From fans to superstars

Chapter 559 Flaw!A contest of wills!

Croatia will not surrender!

China will not give up either!
In the next game, every inch of grass is destined to be a battleground for players from both teams!
After taking the lead in scoring, the Chinese team recovered everything, hoping to get this goal to the end of the game. Facing the Chinese team's intensive defense, Croatia could only try to use long shots to score!

Modric is such a long-range shooting master!
They formulated a strategy of trying long-range shots from outside the penalty area, and Lippi also found Croatia's loophole, which is the full-back Sosa!

Here as Croatia's head coach Dalic has to praise China's defensive strategy.

China is obviously trying to decipher the goal conceded against the Netherlands in the previous game and Croatia's offensive mode.

The problem with China's defense is that it is slightly short of height and is easily suppressed by high-altitude ball competition. This is also how Croatia scored in the game against Japan.

In this game, China obviously defended the two wings. When Croatia distributed the ball to the two wings, the Chinese players would double-team and restrict the passing route, leaving Croatia with the only choice of returning the ball to the backcourt or to the backcourt. The midfielder uses ground coordination to penetrate the breakthrough.

Once the threat of Croatia's two-way high-altitude ball was limited, Croatia's central midfielder did not have enough strong forwards to break through, allowing Croatia to have more than half of the ball, but was unable to gain an offensive advantage on the field.

At the same time, Croatia's left-back Sosa, who did not perform well in this game, often made mistakes in stopping the ball on the court, causing the ball to be retracted or making mistakes in dribbling, which made Croatia's offense look weak.

And the most important turning point in this game is about to appear!
Lippi was happy to find Croatia's loopholes, and Croatia soon gave the Chinese team a heavy blow!
Croatia got a chance. Modric scored the Chinese team's goal with a kick from outside the penalty area. Yan Junling made a save, but failed to block the ball!
The Chinese team lacks a world-class goalkeeper. Even a goalkeeper like Karius is better than the current Yan Junling~
Yan Junling hammered the grass angrily, his expression a little sad. If his position selection had been better, if his reaction had been faster, then there is no guarantee that the ball could have been saved!
The Chinese team's calculations were shattered. They originally wanted to seduce Croatia to attack and then use a defensive counterattack to steal a goal. But in the current situation, I'm afraid it's just a dream!
Modric had a crazy celebration. He was physically exhausted but mentally invigorated. The same was true for other Croatian players, and no one could predict the consequences of such a celebration!
Neither Lippi nor Dalic want to play overtime~
In the 32nd minute of the game, the Croatian defense made a mistake not long after tying the score. The Croatian backcourt sandwiched Chen Yuyuan. If Chen Yuyuan got the ball, he could double attack!

However, Lovren made a mistake in his position and did not maintain a parallel line with the other two offside lines, giving Chen Yuyuan a chance to successfully counter offside.

Of course, this is also due to Chen Yuyuan's ADHD-like jogging and wandering around, pulling and playing with the Croatian players' nerves!
Moreover, Croatia is not good at dealing with high-speed sprinting teams. If it were not for Lukaku's goal error against Belgium, Croatia might have lost the last game.

However, Chen Yuyuan's high-speed sprint was unable to keep up with Gvadiol, so the failure of the flanking attack turned into an opportunity to stand alone. Livakovic's last resort attack was completely caught by Chen Yuyuan!

He got a yellow card, and Chen Yuyuan lived up to expectations and scored the leading goal.

Some people may think, why doesn't this goalkeeper just sacrifice his life and commit another foul to block this attack?Friends who watch professional football leagues know that when a goalkeeper blocks a single player without touching the ball, this kind of foul can easily lead to a red card. If Livakovic gets a red card, Croatia will fall into a 10-on-11 situation. And the situation of being one goal behind is even more pessimistic.

Chen Yuyuan did not run to celebrate, but walked. After a brief celebration, he walked to the sidelines. His forehead was covered with small beads of sweat. The pain in his legs forced him to go to the sidelines first. Take a break!
The team doctor immediately stepped forward, but he was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether he should give another sealing injection!

Seeing this situation, Lippi wanted to replace Chen Yuyuan, but Chen Yuyuan refused!
"One more shot!" Chen Yuyuan's tone was firm, and he wanted a shot to seal it off. He knew what Lippi meant. The team is now leading, so they can replace Chen Yuyuan, put on a defensive player, and then defend the advantage of one goal!

This is an optimistic idea!

Although Croatia is one goal behind at this time, they have always conceded one goal first in this game, so even though they are one goal behind, Croatia can still stabilize their position.

However, the second goal conceded after the tie was the key to victory or defeat.

It is a big blow to Croatia's morale, but if Chen Yuyuan is replaced, it will be hard to say!
Why did Manchester United's Wayne Rooney play against Bayern Munich even if he was injured?
Because even if the injured Rooney can't run, he is still full of deterrence. Rooney has been replaced later, and Bayern is playing very well. In the same way, Chen Yuyuan is now a deterrent. As long as Chen Yuyuan is there, Croatia will Always be careful!

Croatian fans and players are watching the Chinese side. They don't know whether Chen Yuyuan will insist on playing, but in their minds, it is best not to insist!
Unfortunately, their ideas are destined to fail!

"China's counterattack is very fast!"

"You also saw that the Chinese team's counterattack broke through the defense line with just one person!"

"One sprint took away all the defenders, and the front was smooth. It's not that Croatia didn't defend, but Chen Yuyuan's counterattack was very fast. By the time they came back, the ball had already entered the net!"

The fans of the Chinese team chanted Chen Yuyuan's name enthusiastically, and the first half of the game was over!
The score was fixed at 2:1
The Croatian players obviously couldn't keep up with their physical fitness. Later on, the Chinese team was much smaller!

When Modric came off the field, his eyes were full of determination. When he was at the club, he and Chen Yuyuan were old rivals. Because of Chen Yuyuan, Real Madrid missed the Champions League several times!
Either in the finals or in the middle!
This time it can be said that the old and new grudges have been put aside. He must lead Croatia to advance!

Advance with the Chinese team!
Other Croatian players obviously think so too!
