Chapter 387: This is the final after all
After I scored the equaliser, the whole Croatian team was boiling. As for the fans in the stadium www.biquge.info there is no such joy, because they support the Czech team, only a few Croatian fans are supporting us, and their shouts have far surpassed the shouts of supporting the Czech team, although the current score is only 1:1, but our Croatian team has seen the opportunity to reverse after all!
The Czechs started serving in midfield again, with Borg passing the ball to Poposki, who seized the moment and broke through the flanks with the ball and was very quick to break past our full-back Stanic. After Stanich was passed, he was not willing to fail and wanted to chase back, but his speed was far from being comparable to Poposky, and he was still left behind by Poposky. At this moment, the man facing Poposki is our left-back Giarni.
Like Poposki, Giarni is a speedy player, with the only difference being that Giarni plays as a defender and Poposki plays as a forward. The Czechs are pressed relatively high, so there are many opportunities for confrontation between Poposki and Jarni. Like this time, Popovsky faced Jarni and wanted to break through, but Jarni's speed was no worse than Poposki, he followed Popovsky closely, Popovsky wanted to get rid of Jarni, but he couldn't get rid of it anyway, just like that, Stanich had chased back, and as a result, Jarni and Stanich stole Popocchi alone.
The Czechs clearly saw that Poposki was at a disadvantage, and forward Borg moved close to Poposki to get Poposki to pass the ball to him. But Stanic reached out and blocked Poposky's pass. Instead of passing the ball immediately, Poposki saw Stanic's action and pulled the ball back and passed it to the back. At this time, Nemechek followed from behind and got the ball.
When Nemecek got the ball, he quickly played a long diagonal pass to the left, and the ball was passed to Smitchell, a good player on the left side of the Czech team. Smitchell did not stop the ball, and immediately pushed the ball back to the middle with his head, at this time, the Czech team's forward shopping card, has rushed to our big penalty area, jumped high, a header hit the goal, the ball actually hit the hands of our central defender Bilic impartially!
Handball, this turned out to be a handball! The referee saw the ball and quickly blew the whistle! He ran into our big forbidden area at a high speed and pointed his finger at the twelve-yard point, which is a capital punishment! We had just equalised and we were awarded a penalty! This plot is really maddening!
Is that how the final of the European Championship went? The strength of the opponent is so strong, and it seems that they not only have the factor of strength, but also have the excitement to fight after reaching the European Cup final as a dark horse! This Czech team is really very respectable and they are playing at a super high level and we feel very uncomfortable! Now that they've got another penalty, we can say that they were suppressed from the start in the final, how can that!
But worse is still happening! The referee didn't just award a penalty, it was more like our centre-back Bilic holding up a red card! The referee thought that Bilic's handball blocked Kuka's shot and deprived the Czechs of a chance to score, so he sent Bilic off with a red card, not only awarding the Czechs a penalty, but also putting us at a disadvantage of 11 out of 10!
I couldn't be outraged, the referee in this game seemed to be influenced by the English fans, and there was also a bit of a bias towards the Czech team. It stands to reason that with such a level of foul, Bilic should not be allowed to receive a red card, but the referee not only awarded a penalty, but also let Bilic receive a red card, which is very beneficial to the Czech team! As for our Croatian team, who will pay attention to us? We don't have any power in European football, and the big win over England in the last game was a loss of face for the hosts, so it's only natural that they want to fix us in this game.
Bilic walked off the pitch and clapped hard at the England fans in a demonstration. The fans in the stadium booed him, and the number of decibels of the English fans was even more than that of the Czech fans!
This situation made all the Croatian players on the pitch angry, no matter what the result of this goal, we, even if there are only ten people, must play a beautiful counterattack, so that the Czech team has no chance to take advantage of it!
Borg, standing in front of the ball, slowly ran to the penalty spot, swung his right foot and shot at goal!
Radici swooped down to the left, but he misjudged the direction. Borg's shot flew to the right side of the goal. Despite Radić's best efforts, he couldn't get the ball and it went in, making it 2-1 and giving the Czechs the lead......
It was a European Championship final, and the score was 2:1 before the first half of the game began, and our Croatian team was only able to play eleven men with ten. In the first 20 minutes of the first half, the Czech team performed very well, although our Croatian team did not perform badly, but in general we were still controlled by the Czech team in the midfield, it is because of this that we have not been able to do better, play our characteristic attack, and the defense is full of holes, and now the Czech team is leading 2-1, and it is difficult for our Croatian team to make achievements......
What can be done to reverse this unfavorable situation? No matter what, I'm going to win this European Championship, no matter what the difficulties are, I'm going to win. I pondered, pondered, and I looked at my teammates, their eyes full of confusion.
No, you can't. I have to get them back motivated!
"Cheer up, this is the final of the European Championship after all! It's not even the last minute, and the winner is still unknown! What if there are only ten of us? Even if there are only nine or eight people left, we must defeat them! We must muster up morale, everyone believe me, we must win! ”
My teammates heard my cry and looked up at me in surprise - they couldn't believe that we could really win under such a disadvantage.
