Chapter Thirty-Seven: Croatia's Last Weight (Four More Subscriptions!) )
"After entering the second half, the confrontation between the two sides became more intense, with more physical confrontation and foul actions, the fire on both sides was kicked out!"
"The back-to-back header battle, this confrontation is too intense."
Bang!!
Modric and Villa collided together, their heads slammed into each other, and the ball hit their heads and flew high again.
Modric was hit in the head and dizzy.
When he turned his head to look over, Vukojevic and Torres were also battling it out.
But Vukojevic jumped a little higher.
"Beautiful!"
Modric yelled when Vukojevic cleared the ball, and the moment Vukojevic landed, he saw Vukojevic's ankle visibly tilting to the right as he stepped on the ground.
Yes~~~!!!!
A scream.
Vukojevic fell straight to the ground.
Beep beep !!
Under a shrill whistle.
The referee immediately rushed over.
The Croatian players also immediately surrounded them.
Suke hurriedly ran over, and he saw Vukojevic clutching his ankles, breaking out in a cold sweat in pain.
Soon, the team doctor came on the field to check it out.
After completing the examination, the team doctor shook his head and signaled that Vukojevic could not continue the game.
"Fuck!"
Su Ke couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
In the end, Vukojevic limped off the pitch with the help of the team doctor.
Dujmovic came off the bench.
'Vukojevic has a sprained ankle and it could lead to some defensive problems for Croatia at the back, which is not good news.
'At the start of the second half, Spain were under a lot of pressure, especially after Xavi's frequent drop-backs, and they were able to get the ball out of the back.
"In the second half, the two sides rotated offensively and defensively."
The Austrian narrator explained loudly.
As a spectator, the level of excitement in this game is already high without supporting the team.
And with the fierce confrontation, the smell of gunpowder is also full.
It's fair to say that Vienna's local fans are a feast for the eyes.
And for the fans on both sides of the game, they are still anxious and uneasy.
Spain is still lagging behind.
Croatia took the lead, but as time went on, the situation drifted in Spain's favor.
Whether they can withstand the opposition is also a question.
Coupled with Vukojevic's injury, the uncertainty of the match has also increased.
Suke exhaled slowly.
He can run, so can Modric.
But others are choking a little enough.
In particular, Srna and Pranic are no longer able to support the attack from the two full-backs.
They ran up and couldn't go back.
For this reason, Croatia began to adopt a conservative defense more and intended to stick to the score.
But the game was turning against them.
"Hold it off as long as you can!"
Suke frowned.
The worst case scenario is a draw with Spain and then extra-time.
During the entire 30 minutes of extra time, Suker was able to use the form recovery card again, and Spain's physical strength almost fell, and the time was a one-sided slaughter by Suker.
For this reason, at this stage, what they need most is to stabilize the defense.
Especially when Vukojevic went off injured and lost the defensive barrier, Simunic's colander attribute is the biggest concern for them.
"Retreat! Drawdown! ”
Croatia began to defend on all fronts.
Spain, on the other hand, felt like it had found an opportunity.
"Let's change people!"
The veteran coach Aragonés immediately made a substitution.
Senna, David. Silva is off.
Cesc Fabregas, Xavi. Alonso comes on.
Seeing this substitution, Su Ke almost scolded his mother.
What a fucking arrogance!
Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas, Xavi. Alonso, David. Silva, with so many top midfielders, is estimated to be the only one in Spain.
And that's still without counting the case of Cazorla.
After Spain's substitutions, the control of the midfield increased further.
The formation also changed to 4-2-3-1.
Villa and Andres Iniesta served as the two wings.
Xavi, Cesc Fabregas, Xavi. Alonso's triangle midfield position.
There is also a single arrow of Torres in front, and the impact is even better.
"Be careful!"
Su Ke said in a deep voice.
He knew very well that Spain's substitution position was meant to attack.
Sure enough, when the game started again, Spain's offensive became sharper, and the midfield's control was strong to the point of perversion.
Suker has dropped back into the half-court defense.
Even Mandzukic retreats from time to time.
Croatia's overall defence was compressed inside the penalty area, while Spain were around the penalty area, constantly passing the ball.
With their successive passes, Croatia struggled to find the right moment to make a tackle.
Even, they don't dare to rashly kick, once they are passed by the opponent, with the ability of these people, there is the possibility of breaking the goal or even passing the threatening ball.
For this reason, Croatia can only encircle and intercept again and again, and try to push the opponent out of the big penalty area.
"Keep up! Come on! ”
Suker immediately rushed towards Iniesta and lowered his center of gravity.
Once Iniesta wants to break through, Suker will have to take down the opponent at the risk of taking his cards.
Iniesta also looked at Suker, he passed the ball sideways, and he had no intention of going toe-to-toe with Suker.
Even if he passed Su Ke, with Su Ke's explosive power and speed, he could catch up immediately.
Cesc Fabregas watched as the ball rolled towards him and also towards Croatia.
In this position, he could shoot with his feet, but he didn't do that, and immediately stepped forward.
"Cesc Fabregas in the box!"
Suddenly, the Croatian fans became nervous.
Cesc Fabregas only took one step before Modric rushed up.
At this point, Cesc Fabregas again split the ball to the left and distributed the ball directly to Villa on the left.
After Villa stopped the ball, he looked up at the penalty area.
Taking advantage of the fact that Srna did not catch up immediately, he used the outside instep to rub the ball directly into the penalty area.
"Fight for the top!"
Simunic jumped to his feet, and with a height of 190 centimeters, he overwhelmed the Spanish players, plucked onions on dry ground, and shook his head to clear the ball.
But before Rakitic could get to the landing point, the ball was lost to Xavi. Alonso got it.
At this very moment, Harvey. Alonso saw the goalkeeper standing to the left, while there was a clear gap on the right.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Harvey. Alonso shoots straight from distance.
Bang!
The ball was in mid-air and scurrying towards Croatia's goal.
However, in the path of the ball, Simunic suddenly appeared, and he blocked it with his chest.
Hum!
Simunich snorted and fell backwards.
But the force of this ball was too great, and although it had been unloaded, it still flew to the right side.
Torres jerked into the spot and rushed to the landing spot.
"Guard against him!"
Modric broke out in a cold sweat.
Pranic immediately followed.
Torres made a direct shot to trick Pranic into making a block, but the former flicked his feet, adjusted his position, and volleyed hard with his right foot.
It was a shot from a tight angle.
The ball went between the goalkeeper and the post!
Swish!!
The ball touches the net.
The entire Happel Stadium became quiet, and the next second, the Spanish fans were boiling.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ——
"Fernando. Torres! Crucial goal!! Equalized! We equalised and we still had a chance! There's still time!! ”
The Spanish commentator cheered excitedly: "The matadors did not give up, they tenaciously equalized and at the same time pulled the scales of victory in our favor again." ”
"Come on! Lads! ”
Seeing this goal, the Croatian fans hugged their heads one by one.
How happy in the first half, how sad in the second half.
The current situation is really not very favorable for them!
Off the field, Vansted Yak did not look at the pitch, but lowered his head and wrote hard.
After a moment he turned his head and shouted; "Simic, Petritsch ready to play."
Bilic, who was on the side, suddenly said: "Are you going to strengthen the defense?" Shouldn't you attack? ”
Vansteak turned his head in surprise and explained; "You have to strengthen your defense and at the same time target it when you hit the counter-attack."
"You want Suker to play center forward and activate Suke's combat power?"
"Almost!" Vansteak nodded and added; "But not Suke, in the final period, I intend to put the weight of victory on . On Duimovich! ”
"Tommy?"
Bilic was stunned.
