"Oops!"

At the Spanish coach's bench, the old coach Aragonés bit his nails and looked solemn.

From the very beginning of the game, Croatia's high pressing completely disrupted their passing.

Spain's attack was a ground attack that needed to be pushed slowly.

This requires the cooperation of the midfield, and even the stability of the big back.

For this reason, they are even more weak in the face of high pressing.

At the same time, Spain are also pressing high and will fight back immediately after conceding a goal.

But Croatia's attacking pattern was one counter-attack.

Luka Modric's precise long ball maximises Suker's impact.

At the same time, Rakitic, Kranica and even the full-backs can provide Suker with the impetus to attack.

Croatia's simple and brutal counter-attacking style has left the Spanish backline in a wrenched manner.

With a threatening striker like Suker combined with this counter-attacking lineup, it is a big killer in front of their backline.

As it stands, Aragonés can only hope that Casillas can save the penalty.

'The penalty was taken by Suker.'

"Suker put the ball at the penalty spot and pulled back to open up the run."

'Sooker hit 90 per cent of his penalties, so will Casillas be able to withstand the pressure and save the penalty?'

The Spanish narrator felt his heart pounding.

If they miss this penalty, they will really have half their foot on the edge of the cliff.

The eyes of tens of thousands of fans in the stadium watched.

Suke took a deep breath to calm his mind.

It's very noisy in the ears.

Cheers and boos mingled.

One can imagine how much pressure this penalty put on Croatian and Spanish fans.

One by one, the Croatian fans bowed their heads and clasped their hands tightly together in prayer.

Spanish fans were also blindfolded, and they did not dare to look directly at this cruel scene.

The air in the entire stadium seemed to freeze.

At this moment, a sharp whistle broke everything.

The whistle blew, and Suke ran decisively.

"Suke Run!"

Klašiwicz clenched his fists tightly.

Davao. Sook felt like his heart was going to jump out of his throat.

Vansteak knelt in front of the dugout.

In their eyes, Suke's movements were like slow motion.

The stretched body is like a roc spreading its wings, and the whole body is slightly tilted to the right, and Suker is using his left foot to make free throws, which gives the feeling of throwing a free throw towards the left side of the goal.

Casillas was also conflicted.

According to the big data, Suker will make more free throws to the right side.

But Casillas ultimately chose to trust his instincts.

He flew straight towards the left side of the goal.

But at that moment, he saw Suke's feet rubbing the ball gently.

The ball curved towards the middle of the goal.

"Spoon! Spoon penalty! ”

Rumble!!!!!!!!!!! ——

The moment the ball crashed into the net, Suker spun and rushed towards the corner.

Tens of thousands of Croatian fans at the scene have gone crazy.

They had to scream with excitement.

"Spoon! At the critical moment, Suker took out the most ornamental spoon penalty, and Casillas was completely deceived by Suke!! ”

"Sooker accurately hits the penalty, Croatia's second goal!!"

"In 41 minutes, Croatia leads Spain 2:0! ——”

Klašiwicz exclaimed: "This is the closest we've come to a European Championship final!" ”

Suker's goal sent the whole stadium boiling again.

Even the media reporters looked at the stadium in disbelief.

Spain were beaten by Croatia to score two goals in a row.

It's incredible.

For Croatia, on the other hand, they had a huge advantage after their second goal.

"Isn't it awesome?"

"Awesome!"

"Who's awesome?"

"Suke!!"

Suke was surrounded by the crowd, howling vigorously.

At this time, Su Ke was also extremely excited.

It doesn't matter if you're a Spanish dynasty or a legion of matadors.

If it's time to plate it, I'll plate it!

Second goal!

Huge advantage in the first half!

They just need to hold on to their advantage and have a good chance of winning the game.

Final!

European Cup final!

Croatia's second goal livened up the pitch.

Croatian fans, in particular, don't know how to celebrate.

They could only call Suke's name over and over again.

The Spanish players protested to the referee and asked him to urge Croatia to celebrate.

With four minutes to go before the end of the first half, they need to launch a counter-attack as soon as possible.

In the final four minutes, Spain launched the most ferocious successive attacks.

Andres Iniesta became Spain's sharpest weapon.

When the pass was ineffective, he used his dribbling to continuously attack the Croatian defence.

Villa and Torres are also starting to gain momentum.

On 44 minutes, in the face of Iniesta's strong breakthrough, Vukojevic had no choice but to bring down the opponent and give Spain a set-piece in the middle of the big penalty area.

In the face of this set-piece, Spain opted for a tactical free kick, distributed the ball to the wing, and took advantage of Croatia's eagerness to force them out of the danger zone, and finally sent the ball to the back post after successive passes.

Villa slotted the ball past Croatian goalkeeper Pletikosa and into the back of the net.

Spain pulled a goal back in the last minute of the first half!

"Thank God! Thanks David. Bilic, in the last minute of the first half, we pulled a goal back, and it was enough to give us a long sigh of relief! ”

"But the question is just as serious, how do we deal with Croatia's high press in the second half? It's going to take a good job from the Spanish coaching staff, and if it's still the rhythm of the first half, it's not good for us. ”

Intermission.

Spanish locker room.

"In the second half, Xavi is back in the position, you need to drop back more often, help the ball out of the back, your job is more inclined to take the ball out of the back, and when Xavi is back, everyone else has to stay in motion, always pay attention to the gap, no one can be lazy, once someone is lazy, we can't create space!"

Spanish veteran Aragonés said in a deep voice.

It had already been proven in the first half that Senna alone could not clear the ball.

For this, he can only hand over the heavy responsibility to Harvey.

He believes that with Xavi's abilities he can do well.

On the other side, the dressing rooms in Croatia.

Vansted Ark also flipped through his notebook and said: "The second half is even more crucial, although we are currently leading by one goal, but we still can't relax in the slightest, especially after 70 minutes, the decline in fitness will inevitably lead to the damage of our high pressing, so we can't always be in a state of high pressing, but choose the moment of pressing at the right time!" ”

"At the same time, put more energy into the defensive end, we can't guarantee that Spain will not be able to respond effectively, so we must be vigilant, the goal conceded in the first half has shown the problem, Spain still has the ability to threaten our goal, especially under the continuous high pressing, after the physical exhaustion, Spain will launch the most fierce attack."

"Vukojevic, you've got a yellow card, you have to be careful with your movements."

"Luca needs to make a foul if necessary!"

Vansted Jark methodically arranged the tactical set-up for the second half.

Despite being a one-goal lead at the moment, it is not a safe situation against Spain.

Spain have the ability to score goals at any time and are more capable of threatening the backline.

Whew! Whew!

Srna was constantly panting.

In this game, he was physically exhausted.

Based on Croatia's tactics, he as a full-back needs to frequently go up and down the side of the pitch, and throughout the first half, he doesn't know how many times he rushed from his own bottom line to the opponent's bottom line, and so on.

"How much longer?" Vansteak asked, looking at Srner.

"Up to 10 minutes."

At this time, Srna did not dare to say big things.

If you can't run, you can't run!

Someone needs to be replaced.

"Pranic?" Vansted asked another full-back.

"I'm pretty much the same." Pranic spoke up.

Vansteak nodded; "I see, Simic goes out to warm up first, ready to play!"

He said in a deep voice: "The second half is very crucial, the rhythm can be relatively slow, but it must be steady!" ”
