Vienna, the capital of Austria.

Back here again, the crazy atmosphere of the European Championship has become even more vibe.

Especially after entering the knockout stage of the European Cup, there are more exciting games, fierce matches and enthusiastic fans, which all form a part of the European Cup.

Fans marching in Croatia are constantly moving through the streets.

In this European Championship, the performance of the Croatian players has made them feel extremely excited.

The last time they reached the quarter-finals of a European Championship was back in 1996.

12 years ago, Davao. Suker and others led the Plaid Army through their crazy summer at the European Championships.

Although it was only a knockout round, it was still very exciting for them.

This was followed by two poor performances at the European Championships, accompanied by Davao. With the retirement of Suker and others, Croatian fans have entered a long wait.

They are looking forward to the re-growth of a group of outstanding talented teenagers in this land.

But God willing!

At Euro 2008, Croatia presented themselves in international competitions with a new look and put in an outstanding performance.

This is a great encouragement for Croatian fans.

Their squad is no longer limited to players from the top five leagues.

Rather, it involves the giants of the five major leagues.

For example, Luka Modric, Vukojevic, Simunic, Simic and so on

It is in the land of Croatia that the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year were born.

Same number 9!

Same Suke!

This time, what kind of glory will the new Suker create with his teammates?

And that's where it all begins.

Vienna, Hungary, Euro 2008 quarter-finals, Croatia against Italy.

In the hotel where Croatia was staying, coach Bilic and assistant coach Vansteak were still having heated discussions before the game.

"No! Can't kick defense! Italy have more experience than us, they know how to play with the length of time, we are a young team, we can run better than them, we have to kill them in one go, not play a tug-of-war with them! ”

Vansteak retorted loudly.

Bilic also said in a deep voice: "But this is the knockout round of the European Cup, every team will be cautious, and I don't want to play defense completely, but be cautious, and try it first." ”

'That's the style of Italy, how many games have they played like this, and once that's the game, the tempo is in their hands, do you think we have more experience than Italy?'

"But that's what all the teams do!"

"That's them, why do you have to learn their way? We're not the same, we should play our own style. ”

"Our style is not yet stable, so it is necessary to draw on those experiences."

"Shit! You're a coward, you're just afraid of being beaten through by Italy's defensive counterattack! ”

"Fart! If I were a coward, I wouldn't have come to you! ”

As the game began, there was a huge tactical disagreement between Bilic and Vansted Yak.

The sound of their quarrels even entered the ears of the players through the corridors.

In Suke's room, everyone gathered together again.

It's just that they didn't speak, but quietly listened to the content of the quarrel between the two.

After a while, the quarrel gradually quieted down, as if the two had reached an agreement.

"Which of them is right, you say?" Srna asked.

Dujmovic: "I prefer Vansterjak's tactics, attacking is our style. ”

"However, Bilic is right, after all, it is the knockout round of the European Championship, and it is no problem to be cautious."

'Italy must have been counter-attacking and their dense defence was very difficult to break through.

With that, the crowd looked at Suke.

At this time, Suke was lying on his side on the bed, one hand supporting his head, and his eyes were empty.

Suker is looking at his own European Championship group stage winners.

I have to say, it has to be the European Cup!

The reward is abundance!

Starting from the group stage, there is bound to be an attribute card for each match.

After three games, Suke saved up four attribute cards.

This is the Champions League knockout round, and the quarterfinals have a chance to get the reward!

Suke even felt that when it came to the semi-finals of the European Cup, he would be able to swipe the diamond card directly.

"Suke? Sucre! ”

At the voice of his teammates, Suke woke up.

"What's wrong?"

Mandzukic looked at Sukedao; "What are you doing?"

Suke: "Daze! ”

Mandzukic sighed: "When is this, you still have the mind to go to the competition venue in a few hours." ”

"That's right! Our opponents are Italy, they have to defend. ”

Suke interrupted with a wave of his hand; "Don't worry, as long as you stabilize the defense, I'll be tasked with scoring goals."

After all, Suker was born in Serie A.

He understands the style of play in Serie A, and whoever dares to say that the entire Serie A team can stop Suker, the club can't do it, and the national team can't do it.

Moreover, the current situation of this Italian team is also very bad.

There will be some difficulties in the game, but Suker doesn't think he's going to lose.

Even, Suker believes that compared to teams with momentum such as Turkey and Russia, the current Italy can no longer even be called a skinny camel.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the Croatian players began to travel by bus to the playing venue.

Due to the altercation between Vansteak and Bilic, the tactics were not completely decided until the morning.

Vanstedak stood in the aisle of the bus, his whole face smelling as if he had eaten.

'It was a 4-4-2 formation'

To put it bluntly, this formation is mainly solid defense, and it is clear that Bilic still controls more of the voice, and Vanst Ajac has also given in.

However, on the basis of this set of tactics, Vansted Yak emphasized flying on both wings.

It's not just the two wingers who fly together, but also the full-backs Srna and Pranic who need to get in and out of the wings frequently.

Vansteak gave in, and Bilic had to make concessions as well.

This is not a purely defensive position, and Vansteak would not have chosen this tactic.

The Croatian players listened to the tactical arrangements as they arrived at the pitch by bus.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ——

The heat wave is surging like a line of fire.

When Suker and other Croatian internationals arrived at the stadium, the Croatian fans on both sides erupted in loud cheers.

Not far away, there are even Croatian live broadcast vehicles, and media reporters occupy both sides of the passage, constantly filming.

Compared to the group stage, the enthusiasm of the fans has become a little stronger.

At the same time, in the field, Davao. Suke, Boban and other meritorious players also appeared at the Happel Stadium.

Both were dressed in suits and leather shoes.

Davao. A smile bloomed on Suke's face, like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Looking at these promising juniors, they went all the way to the knockout round of the European Championship and equalized their best historical results, Davao. Su Ke was also very pleased.

"Do you think they can beat Italy and make history at the Euros?"

Davao. Suke asked, turning his head.

A smile appeared on the corner of Boban's mouth, he knew that Davao. Sooke wanted to hear something, and he thought so too.

"With their performance in the group stage, it's not impossible!" Listening to Boban's words, Davao. Suker was satisfied.

"Hey! Davao! Look here! ”

"Sign me!"

"Say, can we make the cut?"

Davao. Instead of entering the VIP room, Suker came to the stands and was greeted warmly by Croatian fans on either side.

In a good mood, Davao. Sukh is also responsive.

At this moment, the fans suddenly shouted:

"They're starting to warm up! Sucre!!!!!!! ——”

In the tunnel of the players, players from both sides began to walk out one after another.

And when Suker appeared on the pitch, the Croatian fans at the scene, as well as the local fans, erupted in loud cheers.

Although the Italian fans also include AC Milan fans, they are also Suker fans.

But in this game, they can only be opponents!

Hush~~~~~~~~~~~!! ——

The cheers were mixed with boos.

Italian fans are booing Suker.

There were also a small number of fans among them who exercised restraint and did not boo Suk.

Most of these people are AC Milan fans.

Despite being opponents, not booing Suk is a sign of respect they give to the darling of San Siro!
