Chapter 42: We Are Victorious
With Mandzukic's second header, we were getting closer and closer to victory. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The Irish attacked our goal again and again, but it was useless. Their long ball is a very inefficient tactic in itself, especially since they have no one up front, and the only winger available in the front line, Duff, is very old, and there is no way to pose any threat to our goal in the final moments of the game. I know that our victory is secure.
I'm dancing with joy – even if I didn't play, but I'm very happy with this win, and with this win, we have more opportunities and more confidence to face the next two heavyweight fights. We are very strong, but Spain are the defending champions of the European Championship and the World Cup, while Italy are a great team that have won one European Cup and four World Cups, and our team's best record in history is only third in the '98 World Cup. Neither against Spain nor against Italy, we are not sure of winning. If we don't win the first game against Ireland, then we really have no hope.
Now, if we keep the score of 3:1 until the end, we will be temporarily top of the group, and the first match between Italy and Spain has already ended before us, and they have a score of 1:1. We only need one point in our last two games to qualify, and as long as we get two points, we are almost certain to qualify. In the face of the temptation to qualify, each of us is so greedy......
The game came to the 88th minute!
The team's head coach, Bilic, said: "Get ready to play, Chusovi Genstic! ”
"What...... What ......"
……
"Ready to debut", are these four words true?
I was so excited that I almost cried. Although I had to clean up the game and make substitutions to delay time, it was my first chance to play at the European Championships......
As long as I can show up at the European Cup, even if I play late, I am willing, I am happy!
Not to mention the 88th minute! Even in the 93rd minute, I was replaced just to delay time, even if it was used as a background wall, even if I came out just to get Mandzukic applause from the audience, I have no regrets!
I immediately jumped up and warmed up again! Even if it's just to stall for time, I'm going to prevent the opponent from scoring a goal in the last minute!
No matter how stupid football practitioners are, they all know the scene of Manchester United vs. Bayern in the 99 European Champions Cup final. Bayern Munich replaced captain Mateus in the last minute, which gave United the opportunity to score two free-kicks in quick succession from David Beckham, allowing Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to score against Bayern!
I must not let the same thing happen to me!
……
"Toot! Dead Ball! ”
Bilic replaced me!
He replaced Mandzukic and let him receive the cheers of the fans!
He was the hero who scored two goals in a European Cup!
He is the final finisher of Croatian artistic football and a part of Croatian artistic football!
After all, our football is based on the philosophy of attack! Mandzukic, he's part of this great offensive philosophy!
Let's all applaud Mandzukic!
He deserves all this boasting!
……
I'm finally on the field! Sure enough, it was the 93rd minute!
Because of Mandzukic's departure before, the audience was thunderous, and he ran down slowly, wasting a lot of time. So by the time I got on the pitch, it was 93 minutes.
As soon as I got on the pitch, I rushed as fast as I could to the forward line where Mandzukic had just stood. In any case, I'm a professional footballer, so even if I can play for a short period of time, I have to defend my position.
As I got to the forward line, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. 3:1, our Croatian team, won......
Win! We finally won this European Cup!
Our European Championship is taking its first step at this moment!
……
We won. Modric, Jolluka, Srna, they hurried back to the bathroom to take a shower, especially Modric, he had to speak in front of reporters after the game, and he had to take a shower immediately and appear in front of everyone in the best condition. This is a generous gift that is unique to the winner!
And I, as a newcomer who played for one minute at the European Championships, continued to be professionally responsible for selling cute giggles in front of everyone, gagming with my great roommates, and celebrating the victory together!
Among the celebrants, there is only one wise man, who keeps his mind clear and calm in the joy of all. He is...... Our head coach Bilic.
He specially chose me to replace Mandzukic, and this courage can be talked to future generations for a long time. He did, I know that. He is not for anything else, just to let me gradually start to get familiar with the atmosphere of the European Cup, let me gradually find my own mental balance in the European Cup, and also allow me to play more freely in the following games!
This friendship is destined to warm my heart.
……
The game is over. We are top of the group with three points. In our next game, we will still be in Poland against our second opponent in the group stage, Italy. Our goal is also clear, whether it's the second game or the third, our main goal is to keep the draw. These two great giants, we only need to get two points against them to have a chance to emerge from the group of death!
Will I still have a chance to play in the next game?
Will we be able to pull off a miracle and win against Italy in the next game?
I don't know now, but I only know that our morale is extremely high now, and we are in the middle of a boom, then a decline, and a third exhaustion.
Simply, just use more goals to break the Italians!
Let's get Jelavic and Mandzukic to hit the ball into the Italian's net!
Let's let our great midfielders Luka Modric, Rakitic and Perisic, use possession to mobilize Italy's midfield.
At last...... Otherwise, let me score a goal, I really want to score, especially when I hear Bilic say that he wants me to play as a striker......
Goal......
I want it, I want to score goals!
