All-around center

Wow! ! ! ! ——

There was also a cry of surprise from the Croatian bench.

Kovacic, Brozovic and other young Croatian talents all grinned and showed a hint of amazement.

As we all know, when shooting, the direction of the toes is very important, especially when shooting with force, the toes facing the goal can make the shot more accurate.

But Suker's shooting method is completely unconventional!

His toes did twist towards the goal post, and he stopped with his ankle turned 90 degrees and shot with his ankle bent.

It's easy to say, but most players can't do it at all.

First of all, if you kick like this, your ankle will be useless!

This requires strong physical fitness!

Secondly, if you don't have superb shooting skills, this shot can't be bent at all.

For this reason, the difficulty of this shot can be imagined.

"Can you do it?" Brozovic looked at Kovacic.

Kovacic's skills and shooting skills are good.

But Kovacic rolled his eyes; "Do I not want my ankle?"

He dared to guarantee that his ankle would be useless after doing this.

Only with the strong physical fitness of Suker could he kick such a heaven-defying reverse angle shot!

What's more, after Suker shot, he did not actively fall to the ground in the direction of running to relieve the force.

Instead, all the pressure was absorbed by the ankle. It would be fine once or twice, but if it happens a few more times, it will definitely be useless!

Not only the Croatian players, but also the Belgian players looked at each other in bewilderment.

This guy can still kick a reverse angle. If the angle is more positive, they will lose the ball.

"Foul! Foul!"

Vermaelen said anxiously; "Take him down, don't let him shoot!"

Suker didn't know what this guy was shouting, but he didn't need to think to know that it was not a good thing.

He retreated all the way, and there was no space at the close point for the previous shot, so Suker could only temporarily shoot a reverse angle.

This kind of shooting choice is very harmful to the ankle. If it weren't for the state recovery card, Suker would not dare to play like this.

Back to the half court, Suker also twisted his ankle slightly.

Other Croatian players also became eager to try.

The early test is basically over, and they have figured out Belgium's offensive rhythm and choices.

Suker's attack this time is a signal, and next, they will continue to exert pressure.

"Hazard break through again!"

After the game started again, Hazard played the role of a lone hero.

This guy rushed all the way on the wing, and after going down the bottom, he couldn't find a passing point, so he started to run back.

Srna is also patient, he didn't kick, just chased the opponent.

Hazard is almost annoyed with Srna!

How much he hopes Srna will kick or steal and reveal a flaw, so that he can get rid of or break through.

But Srna sticks to him and chases him.

From the wing to the bottom line, from the bottom line to the rib area, just hold on to him.

When Vukojevic was about to arrive, Hazard could only pass the ball.

After passing the ball, Hazard complained; "Come on! What are you doing?"

Hazard's complaint did not have a very good effect, after all, some people did not understand what he was saying.

Belgium passed the ball and they lost the ball again.

So far, they have not attempted a single shot.

On the other hand, after Croatia intercepted the ball, Vukojevic did not look for Modric, but immediately passed the ball to Rakitic.

The moment Rakitic stopped the ball, Modric rushed forward from the rib area.

Rakitic did not rush to pass the ball, but waited for a while.

Waiting for Modric to rush to the dangerous position, he attracted Gillet's attention.

At this time, Suker ran sideways, and Rakitic passed the ball to Suker.

Suker received the ball steadily and began to dribble along the penalty area line.

At this moment, Belgium was in danger again.

After Suker's incredible reverse angle shot just now, Courtois didn't even dare to get close to the point, and could only let his teammates block it.

At this moment, Suker pretended to shoot.

"Block him!"

"Block it!"

Vermaelen and Kompany slid to block it from the left and right, but Suker gently put down his right foot to step on the ball, stabilized his body, and rubbed his left foot again.

The ball flew over Vermaelen's head and flew into the penalty area.

"Oh no!"

Vermaelen was shocked.

At this time, Mandzukic rushed out horizontally, he unloaded the ball with his belly, and when the ball bounced off the ground, he shot it with his right foot.

With a half-volley, the ball quickly flew towards the goal.

Because the distance was too close, Courtois made a save, but failed to intercept the ball, and could only watch the ball go into the goal.

"GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--"

"Mario Mandzukic!! Suker assisted Mandzukic to score the first goal!"

"Excellent running and coordination, Suker's lob pass was just right."

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--

At the Maksimir Stadium, tens of thousands of Croatian fans were cheering.

After 20 minutes of the game, they finally scored a goal.

A wonderful counterattack goal, decisive and wonderful running, Suker's fake shot and real pass.

And this time, Mandzukic did not disappoint Suker and seized the opportunity.

Together they scored their first goal!

"Is my shot cool?"

Mandzukic hugged Suker and laughed happily.

He felt that Suk had changed a bit.

If it were before, this guy would rather miss than pass the ball to himself.

But now, Su Ke plays more reasonably and more skillfully.

If Su Ke had forced a shot just now, there might have been a chance, but the chance was slim.

The best option is to pass the ball to Mandzukic who is in a better position.

Mandzukic lamented the changes in Suker!

Suk also smiled happily.

He is willing to assist!

Because the time for him to prove himself with goals has passed.

For Su Ke now, winning is the key compared to brushing up statistics.

On the sidelines, Besic and Van Steyak were also applauding.

Both of them had happy smiles on their faces.

This smile comes from the heart. When they look at Su Ke's changes, they seem to see a stubborn child who always made them worry about before, and now he has grown into an excellent leader.

Amid the roaring applause and cheers, the Croatian players ended their celebration. After this goal, the situation was completely opened up.

Belgium will play more passively.

The game started again, and Belgium's offense really became impetuous, wanting to score goals as soon as possible.

They lobbed the ball into the penalty area, but Duimovic and Vida pushed it out every time.

Especially Duimovic, this guy's judgment on landing is very accurate.

Especially because the head is big and the area is large, it is very comfortable to hold it on top.

"mine!!"

Duimovic jumped up suddenly, got ahead of Dembele, and cleared the ball.

Croatia started to push forward and the whole team pressed forward.

The defense also moved into the midfield position, and Belgium's frontline was under even greater pressure.

After several consecutive attacks, Belgium finally got the ball away from Kompany.

"Fight back!"

Kompany yelled.

Dembele also immediately rushed towards the ball, but just as he was about to touch the ball, a voice appeared from the side, knocking Dembele directly to the ground like a bull.

"mine!"

Duimovich seemed to be transformed into a bull devil, overturning the opponent's forward, and at the same time facing the ball, he shot directly from a long distance.

From a distance of more than 30 meters, the ball hit the goal like a cannonball.

Courtois's pupils shrank, he immediately took a few steps back, jumped back, stretched out his hand desperately, and lifted the ball over the crossbar with his fingertips!

"Oh~~~The quality of this long-range shot is really high. Of course, Courtois's save was also very timely, otherwise Belgium would have been further extended the score!"

Seeing his world wave being pushed out, Duimovich stamped his feet in anger.

"It's just a little bit close!"

Others looked at each other in confusion, remembering Duimovich's previous words.

‘Central defender with knife! ’

"Tommy's performance is very stable!"

Van Steyak said with a smile that Duimovic's outstanding performance was another big surprise in this game.

Besic nodded; "However, there are problems. His performance is good. This is due to Vukojevic's protection and the suppression of the Belgian midfielder!"

"If we switch to Spain's pass-and-control style of play, the combination of Vida and Duimovic will be directly defeated by the opponent!"

Van Stryak; "Sildenfeld can be used as his replacement when the time comes."

Sildenfeld can be considered a very good player with all-purpose defensive attributes.

It can make up for the shortcomings of a bulky central defender who is slow to turn.

"That's right!" Besic also nodded; "With the rotation between Sildenfeld, Lovren, Duimovic and Vida, the central defender position is considered stable!"

After three years, Besic finally built a defense combination of his own.

This defense combination is not necessarily top-notch!

But they can make up for each other's shortcomings, and they can also be used flexibly to deal with various events and players.

With Srna's command, Croatia's defense will not become a steel defense, but it will not hold back the entire team.

"Halftime is almost here!" Besic said, "Prepare your tactics for the second half!"

The first half of the game ended quickly.

Once Croatia took the lead, they controlled the tempo and played steadily.

Belgium played in a chaotic manner. Although they wanted to equalize the score, they were never able to launch a threatening attack.

The forward transmission is even more lacking!

In the second half, Belgium will inevitably put in more changes in the midfield.

During the halftime break, players from both teams return to their respective halves.

The Croatian players were refreshed. The game was almost going according to their rhythm. They had a high ball possession rate and played proactively. They played happily and were in a good mood.

Mandzukic is still showing off his goals.

Suk also felt that this guy was a little pitiful.

Serve yourself in the national team!

Serving Ronaldo at the club!

A good high center forward turned into a fulcrum center, and it was a pure fulcrum type. He was very happy even if he scored a goal.

"The original rhythm was maintained in the first 20 minutes of the second half, and substitutions were made at 65 minutes. The overall focus was on control and defense."

Besic issued tactical instructions.

Everyone nodded to express their understanding.

20 minutes of attack time was enough for them to score another goal.

In the first half, if it wasn't for the purpose of stabilizing the situation and playing more steadily, Croatia could still attack strongly.

"Belgium should make some changes in the second half, and this change will appear more in the midfield!" Besic predicted; "At that time, our midfield will still maintain the original routine."

After that, Besic turned his head and said; "Kovacic and Brozovic go warm up!"

The two young players jumped up immediately and walked out of the locker room excitedly to warm up.

Warming up now means that they have a chance to play in the second half.

Second half, 50 minutes.

Only five minutes after the start of the second half, Belgium couldn't help but make substitutions.

It's really hard to attack, and a player who pushes forward is needed.

Belgium replaced two people at once.

Fold and Dembele left the court.

Fellaini and De Bruyne came on the court.

Seeing Belgium's substitutions, Croatia was stunned.

Besic looked puzzled.

What kind of substitution is this?

It is reasonable for De Bruyne to play. His excellent and imaginative passes can drive the offense well.

Especially with Dembele's speed and forward ability, this is even better.

It can be said that De Bruyne's appearance can activate Dembele.

But the Belgian coach replaced Dembele.

Let's talk about Fellaini, this player is also very good and has a strong header ability.

But his role overlaps with Benteke's!

Both are good at headers!

And they are on the same side!

What is this?

He put on an offensive midfielder, which is considered a turret, and then he replaced Dembele and got rid of the shells himself!

Then focus on the ability to compete for headers and want to make crosses from the side?

Hazard's dribbling is excellent, but don't forget that Croatia's right back is Srna!

It is difficult to get a cross opportunity from Srna's defense!

Moreover, in order to defend against Belgium's crosses, Croatia released Vida and Dujmovic, two central defenders who compete for headers.

This is a stubborn head!

I don't know how I died!

Sure enough, the problem was soon exposed.

In the 55th minute, De Bruyne made a wonderful arc pass.

The arc that looked like a rainbow made Croatian commentator Klausevich exclaim "Rainbow pass".

But the problem was that Dembele was substituted.

Benteke's speed was not enough. Just as he was about to catch up with the ball, the ball was first tackled by Vida.

A chance to break through was wasted in vain.

In the 60th minute, Belgium put Hazard in the frontcourt to replace Dembele.

Suker saw this scene and rolled his eyes.

See if De Bruyne will pass the ball to Hazard!

Sure enough, De Bruyne seemed to not see Hazard and just didn't pass it!

And Hazard quickly lost himself in the frontcourt and was completely silent.

On the other hand, Croatia took advantage of a corner kick in the 63rd minute, and Suker headed in the penalty area to score.

Croatia 2:0 Belgium!

Further expand the score!

65 minutes.

Croatia substitution!

Mandzukic and Radosevic left the field.

Kovacic and Brozovic came on as substitutes.

Suker moved to the center position, and Croatia assembled five midfielders.

Kovacic, Vukojevic, Rakitic, Modric, Brozovic.

Plus Suker at the center position.

These people all have the ability to dribble with the ball.

In their smooth passing and control, Belgium gradually lost itself, and the game basically lost suspense.

"A bad substitution by the Belgian coaching staff led to the current passive situation!"

The Belgian commentator was also puzzled.

Why replace Dembele? He can obviously form a cooperation with De Bruyne, and with Hazard, they can pose a threat on the left wing.

Today's Belgium plays clumsy.

I thought it was the original England in a Belgian shell.

This is just a long pass!

In the 85th minute, Suker was also substituted.

Suker was no longer needed in this game, so it didn't matter if he was substituted.

Watching Suker leave the field, De Bruyne had a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

He had intended to play well, but his pass failed to open up any offensive channels.

Belgium also failed to get a better chance with his pass.

Finally, the 90-minute game was over.

De Bruyne looked at the field blankly. This game was played very badly.

There were too many problems such as wrong tactical arrangements, chaotic substitutions, etc.

When they faced Croatia, they couldn't even play a few effective counterattacks and threatening attacks.

De Bruyne also felt very disappointed about his not-so-outstanding performance.

Just as De Bruyne walked towards the player tunnel in disappointment, a voice sounded beside him.

"Hey! De Bruyne!"

De Bruyne looked up blankly, and he was surprised to find that Suker was walking towards him.

"Your passes are very good." Suker smiled and pointed at De Bruyne; "Do you want to change your jersey?"

"Of course!" De Bruyne took off his jersey and handed it to Suker without saying a word.

After the two exchanged jerseys, De Bruyne quickly asked, "Do you know me?"

"Of course I know, you performed very well in the Champions League and your passing was great!"

Listening to Suker's praise, De Bruyne said a little embarrassedly, "I learned how to pass from you!"

Now, Suker was embarrassed.

"You pass better!"

Although here, he is the original version!

But Suker knew in his heart that the guy in front of him was the original one who developed the arc and ground slash.

"Come on!"

Suker said simply and turned away immediately.

There was nothing more to talk about, and De Bruyne was not a talkative person, so Suker left decisively.

Looking at Suker leaving, De Bruyne unfolded Suker's jersey, his eyes full of joy.

He changed Suker's jersey.

This is the only gain from this game!

Not far away, Hazard stared at De Bruyne and the speed of going away, gritting his teeth, full of dissatisfaction.

It was obviously he who wanted to exchange jerseys with Suker, but the white boy got there first.

Hazard turned away angrily.

"What a nasty guy!"

The first match of the World Cup European qualifiers is over.

Croatia beat Belgium 2:0, and this game once again demonstrated Croatia's strong fighting power after the European Cup.

The 2010 World Cup is the first time after all!

They lack experience!

But this time, in the 2014 World Cup, Croatia is more competitive and their desire for the World Cup has become stronger!
