"Susuk? Oh~~ Oh my God!! It was a pleasant surprise! ”

"Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!! ————”

Klausiewicz couldn't help but exclaim.

"I didn't see Suker for the whole first half, but suddenly he appeared and scored a goal like a ghost!"

'He was in the right place and helped Croatia get the goal!'

"Portugal wanted to equalise in the second half and even overtake the score, but with this goal, everything was disrupted for them!"

"Rakitic shoots, Eduardo makes a save, but in the face of Suker's follow-up shot, Portugal can't do anything!"

'We've always seen goals like Suker, this kind of ghostly movement, and the slightest negligence will follow Suker's figure.

The camera cuts right to Thiago.

I saw him open his mouth blankly and spread his hands, even at this time, he didn't understand when he lost it.

The whole stadium was already boiling.

The Croatian fans were jumping for joy.

Commentator Klausievic reminded them again and again that Portugal may counterattack in the second half, and they must defend well.

Therefore, the fans are ready for a fierce battle.

But no one expected that the competition would develop in this direction.

Croatia opened the scoring less than 10 minutes after the kick-off of the second half, when Suker suddenly scored from the back of the net to pull the score again.

With this goal, Portugal's difficulty skyrocketed.

Ronaldo spread his hands and shook his head constantly.

He can't help it!

He was already trying to attack the defence as much as he could, and even after his first attempt on goal, Portugal conceded again.

In the face of this conceded goal, it is definitely very demoralizing.

No one thought that at this juncture, Croatia would score again.

Throughout the first half, Croatia were attacking like crazy and they withstood it.

But in the second half, what should have been their attacking link, they suddenly conceded a goal.

Who the can stand this.

Portugal coach Santos was furious on the sidelines.

He was angry that Thiago hadn't been able to keep a look at Suke.

Addicted to watching football?

Don't know what your mission is?

Thiago was also at a loss at the moment, and he did get caught up in Croatia's attack for a few seconds and failed to see Suker.

But who would have thought that in just a few seconds, Suker would get rid of himself and get a goal.

"This is really bad news." The Portuguese commentator shook his head and sighed; "With this goal, Croatia has a two-goal lead and our morale has been further hit. Cheer up, boys! ”

At this time, the Portuguese commentator was also numb.

He didn't know how to explain the situation.

It's a lot more passive than what the fans see.

On the sidelines, Vanstedak's eyebrows danced, and he smiled and waved his hands; "Kranicsa, go back and sit, don't be in a hurry to change people!"

Bilic on the side suddenly said: "Defend!" ”

Vansteak turned his head; "Do you think it's time to defend?"

"That's right!" Bilic affirmed; "Portugal only has one way to attack, it is true that we can also attack, but the risk of attacking against the wind is too great, and in addition, in this situation, we don't need to invest too much offensive strength, put Suker down the front court as the fulcrum of the counterattack, Modric serves as the pivot of the offensive and defensive transition, and everyone else defends!"

Vansteak pondered for a moment and nodded; "Okay, I see!"

"Who do you think I'm going to take down?"

Bilic thought for a moment; "Perisic and Rakitic!"

Vansteak was surprised: "No Mandzukic!" ”

"Don't change!" Bilic shook his head solemnly; "First, Mandzukic can act as a fulcrum on the counter-attack, and secondly, he can retreat to fight for the top in Portugal's corners, and he can cooperate with Simunic to limit Ronaldo's header!"

'Also, Rakitic has been running the most distance in this game and we need to give him a break.

Vansteak nodded; "Okay, I see!"

Bilic was right, and Vansteak had no reason to refuse.

After entering the knockout stage of the World Cup, Van Steak believes that Bilic's 'shouting stop' role should also be shown.

Bang!!

In the stadium, Ronaldo and Simunic collided fiercely, and Simunic withstood Ronaldo's impact and did not let the opponent reach the ball.

However, it also made Simunic feel uneasy.

Apart from Suker, the guy who put so much pressure on him in the tutelage, Ronaldo is definitely the second.

After Ronaldo landed, he watched the ball being cleared, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

Thiago is also very meritorious, facing the falling ball, directly trying to shoot from a distance,

The long-range shot failed to hold the ball down and flew straight into the stands.

"Don't kick like that! Don't waste your chance! ”

Ronaldo turned his head and yelled.

If you're in a leading position, there's nothing wrong with that.

But now, they are lagging behind!

Every opportunity is precious!

It can't be so wasteful.

"The other side is starting to get anxious!" Su Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled; "At this time, we have to give them a hard time!"

Modric shrugged: "I think so too, but the coaching staff is going to change. ”

With that, the two turned their heads to look over.

There were two people standing on the sidelines.

Dujmović as well as Vukojevic.

Croatia, meanwhile, replaced Rakitic and Perisic.

"Come on!"

They both high-fived each other and entered the middle of the pitch.

"Croatia made a substitution, Vukojevic came off the bench after being injured and made his first appearance at the World Cup, having been Croatia's starting midfielder at Euro 2008 and now he is finally in the middle of the World Cup!"

Vukojevic ran into the field with excitement, he shouted excitedly.

"Guys! I'm coming! ”

Srna: "It's too slow! ”

Modric; "Don't jump! Like a child. ”

Su Ke: "If you don't play well, shovel you!" ”

There are no good words in the mouths of these bad friends, but this is just a sign of welcoming him.

Suke walked over and held out his hand.

Syllable!

Vukojevich slapped it hard.

"Welcome back!"

Suker hugged hard and ran to the frontcourt.

Others have welcomed Vukojevic's return.

Seeing this scene, Klausievic rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Vukojevic is back, which also means that Croatia has all the starters, which is a happy thing, of course, we also need to pay attention to Vukojevic's form, after all, he has been away from the stadium for a long time, he needs to adapt"

Before he could finish speaking, a whistle suddenly sounded in the stadium.

Suker turned his head to look over and saw someone lying there on the right side of Croatia's half.

"It hurts! Thigh! Hiss ~~~~~"

Srna inhaled as he pointed to his thigh with a pained expression.

The players also quickly surrounded them.

Suke hurried over, and he saw Srna lying on the ground, constantly kneading his thighs.

"Stop rubbing!" Suke slapped Srna on the thigh, and soon, the team doctor ran up.

All eyes were on the stadium, especially in the stands, and the Croatian fans were nervous.

They have just welcomed Vukojevic, who has returned from injury.

Is Srna going to be injured again?

Soon, the team doctor made a cross gesture towards the referee, signaling that Srna could no longer continue the game.

Eventually, Suker got his arm around Srna, who jumped off the pitch.

"Slow down! What's the hurry! ”

Seeing Srna jumping fast, Suke reminded in an angry whisper.

Srna was also embarrassed, so he slowed down.

"I'm sorry!"

Srna said helplessly.

"Needless to say, I'm sorry, when someone hasn't been injured yet, don't think too much about it, and recuperate with peace of mind!"

Sending Srna off the touchline, Croatia also replaced Lovren with the last substitution to continue to increase their defence.

At 60 minutes, Croatia were forced to use up three substitutions.

"Srna seems to be injured, the World Cup will always face all kinds of problems, and we are ready for the loss of the squad, but I didn't expect that the first injury was Srna!"

'As captain, Srna has always been the backbone of the Croatian defence, he has been constantly running back and forth, making a great contribution to our attack and defence, and Srna is injured, so it's not just about losing a main player for us!

The World Cup is always accompanied by attrition.

Many teams have already started to lose their starting line-ups in the group stage.

Croatia is well prepared accordingly.

But I didn't expect to be Srna.

Srna has been very fit so far, with few injuries and a relatively good game.

But last season, he won the treble with Inter Milan, and then he had to face the World Cup.

In the World Cup, he faced Higuain, Ronaldo and other stars one after another, which further increased the pressure, which caused injury problems.

At the moment, Srna's injury has yet to be confirmed, but the Croatian players need to be vigilant as well.

They can't afford to attrition any more!

In this game, there are no substitutions.

Srna left the pitch and Simunic took over as second captain.

Simunic used to be the captain, but with the appearance of Suker, Srna and others, he made the decision to step aside and become the second captain.

For this reason, the moment he wears the captain's armband, he naturally integrates into the role of captain.

"In the next moment, defend well, actively shout and communicate, don't be affected by anything, let's win this game!"

Simunich clapped his hands loudly and shouted.

The Croatian players also cheered.

Next, they only need to defend well to stop the Portuguese attack.

With a two-goal lead at the moment, the advantage is on them.

They don't need to rush.

Portugal also made substitutions.

Almeida, Simão and Pepe are off.

Danny, Leedsson and Pedro. Mendes comes on.

Compared to Croatia, Portugal's bench is more cramped, with few substitutions, which is also the last part of Santos's attacking force that has been squeezed out.

Once this can't penetrate the Croatian defense, he has no choice.

Little by little, the game passed.

Cristiano Ronaldo kept trying to shoot from distance to blast Croatia away.

Sometimes, though, he dribbles and breaks and tries to get set-pieces as much as he can.

But under Croatia's dense defense, they relied on the number of people to limit Ronaldo, and did not give him the opportunity to create set-pieces at all.

The tackles and interceptions were clean.

In the end, Ronaldo had to retreat again and use a long-range shot to find the back of the net.

Danny, who came on as a substitute, relied on his physical advantage, and he continued to dribble and break through on the wing, but Vukojevic also stuck to him.

Although Vukojevic's form has not yet fully recovered, he can still limit it against Danny.

On the way to the breakthrough, Danny kept looking to the middle.

His intentions are clear, he wants to play the ball high, he wants to pass the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo.

But on the Croatian side, Dujmovic always followed Ronaldo, and Simunic was in the big penalty area, staring at him with a pair of eyes.

Even if he plays high, it will be difficult for Ronaldo to compete for the top.

In Croatia's big penalty area, there were hardly any gaps in the take-off.

"Corner! Make a corner! Ronaldo shouted loudly.

In the current situation, it is difficult for them to infiltrate.

Croatia defended too tightly

Long-range shots didn't work, set-pieces couldn't get them, they had to rely on corners.

"Portugal continued to attack, they still couldn't get any goalscoring opportunities, corners! Portugal's chance! ”

The Portuguese commentator said nervously.

He turned his head to look at the clock, and the game was less than 20 minutes away.

Suker was still up front, and Mandzukic had dropped back to fight for the top.

Bang!

Portugal took a corner, and Ronaldo immediately ran to the back post, ready to jump.

But Simunic was quick to follow up and Mandzukic cleared the ball with a header.

The ball flew to Thiago's feet.

"Force out!"

Croatian goalkeeper Pletikosa yelled.

"I can't force it out, I'm ready to fight for the top!"

Thiago again distributed the ball to the flank, and Danny pedaled his bike to open up space before lobbing the ball again into the Croatian penalty area.

Bang!

"Ronaldo rubbed the ball, this ball. Ah~~~ Plettikosa dragged the ball out! ”

"Oh my God! Ronaldo is close to 80 minutes and he still maintains such a high level of bounce! ”

In the battle just now, Ronaldo jumped significantly higher than Mandzukic and Simunic.

Seeing that the goal could not be scored, Ronaldo was also annoyed.

However, he felt that he had already pried some gaps and needed to increase his efforts again.

"You go up!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

Cristiano Ronaldo turned his head to look over and saw that Suker had retreated, while Mandzukic began to run towards the front.

Mandzukic and Simunic couldn't jump, at least to the height they had been at their best.

That's a hidden danger!

If Ronaldo is allowed to keep jumping like this, the goal will be dangerous.

It is impossible for Suker to let this bud ferment, since Mandzukic can't jump, then go to the front to do a counterattack point, and Suke retreats to fight for the top.

"Suker actually took the initiative to retreat, obviously, Ronaldo's header caused Croatia a lot of trouble, which made Suker have to retreat and fight for the top!"

It was still a corner kick from Portugal.

Suker stood in a straight line with Ronaldo, his eyes constantly observing Ronaldo's movements.

Danny takes another corner.

The ball flew towards the middle.

Suker and Cristiano Ronaldo started at about the same time.

Bang!

Before the jump, the two had a confrontation, but they still couldn't interfere with each other's takeoff.

Swish!

Swish!

Suker jumped at the same time as Cristiano Ronaldo.

Under the explosive power of the strong legs, the jumping height of the two is one head + one neck higher than the others, standing out from the crowd.

It's just that, under the interference of each other, they didn't grasp the timing of their take-off well.

"Damn it!"

Ronaldo's height has already begun to decline.

But to his horror, Suke still held his highest position.

This ability to stay in the air!

Suke kept his eyes on the ball and shook his head suddenly.

"Luca!"

Su Ke landed and roared: "Fight back!" ”

Shout!

Suke began to run wildly.

Meanwhile, Luka Modric, Pranic, Dujmovic, Mandzukic and Giorluka all rushed forward.

Dujmovic ran straight down the flank, not necessarily getting a shot on goal, but also opening up some space for his team-mates and disrupting Portugal's defence.

Another Croatian frenzied counterattack!

The Croatian fans were shouting with excitement.

Luka Modric shoves the ball laterally to Suker.

Suke jerked forward, striding the meteor as he began to sprint.

Suker rushed all the way to the edge of the penalty area, turned his head left and right, and then stuffed the ball to Mandzukic.

Mandzukic received the ball and turned around and hit the goal.

Bang!

"What the isn't going in?"

Suke couldn't help but yell.

The ball was slapped out by Portuguese goalkeeper Eduardo and flew towards the right.

There, Dujmovic stepped forward laterally and pushed the ball past Suker.

The ball was not passed well, Suker could only stop the ball with his chest, and when the ball was about to hit the ground, Carvalho also made a vicious tackle.

If Suker shoots, he will be tackled to the ground.

At this point, Suker lifted his knee and tapped the ball sideways to the side.

At the same time, he jumped lightly and dodged Carvalho's fierce tackle.

Meanwhile, Modric followed up on the falling ball and volleyed in with his right foot!

Swish!!

The ball lifts up the net.

On 87 minutes, Croatia scored again.

Modric completes the stunner!

"Goal!!! Modric !! ”

"Lore! That's lore! ”

"With a goal in the 87th minute, Portugal has no chance! They don't stand a chance! ”

"Croatia leads Portugal 3-0 and are on the verge of winning this game!"

"We're half a foot! No! Most of us have already stepped into the quarterfinals of the World Cup! ”

"Since 1998, Croatia has reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup again!"

"Amazing lads! Amazing Croatian heroes! ”

"Our hearts are beating for Croatia, and we are also cheering for this group of Croatian heroes!"

Klašiwicz's face flushed, and he raised his arms in excitement!

"Croatia! Banzai!! ”

"World Cup quarterfinals! Here we go!! ——”
