Maybe it was because of Gao Jun's passion, or maybe it was the start of Shun Lì that made everyone's confidence greater, and even those old international players, their eyes became a little hot. Although few fans in the stands heard Gao Jun's words, they were completely conquered by his performance and began to cheer for the Chinese team

However, on the domestic Internet, there are still a small number of "national blacks" who stubbornly leave dirty marks in countless posts of celebration and praise, but generally only dare to criticize Alihan, and those "Gao Hei" who have always been nitpicking about Gao Jun are basically hiding at the moment

Croatia coach Balic at this time although his face is still calm, but his heart is full of regret, due to the high temperature of the day, in order to reduce unnecessary physical consumption, Balic's pre-game arrangement is to let the team play steadily, who knew that the Chinese team would launch a full onslaught at the beginning of the game, don't they know that this is the most important World Cup game? Didn't they think about strengthening their defense since their last disappointing loss? Didn't their former World Cup semi-finalists, Croatia, feel the slightest bit of awe?

Although Balic, who was completely incomprehensible about this, was a little flustered in his heart, he still decided to continue to implement the style of play determined before the game, and did not mess up because of the lightning goal of the Chinese team. While pretending to be calm, Balic couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, "We are a team that has qualified from the European zone, and we are a strong team that is ready to finish in the top four in this World Cup, how can we be intimidated by an Asian team?" Even the Australian team lost, and you still want to win us? Just one goal behind, you can recover in minutes! ”

It must be admitted. The overall strength of the Croatian team is still stronger than that of the Chinese team, which can be seen from the possession rate of both sides, but the slow offensive rhythm of the Croatian team makes the players in the front court of the Chinese team have enough time to defend, and the defense of 541 is actually not weak, which means that the biggest weakness of the 343 formation is invisibly avoided.

In addition, the midfield organization of the Croatian team does have zài problems, and they are afraid of the rapid counterattack of the Chinese team and dare not press it. The support received by the guide on the front line is very limited, and many of the attacking players rely on the individual ability of the strikers, and many midfielders often can't hold their breath and shoot directly to try their luck, and their luck is not as bad as the Australian team in the last game, and the effect can be imagined

"The Croatian team picked up a pass in the midfield, Xu Yunlong grabbed it in time and destroyed the ball in advance, otherwise it would be dangerous for the big man of the Croatian team to rush into the penalty area after winning the ball." , Liu Jianhong's homework is not enough. He can't name many of the Croatian players, so he can only explain them in such a general way.

And his partner Gong Lei pointed out a benefit of the back three at this time, "In fact, it may be wrong to use three backs in this game, and the three high formations of the Australian team in the last game are different, in this game, the Croatian team is a double striker, although they also have a height advantage, but it is not as exaggerated as the Australian team, although it is still better than our central defenders." But we are three against two, and in actual combat it is often two central defenders who defend one. And when it comes to headers, defenders have to take advantage of them, so Croatia has two big strikers, but they can't replicate the style of play in the last game against Australia. And if we go to the ground, our three centre-backs are more flexible at their feet, and it will be more difficult for Croatia to create much of a threat."

Although due to poor organization in the midfield. The Croatian team's offense is very unsmooth, but their impatience, especially the light and unscrupulous backline, also makes it difficult for the Chinese team to get the opportunity to counterattack quickly, and if the position is attacked, with the current strength of the Chinese team, they want to eat the Croatian team's defense. The difficulty is still not small. In the first 20 minutes, the Chinese team had a total of 4 shots on goal, except for the one when Gao Jun scored, the others were all long-range shots outside the penalty area, none of them hit within the range of the goal frame, but because of the score lead, the national football team was not in a hurry.

However, Zheng Zhi's defensive action was punished in this game, he was in a defense in the penalty area, in the case of waiting for his teammates to come to support, he chose to put his own tackle, and as a result, he shoveled the football and also shoveled the Croatian team's striker No. 9 Pulsho, and the referee of this game is far more severe than the previous game, especially for those actions that may hurt people, and Zheng Zhi's fierce tackle not only gave the Croatian team a penalty, I also received a yellow card, which is a problem

"Now I can only look at Li Leilei, alas, the defensive actions of domestic players are an old problem, and they have long said that they will suffer in the World Series, and it will be fulfilled today. The kind of relaxed scale of the referee in the last game was a rare special situation, and today it is a normal situation. In the next game, the players of the national football team must try to be as careful as possible."

Although he was burdened with countless expectations, he could never force a penalty kick, although Li Leilei judged the right direction again, but the football still got into the net. With this somewhat lucky goal, Croatia pulled the score on the field to 1:1!

In this way, the shape of the Chinese team is not very good, in case of conceding another goal and falling behind, the Croatian team can play the Chinese team counterattack with peace of mind, and then the shortcomings of the 343 formation will be completely exposed, and it is likely to lose worse than the previous game. But Gao Jun walked to the goal and comforted the depressed Li Leilei with a smile, and then yelled at the whole team, "It's just a goal, it's okay, let's continue to attack!" ”

Although the Croatian team's defense is good, they still dare not be careless in the face of the skillful and fast passing between the Chinese team's frontcourt quartet. But as the so-called "100 dense and one sparse", in the 27th minute, the game has been just constantly passing and running, Hao Junmin, who has been constantly passing and running, suddenly cut inside with the ball on the right side, using his excellent dribbling skills to pass two Croatian players in a row, and then was put to the ground by the opponent's back without hesitation, and the Chinese team won a free kick with a good position on the right side of the arc of the penalty area

At this time, Liu Jianhong suddenly came to the spirit, but the joy was mixed with regret, "This opportunity is really rare, but unfortunately Jiayi is not on the field, Alihan must regret it now, if Shao Jiayi starts, with his golden left foot, the possibility of scoring is much higher!" Now there are no players with excellent left-footed free kicks on the national football field, it seems that they can only play cooperation, so this position, if you play cooperation, it seems to be a little too close to the goal"

But the words of the guest Gong Lei don't seem to give Liu Jianhong face, "Zheng Zhi and Rong Hao both stood in front of the ball, although the left-footed free kick skills of the two of them are not as good as plus one, but they are also good among domestic players"

Liu Jianhong didn't hear it, and explained to himself, "Rong Hao started to run, and he shot by himself!" The ball hits the post! Unfortunately, no, the ball is in! It was Sulin, who stepped forward in time to shoot the ball that popped up, and the referee signaled that the goal was valid! The Chinese team was lucky to take the lead again, and now it is 2:1! ”

Gong Lei's evaluation is significantly higher, "Rong Hao's kick is of high quality, although his free kick lacks power, but it is very delicate, and it is all going to the dead corner (I don't understand why Rong Hao's close-range shot is so bad, obviously the footwork and mentality are fine.) Although he didn't score, he helped his teammates score goals, which is actually the same. It was also not easy for him to cut in in time and calmly make up his shots, and of course, the attention of the Croatian defenders was attracted by Gao Jun, which was also a very important reason."

And at this time on the court, Gao Jun was even more excited than Gao Lin who scored the goal, he rushed up to protect Xue Lin, and only let go of his hand after a while. He was so excited, no one understood how important this goal was better than him, "Although it looks unremarkable, it was the first goal scored by a Chinese player other than me in the World Cup, which was enough to help Xu Lin and other international players break the knot, and make them realize that the World Cup is not much different in nature from other games, and it will be easier to play in the future."

For Gao Jun himself, the significance of this goal is also not small, if the Chinese team only Gao Jun can score alone, the Croatian team can rest assured that the defense will focus on Gao Jun, which is a great obstacle to his play, and when the teammates also show the ability to directly threaten the Croatian team's goal, the opponent will no longer dare to stare at Gao Jun alone, he can get more space to move, and for a speed player like Gao Jun, the larger the space, the better

At this time, countless Chinese fans in the stands were also fully mobilized, waving large and small national flags that had been prepared for a long time, turning the stands into a sea of red. And the goal contributors Xue Lin, Rong Hao and even Hao Junmin, who created this free kick opportunity, all enjoyed the praise of the fans.

Domestic fans are also boiling, although they were also very excited when they chased three goals in the last game, but because the Australian team is relatively famous, and the media analysis before the World Cup unanimously identified it as the weakest opponent in the group, so compared with the Croatian team, which is now leading for the second time and is recognized as a second-rate team in Europe, the coolness is obviously incomparable (to be continued......
