What is a destructive midfielder?

As England, the favorite to win the championship, was eliminated, the World Cup gradually entered its climax.

During the offseason, tourists’ spending power continues to surge.

Football-related orders increased by 80%.

Orders for sporting goods rose 129%.

Sex toys rose 3296%.

The training bases of the four teams in the semifinals have become "scenic spots". Countless tourists flocked to the base to visit the public training, which also ushered in spring for the local service industry.

Outside St. Petersburg, Croatian garrison.

Modric sat in front of the computer, watching the Spanish game video.

The several pages of draft paper on the desktop are covered with dense lines.

This is a habit he developed when he was a teenager at Dinamo Zagreb. At first, other teammates misunderstood that he was doing math problems.

Model.

Model deconstruction of the established midfield.

He has been working hard all the way from the minor leagues, and has experienced the baptism of different styles in different regions, and has become a master by himself.

Why does the national team version of Modric look stronger?

On the one hand is the will to fight.

On the other hand, there is the deployment of overall resources in the game, with different tactical weights.

Rakitic is different. He was extremely powerful and talented when he played for Schalke 04 and Sevilla. After going to Barcelona, ​​he became a sapper who wiped his ass.

"Luka, it's time to go eat. Spain's game videos are nothing to study. Their problems are obvious."

"No, Lee may cover up these problems in the next game. Many times he is the real head coach on the field, just like Guardiola and Beckenbauer when they were young."

Before the World Cup started, few people believed that Croatia, a small Eastern European country with a population of only 4 million, could reach the semifinals.

Krasnodar base.

Del Bosque gave all the players a day off to spend time with their wives.

The Spanish Wives Group is still very low-key and does not beat people, drink alcohol, sing obscene songs, or compare with each other like the English Wives Group.

Of course, it may also be related to age.

The girlfriends of Ramos, Pique, Fabregas and others are all in their forties.

Even De Gea's girlfriend is thirty-two years old.

Mature.

The Matadors all like to fall in love with mature girls.

As if it's contagious, every generation of players on the entire team since 1999 has fallen in love with girls many years older than themselves.

A female junior is holding a gold brick.

Some players have already held several gold bricks, especially Cesc Fabregas, who can hold four gold bricks.

In the conference room.

Mignano hesitated: "Boss, Li is the only one left at the base."

Bosque scratched his belly: "This is really a headache."

The old coach silently made up his mind: the first thing he should do in retirement after this World Cup is to introduce girls from Castile to Li Kang.

Li Kang was not bored at all. He sat in front of the computer and watched the Croatian game video.

The desktop is also piled with scratch paper.

He even forgot about the passage of time and had to set the alarm clock for dinner.

Unlike other opponents, the Croatian national team plays more like a "club".

The best midfield combination in the world: Barcelona-Rakitic, Real Madrid-Modric and Kovacic, Inter Milan-Brozovic.

There is also an alternative tactical fulcrum on the front line: Mandzukic.

As for Perisic? Now more Morata than Lukaku.

With Germany and England eliminated.

Cross's "Teaching You Step by Step to Become a Ceremonial Midfielder" and Maguire's "World-Class Central Defender Teach You to Defend" have also been updated.

Living up to the fans' expectations, both gave predictions for the World Cup semi-finals.

in video.

Kroos has returned to the training ground in Madrid. Under the blue sky and white clouds, his assistant moved a tactical board to the turf.

The Real Madrid midfielder took over the pen and wrote the lineup prediction.

"Croatia exceeded our expectations but they have a lot of problems."

"The forwards care too much about offensive width, Mandzukic and Perisic's offensive ideas are not unified enough, and there is a contradiction between the fulcrum and movement."

"Brozovic will be out of touch with Rakitic and Modric most of the time."

"The understanding between the two full-backs and the midfielder is too low."

"Once their advancement encounters strong pressure from their opponents, it will be very inefficient."

"But now Spain, which tends to defend low, will make all the problems above Croatia irrelevant."

"."

"I think it's going to be a battle going into overtime."

"The longer it takes, the greater the chance of Croatia advancing."

Video column on the other side.

Maguire offered a different perspective.

"Croatia has gone through two overtime games, and the lineup, which is dominated by older players, is already exhausted."

"No matter how strong and tenacious the will is, it cannot make up for the lack of physical fitness."

"I'm not talking about physical fitness for a game, but physical fitness for a cup."

"Lee has the ability to resolve the battle in ninety minutes."

"Nine and a half playing style? I am the perfect central defender to fit the nine and a half backcourt."

While chatting, he demonstrated defense to the audience.

If I wasn't paying attention, I was knocked down by my partner.

【Who should we listen to? 】

[It’s all my fault that Paul the Octopus died early. Alas. 】

[If the octopus had a longer lifespan, it might have ruled the earth and the Milky Way long ago. ]

-

[My cat picked the note with "Croatia" written on it. No matter what, go all in! If I lose, I'll sell the cat to make up for the loss! ]

[This game is too difficult. The game next door is much easier. Five-star Samba will definitely beat the Gallic Black Chicken! ]

The days passed one by one.

In a blink of an eye, the first game of the World Cup semi-finals kicked off.

France VS Brazil.

At the Luzhniki Stadium, 80,000 spectators were in full swing.

"The moonlight is like water, flowing over the top of Moscow University and pouring on the ancient and glorious Luzhniki."

"The unshakable statue of Lenin seems to be telling the history of the completion of the stadium."

"Tonight, we will witness a great duel here!"

"Gallic Rooster vs. Five-star Samba."

"It is destined to be a night of shining stars!"

The commentator's tone was full of expectations.

Unfortunately.

The game was one-sided.

Deschamps did not let the French blacks play a counterattack in this game, but deployed around the two world-class midfielders of "Pogba + Kante" to attack the Brazilian team fiercely.

12th minute.

Kante completed the steal in the backcourt and passed it to Pogba.

Pogba turned and accelerated with the ball.

When he encountered Paulinho's steal.

With dark long legs and strong physique, he made an extremely agile escape action.

Snap.

After breaking through the defense, Pogba sent a long-distance pass near the center circle.

Mbappe nitrogen acceleration!

French supercar, ravaging Moscow.

The super connection of the three blacks amazed the world.

Two-foot pass, threatening the Samba goal!

"Incredible speed!"

"Mbappe broke through Miranda and Fernandinho's double-team!"

"Shot in the far corner!"

"The ball went in!"

Deschamps applauded calmly.

Brazil coach Tite was confused: Just conceded a goal?

Many national team coaches are not world-class coaches, and they did not make a name for themselves during their playing careers.

For example, Tite.

His club coaching career was spent in Brazil and the United Arab Emirates.

Deschamps is different.

He was an all-around midfielder at the European T0 level during his playing career.

As a coach, he led Monaco to the Champions League final, and the opponent that year was Porto led by Mourinho.

In the end.

Mbappe once again amazed the world.

Neymar shed tears in Luzhniki.

France 3:0 Brazil.

Advance to the World Cup final.

The cheering French fans in the stands seemed like a crazy black ocean.

After the game, in the mixed interview area.

Pogba was surrounded by media reporters.

"It's the World Cup now, I don't want to talk about the club."

"I don't care about the outside world's doubts, I speak with strength on the court, you have already felt my performance in the World Cup!"

"Final opponent? Of course, it would be best if I don't care who the opponent will be in the final!"

"Don't waste your time on me, pay more attention to my teammates, my teammates are doing great!"

That's what he said.

Pogba was still a little unhappy that Mbappe stole his limelight, and he wanted to go back to the hotel and turn on the game console: Beat up the Ninja Turtles.

For the World Cup.

Endure it!

At the national team level, it is his best chance to defeat Li Kang head-on!
