"The first half is over! We're still in a 1-0 lead, God! We're still ahead! ”

Croatian commentator Krusievic, it is difficult to remain calm at this time.

Croatia's best result in the Euros is the quarter-finals!

If you come out of the group stage, you will be in the quarterfinals!

Since 1996 Davao. After Suke and others created this achievement, they have not been able to make any progress for more than ten years.

Even in the 2004 European Championship, it was eliminated directly in the group stage.

In this European Cup, Croatia won all three games in the group stage, and in the quarterfinals, it beat the last World Cup champion Italy, and the overall performance was simply too eye-catching.

There is no sluggish rhythm, no dull game links, and what you can see is the figure of the boys charging again and again.

"Throughout the first half, we maintained a very intense attacking rhythm, and although this rhythm will be physically demanding, Italy as the defending side must be even more uncomfortable."

"The most important thing is that we made full use of Suker's strong point in attack!"

Speaking of Suker, Klausiewicz blushed.

There are a few differences between the national team competition and the club competition.

Club competitions pay more attention to the overall coordination and tactical selection, which is also the tacit understanding cultivated by the club after years of training together.

But the national team is different, they have very little time to train together all year round.

It's impossible to get them to play that tacit game.

For this reason, it is more likely to choose a strong point, or the explosive effect of the star's thighs.

Sukh is Croatia's super thigh in the absolute sense of the word.

Throughout the first half, Suker got a goal, but his role was much more than that.

His tactical pulling, attention-grabbing, dribbling and even passing the ball up front disrupted the Italian defence.

Although the Italian squad also has Suker's team-mates at the club, they know Suker well, but understanding does not mean that they can keep up with Suker's pace.

At the very least, the restrictive tactics arranged by the Italian coaching staff did not work very well at all.

It also led to a goal for Croatia.

The only pity was that the second goal was blown away.

"Boys, keep it up, you have to take the initiative in the game!" Krausiewicz clenched his fists, his voice trembling nervously.

From this moment on, he began to dream of a moment that would make history.

Croatia will break the history of the European Championship in the new era.

They will make a whole new history.

Although I have thought about this issue before, it is still too far from the European Championship, and I have also thought about it in the group stage, but I have been distracted by the intense competition.

But this time, he saw real hope.

Hope to make history!

It's not just Claušiwicz, it's the Croatian fans as well.

At half-time, the cheers of the Croatian fans in the Happel Stadium never stopped.

They shouted and sang loudly.

They were all singing about the good situation.

Of course, there were a lot of surprises in football and there were 45 minutes left in the game, but they were confident that the lads could win.

Italian locker room.

The Italy international was embroiled in heated discussions.

"We must tighten the restrictions on Suke!"

'The first half speaks for itself.

"Do you still want to defend? We're already behind! ”

"Fight back! Counterattack! The ball is out in the middle of the field! ”

"We want to play too, but do you think it's that easy? These guys in Croatia are too good to run, as long as we look up, they must be in front of us, we raise our legs, they will block! ”

Thinking of these guys who can't run away in Croatia, De Rossi is also a little broken in his heart.

The first half was already very aggrieved.

But in the second half, they couldn't find a way to do it too well.

At this time, Italian coach Donadoni suddenly said: "Toney, we need you." ”

Inside the team, Toney, who is the Bundesliga Golden Boot, raised his head.

"I need someone to pass the ball to me!"

Toni isn't the Suker type, nor is he a pure No. 10.

He needs someone to match him, pass the ball for him and create opportunities for him to score.

Suker can do everything by himself.

But Tony can't!

"We'll help you create that opportunity." After Donadoni finished speaking, he turned to look at the team and said; 'Guys, we're Italy, we're World Cup winners, and our Euros shouldn't end here.'

'I know it's going to be tough but I have to show you enough to be motivated, Croatia are a young team, it's their first European Championship and they're going to play in a hurry, especially in the second half, and we need to take advantage of that!'

'The second half started in 5-10 minutes, Croatia liked to attack and this was our chance!

Donadoni said in a deep voice; "Find the counter-attack and take the chance!"

"The main defense in the second half!"

Vansteak flipped through his playbook and said: "The knockout stage is not the same as the group stage, we do need to play more carefully, especially when we have the advantage, we can play more calmly. ”

"It doesn't matter what Italy does, we just play our rhythm and defend! Then wait for the opportunity to fight back! ”

Vanstellak's meaning is obvious.

No matter what Italy does, he just responds to all changes with the same.

At the same time, Van Sted Jak added: "It's true that Italy are not in good form, but they still have a lot of experience, which reminds us not to take it lightly, especially for me, we are only one goal ahead! ”

"In terms of experience, we are inadequate, so we need to be more careful."

Syllable!

Vansteak closed his notebook and said loudly: "Let's go to the semi-finals together!" ”

Hearing this, everyone's hearts became hot.

Not long after, someone outside the dressing room shouted that he was ready to play.

Players from both sides began to get up and leave the locker room one after another.

Su Ke took a sip of water and adjusted his physical condition to the best and prepared for the second half of the game.

Yes!

As Vansteak said, one goal is not enough insurance, then another one!

When Suker turned out of the players' tunnel, Gattuso also happened to see Suke's back.

His heart became extremely heavy.

Donadoni said a bunch of nonsense.

It's just a rhetorical cannon, and there are no effective tactical adjustments.

If you change it to Lippi, it is estimated that it will be different.

Although after the old man was slapped by himself, the two had a big fight.

But Gattuso still admired the old man who liked to smoke cigars.

At the very least, compared to Donadoni, 'Silver Fox' Lippi has more ideas.

Either way, the current Italian coach is Donadoni.

Now, they're going to have to execute the tactics of the second half.

Whether it's a mouth cannon or chicken soup!

For Gattuso, as long as he can win the game, he can accept it.

And for Gattuso, the most important thing he needs to do is to restrain Suk.

As for how to limit it, Gattuso had a headache.

He's not sure!

But if you are not sure, you have to bite the bullet!

"The players on both sides walked out of the players' tunnel, the halftime break was over, and in the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again!"

"After 45 minutes, Croatia are currently 1-0 ahead of Italy, and for the 2006 World Cup winners, they are now pushed to the brink!"

'Italy need to make a change and based on that, their fate will be decided in the second half.

"Let's wait and see!"

"Will Italy complete the reversal and rebuild the glory of Europe's giants or Croatia, the upstart of the European Cup, who will go all the way and create a new myth of their own!"

"Will they be able to play rhapsody on the stage of international competitions, for their country and for the 4 million people of Croatia, as they did in 1996?"

"Come on! The race is about to begin! ”

Klašivić exclaimed: "The European Championship is brutal, after three rounds of group stage, eight national teams have left the stage of the European Cup, and after this round of matches, four more teams will leave here. ”

"There is only one place to win, and there is only one place to advance!"

"It's Italy or Croatia! Everything will be revealed in 45 minutes! ”
