Chapter 337: Rustu and Hakansuk
Rustu grabbed my shot, he looked up and glanced at me, there was infinite contempt in his eyes, this contempt made my heart burn with anger, no matter what, I must break his goal with a wonderful shot!
However, Rustu's goalkeeping skills have reached a desperate level, especially his unusual body structure, which is a goalkeeper - although his height is not very tall, his hands are very long, known as the long-handed monster. Not only is his www.biquge.info long, but his palms are large, and this talent makes it easy for him to save the ball when he is in goal, or even catch it directly. So the average shot is useless for him at all, and if you want to score, you can't do it unless there is another way.
How can you get the ball into his goal? I guess I'll have to try a lot to find a solution. However, the Turkish team defended very well and it was not easy to find a shot on goal, let alone try and error many times. In any case, we have to use our possession advantage to get more trial and error, otherwise it will be difficult to find a way to deal with Rustu.
Rustu took the ball and kicked it hard, and the ball flew into the midfield and fell into the crowd. Turkey's midfielders are competing with our midfielders, and our Croatian players are not very strong but they are taller, so we have an advantage in the battle for the top. Prosinetski's header reached Boban's feet, and soon Boban controlled the ball and pushed forward, only four or five seconds to reach the Turkish team's big penalty area.
Boban saw that the two central defenders of the Turkish team were in a very reasonable position, and he did not dare to dribble the ball into the box. He opted to pass the ball to Prosinetsky, who then dribbled the ball and then passed it to Boksic, who was driving into the box.
However, even as Boksic found his way into the opposition box, he was unable to get past the two centre-backs. The ball was poked by the opposition centre-back and stabbed at my feet. I couldn't get in a good position either, so I managed to get the ball back with my left foot, keep it at my feet, take it out of the box, get to a little safety, take the ball and keep looking for opportunities.
Rustu shouted loudly, directing two centre-backs and two full-backs to defend in dangerous places, even at the back. Rustu has a lot of tactical awareness, and I know in my heart that this time I have a very difficult opponent to deal with. Not only was he very good at goal, but he relied on a very clear tactical sense to command the whole back line in order, which added a lot of problems to our attack. The defenders of the Turkish team are not very famous, but they have shown considerable strength under the transfer of Rustu, which makes me have to be impressed by Rustu.
I had followed Turkey's performance in the youth team before, and I thought Rustu was a character at the time, but now when I actually play against him, I realize that he is not only a character, he is a handsome talent! Under the command of Rustu, the Turkish team's back line was very clear, and our Croatian team used all their offensive strength to attack for more than ten minutes, but there was no gain.
The European Championship is really a tough competition to deal with, and we had such a difficult time just in the first game of the group stage. In the face of such a talented goalkeeper as Rustu, our talented attacking line was helpless, which was really embarrassing. You must know that our forward line, including the players in the forward midfield, are famous in various clubs, but now under the defense of Turkey, our offensive line has no way to break the goal, which makes me very anxious.
"Boban, would you like to try a long-range shot?" I suggested to Boban. As a striker, Boban has a brilliant passing and passing skills, and at the same time, he is also very accurate in shooting, especially with a beautiful curling ball. Although his long-range shooting power is not very large, his main advantage is accuracy, under the accurate tactical missile-like shot, even if it is only a long-range shot with average power, he can often score goals.
Since Rustu can mobilize the back line to defend tightly, if we use a simple and crude long-range shot, we can avoid the defensive line set up by Rustu and face him directly. Although his hands are very long, people with long hands may not have good bounce power, and if he can hit accurate dead corners, Rustu may not be able to pounce. Whether I'm right or wrong, at least it's a trial-and-error way to challenge Rustu's weaknesses, and if Rustu is good at making saves from distance, then we can choose another way of attacking.
"Okay, then I'll try." Boban agreed.
After a few passes, the ball finally reached Boban's feet, Boban adjusted and rubbed a spinning ball with his right foot, which was played very accurately, over the heads of all the Turkish defenders, towards the top left corner of the goal, Rustu saw this, and pounced in the direction of the top right corner! Although his hands are long, his feet are really not very strong, and he does not have enough strength when he pounces out. However, his hand was long enough to touch the ball after all, and the ball changed direction a little, hit the goal post, and bounced back. Rustu was quick with his eyes, and once again pounced sideways and pounced the ball into his arms!
None of these shots could be scored! Although Boban's shot was very close to the goal, Rustu still relied on his super play to save the ball into his arms, which made us desperate!
If even Boban's accurate long-range shot can't score, then what else can we do to break Rustu's goal?
Our Croatian team, although it gained an advantage in the whole game, but it was unable to attack for a long time, and it was also a great damage to the team's morale. At this moment, Rustu quickly sent the ball! He threw the ball with his hands and threw it directly into the midfield!
How can the power of the road be so great? I looked back and yelled badly! Our players were all fighting for a shot in the front, but there was an opening in the backline, and Rustu's pass went directly to Hakansuk, who was in the middle of our midfield, and this time, our defender Bilic was far away from Hakansuk and could not stop Hakansuk's high-speed dribbling breakthrough! Hakansuk quickly got past Bilic and Simic and fired directly at our goalkeeper Radich! Radici scrambled to the side, but it was too late and the ball was poured into our goal!
