The Spaniards are still playing a game of "rat grab" for us with their usual possession tactics. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info They are not in a hurry to attack at all, their attack is very slow, basically putting the ball between Xavi and Iniesta, and constantly falling back and forth. The rest of their players, like the duo's auxiliary stars, worked tirelessly for the two men, making five or six passes in a row before the ball returned to Xavi or Iniesta......

We didn't touch the ball for two minutes, and in the opening three minutes, apart from the first minute we organised an attack and a shot on goal, the rest of the game was spent in possession by the Spaniards. They used possession to keep us at the edge of the penalty area, and even Mandzukic was back in the box to help defend - however, Mandzukic ordered me in the name of Big Brother not to retreat, but to at least stand near the centre circle and wait for their big foot to break down. As long as I have the opportunity, I must fight back, and with my physical condition and stamina, it should not be a problem to fight back five or six times!

But......

At this time, Harvey suddenly picked up speed!

Xavi speeds up with the ball! Everyone was waiting for him to pass from the left corner of the box to David Silva in the middle, but he stopped passing the ball and went straight into the box! Sildenfeld and Joelluka were shocked, Sildenfeld rushed out of the penalty area and pressed towards Xavi, trying to cut off Xavi's ball, but Xavi's passing ability, even compared to Iniesta, how could he let Syldenfeld snatch the ball so easily! He only used a light pull action to directly trick Sildenfeld to the ground, at this time, only Giorluca was left in the backline, and the gap was much larger in an instant!

The back line is in a hurry! I couldn't stand it anymore, so I hurriedly ran in the direction of our penalty area from the middle circle position!

But it's too late......

Xavi broke through Sildenfeld, and Giorluka had to let go of David Silva to fill Xavi's place, but Xavi's pass immediately went to David Silva's feet like an eye!

David Silva shoots home!

Pletikosa made a heroic save! The ball was pounced, but it didn't fly far!

At this time, Spain's mascot - "Golden Boy" Torres picked up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to shoot, and with a gentle rub shot, Pleticosa, who had fallen, could no longer stand up!

The ball is in! In the fifth minute, Spain scored a goal for us!

I was immediately frozen! The pace of running back unconsciously stopped!

I saw Bilic on the bench on the sidelines, pounding the grass. He certainly couldn't have imagined that it would be so difficult to fight Spain!

The strength of our team, compared to them, is like a heaven and earth...... We could see hope of beating Italy, but for Spain, it was only a few minutes into the game and the little hope of winning that we had before the game disappeared without warning! All our hopes are – counter-attacking, star-shot shots, combined with headers...... Now it seems that it is basically impossible to achieve! The midfielder can't hold the ball at all, and the defense of the midfield is like paper paste under the pressure of Xavi and Iniesta! What's more, now Modric has a yellow card on his body!

What to do, what to do, what to do!

I ran back to my own half, found Modric in a daze, and said: "Modric, don't be afraid, we can't just be scared to death just because we conceded a goal...... Let's go ahead and shoot with our headers, and if we can pull one back quickly, we can definitely play against Spain! ”

However, Modric said with a glazed look in his eyes: "Chuso...... Wigginstic ...... But do you really think Casillas will not be able to deal with the kind of shot he has seen once...... Did you see it...... His shot just now, he was firmly saved! ……”

“…… I see it...... But is there any other way we can do it? ……”

"Yes, we can defend and then give them another lethal blow in the second half when the Spanish team is down in fitness......

"However, they have the initiative to possess the ball, and we, as the defender, are the ones who run more, how can we be more physical than them?"

"Hehe, we have one more man who is more physically fit than the Spaniards, isn't we?"

"Who's that guy?"

“…… You're stupid, you, Chusovikinstic, that person is you! ”

……

That person is me......

If you can't use a quick attack to tear through the opponent's defense, use your physical strength to drain the opponent's strength......

Well, I'm going to defend too!

I discussed it with Mandzukic up front, and he was up front to contain the opposing backline, while I, with more energy, participated in the defense, used strength and fitness, and the advantage of one more midfield after recovering one, to force the Spaniards!

So now, among the four people in the midfield, Modric is the back, Perisic is the left midfielder, Rakitic is the front midfielder, Dujmovic is the right midfielder, and I, from the striker, retreated to the shadow striker, ready to help Rakitic, and fight with Xavi and David Silva! The Spaniards didn't expect such a change and Xavi's possession began to get tougher.

However, even so, Spain's midfield line still controlled possession. They had 72 per cent of possession, compared to us. In other words, we couldn't even get 30 per cent possession. You know, in the last game we played Italy, the team that was also the World Cup winner, facing us, didn't even have 50% possession! As a European Latin team, it is a shame that we were suppressed by the Spaniards in possession of less than 30%!

If we're ahead, that's it...... But now, we're down 0:1!

The possession was lost, the score was behind, there was only one person left in the frontcourt, and the whole team was overwhelmed by the forced possession...... This kind of game, where is it like a European Cup game, it is like a college student playing a middle school student, walking a corner!

How long do we have to endure before we can usher in the moment of counterattack......
