"Want to drain our energy?"

Modric saw the trend of the game and immediately understood Spain's intentions.

"Go up! Rob! ”

Without saying a word, Modric immediately commanded the players to launch a more fierce scramble.

At this moment, the so-called sporting virtue has disappeared.

There is simply a pure desire to win.

A win, a ticket to the final, that's more important than anything else.

Pressure!

Constant pressure!

Spain want to keep the ball and slow down the tempo.

Croatia want to press, they want to pick up the tempo.

In such a contradictory tactical confrontation, only one side can carry it out.

"him!"

Suker lunged over and knocked Harvey down with the ball.

After Harvey was hit, the fire was rising.

He wanted to find Suke to theorize.

"Hey! Calm down and don't be provoked by him! ”

Iniesta hurriedly hugged Xavi.

At this time, it is easy to have a verbal conflict with Su Ke, and he will definitely be even more angry in his heart, let alone a normal heart, he can only do it against Croatia.

Harvey pursed his lips, and he shook his arm away vigorously and turned his head away.

When Su Ke saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh.

It's bearable!

After Spain kicked off again, Croatia still maintained high-intensity and high-mobility pressing and confrontation.

The Spanish players were constantly being rushed by Croatian players and fouled!

Once or twice may be enough, but after a few more times, it will be difficult for the Spanish players to suppress their inner anger.

Sure enough, in the next second, Xavi suddenly shoved the ball forward.

He wanted to teach Croatia a lesson, so he took a little risk and slipped the ball into the front of Villa.

Villa received the ball sideways, and he just wanted to lead the ball and run forward.

Vukojevic and Luka Modric suddenly caught him.

"him!"

Modric yelled.

Taking advantage of Vukojevic's confrontation with Villa, he shoveled the ball to the retreating Rakitic.

Rakitic picked up the ball and looked up at Suker in the centre circle.

Suker still had defenders next to him and couldn't pass the ball to him smoothly.

To do this, Rakitic distributed the ball to Mandzukic.

After Mandzukic received the ball, he did not turn and dribble.

His dribbling impact isn't too threatening, he's a stumbling centre-forward.

As a result, Mandzukic moved directly laterally and passed the ball to Kranica on the other side.

Kranica didn't stop the ball, but stepped straight forward and started to sprint forward along the touchline.

Meanwhile, Suker, Mandzukic and Rakitic are all rushing forward.

When Su Ke was running, his head was also turned left and right to observe.

When he was about to enter the penalty area, Suker slowed down, trying to take advantage of Puyol's attention on Kranica to open up some distance, preferably by hitting the goal.

But Puyol seemed to be a little behind, and turned his head again to confirm Suker's position.

He saw that Su Ke actually slowed down, and immediately retreated a few steps, directly sticking to Su Ke.

Suke couldn't help but grin.

Puyol's retreat deprived Kranica of the opportunity to pass to him.

And Kranica also shook his feet, pulled out the angle, and passed the ball directly.

Bang!

Mandzukic hit the header, but under the influence of Pique, he played a little hard.

The ball flew over the crossbar and off the baseline.

"Croatia didn't take advantage of this opportunity, their attacking line was too obvious, without Srna's edge, there was a lack of one person in the rib area, Modric's position did not dare to go too deep, once they were counter-attacked by Spain, their backline was difficult to parry!"

Spain tee off again.

Croatia played in a hurry.

It's also the Spanish side.

Croatia put too much pressure on them, and these guys are running wild one by one.

"Give the ball to Iniesta!"

Bosque shouted from the sidelines.

When it comes to dribbling, Andres Iniesta is definitely the best.

And in such a fierce press from Croatia, it is safer for the ball to come to Iniesta's feet.

At the same time, it can also help other team members to pull out of the gap.

Soon, Spain's passes began to concentrate towards Iniesta.

Andres Iniesta received the ball with his back, and before receiving the ball, he sank his shoulder to the right side, and Vukojevic immediately followed up.

But at this moment, Iniesta turned his body on one foot, his head looked to the left, and his body turned to the left.

"Guessed!"

Vukojevic immediately lunged to his left, and before that, he clearly had some power reserved.

But at this moment, Iniesta suddenly snapped at his feet.

It turned to the right again.

Under the continuous feints, Vukojevic split directly.

Iniesta, on the other hand, took advantage of this effort and transferred the ball to Pedro on the wing.

Pedro didn't break through immediately, but waited.

As soon as Iniesta ran forward into space, he immediately crossed.

'Pedro crossed the ball to Andres Iniesta, a brilliant one-two.'

Before he could finish speaking, Iniesta stepped over the ball and continued to sprint forward.

The missed ball went straight to Cesc Fabregas, who was standing in parallel.

At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to Cesc Fabregas, and his choice was very simple.

Cesc Fabregas met the ball and slid forward.

The ball slipped between Simunic and Pranic.

Iniesta accelerated into the penalty area, caught up with the ball, faced the Croatian goalkeeper, and fired a powerful left-footed shot!

The ball flew close to the ground towards the Croatian goal.

Swish!

The ball goes into the net!

In the 23rd minute, Spain took the lead with a wonderful front-court combination and scored by Andres Iniesta.

Spain 1:0 Croatia!

"Goal!!!!!!! ——”

"Iniesta! Wonderful passing and running cooperation, Iniesta's leakage and subsequent running position are too good, such a leak directly pulled Croatia's attention to Fabregas, and he took advantage of the situation to plunge forward to the middle, with Fabregas's pass completely tore apart Croatia's back line and scored! ”

"Spain scored this goal in the way they do best, and at the same time put half a foot on the stage of the World Cup final!"

The South African commentator shouted.

'At the same time, it was a very bad goal for Croatia, they were passive and now they have conceded again, which makes the situation worse again.

"It's just that this is Croatia!"

'It's a resilient team and I'm sure Croatia can still adjust their mentality and they won't give up on the game here!'

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ——

The stadium was filled with cheers from Spanish fans.

The entire Durban stadium is filled with the voices of Spanish fans.

"Iniesta! Wonderful goal, which let us see the factor of Spanish technology, and at the same time, there is a tacit passing and running cooperation, imaginative leaks and running, which completely disrupted the Croatian defense! ”

"Well done, boys!"

González, the Spanish commentator, shouted loudly.

But he quickly said seriously: "Although the score is ahead, we must not relax, we must maintain good concentration and fighting spirit." ”

Despite being in the lead, the situation is in the ascendancy.

But Gonzalez was still very jealous of Croatia.

Or rather, fear of Suk!

A player like Suker, if he is given the slightest chance, he can score.

Therefore, there must be no relaxation!

Vansteak pursed his lips.

The worst has happened!

Spain were the first to score!

In the pre-match tactical set-up, he thought about this question, once Spain scored first, what should he do?

But in the end, I couldn't find a suitable solution!

Any tactic can only provide some support for the game, but it cannot decide the game.

The players are the main body of a game, and their performance determines the direction of the game.

So, if that happens, Vansteak will have to choose to trust the players.

"Duimovich!"

Vansteak turned his head and shouted, "Go warm up!" ”

Dujmović immediately stood up.

The others looked at Duimovich.

Is the Croatian language about to sacrifice the demon sword again?

"Periphery!"

"Pass it on!! ——”

Modric raised his hand and shouted for a pass.

When the ball reached his feet, Modric feigned his foot to shoot, but his right foot was pulled to the left.

He pulled the ball to the left and immediately connected it with his left foot to a goal.

Bite!

The ball bounced off the crossbar.

In an instant, the Spanish backline was in disarray.

Suke slammed forward.

He was caught between the two of them, and it was very uncomfortable.

Looking at the ball close at hand, Suker slammed into the tackle.

Bang!

The ball hit Puyol's feet and flew off the baseline.

Spain solved the dangerous Croatian attack, but it still made them break out in a cold sweat.

They forcibly restrained Suker, but Modric started to exert his strength.

"Well done! Luca! ”

Su Ke punched hard: "Go on!" ”

Modric nodded vigorously.

Croatia's corner.

Modric runs for a free throw.

Bang!

After Modric's free throw, Mandzukic and Suker sprinted towards the spot.

"Mario!"

Suke rushed over, and he immediately turned his head and shouted.

Mandzukic pulls onions on dry land.

There was no run, so he was not high enough, but he still played the ball back to Rakitic behind him.

Rakitic looked up at the ball.

The ball was falling, and next to him, Alonso was watching.

The moment the ball hit the ground, Alonso slammed into it.

At that moment, Rakitic pulled the ball to his left and jumped slightly to unload Alonso's impact in the air.

The right foot jerked up.

"Block!!"

Casillas roared.

Pique lunged over, and a sideways slide was about to block.

At this point, Rakitic stepped on his feet and flicked the ball across to Modric on the wing again.

Luka Modric stopped the ball safely and, unguarded, looked towards the middle.

"Suke!! ——”

Modric immediately hoisted his foot into the penalty area.

Suke shook his hands vigorously.

Damn it!

When Lao Tzu is a donkey, right?

Suke cursed in his heart, but his eyes were fixed on the ball.

Just as he was about to take off, Puyol suddenly moved sideways.

It was a big stride, and it blocked Suke hard, and the two fell together.

"Hey!"

Su Ke immediately raised his hand.

The referee didn't say anything.

"Doesn't this blow foul? Puyol's action is so big! ”

Klašiwicz angrily opened his hand, a metaphor for Puyol's movements.

But the referee didn't give any signal, and Spain wanted to take the opportunity to counterattack, but the ball was directly and ferociously shoveled out of the sideline by Vukojevic.

The referee then called a halt to the game.

The Croatian players surrounded them in an instant.

The Croatian players argued, and at the coach's bench on the sidelines, Bilic was also angrily protesting to the referee.

But he couldn't get any response, and the referee was even reaching for his pocket, and he was about to pull out his cards.

"Go back! Get back! ”

Sooke yelled, "Don't waste time, we're still behind!" ”

With that, Suke glared fiercely at the referee; "I remember you!"

I'm still playing, and I'll settle the scores when the game is over!

Spain's hand-tossed ball.

The Croatian players were furious based on the unfair decision.

So the action has become a little bigger.

Bang!

Rakitic knocked Alonso down and grabbed the ball at the same time.

Sukh thought the referee would blow the whistle and signal for a foul.

But this guy didn't blow the whistle.

Even the Spanish players were stunned for a moment.

"Pass the ball!"

Suke slammed forward.

The referee didn't blow the whistle, so he was stunned.

Rakitic was aware of it, but there was no passing point left in Suker's position.

At this moment, someone next to him suddenly stepped forward.

"Divide the ball!"

Modric was seen running wildly along the side.

Aside from Suke, he reacted the fastest.

Rakitic immediately distributed the ball to Modric.

Modric accelerated forward and raced to catch the ball.

At the same time, he made a sharp stop under his feet and looked up at the big forbidden area.

Ramos thought Modric was going to cross, so he immediately got closer.

At this moment, Modric slammed the ball across the ball, started with great determination, used explosive power to open some gaps, and swept the pass towards the goal.

"Modric's pass! Croatian players are outflanking! ”

"Mandzukic!!"

Bang!

Mandzukic hit the ball, but Casillas reacted quickly and the ball rolled into his calf towards the back post.

And there, Suker slammed into the spot where the ball landed.

"Suke!!!!! ——”

At this moment, all the Spanish players counted down.

Puyol immediately turned around and wanted to run over to block it.

But Suker didn't make any adjustments at all, when he was running, he looked at the ball hanging in the air, the whole person jumped up gently, his body was slightly tilted to the left, his right foot was raised, and with the inertia of running, he kicked the ball towards the goal.

Swish!!!

The ball goes into the net!

On 35 minutes, Croatia scored and equalized!

"Goal!!!!!!!! ——”

"Suke! It's Sooke again! It's always Suke! ”

"After we fell behind, Suker took the opportunity and scored the goal!"

"Wonderful! It's so exciting! Croatia equalizes! ”

'Of course, Suker scored the goal, but we can't ignore Modric's play!'

"After conceding the goal, Modric stepped up his attack, tried to score from distance several times, and at the same time kept passing the ball to his teammates, and it was with his active running and play that Croatia scored this goal!"

"At the same time, this goal is also telling us that the lads don't give up, we still have a chance!"

Boom la la la !!!!!! ——

The Croatian fans applauded and cheered excitedly.

The Durban Stadium was once again a sea of joy for Croatia.

Spain scored, they were behind!

But they immediately tied the score.

This is Croatia!

This is the lone wolf of Eastern Europe, biting to death and not letting go!

At the Spanish coach's seat, Bosque pursed his lips, his palms constantly relaxed and clenched into fists, repeatedly.

Predictably, his heart was very nervous.

Croatia's attacks have hardly any discipline or tactics to speak of.

Running is also a mess!

But it was because of the confusion that they managed to interfere with the Spanish defence and finally get the goal.

Croatia are playing messily, but they are attacking after all.

Spain are on the defensive, and if they mess up, it's a fatal problem.

Crucially, Alonso and Xavi couldn't turn around.

Both sideways and forward passes were blocked, and Croatia was still so resolute in their blockade of the midfield, while relying on counterattacks from the flanks to keep up the pressure.

Of course, the most fatal of them all is Suke.

Bosque is hell!

Obviously, they have already put so much defensive force into Suke.

But this guy was still able to score goals.

Hell knows how he got to that position!

In the position on the sidelines, Dujmovic also tilted his head, puzzled; "Why is Suke's movement always so weird, and he always finds a miss?"

Hearing this, Srna was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said; "Is it possible that he just doesn't trust you to score and is ready to shoot at any time?"

Duimovich was stunned for a moment.

"He doesn't trust Mario?"

Srna silently added in his heart.

'And you'

Suker's top shots were Mandzukic and Dujmovic.

A goalkeeper steals, but the shooting is a bit flawed, so Suker is able to pick up the slack.

Even, in order to better make up for the problem of not scoring goals, Mandzukic maintained a strong miracle when shooting, did not pursue the angle, and hit the goal vigorously.

In this way, even if the ball is saved by the opposing goalkeeper, it will cause the problem of getting out of the hand, and then Suker will have more opportunities to make up the shot.

Dujmovic was the basic wave.

Don't look at this guy as a demon knife, he scored a lot of goals at critical moments.

But after the wave, more goals were not scored!

But that's exactly what this guy is the best at.

After the others didn't score a few kicks, they were embarrassed to shoot.

But Dujmovic won't do that, he's been shooting from distance as always.

And the quality of the shots is getting better and better every time.

Generally speaking, having one of these guys on a team is enough of a headache.

But the point is that Croatia has a leak king!

It's very comfortable!

It just so happens that Su Ke can be liberated in this way, which can be regarded as a small routine.
