Chapter 7 Two Dollars in One (One More Subscription!) )
"The goal came so fast!"
"Just 19 seconds into the game, Suker scored!"
The Swiss on-site commentator sighed again and again, and his tone also became excited;
"This is Croatia! The young team, the young style of play, there is no temptation, there is no retreat, there is only attack and aggression, they are indomitable and create a wonderful goal! “
"Listen! They completely ignited the enthusiasm of the court! ”
Rumble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ——
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ——
The 20,000 Croatian fans at the scene were boiling.
The cheers were like erupting volcanoes.
They stomped their feet in excitement and the stadium seemed to be in the middle of the evening, when Croatia lit the first flame for Euro 2008.
Not only the Swiss commentators, but also other major commentator platforms are also commenting on the goal.
"So decisive! Too confident! ”
"Dujmovic's long-range shot was too resolute, and Suker's follow-up shot completely opened up the situation!"
"Croatia gave Poland a blow to the first kick from the start, and that's what happens when you don't defend clearly against Croatia."
On the field, Suker had already rushed to the corner area to celebrate.
After sliding to his knees one by one, Suke threw punches hard into the stands.
His actions also drew violent cheers from the fans at the scene.
One by one, the Croatian fans blushed with excitement and shouted to Suke hysterically,
This is not a European Championship qualifier!
It's not a friendly either.
It's the group stage of the European Cup!
Suker's goal gave Croatia the lead, and it was such a quick goal, how could they not be excited.
"Dry up!!"
"Shout!"
Suker kept urging the fans to cheer loudly.
With Su Ke's command, the cheers also became louder and louder.
Croatia's teammates were quick to follow suit.
"Awesome!"
"Goal! Goal! It's really in! ”
"That's too strong!"
Modric, Dujmovic, Mandzukic and others threw Suker to the ground, and they screamed with excitement.
On the sidelines, as the Croatian coach, Bilic also threw punches hard.
It's just that he didn't run around and celebrate fiercely as usual, it is estimated that the game has just started, and despite the goal, there is still some reason for being nervous.
Vansted was also delighted.
Croatia are the first to take the lead, and their squad is already stronger on paper, so they will be able to play better.
On the bench, Perisic looked at the pitch in a daze, looking at Suker.
He was also very excited when Suker scored, after all, it was also Croatia's step towards victory.
But at the same time, Suker's goalscoring efficiency also makes him feel urgent.
He has to perform better, not only for club but also for country.
On the Polish side, there was silence.
The Polish coach is Rafael Leao. Ben Haaker, this is a Dutch veteran.
With gray hair and a slightly thin figure, he looked at the court at a loss at this time.
He thought Croatia's counterattack would be fierce, but he didn't expect it to be so intense.
And, Croatia is also very lucky.
This goal was scored by Suker.
But more credit goes to Dujmovic's decisive long-range shot.
The problem is that Ben Hack underestimated Croatia's attacking resolve.
Without any temptation, he showed his sword directly at the beginning and even scored a goal.
Ben Hack flinched a little at this point.
Do you want to continue to be tough with Croatia?
In the end, he decided to believe his teammates.
"Don't worry about conceding the ball, adjust as soon as possible."
Ben Hack shouted towards the pitch.
On the pitch, the Polish players were also quick to adjust their form, and they had to attack.
Croatia, on the other hand, retreated to the half-time after finishing their celebrations, and when the kick-off was played again, they still quickly stepped up.
"Fuck!"
Polish midfielder Marius. Lewandowski couldn't help but scold.
Around him, Suker, Mandzukic and Rakitic have formed a circle to prevent him from taking the ball out and closing in.
"Marius is restricted, can he pass the ball!"
At that moment, Marius tried to flick the ball across the space, and Mandzukic slammed into it, and the ball landed behind Marius.
Marius hurriedly turned around to continue protecting the ball.
But at this moment, a foot reached out and pulled the ball away.
"Sooke got the ball!"
Marius immediately fought back and pressed for it.
Suker smashed the ball and twisted his waist, turned the outside instep outward and stuffed the ball into Marius's crotch, his body jumped slightly, dodged the opponent's sweeping leg, and completed the pass very easily.
The Polish players wanted to continue pressing, but Suker had already passed the ball out.
Bang bang!!
Croatian fans as well as local fans applauded.
They applauded Suke's success.
Luka Modric received a return pass from Suker, and when the ball came to Modric's feet, it basically meant that Croatia were in possession again.
Poland began to quickly retreat to the defense.
Croatia, under the deployment of Modric, gradually pressed forward.
Suker and Mandzukic were at the front, and the two were standing in parallel positions.
But the two also retreated from time to time.
When one person retreats, the other moves closer to the gap behind him, which makes the Polish defenders afraid to follow.
Despite being a diamond-shaped midfielder, Croatia have three midfielders who can play against Poland due to the retreat of the attack, and will not fall behind in numbers.
But Croatia weren't content with a single goal.
They often threaten to break through in wide positions,
Rakitic and Dujmovic kept coming in with crosses.
Suker and Mandzukic are also fighting for the top again and again, gradually finding their form.
28 minutes.
Taking advantage of the retreat of Suker and the overall retraction of the Polish backline, Modric directly diagonally plugged the ball, which crossed Suker and drilled towards the gap behind Suker's retreat.
And there, Rakitic cut forward from the side at high speed and received the ball to the bottom line.
At this time, Croatia has Mandzukic in the middle and Dujmovic in the back.
Luka Modric is also closing in on the penalty area.
Suke thrust forward at high speed towards the front point.
"Pass it over!"
Sooke shouted.
Rakitic passed the ball almost subconsciously.
Suker's body jumped slightly, not jumping wide, and at the same time curled the ball with the arch of his left foot in the direction of the left-hand post behind him, and the ball drilled under the crotch of the Polish full-back and rolled towards the near post.
It was an unconventional goalscoring move.
It's also an attempt.
But Poland didn't expect Suker to shoot like that.
The Polish goalkeeper stood stunned as everyone stared at Suker as he tucked the ball into the goal, but could not stop him.
"Scored a goal!!
"Entered the !! again"
The Swiss commentator shouted excitedly.
"Croatia's second goal, Sooker's own goal, an imaginative way of shooting."
'Poland didn't have a chance to contain Suker at all, and if he let Suker shoot like that, he conceded two goals.
With two goals down, Poland's situation became completely passive.
At this moment, Polish coach Ben Hack was completely panicked.
He will be midfielder Marius. Lewandowski came off and replaced him with a defender, Pazdan.
That's all he can do and maintain the defensive ability of the backline.
It doesn't matter if you score or not, you have to stabilize the defense first.
If Croatia are allowed to continue playing like this, they will be kicked out.
Croatia forced Poland to make a substitution in less than 30 minutes.
This also made the European teams who were watching this game feel very threatened.
From the point of view of this game, there was certainly an element of overconfidence in Poland, but Croatia also played very well.
Arguably, Croatia are one of the best in terms of form at the moment.
It also led to two quick goals.
Before the end of the first half, Poland showed signs of being opened, and the back line was gradually in a stage of collapse.
The trend of this game has many national team managers worried.
This Croatian side is a little more dangerous than they thought.
They're also starting to think about how they're going to play if they run against Croatia.
