All-around center

Belarus defender Kashevsky looked at Suker celebrating in the corner, and his heart was full of powerlessness.

Judging from the confrontation just now, he had tried his best to block Su Ke, but he still failed to effectively restrict him.

Can't hold it back!

Can't push it!

Su Ke's judgment of the landing point is so accurate. Facing such a top striker, split-second judgment is particularly important.

But the current situation is that they are completely unable to keep up with the counterattack rhythm of Suker and even Croatia.

too fast!

After the counterattack begins, in just 2-3 kicks, it can threaten the goal or even score a goal.

Their players didn't even get to track back before they conceded the ball.

Belarus was assigned to Group Six of the World Cup qualifiers, which included Croatia and England.

This in itself is something that makes them feel extremely desperate.

England's performance stands out.

And with Suker, Croatia, a team that just won the European Cup, is even stronger.

Kashevsky didn't want to admit his weakness, but when facing Su Ke, he had to admit that there was a huge gap between the two.

"Suke! The final word!"

"The timing of this header and the action during the confrontation were just right. Belarus was completely unable to restrict Suker. This is Croatia's super striker!"

Croatian commentator Krausiewicz shouted loudly.

"After Suker returned to the league, he seemed not to be affected by injuries at all, but our hearts are still full of worries. This rising Croatian superstar will be ruined by injuries, but now we have seen this goal After the ball, we believe that Suker is still the same Suker, look! How good he plays!"

Krawsiwicz's voice reaches every corner of Croatia through television sets. At the same time, it was the Croatian fans who made the most violent noises.

A healthy Sukkah is the best reward for Croatia!

In the 2008 European Cup, they won the championship!

And now, this young team is about to show their sharp claws towards the World Cup.

"It feels like our playing style has changed!"

On the sidelines, Bilic touched his chin and thought thoughtfully.

In the past, although Croatia advanced very quickly, it would not be as clean and neat as it is now.

It cannot be said that the rhythm is slow, but there is always more conduction and transfer of swing.

But now, Croatia is playing very resolutely!

This feeling is particularly strong!

"This is an additional product brought by winning the European Cup!" Van Steyak lowered his head and wrote something in his notebook. He couldn't take any time off during the game, carefully recording the status characteristics of each player.

"confidence!"

Van Steyak tapped his chest lightly and said: "In the past, we were challengers, and our mentality was more in a state of looking up. For this reason, we will play more conservatively, but after winning the European Cup After winning the championship, our mentality changed!”

"King of Europe, this in itself makes Croatia stand at the pinnacle of Europe. It can be said that we are the benchmark in Europe. Based on the recognition of the strongest team in the European Cup, this means that we do not need to adapt to the tactics of other teams. , but other teams need to adapt to our tactics to compete."

"After the European Cup, the overall confidence began to show. Rakitic, Kranica, Mandzukic and Modric all pursued a simple and efficient counterattack mode, advancing to the opponent's goal with 2-3 kicks. The fourth kick is the counterattack mode we are pursuing."

"Compared to the past, faster! Stronger! More penetrating. Before the opponent retreats, he can directly penetrate the opponent's defense. This not only requires tacit cooperation, but also requires a strong enough forward."

Vansteyak raised his head and said energetically; "And we have all of these!"

Uh-huh!

During the game, Modric turned around and immediately pushed the ball forward.

At the same time, Suker and Mandzukic crossed paths. Suker held the ball and pulled to the right, while Mandzukic pulled to the left, instantly creating a gap in the middle.

Rakitic took advantage of the situation and ran wildly.

Su Ke was in the bottom position. After making an emergency stop to break away, he immediately connected with a sweep pass.

The ball passed into the small penalty area. Before the Belarus goalkeeper could react, Rakitic pushed the ball with his foot. The ball penetrated into the front of the goal and hit the net.

In the 19th minute, Croatia scored another goal.

This goal allowed Croatia to expand their score and further strengthen their advantage.

The Belarusian players were a little confused.

They couldn't keep up with Croatia's pace at all.

It's as if the two sides are playing two kinds of football.

"What a quick counterattack!"

In the head coach's room of Real Madrid in Spain, Pellegrini looked at Croatia's counterattack efficiency on the TV and couldn't help but marvel.

Pellegrini is also a head coach who advocates defensive counterattacks. Defense is the first step, and instant counterattack is the second step.

But his counterattack was far from Croatian.

He was curious about the way the Croatian coaching staff used to advance the counterattack and allocate overall resources.

Judging from the current situation, Su Ke's impact has been fully mobilized.

For Pellegrini, Suker can certainly control various styles of offensive modes, but a pure shooter is his most ideal state.

Of course, Su Ke's style can be changed according to tactical needs.

But looking at this game, who can refuse such a strong defensive line impact of Su Ke?

However, the counterattack was not created by Su Ke alone.

Modric, Mandzukic, Rakitic, Kranica, including Vukojevic and two full-backs, all participated in the counterattack mode.

But this kind of counterattack needs a fulcrum!

It is the core of offense and defense transition.

At first, Pellegrini thought Modric was the core, and Manchester United's midfield core had this ability.

But he soon discovered that this was an effect that a single core could not produce.

The counterattack is too fast!

Although Modric also participated in the counterattack, others also had their own duties.

How to allocate these resources and form this tacit understanding is the key.

Pellegrini racked his brains to think about the key points of the problem. If this problem is solved, Real Madrid can also adapt to this template to counterattack in the future.

Pellegrini needs some time to work on it, though.

Italy, city of Milan.

Mourinho is also paying attention to this game.

He paid attention to this game purely because of Srna, and he hopes that Srna can show more offensive performance next season.

But once he saw it, he became addicted.

Croatia's defensive counterattack mode is definitely different from before.

The pace is too fast!

Coupled with the high-position pressing, it seemed like they were in control of almost the entire game.

This is not active control, but passive control!

Active control is that of Spain and Barcelona, ​​which ensures possession of the ball through constant passing and advances with it.

This is taking the initiative to control the ball!

Croatia's control was different.

They are passively controlling without the ball!

Use constant running, encirclement and interception to limit the opponent's passing routes, force the opponent into your expected position, or into a trap, and then slowly eat away at the opponent.

Two templates!

Two styles, but the same end goal.

It’s all about controlling the rhythm!

As far as Mourinho is concerned, this kind of off-ball control is more in line with his tactical thinking.

There are densely drawn lines on the notebook, many of which have pointing signs facing forward, which are being scrawled and altered, making it a mess.

But in the end, Mourinho drew two circles on Modric and Rakitic and made a mark.

"The two defensive midfielders sweep across a wide area. One of the defensive midfielders is mainly responsible for defense, and the other midfielder is responsible for organization, ball distribution, and offensive and defensive transitions. This is also Modric's job, but in order to release the pressure on Modric, for this Next to him, a Rakitic role was added, mainly responsible for delivering the ball. This is also the secret of Croatia's quick counterattack!"

"Two core release points!"

Mourinho narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped the cap of his pen on the table.

"It's not enough. Two full-backs, Srna and Planic, are playing forward."

As he spoke, Mourinho frowned.

"Running like this, is it really possible to absorb such intense physical exertion even with the ball?" Mourinho pursed his lips and complained: "Isn't this the track and field team!"
