All-around center

"The game is over. Croatia finally defeated Denmark with a score of 3:0 and became the first team in Group B to enter the knockout stage!"

"In the two games, Croatia brought us wonderful performances. We also look forward to their better performance in the next game!"

Since Suker left the court, Croatia switched from offense to defense. With rich defensive experience and active running, Denmark did not get any chance of reversal.

For Denmark, losing this game means that they have completely bid farewell to the stage of the European Cup.

This is not much different from the prediction before the game. After all, in Group B, Denmark's strength is really a bit difficult.

"Play well!"

"Keep steady!"

Besic interspersed among the players, constantly patting their shoulders to encourage.

In this game, the disciples played very well.

Of course, Suker was naturally elected the best player of the game, but this is already commonplace.

In addition to Suker, Rakitic's performance is still very stable and outstanding. Mandzukic can also create many opportunities for the two wings in the center position. After all, for Croatia at this time, they do not need a big center, but a center player who can give full play to Suker's ability.

Obviously, Mandzukic is a very suitable candidate.

The performances of the two young players Kovacic and Brozovic are also remarkable. There are no goals and no assists, but they are very stable.

This is enough!

Besic does not expect them to exert their strength now and become the mainstay of Croatia. After all, Suker and his group are just at their peak.

Unless their performance can overwhelm these people, they cannot become starters.

For Besic, Kovacic and Brozovic are here to experience in this European Cup. The 2016 European Cup or the 2018 World Cup is when they need to exert their strength.

Before that, they only need to grow steadily.

Of course, not everyone is in good condition.

Perisic seems to have entered a goal drought.

In these two games, he did not have no chance to shoot, but he failed to grasp them.

Perisic will get more ball possession in Dortmund and become a major offensive wing. With more resources tilted, his state can also immediately become hot.

But in Croatia, Suker is undoubtedly the core of the attack and the finishing player.

And in the field where Perisic is good at, Mandzukic can also play a part.

Perisic still hopes that he can get more resources and play a more important role.

He dare not compete with Suker, which is impossible.

But some of Mandzukic's resources can be shared with him, but the coaching staff does not intend to do so.

For this reason, Perisic has become a pure shooter on the wing.

There are few opportunities to touch the ball in a game, and sometimes there are only 3-4 touches in the half, two of which are shots.

But after a long period of not touching the ball, it is obviously not suitable for him to suddenly shoot.

For this reason, he failed to seize the opportunity!

Besic also knows this problem, but he can't change it in a short time. After all, this is a problem of building a tactical system, which requires a long time of adjustment.

Now, the European Cup is imminent, and he can't waste his energy here.

For this reason, weakening the existence of the right wing and focusing on the left wing has become Croatia's current tactical characteristics.

At worst, the attack on the right wing can be left to Srna's wing.

Perisic probably won't be willing, but for the sake of the team, Besic also needs to talk to him.

After winning the second game, Croatia can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

They have already advanced to the knockout stage in advance.

The problem now is whether to be the first or second in the group.

For Croatia, they only need to win the third game, and there will be no problem in advancing with a full victory in the group.

That evening, the entire Croatian national team gathered and packed their luggage again to return to Warsaw, the capital of Poland.

The third game, Croatia vs. Germany, will be held at the Warsaw National Stadium.

Poznan to Warsaw is more than 300 kilometers away. Due to ample time, the entire Croatian team took a bus for transfer.

It takes about 3 hours to travel, and many Croatian players have fallen asleep.

At the end of the team, Suker, Modric, Srna, Mandzukic and Dujmovic gathered together.

Srna was holding a mobile phone in his hand, watching the game between Germany and Portugal.

Hiss~~~~

"Another tie?" Srna took a breath.

Is this still the Portugal that is playing against them?

The first round was muddled.

The second round was a heavy blow.

Germany took the lead twice, and Portugal tied twice.

Both times were equalizers scored by Ronaldo.

"Portugal's state is too slow to start. If they were in this state when playing against us, they might have won a draw!"

Duimovic said.

Suk: "Pretending!"

Duimovic: "I'm telling the truth, after all, the difference in the lineup is there!"

"Stop arguing!" Mandzukic said attentively; "Watch the game, it's really a critical moment!"

Duimovic pouted; "Why don't you talk about Suk!"

But no one paid attention to him.

Everyone was looking at the screen on their phones.

On the screen, the German team's counterattack began again.

Lahm sent a counterattack ball and found Erdog in the frontcourt directly. He passed it forward, and Muller ran sideways, but suddenly jumped over the ball.

"Missed the ball? Damn it!"

Srna couldn't help but exclaimed.

The ball went forward along the rib area, Podolski received the ball and swept it directly to the front of the goal, and the German center forward Gomez fell to the ground and shot into the goal.

In the 88th minute, the German team scored another goal.

Germany 3:2 Portugal!

"It's over!"

Srna couldn't help grinning; "No chance!"

At this time, the Portuguese players were panting, and it was very difficult for them to hold on until now.

And facing another loss of the ball and not much time left, they wanted to organize a counterattack again, which was a very difficult thing.

In the remaining time, Portugal kept lobbed the ball into the German penalty area.

Ronaldo jumped up and down again and again, and in the end, you can even see that he gritted his teeth every time he jumped up.

Even the last time, Ronaldo couldn't jump up at all.

The physical energy consumption was too great!

At the end of the 90-minute game, Portugal failed to change its fate, and the final score was fixed at 3:2.

"The game is over. Portugal failed to beat Germany and became the third team to be eliminated!"

"In fact, Portugal had a good chance in this game. I also saw Ronaldo, the top star, twice tenaciously equalized, but still couldn't beat this powerful German team!"

"Portugal failed to win. They lost two consecutive group matches and were eliminated together with Denmark!"

"In Group B of the European Cup, Croatia and Germany advanced together. As for the first place in the group, it will be determined in the third round of the game, in the confrontation between the two favorites to win the championship!"

Srna put down his mobile phone and sighed: "Portugal didn't get a draw after all!"

Modric also shook his head: "There is no way. Even if you want to get rid of Germany, Portugal will get a draw."

Suker shrugged: "There is no way!"

The European Cup group stage is over.

The teams that were eliminated first in each group also appeared one after another.

Group A was eliminated: Netherlands 0-0-2.

Group B was eliminated, Portugal 0-0-2, Denmark 0-0-2.

Group C was eliminated: Ireland 0-0-2.

Group D was eliminated: Sweden 0-0-2.

At present, except for Group B, the qualification of the other groups is still suspenseful.

As the death group, the situation in Group B is more tragic than expected.

This kind of tragedy is not chaos, but for Portugal and Denmark, it is almost a kind of tragedy that can hardly breathe!

If these two teams were placed in other groups, they would be teams that can strive to qualify from the group.

In Group B, they were beaten twice in a row by Croatia and Germany.

The strong performance of these two teams put pressure on everyone.

Especially for those teams that have the opportunity to qualify from the group, they may face one of these two teams in the knockout rounds, so they need to be more cautious.

Portugal left the stage of the European Cup.

Ronaldo also had no choice but to start his vacation.

However, just a few days after Portugal was eliminated, the German media suddenly broke a shocking news to everyone.

On June 16, the night when the second round of the European Cup group stage was over, the German authoritative media suddenly broke a news.

"Bayern Munich officially announced that Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo joined Bayern Munich Club for a transfer fee of 100 million pounds!"

The news of Ronaldo's transfer instantly swept across Europe, and everyone was shocked by it.

After all, there was some discussion about this news among the top leaders in the circle before, but the confidentiality work on both sides was too good, and no one knew what the specific progress was, let alone the fans.

Therefore, when this news broke, the entire European continent was boiling instantly.

Especially the fans of Bayern Munich, it was a surprise.

They witnessed the second round of the European Cup, how Ronaldo tied two goals in a row by himself, and put the German team into a fierce battle.

Although they won the game in the end, they did not win easily.

Among them, Ronaldo's value and efficiency were vividly reflected.

For Bayern Munich, what they need most at present is a key scoring star.

Ronaldo meets a requirement in all aspects.

They even imagined that if they had Ronaldo in the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid, the situation might be different.

Ronaldo will wear the No. 7 jersey of Bayern Munich in the new season, while Ribery, the original owner of the No. 7 jersey, will wear the No. 11 jersey.

When Suk saw the news, he was puzzled.

He wondered how Bayern Munich could convince Ribery to hand over the No. 7 jersey.

As for Ronaldo's transfer to Bayern Munich, Suk was not too surprised.

After all, if Ronaldo still wants to compete with them, he must choose a team that can pose a threat to Real Madrid. So far, it is only Bayern Munich.

And before that, he could hear some hidden information in this regard in his communication with Modric and Zoranqi.

Although they did not take the initiative to say it or admit it.

But it's almost the same!

"Bayern Munich doesn't want to lose again! They spent 100 million to sign Ronaldo!" Srna couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that two Asian Championships and one season have made them a little broken!"

Mandzukic and Vukojevic looked at Srna with resentment.

Are you polite?

"But the worst one is Olic, right? Ronaldo wears No. 7, Ribery wears No. 11, so what does Olic, who used to wear No. 11, wear?" Duimovic asked puzzled.

Everyone turned their heads to look over.

Duimovic immediately said: "Olic was not selected for the national team, there is no him here, I didn't say anything wrong!"

After that, he covered his crotch with one hand.

"What a waste!" Suk said disdainfully.

Suk turned his head and looked at Mandzukic: "Götze and Lewandowski, are you not recruiting them?"

"The plan has been postponed!" Mandzukic waved his hand: "Not enough money!"

This season's transfer fee is basically spent on Ronaldo, and Bayern really has no money.

What's more, Ronaldo's salary is also a great pressure.

All these factors show that Bayern Munich is gambling.

If it succeeds, everyone is happy.

If it fails, it may not be able to recover for one or two seasons.

"Bayern Munich! Dortmund!"

Suk couldn't help but sigh.

The two Bundesliga teams next season are so strong!

In the original time and space, Bayern Munich and Dortmund next season are very strong.

The two sides staged a German derby in the Champions League final!

Now, Bayern Munich has recruited Ronaldo, and its ability to win and score goals is even better.

Dortmund has not lost Lewandowski and Gotze, so Klopp must take off, right?

Facing these two teams, Real Madrid is full of contradictions.

Today's internal contradictions are a bit uncontrollable.

Once Mourinho makes trouble again, it will inevitably erupt in all directions.

Suk shook his head. This kind of thing will be discussed later. At this stage, we still have to focus on the European Cup.

Starting from June 17, the third round of the European Cup group stage is fully opened.

The third round of the game is more intense than the first two rounds.

This is the last game related to promotion and the most critical game, so they must play this game well.

At the same time, it is also a tough battle for Croatia and Germany.

Whether it is Croatia or Germany, they don’t want to be inferior to others, so competing for the first place in the group has become their goal.

At present, both teams have two wins.

Croatia has a slight lead in goal difference.

Once the group stage is tied, Croatia will also be the first in the group in terms of goal difference, and they have a small advantage.

However, for Croatia, they still have to play this game with a winning mentality.

Moreover, Suker will not relax in this game.

The first round is a bait.

A small effort in the second round.

These are all preparations for the third round. Besic also understands that the victory or defeat of this game is directly related to Suker’s performance.

Therefore, Suker’s ability must be brought to the extreme.

At the same time, on the other side, the German team is also preparing for the game.

Germany coach Loew was also in high spirits at this time.

With the outbreak of German youth training, the German team's lineup has become extremely strong.

The starting lineup is strong, and there are also a group of young and talented geniuses sitting on the bench.

These people can fully display the skills and tactics in Loew's mind.

In the past, the German team only had one Ballack to hold on, but now the German team is more united and stronger.

Even Croatia has the courage to come up with an offensive lineup.

That's right!

Loew wants to play against Croatia!

Use the most powerful way to avenge himself and the German team.

"In the next game against Croatia, we will no longer play a purely defensive formation, but play more actively!"

Loew said passionately: "We want to defeat Croatia! We want revenge! We want to win in the most confident way!"

Listening to Loew's speech, the German players were also excited.

With the growth of the younger generation, their current state and performance are also extremely outstanding.

They believe that they have the ability to confront Croatia head-on.

In the entire conference room, only Lahm had a solemn expression.

The reason why he had such an expression was very simple.

Löw hoped that he could defend Suker alone!

Fuck him!

Lahm almost swore, but Löw was arranging tactics in public, could Lahm say "no"?

Moreover, Loew called himself the world's No. 1 full-back at present, and praised himself severely, putting him high. As the captain and leader, with such a prefix, he had no right to say "no" at all.

If he said no, it would damage morale, so Lahm could only bite the bullet.

However, Lahm also had some confidence.

After all, his defensive ability has been honed in the past period of time. It cannot be said that he can completely restrict Suker, but he can still interfere.

If he cooperates with the central defender, it is not impossible for him to defend Suker alone.

Once he defends Suker, the German team will naturally be able to show a better offensive performance, just as Loew said, to defeat Croatia head-on, win the victory in the most powerful way, and avenge themselves.

On June 17, the third round of the European Cup started.

The battle in Group A is fierce!

Except for the Netherlands, which has been eliminated, the other three teams are fighting fiercely for the qualification.

On the other hand, the Netherlands has been in a mess because of internal fighting, and it is no doubt that they lost the game in the third round.

The Czech Republic ranked first in the group and Greece ranked second in the group, and they advanced together.

The group stage of Group A is over.

Attention has also shifted to Group B!

There is no competition for qualification in Group B, but there is a battle for the first place in the group.

The heat of the match between Portugal and Denmark is very low. After all, they have been eliminated, and it doesn’t matter who wins or loses.

On the other hand, Croatia and Germany have two wins so far. This game will determine the first place in the group, so it must be a fight between dragons and tigers.

Moreover, these are the two teams with the best performance in the group stage, and they are also in Group B.

For this reason, their confrontation has become the focus of the world.

Will Croatia continue to play the rhapsody?

Or will the roar of the German tanks resound through the sky of Warsaw?

The war is about to start!
