'Doorman' Neuer!

The word goalkeeper was popularized by Manuel Neuer to describe a goalkeeper's exaggerated range of control.

After watching Neuer's game, you can often see Neuer rushing out of the penalty area for various defensive scenes, tackles, tackles and even feints after receiving the ball.

Suker thought that Neuer had only begun to make such changes after Pep Guardiola took charge of Bayern Munich, but judging from the current picture, this guy himself has the gene of adventure, and he is suitable for this style of play.

Of course, there are pros and cons to this.

The goalkeeper stands in the front, which certainly increases the defensive range, but also sacrifices the big rear, leaving the goal in the vacant stage, which is also the weakest.

Some dangerous sparks began to appear in Suke's eyes.

'Doesn't this guy have been hanged yet?' ’

Neuer stood in front of the goal-line with such a confident face, and after such an outstanding performance, he caused the emotions of the German fans to be aroused.

At the same time, it also made the Croatian players feel extremely frustrated.

That's what he wanted to make.

Even if you get a single chance, it's hard to get a goal.

But he didn't know that someone was already looking at his 'strength'.

Croatia's last-ditch attack didn't work, and two minutes later went into the break.

"The first half is over, Croatia is currently drawing 1:1 with Germany, the whole first half, the German team is on the offensive, but Croatia scored first with a counterattack opportunity, but they couldn't keep the advantage, the German team's high-altitude bombing is a big problem, hopefully they can adjust it at halftime!"

Players from both sides returned to the dressing room.

The Croatian players started to talk and I shouted.

'Can't let them get their feet up, there's too much pressure on the backline!'

"I don't even know how many times I've jumped, is this guy a rabbit in Germany? So jumping! ”

"Fuck! Thinking that Germany was going to kick the ground to infiltrate, these guys actually took the sideline and hung in the middle! ”

"That guy from Muller is hard to follow, his position and running are nasty!"

"Podolski's breakthrough on the flanks is also very difficult!"

While the crowd was talking, Farnstec walked in, patted the board, and said loudly; "Quiet!"

Only when the locker room was quiet did he begin to speak; "I'm not going to talk nonsense, the next thing is the adjustment of the second half!"

"The German team likes to split sides, and their side transfer mainly depends on Schweinsteiger and Ozil, so when the German team counterattacks, we must be optimistic about these two goals, and if they succeed in limiting them, then it will also limit the German team's side!"

"And there's Muller!"

Van Steak looked at Vukojevic and said, "Ogren, you were injured once, why did you play so civilly?" Give him the fight, put him under pressure, it's your job, don't worry about the ball, once Muller is running, then follow up and make him realise that there is someone next to him and that the pressure is being applied! ”

"And Luka, performance! Show up! Be confident, don't always think about passing, do more things yourself, you have the ability to get rid of it, why do you have to pass the ball out, once you get rid of it, and then complete the pass, it's completely different in terms of effect, understand? ”

Vansteak: "And Suke!" “

And the people looked at it in amazement.

Vansteak rarely said Suke, but this time he did name him.

'You're a midfielder, don't drop back, it's not your job to defend.'

Suker frowned; "If I don't retreat, we're going to have a hole in our defense!"

"Then concede the ball!"

What Vansteak said was as it should have been, and he directly blocked Suke's words.

"The role of you is to fight back!" Vansteak Serious; "You always retreat, which causes the German team's attack to become more and more unscrupulous, only if you stand in the front, the German team will not dare to press so wantonly, they will be afraid of your counterattack, remember! The duty of the forward midfielder is to attack, not to be involved in defense! ”

'Even if we concede 10 goals, it's a problem at the back and you stay up front and wait for the counter-attack!'

Hearing what Farnsteak said so resolutely, Suke also grinned and nodded; "I see!"

"Guys, we need to attack and we have to be resilient in the second half!"

Vansteak shouted loudly.

Bilic opened his mouth slightly, but eventually did not speak.

His feeling tells him that the defense cannot be ignored, but now for Croatia, they really don't have much to put in on the defensive end and can't turn the game around.

As Vansteak said, they can only rely on the attack, relying on Suker as a strong counter-attacking point.

On the other side, the German team is also in full swing to arrange the tactics of the second half.

In the Croatian commentary box, Klaušić said solemnly: "It was a tough game, the German team was stronger than we thought, but we believe that the lads will show more tenacity in the second half and win!" ”

In the second half, the two sides changed sides.

In the 55th minute, Germany took the lead in making a substitution.

Khedira goes off Tony. Kroos comes on.

And on 59 minutes, this substitution played a key role. Kroos received a pass from Schweinsteiger and suddenly slid forward.

The ball was sudden, past the Croatian midfield, and tore through the backline.

Muller scrambled forward from the flank, and in the face of Vukojevic's interference, he still swept a cross into the middle.

Klose scored with a push in front of goal.

On 59 minutes, Germany scored again.

Croatia is 1:2 behind Germany!

"Lost the ball! The German team scored two goals in a row to turn the tide, and now the Croatian lads are officially dragged into a crisis situation! ”

"There are still 30 minutes left until the end of the game, come on, boys!"

Klausiewicz looked at the pitch, or at Suker.

The same is true for the Croatian fans at this time, who also hope that Suker can step up as before.

In the coach's seat, Vansted looked solemn.

With this goal, Croatia was forced to the brink.

He turned his head and saw that there was not much defensive strength that could be added, and there were no key offensive players!

Perisic?

It's too small, and it's not up to the task!

so

Vansteak said suddenly; "Bilic, let's take a gamble!"

"Bet on what?"

Bilic was a little dazed.

In this situation, he was really numb, and he didn't have any ideas at all.

Vansteak suddenly turned his head and shouted; "Tommy! Go warm up! ”

Dujmović jerked to his feet.

Croatia's 'Demon Knife', 'Mister Fantastic'. Dujmović!

In the scene, the German players were still celebrating.

They felt great at the moment.

They can beat Croatia and they will reach the semi-finals of the World Cup. They will go higher.

If Croatia are beaten, it will be a huge morale bonus.

"Tony. Kroos, a wonderful through ball, Loew's substitution played a key role, and now Croatia have also made a substitution adjustment, Olic is off, and it is Tomislav who comes on. Dujmović! ”

"Dujmovic, this is a player who plays in the Russian league, he has a superb long-range shooting ability, he has repeatedly scored goals for Croatia at crucial moments, his long-range shots are very threatening, are Croatia going to bet their last hope on Dujmovic?"

Dujmovic was on standby on the sidelines, and after high-fives with Olich, he immediately ran into the middle of the pitch.

He ran to Suke's position first, and the two whispered a few words.

Then, he ran to Modric again, exchanged a few more words, and then came to his place.

"Come on! Come on! Guys, it's not time to throw in the towel, voila! Your Savior is coming! ”

Dujmović roared.

Suker, Modric and the others grinned.

The score was behind and there were 30 minutes left.

Although it is still relatively abundant, it is necessary to grasp the moment of counterattack.

Suker looked at Dujmovic, who meant to make good use of Dujmovic's long-range ability.

Apparently, he also noticed that Neuer likes to run out of the box.

But anyway, you still have to give it a try.

Croatia is running out of tactics at the moment.

"When the game restarted, the Croatian players were still running hard and pressing, they kept running under their feet, they were running aggressively, even in the second half, they still ran with the same frequency!"

Looking at the sky, German fans also saw this scene, and their mouths were full of emotion.

What a fucking way to run!

Since the start of the game, the German team has been attacking the penalty area one after another, and for more than 60 minutes, the Croatian players have been running.

Changing to other teams, in such a fierce transition between attack and defense, and running, there are already physical problems.

But the Croatian guys are still running!

And it doesn't seem to have been affected much.

Dujmović is constantly observing.

When Vansted asked for him, he looked for the moment and plugged in.

This will allow him to avoid being marked by the German team, while also maximizing his long-range advantage.

Dujmović was on the run, and he was also watching Suke.

Suker is definitely a key figure in Germany's defence.

But even so, Suker was still able to move the ball out in the narrow gap.

Seeing this, Dujmovich couldn't help but grin.

If it were him, he would have been made to fall by the dazzling foot movements.

With such awesome teammates, victory should belong to them.

Suke has done well enough, but the other people's play is also crucial.

Opportunities don't always exist.

He needs to get the timing right!

Seeing Suker caught in the encirclement again, Dujmovic immediately raised his position and pulled out a gap.

"Suke!"

Hearing the shout, Su Ke poked his toes and directly separated the ball.

When the ball moved to Dujmovic, he could clearly feel that the German players were slowing down.

Damn it!

Underestimated!

He was angry, but Dujmovic still played the ball back to his teammates.

It's a good thing, after all, if he is also being watched like Suke, he can't get rid of it.

After completing the pass, Dujmovic began to pull towards the wing.

And no one is watching him!

Dujmovic took a few tentative steps towards the middle, and still no one was watching?

Dujmovic moved forward again and finally the German defenders responded.

Seeing this, Dujmovic figured out the bottom line of the German defender.

Moreover, this has already entered his range.

There's a play!

The attention of the German team on this side was drawn to Suker.

They would never dare to give up their defense of Suke.

"Germany's defense of Suker is too tight, which makes it difficult for Suker to find a breakthrough!"

Suker received another pass from Luka Modric, flicked the ball horizontally, leaned heavily on Kroos with his body, and distributed the ball horizontally to Dujmovic.

After completing the ball, Suke turned 90 degrees and began to thrust forward.

"Be careful!!"

"Suke is rushing up!"

"The big forbidden area is ready to fight for the top!"

"Neuer, watch out for Suke!"

The German players yelled nervously, and Neuer also subconsciously looked at Suker to confirm Suker's location.

At this moment, there was a sudden loud 'bang' in my ears.

The moment he turned his head, the ball slammed into the far post like a cannonball.

Neuer's pupils are constricted.

He immediately moved sideways under his feet, crouched down, and was about to make a save, but the ball fell sharply and plunged into the net.

At this moment, the audience was silent!

Swish!!

The ball touches the net and makes a crisp movement.

The stadium of Soccer City, which was supposed to be hot, fell into a brief silence.

Dujmović landed slowly, and he felt like the whole world was slowing down.

I don't know when it started, and their group of friends began to appear graded.

Except for him, the rest of them all played in the five major leagues, but he was cleared out of the five major leagues and had no choice but to join the Russian league.

Despite his hippie smile all day long, no one knows the sense of disparity better than he does.

Early morning in the morning sun.

Darkness in the light of the night.

He's working hard in silence, he's not talented enough, there's not much he can get his hands on, so he's only practicing one.

That's a long shot!

He believes that one day, he can use this skill to help his good friends.

Or, if he can't do that, he'll never be able to catch up with them.

But the moment the goal was scored, Dujmovic felt his body tremble.

And it did!

He finally did it!

The equaliser.

And it was also in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, scoring a key goal against Germany.

Dujmovich shouted, the phrase he wanted to shout for a long time.

"Lao Tzu is really awesome!!!!! ——”

Rumble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ——

The audience is boiling!

Croatian fans jumped up from their chairs, and the entire stand shook violently.

They were so excited!

They were so pleasantly surprised!

What a surprise!

The long-range shot was a surprise in itself, and Dujmovic's goal was even more so.

Everyone thought that Dujmovic would hang into the penalty area, after all, Suker had already started to run, but he chose to shoot from a distance!

It was even a kick that opened the German team's goal.

"Tomislav. Dujmović! He gave us hope of qualifying for the semi-finals of the World Cup, oh my! It's just crazy! ”

'Bilic's substitution played a key role.

"Dujmovic, he's not the most famous of Suker's class, but he's definitely the most special!"

'Just like this goal, he was always able to score crucial goals for us in key moments!'

"Let's send him cheers! Send it to Tomislav. Dujmović! At this moment, he is a hero of Croatia! ”

Dujmović stood in the middle of the pitch, enjoying the cheers of the Croatian fans on all sides.

At this moment, Suke, Mandzukic and other teammates also rushed over.

"Awesome!!"

"Tommy! Tommy! I love you to death! ”

"This long shot! It's just amazing! ”

"Hahahaha! We tie the score, the Final Four! Final Four! There is hope! ”

"Kill the Germans!"

The long-range shot boosted the morale of the Croatian players.

Mandzukic even got down on one knee and patted his knee.

"Come on! I'm going to give you a kick today! ”

Dujmovic was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over and hit Mandzukic on the knee, and Mandzukic bowed his head and kissed him.

"Oh~~~~ Mandzukic is bowing his head and kissing Dujmovic's boots, but under this goal, it deserves this kind of reward, play beautifully, Tommy!"

Klašiwicz also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Klose's goal left Croatia a little overwhelmed.

Now, the score is levelised, and their hopes of progressing to the last four are still alive.

The German players looked at each other one by one, and their faces also revealed a look of exhaustion.

This Croatian is a dog skin plaster.

I can't get rid of it!

If you bite it, you won't let it go!

They were already so limited that they could score on other points.

Especially this Dujmovic, this guy is not in their tactical targeting, but who would have thought that this guy would score this crucial goal, and it is also a world wave!

With such a wonderful long-range shot, it was a huge blow to the morale of the German players.

"Hold on! Hold on! Let's score one more goal! ”

Ram was shouting loudly,

With 78 minutes played, Croatia scored an equaliser.

Currently, Croatia 2:2 Germany.

This game was much more stalemate than expected.

At 78 minutes, both sides were in a draw.

In the 80th minute, Croatia and Germany both made substitutions.

Germany, Boateng, Muller out/Marcel. Janssen and Gomez come on.

Croatia, Vukojevic, Mandzukic off/Konezevic, Petrić on.

'Both sides made substitutions and this one was crucial, not only for the rest of the game, but also for extra-time and even the brutal penalty shoot-out!'

Krosiewicz said solemnly.

As can be seen from this substitution, neither side has replaced key players off the field.

On the one hand, it is to increase the combat effectiveness after the continuation of the game.

On the other hand, there is the extra-time and penalty shoot-outs that follow.

Obviously, neither Loew nor 'Bilic' did not think the game would end there.
