All-around center

"This shot is really hanging! We can't let Su Ke take the shot so easily. We must interfere with him when he shoots!"

The Argentine commentator wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Croatia launched a sneak attack directly after the opening. Although it failed to score, it also created a great deterrent effect for Argentina.

The Argentine players also became a little panicked based on this goal.

"Keep the ball! Gotta keep the ball!"

Higuain kept shouting.

He turned to look at Messi, his eyes full of irritation.

Originally, Messi should have done this kind of thing, but this guy kept silent from beginning to end, which also caused them to always look up and observe Messi's position when cooperating.

He won't shout and tell himself that he is in a neutral position.

Messi also frowned. Judging from Croatia's offense after the opening, it must be serious in this game.

For Argentina, they have no room for slowdown. They can only bite the bullet and fight Croatia.

Di Maria held the ball and advanced for a while. He stepped on it and distributed the ball towards Messi in the middle.

Messi receives the ball and turns around, his intention is to move towards the other side.

But the moment he turned around, Kranica had already rushed over and blocked his transfer route.

And he kept a certain distance from him and didn't let Messi get past him.

In the backcourt, Suker and others also tightly locked Messi's ball space.

Modric and Rakitic are always on standby, ready to move forward and press.

"Don't hesitate, get past him! Get past him! Leo, you can do it!"

Maradona yelled from the sidelines.

He looked a little anxious. He felt that Messi was too unconfident in playing. At this time, he should not hesitate. He should just pass the opponent like he did before, and use his personal ability to open an offensive gap for the team. .

But Messi finally passed the ball!

boom!

Seeing Messi pass the ball back to Di Maria again, Maradona slapped his thigh in anger.

Without a forward penetrating attack, how can we form corresponding propulsion capabilities.

Once Croatia slowed down the pace, Argentina became increasingly difficult to perform.

Van Steyak was also staring at the court. He nodded slightly after seeing Messi's choice.

From various data and analyses, a conclusion can be drawn.

Messi's attributes are not that strong at critical moments.

He lacks Su Ke's spirit of putting everything on the line, daring to risk everything, and believing in his own abilities.

This also results in Messi being more team-oriented.

Of course, this is not a bad thing. The degree of teamwork is high, which means that when you meet a suitable team, you can stimulate stronger abilities.

It’s just that Argentina is not Barcelona!

Messi does not have the support of Xavi and Iniesta behind him.

Di Maria saw that the attack was unable to advance, so he could only pass it directly to Tevez in front along the wing.

Tevez, the beast, has a fierce face. Although he is not tall, he has a strong body and a strong impact.

But before he started, Planic and Cholluka had already followed.

"Force him to pass back!"

Planic understands Tevez very well. He is also a Premier League player. This guy is full of energy and will definitely choose to move forward.

To this end, after blocking the path forward, he forced Tevez to take the lead in passing back.

boom!

Tevez passed back.

Immediately afterwards, Tevez immediately sprinted forward.

There was a small detail at this time. Gioluca suddenly stepped sideways and blocked Tevez's straight impact path, forcing him to make a slight circle and tending to slow down.

At the same time, Planic started immediately and rushed behind Ciorluka.

Sure enough, after Di Maria received the ball, he directly picked the ball and passed it to the position behind Joel Luca.

"guessed!"

Planic was so happy that he jumped up suddenly, shook his head and passed the ball to Simunic.

Simunic is transferred to central defender partner Kovac.

Croatia relied on a wonderful zone defense to easily limit Tevez's impact.

"Well done boys!"

Kraussiewicz kept applauding.

This time the defense reflects the characteristics of Croatia.

It's not a rash move, it's a matter of using your brain.

Planic is a full-back and played as a defensive midfielder in this game.

For this reason, he understands the pain points of full-backs very well.

With the cooperation between him and Joel Luca, they stole the ball almost effortlessly.

"here you go!"

After Modric received the ball, he gave it to Kranica on the wing.

Seeing that there was no gap for Kranica to rush forward, Suker decisively retreated to respond.

"Pass it here!"

Kranica passed the ball sideways.

Suker turned sideways to catch the ball. At this time, he could already feel Mascherano pushing him behind him.

But Suker did not fight hard. He stepped on the ball with his right foot and pretended to attack directly forward. After Mascherano moved forward, Suker pulled his center of gravity, turned in the opposite direction, and passed directly to the right, completing the transferred.

The ball ran from the densely defended left side to the right side.

The Argentinian players began to rush towards the right side.

Perisic stops the ball.

He saw Su Ke moving forward into the penalty area, but he did not choose to cross, but patiently pushed the ball diagonally backward.

Rakitic stepped forward to respond and pulled the ball in a V shape, avoiding Di Maria's pressing. At the same time, he started to pass the ball again.

The ball flew from the right to the left again.

Under the continuous offensive shifts, the Argentine players were a little confused.

"Croatia made full use of the space on both wings, constantly making transfer attempts, seeking to open up Argentina's defense."

"Of course, Croatia can also choose to pass the ball directly, but this is not very efficient, and they don't seem to want to give Argentina too much ball power!"

Argentina's lineup showed that they had to win the ball.

Therefore, when they began to be suppressed by Croatia and denied the ball, their tactics began to fail.

Kranjca tried to break from the baseline but was forced back.

Reluctantly, he passed the ball back again, and Srna received the ball in the rib area and passed it to Modric.

Modric turned to look to the right.

At this time, the attention of the Argentine defenders also shifted with Modric's observation.

At this moment, Modric looked to the right and suddenly rubbed his feet.

The ball actually went into the penalty area.

This sudden change shocked the Argentine defenders.

"Watch Sue"

Before Demichelis finished shouting, he saw Su Ke flash before his eyes.

Suk ran from right to left, faced the falling ball, raised his chest, and pushed the ball up again.

This also frustrated Demichelis's idea of ​​​​stealing, and he lost his center of gravity after being squeezed by Su Ke.

Before falling, Demikalic crawled on his hands and knees and threw his body out.

Su Ke faced the falling ball and pretended to shoot with his left foot. However, he suddenly dunked it and moved his right foot to create space for shooting again.

At this moment, there were almost no defensive players in front of Su Ke, but Su Ke did not dare to be careless. He just poked him with his toe.

The ball rolled past Argentinian goalkeeper Romero's supporting foot.

Romero desperately wanted to move his right leg. As long as he stretched it out, he could complete the save. After all, the ball speed of this shot was not fast.

But the problem was that his entire body was leaning to the right, and his center of gravity was on his right foot, so he couldn't move his foot at all.

He could only press down as hard as he could, but the ball still rolled in from the waist area.

Uh-huh!

The ball touched the net lightly.

Just 13 minutes into the game, Croatia took the lead in scoring.

Modric's pick assisted Suker's goal.

"Goal!!! Croatia scored the leading goal!"

"Wonderful offensive coordination. In the continuous transfer, Croatia did not attack from the left and right wings, but chose to attack from the center. This was something Argentina did not expect, and Suker's calm judgment in front of the goal was also crucial."

"This is a valuable goal and Croatia has taken a solid step towards their third victory in the group stage!"

"Great game! Guys, keep it up! Keep playing like this!"

Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ————

All the Croatian fans in the audience were excited.

They have to shout and cheer excitedly.

The buzzing Zula in his hand was so loud that it flew up.

Croatia's offense was very three-dimensional this time.

Continuous transfers from both sides kept forcing Argentina's defense to react.

When the gap appeared, Modric passed the ball lightly and directly hoisted the ball into the penalty area. Suker's calm performance in front of the goal was also key.

"These guys played great!"

"Modric's kick pass was so exciting."

"Suk's continuous shaking in front of the goal is also outstanding. He is so calm!"

"Hahahaha! This is the deterrent power of the Champions League + La Liga Golden Boot. Give Suker a little chance and he can turn it into a goal!"

"Forward! Croatia!"

"Come on, boys!"

Croatian fans cheered and shouted wildly towards the stadium.

At the same time, in Zaregbu, there was also excitement in front of Times Square.

Compared to the first day, more fans gathered here.

It was as if the ground was shaking as they jumped.

They raised their hands and shouted and cheered.

The flag swung back and forth in the night sky, and as the hunting trembled, the enthusiasm was further released.

Brozovic and Kovacic also hugged each other, and they celebrated excitedly with the crowd around them.

Their eyes looked towards the big screen, and under those scorching eyes, they seemed to be looking through the big screen to the stage of the World Cup in South Africa.

The outstanding performance of the Croatian national team, Suker, Modric and others not only inspires the Croatian people, but also makes countless young people in Croatia yearn for that stage.

They dreamed of wearing plaid shirts and fighting for their country.

They gathered around Suk, Modric and others and fought together!

In the stadium, Su Ke and others were still celebrating.

The Argentine players were holding their waists one by one, feeling unwilling to do so.

Conceding the ball so quickly is very unkind news for them.

With only beating Croatia to qualify, they must play better.

Messi is also struggling inside.

You have to win to qualify.

But the pressure was too great.

He was curious about how Su Ke overcame this pressure.

Come to think of it, even if he asked, Suk wouldn't tell him.

He can only use his own method.

"Hey! Guys, let's get back the score!"

Messi's rare opening surprised the Argentine players.

"Our offensive impact is strong, but we need more cooperation and more running!" Rodriguez shouted; "Let us become a whole, we still have a chance!"

The game starts again.

Snapped!

As soon as Su Ke caught the ball, someone grabbed him around the waist and pushed him down at the same time. No matter how hard Su Ke was able to turn around, he was pushed down.

"This is what you're doing!"

Suk lay on the ground, turned around and cursed.

At the same time, Argentina had begun to fight back, and the referee had no intention of calling a foul.

After Messi received the ball, he immediately turned around and pushed forward.

This pass was very clever, not too light nor too heavy, and it just deceived Simunic, and the ball passed between the two Croatian central defenders.

"Oh~~~~~Through ball!! Higuain! Can he seize the opportunity!"

Higuain struggled to chase the ball, and beside him, Srna played hard.

Higuain didn't want to lose this opportunity. He faced the ball and shot directly.

At the moment he was about to shoot, Srna accelerated his feet and gave Higuain a confrontation.

The confrontation when the shot is approaching is the most deadly!

boom!

The ball was directly kicked into the stands.

Higuain failed to seize this opportunity.

"Higuain!! He failed to seize this opportunity. Argentina missed an opportunity to equalize the score!"

Srna got up from the ground and roared at Simunic and Kovac.

"What are you doing? Just let him stuff the ball? Don't give up the ball! Make a clearance! Just make a clearance! Be sure to communicate well!"

Argentina's offense cannot be underestimated.

In the original time and space, these guys reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup.

Even with serious uncoordinated offensive and defensive abilities, they were still able to enter the quarterfinals, which means that Argentina has a strong offensive ability.

And this time it was very concrete.

A reasonable and sharp counterattack, Messi's through ball was just right. If Srna hadn't been following up and defending, this ball would have been dangerous.

And on the defensive end.

Unable to use conventional means to restrict Su Ke, these guys started to take action.

As long as Su Ke holds the ball, they must be directed at people.

Argentina made full use of the rules, that is, foul tactics.

What's more, the referee's penalty in this game seemed to be a little loose.

"Argentina has been testing the game before. After seeing that the referee did not show any cards for several fouls, they started to act unscrupulously!"

Van Steyak narrowed his eyes slightly, ran to the sideline and said a few words to Srna.

Sirna nodded repeatedly.

After Van Stryak returned, Bilic asked:

"What did you say?"

At the same time, this scene was also captured on camera.

"Bilic asked the assistant coach to communicate with Srna, obviously in response to the foul committed by Argentina just now." Krauszovich nodded: "Bilic's sense of smell is still very sensitive. The on-the-spot command during the European Cup and the qualifying matches was very crucial!”

During the game, Croatia once again pushed the ball into the frontcourt. As soon as Suker got the ball, he was double-teamed by Mascherano and Rodriguez.

The two of them pulled and pulled Su Ke, and even kicked Su Ke's ankle, eventually forcing Su Ke to lose the ball.

"Son of a bitch!"

Suk was so angry that he immediately got up from the ground.

Just when he was about to rush back for revenge, a voice suddenly rose into the air from ahead.

boom! !

Messi fell heavily to the ground.

Srna made a fierce sliding tackle and directly knocked Messi to the ground with the ball.

"Playing dirty, right? Come! Are we afraid?!" Srna lowered his head and angrily shouted at Messi.

At the same time, he turned his head and glanced at the referee, the intent of his eyes was very straightforward.

‘If you keep judging like this, I will keep shoveling! ’

As the captain, Srna cannot watch his teammates suffer.

Since you want to play dirty, I will accompany you until the end.

I am a defender from Serie A!

At Juventus and Inter Milan, he has experienced the careful training of those veteran players. He knows how to commit fouls and apply pressure very well.

The referee rushed over and immediately showed Srna a yellow card.

"damn it!"

"What are you doing?"

The Croatian players immediately gathered around.

Suker, Modric and others gathered around the referee to put pressure on the referee, while Srna was pulling people.

The scene became very chaotic.

From this penalty, they understood that there was a certain bias in the whistle.

This is not necessarily a case of collusion between Argentina and the referee.

But it may be that FIFA does not want to see Argentina eliminated, so it creates a stumbling block for Croatia.

On the sidelines, Bilic also roared at the fourth official.

In the stands, the boos of the Croatian fans and the cheers of the Argentinian fans intertwined, making the scene extremely chaotic.

In the end, the penalty remained unchanged.

Srna received a yellow card.

Argentina received a well-positioned set-piece opportunity.

"Damn it! The home whistle isn't even that extreme!"

Suk touched his aching ankle.

I've been kicked so many times, nothing happened.

A foul on Croatia's side resulted in an immediate yellow card.

There's nothing fucking fishy about it, who would believe it!

"Human wall! Human wall! Put up a human wall!"

Suk called to his teammates to set up a human wall.

Messi stood at the set-piece spot, preparing to take a free throw.

This position is quite dangerous. It is just near the top of the penalty area on the right side and has already entered Messi's shooting range.

Under the gaze of countless fans, Messi started a free throw.

boom!

The ball flew towards the nearest goal post in an arc.

There is a sharp tendency to fall towards the goal.

Croatian goalkeeper Pletikosa made as many saves as possible, but still failed to stop the penalty kick.

Uh-huh!

The ball hit the net.

Argentina finally equalized the score in the 31st minute.

The entire Argentine fans were jubilant, and the Argentine players were also celebrating.

But the eyes of the Croatian players were full of anger.

Suker also squinted his eyes and looked at Argentina's goal.

If you are shameless, I will kick you until you have no shame!
