Chapter 390: Croatia

The day of July 11 ushered in the first match of the semi-finals, the match between the French team and the Belgian team.

The favourites, France, defeated Belgium 1-0 and advanced to the World Cup final.

The French team has been a big favorite since before the start of the World Cup. Indeed, this French team is too strong.

From the striker to the midfielder to the defender, everything is very luxurious.

The next day was the match between the Huaxia team and the Croatian team, but it was not the same as before.

Before the game time, Huaxia fans were very friendly, and it was all played before 12:00 Huaxia time.

But this time is different, this game will be played at 2 o'clock in the morning.

Although it was relatively late, there were still countless fans standing in front of the TV.

The Huaxia team made a historic run into the semi-finals of the World Cup, and all the fans were very excited.

Cai Jian came to the studio again today, and he is going to explain this game with Liu Jiayuan and Xu Yang.

"Hello, audience friends! Welcome to today's game. Today I bring you the half-sentence match of the World Cup. The two teams are the Huaxia team and the Croatian team." Liu Jiayuan said in the opening commentary.

Unlike the previous games, Liu Jiayuan's mood was significantly higher.

After all, the Huaxia team has entered the semi-finals of the World Cup, and in most people's opinion, the Huaxia team still has great hopes of winning.

How strong is a Croatian team that scored penalty kicks against Russia and Denmark?

Everyone, including the commentator, is holding a positive attitude at this time.

"Unconsciously, the World Cup has progressed to the present, and the Huaxia team has become the second Asian team to reach the semi-finals."

"It shocked the whole world, they underestimated this Asian team participating in the World Cup for the second time."

"Currently, whether it's domestic media or foreign media, most of them believe that the Huaxia team can win. I don't know how Teacher Cai Jian views this game."

Liu Jiayuan asked with a smile, in fact, in his mind, he thought that Cai Jian would definitely say that the Huaxia team could win.

But Cai Jian's answer surprised him, because Cai Jian was not that optimistic.

"I think this will be the biggest difficulty for the Huaxia team,

Croatia is definitely a strong team. "Cai Jian said seriously.

"Of course I don't mean that we can't win, but the hope of winning is really lower than the last game."

"Now the country is generally optimistic, but I still need to say that the Croatian team is really stronger than everyone thinks."

Hearing Cai Jian's seriousness surprised all the fans.

When explaining the game before, Cai Jian has always been crazy.

At that time, it was even said that the Huaxia team could advance to the semi-finals, and in the end the Huaxia team did succeed.

But now Cai Jian suddenly changed, which also made many people uneasy.

Afterwards, the three of them chatted and explained their views.

Cai Jian has also let go a lot now, talking with the two of them, and soon players from both sides came to the court.

"Let me introduce the starting lineups of the two sides. First of all, for the Croatian team, the official 4-3-3 formation is given:

Goalkeeper: 23 Subashki;

Defenders: 3 Strinic, 6 Lovren, 21 Vida, 2 Fusari;

Midfield: 7 Rakitic, 11 Brozovic, 10 Modric;

Forwards: 4 Perisic, 17 Mandzukic, 18 Rebic. "

"Then for the Huaxia team, the official also gave 4-3-3:

Goalkeeper: 13 Shanwei (84);

Defenders: 19 Wang Yuhao (82), 4 Chen Xi (83), 20 Qiao Guoli (85), 21 Shu Changyuan (79);

Midfielder: 8 Xia Zhong (83), 6 Tao Jia (84), 23 Zhou Yuan (86);

Forwards: 7 Xue Yang (90), 11 Wang Yuanjie (87), 10 Lu Yunlong (90). "

"For the Huaxia team, the good news is that the right back Shu Changyuan is back." Liu Jiayuan explained.

The last game let everyone know the importance of Shu Changyuan, and the goal was lost by Zhang Linpeng, who replaced him.

The return of Shu Changyuan reassured the fans a lot.

"But the bad news is that Qian Haojia bid farewell to the World Cup ahead of schedule, but I believe Wang Yuanjie can make up for his vacancy."

Cai Jian looked at the starting roster of the Croatian team, and it was indeed very strong.

Their midfield configuration is very high, and the Huaxia team does not have an advantage.

The Croatian team performed so well in this World Cup, the head coach Dalic has contributed a lot.

Dalic has been coaching in West Asia before, and his reputation is not very great.

But to say that Dalich is capable, the previous two knockout games were defeated by penalty shootouts.

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

Before the game, Cai Jian blew the Croatian team because he knew that this game would be very difficult.

So he vaccinated the blindly optimistic fans, but the reality slapped Cai Jian severely.

It didn't take long for the first half to start, and it only lasted to the third minute.

The Huaxia team got a set kick in their own half, and the center back Qiao Guoli kicked it off.

The football flew towards the opponent's half and found Lu Yunlong, the right winger.

It can be regarded as successfully finding Lu Yunlong, but it is a pity that the opponent's defensive players followed closely.

The opposing full-back Strinic took the lead to push the football out, but the football did not push it too far.

The football flew towards the midfielder Zhou Yuan, Zhou Yuan successfully stopped the football.

But there were too many players around him, and when they saw Zhou Yuan took the ball, they quickly surrounded him.

Zhou Yuan reacted very quickly, he kicked the football.

He knocked the football across to Xia Zhong, and Xia Zhong pushed forward after receiving the pass.

When the teammates saw that the football was still under their feet, they all started to move forward.

Xia Zhong took only a few steps, and Modric ran over from behind him.

Surprised and rich, Modric knew that Xia Zhong could not be allowed to continue dribbling.

Because Xia Zhong took two more steps, and he was near the top of the arc outside the penalty area.

Modric was ready to foul, but when he came behind Xia Zhong, Xia Zhong chose to pass the ball.

I saw Xia Zhong slapped the football with his right foot, and slammed the football to the right side of the penalty area.

It turned out that he noticed Lu Yunlong's position. When Lu Yunlong saw Xia Zhong pass the ball, he quickly accelerated and ran diagonally into the penalty area.

The timing of this pass is very good, and Lu Yunlong's running position is also very good.

It actually gave Lu Yunlong a chance to run out. After rushing into the penalty area, he took the lead in chasing the football.

He jumped up and raised his leg to stop the ball, and then he slammed his left foot directly towards the football after landing.

This set of movements is smooth and flowing, giving people a pleasing look and feel.

Lu Yunlong hit the goal at a slightly smaller angle, but it's not because of Lu Yunlong.

Goalkeeper Subashchi hurriedly made a save, but he failed to touch the football after all.

The football flew into the goal and hit the net.

The Huaxia team leads the Croatian team 1-0!
