Chapter 272: A Perfect Start
The much-anticipated European Championship qualifiers between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Romania have finally begun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoRomania's home flag flew and the fanatical fanaticism of the fans was beyond our expectations. Their home stadium has a large capacity, and the number of fans entering the stadium is as high as 70,000 or 80,000. Romania are currently third in their group and still have a chance of qualifying, not to mention that they have the likes of Kiv and Mutu and naturally have a lot of hope for the prospects of the team as a whole. This Romanian team, although it is still lacking compared to Haji's time, can still be called a European powerhouse. We still need to pay attention to them when we face them. They have a lot of play and they don't defend well and it's going to be difficult for us to win. Offensively, with Mutu and Radujoyo and Kifu in defence, such a team is enough to scare the whole of Europe.
Of course, our Bosnia-Herzegovina team is not bad, and to put it bluntly, we also beat Romania in the first leg. With the likes of Pjanic, Dzeko, Ibisevic, Misimovic and Barbarec, our Bosnia-Herzegovina team is clearly better than the Romanians, but this game is at home, and the uncertainty is much greater.
All the players came into the pitch together. The match was about to start, and I saw Kifu give me a cold look, and I knew that this was his provocation to me. The outcome of this game is ultimately judged by the number of goals, no matter how much Kifu provokes me at this time, all I want is a victory, and nothing else matters.
The referee blew the whistle and the game finally began!
The Romanian team kicked off first, their attack was very sharp, Mutu and Radujoyo, a pair of Gemini signs, quickly took the ball to our backline, their cooperation was more skilled than the last game, after all, they played several more games, their form is slowly coming up, they are really a strong enemy, I concentrate and wait for them to come.
As a striker, when the opponent hits our backline, he also needs to have a certain depth of defense. What's more, this is the beginning of the game, they kick off in midfield, and if they want to hit our backline, they have to pass me. However, they were attacking two people at the same time, and I couldn't defend two people at the same time, so I called Pjanic to rush up and defend together. My defense line with Pjanic is the first barrier for Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in any case, I can't let Mutu and Radujoyu break through this line easily!
I used a strangulation tactic based on a strong body, which had to be used against players who were weaker than me. Mutu and Radujoyou are also physically strong, but they are still a notch behind me, so I approached Mutu and used strangulation tactics to make Mutu very uncomfortable when dribbling the ball. Mutu felt that it was difficult for him to pass me directly and wanted to pass the ball to Radujoyo, but Pjanic had already firmly held Raduchoyo and Mutu just wanted to pass the ball and there was no point to get out. At the same time, the rest of the Romanian squad did not keep up, and as Mutu and Radujou were so fast, they were much slower. This put Mutu in the abyss from which I could not recover, and the ball at his feet was successfully tackled by me, and then I kicked it out and the ball went straight to the front, where Ibisevic headed the ball and Dzeko received a pass from Ibisevic.
At this time, Dzeko broke into the Romanian team's penalty area with the ball, and in front of him, it was Kifu who was in the way. Kifu put on a stern look, Dzeko saw that Kifu was so well prepared, and he didn't dare to be careless, he rushed towards Kivu's body, and Kifu also rushed towards him. The first fierce confrontation between the two stars broke out, with Kifu winning in a scrambled and the ball rolled out of Dzeko's feet and into Ibisevic's feet.
The confrontation was really intense, Dzeko and Ibisevic had many twists and turns in the battle with Kifu, but in the end they still got the ball. When Kifu was defending Dzeko, he was not able to take care of Ibisevic, and as a result, he was missed, and another player rushed up, but if it wasn't an opponent like Kifu, how could Ibisevic be afraid? He didn't even look at it, he just hit it with his body, and he knocked the defender of the Romanian team away.
Ibisevic quickly slotted into the Romanian penalty area and stabbed a shot straight through the Romanian goalkeeper. We took a 1-0 lead away from home to Romania, and the 70,000-000 stadium was instantly silent for the fans.
The Romanian fans, the expectations for the team are very high, they didn't expect that we would be able to give them such a strong dismount from the start. The players of the Romanian team did not expect that they would concede the goal so quickly. For them, who are currently third in the group, if they can't beat us in this game, they will be opened up by us by six points, and it will be almost impossible to catch up with that six points in the next three games. Considering we have one more game against Luxembourg, which is almost a sure three points, Romania will not only have to hope that we will lose to Norway and Denmark in a row, but they will also have to win them all and beat us on goal difference in order to qualify for the European Championships. And even then, they will only finish second in the group and will have to go through the play-offs to qualify.
It can be said that for the Romanians, this match with us is their battle of Tianwang Mountain. If they lose, they will not qualify at all, and we will basically lock up the top two places in the group. So of course, we have to go all out and crush the Romanian team as soon as possible, so that our Bosnia and Herzegovina team will not be far from qualifying for the first European Championship in history.
Under the temptation of qualifying for the European Championship for the first time in history, all the players of our Bosnia-Herzegovina team were as excited as if they had played chicken blood. Including Dzeko, including Ibisevic, including Pjanic, they all performed very well just now, both defensively and offensively, they were all perfect. Thanks to everyone's efforts, we started the game with a 1-0 lead and got off to a perfect start! (To be continued.) )
