Chapter 391: A Difficult Showdown
When I scored that barbed shot, the Czechs kicked off in midfield and soon started attacking again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoThe Czech team did not have any frustration, although the ball pierced their net, but they had such a tenacious will that they were not affected by the ball in the slightest. The Czechs did not give up attacking because they were scored a goal by me, they focused on defense, and even, in order to avenge this goal, the Czechs' attack seemed to have become stronger.
The Czechs handed the ball to forward midfielder Bogu, who had good ball control and got past our midfielder Boban. At this time, our defensive strength in the middle was only left with only central defender Simic. At this time, full-back Giarni quickly moved closer to the middle to assist Simic in defending Borg. Although Borg's skills are good, his speed is not very fast, and in the face of Jairney's pressing, Borgg is still a little uncomfortable. Coupled with Simic's combined pressing, he finally snatched the ball from Borg's feet. At this time, Simic kicked the ball out, the ball flew near the midfield, the Czech team's defender Nedved and our forward Prosinetski competed, the two jumped high together, Prosinetski has been trained many times in the gravity training room, the bounce has become very good, but Nedved's physical fitness, but it has never been far behind, between the two, fight an equal match!
The two jumped high and hit their heads together, while the ball hit Prosinetski's head and rolled to the ground. Although their heads collided, there was no bleeding, and as soon as the two landed, they immediately chased after the ball bouncing on the ground. Prosinetsky, who was slightly quicker than Nedved, took the first kick and kicked the ball out, but Nedved could not break Prosinetski's ball and could only sigh at the ball. However, although the ball was kicked out, the direction was not grasped well, Nemecek intercepted the ball from another angle, and by this time our midfield had become empty, so Nemechek himself carried the ball forward, past Boban, and towards our back line!
With only three men left in our back line, Kuka rushing into our back line, Nemechek coming forward as a midfielder, and Borg and Kuka up front, it was difficult for our back three to control their attack. So Nemeček handed the ball to Borg, who took a few steps and passed the ball to Nemechek, and the two-on-one cooperation between the two played very beautifully, Simic had to keep returning to the back, at this moment in addition to Simic, including Jairni, and another fullback Stimachi, have returned to the defensive position in the middle, as three central defenders to defend. After compressing the defensive camp in this way, the defense in the middle was finally stabilized. However, Nemechek, very smart, he immediately passed the ball to the left side, Smitchell on the left side of the side with the ball forward, because Stimache has been recovered, Smitchell on the side is simply like no one, he has been killed in our big penalty area, Stimac went to defend, Smitchell was very fast, the ball was crossed, Nemechek followed in the middle, a shot, fortunately Boban came back in time, a flying tackle, Nemechek in the middle of the shot kicked out, the ball flew out of the bottom line, Corner kick.
This corner kick of the Czech team was taken by Nedved. Under normal circumstances, the Czech team's corner kicks will be taken by Borg, but this time it was Nedved who took the penalty, which shows the importance that the Czech team attaches to Nedved as a newcomer.
Nedved sent a corner kick and the Czech striker Kuka jumped high and jumped high, his bounce was not bad, and in the face of Simic's challenge, Kuka's header was not overwhelming, but he was able to win from time to time. This time Kuka won the header with a header headed towards the goal of Radici. However, the header was not very powerful, and Radici easily got on the ball, and then he kicked it out and the ball flew straight to the midfield.
Near midfield, we don't have any players in the Croatian squad anymore. Czech midfielder Nemecek stopped the ball and when no one was defending, he immediately fired another big kick into our box.
It really doesn't work. Once the midfielders retreat to the backline, then there will be no one in the midfield to fight for the header, but if there are no midfielders at the back, it will lead to a very empty backline, and once the two full-backs lean into the middle, the two sides will be empty.
The Czechs had clearly caught our goal, so they didn't keep the ball too much in midfield, but quickly passed through the midfield and burned the fire to our backline. It's a tactic that makes it very difficult for us to defend and even though the Czechs are not particularly strong up front, it will be very difficult for their midfielders and wide players to form a scale and surround our backline.
I suddenly remembered the birdcage tactics that Portugal had used against us. In fact, now the Czech team is dead to us, it can be regarded as another tactic, although they are not like the Portuguese team, there are so many people to surround our backline, but they are also encircling us after all, but their encirclement is just for the purpose of attacking.
If we want to break through such a cage, and when we are few in number, we have to have more courage and use stronger pressing to force the other side to make mistakes.
How can you force the other party to make mistakes? The players at the back have worked very hard, of course they can't be asked to take on such a responsibility, and I am the only one who can take on such a responsibility......
Back to defense! I have to get back to the backline! Only by returning to the back line will I be able to assist our entire Croatian team and form a numerical advantage locally! The Czechs may be able to put in an attack of 8 or 9 men, but if we want to have a relative advantage in numbers, we need to have more than 9 men in defence!
Then in the forward line, it was enough to leave Boksic alone, and I decided to go back to the back line and help defend!
