All-around center

"Want to use up our physical energy?"

Modric saw the trend of the game and immediately understood Spain's intentions.

"Go up! Grab it!"

Without saying a word, Modric immediately directed the players to launch a more intense press.

At this moment, the so-called sports virtues have disappeared.

Some are just pure desire to win.

A victory, a ticket to the finals, this is more important than anything else.

Put pressure on!

Keep the pressure on!

Spain wants to control the ball and slow down the tempo.

Croatia wanted to press, wanted to increase the tempo.

In such a contradictory tactical confrontation, only one side can carry it out.

"Fuck him!"

Su Ke rushed over and knocked Harvey down with the ball.

After Harvey was hit, his anger boiled up.

He wanted to find Su Ke to reason.

"Hey! Calm down and don't be provoked by him!"

Iniesta quickly hugged Xavi.

At this time, if you argue with Su Ke, it is easy to have a verbal conflict, and your heart will definitely be more angry. By then, let alone being normal, you will have no choice but to confront Croatia.

Harvey pursed his lips, shook his arms vigorously, and turned away.

Suk couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.

How damn can I bear it!

After Spain kicked off again, Croatia still maintained a high-intensity and highly mobile press and confrontation.

Spanish players were constantly being bumped into and fouled by Croatian players!

Once or twice may be enough, but after a few more times, it will be difficult for the Spanish players to suppress their inner anger.

Sure enough, the next second, Harvey suddenly pushed the ball forward.

He wanted to teach Croatia a lesson, so he took a little risk and gave the ball to Villa in front.

Villa received the ball sideways, and he just wanted to lead the ball forward and run forward.

Vukojevic and Modric suddenly sandwiched him.

"Fuck him!"

Modric yelled.

Taking advantage of Vukojevic's confrontation with Villa, he shoveled the ball to Rakitic who was retreating.

Rakitic raised his head after receiving the ball and looked at Suker in the center circle.

Su Ke was still surrounded by defensive players and could not pass the ball to him smoothly.

To this end, Rakitic gave the ball to Mandzukic.

After Mandzukic received the ball, he did not turn around and dribble.

His dribbling impact does not pose much of a threat. He is a stand-up center.

Therefore, Mandzukic made a direct lateral transfer and passed the ball to Kranica on the other side.

Kranica did not stop the ball, but walked directly forward to the ball and began to sprint forward along the sideline.

At the same time, Suker, Mandzukic, and Rakitic were all running forward.

When Suk was running, his head turned left and right to observe.

When he was about to enter the penalty area, Suker slowed down and wanted to take advantage of Puyol's attention on Kranica to create some distance. It would be best to hit the goal directly.

But Puyol seemed to have a gap and turned around again to confirm Suker's position.

When he saw Su Ke slowing down, he immediately took a few steps back and directly pressed against Su Ke.

Suk couldn't help grinning.

Puyol's retreat caused Kranica to lose the opportunity to pass to himself.

And Kranica also swayed his feet, pulled out the angle, and passed the ball directly.

boom!

Mandzukic hit a header, but under the influence of Pique, the kick was a little reluctant.

The ball flew over the crossbar and out of the baseline.

"Croatia failed to seize this opportunity. Their offensive line was too obvious. Without Srna's edge, there was a lack of someone in the rib area. Modric did not dare to position too deep. Once When Spain counterattacked, it was difficult for their defense to resist!”

Spain kicks off again.

Croatia played very anxiously.

It's hard on Spain too.

Croatia put too much pressing pressure on them, and these guys were running like crazy.

"Give the ball to Iniesta!"

Del Bosque shouted from the sidelines.

In terms of dribbling ability, Iniesta is definitely the best.

And in such a fierce pressing by Croatia, the ball comes to Iniesta's feet more often and is safer.

It can also help other players create gaps.

Soon, Spain's passes began to focus towards Iniesta.

Iniesta caught the ball with his back. Before catching the ball, he lowered his body to the right and Vukojevic immediately followed.

But at this moment, Iniesta actually twisted on one foot, looked to the left with his head, and turned his body to the left.

"guessed!"

Vukojevic immediately pounced towards the left side. Before that, he obviously had some strength left.

But at this moment, Iniesta's foot suddenly buckled.

It actually changed direction to the right again.

With continuous feints, Vukojevic did the splits directly.

Iniesta took advantage of this moment and transferred the ball to Pedro on the wing.

Pedro did not break through immediately, but waited a moment.

After Iniesta ran forward into the gap, he immediately crossed the ball.

"Pedro knocked the ball across to Iniesta, a wonderful one-two."

Before he finished speaking, Iniesta actually stepped over the ball and continued to sprint forward.

The missed ball was passed directly to the feet of Cesc Fabregas, who was standing parallel.

At this moment, everyone's attention was attracted to Fabregas, and his choice was very simple.

Fabregas faced the ball and pushed it forward.

The ball passed between Simunic and Planic.

Iniesta accelerated into the penalty area, caught up with the ball, faced the Croatian goalkeeper, and shot with his left foot!

The ball flew close to the ground towards the Croatian goal.

Uh-huh!

The ball hit the net!

In the 23rd minute, Spain relied on a wonderful frontcourt cooperation and Iniesta scored to take the lead.

Spain 1:0 Croatia!

"Goal!!!!!!!——"

"Iniesta! Wonderful passing and running cooperation. Iniesta's leakage of the ball and subsequent movement were so good. Such a leak directly drew Croatia's attention to Cesc Fabregas, and he He took advantage of the situation and suddenly moved forward towards the center, and with Cesc Fabregas' pass, he completely tore apart the Croatian defense and scored! "

"Spain scored this goal in the way they are best at, and at the same time, they also have half a foot on the stage of the World Cup finals!"

shouted the South African commentator.

"At the same time, for Croatia, this goal is quite bad. They have been relatively passive, and now they have conceded the goal, which has worsened the situation again."

"It's just that this is Croatia!"

"This is a team full of resilience. I believe Croatia can still adjust their mentality and they will not give up the game here!"

Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

The whole place was filled with cheers from Spanish fans.

The entire Durban stadium was filled with the sounds of Spanish fans.

"Iniesta! A wonderful goal. This allows us to see the technical factors of Spain. At the same time, there is also a tacit coordination of passing and running, imaginative leaks and movements, which completely disrupted Croatia's defense!"

"Well done, boys!"

Spanish commentator Gonzalez shouted loudly.

But he quickly said seriously: "Although we are ahead, we must not relax and maintain concentration and fighting spirit."

Although in a leading position, the situation is also at an advantage.

But Gonzalez is still very afraid of Croatia.

In other words, be afraid of Suk!

For a player like Suker, once he is given the slightest chance, he can score goals.

Therefore, there is no need to relax!

Vansteyak pursed his lips tightly.

The worst has happened!

Spain scored first!

In the tactical arrangement before the game, he had thought about this problem. What should he do once Spain scores the first goal?

But in the end, I couldn’t find a suitable solution!

Any tactic can only provide certain support for the game, but it cannot determine the game.

Players are the main body of a game, and their performance determines the direction of the game.

Therefore, if this happens, Van Stryak can only choose to trust the players.

"Duimovich!"

Vansteyak turned and shouted: "Go warm up!"

Duimovich stood up immediately.

The others looked at Duimovich.

Is Croatian going to use the demon knife again?

"Periphery!"

"Pass it here!!——"

Modric raised his hand and called for the pass.

When the ball was passed to his feet, Modric pretended to take a shot, but pulled his right foot towards the left.

He pulled the ball to the left and immediately connected with a goal with his left foot.

Ding!

The ball bounced off the crossbar.

Instantly, Spain's defense line was in chaos.

Suk rushed forward suddenly.

It was very uncomfortable for him to be caught between the two of them.

Looking at the ball that was close at hand, Suk made a fierce tackle.

boom!

The ball hit Puyol's feet and flew out of the baseline.

Spain solved Croatia's dangerous attack, but it still made them sweat.

They restricted Suker, but Modric started to exert force.

"Well done! Luka!"

Su Ke punched hard: "Continue!"

Modric nodded vigorously.

Corner kick for Croatia.

Modric ran for a free throw.

boom!

After Modric's free throw, Mandzukic and Suker rushed towards the ball's landing point.

"Mario!"

Suk rushed over, and he immediately turned around and shouted.

Mandzukic pulled onions on dry land.

Since there was no run-up, he was not high enough, but he still returned the ball to Rakitic behind him.

Rakitic looked up at the ball.

The ball is falling, and beside him, Alonso is also watching eagerly.

The moment the ball hit the ground, Alonso rushed over.

At this moment, Rakitic stopped the ball to the left, jumped slightly, and relieved Alonso's impact in the air.

The right foot was raised sharply.

"Block!!"

Casillas roared.

Pique rushed over and tried to block the ball with a lateral sliding shovel.

At this time, Rakitic stepped on and pulled, and once again passed the ball to Modric on the wing.

Modric stopped the ball steadily and looked towards the center without anyone defending him.

"Suke!!——"

Modric immediately swung his foot towards the penalty area.

Suk shook his hands vigorously.

damn it!

Do you think I am a donkey?

Su Ke kept cursing in his heart, but his eyes were fixed on the ball.

Just as he was about to take off, Puyol suddenly moved laterally.

This was a long-stepping move that blocked Su Ke abruptly, causing the two of them to fall together.

"Hey!"

Su Ke immediately raised his hand.

The referee didn't say anything.

"Isn't this a foul? Puyol's move was so big!"

Krausiewicz opened his hands angrily, comparing Puyol's actions.

However, the referee did not give any signal. Spain wanted to take the opportunity to counterattack, but the ball was directly shoveled out of the sideline by Vukojevic.

The referee stopped the game.

The Croatian players immediately gathered around.

The Croatian players argued hard, and Bilic was also angrily protesting towards the referee at the coaching bench on the sidelines.

But he failed to get any response. The referee was even touching his pocket, ready to take out the cards.

"Go back! Go back!"

Suk shouted: "Don't waste time, we are still behind!"

After saying that, Suk glared at the referee fiercely; "I remember you!"

We are still competing now, we will settle the score after the game is over!

Spanish hand throw.

The Croatian players were very angry based on this unfair penalty.

Therefore, the movements have become larger.

boom!

Rakitic knocked Alonso down and grabbed the ball at the same time.

Sukdu thought the referee would blow the whistle to signal a foul.

But this guy didn't blow the whistle.

Even the Spanish players were stunned for a moment.

"Pass the ball!"

Suk bolted forward.

The referee didn't even blow the whistle, why were you standing there in a daze?

Rakitic realized it later, but there was no passing point in Suker's position.

At this moment, someone beside him suddenly thrust forward.

"Spare the ball!"

I saw Modric running along the wing.

Except for Su Ke, he had the fastest reaction.

Rakitic immediately passed the ball to Modric.

Modric accelerated and ran forward to catch the ball.

At the same time, his feet suddenly stopped and he looked up towards the penalty area.

Ramos thought Modric was going to cross, so he immediately approached him.

At this moment, Modric swiped the ball violently, started extremely resolutely, used his explosive power to open up some gaps, and swept the ball towards the goal.

"Modric's pass! The Croatian players are outflanking!"

"Mandzukic!!"

boom!

Mandzukic hit the ball, but Casillas reacted quickly. The ball hit his calf and rolled towards the back point.

And there, Suk suddenly appeared at the ball's landing point.

"Suke!!!!!!——"

At this moment, all the Spanish players were sweating.

Puyol immediately turned around and tried to run over to block it.

But Su Ke didn't make any adjustments at all. When he was running, he looked at the ball hanging in the air, jumped up slightly, tilted his body slightly to the left, raised his right foot, and used the inertia of running to throw the ball away. The ball is kicked towards the goal.

Uh-huh! ! !

The ball hit the net!

In the 35th minute, Croatia scored and equalized the score!

"Goal!!!!!!!!!——"

"Suk! It's Suk again! It's always Suk!"

"After we fell behind, Suker seized the opportunity and scored!"

"Wonderful! So wonderful! Croatia equalized the score!"

"Of course, Suker scored the goal, but we can't ignore Modric's performance!"

"After losing the ball, Modric increased his offensive intensity and tried several long-range shots to score goals. At the same time, he kept passing the ball to his teammates. It was only with his active running and performance that Croatia achieved this goal. ball!"

"At the same time, this goal also tells us, boys, don't give up, we still have a chance!"

Blah blah blah! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

All Croatian fans applauded and cheered excitedly.

The Durban Stadium became a sea of ​​joy for Croatia this time.

Spain scored and they fell behind!

But they immediately tied the score.

This is Croatia!

This is the lone wolf in Eastern Europe who bites and refuses to let go!

At the Spanish coaching bench, Del Bosque pursed his lips, and his palms kept relaxing and clenching, repeatedly.

It can be predicted that he was very nervous inside.

Croatia's recent attacks have almost no rules or tactics at all.

Running is also messy!

But precisely because of the chaos, they successfully interfered with Spain's defense and finally scored the goal.

Croatia played chaotically, but they were attacking after all.

Spain is on the defensive. Once they get into chaos, it will be a fatal problem.

The most critical thing is that Alonso and Xavi cannot turn around.

Both the horizontal and forward passing points were blocked. Croatia was still so determined to block the midfield, and at the same time it relied on counterattacks from the wings to continue to exert pressure.

Of course, the most terrible one is Su Ke.

Bosque felt like a ghost!

Obviously they have invested so much defensive power on Su Ke.

But this guy can still score goals.

Who knows how he got to that position!

From his position on the sidelines, Duimovic also tilted his head and asked in confusion: "Why is Suker's movements always so strange, and why can he always pick up mistakes?"

After hearing this, Srna was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Is it possible that he just doesn't trust you to score goals and is ready to make a follow-up shot at any time?"

Duimovich was stunned for a moment.

"He doesn't trust Mario?"

Sirna added silently in his mind.

'and you'

It was Mandzukic and Duimovic who made the most supplementary shots from Suk.

There was a goal in front of the goal, but there were some flaws in his shooting skills, so Suk was able to pick it up.

Even, in order to better make up for the problem of missing shots, when Mandzukic shot, he maintained his strength to achieve miracles, did not pursue the angle, and hit the goal vigorously.

In this way, even if the opponent's goalkeeper saves the ball, it will cause a release problem, and Suker will have more opportunities to make up shots.

Duimovic basically shot wildly.

Even though this guy is a monster, he scores a lot of goals at critical moments.

But after the wild shots, more goals were missed!

But this is exactly what this guy is best about.

After the others missed a few kicks, they were too embarrassed to shoot.

But Duimovic will not be like this. He is constantly shooting from long range as always.

And the quality of the shots is getting better every time.

Generally speaking, having a guy like this on a team is enough of a headache.

But the key is that there is a leak-picking king in Croatia!

This is very comfortable!

It just so happens that Su Ke can be liberated in this way, which can be regarded as a small trick.
