In the city of Durban, the night wind carries a hint of humidity.

Under the lights of the training ground, the entire stadium is brightly lit.

In the empty court, a figure was juggling the ball alone.

Suke jerked the ball in earnest.

The rhythm and movement of the whole body are extremely natural and relaxed, which is the state that the body and the ball fit to a certain extent.

[Ronaldinho's ball sense] provides Suker with this form.

Bang!

Suke kicked the ball into the air hard, tilted his head, stepped slightly sideways, judged where the ball landed, and gently extended his right foot.

The moment the ball touches the surface of the foot, there is a slight cushioning movement, but the next second the ball seems to stick to the surface of the foot.

Su Ke even clamped the ball with the surface of his foot and calf, and followed Xiao Luo's example, turning at will with one foot, and the ball did not move at all.

"This ball feeling is absolutely amazing!"

Su Ke couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Previously, Suker had Marcelo's ball sense, which had already given him a strong increase.

But now after feeling Xiao Luo's ball sense, Su Ke understands what 'ball sense' is.

It's a completely different concept!

That's right!

It's the concept!

If Marcelo is controlling the ball, then Ronaldo is one with the ball.

The ball is like a part of the body, like an arm, and every touch of the ball can bring Suker a sense of extreme enjoyment.

It's a feeling of being in complete control of the ball.

As if at his feet, he can manipulate the ball at will, without any deviation at all.

Su Ke followed Xiao Luo's example again and used a flick of the oxtail!

In the past, Suker had tried this movement as well, but it was not so standardized, the amplitude was not large, and there was a gap in coherence and rhythm.

This gives a sense of incoherence, rigidity.

It's not as chic and natural as Xiao Luo at all.

Now, with Suker flicking the ball horizontally, the ball is almost attached to the top of his foot, using the cross-step movement to dribble the ball, and the moment he smashes the ball, the nimble ankle also provides great help.

The moment of smashing the ball, it is extremely hidden, and with the gaze of the body and eyes, the whole thing is very confusing.

Sooker flipped the ball upside down again, using his toes, calf bones, heels, shoulders, forehead, and even buttocks.

And all of this, Suk was able to do with ease.

In the process, there is even a sense of pleasure.

Xiao Luo is happy to play football!

At first, Su Ke wondered why Xiao Luo was able to play so happily.

But now, Sooke felt it.

With such an unnatural sense of the ball, and this kind of completely controlled control, anyone is happy to play.

I was going to give it a simple try, but I didn't expect it to get better and more the more I practiced.

But he didn't know that in a corner not far away, Modric, Srna, Vukojevic and others were looking at Suker who was practicing alone under the light with worried eyes.

"He's supposed to be the hardest, right?"

Modric broke the silence with a sudden sound.

Hearing this, the remaining two sighed slightly.

The World Cup in Croatia is over.

Although there are still competitions for third and fourth place, this has lost its meaning.

"Tommy, how's it going over there?" Srna asked, turning her head.

Vukojevic; "After dinner, I went straight to bed!"

Srna sighed; "Tommy shouldn't be feeling good either, he hasn't spoken since he got on the bus."

'It's understandable, because if he had scored that goal, we would have had a chance.'

"But that's not his problem."

"Don't think about it, the World Cup is over, wait four years!"

Srna shook her head and sighed.

With that, he turned his head to look at Suke in the light again, and then turned to leave.

At night, the hotel in Croatia was quiet.

After the loss, it's hard to adjust to the atmosphere.

At this time, no one wants to liven up the atmosphere.

"I'm back."

Su Ke wiped the rain from his face and said speechlessly: "After kicking for a while, it is raining!" ”

Modric looked at Suker: "You can really do it, you just finished the game, and you can still train your ball sense. ”

Su Ke shrugged: "Can't be idle!" I went to take a shower first. ”

Suke picked up a change of clothes and walked into the bathroom and began to rinse up.

After a while, Suke walked out again, and his body became much refreshed.

"Comfortable!"

Suke sat on the couch and exhaled.

Modric still turned his head to look out at the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Rather than focusing on the neon-lit night scene of Durban, he plunged into the darkness and looked out into the distance.

"We're almost going to Johannesburg!"

Modric muttered.

Suke nodded: "Yes, almost!" ”

Modric looked at Suker and opened his mouth, but ultimately did not speak.

Instead, Suke grinned;

"If there's a fart, let it go!"

Modric has no good air; "Isn't this time comforting enough?"

"Comfort a fart! It's not that you lost so badly, besides, comfort is reserved for the weak, and after four years, isn't it okay to beat Spain violently? ”

Modric grinned; "That's the way it is, but"

Su Ke waved his hand: "Don't think so much, play the last game well, be anxious, this is our first World Cup!" We are not Brazil, Italy, Germany and other teams with historical heritage, entrepreneurship is risky, now we are considered pioneers, let's play the next game well. ”

"And what does Spain say?"

"More really?" Suker rolled his eyes angrily: "People were already fourth in the World Cup 60 years ago, and they have participated in 13 World Cups, and Croatia's history is not much more than the number of years they have participated in the World Cup!" ”

Luka Modric: "Are you making excuses for me? ”

"If you feel comfortable like that!"

Suke shrugged.

Modric shook his head.

The whole Croatian team is full of wood, and they don't know how to comfort people.

But fortunately, their psychological quality is strong enough to survive on their own.

Just as the two were about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door.

Suke walked over to open the door and found Srna standing in the doorway.

With a hint of exhaustion and helplessness on his face, Srna gestured in the direction of the hallway.

Suker and Modric looked at each other and immediately followed.

At the end of the corridor, in front of the door that leads to the stairwell, a group of Croatian players gathered.

At the fire escape, suppressed cries can be faintly heard.

After Suker and Modric came over.

Mandzukic whispered; "It's Tommy!"

Suke grinned and turned his head to look over.

Srna asked, "What to do?" ”

The crowd ran out of ideas and turned to look at Suke.

Suke was speechless; "Let me persuade? Forget it, I don't have the ability to do this, besides, he doesn't bother the people, just let him cry and vent. ”

Hearing this, everyone also felt that it made sense.

Just as they were about to disperse, there was a loud cry in the fire escape.

Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop ~~~~

Dujmović was crying at the top of his throat.

The mournful cry echoed through the hallway, shaking their eardrums.

Everyone subconsciously covered their ears and turned their heads to look at Su Ke again.

I saw that Su Ke walked over, kicked open the door of the fire escape with a fierce kick, and roared:

"Don't fucking cry, no one can stand your broken duck voice!"

"Whoa, whoa... Oh.. Oh? ”

Su Ke was not angry: "Oh, your sister, come out!" Go to the room and talk. ”

Duimovich had tears in his eyes: "Are you comforting me?" ”

"Don't force me to beat you!" Suke raised his hand, and Dujmovich subconsciously shrunk his neck and obediently walked out of the fire escape to the room.

Everyone immediately gave a thumbs up to Suke.

It's got to be you!

In the room, everyone was scattered in all corners, and Duimovich stood against the wall, his hands propped up on the wall, and his head was lowered to look at his toes, which were still squirming from time to time, like a child who had made a mistake.

Across from him, Suke sat on the bed with Srna.

Suke sat cross-legged with his hands folded.

He looked at Duimovich with helplessness in his eyes.

This guy is purely guilty, and he doesn't know how to vent.

"Let's talk about it, if this can make it a little easier."

Suke spoke up.

Hearing this, Duimovich began to cry again.

"I, I. If if that ball."

Seeing Duimovich's choked and stumbling appearance, Su Ke immediately waved his hand: "Don't cry, it's annoying!" ”

Dujmovich immediately stopped crying, he pursed his lips, bowed, and said:

'I'm sorry, it's all my problem, if that goal goes in, we'll have hope.'

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

Srna sighed; "You don't blame the ball, we said before, we are a unit, whether we win or lose, we have to admit responsibility together."

"It's not your fault alone, we're all responsible."

With that, Srna raised his hand: "If I hadn't been hurt!" ”

Kovac raised his hand; "If I don't have a red card!"

Modric; "If I play better."

Rakitic; "If my pass was smoother!"

Everyone reviewed it one after another.

Finally, they looked at Suke in unison.

Su Ke slowly raised his hand under his gaze:

"If I can score ten goals!"

Everyone: "."

Ahem!

Srna coughed dryly: "That's it, victory can certainly make us proud and proud, but after defeat, we also need to sum up experience, this defeat does not mean anything, we still have a future!" In 2014 we will build on this foundation even stronger. ”

Mandzukic nodded; "That's right, just like Srna said, in the next four years, we will gradually usher in the peak!"

"Tommy, no one blames you, so you don't have to feel guilty!"

"Don't worry! Tommy! ”

"You've done well enough, playing the penalty shootout for the German team, if you hadn't given Suker a chance to get the killer back, we might have fallen early!"

In the comfort of everyone, Duimovich also had a warm current surging in his heart.

"Thank you!" Duimovich said sincerely, and then his tone changed, adding; "Okay, this time it's over, I can't mention it again in the future, 'don't shoot at the door', 'can't shoot', 'stinky foot Tommy', you can't give me this nickname!"

Everyone rolled their eyes angrily.

"Finally."

Dujmović cocked up his index finger.

"You're pretty demanding."

Mandzukic laughed and scolded; "Fart!"

Dujmovic looked at Mandzukic embarrassedly: "Although you didn't kick in, but. I still want to be your dad! ”

Hearing this, the room suddenly fell silent.

Mandzukic stared at Dujmovic with wide eyes.

Others also winked.

Su Ke waved his hand and got up: "Mario, you can do it, I'm going back to sleep!" ”

"I'm gone, too!"

"Good night!"

"Bye-bye!"

With Suker leaving, the other Croatian players also left the room.

As they walked out of the room, Dujmovic's screams rang out, followed by Mandzukic's furious voice.

"Want to be my dad? Lao Tzu beat you to death! ”

On 11 July, the Croatian players returned to the Durban Stadium.

Here they will take on England for their final World Cup match.

That is, the battle for the third and fourth places.

England is also an old rival of Croatia, and has faced each other many times in the European Cup qualifiers and World Cup qualifiers.

And in the recent encounters, England has also lost more and won less.

Therefore, for England, although it is a battle for three or four places, it is still very difficult.

The starting line-ups for both sides are as follows:

Croatia (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Pleticosa.

Defenders: Jorluka, Simunic, Pranic, Konezevic.

Midfielders: Perisic, Vukojevic, Rakitic, Modric, Suker.

Forward: Mandzukic.

England (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: David. James.

Defenders: Upson, Johnson, Terry, Ashley Cole.

Midfielders: James Milner, Frank Lampard, Gerrard, Barry.

Forwards: Wayne Rooney, Defoe.

"It's the 2010 World Cup, a competition for three or four places! Croatia against England! ”

"In this game, both sides are also elite, after the World Cup, both sides have been lost, but they can still build on this!"

"Of course, the focus of this game is still on Suke!"

"In this World Cup, Suker has scored nine goals, he is far ahead of the scorer list, it can be said that Suker has been booked for the World Cup Golden Boot Award, but now it is more exciting to see if Suker can score another goal in this game and complete the achievement of scoring double goals in a single season!"

Under the camera, Suker is wearing a black Croatian away shirt.

He kept bouncing to warm up.

The chance to win the World Cup is gone, and at this point Suker also needs to turn the finger on the other side.

That's the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year.

Last season, Suker won the Golden Boot in La Liga and the Champions League, and even reached the semi-finals of La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Champions League.

On top of that, adding the World Cup runner-up and the World Cup Golden Boot, Suker's competition for the Ballon d'Or and the weight of the World Footballer of the Year will become even bigger.

Even according to the original time and space, Spain won the championship.

Xavi and Andres Iniesta only have one World Cup title, and with no title in the league, it is difficult to compete with Suker.

Sneijder, the runner-up of the World Cup, has a treble in the league, but lacks a World Cup Golden Boot.

It can be said that as long as Suker wins this match, his chances of winning will become even greater.

For his third Ballon d'Or and his second World Footballer of the Year, Suker must play even better.

For Croatia, England are a very familiar opponent but still can't let up.

At the same time, Su Ke also wondered why the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year were not merged.

Once merged, everyone else has no chance!

If they don't, they might still be able to split a prize.

But once they merge, it's really hard for them to compete with Suke.

Beep!!!

The whistle blows and the game begins.

The game lasts 16 minutes.

'Suker's constant dribbling touches helped Croatia sort out the rhythm of their attack, and he also attacked regularly on the flanks!'

Krosiewicz's eyes widened as he stared at Suke's dribbling stance.

The whole person is very agile and dashing, and the ball is like an arm at his feet, which causes England's defensive pressure to become very high.

And that's not all.

The ball flew high at Suker.

Suke turned sideways to face him and turned his head to look at Upson, who immediately lifted his position and kept a safe distance to prevent Suke from suddenly erupting.

In this regard, Su Ke squinted at it, and at the same time, his right shoulder swung back slightly, and he tapped lightly.

It was he who knocked the ball directly with his shoulder to Rakitic, who rushed to the ribs.

"It's so comfortable!"

Klašiwicz couldn't help but admire.

It's not just the angle of the pass, it's Suker's natural stance.

The whole person is very relaxed, and the rhythm of the body and the feet are in a natural and chic state.

This makes Suke's style of play extraordinarily elegant.

For some reason, Klausievich thought of Ronaldinho.

At this moment, Suke suddenly retreated and turned back to run sideways.

He walked from behind Rakitic towards the penalty area.

Rakitic immediately split the ball to the right.

Suker ran in an arc, feigning to shoot, and at the moment when Terry pounced, Suke stepped on the ball at his feet, lightly stuffed it towards the crotch, and the whole person dodged sideways.

The ball slipped under Terry's crotch.

"Oh~~~~!!!!! Wonderful! ”

Klausievich exclaimed.

This chic style of play is simply not too cool!

And after catching up with the ball, Suker did not delay at all, and immediately shot at the ball.

The ball arced past the England goalkeeper and flew into the side netting at the far post.

"Suke!!! Goal!!!! ”

"10th goal in the World Cup!! Scoring double goals in a single World Cup, this is a super scorer from Croatia! ”

"His crazy performances continue!"

Under the camera, Su Ke raised his arms to meet the fierce cheers of the audience.

Cheers began to spiral upwards.

This is the last game for Croatia and the last carnival of the summer.

Croatia played England for 90 minutes.

In this final warm-up match, Croatia finally defeated England 3-1 to win the third place.

And Suker shot and passed in this game, and once again put on a wonderful performance.

At the same time, Suke is also almost certain to win the Golden Boot Award for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa!
