All-around center

The Corinthians Arena was already packed with people.

Looking around, there are dense crowds of Dutch fans wearing orange jerseys and Croatian fans wearing red and white jerseys.

The players on both sides were separated by isolation tapes, and there were military and police guards in the middle. Therefore, there was no turmoil caused by direct contact, but the fans on both sides continued to curse each other and taunt each other.

In this case, the atmosphere is gradually reaching a climax, and the smell of gunpowder is gradually increasing.

At this time, the crowd turned to look at the entrance in the distance, and saw a bus slowly approaching.

The bus arrived at the stadium escorted by three police cars and two police cavalry. Judging from the style of the bus, it was undoubtedly the Croatian national team.

At this moment, the Croatian fans in the audience were also excited.

They first cheered and shouted, and after various cheering slogans, the fans who followed spontaneously shouted the name of the star they were most looking forward to.

It started with a few scattered people, gradually spread, and eventually evolved into a unified cry from the entire audience.

Suk! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

Suk! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

Suk! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

The shouts of tens of thousands of people, the heat and anticipation can really be felt.

Suk, who was in the bus, gradually became excited from the waves of cheers.

The bus passed through the crowd, entered the underground passage of the stadium, and finally stopped at the entrance.

"It's time for us to get out of the car!"

Besic stepped off the bus first, and other players followed suit.

At the entrance, there were many invited media. Although there was no way to interview them, it was enough to be able to shoot this scene.

Various live cameras were aimed at the Croatian players, and the flash lights were connected together to continuously film this scene.

The World Cup has entered the semi-finals, and it can be said that the enthusiasm has reached its peak.

Besides, the semi-finals are a strong dialogue.

Croatia faces the Netherlands, which is the highlight of this World Cup.

One is the Orange Army, the Netherlands, which slaughtered the defending champion and reached the semi-finals with a fiery performance.

The other one is steady and step-by-step. Even when facing the powerful Brazil, it can gradually control the rhythm and completely kill the Eastern European cavalry of the game - Croatia!

The collision between these two teams can be regarded as one of the most high-quality matches in this World Cup.

The camera turned around and finally focused on Su Ke.

He is wearing a red and white sports jersey training suit, his hair is meticulously styled, and there is a hint of seriousness on his cheerful face. Obviously this game is very important to Suker and Croatia. For this reason, his expression also shows a solemn look. .

As the World Cup progresses, many people are paying great attention to whether Suker and Croatia can win this World Cup.

After all, they know very well that once they win this World Cup, it will play a huge role in their historical status.

In addition to Suker, Messi is also one of them.

However, in terms of club and personal honors, Su Ke is even better. For this reason, many people are looking forward to whether Su Ke can completely establish his position in this World Cup.

At the same time, various reports about Su Ke are constantly spreading to the world.

As Croatia advanced to the semi-finals, the publicity surrounding Florentino's promise spread overwhelmingly, boosting Suker and building momentum for him.

Under deliberate guidance, even the fans believed that if Suker won this World Cup, he would be enough to win the title of 'Ball King'.

Entering the locker room, the Croatian players prepared for the game.

There was still some warm-up time left, so Su Ke went straight to the physical therapy area and lay down on the bed, letting the physical therapist relax his muscles with his massage.

Although there is not much problem with Suk's muscles, it will be more beneficial to the game after relaxing.

On the side, Mandzukic was receiving a masseuse, groaning a little.

It is normal for athletes to accumulate lactic acid, and they have become accustomed to the feeling of expelling lactic acid and will not grunt like Mandzukic.

The only explanation is.

"There is some inflammation in the ankle!"

The physiotherapist makes the judgement.

Mandzukic grinned; "It's not serious, I can hold on until the end of the game."

Besic also came after hearing the sound.

He frowned and looked at Mandzukic and said: "Don't hold on. Holding on will only drag down your teammates. If you are injured, rest!"

Hearing this, Mandzukic quickly shook his head: "I'm not injured, really! There is just some inflammation. This is not inflammation. It should be regarded as a recurrence of the old injury, but it is not serious. It will always hurt for a day or two, and soon That’s it.”

He continued to explain hastily: "Don't worry about it, there are only two games left. If you don't let me play, this will be more uncomfortable than killing me!"

Besic pursed his lips and turned to call the team doctor.

The team doctor began to examine Mandzukic's ankle.

"Does it hurt?"

The team doctor asked, breaking his ankle.

"It must hurt if you break it off like that!" Mandzukic grimaced in pain.

"What about this?" The team doctor changed his perspective again.

Mandzukic then breathed a sigh of relief: "It doesn't hurt!"

The team doctor nodded: "It's not serious, but if you want to play, you must protect your ankle. Otherwise, once the force is released, the ankle will suddenly lose its support, causing more troublesome problems."

After listening to the team doctor's explanation, Besic nodded and said: "Fix his ankle."

After that, he patted Mandzukic on the shoulder again: "There are two games left, hold on!"

Mandzukic will not leave the game if he can, not to mention this is the semi-finals and finals. The lack of the main force is a big variable, and he cannot afford it.

Mandzukic breathed a long sigh of relief.

After Besic left, Su Ke turned around and said, "Is everything okay?"

"It's nothing!" Mandzukic replied firmly, and then added: "Even if something happens, I have to play in a closed game. It's the final. If you let me rest at this time, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"

Suk breathed out and gave a thumbs up: "Be careful during the game. I will assist you if I have a chance!"

Mandzukic grinned: "I'm just waiting for your words!"

Suker has now set a new World Cup scoring record. It cannot be said that he has no desire to score goals. It can only be said that this is no longer the most important thing.

Winning the game and reaching the finals is the most important thing.

For this reason, if Mandzukic is in a better position than him or has a chance, Suker will not be stingy with assists.

At the same time, if necessary, he will also create space for his teammates and use his attraction to the opponent's defense to continuously create opportunities for his teammates.

"Okay guys, it's time for us to warm up!"

Srna stood up and clapped his hands.

The players stood up one after another and followed Srna's voice out of the tunnel.

The moment the players entered the stadium, the fans burst into loud cheers.

The major commentators are also excitedly giving pre-game introductions.

"This is the stage for the 2014 World Cup semi-finals, Croatia versus the Netherlands!"

"That's right! We've reached the semifinals again!"

Krausiewicz's voice was extremely hearty, and the pride from the inside out could be heard through his voice.

Since the beginning of Davor Suker, Croatia seems to have set off waves of football frenzy.

And now it has reached its peak.

For Croatian fans, this is the one they are most looking forward to. They don’t know why they think so, but looking at these young guys, they feel full of confidence.

This group of people was famous for performing miracles during their time at Dinamo Zagrab.

Afterwards, although they moved to different competition areas, they interpreted the saying "Things are scattered and stars are all over the sky" very thoroughly.

And when they get together this time, it will definitely be a raging fire, this is the legendary fire!

Croatian fans firmly believe that this is a group of people who create miracles.

"Finally here!"

In the VIP room, Dawo Suk took a deep breath nervously.

Compared to usual, he was more nervous at this moment.

After all, this is the semifinals!

They failed to overcome the hurdles that these young people also failed to overcome four years ago.

Now, they challenge again. This time, they are more mature and experienced.

Others, such as Durban and Stimac, are also very nervous.

The World Cup semi-finals have a special meaning for them, or they have a special meaning for Croatia.

Being able to take this step means whether they can create a miracle for Croatia!

"The Netherlands is not easy to play, we must be cautious!"

"I feel like we still need to defend and counterattack!"

"Be steady, that's right!"

This group of retired old guys were all very nervous, but they still expressed their thoughts in different ways.

As the uncrowned king of the World Cup, the Netherlands' strength is something that no longer needs to be confirmed.

Moreover, the Netherlands is also the originator of tactics. Various tactical systems are derived from the Netherlands' total offense and total defense.

For example, Spain's tradition is based on the football theory of the Dutch Cruyff combined with local Spanish characteristics.

Another example is the high-position pressing that is popular today, which is also the product of total attack and total defense tactics.

The Netherlands has made outstanding contributions to the development of football tactics, and it also shows that they are strong enough.

"Hey! What are you doing!" Dawo Suk said dissatisfiedly; "This is not the time to badmouth us because we are not strong anymore?"

He wasn't used to seeing his old teammates praising the Netherlands one by one.

"It's not flattery!" Boban grinned and sighed; "It's just that these young men pay enough attention to it. If something goes wrong, the Netherlands has the ability to completely kill the game."

In this regard, Dawo Suk was also speechless.

Boban is right!

When masters exchange moves, one move is often fatal.

So is football!

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

In a strong-power dialogue, after one party gains an advantage, it is very difficult for the disadvantaged party to regain it.

There are many reversal legends in football, but the reason why legends are legends is because based on the base of all games, the probability of this is pitifully low.

What’s more, it’s a strong conversation!

For this reason, the handling at the beginning of the game is very important!

"They have their own ideas." Dawo Suk said solemnly; "We just need to cheer for them!"

In fact, Dawo Suk is also afraid!

Croatia is going so smoothly!

In this World Cup, Croatia has not lost a single game and has not even drawn a single match.

They walked so smoothly that Dawo Suk became a little scared.

I'm afraid that these guys will be complacent and eventually ruin the good situation in vain.

Although he knew that these people would not be like this, everything was an accident, so who could say for sure?

The warm-up session is over and the players from both sides return to the locker room.

When Rakitic walked into the locker room, he was whistling and looking leisurely.

There was nothing particularly weird about the other people's expressions.

"It's strange. I was very nervous during the warm-up, but now that it's time to compete, I'm not nervous anymore!" Vukojevic said strangely, twisting his shoulders.

Others also looked at each other. I can't say that everyone is like this, but most of them feel this way.

Don't be nervous!

My mind is extremely clear!

The thinking of the game is very thorough, and even the body's reaction is much more sensitive.

"It's in good shape!"

Suk also twisted his body, feeling like he couldn't wait to play.

The combination of these factors tells them that they are in very good condition!

Besic explained the tactics one last time. In fact, there was not much to say. They were already familiar with this kind of thing.

Srna stood up and said loudly:

"Guys, the game is about to begin. I want to tell you, let's stop being supporting roles, let's stop supporting others, win this game and reach the finals." Srna clenched his fists hard: " Let’s create a new era!”

Hearing this, the teammates’ blood boiled instantly.

Now that they have reached the semi-finals, they will give everything they have without reservation, for the victory of this game and for the four million fans and people in Croatia who follow them.

"Ready to fight!"

Srna yelled, and the Croatian players walked out of the locker room.

In the player tunnel, the Croatian players arrived first.

Soon, Dutch players followed suit.

Both sides stood on both sides with their eyes lowered, obviously thinking about the game.

Outside the stadium, the on-site DJ organized the fans to shout slogans, and the entire stadium was churning like hot lava.

Waves of cheers were like drum beats constantly hitting the hot hearts of the players on both sides.

As the shouts (drum beats) became more intense and faster, their hearts beat faster.

Finally, the referee turned his head and said solemnly: "Get ready to go out!"

"Ha~~~!!"

"come on!!"

"Must win!!"

"Winning the game!!"

Players from both sides were yelling and cheering for themselves and their teammates in various ways.

As players from both sides entered the stadium, exciting songs filled the scene, and the melody of the Brazil World Cup theme song floated in the air, further stimulating the fans.

And when the players appeared on the big screen, the scene erupted into violent cheers.

The final scene is fixed on Suk.

The cheers at the scene were like rolling waves of anger and lasted for a long time.

"Suk!! The most watched player in this game is also the most watched star in this World Cup!"

"In the previous round, he had already completed the World Cup scoring record and became the player with the most goals in the World Cup, and he may still continue to refresh this data!"

"There is no doubt that Suker is the best striker in the entire World Cup!"

"If the Netherlands wants to defeat Croatia, they will have to find ways to limit Suker. However, Croatia is not the only threat to Suker. The Netherlands needs to consider this carefully!"

The starting lineups of players from both sides are as follows:

Croatia (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Subasic.

Defenders: Srna, Vida, Lovren, Planic.

Midfielder: Perisic, Vukojevic, Rakitic, Modric, Suker.

Forward: Mandzukic.

Netherlands (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper; Cillessen.

Defenders: Verhacher, Vlaar, De Vrij, Blind.

Midfielder: Kuyt, De Jong, Wijnaldum.

Forwards: Robben, Sneijder, Robin van Persie.

"Van Gaal finally abandoned his three-centre-back system in this game. Obviously, facing Croatia's forward threat, he did not dare to use three central-backs."

"Returning to the four-back formation, the midfield and frontcourt are all in an inverted triangle position."

"De Jong serves as the single defensive midfielder and is responsible for the connection between the midfield and the backcourt. Sneijder stands in the tenth position behind the striker and is responsible for the offensive and defensive rhythm of the entire game!"

"However, considering the previous offensive mode of the Netherlands, it may still depend on Robben's breakthrough on the wing!"

"So, this game is a great test of Croatia's defensive ability on the left wing. Can veteran Planic withstand the impact from Robben!"

"Of course, the defensive pressure on the Dutch side is also huge, especially on their right wing, which is Croatia's left wing, where Suker is!"

"It can be said that the Netherlands and Croatia have their main offensive lines on one side, which shows that they will have a very fierce confrontation on this side!"

"Whoever can take the lead in capturing the offensive rhythm point on this side and expand the advantage to the midfield and frontcourt, then the balance of victory will tip to which side!"

"I admire Van Gaal's courage. Even though Suker was on the left wing of Croatia, he still chose to show off his sword and compete with Croatia on the same wing for rhythm!"

"There is no doubt that this game will be head-to-head, and the confrontation and competition will be very fierce!"

At this time, players from both sides have completed the opening ceremony.

The captains on both sides also completed guessing sides.

Croatia took the lead in the first half.

Suker was jumping in the center circle, and the Dutch players stared at Suker.

Every time this guy jumped, they felt their hearts beating with him.

Undoubtedly, Suker's threat level was the highest in this game and even in this World Cup.

Speaking of personal threat ability alone, almost no one can compare with Suker!

For this reason, if the Netherlands wants to defeat Croatia, how to limit Suker is a very critical issue.

Although so far, the tactics against Suker have almost all ended in failure.

But now they can only bite the bullet and try!

Who told them to play against Croatia.

However, the World Cup has entered the semi-finals, which team is easy to play again.

Germany, Argentina, the Netherlands, Croatia!

Each team has a very complete tactical system that can play out its own advantages.

It depends on who can better control the game situation.

The game is about to start, and the other two semi-final teams, Germany and Argentina, are also paying attention to this game.

Their game will be held tomorrow, and it will be good for them to feel the atmosphere of the semi-finals in advance.

At the same time, they can further examine the status of the final opponents.

Netherlands or Croatia?

After this game, the first team to reach the finals will be born!
