After I was sent off, Croatia faced a disadvantage of 10 against 11, even though it was our Croatian team who kicked off in the second half, but it was a very bad thing to send off one man at the beginning. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info okay, I am a striker, for a team, the team has one less striker, the lineup does not need to change much, so the coach does not need to adjust the lineup through substitutions.

Even if I get sent off, we still have to keep going. I went into the dressing room and watched our team play on TV.

We started serving in midfield, and Boksic passed the ball to Boban, who controlled the ball and moved forward.

As Boban was dribbling forward, Portugal's Rui Costa also stepped forward to press him. This time the confrontation between the two sides is the opposite of the last time, the last time Rui Costa easily passed Boban, and this time, Boban also easily passed Rui Costa, because Rui Costa's defense is indeed not very good, in front of Rui Costa, who is strong in attack and weak in defense, Boban can still find some confidence.

After Boban got past Rui Costa, he faced another player from the Portuguese team, a defender who was much better defensively than Rui Costa, and Boban did not dare to slack off and passed the ball to Prosinetski.

Prosinetski saw several people in front of him blocking his pass, but Baia's position was not very accurate, so he simply fired a boomerang shot, which made a bend on the right side of the goal and flew into the left corner of the goal.

Baia saw Prosinnetsky's shot and flew towards the corner. He was very vigorous in saving this time, which can be called a super level of play, and he saved the ball directly! This wonderful save drew cheers from the fans, and at this moment, the whole stadium was calling Baia's name.

Baia smiled, said hello to the fans, and then kicked the ball out, our players, we were already missing me, plus put the troops into the attack, the back line is relatively empty at this moment. The Portuguese took advantage of the emptiness at the back and attacked with Luis Figo in possession, who quickly broke down the flanks to our baseline, and the Portuguese striker Nuno Gomes was quick to follow up. Figo passed the ball to Nunogomez, Nunogomez didn't stop shooting directly after getting the ball, our goalkeeper Radici flew to save, but Nunogomez's shot was too fast, Radici's reaction was too late, the ball flew past Radiki's hand and rolled into the net!

2:2, Portugal tied the score! I was punished very quickly, and this punishment was so painful for us in Croatia!

In the next game, we will be even more difficult to play, and we will face Portugal with 11 out of 10, and we will not be able to attack anymore. Portugal, under the leadership of Rui Costa and Luis Figo, further surrounded our backline, and this time their birdcage tactics finally worked, and with one man missing, it was even more difficult to break their birdcage tactics. The Portuguese besieged our back line, their passes were so brilliant that we couldn't get the ball at all, and no one even dared to step forward and tackle. The Portuguese are just waiting for us to come forward and tackle, and as soon as one of us comes forward, they will immediately hit the gap we have created. My teammates knew exactly what they were trying to do, so they didn't dare to tackle at random.

As the minutes and seconds passed, the Portuguese dragged the time very hard. Now that it's a draw, Portugal are not in a hurry, they are behind us on goal difference, but now they have the absolute advantage on the pitch and can score our goals anytime and anywhere, so they are not in a hurry to attack.

At this time, on the TV, a subtitle is typed. The subtitles are in English, so it wasn't difficult for those of us who played outside the home all year round to read English.

What these captions say is that Denmark has already taken a 1-0 lead over Turkey. Today, we are still in first place in the standings with a goal difference, Portugal is third with a disadvantage in goals scored, and Denmark have overtaken Portugal in second place in the instant standings thanks to three goals scored in the game.

When I learned all this, when I watched the game on the field, I suddenly found that the whole scene suddenly changed in style!

The Portuguese team couldn't hold back any longer and started attacking!

The difference between the second and third groups of the group is the difference between qualifying and not qualifying! Even with just a goal difference, the Portuguese are still behind the Danes. There is no team going into the Euros, and the Portuguese still want to go further!

So Rui Costa and Luis Figo accelerated the speed of the forward attack, and Luis Figo's side broke through and passed Giarni directly! Jarni was eaten raw directly by Figo with technology, which shows how amazing Figo's technique is. Led by Luis Figo, the Portuguese team began to rush wildly towards our penalty area! They struck again and again, Luis Figo's passes kept coming into our box, and Simic managed to make a clearance, but the ball was picked up by the Portuguese. As soon as the Portuguese players get the ball, they pass it to Luis Figo or Rui Costa, and use these two superstars to carry out a continuous attack! Their attacks overwhelmed our backline and in the end, Nuno Gomez in the middle finally found a low post in front of goal after Luis Figo's wide cross threatened with a wide cross! Nunogomes' shot was so close to our goal that Radici, no matter how strong he was, couldn't have saved Nunogomez's shot from two metres away, and it hit our net hard...... 3:2…… We...... It was reversed by the Portuguese......

It's all my fault...... If I hadn't been so impulsive, our Croatian team wouldn't have fallen into a situation of playing more with less, and this time, our good situation would have been ruined, and our future in the European Championship would have been ......

Once such a score continued until the end of the match, and the Danes beat Turkey again......

Then, we're going to be out!

……

Little by little, time passed. Until the 90th minute, we didn't manage to score another goal. On the contrary, in the third minute of stoppage time, the Portuguese team scored a free kick by Luis Figo himself, which completely killed the game. I closed my eyes in despair...... Such a result will put me on trial by the whole of Croatia, and I am sorry for the country and the people...... I...... How can you explain this to the people? ……

My pain lasted for two minutes, and then I suddenly heard a frantic cry -

I looked up and looked: it can't be! The Danish team, the Danish team turned out to be ...... Scored a goal by the Turkish team!

The Turks scored a goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time by Hakansuk to draw 1:1 with Denmark!

In this way, we ...... As the second in the group, it was thrillingly qualified!

I looked at Schmeichel's confused eyes, and my heart ached - I couldn't imagine that our lives would come at the cost of their deaths! This...... What a cruel thing!

……

On the other hand......

UEFA has announced that I will be banned from the European Championships for violating sportsmanship by giving me the middle finger during the match. However, due to my behavior, it was due to the national provocation by the fans, so UEFA decided to give me a lenient sentence and ban me for 2 games......

These two bans have dealt a fatal blow to our Croatian team...... But, after all, it gave me the last hope......

Then there are the possible matches, the quarter-finals, the semi-finals, and the final. If I want to play at this European Cup......

We, the Croatian team, have to win two games in a row without me and reach the final!
