All-around center

Returning to the football stadium again, the Croatian players seem to have become accustomed to everything here.

Under the guidance of the staff, they walked to their own locker room.

Even in the locker room, they could hear the crazy noise from the stadium outside.

The cheers, slogans and humzula's voices intertwined together, making it extremely harsh.

"This humzula is simply a scourge!"

Mandzukic patted his head.

That voice has followed them through every game since the first game.

Since the organizers and FIFA did not explicitly prohibit it, players from various countries became representatives and appealed not to carry humzula.

At first, the effect was very good, but soon, with the sound of buzzing Zula appearing in the stands of the opponent's fans, our own fans couldn't help but take it out again and hurt each other.

It can be said that without the help of venue security, this thing cannot be banned at all.

Humzula is very harmful. On the one hand, it affects performance and state. On the other hand, some players even receive psychological counseling after the game. It feels like the sound of humzula is in their ears even when they sleep.

And in this game, the voice of the buzzzula seemed extremely harsh.

German fans and Croatian fans were playing this 'instrument' crazily.

Perhaps because of the focus game and revenge game, the two teams had already started competing before the game.

As soon as the German team finished shouting slogans, the Croatian fans clamored to overthrow the German team.

The whole stand was extremely hot.

Even when the on-site commentator uses a radio microphone, he can still only shout at the top of his voice. Only in this way can the fans in front of the TV hear their voices.

"Okay, everyone is ready to go out and warm up!"

Vansteyak clapped his hands and shouted.

The Croatian players had already put on their warm-up training clothes and walked out of the locker room one after another.

At the same time, the German players also walked out of the locker room on the other side.

Players from both sides met in the tunnel and looked into each other's eyes, sparks flying for a moment.

Although there was no verbal communication, you could still feel the suppressed excitement, and the desire for victory was revealed in every player's eyes.

This also caused an undercurrent to surge between them as they looked at each other.

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

Buzz~~buzz~~buzz~~~weng~~buzz~~buzz~~

Shh! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

Snap, snap, snap, snap! !

When the players from both sides came out to warm up, the enthusiasm of the entire stadium increased again, and fans on both sides burst into loud cheers.

Even though the game hasn't started yet, the atmosphere is already at its peak.

The TV cameras also moved back and forth on the players of both sides for pre-match warm-up and analysis.

The camera focuses on Suk.

There is no doubt that he is the most talked about star in this game.

"We saw Suker! In the last game against Portugal, Suker still performed brilliantly. At the same time, he also scored the sixth goal of the World Cup and still leads the scorer list!"

"A total of four games and six goals. Suker is participating in the World Cup for the first time, but he has already begun to compete for the Golden Boot position!"

The words of the Croatian presenter were not accurate.

Currently, Suker ranks first in the scorer list and has also scored six goals.

The second place is Sneijder of the Netherlands!

Sneijder scored three goals in two games in the knockout stage, and his performance was also very exciting.

It's just that Su Ke scored twice as many goals!

The camera turned again and focused on Bastian Schweinsteiger.

He is currently the most stable member of the German team, and he also contributes his energy to the German team's offense and defense.

After Ballack retired, new-era players such as Bastian Schweinsteiger and Lahm seemed to be playing even better.

In addition, the addition of Thomas Muller, Ozil and others has further improved the overall strength, which also led to the German team showing its strong ability in this World Cup.

Of course, in the eyes of many people, the Bundesliga has not only strengthened its lineup changes, but also the emergence of many new generation technical players, which has also led to the improvement of rough parts of German football.

The Germans, who are rigorous in nature, have become more difficult to deal with in the use of tactics and games.

Croatia's side is pretty much the same as during the European Cup, with several personnel changes, and its combat effectiveness is also very good.

But Croatia has attracted a lot of attention in this World Cup. In addition to their excellent performance in the game itself and their star effect, they have made different tactical changes.

So far, Croatia has shown three different styles of tactics.

Solid defensive counterattack!

Spanish-style passing control!

Total offense and defense for the Netherlands!

With such changeable tactics, it has naturally won the attention of many fans.

"The diversity of tactics allowed Croatia to perform very well, and let's wait and see what kind of performance they will show when facing the German team in this game!"

The words of the on-site commentator floated into the VIP room.

Mendes and Mourinho are here again.

"I feel that Croatia still looks like a champion. You can see that their tactics have changed a lot. This just proves that they can come up with different tactics when facing different teams!"

After Portugal was eliminated, Mendes was very optimistic about Croatia.

Besides, if Croatia wins the championship, Vukojevic's value will increase again.

After all, Vukojevic has returned to the game. Although his current status is still not well guaranteed, he can at least play the game.

This is good news for him.

Listening to Mendes' words, Mourinho didn't take it seriously.

"Do you really think Croatia has the look of a champion?"

Mendes turned around: "Isn't it? They played so well!"

Mourinho shook his head; "Tactics do determine the direction of a game and can provide players with an advantage, but Croatia's tactics are too changeable, like a cloud floating in the sky, ethereal and a bit illusory. feel!"

Listening to Mourinho's words, Mendes blinked: "So, you think Croatia can't win the championship?"

"You can't say that." Mourinho shook his head. He changed his posture and explained; "Remember the Brazil team?"

"Before Pele appeared, Brazil's football system began to be Europeanized, and everyone was pursuing a more concise and effective way of playing. I'm not saying that this kind of thing is bad, but the most important thing is not to forget your roots!"

"What is the foundation of Brazilian football? It is elegant, it is samba, it is built on the basis of any additional skills. It can be said that this style of football runs through every corner of the entire Brazilian players' bodies and is integrated into It’s in their blood, engraved in their genes.”

"Facts also prove that the moment Pele woke up his teammates, Renga's skills once again amazed the world, and also created Brazil's two World Cup champions!"

"This is the fundamental!"

Mendes touched his chin and asked; "So what is the root of Croatia?"

Mourinho stretched out two fingers: "Hard defense and running wildly throughout the field cannot be said to be Croatia. These are characteristics possessed by the entire Slavic population."

"Just like Bosnia and Herzegovina, just like Serbia, they all have this style. The game when Bosnia and Herzegovina drew with Argentina demonstrated this style to its fullest."

“On the other hand, you can’t see this in Croatia!”

"They played the Dutch style of total offense, the Spanish style of passing and controlling, the English style of long passes, and even the Italian style of defensive counterattack, but they neglected what was their own."

"In my opinion, if you want to win the World Cup, you must return to the essence!"

"Except for Croatia, all the teams that still exist today have found their own style!"

"For example, Germany's offensive football, Spain's technical passing and the Netherlands' total offense and defense, these are their own styles."

Mendes: "But Spain also learned from the Dutch football system!"

"As you said, this is just a reference. It does not shake the fundamental technical transmission and control. Based on their own style, they absorbed the elements that are beneficial to them and regained the system. Only then was it rejuvenated, but there was no change at all, no Like Croatia, they are always imitating but they don’t have anything of their own!”

"The same goes for Germany. They lack technical players so they focus on youth training. Players such as Bastian Schweinsteiger, Ozil, Podolski and others have emerged as the times require, and there will be more and more in the future!"

After that, Mourinho asked: "Look at Croatia, do they play like an Eastern European team?"

Mendes pondered.

Croatia does tend to be more Western European in style.

Mourinho continued; "The national team is not a club. This fundamental tactic is very important. It may not be how strong it will be, but it is what I am most familiar with and what I am best at, even based on the characteristics of their country and nation." Characteristics are something that comes into being, and that’s something to trust.”

"What is foreign is foreign after all, and it may betray you at any time, but this purely localized tactical system will become your strongest foundation at critical moments!"

The warm-up session is over.

Players from both sides walked to the tunnel.

The moment he entered the players' tunnel, Su Ke felt a gaze on him.

Turning his head to look over, he found that Thomas Muller was staring at him. When he saw himself looking over, he suddenly turned his head and looked to the other side.

Now Muller is very young and full of energy.

Don't look at this guy's careless and careless appearance, but during the game, his running position is extremely critical.

He became the key to Germany's repeated defeat of powerful enemies.

Thomas Muller's movement combined with the German team's midfield configuration, coupled with Klose and Podolski on the front line, can definitely pose a great threat to Croatia's defense.

Van Steyak strengthened the midfield and backfield, not only to control the rhythm of the midfield, but also to increase the number of defenders.

Thinking of this, Suk sighed.

In the original time and space, Croatia's defense was very tough. It cannot be said to be a wall of sighs, but it could definitely wear out the opponent.

But now, Croatia has strengthened its forward impact, but lost the stability of its defense.

Even with Srna on the court, it is difficult to compare with the tough guy defense of the original time and space.

All I can say is that there are gains and losses!

Arriving in the locker room, Van Steyak announced the starting list.

Suker and other starting players began to change their jerseys.

Srna was injured and Simunic took on the responsibility of captain.

He tied the captain's armband on his arm and shouted: "Guys, gather here!"

All Croatian players, including the coaching staff, gathered together.

Simunic said solemnly; "This is a crucial game. I think you all know what we can gain after defeating the German team!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Tied with the best record of Croatia’s golden generation!

World Cup semi-finals!

Seeing everyone's expressions, Simunic nodded and said loudly: "We don't need to be afraid of the Germans. They were our defeats two years ago. We are the victors and we will not give the Germans a chance for revenge!" "

Simunic roared suddenly:

"Ready to fight!"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Get ready to fight!!——"

Players from both teams appear in the tunnel.

From the exit, there were fierce cheers, and the surrounding walls seemed to be shaking, which showed that the fans on both sides were enthusiastic.

Players on both sides lowered their eyes, forcing themselves to concentrate and get into the game as soon as possible.

At this moment, the referee in front loudly shouted: "Get ready to enter!"

In an instant, the entire player tunnel was boiling.

"come on! Come on!"

"Win the game!"

"Fight! Fight!"

"Show up your fighting spirit!"

Players on both sides were shouting loudly, on the one hand to cheer themselves up, and on the other hand to encourage their teammates.

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

The cheers on the scene suddenly boiled.

Croatian players wearing white plaid jerseys and German players wearing red and black away jerseys stood in two rows and entered the stadium.

They entered the stadium through the arch.

In an instant, thunderous applause and cheers spread throughout the audience.

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:

Croatia (4-3-1-2):

Goalkeeper: Pletikosa.

Defenders: Joel Luka, Simunic, Kovac, Planic.

Midfielder: Rakitic, Vukojevic, Modric.

Forwards: Olic, Suker, Mandzukic.

Germany (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Neuer.

Defenders: Lahm, Mertesacker, Friedrich, Boateng.

Midfielder: Muller, Khedira, Ozil, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Podolski.

Forward: Klose.

"This is the quarter-finals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the match between Croatia and Germany!"

"In yesterday's game, the first half of the competition was completed, and England and the Netherlands reached the semi-finals of the World Cup!"

"In this focus match, Croatia and Germany will have a spot in the semi-finals!"

“The last time Croatia entered the semi-finals of the World Cup was back in the 1998 World Cup. The golden generation led by Davor Suker. Twelve years have passed. In this land of Eastern Europe, under the irrigation of the Drava River, The younger generation is rising again, following in the footsteps of their forebears, and they are reaching the quarter-finals of the World Cup, but can they replicate that feat?"

"Can Croatia reach the semi-finals of the World Cup for the second time in history?"

Krawsiewicz cheered loudly: "Come on, boys!"

At the same time, the German commentator in Taichung also shouted hard:

"We are a German tank! In this World Cup, the German boys showed wonderful tactical play. Their pleasing performance opened a new chapter in German football. I believe this is a symbol of the arrival of a new era! "

"Go forward! Boys, we are with you, we will always watch you and fight alongside you!"

The captains of both sides, Simunic and Ram, guessed the side.

Facing Ram, Simunic almost didn't look good.

Even if they are Croats, they will definitely hate Lahm.

And all this can be traced back to the violent foul in the European Cup, which caused Suker to almost "ruin" his career with a huge injury.

When all the Croatian fans saw Lahm, they booed everywhere.

Under the turbulent boos, Ram tried his best to keep a calm expression and completed the guessing session.

In the end, Croatia took the lead, while the German team chose the left half.

Players from both sides come to their respective halves.

Mandzukic and Olic stood in the center circle waiting for the kick-off.

In this game, Su Ke served as the attacking midfielder and shouldered the burden of offensive transition and scoring goals in the midfield and frontcourt.

Van Steyak trusts Suker!

For this reason, he is willing to give him a large proportion of tactical resources, and at the same time, he is also willing to put the weight of victory on Su Ke.

The war was about to break out, and the atmosphere in the stadium became extremely solemn.

The referee began to exit the penalty area and blew the whistle.

Beep! ! !

A sharp whistle sounded.

The whole game has begun!

boom!

Mandzukic kicked off and Olic passed directly back.

After Suker received the ball, he immediately passed the ball back and moved forward at the same time.

The moment Suker ran forward, the German players also rushed towards the Croatian half like a torrent.

Seeing this scene, Suk immediately turned around and returned to the center circle again and began to respond.

But the moment he turned his head, he saw Modric surrounded by Ozil and Muller in the middle.

Su Ke immediately pulled back and created a gap to catch the ball.

"Luca!"

Modric hurriedly controlled the ball. After hearing Suker's voice, he barely looked up and directly chose to distribute the ball.

"What a ball!"

The ball was slightly high and required Suker to lift his thigh to unload it, which was not a good shot.

But with Suk's ability, he was still able to stop the ball steadily.

The moment Suker received the ball, Schweinsteiger immediately pressed forward and prevented Suker from turning around.

In his own state, Suk's body was shaking rapidly from side to side, with a large amplitude, and the frequency of direction changes was also very rapid.

When Suker felt Schweinsteiger forcefully pull his center of gravity, he turned around and twisted his waist again.

"Give me the splits!"

Sure enough, Schweinsteiger, whose center of gravity was on the left side, could only stretch out his right foot desperately, causing him to sit down directly in the splits, but he was unable to complete the restriction on Su Ke, and Su Ke successfully escaped.
