The first half was coming to an end and we played to a 1-1 draw with Turkey for quite some time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Since this period of time, the Turks have begun to have some sporadic counterattacks, but the main thing is that our Croatian team is attacking, because our ball control strength is stronger than that of Turkey, so we can always suppress the opponent in general and make the Turks breathless. However, our pressing still made it difficult to break through the defense of the back line commanded by Rustu, and even if there were occasional chances to shoot, Rustu would save with his long hands. Rustu's performance is very good today, even if a goal is scored, but it can't erase Rustu's brilliance! At the same time, Hakansuk was also very dangerous in the front court, just then, after Rustu got the ball, he threw the ball again with his hand and sent it to Hakansuk, Hakansuk broke through our central defender and hit the crossbar and bounced out of bounds, and our Croatian team finally escaped again.

In any case, we need to use a more mature tactic to deal with the attacks of the teams in the European Championship. If we can't control the situation all the time, if we can't limit the opponent's counter-attacks, then it's easy for our defence to slip through and it's normal to be scored.

In this way, we exchanged attacks and defence with Turkey until half-time. When the referee's whistle blew, I was actually relieved.

Yes, in the first half we were besieging Turkey like this and not being able to score more goals, which shows that our tactics must have been problematic. So we had to go through a half-time break to study the Turkish team's goals. After we had a good communication together, we had hope of breaking Rustu's goal and winning against the Turks.

At half-time, our coach noted: "In the first half we played a bit of a dull style, we always used strong attacking tactics and there were not many changes, the only change was Boban's long-range shot, but it didn't seem to have done much. Rustu's talent is so high, he has very long hands, even if the saves are not very good, but the length of his hands alone is enough to hold the whole goal. In the second half, Boban's long-range shot had hit the corner and was even saved by Rustus, which shows that his defense is really almost invulnerable. ”

"So if we want to win, we have to find a way to break down Rustu's defence. His defence, which relies heavily on the support of the back line, could break Rustu's defence if they could get past it, like the one Boksic scored in the box in the first half. I think that the task of getting past the back line like this needs to be given to our two strikers, Suker and Boksic, and if we want to make it easier for them to get past the back line, we have to move our whole formation a little bit back. So I decided that in the second half we would not besiege each other and the score would be 1-1 anyway. We pretended to be physically exhausted, and more of us fell in the back to attract them to attack forward. As long as they attack, we have a chance, and we have to fight their counterattack too! ”

The coach's words made me suddenly enlightened! That's right, we just pushed them too hard, their backline is numerous, and they all listen to the command of Rustu, under the perfect command of Rustu, it is indeed difficult for us to score, but if we take the initiative to retreat and attract the Turks to attack forward, as long as we can play a counterattack, we can have a situation of playing more and playing less, we have a good chance to form a breakthrough in the penalty area, so that we can face Rustu to shoot!

Rustu's strength is his long hands, but if we get close to him and then shoot, no matter how long his hands are, there is no way to stop us from hitting his bottom corner! It can be said that for a goalkeeper with a long hand, the bottom corner is his weakness. If we can get through the back line and face Rustu in the corner, Rustu will have no way to deal with us, so we can definitely beat the Turkish team!

In the second half we can resolutely execute such a tactic, of course, whether the Turks will change their tactics after the break, it's hard to say, but if they don't change their tactics and we take the initiative to change the tactics, we will have a great advantage over them! If the Turks also change their tactics, then we will take a closer look after they have changed tactics and see if there is more to be done to solve the problem. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and no matter what, we will defeat them. No matter what kind of channel or what kind of way, we must defeat them!

Soon, the second half of the game began! In the second half, we kicked off and I passed the ball to Boksic and then Boksic passed it back to Boban. This time Boban didn't immediately break forward with the ball, but walked sideways in the midfield for a while, attracting several players from Turkey, and then rolled the ball to the left and passed the ball to Stanić!

Stanic broke through with the ball, he was very sharp, he passed a player in the Turkish team, and then passed the ball back to Boban, who got the ball and broke through one of the opposing midfielders, but he didn't go on, but distributed the ball to Marić on the right.

Marić suddenly crosses with a big foot! Such a cross was so sudden that it panicked the Turkish back line, and I ran in the direction of this pass and jumped high, but Rustu jumped high, stretched out his long arm and punched the ball out!

After the ball flew out, the Turkish players got the ball and they finally started to fight back, rushing to our midfield! Hakansuk came to the vicinity of our penalty area, and one of the Turkish midfielders passed the ball to him, and Hakansuk shook off our defender Bilic, and then he shook it again, and even Simic was shaken by him! At this time, he will face our goalkeeper Radici directly! Hakansuk fired a shot at goal, Radici tried his best to pounce on the ball, the ball hit the post and bounced out!
