Chapter 100: Chusovigin Stic is down, Olic is on

The second half began......

However, I already felt completely that my game was over. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

I changed into a clean jersey and sat on the bench. Olich from Bundesliga giants VfL Wolfsburg stood on the sidelines and the fourth official held up a sign: "Croatia, Chusovi Kintic down, Olich on." ”

Olic is a famous striker who used to be the main striker for Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich! It's just that due to his age, his competitive state has also declined, otherwise, with his strength, he will never be able to guarantee the main identity of the Croatian team. However, now, he is already in the forward position in the team, under Mandzukic, Jelavic, and even Eduardo, who often plays more than him. I was supposed to be the team's fifth striker, however, with the tactics that Bilic envisioned, I was given the chance to start in this battle against Spain, but in the end, Bilic didn't really choose to believe me, but rushed to replace me, choosing to let Olich, the star who used to be the main striker at Bayern Munich, solve the problem -

Olich was naturally very pleased. His qualifications and strength are indeed worthy of the status of a striker for the Croatian team. However, such a result, for me, is really very hurtful, very, very big...... In case of...... Croatia lost to Spain in the end and failed to qualify from the group, so at this moment at the beginning of the second half, my European Championship is over!

My European Championship ...... My Mission...... I obviously felt that I had played quite well, but Bilic still didn't trust me, and in front of so many people, he said that sentence viciously:

"In the second half, I'll definitely replace you!"

I sat on the bench and punched hard to the ground!

……

Spain continued their tikitaka, Xavi remained in control of the football, and Olic came on to play more towards the shadow striker position, occasionally dropping back into midfield to assist Xavi in defence. But even if Rakitic and Xavi went to grab Xavi's ball together, Xavi could easily pass the two or pass the ball to a better teammate. Our team, still struggling to hold on, in the gaps of the Spaniard's tikitaka, in the dizzying threads of Xavi and Iniesta, we are struggling to hold on. Xavi's shot hit the post, and it wasn't long before it was Torres' turn to have his header saved by Praticosa, and we gradually became less attacking under the pressure of the Spaniards, and even Modric was back in the box to help organize the defence. Spain's pressing is getting stronger and stronger, and the possession ratio has changed from 70% to 30% in the first half to 78% to 22%, and the ratio of shots on goal is 6 for Croatia and 32 for Spain!

Bilic couldn't imagine the miserable situation of the Croatian team after replacing me, although the score has not changed, but in the first half there were still sporadic counterattacks, and a goal from Mandzukic, and in the second half, even half was sad! Even if the Spaniards didn't score again, but they often made twenty or thirty passes in a row, and kicked this suffocating tikitaka tactic to the extreme, they may not want to score, but they probably want to risk losing possession in order to score, then they would rather not. Unless they judge a shot on goal and have a 30% chance of hitting the goal, they won't even get up easily!

Olic is up front, basically not getting the ball, he doesn't go back to the back line to tackle, he doesn't go to the midfield to fight for the header, and the only place he helps defend is a little bit of a tie to Xavi. Compared to the first half when I was running around in the penalty area on both sides, fighting for the first point in midfield, receiving the ball at the back and playing a one-two with Modric, Olic did a lot less defensively. We are already weaker than the Spaniards, and if we lack a defensive force, then our hope of breaking the tikitaka will become more and more slim......

As the minutes ticked by, Bilic became more and more unable to sit still. He asked for a substitution again, and this time, his gamble was even bolder!

Remove midfielder Duimovic and send in the last striker, Eduardo!

I'm afraid he doesn't want to be a midfielder anymore, as long as the back line gets the ball, he will immediately kick up, and directly find three strikers!

At this moment, there is one more person who does not defend! Jelavic, Olich, Eduardo, all three are big names in the big names, however, in their respective club teams, they all have very strong midfielders to support their attack! For example, Olic used to be at Bayern Munich, with Schweinsteiger, Thomas Muller and Kroos, and Robben and Ribery on the wing, two very strong points to play for him, while Eduardo had his current opponent on the pitch at Arsenal two years ago - Cesc Fabregas to pass the ball to him, and at the same time, Rosicky in the Czech golden generation is also a very good passer! And now, only Modric is a first-class passer in our lineup, Rakitic is biased towards attack, and Perisic is a pure speed player, such a midfielder, in the face of other opponents, can still support the delivery of three forwards, however, in the face of the world's first midfielder Spain, the tactics of the three forwards are tantamount to giving up defense and committing suicide!

This is exactly what is reflected in the situation in the end. The three strikers are becoming more and more declining, more and more independent, and there is no effective communication and interaction between them, let alone an effective means to send people and the ball to the 30-meter area in front of the opponent's goal. On the back line, Jolluka, Sildenfeld, Srna, and Strinic were mobilized by Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, David Silva and others, and everyone's face was full of big beads of sweat, and the Spaniards barely saw a few drops of sweat!

Time was constantly being consumed by the Spaniards, consuming ...... Seventy minutes ...... Eighty minutes...... Ninety minutes ...... Injury time......

Finally, the referee blew the whistle and the game was over......

Spain, 2-1 win against us......

My mission, my goals, my European Championships...... It's all over......

……

In the stands.

Mission...... I didn't finish it. ”

"yes. Looks like he's going to be sent back to reality right away. ”

"Let's take a look. Even if he didn't change history, at least, the ending that should have been Spain's 1-0 victory was changed by him to Spain's 2-1 victory, and the 'world' has already fluctuated. If he disappears from the Croatian national team's roster, then he is afraid that he has returned to the real world. ”

"Then let's go check it out."
