Chapter 622: Point creation + penalty kick (please subscribe for the third update!)

"Oops!"

At the Spanish coaching bench, coach Aragones was biting his nails and looking solemn.

From the beginning of the game, Croatia's high press completely disrupted their passing and control.

Spain's attack is a ground attack and needs to be advanced slowly.

This requires cooperation in the midfield and frontcourt, and even stability in the rear.

For this reason, they appear even more weak when facing high-position pressing.

At the same time, Spain is also pressing high, and they will immediately counterattack after losing the ball.

But Croatia's offensive mode is a counterattack.

Modric's precise long pass can maximize Suker's impact.

At the same time, Rakitic, Kranjca and even the full-backs can provide Suker with the motivation to attack.

Croatia's simple and crude counterattack made Spain's defense become embarrassed.

A very threatening forward like Su Ke combined with this counterattack lineup is a big killer in front of their defense.

Under the current circumstances, Aragones can only pray that Casillas can save the penalty.

"This penalty kick was taken by Suker."

"Suker placed the ball at the penalty spot and retreated to widen the running distance."

"Suker's penalty hit rate is as high as 90%. Can Casillas withstand the pressure and save this penalty?"

The Spanish commentator felt his heart pounding.

If this penalty kick is lost, they will really have half a foot on the edge of the cliff.

Tens of thousands of fans in the audience watched.

Suk took a deep breath to calm down.

It was extremely noisy in my ears.

Cheers and boos mixed together.

One can imagine how much pressure this penalty brought to Croatian and Spanish fans.

The Croatian fans lowered their heads and clasped their hands together in prayer.

The Spanish fans also covered their eyes, they did not dare to look directly at this cruel scene.

The air in the entire stadium seemed to be frozen.

At this moment, a sharp whistle broke everything.

The whistle sounded, and Suk made a decisive start.

"Suke run!"

Kraussiewicz clenched his fists tightly.

Dawo Suk felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

Van Steyak knelt in front of the coach's bench.

In their eyes, Suk's movements seemed to be in slow motion.

The stretched body is like a roc spreading its wings, and the whole body is slightly tilted to the right. Suker uses his left foot to shoot free throws, which gives people the feeling of shooting towards the left side of the goal.

Casillas was also conflicted.

According to big data, Su Ke will shoot free throws to the right more often.

But Casillas ultimately chose to trust his instincts.

He flew directly towards the left side of the goal.

But at this moment, he saw Suk's feet gently rubbing the ball.

The ball showed an arc and fell towards the middle of the goal.

"Spoon! Spoon penalty!"

boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

The moment the ball hit the net, Suker suddenly turned around and rushed towards the corner kick.

Tens of thousands of Croatian fans were going crazy.

They had to scream with excitement.

"Spoon! At the critical moment, Suker took the most entertaining spoon penalty. Casillas was completely deceived by Suker!!"

"Suker hit the penalty kick accurately, Croatia's second goal!!"

"41 minutes, Croatia leads Spain 2:0!——"

Krauszovich shouted excitedly: "This is the closest we are to the European Cup final!"

Suker's goal made the entire stadium boil again.

Even the media reporters looked at the stadium in disbelief.

Spain was actually scored two consecutive goals by Croatia.

It's incredible.

On the other hand, for Croatia, after their second goal appeared, they had a huge advantage.

"Are you awesome?"

"Awesome!"

"Who is awesome?"

"Suke!!"

Suk was surrounded by everyone and kept howling.

At this time, Su Ke was also extremely excited.

It doesn’t matter if you are a Spanish dynasty or a Matador Legion.

When it's time to plate it, let me plate it!

Second goal!

Huge advantage in the first half!

As long as they maintain their advantage, they have great hope of winning the game.

finals!

European Cup final!

Croatia's second goal made the entire stadium lively.

Especially the Croatian fans don't know how to celebrate anymore.

They could only call Suk's name over and over again.

The Spanish players protested to the referee, asking him to rush Croatia's celebration time.

There are now 4 minutes left before the end of the first half, and they need to launch a counterattack as soon as possible.

In the last four minutes, Spain launched the most ferocious continuous attack.

Iniesta has become Spain's most powerful weapon.

When the pass failed to make a difference, he used his dribbling to continuously attack Croatia's defense.

Villa and Torres also began to gradually exert their strength.

In the 44th minute, facing Iniesta's strong breakthrough, Vukojevic had no choice but to bring the opponent down and gave Spain a set kick in the middle of the penalty area.

Faced with this set piece, Spain chose a tactical free kick, distributed the ball to the wing, and took advantage of Croatia's eagerness to force them out of the danger zone. After continuous passes, the ball was finally sent to the back point.

Villa kicked the ball past the fingers of Croatian goalkeeper Pletikosa and into the goal.

Spain got a goal back at the last minute of the first half!

"Thank God! Thanks to David Bilic, we pulled a goal back at the last moment of the first half, which was enough to make us breathe a long sigh of relief!"

"But the problem is equally serious. How should we deal with Croatia's high press in the second half? This needs to be carefully arranged by the Spanish coaching staff. If the rhythm of the first half is still the same, it will be quite detrimental to us."

Halftime.

Spanish dressing room.

"In the second half, Harvey's position was deep, and you needed to retreat more frequently to help the ball out of the backcourt. Your job should be more focused on bringing the ball out of the backcourt. When Harvey retreated, other players People must also stay in motion and always pay attention to the gaps. No one can be lazy. Once someone is lazy, we cannot create gaps!"

Spanish coach Aragones said solemnly.

The first half has proven that Senna alone cannot clear the ball.

For this reason, he can only hand over the important task to Harvey.

He believes that with Harvey's ability he can do well.

On the other side, the Croatian dressing room.

Van Steyak was also flipping through his notebook and said: "The second half is more critical. Although we are currently leading by one goal, we still cannot relax at all, especially after 70 minutes. The decline in physical fitness will definitely lead to the damage to our high press. Therefore, you cannot always be in a high position to press, but choose the right moment to press at the right time!"

"At the same time, by investing more energy on the defensive end, we cannot guarantee that Spain cannot respond effectively. For this reason, we must be more vigilant. The goal conceded in the first half has already illustrated the problem. Spain is still capable of threatening our goal. Especially after continuous high pressure and physical exhaustion, Spain will launch the most violent attack."

"Vukojevic, you have received a yellow card. You must be careful with your actions."

"Luka also needs to make a foul when necessary!"

Van Steyak methodically arranged the tactical arrangements for the second half.

Although currently leading by one goal, this is not a safe situation against Spain.

Spain has the ability to score goals at any time and has the ability to threaten the defense.

Whoops! Whoops!

Srna kept gasping for air.

This game took a lot of physical energy out of him.

Based on Croatia's tactics, he, a full-back, needs to roam up and down the sides of the court frequently. Throughout the first half, he rushed from his own bottom line to the opponent's bottom line countless times, and so on.

"How long can we last?" Van Stryak looked at Srna and asked.

"Ten minutes max."

At this time, Srna did not dare to speak out loud.

If you can't run, you can't run!

Someone needs to take over.

"Planic?" Van Stryak asked another full-back.

"Me too." Planich said.

Van Stryak nodded; "I understand, Simic will go out to warm up first and be ready to play at any time!"

He said solemnly: "The second half is very critical. The pace can be relatively slow, but you must be steady!"
