Chapter 30: Isn't This the Athletics Team? (One more begging for subscription!) )
Belarusian defender Kashevsky looked at Suker celebrating in the corner, his heart full of weakness.
Judging from the confrontation just now, he had done everything he could to stop Su Ke, but he still couldn't form an effective restriction on him.
Can't pull it!
Can't push!
Suke's judgment of the landing point is so accurate, and in the face of this kind of top striker, the judgment of the moment is particularly important.
But the current situation is that they can't keep up with the rhythm of Suker and even Croatia's counter-attack.
It's so fast!
From the start of the counter-attack, it can be a threat to the goal and even a goal in just 2-3 feet.
Their players didn't even retreat, they had already conceded the ball.
Belarus have been placed in Group 6 of World Cup qualifying, which includes Croatia and England.
That in itself is a matter of utter despair for them.
England's performance was outstanding.
And Croatia, which has Suker, the team that has just won the European Championship, is even stronger.
Kashewski didn't want to admit his weakness, but when facing Suker, he had to admit that there was a huge gap between the two.
"Suke! Final word! ”
"The timing of the header and the action during the confrontation are just right, Belarus is completely unable to limit Suker, this is a super striker belonging to Croatia!"
Croatian commentator Klašić shouted loudly.
"Since Suker's return to the league, he seems to have been completely unaffected by injuries, but our hearts are still full of fears that this rising superstar in Croatia will be ruined by injuries, but now after watching this goal, we believe that Suker is still the same Suker, and voila! What a great kick he played! ”
Klašiwicz's voice is transmitted to all corners of Croatia through television sets. At the same time, it was also the most intense outburst of voices from the Croatian fans.
A healthy Souk is the best reward for Croatia!
At Euro 2008, they won the championship!
And now, the young tartan army is about to show their sharp minions towards the World Cup.
"It feels like the way we play has changed!"
On the sidelines, Bilic touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
In the past, Croatia was fast, but it was not as crisp as it is now.
I can't say that the rhythm drags, but there will always be more conduction and shifting swings.
But now, Croatia are playing resolutely!
This feeling is especially strong!
"It's an add-on of the European Championship winners!" Vansteak looked down at what he was writing in his notebook, and he couldn't sit back during the game, carefully recording the form characteristics of each player.
"Confidence!"
Vansteak tapped lightly on his chest and said: "In the past, we were challengers, and our mentality was more of an upward state, so we will play more conservatively, but after winning the European Cup, our mentality has changed!" ”
"The king of Europe, which in itself makes Croatia stand at the top of the whole of Europe, we are the benchmark in Europe, based on the Euros recognized as the strongest team, which means that we don't have to adapt to the tactics of other teams, but other teams need to adapt to our tactics to fight against each other."
"After the European Championships, the overall self-confidence began to show, Rakitic, Kranica, Mandzukic and Modric, they all pursued more simple and efficient counter-attacking mode, 2-3 feet in front of the opponent's goal, and the fourth kick was the counter-attacking mode we were pursuing."
"Faster than ever! Stronger! More penetrating, when the opponent has not retreated, directly penetrate the opponent's defense, which not only requires tacit cooperation, but also needs a strong enough striker. ”
Vansteak looked up and said in a haughty manner; "And we have all of these!"
Swish!
On the field, Modric turned around and immediately shoved the ball forward.
At the same time, Suker and Mandzukic made a cross run, Suker pulled the ball to the right, Mandzukic pulled to the left, and instantly pulled a forward gap in the middle.
Rakitic took advantage of the situation and ran wildly.
Su Ke was in the bottom position, and after a quick stop to get rid of it, he immediately connected a sweeping pass.
The ball was passed into the six-yard penalty area, and before the Belarusian goalkeeper could react, Rakitic pushed the ball with a step arch and the ball drilled into the net in front of the goal.
In the 19th minute, Croatia scored another goal.
The goal doubled Croatia's lead and gave them an edge to their advantage.
The Belarusian players were a little dazed.
They couldn't keep up with Croatia at all.
It's as if the two sides are playing two kinds of football.
"What a quick counterattack!"
In Spain, Real Madrid's head coach room, Manuel Pellegrini watched Croatia's counter-attacking efficiency on the TV and couldn't help but marvel.
Manuel Pellegrini is also a manager who advocates counter-attacking, defending well is the first step, and attacking in an instant is the second step.
But his counter-attack was nowhere near Croatia's.
He was curious about how Croatia's coaching staff would advance the counter-attack while deploying resources as a whole.
Judging from the current situation, Suke's impact has been fully mobilized.
For Manuel Pellegrini, Suker can master a wide range of attacking styles, but a pure goalscorer is his ideal form.
Of course, it is possible to change Suke's style according to the needs of tactics.
But looking at this game, who can refuse such a Suker with the impact of a strong defensive line?
It's just that the counterattack wasn't created by Su Ke alone.
Luka Modric, Mandzukic, Rakitic, Kranica including Vukojevic and two full-backs were involved in counter-attacking mode.
But this counterattack needs a fulcrum!
It is the core of the offensive and defensive conversion.
At first, Manuel Pellegrini thought Modric was the heart of the team, and the heart of United's midfield had the ability.
But he soon discovered that this was an effect that could not be kicked out by a single core.
The counterattack is too fast!
Although Luka Modric was also involved in the counter-attack, others had their own responsibilities.
And how to allocate these resources, and form this tacit understanding, is a key.
Manuel Pellegrini racked his brain to think about the key points of the problem, and if this problem is solved, Real Madrid can also adapt to this template in the future to fight back.
Pellegrini needs some time to look into it, though.
Milan, Italy.
Jose Mourinho is also keeping an eye on this game.
He is focusing on this game purely because of Srna, who he hopes will show more in attack next season.
But when he looked at it like this, he was addicted.
Croatia's counter-attacking pattern is definitely different than it used to be.
It's too fast-paced!
With high pressing, almost the whole game was controlled by them.
It's not active control, it's passive control!
Active control is the kind of Spain and Barcelona that keep the ball through constant passing and push forward.
That's the initiative to have the ball!
Croatia is in a different position.
They are passive off-ball control!
Use constant running and blocking to limit the opponent's passing lanes, force the opponent into their intended position, or trap, and then slowly eat away at the opponent.
Two templates!
Two styles, but the ultimate goal is the same.
It's all about controlling the rhythm!
In Mourinho's view, this off-ball control is more in line with his tactical thinking.
On the notebook, dense lines are drawn, many of which point to the forward, scribbled and altered, and there is a lot of chaos.
But in the end, Mourinho drew two circles on Modric and Rakitic to make a mark.
"Two backs sweep a wide range, one of the backs is mainly responsible for defense, and the other is responsible for organizing, playing and switching between attack and defense, which is also Modric's job, but in order to release pressure on Modric, a role of Rakitic has been added next to him, mainly for the work of the ball, which is also the secret of Croatia's rapid counterattack!"
"Two core points!"
Mourinho's eyes narrowed slightly, and he tapped the cap on the table.
"It's not enough, the two full-backs, Srna and Pranic, these two are on the side."
As he spoke, Mourinho frowned.
"Running like this, can you really have a ball to digest such a strenuous physical exertion?" Mourinho pursed his lips and complained: "Isn't this the track and field team!" ”
