cursed.

Suk spread his hands and shrugged; "He shouted so loudly, I heard him!"

The time came to 20 minutes unknowingly, and the overall rhythm was still a bit slow.

Many people are curious about how Croatian style suddenly became so mild.

But there are also some knowledgeable fans who understand that Croatia is still looking for form.

After all, this is the first World Cup. They cannot rush and play hard. They have to be the first to ensure their condition and then suddenly start to exert their strength.

Think of this as a process of accumulating energy.

In the 21st minute, Bosnia and Herzegovina finally got a corner kick opportunity.

Suk Bazic was very excited.

His chance to perform came.

"Dzeko, run forward and help me distract Simunic."

Suk Bazic said towards Dzeko.

Dzeko nodded immediately.

In terms of corner kicks, Suk Bazwicz is the absolute core.

Boamé stood at the corner, his eyes always on Suk Bazic.

The moment he raised his hand, Dzeko suddenly started and rushed towards the front point.

Simunic was disturbed and subconsciously followed a few steps.

At this time, Boamé suddenly made a free throw.

"It worked!"

Suk Bazqi was overjoyed.

Just when he was about to take off, there was a sudden sound of stepping on the ground beside him.

The next second, a figure suddenly jumped up.

Suk Bazic has a height of 195 centimeters. He is a proper high center forward.

Heading is also a skill for which he is famous.

Many times, he overlooks the opponent's defensive players and scores goals under their desperate eyes.

But this time, it was himself who raised his head.

In front of him is a figure wearing a white and red checkered No. 9 jersey.

This guy can jump really high!

Suk is like a soaring falcon in the sky.

His body was fully stretched and his eyes were fixed on the ball.

Seven years ago!

Mostar Zlinijski vs Sarajevo.

When Suker, who was only 160 centimeters tall at the time, was fighting in the air, he could only look up and watch Suker Bazic hit his own goal again and again, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Seven years later.

Suk is already nearly 185 centimeters tall!

"Look at me dunking on your head!"

Su Ke suddenly shook his head and cleared the ball.

After landing, Su Ke put one hand on the ground, started suddenly, and shouted:

"Fight back!——"

In an instant, the Croatian players turned around and started sprinting.

Suker, Rakitic, Mandzukic, Srna and Perisic were all charging forward.

The white shirt fluttered in the wind.

Their charge was so decisive and so brazen.

Almost everyone was rushing forward.

"Here it comes! Croatia's counterattack!"

Bosnia and Herzegovina's commentator Basodachi had a look of horror in his eyes. He looked at the white waves that were set off during the counterattack, which was completely breathless!

"Go, go, go!"

"Come on! Charge!"

Both Van Stryak and Bilic were shouting excitedly.

This is the Croatian style.

Crazy counterattack!

One or two, you can hold on.

Then we will invest more counterattack force.

Look!

The full-backs rushed forward!

"pass it to me!"

Srna yelled.

Modric immediately handed the ball to Srna.

Srna didn't stop the ball at all and pushed it towards Mandzukic diagonally in front.

Mandzukic paused, which also caused the two central defenders of Bosnia and Herzegovina to stop.

But at this time, Mandzukic suddenly moved the ball towards the penalty area.

Uh-huh! ! !

Suker penetrated and caught the ball with absolute force.

At this moment, the entire Ellis Park stadium was filled with Croatian fans.

The commentator Krausiewicz also stood up suddenly and shouted excitedly;

"Suke!! One-on-one!!"

Su Ke looked up at the goal, and the frightened performance of the opponent's goalkeeper could be seen in his eyes.

Suk turned sideways slightly and swept his left foot.

With this rub shot, the ball bypassed the goalkeeper and accurately entered the side net in the far corner.

In the 26th minute, Croatia relied on a counterattack opportunity and Suker scored the leading goal.

"Goal!!!!!!!!!——"

"Suker!!! He ushered in his first goal in the World Cup. Faced with the opportunity, Suker truly grasped it. This is 40+ goals in a single season. This is the deterrent power of La Liga + Champions League Golden Boot. !”

“Of course, what shocked us the most was Croatia’s attitude during the counterattack!”

"A full six players were charging crazily towards the opponent's half. Faced with this crazy momentum, Bosnia and Herzegovina was completely shocked. The boys' passing choices were also very exciting!"

"In the first 20 minutes, the boys settled down to find their form, and the moment they decided to counterattack, it was like an erupting volcano!"

"This is how Croatian youth play!"

"This is another golden era for Croatia after Davor Suker!"
