All-around center

"Croatia made substitutions in the 50th minute. Facing Argentina's substitution adjustments, Croatia was the fastest to respond."

"Bilic sent Mandzukic and Duimovic and made certain adjustments on both offense and defense."

When the Argentine commentator said this, his tone was a little helpless.

Already lagging behind, Croatia carried out some targeted defense.

Argentina's tactic is to hand the ball to Messi, but Messi cannot get past the two lines of defense in Croatia's midfield and backfield alone. Moreover, Croatia's targeted defense against Messi has never stopped since the opening.

With unreasonable tactics, Argentina's situation became even worse.

On the other hand, after Croatia completes the adjustment, their fault tolerance rate will be greatly improved, and at the same time, they can further improve their impact ability in the penalty area.

"Leave it to me next!"

Mandzukic stretched out his hand with excitement.

Suk swatted it hard.

"Kill them!"

For the entire 50 minutes, Suker had thrown Argentina's defense into chaos and consumed a lot of energy.

Maradona pursued too much perfection and wanted to use offense to achieve a quick victory.

But Croatia also responded quickly. Under the current circumstances, there is a lot of room for Mandzukic to play.

When the game started again, Argentina's offense became more impatient.

That’s right!

Just impatient!

They know very well that if they play a protracted war with Croatia, it seems almost impossible.

These Croatian ‘mules’ can drag them to death!

To do this, they need a more intense attack.

forward! forward.

Keep moving forward!

"Tuck it over here!"

Higuain suddenly stepped sideways, held Srna behind him, lowered his waist and sat on his horse, preparing to carry Srna to complete the ball.

In response, Srna also pushed hard.

When Messi gave the ball to Higuain, Srna suddenly gave a fierce confrontation. At the same time, he stretched out his leg from Higuain's crotch and poked the ball out.

The ball just hit Modric.

"Srna! Another excellent steal! When Higuain faced Srna alone, he could hardly get any benefits."

Modric caught the ball and turned around. He looked at Mandzukic in front of him from a distance, but the distance was too far. At the same time, Mandzukic did not have Suker's personal ability.

So he stuffed the ball to the left midfield line.

There, Suk had pulled into a neutral position.

"pretty!"

Su Ke did not stop the ball on the spot, but moved it forward and then quickly started.

After seeing Suker's start, Argentina defender Demichelis quickly retreated.

With Su Ke's powerful explosive power, he needs to keep a certain distance from Su Ke.

Seeing Demichelis retreating, Suk was naturally happy, and he pushed forward towards the rib area.

From the wing position, Srna also followed up.

"Spare the ball!"

Srna shouted.

Su Ke immediately passed the ball.

At this time, Demichelis could no longer sit still and wait for death. He could only run to get close to Srna.

Srna also passed the ball back to Su Ke again at this time.

Suker caught the ball near the sharp corner of the penalty area. He did not stop the ball, but pulled the ball and turned around, just in time to bypass Messi who was retreating to press.

Messi refused to accept it and pursued again.

Su Ke did not stick to the ball, but distributed the ball laterally again.

Modric moved forward appropriately and pretended to shoot, but he repeated his old trick and passed the ball into the penalty area again.

Mandzukic saw his chance and jumped to his feet.

It is difficult for Argentinian defender Burdisso next to him to interfere with him.

Mandzukic shook his head in the air and hit the goal.

boom!

"Mandzukic! Header! This ball."

Snapped!

Argentinian goalkeeper Romero saved the ball dangerously from the bottom line.

"Romero saved the ball and reacted quickly this time, but Croatia's offense is not over yet. This is Croatia's fourth corner kick in this game!"

The Argentine players are facing a formidable enemy.

"Be defensive! Watch your position!"

Burdisot commanded loudly.

At this moment, he saw Suker, Mandzukic and Simunic all entering his penalty area.

Croatia dispatched the most powerful air combat force.

"Damn it!"

Burdisso was a little panicked.

He couldn't guarantee that he could still control the first landing point under the confrontation of these three guys.

But even so, he still had to grit his teeth.

boom!

Modric took the ball out without hesitation.

Suker immediately ran towards the front point. This action naturally attracted the attention of the Argentine players.

Burdisso also subconsciously took a step forward, and then quickly retreated.

"Not Suk! Middle! Middle!"

Burdisso is still very experienced and he knows that Suk is the bait.

Sure enough, Simunic has already rushed to the center position.

"Watch him!"

Burdisso yelled.

Burdisso and Demikalic locked Simunic in the middle.

But just when they were about to take off, they saw that the ball did not have any falling area. The corner ball was very long and flew towards the back point.

Burdisso was shocked. He quickly turned around and shouted: "Back up! Watch Man."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Mandzukic already at the back point, completing his takeoff with almost no one to defend him.

Mandzukic's body was very stretched in the air, and he hit the ball with a headbutt!

The ball hit the ground and bounced into the goal from the near corner.

In the 61st minute, Croatia scored another goal from a corner kick and once again opened the score.

Croatia 3:1 Argentina!

"Mario Mandzukic! Wonderful substitution adjustment. This substitution once again brought a goal to Croatia!"

"Argentina's defense suffered a fierce attack from Suker in the first half. Maradona made a desperate move to increase the offense, which also prevented the defense from being replenished. This shortcoming was very thoroughly demonstrated in this corner kick. The three defenders The tactics made the already weak defense even weaker."

"Of course, Croatia's movement was also very exciting. Suker took the lead to run forward and attract attention, and then Simunic once again shook the thinking of the Argentine defenders. In the end, Mandzukic scored the goal. Expand the score again! The Croatian boys have very clear ideas, whether it is the overall game or small tactical routines, they use them perfectly."

Klawsiewicz was already smiling from ear to ear.

"Like this, Argentina will suffer further damage. Maybe their 2010 World Cup journey will come to an end here."

When the Argentine commentator saw this goal, his heart was equally heavy.

He said in a sad tone: "There is a problem with our tactics. We attach too much importance to offense and overly ignore the importance of defense. Our playing style is too idealistic. Maybe we still need some time to improve." Adjustments will be made, but the World Cup will no longer allow us to do so."

"Maybe. Argentina is really going to leave the World Cup!"

All the Argentinian fans in the audience also covered their mouths.

They didn't leave.

Their eyes were filled with tears and pain.

But it also revealed a faint light of hope.

Perhaps, they are still hoping that Maradona or Messi can lead them out of the predicament again.

But it all came to an end in the 72nd minute.

It was another Croatian counterattack. After completing the steal, Simunic immediately looked up to observe Suker's position, and then kicked the ball directly to complete the counterattack.

The landing of this long ball was not good, and it was closer to Argentinian defender Demichelis.

But Su Ke used his crazy speed and explosive power to close this gap.

Especially Demichelis was hesitant. Su Ke rushed too hard. He was so shocked by the sprinting posture that he couldn't let go.

In this case, any hesitation will lead to misfortune.

Just like this time, Suk was at a greater distance, and the two of them rushed to the landing point at the same time.

But Suker's shot was faster and he stopped the ball behind Demichelis. At the same time, he accelerated his feet again and wiped it directly.

When Demichelis was chasing after him, he fell due to excessive panic and completely lost hope of chasing back.

Suker, on the other hand, rushed into the penalty area, faced Burdisso's interference, moved his foot horizontally in disguise, and made an arc with his right foot, approaching the blind corner.

Uh-huh!

The ball bypassed the goalkeeper's fingers and penetrated into the goal.

Croatia scored again to lead Argentina 4:1.

With this goal, the game was completely over.

It was difficult for Argentina to continue, and the score was reversed in less than 20 minutes.

What's more, they have used two substitutions and only have one substitution left.

Suker's goal also completely dispelled the last glimmer of hope in the eyes of Argentine fans.

From a glimmer of hope to a cry of despair.

His fighting spirit was high before the game, but now his face is full of helplessness and pain.

No one thought that the powerful South American team, the Pampas Eagles, would end up in such a situation.

But it is undeniable that Argentina is about to leave the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

At the 88th minute, Croatia's last substitution was Suker.

Youngster Lovren makes his World Cup debut.

"come on!"

Suk slapped Lovren hard on the shoulder.

It was Lovren's first time participating in the World Cup and he was obviously very nervous.

Suk kicked him in the ass again.

"Don't tremble and kick hard!"

Lovren grinned, then took a deep breath and entered the court.

"Suker is off the field, which also means that Croatia will enter a comprehensive defensive mode. This is not good news for Argentina. After all, in the remaining minutes, it is difficult for them to lead the score!"

The camera shows a close-up of Suk.

I saw Su Ke sitting on the bench with his back stretched out, an unstoppable smile on his face.

Seeing this scene, Krausiewicz couldn't help laughing.

"Suker is very satisfied with his performance. In the three rounds of the World Cup group stage, Suker scored five goals and is now far ahead of the scorer list!"

"Suker brought his outstanding form into the World Cup, and it was also the first time he showed his terrifying scoring efficiency in front of fans around the world."

"The most important thing is that this is Suker's first time participating in the World Cup, and it is amazing that he can still perform like this!"

"Based on Suker's outstanding performance, Croatia is about to win three games and successfully advance to the World Cup knockout rounds."

In the arena, the game continues,

Argentina launched desperate attacks again and again.

In the last few minutes, although the possibility of reversal was lost, based on professional ethics, they were still working hard to attack.

However, their offense has no confidence!

After all, even they didn't think they could reverse the score.

And in this case, time also passes quickly.

3 minutes of injury time!

Croatia still maintained its leading position and did not give Argentina any chance to score.

At the last moment of the game, Messi launched a breakthrough and passed two people in succession. However, before breaking into the penalty area, he was brought down by Duimovic and Modric.

Duimovic stepped forward directly.

The ball flew high in the air, and at the same time, three sharp whistles sounded.

The whole game is over!

Croatia defeated Argentina 4:1.

They entered the World Cup knockout rounds with three wins in all three games.

"The group stage is over, and we entered the knockout rounds with three wins. It was really three wonderful games. The Croatian boys still showed us wonderful games in the group stage."

"First battle against Bosnia and Herzegovina, massacre South Korea, eliminate Argentina!"

"After each game, the Croatian boys used their superb skills to win the game beautifully!"

"After Uruguay and Mexico, Croatia has become the third team to reach the knockout rounds of the World Cup!"

Kraussiewicz cheered loudly.

The Croatian fans in the audience were also excited.

In the stadium, Croatian players also ran wildly and celebrated each other.

This is their first World Cup. They have reached the knockout rounds of the World Cup only once and have an outstanding record of winning three games. This also makes them widely anticipated by fans around the world.

Compared to the excited Croatians, the Argentinian fans left the field lonely one by one.

The World Cup that belongs to them is over, and the summer of 2010 that belongs to them is also over.

The Argentine commentator endured the pain in his heart and gritted his teeth and said:

"The game is over. Based on another game, Bosnia and Herzegovina defeated South Korea 1:0. We were eliminated from the group stage and are about to leave the World Cup stage."

"From the moment the group stage started, our state has not been adjusted, and the process was too long. Maybe this is also the reason why we were eliminated!"

"This is an established fact that cannot be changed. We can only accept it."

“But because of such an experience, we have made adjustments based on this. I hope the Argentine boys will remember this lesson, and I also hope that we can perform even better in the next World Cup and Copa America. "

"Put aside the ostentatious coat and return to the iron-blooded and steady essence."

The Argentine commentator let out a long sigh: "It's time to say goodbye to South Africa."

In the stadium, many Argentine players were already crying.

For example, Di Maria, Higuain and so on.

Suker ignored Higuain, but still walked towards Di Maria.

The two hugged each other gently. At this time, he couldn't say any words of comfort. After all, he was the one who made people cry.

But looking at the backs of the Argentine players leaving lonely, Su Ke felt extremely heavy in his heart.

When they arrived, they were greeted with flowers and applause.

And when they walked away as losers, there wasn't even a scene.

There is no better way to win a king than to lose a bandit!

Breathe~~~~breathe~~~~

Suk took a deep breath.

He quickly adjusted his inner emotions.

Argentina's World Cup is over.

But the World Cup for Croatia has just begun.

The group stage is over, but the more brutal and intense knockout rounds are coming.

In the next few days, each major group will also conclude one after another, and eventually sixteen teams will be determined to form the top sixteen of the knockout round.

So far, only Uruguay, Mexico, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina have successfully qualified.

In the next few days, other groups will also end the World Cup in succession.

The bus back to the hotel was extremely quiet.

They were also extremely excited after qualifying from the group stage.

But looking at Argentina's departure, these Croatian players also felt heavy in their hearts.

Thinking from another perspective, I originally planned to show my ambitions in the World Cup.

But they didn't even qualify for the group stage. They played three games in three weeks, then lost the game and left the World Cup.

When the Argentine players left, the lonely figures on their backs were still etched in their minds.

Even someone as strong as Messi had almost no shots at that moment.

All of this reminds them not to become a background for others and to put in 120,000 efforts to fight for every game.

"Unexpectedly, we really killed Argentina!"

Modric said with emotion.

Su Ke stretched his waist: "What? Do you still sympathize with them?"

Modric rolled his eyes: "I just feel a little heavy inside. The World Cup is too cruel!"

Su Ke: "Isn't it the same for the European Cup?"

"It feels different. After all, the European Cup is a regional event, but the World Cup belongs to the whole world!" Modric breathed out; "How far can we go?"

"Who knows!"

Su Ke shrugged: "Starting from the knockout rounds, strength is one aspect, and state, performance and even luck are also another aspect. If you want to stand on top of the world and win the Hercules Cup, all of these are indispensable."

"I feel like we are very lucky!"

"Let's look at the next draw. Anyway, we are first in the group, so we can't draw any bad draws."

As long as the original time and space is followed, players from Brazil, Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands do not need to appear second in the group. No matter how lucky they are, they can still easily cope with the knockout rounds.

At the same time, Suk felt that it was time to invest some attribute points in himself.

After entering the knockout round, there are almost always strong conversations, and he needs stronger impact.

It just so happened that in the three group matches, he had produced a total of eight attribute cards. It was time to arm himself.
