Chapter 10 Huge Promotion Advantage (One More Subscription!) )

At the end of the game, Croatia slaughtered South Korea 7:0.

A game directly kicked the mentality of Korean fans into disillusionment.

At the same time, they will also leave the World Cup stage in South Africa in a dismal situation.

After losing two of the three games in the group stage, the South Korean team was doomed to elimination.

Croatia won two games to secure a place in the knockout rounds ahead of schedule.

"The two games were locked in advance, the Croatian boys are still showing a very good game form, and Suker has scored three goals in two games, this is on the stage of the World Cup, Suker is still leading the scorer list!"

"In Group B of the World Cup, we have already secured our place in advance, and the next game will also decide the fate of Bosnia and Herzegovina!"

"Let's focus on the next match, Argentina vs Bosnia and Herzegovina!"

The game is over.

Croatian fans rejoiced.

This may be their most comfortable group stage since the World Cup.

In the past, I stumbled in the group stage and played very hard.

But in this World Cup, Croatia's lads showed amazing form from the first game.

Of course, the World Cup continues, and the form of the present is not a guarantee of the future.

How to maintain the heat of the World Cup is also a key.

Suke is being interviewed by the media.

"We are prepared in advance, and at the same time, we are determined to play the pass and control tactics in this game, the South Korean team is very unfamiliar with our tactics, which is why we were able to win this game easily, and we are quite satisfied with our own performance, of course, there are many games, the group stage is just a transition, and the knockout stage is the key."

"We're ready to take on any opponent as well!"

Facing the camera, Suker responded sonorously and forcefully, and this response also made Croatian fans feel uplifted.

Suker is Croatia's number one star.

Every word of Suke represents their will!

They will always stand with the Croatian warriors and meet the challenge together.

At the end of the game, the Croatian players left the playing field.

On their way out, they were besieged by a large number of Croatian fans.

Of course, these are overly excited fans, waving their arms in excitement and constantly showing the fans how much they love them.

In the cheers of the fans, the players also felt a force injected into their bodies.

Back at their hotel, the Croatian players went to their rooms to wash up.

After changing into clean clothes, Suker and Modric went to the tactics room together.

Although the game is over, another match in Group B has just begun.

Whether they can join forces to defeat Argentina depends on the match between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Argentina.

Suker and Luka Modric were the first to arrive in the tactics room.

With the exception of Bilic and Vansted Ark, the rest of the team had not yet arrived.

After the two of them were seated, Suke asked, "How's the situation going?" “

"It's 0:0 at the moment," Bilic didn't reply; "Bosnia and Herzegovina has taken a defensive stance of retreat, and Argentina will not be able to tear apart the defense of Bosnia and Herzegovina in a short time."

Vansteak held his cheeks with his palms on his hands, his brows furrowed slightly, he looked at the Argentine lineup and complained; "What is this?"

The three of them turned their heads to look over.

Vansteak complained: "Messi, Rodriguez, Tevez, Higuain, Di Maria, five forwards rushed forward, the midfield was only supported by Maschelano, and among the four defenders, the fullbacks had to step forward, and the whole tactic was to highlight a pass to Messi, where is there a team that plays like this?" ”

Bilic: "Isn't that how Real Madrid play? ”

He pointed to Sukedao; "Pass the ball to Suke?"

Suke: "."

"It's different!" Vansteak waved his hand: "Suker is the finisher, he thinks it is a goal, and the task is relatively simple and straightforward, but Maradona let Messi take on the task of transferring, promoting, organizing and even scoring goals, without any system and tactical support, just relying on personal ability to play." ”

"The offensive ability seems to be intense, but at the same time, there are many hidden dangers."

Maradona is known all over the world, and as a professional player, Maradona is a legendary player and a success.

But as a manager, Maradona has failed somewhat.

From this tactic, you can see how naïve Maradona's idea was.

This is a theoretical tactic, there is no margin for error at all, but if there is a mistake, there is no possibility of making up for it.

So far, neither South Korea nor Bosnia and Herzegovina are strong teams.

For this reason, Argentina is fine, but if this tactic encounters Croatia, he will be stunned in the head.

While the four were chatting, the Croatian players also came one after another.

Soon, they began to watch the game quietly.

Bosnia and Herzegovina's style of play is very simple and brutal.

After a wave of counterattacks, they immediately retreated to the dense defense, almost not giving Argentina any interspersed gaps.

With such a dense defense, any team will have a headache.

The Argentine team's tactics are to use breakthroughs again and again to force the opponent to foul and get set-pieces, preferably penalties.

It's just that Bosnia and Herzegovina have a lot of experience in confrontation, and even they have drilled in advance and know how to defend.

At the same time, Bosnia and Herzegovina seems to be very familiar with the Argentine players, and they are always able to make very correct judgments, so that Argentina's interspersed running positions are ineffective, and their breakthroughs have been repeatedly cracked by Bosnia and Herzegovina by using double defense or zone defense.

But the real abrupt change came in the 41st minute, when Argentina, who had been unable to attack for a long time, began to become more and more anxious, and they looked a little frizzy in this attack.

As soon as Messi's side finished passing, Higuain ran fast, causing the two to make a mistake in coordination.

Messi passed the ball to where Higuain was standing.

Under such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Sterke pressed forward directly, forwarded with a big foot, and made a long pass diagonally over the top to find Dzeko directly.

Dzeko desperately chased the ball, and before he ran out, he crossed horizontally.

Inside the big penalty area, Suke. Bazic jumped up and headed home.

Swish!

In the 41st minute, Bosnia and Herzegovina scored first.

"Oh~~~~~ Bosnia-Herzegovina scored?"

"Exploded! Exploded! ”

"Argentina is going to blow up!"

"Kill Argentina!"

"Come on, Bosnia and Herzegovina!"

Seeing this goal, the Croatian players were also excited.

If Bosnia and Herzegovina beat Argentina, Croatia will go straight to the top of the group.

If Argentina lose this game, then their only chance is to fight Croatia.

Suke's eyes widened as well.

"Won't it?"

He thought that Bosnia and Herzegovina could cause some problems for Argentina, whether they could win or draw was secondary, and they could help them attract some firepower or kick something.

But now, Bosnia and Herzegovina look like they're going to kick Argentina out.

The game quickly came to the second half.

After falling behind, Argentina played even more impatiently.

Obviously, they know very well what it means to them once they lose this game.

The time entered 80 minutes, and the score on the field was still 1:0 ahead of Argentina in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The South African commentator was screaming together in Wow Wow, although Su Ke and the others couldn't hear what this guy was calling, but they could hear it, and he was extremely surprised in his heart.

If Argentina loses, it's an upset, and for the Pampas Eagles, they break a wing.

Little by little, time passed.

The entire tactical room was silent.

The Croatian players are also keeping an eye on the game, and they are also very nervous.

This is a great opportunity to take out Argentina, and a fool would not do it!

For this, they began to secretly cheer Bosnia and Herzegovina.

There are three minutes left, and if you count stoppage time, it's six minutes.

Hold on! Old iron!

Bang!!

Sucre. Bazic flicked his head to clear the ball and the final whistle blew as he was about to burst out of the penalty area to counter-attack.

Beep beep!

Three whistles sounded, and the whole stadium erupted in violent cheers from Bosnian fans.

"Win! We won! ”

"God!! We won against Argentina! ”

"Hahahaha!! It's simply amazing! ”

The Bosnian players rushed into the stadium one by one like crazy, they sprinted and shouted hard, what an excitement!

"Bosnia and Herzegovina! In their first World Cup appearance, they put in a shocking performance, after losing the first game to Croatia, they defeated the South American powerhouse Argentina in the second game, which is definitely the golden generation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and they showed extremely good form in this game. ”

"Argentina were forced to stand on the edge of the cliff based on this defeat, and now their only hope of qualifying is to beat Croatia, which is several times stronger than Bosnia and Herzegovina. Argentina is really dangerous this time. ”

In the shot, Messi is stuck in his waist, his face full of helplessness.

This is a tactical problem for Maradona, but can Maradona be blamed in Argentina?

Although I was aggrieved in my heart, I could only endure it.

Now Argentina can only face Croatia head-on!

At the end of the two rounds, the World Cup Group B standings are as follows.

First: Croatia, 2-0-0, 6 points.

Second: Bosnia and Herzegovina, 1-0-1, 3 points.

Third: Argentina, 1-0-1, 3 points.

Fourth, South Korea, 0-0-2, 0 points.

Even in the next game, Croatia lost to Argentina and Bosnia and Herzegovina defeated South Korea, and the two sides have the same record and points, based on the relationship between the winners and losers, Croatia is also in the first place.

For this reason, when Bosnia and Herzegovina defeated Argentina, Croatia topped the group even if they lost to Argentina.

The remaining second place in the group is contested by Bosnia and Herzegovina and Argentina.

The second round of the group stage of the World Cup is over, and Group B is completely fried.

Based on the reason that Argentina lost to Bosnia and Herzegovina, this led to the complete loss of the initiative in Argentina.

In the current situation, there is only one way to win, and at the same time, Bosnia and Herzegovina will lose to South Korea, so that they can have the possibility of qualifying.

The second round of the World Cup completely ignited the flames of war.

"Croatia defeated South Korea 7:0 and locked the first place in the group in advance! 》

"Argentina only has the possibility of qualifying theoretically! 》

"Maradona is about to encounter the World Cup Waterloo!" 》

Messi will leave the World Cup? 》

The end of Group B has completely made the World Cup situation tense.

South Korea became the first team to be eliminated from the World Cup, and they don't even have a theoretical chance of qualifying.

Croatia emerged as the biggest winners in Group B.

The remaining second place in the group is contested by Bosnia and Herzegovina and Argentina.

After this game, another topic exploded around the world.

'The Emperor of Prophecy' Paul the Octopus successfully predicted the victory of Bosnia and Herzegovina over Argentina.

One of the hottest topics since the 2010 World Cup is Paul the octopus, who made his debut at Euro 2008 and successfully predicted four matches, including Germany vs. Croatia.

In this World Cup, Paul the Octopus has predicted Croatia's victory over South Korea and Bosnia-Herzegovina's victory over Argentina.

The most important thing is that after predicting Croatia's victory over South Korea, Paul the octopus ate seven mussels, which corresponded to Croatia's seven goals, and also successfully predicted Bosnia and Herzegovina's upset of Argentina.

The official decision of the World Cup is that in the following games, the octopus Paul will be used to predict before the game.

For a lot of people, it's a lot of fun.

But for South Korean and Argentine fans alone, this is an irritating thing.

South Korea is a big octopus eater, and after hearing that it was slaughtered this time, they set off a craze for eating octopus in their country, and countless octopuses were served on the table to provide food.

Meanwhile, on the Argentine side, angry fans are shouting slogans such as 'Kill that stinky octopus'.

It can be said that the two predictions directly broke the defense of the fans of the two countries.

In the training ground in Croatia, Boban is patrolling as the team leader.

At this time, his mobile phone rang, it was from Croatia.

"There's something I want to talk to you about, and I'm about to arrive in South Africa." On the phone, Davao. Suke said.

Boban was a little puzzled, but nodded in understanding.

In the afternoon, Davao. Suker came to the hotel where the Croatian national team was staying.

In the conference room, Boban, Davao. Suke, Bilic, and Vansted got together.

Ahem!

Davao. Suke coughed dryly and said: "Last night, we received a request from the Argentine Football Federation, they want us to release water in the third round of the match!" ”

Hearing this, the three of Boban glanced at each other.

In the current situation, if Croatia loses to Argentina and Bosnia and Herzegovina win against South Korea, then there will be three 2-0-1s.

At the same time, based on the relationship between victory and defeat, Croatia wins Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnia and Herzegovina wins Argentina, and Argentina wins Croatia.

Ultimately, it is the goal difference that determines the qualification.

And Croatia slaughtered the South Korean team, what to compare with them on goal difference?

For this reason, Croatia can also be regarded as 'locking' the top spot in the group in advance, unless they are slaughtered by the opponent in the match against Argentina.

But this possibility does not exist.

However, they had already agreed with Bosnia and Herzegovina.

"Davao, we have something on our side as well."

After that, Boban told the story of the joint Bosnia and Herzegovina to take out Argentina.

Davao. Suke's face was full of surprise.

I didn't expect that in the normal surge of the World Cup, this kind of private transaction was still being carried out.

"So, we have now united with Bosnia and Herzegovina to get rid of Argentina?" Davao. Suke asked.

Boban nodded; "That's right, that's the way it is, of course, if the Argentine side adds a lot of weight."

"They're just verbal requests!" Davao. Su Ke waved his hand: "Then let's treat it as if there is no such thing." ”

Vansteak raised his hand.

The crowd turned their heads to look over.

I saw him say slowly; "My suggestion is to get rid of Argentina and kick this hidden danger out of the game in advance, no matter what kind of increase Argentina makes, we will not accept it."

The two looked at Bilic again.

Bilic nodded: "That's what I mean, too!" ”

Davao. Sucker Road; "I see, I'll make arrangements!"

After that, he asked, "How are the players doing?" ”

Bilic; "It's not bad, Vukojevic's recovery from injury is also smooth, and it is estimated that he will be able to play in the knockout round, but for the sake of safety, he can't make his debut, so let's see how he is in shape."

'The rest of the players are still in pretty good form.

Speaking of which, Bilic joked: "We are here this time with a tie on the historical record!" ”

"Didn't think about winning the championship?"

Davao. Suke asked.

Bilic was stunned, and Vansteak shook his head and sighed.

Boban: "He didn't have much interest before, he couldn't even think about it!" ”

"Hey!" Bilic spread out his hands and said helplessly: "This is a draw on the historical record, the top four of the World Cup, why don't I dare to think about it?" ”

"They say this lineup should be the championship!" Vansted said.

Bilic frowned: "The championship is also to be fought for, but it is not easy, Spain, Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands, these teams are difficult to play!" ”

"Can we still run into each other?" Vansteak shrugged; "It's better to draw a lot, it's not that there is no chance."

Boban and Davao. Su Ke also nodded.

In terms of boldness, it is this assistant coach who is more in line with their appetite.

Bilic felt that he couldn't talk anymore, he pointed to the door and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see how the training is going." ”

With that, everyone got up and left the conference room.

In the training grounds, Croatian players are training behind closed doors.

The entire venue, with little to no one else in sight except for the people involved.

Davao. Suke's arrival drew cheers from the crowd.

Especially young people like Perisic, look at Davao. Suke's eyes were shining.

This is their childhood idol!

But soon, their eyes turned terrified.

Bang Bang Bang!

Suke actually slapped Davao at once. Su Ke's big belly grinned and shook his head; "I'm getting fatter and fatter, be careful not to be fooled by those politicians, you can't play with them!"

Davao. Su Ke smiled, he didn't mind at all.

"I've got Mamic, and he'll tell me what I can't do."

Suke shook his head.

That guy is the biggest headache!

Davao. Suke's late season is not guaranteed, and many of these are the reasons for Mammage's instigation.

"How does it feel?" Davao. Suke looked at Suke with a blazing gaze.

He's watched both of Suker's games, and the kind of performances he wanted to play for half an hour.

Suke shrugged: "It's not bad, I'm here for the World Cup Golden Boot!" ”

Davao. Su Ke smiled and nodded: "Come on!" ”

He didn't talk about the 'championship' because he was afraid of burdening these players.

The situation is good right now, and it's all about taking it step by step.
