With Perisic's penalty kick, Croatia led Germany 3:0.

And this goal also made the German fans at the scene silent.

They held their heads one by one, and seriously lost their former spirit.

Before the European Cup, they were so high-spirited. They thought they could dominate the European Cup with their own lineup.

They came to Poland with such confidence, and then suffocated in Croatia's steel defense.

Although Germany has advanced, this game still makes them feel extremely sad.

This is a big blow to morale!

At the very least, they have to play a fair game, right?

Being beaten 3:0, what is this called!

Unlike German fans, Croatian fans are full of excitement.

The trend of this game is much smoother than they expected. With Suker's outbreak, Croatia has shown excellent performance on both offense and defense, and quickly established advantages, constantly controlling the situation with advantages, and turning them into winning advantages.

The confrontation between strong teams may have a moment of fighting and being difficult to distinguish.

But after the rhythm was dominated by the other side, the collapse of their own rhythm was also unstoppable.

Just like Croatia, after they took the advantage, from beginning to end, they did not give the German team any breathing space, let alone a reversal.

Croatia will not make mistakes!

In the case of advantage, they played more boldly and carefully, how could this allow the German team to reverse the score?

"Perisic scored the third goal of Croatia!"

The German commentator's face was livid, and he pursed his lips tightly and said: "This game tells us a truth, never be blindly confident!"

After a pause, he almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out one sentence from his mouth:

"Absolutely! Absolutely! Never relax the restrictions on Suker!"

After that, the German commentator angrily took off his headphones, covered the microphone, and turned his head to spray.

Fxxk! ——

This game was played so aggrieved!

Because of the tactical mistakes in the first half, the whole game was in a passive situation. Loew and the German team did not think about making corrections, but it was too late.

Croatia would not give them such an opportunity.

There were more than ten minutes left in the game.

Croatia did not make any substitutions, but held the last substitution quota tightly in hand to prevent accidents.

However, the German team also scored a face-saving goal in the injury time with a corner kick opportunity.

Schweinsteiger headed the ball and the score became 3:1.

But this was also the limit. Croatia would not give them any more chances, and there was not enough time.

Finally, 90 minutes were over.

The third round of Group B of the European Cup ended. Croatia defeated Germany 3:1 and successfully entered the knockout stage of the European Cup as the first in the group.

Following Group A, the qualifying situation of Group B was also finalized.

The game was over.

Croatian fans were still reluctant to leave for a long time. They tasted the unparalleled pleasure in this game, so they didn't want it to end so early.

However, after the Croatian players greeted them under the leadership of captain Srna, they immediately returned to the locker room and left on the bus.

The Croatian players left, and the fans had no reason to stay.

They walked out of the stadium with their arms around each other, cheering and discussing where to go for a drink.

Tonight must be a carnival night for Croatia.

"This is the Ukrainian European Cup Channel. On June 20, with England defeating Ukraine 1:0, the 2012 European Cup group stage was over. From Group A to Group D, a total of eight teams that entered the knockout stage all appeared!"

"Group A: Czech Republic, Greece. Group B: Croatia, Germany. Group C: Spain, Italy. Group D: England, France!"

"These eight teams will play the quarter-finals of the European Cup knockout stage in the form of Group A vs. Group B, and Group C vs. Group D!"

"And in the knockout stage, we can pay attention."

On June 21, the voice of the host of the Ukrainian TV station came from the TV in the morning.

There was a drizzle in the sky, and the streets and walls were soaked.

Even in the morning, the atmosphere of the European Cup was still extremely lively.

Rainy days could not hinder the enthusiasm of these fans to watch the game.

This is especially true for fans who have already entered the knockout stage of the European Cup.

A child, led by his mother, is holding his beloved hydrogen balloon in his hand.

The balloon is floating, with the number 9 printed on it. The little boy is wearing a Croatian jersey, and is obviously a fan of Suker.

The little boy is excited to observe everything around as he shuttles through the crowd. Everything here makes him curious.

Suddenly, the child's arm is hit by someone.

The collision causes the hydrogen balloon to slowly float up.

"My balloon!"

The little boy jumped up in a hurry, but he was too short to reach it.

The mother next to him also looked up at the balloon, thinking about how to get it down.

At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped up in the crowd.

The man jumped very high, and in the boy's vision, it seemed like he was flying.

He easily reached the rope of the balloon and pulled it down.

The man was wearing a hood and sportswear, so his face could not be seen clearly.

The man walked over and handed the balloon rope to the little boy

"Xie Su."

The little boy's eyes suddenly widened.

Isn't this Su Ke?

He won't admit his mistakes.

In his area, there are posters of Suk.

Suk smiled and put his index finger on his lips, signaling to be silent, then rubbed the little boy's head, then turned around and ran away, disappearing into the crowd after a while.

"Is this gentleman an athlete? He jumps so high!"

The mother on the side also expressed gratitude.

The little boy immediately raised his head and said proudly: "Of course! He is the best athlete!"

The mother smiled, took the little boy and left.

Suk walked all the way through the streets, came to an upward slope, and continued running.

Climbing along the winding road to the hotel halfway up the mountain, he slowly stopped.

Running to the entrance of the hotel, there were eaves above, so Suk took off his hood and took a deep breath.

The smell of rain mixed with earth penetrates into the nose, and with the slightly cool weather, it makes me feel lucky.

Halfway up the mountain, looking towards the east, a huge statue stands there.

This is a landmark building in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.

Statue of ‘Motherland’ built during the Soviet era.

Holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.

This statue and the statue of ‘Motherland is Calling’ located on the banks of the Volga River in Russia are both products of the same period.

This is Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, and the venue for their upcoming first game of the European Cup knockout round.

On June 23, they will play Croatia VS Greece in the quarter-finals of the European Cup knockout rounds at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev.

The entire quarter-finals will take place over four days.

Four games in total, one per day!

Suk turned his head, shook the rain off his body, and then entered the hotel.

Su Ke returned to the room first and entered the bathroom to rinse off.

Then he started knocking on the door one by one and calling for people.

"Get up! Why are you sleeping now?"

"Get up, it's time to have breakfast and activate your body!"

"Get up! Get up!"

Modric was helplessly called up by Suker. His hair was still messy and he yawned from time to time.

Mandzukic covered his head with a quilt and was unwilling to get up until Suker threw the quilt over.

"Get up! I'll give you 20 minutes to wash up and then go have breakfast!"

Watching Suk leave calmly and prepare to call others, Mandzukic sat on the bed with a dull look on his face and murmured:

"There were times when I wanted to bite him to death!"

Modric was amused. He put on a T-shirt, yawned again and said, "Get up, after breakfast it's time to start the training session!"

Mandzukic: "Can't I sleep for another half hour?"

Modric pushed open the bathroom door, turned around and said, "Srna will call you next time!"

Hearing this, Mandzukic grinned. Compared to Suk, Srna's calling method was more violent.

"Good morning!"

When Su Ke walked into Sirna's room, Sirna had already gotten up, washed, dressed, and was ready to go out.

"Let's go have breakfast!"

Suk waved.

Sirna nodded, and the two of them walked out of the room, took the elevator, and headed to the cafeteria.

Srna said: "The group stage went pretty well!"

Su Ke shrugged: "It's so smooth that it's a bit unreal!"

"Greece is in better shape than during the qualifiers. We need to be vigilant!"

"Vigilance is inevitable, but we still have the advantage in terms of lineup strength." After a pause, Su Ke added; "The premise is that there are no injuries."

Sirna nodded; "I completed the physical examination yesterday, and I heard the results were very good."

Suk nodded; "This is good news!"

Croatia only has one lineup, and they really can't afford to hurt them.

Not long after, the two came to the restaurant.

In the self-service restaurant, two people picked up the trays and tongs and selected the food they liked.

Since it was a non-match day, Suk ate more food.

He couldn't eat half full like he did during the game.

After selecting the food, the two came to the dining table and started having breakfast.

Soon, the Croatian players began to arrive one after another.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning!"

"What a damn weather!"

"Why did it rain suddenly?"

"I hope it doesn't rain when we play football! I don't like rainy days!"

“What a nice, cool rainy day!”

"What a fart!"

Everyone was eating their meal noisily.

At this time, Van Steyak came over and said loudly: "Gather in the conference room after dinner and lay out the tactical content in detail. Today's training volume is not much, mainly rest."

The Croatian players nodded.

They were in pretty good shape at this time. Due to the German team's tactical mistakes, they won the game without spending too much energy.

When he thought of this, Perisic on the other side said to Suker: "Thank you!"

Suk raised his head and glanced at him, grinning and saying, "Is this the first time you've said thank you? I said it's not necessary."

Ever since Suker gave Perisic a point, the first thing this guy said when he saw him was thank you.

Perisic is an inexpressive character.

He was very grateful to Suker. Under the circumstances at that time, a penalty kick was enough for him to turn his situation around and gain confidence.

The most important thing was that the depression in his heart was vented, and his whole state began to gradually change.

He didn't know how to express it, so he could only thank him again and again.

"Instead of saying thank you, it's better to pass me a few more good balls." Suker said.

Perisic nodded: "I'll do that."

Suker grinned: "This dull guy!"

After that, he turned his head and looked at Duimovic: "Are all the dull guys from Hajduk like this?"

"Hajduk?" Duimovic was stunned for a moment and cursed: "I'm pure Zagreb!"

Suker was stunned for a moment; "Are you a product of the youth training of Zagreb?"

Mandzukic: "Isn't the youth training of Zagreb famous for its technology? Your technology."

Duimovic held a fork; "Don't be mean in the morning, be careful that I will stab you!"

Hearing this, everyone laughed out loud.

After dinner, they still came to the meeting room noisily.

When they saw Besic's face, they all became quiet and didn't dare to say anything.

Suk felt that Besic was like a class teacher, not saying anything, just looking at them quietly, suppressing them with his eyes.

After the meeting room was completely quiet, he slowly said:

"Next, start arranging tactics."

The whole process was Besic talking and they were listening.

When arranging individually, Besic would also put forward the key points separately.

Besic's tactical arrangement is very detailed, and this kind of detail must be attached to the details.

Suk believes that the only guy who can pick up details more than Besic is Mourinho. This detail is strange.

But thanks to Besic's way of explanation, the players all understood the tactical intentions very well.

This will make their tactical execution more effective.

After the tactical class, the Croatian players took a bus to the training ground for training.

Although it was still raining outside, the training could not stop.

But for safety reasons, Besic used more indoor equipment training, mainly to awaken the body's functions and maintain the state.

Finally, he came to the training ground, shot a few shots, and ran a few laps.

After a day of training, the same training was repeated the next day.

But unlike the previous day, Croatia finished their meal early on this day, and then gathered in the conference room to watch a knockout match of the European Cup together.

Czech Republic VS Germany!

That is, the first place in Group A played against the second place in Group B!

"This game of the Czech Republic is not easy to play, and Germany is holding its breath now!" Mandzukic said.

Others also nodded.

In the third round of the group stage, the German team lost very aggrievedly.

Due to tactical mistakes, they have been in a disadvantageous situation. Croatia did not give them any chance to commit crimes, and they did not make mistakes.

In the end, the German team challenged ambitiously, and then ended it hastily.

Not only did they fail to take revenge, but they were further humiliated.

In this case, the German team naturally held a fire in their hearts.

As for the Czech Republic, it is the leader of Group A, but Germany is more outstanding in terms of hard power.

With this kind of frustrated mentality, the German team will vent in this game.

Six minutes after the game started, Lahm shot a heavy long-range shot, and the ball went straight into the dead corner, opening the scoring for the German team.

At this time, the German team's crazy offensive began to unfold.

Klose and Reus connected.

After Reus passed the full-back on the opposite side through the crotch, he immediately connected a pass, and Klose scored a goal with a shovel shot in front of the goal.

A few minutes later, Ozil passed the ball to Klose, and Klose kicked the ball with a big foot. The ball hit the Czech goalkeeper's arms and flew out of the crossbar.

And this attack completely opened up the German team's violent offensive rhythm.

After that, the German team shot left and right.

The two full-backs Boateng and Lahm kept moving forward and crossing.

Klose and Schurrle were almost like fleas, constantly jumping and competing for the top.

In the 31st minute, Boateng made another cross, assisting Khedira to score.

Ten minutes later, the German team came back.

Klose pretended to shoot in the penalty area, faked a shot and dribbled the ball to Reus.

Reus followed up and scored with a shot.

So far, the German team has scored three goals in the first half.

The Czech Republic's proud defense line was completely beaten into a sieve.

"Hiss~~~~"

Duimovic took a breath and said, "Fortunately, when the German team played against us, they had a brain twitch and did not limit Suker, otherwise this offensive force would be really difficult to defend!"

Croatia's lineup is very adaptable.

But the defense line has just been reorganized, has not experienced the experience of the big game, and lacks experience.

Despite Srna's dispatch, it is impossible to command anytime and anywhere.

Once the German team kicks out this kind of offensive, Croatia will really have a hard time.

As Dujmovic said, fortunately the Germans had a brain injury, thanks to Suker's explosion on the wing, the German team's attack was limited, otherwise it would be hard to say.

The game quickly entered the second half.

The German team still did not give up the attack, as if to vent all the frustration.

After several rounds of fierce attacks, the Czech Republic completely surrendered.

At the end of the 90-minute game, the German team defeated the Czech Republic, the leader of Group A, with a score of 5:0.

This score has a strong deterrent effect.

Especially for other teams, Germany's performance after entering the knockout stage is shocking.

Greece, which is also the second place in Group A, is very nervous.

Germany slaughtered their group leader.

In the match between them and the Czech Republic, they can clearly feel that the Czech Republic is already very strong, but they are still beaten to a pulp.

And their upcoming opponent is the first place in Group B, Croatia!

"Oh my God! Is the Czech Republic so easy to play?"

"How is it possible! It's just that the German team is too strong!"

"This is a massacre!"

"How did Germany lose to Croatia?"

"Didn't you watch that game? Germany's wing was blown up by Suker!"

"Hiss~~~ Can our wing not be blown up?"

"I can only try to do this!"

The Greek players looked solemn.

This game showed them that although they were both teams that qualified from the group, there was still a huge gap in their abilities.

Germany, the second place in Group B, slaughtered the Czech Republic, the first place in Group A.

Greece, the second place in Group A, will face Croatia, the first place in Group B!

You can imagine the pressure they are under.

But no matter what, they can only bite the bullet and deal with tomorrow's game.
