"What a shot this one is! You can't let Suker kick so easily, you have to interfere when he shoots! ”

The Argentine commentator wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and Croatia launched a sneak attack directly after the opening, although it failed to score, but it also caused a great deterrent to Argentina.

The Argentine players also became a little flustered based on this goal.

"Keep the ball! Be sure to keep the ball! ”

Higuain kept shouting.

He turned his head to look at Messi, his eyes full of irritation.

Originally, Messi should have done this kind of thing, but this guy was silent from beginning to end, which also led to the fact that they always needed to look up and observe Messi's position when cooperating.

He wouldn't shout and tell himself that he was in an empty position.

Messi is also frowning, judging from Croatia's attack after the opening, this game must be serious.

For Argentina, they have no room for slowdown, they can only bite the bullet and harden with Croatia.

Di Maria held the ball and pushed forward for a while, and he stepped on it to split the ball towards Messi in the middle.

Messi received the ball and turned, he meant to move to the other side.

But the moment he turned around, Kranica had already rushed over, blocking the route of his shift.

and keep a certain distance from him and don't let Messi pass himself.

In the backfield, Suker and others also tightly locked Messi's space to play the ball.

Luka Modric and Rakitic are always on standby, ready to cut in and press.

"Don't hesitate to get past him! Get past him! Leo, you can! ”

Maradona yelled from the sidelines.

His expression was a little anxious, he felt that Messi was playing too unconfidently, and he should not hesitate at this time, just like his previous self, he would directly pass the opponent and tear up an offensive gap for the team with his personal ability.

But Messi passed the ball after all!

Bang!

Seeing Messi pass the ball back to Di Maria again, Maradona slapped his thigh in anger.

There is no penetrating attack forward, where can the corresponding propulsion capacity be formed.

Once the pace is slowed down by Croatia, Argentina will become more and more difficult to perform.

Vansteak was also staring at the pitch, nodding slightly after seeing Messi's choice.

From the data and analysis, one conclusion can be drawn.

Messi's attributes at key moments are not that tough.

He lacked the all-or-nothing spirit of Suke, who dared to gamble everything and believe in his own abilities.

This has also caused Messi to be more team-oriented.

Of course, this is not a bad thing, and the high degree of teamwork indicates that when you meet the right team, you will have a stronger ability to motivate.

It's just that Argentina is not Barcelona!

Messi does not have Xavi and Iniesta behind him.

Di Maria saw that the attack was slow to advance, so he could only plug it directly into Tevez in front of him along the wing.

The beast Tevez, with a fierce face, is not tall, but he is strong and has a strong impact.

However, the moment he even started, Pranic and Joel Luca had already followed suit.

"Force him to pass back!"

Pranic knows Tevez very well, and he is also a Premier League player, this guy is full of energy and will definitely choose to push forward.

To that end, after blocking the way forward, he forced Tevez to take the lead in returning the pass.

Bang!

Tevez passed back.

Immediately afterwards, Tevez immediately sprinted forward.

There was a small detail at this point, when Joeluka jerked sideways and blocked Tevez's straight impact path, forcing him to go around in a slight circle and have a tendency to slow down.

At the same time, Pranic started at the moment and slammed into the back of Joeluka.

Sure enough, after Di Maria received the ball, he picked up the ball and passed it directly to the position behind Joel Luca.

"Guessed!"

Pranic was overjoyed, jumped up and flicked his head to pass the ball to Simunic.

Simunic moved to centre-back partner Mateo Kovac.

Croatia easily limited Tevez's impact with a brilliant zone defence.

"Well done boys!"

Klašiwicz clapped incessantly.

This time the defence is a reflection of Croatia's character.

It's not brutal, it's brainy.

Pranic, a full-back by training, played as a defender at the back.

For this reason, he knows too well the pain points of full-backs.

With him and Jorluka working together, they tackled the ball almost effortlessly.

"Well done!"

Modric received the ball and stuffed it to Kranica on the wing.

Seeing that Kranica did not rush forward into the gap, Suke decisively retreated to respond.

"Pass it over!"

Kranica turned sideways and crossed the ball.

Suker received the ball sideways, and by this time he could already feel Mascherano pushing him in the position behind him.

But Suker didn't fight hard, stepped on the ball with his right foot, pretended to attack directly forward, and after Mascherano was in advance, Suke pulled back his center of gravity, turned in reverse, and passed directly to the right side, completing the transfer.

The ball went from the heavily defended left side to the right.

The Argentine players began to run wildly towards the right side.

Perisic stops the ball.

He saw Suker cut in towards the box, but instead of opting for a cross, he patiently pushed the ball diagonally behind.

Rakitic stepped forward to answer the ball with a V-shaped pull, dodging Di Maria's pressing and moving the ball again.

The ball flew from the right side to the left again.

Under the continuous offensive shift, the Argentine players were a little dizzy.

"Croatia made full use of the space on both flanks, constantly trying to divert and seek to tear apart the Argentine defence."

"Of course, Croatia can also choose to cross directly, but it's not very efficient, and they don't seem to want to give Argentina too much of the ball!"

Argentina's squad showed that they had to get the ball.

Therefore, when they were pressed by Croatia and deprived of possession, their tactics had begun to fail.

Kranica tried to break through from the baseline, but was forced back.

Reluctant to pass back again, Srna received the ball in the rib area and crossed to Modric.

Modric turned his head to look to the right.

At this time, the attention of the Argentine defenders also shifted with Modric's observation.

At this moment, Modric looked to the right and suddenly rubbed his feet.

The ball was hoisted into the penalty area.

The sudden turn of events took the Argentine defenders by surprise.

"Watch Sue"

Before Demichelis could finish shouting, he saw Suke flash before his eyes.

Suker ran from right to left, meeting the falling ball, thrust his chest, and lifted the ball up again.

This also frustrated Demichelis' idea of wanting to steal, and he was squeezed by Suke so much that he lost his center of gravity.

Before falling, Demikelic threw his body out with his hands and feet.

Suker faced the falling ball and pretended to shoot with his left foot, but he slammed it and flicked it with his right foot, pulling out the shooting space again.

At this moment, there were almost no defenders in front of Suker, but Suke didn't dare to be careless, he directly poked with his toes.

The ball rolled towards Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero's supporting foot.

Romero desperately tried to move his right leg, and as long as he stretched it out, he could make a save, after all, the shot was not fast.

But the problem is that his whole body is tilting to the right side, and the center of gravity is on the right foot, and his foot can't move at all.

He could only press down desperately, but the ball still rolled in from the waist area.

Swish!

The ball touches the net.

In the first 13 minutes of the game, Croatia scored first.

Luka Modric's lob set up Suker's goal.

"Goal!! Croatia took the lead! ”

"Wonderful attacking coordination, in successive transfers, Croatia did not attack from the left and right flanks, but chose to attack in the middle, which Argentina did not expect, and Suker's calm judgment in front of goal was also crucial."

"It was a valuable goal and Croatia are on a solid step towards their third win in the group stage!"

"It was a great kick! Keep it up, boys! Keep kicking like this! ”

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ————

The Croatian fans in the stadium were boiling.

They had to shout and cheer excitedly.

The buzz in his hand was even more blowing.

Croatia played a three-dimensional attack this time.

The successive flanks shifted and the Argentine backline was forced to react.

And when the gap appeared, Modric's light cross and hoisted the ball directly into the big penalty area, and Suker's calm play in front of the goal was also the key.

"These guys are playing fantastic!"

"Modric's kick pass was fantastic."

"Suker's continuous shaking in front of goal is also outstanding, he is so calm!"

"Hahahaha! This is the deterrent power of the Champions League + La Liga Golden Boot, give Suker a little chance, and he can convert it into a goal! ”

"Onward! Croatia! ”

"Come on! Lads! ”

Croatian fans cheered wildly towards the stadium.

At the same time, Sallegeb, in front of Times Square is also boiling.

There were more fans gathered here than on the first day.

They jumped as if the ground was shaking.

They raised their hands and shouted and cheered.

Flags were tossed in the night sky, hunting and shaking, and enthusiasm was further released.

Brozovic and Mateo Kovacic also hugged each other, and they excitedly celebrated with the crowd around them.

Their eyes looked at the big screen, and under those hot eyes, it was as if they were going to come to the stage of the World Cup in South Africa through the big screen.

The outstanding performance of the Croatian national team, Suker, Modric and others not only inspires the Croatian people, but also makes countless young people in Croatia yearn for that stage.

They fantasize about wearing plaid robes and fighting for their country.

They gathered around Suker, Modric and others to fight together!

In the stadium, Suke and the others were still celebrating.

The Argentine players are stuck in their waists one by one, and their hearts are full of unwillingness.

Conceding the goal so quickly is very unfriendly news for them.

They have to play better when they have to beat Croatia to qualify.

Messi's heart is also extremely struggling.

Win to qualify.

But the pressure is too much.

He was curious to see how Suke overcame this pressure.

Come to think of it, even if he asked, Suke wouldn't tell him.

He had to use his own methods.

"Hey! Guys, let's chase the score! ”

Messi's rare opening, which surprised the Argentine players.

"We have a lot of attacking impact, but we need more coordination, more running!" Rodriguez shouted; "Let's be one, we still have a chance!"

The game resumes.

Syllable!

As soon as Su Ke received the ball, his waist was pulled down, and at the same time, Su Ke couldn't turn around, and he was pressed down.

"Do it!"

Suke lay on the ground and turned his head to curse.

At the same time, Argentina has begun to fight back, and the referee has no intention of blowing for fouls.

After Messi received the ball, he immediately turned around and shoved forward.

The ball was very smart, not light or heavy, just to fool Simunic and the ball slipped between the two Croatian centre-backs.

"Oh~~~~~~ through ball!! Higuain! Will he be able to take his chances! ”

Higuain struggled to chase the ball and next to him, Srna played tightly.

Higuain didn't want to miss the chance and he was about to shoot straight at the ball.

Just as he was about to shoot, Srna accelerated at his feet and gave Higuain a counter-attack.

The confrontation is the most deadly when you are close to shooting!

Bang!

The ball was kicked straight into the stands.

Higuain couldn't capitalise on the opportunity.

"Higuain!! He didn't take advantage of this opportunity, Argentina missed an equalizer! ”

Srna got up from the ground and roared at Simunic and Kovac.

"What are you doing? Just let him stuff the ball? Don't let the ball go! Break the siege! Break the siege directly! Be sure to do a good job of communicating! ”

Argentina's offense is not to be underestimated.

In the original time and space, these guys reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup.

In the case of serious incoordination of offensive and defensive capabilities, it can still enter the quarterfinals, which means that Argentina has a strong offensive ability.

And this time it was very concrete.

Reasonable and sharp counterattack, Messi's through ball is also just right, if Srna has not been following up and defending, this ball would be dangerous.

And then there's on the defensive end.

Unable to use conventional means to restrain Suke, the guys got their hands on it.

As long as Suker has the ball, they must be going for people.

Argentina made full use of the rules, which were foul tactics.

What's more, the referee's penalty in this game seems to be a little lenient.

"Argentina had been testing before, and after seeing that the referee had not played a card for several fouls, they started to be unscrupulous!"

Vansted his eyes slightly, he ran to the sideline and said a few words to Srna.

Srna nodded repeatedly.

When Vansteak returned, Bilic asked:

"What did you say?"

At the same time, this scene was also captured on camera.

"Bilic asked the assistant coach to communicate with Srna, apparently in response to the Argentine foul just now." Klašić nodded: "Bilic's sense of smell is still very sensitive, and his on-the-spot command in the European Championship and qualifiers is very crucial!" ”

In the middle of the game, Croatia once again pushed the ball forward and as soon as Suker got the ball, he was caught by Mascherano and Rodriguez.

The two dragged Suke and even kicked Suke's ankle, eventually forcing Suke to lose the ball.

"Dog mongrel!"

Su Ke was so angry that he immediately got up from the ground.

Just as he was about to rush back to take revenge, a voice suddenly rose into the air in front of him.

Bang!!

Messi fell heavily to the ground.

Srna made a ferocious sliding tackle, which directly dribbled Messi and knocked him to the ground.

"Dirty, huh? Come! Will we be afraid?! Srna looked down at Messi.

At the same time, he also turned his head to look at the referee, and the intention of that look was very straightforward.

If you keep judging like this, Lao Tzu will dare to keep putting the shovel! ’

As captain, Srna can't afford to watch his teammates suffer.

Since you want to play dirty, Lao Tzu will accompany you to the end.

Lao Tzu is a defender from Serie A!

At Juventus and Inter Milan, he has been trained by those old fritters, and he knows how to foul and press too well.

The referee rushed over and he immediately showed a yellow card to Srna.

"Fuck!"

"What?"

The Croatian players immediately surrounded him.

Suker, Luka Modric and others surrounded the referee to put pressure, and Srna was pulling people.

The scene became very chaotic.

From this decision, they understand that there is a certain bias in the whistle.

This is not necessarily some collusion between Argentina and the referee.

But it may be that FIFA does not want to see Argentina eliminated, so it is a stumbling block for Croatia.

On the sidelines, Bilic also yelled at the fourth official.

In the stands, the boos of the Croatian fans and the cheers of the Argentine fans intertwined, and the scene became extremely chaotic.

In the end, the penalty remained unchanged.

Srna received a yellow card.

Argentina had a well-placed set-piece opportunity.

"Fuck! The home whistle is not so excessive! ”

Suke touched his aching ankle.

Lao Tzu was kicked so much, but there was no.

A foul on Croatia's side was immediately a yellow card.

It's not greasy, who believes it!

"Human wall! Wall! Pose for a wall! ”

Suker beckoned his teammates to put up a wall.

Messi stands at a set-piece, ready to take a penalty.

This position is quite dangerous, just near the top of the arc of the big penalty area on the right, and it has entered Messi's range.

Under the watchful eyes of countless fans, Messi activated the penalty kick.

Bang!

The ball arcs towards the near post.

As it approached the goal, there was a violent downward trend.

Croatian goalkeeper Pletikosa made the best saves he could, but was unable to block the penalty.

Swish!

The ball goes into the net.

Argentina finally equalized in the 31st minute.

The Argentine fans were jubilant and the Argentine players were celebrating.

But the Croatian players were full of anger in their eyes.

Suker also squinted at the Argentine goal.

Give face shame, then kick you shameless!
