Chapter 18 European Cup Qualifiers (One More Subscriptions!) )

On September 7, following the 2010 World Cup, the Croatian team gathered to face the national team again.

The match was supposed to be a qualifier for Euro 2012.

Croatia will host Latvia.

"After a month, once again ushered in the national team competition, following the World Cup, Croatia set off again to face the 2012 European Championship, as the defending champion of the European Championship, the new coach Besic said in a low-key interview that our goal is to qualify, but I believe that Croatia can perform better in the European Championship qualifiers, including the main game!"

People's expectations are infinitely high!

If you haven't played in the European Championship, you're desperate to get into the main competition.

If you enter the main round, then you want to enter the knockout round.

If you get to the knockout rounds, you want a better position.

"It's over!"

Watching the Croatian players come over one after another, the Latvian players subconsciously swallowed.

"Features?"

In an instant, Suke's figure burst away like a rocket.

Defenders: Clava, Ivanovs, Mihayoks, Gersko.

Suker, Modric, Mandzukic and others belong to the first and most successful period.

Brozovic couldn't hear clearly because of the number of people, but he still smiled and waved.

Boom!

Brozovic's expression froze, and he tilted his head slightly.

"The players from both sides came in, and the starting line-up on the Croatian side largely followed the line-up from the World Cup, and the new coach Besic did not make many changes, but in the goalkeeper position, he chose the younger Subbasi."

Swish!!

"Marcelo!! Marcelo!! Marcelo!! ”

The camera is almost always focused on Suke.

Croatia's high pressing, which is a headache for many strong teams.

Latvia (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Vannings.

Others made a pair of threes, and Vansteak bombed directly, and took it away with a straight.

Soon, players from both sides entered.

Latvian striker Carlsens said to his strike partner Vepakovskis.

Either I'll you up, or you'll me down.

Srna patted Brozovic.

Brozovic was stunned!

Even if it's a weak team, it's a group that gathers the best players in a country!

Arguably, this is the essence of Latvian football.

Clava shouted, turning for support.

The latter is also a heavy nod.

In the stadium, players from both sides lined up.

In the 28th minute, Perisic received a pass from Rakitic, did not stop the ball, and hung directly to the back of the penalty area.

Suker grinned and pulled his Rolex watch out of his bag.

"Do you see?"

Even though a week had passed, he still hadn't been freed from the onslaught of his faith.

This allows you to win the game and train the substitutes.

"Srna! Pure physical confrontation, snatched the ball! ”

For this little brother who was greatly impacted by his faith when he first joined, Srna still took good care of it.

For Besic, the bomb in his hand should be smashed at the most valuable opportunity!

In the field, the Latvian players saw that Croatia was not approaching, and they were cautious for a while, but soon they couldn't bear the loneliness and began to try to advance.

The Latvian centre-back immediately rushed towards Suker, who feinted to shoot and quickly pulled out the space.

Su Ke nodded, then turned around and clapped his hands, and said loudly;

Just as the opponent rushed towards Suker and everyone wanted to stop Suke, they saw him pass the ball lightly to the side.

He was hoping for a frustration when Suker stopped the ball.

"In 11 minutes, Croatia leads Latvia 1:0!!"

Even, due to a World Cup, the number of Suke's individual fans has increased wildly, which has also led to Suke's influence and commercial value rising.

It was a combination of strong individual ability, mental quality, tactical discipline and many other factors.

Suke slammed Brozovic's head over.

Swish!

The ball touches the net!

Kicking a ball is the same as playing chess.

But it was just training and in the game they got stronger.

For Croatia, they have already won the European Championship once, and this time, after the baptism of the World Cup, they will only get stronger.

Luka Modric made a scalpel-like through ball to help Suker complete a one-on-one effort and score again.

"Speak!"

"Really?"

At this moment, the locker room shook.

Vansteak turned to look at Besic.

But before leaving, Suker turned his head: "If you can get a chance to play this year, or come off the bench, I'll give you the watch!" ”

Boom!

Brozovic was also hugging the players.

But at this moment, Simunic stopped the ball steadily, looked up ahead, and after noticing the position of his teammates, he actually made a long pass with his feet!

"Suke!! ——”

"Perisic is a good runner and finisher, if he doesn't have the ball!"

Suker sprinted sharply along the flank, and the attribute of the two-speed 98 fully exploded, like a sharp sword to quickly chase the ball.

The cheers poured down like the waves of the sea.

Moreover, judging from the training camp in the past few days, Brozovic's talent is still very good, but it needs more experience and slowly forms combat effectiveness.

Defending European Cup champions!

World Cup Semifinals!

All of this is telling Latvia that they need to be cautious.

On the other hand, playing chess with a strength higher than oneself can also grow rapidly with the support of talent.

It's so strong that it seems to be able to defeat any opponent!

Fifteen minutes, just four minutes after the previous goal.

How did you change your style?

Forwards: Perisic, Mandzukic, Suker.

Klaushyvich shouted loudly.

Hearing Besic's words, Brozovic was a little disappointed.

Lao Tzu can't cure you anymore?

As soon as Suker was about to speak, Srna shouted: "Stop teasing him, stuff your watch back, do you want to take cards and leave?" ”

Bilic didn't care about things and had no tactical talent, so Vansteyak arranged Croatia's tactical set-up.

Watching Croatia cautiously test them, Latvia was somewhat overwhelmed.

"Wave? Waving mother, a big-headed ghost!! ——”

In the first half, Latvia kicked off first.

The crowd yelled.

And on the bench, Croatia's substitutes also jumped with excitement.

Brozovic is Besic's third season in charge of Dinamo Zagreb.

This is the Croatian national team he is familiar with!

Soon, players from both sides assembled in the players' tunnel.

"That's a lot of people!"

Swish!!

Maximir Stadium.

Isn't Croatia's style like a mad dog, constantly pounding?

Although I don't have much expectation in my heart, I am always looking forward to playing for the national team.

The starting line-up is as follows:

Croatia, 3:0 Latvia.

"Ivanovs!! ——”

"Mario. Mandzukic!! Suker's breakthrough was unreasonable, as he assisted Mandzukic for his first goal in European Championship qualifying! ”

Croatia began to rely on passing and changes in tempo, attacking from time to time, but killing time more with the ball.

Swish!!!! ——

What's more, Brozovic was selected for the national team at the age of 18 years and 123 days, becoming the youngest in Croatian history to enter the national team.

Suker slaps his horse and volleys to score again.

Although Croatia were eliminated in the World Cup as the last four, Suker's strong performance in the World Cup is still fresh in the memory of many fans.

But once the other party holds back a king bomb in his hand, the 'straight' in Vansteak's hand will be killed in his hand.

In this regard, Becich turned his head to look at Vansteak and said; "Do you know what Perisic's characteristics are?"

In the Croatian locker room, Besic said lightly:

"Let's play the game according to the main lineup today, we can't relax our vigilance just because the opponent is Latvia, do a solid job in every defense and counterattack, and run the game smoothly, so as to win the final victory!"

Brozovic also blinked, so that's right.

Mandzukic quickly followed up and met the ball and fired towards the right-hand side of the goal.

Klašiwicz couldn't help but blink in astonishment.

Latvia, on the other hand, were completely distracted by Croatia's rhythm and didn't know how to play at all.

'You're here to cheer me on!' ’

They were delighted with the brilliant tackle.

Luka Modric combined with Vukojevic to disrupt the rhythm of the opposition's passing while pressing the ball towards the wing.

And Vansteak's style is a hot genre again.

Swish!!

Brozovic's eyes lit up.

Croatia didn't react much to this, they allowed Latvia to take a gentle half of their game, and then.

Besic clenched his fists slightly: "Strangling!" ”

He found that Croatia did not rush forward.

"You fucking made it to the national team! Why? You entered the country so quickly? Get out of the way and stay away from Sooke. Ah~~~ Jealousy is dead! ”

It can be said that Croatia's frequent injuries are based on this high-pressure tactic.

At this point, Srna played the ball back to Simunic.

There was only one chance, just a counter-attack, and they got the score.

Just by feeling, this Croatian team already has the feeling of a hundred warriors, not the frizzy children of the past.

Kovacic was almost half of his body hanging from the railing, half of his body leaned out, and kept yelling at the pitch:

One by one, like headless flies, rushing around.

"What's going on?"

These are all players who play in the five major leagues, including Suker and Modric. Srna, Mandzukic and other stars.

Brozovic turned his head to look over and saw his good friend Mateo Kovacic standing at the front of the stands, constantly calling his name.

The second installment is Rakitic, Joel Luka, Subasic and many more.

However, in the third period, the quantity and quality have decreased slightly, and so far, only Brozovic and Kovacic have attracted the most attention.

Su Ke should be a hero who combines good qualities such as iron blood, bravery, calmness, hard work, and modesty!

Instead of rubbing people's little GG's lewd men!

The powerful explosive power is transmitted to the ground through the ball of the foot, and at the same time, it gives back to itself with more powerful impact ability.

Eventually, the goal will be the champion!

This is human greed and ambition, which can also be called a dream.

"Be careful, Croatia are very good at pressing high and don't be disrupted by them!"

During the week-long training camp, Brozovic has fully felt the toughness of these Croatian main players.

Latvia's right wing-back Clava didn't even react before Suker rushed past him.

From the sidelines, Van Steak looked at the pitch and said: "Perisic is a very good player and with some time he can do even better. ”

Compared with Vansteak, Besic's style is more earthy, paying attention to the power when it should be forced, and the steady when it should be steady.

Strong!

It's so strong that your scalp is tingling!

Croatia (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Subazic.

"In addition, the youngster Perisic is still in the starting lineup, and his performance in the early stage of the World Cup is still very good, but due to the pressure of the game and the loss of the lineup, after entering the knockout round, he has not been able to continue to play!"

Suke's hand was placed directly on Brozovic's head, with a playful smile on his face.

Su Ke saw that everyone was about to appear, and immediately got up.

Forwards: Rubins, Carlsens, Pakovskis.

As the most influential star of the moment and a favourable contender for the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or, Suker has naturally attracted the attention of the world.

Midfielders: Rakitic, Vukojevic, Modric.

Becic turned his head and smiled, he reached out from his trouser pocket and patted Vansteak: "No, you guys are doing a good job!" ”

Vansteak was surprised; "Let him take the ball less?"

Besic is steady, one might even say steady.

It's just that, based on a steady mentality, Besic still took out the full main force to play in the first half.

Try to gain an advantage in the first half and then transition the second half smoothly.

"What? Want to play the main team? ”

Rubins was about to say something ruthless when he was pushed out by Srna and lost control of the ball at his feet.

But Su Ke almost didn't feel frustrated, faced the falling ball, lightly unloaded, and directly stopped the ball in front of him, which did not affect the running at all.

As soon as Latvian winger Rubins received the ball, he was stubbornly resisted by Srna.

'At the moment, Subasic plays for Dinamo Zagreb, has made a number of great saves at the start of the season, and his goal-line skills are excellent, so he is a goalkeeper to be reassured!"

The Croatian fans shook the stadium.

"Don't want to rob"

"Goal!!!!!!!!!!!! ——”

Midfielders: Caonia, Rafalskis, Lezahn.

"Actually, I was optimistic about him early on and chose him in the second list, but he didn't accept my invitation and stayed in Hayduk!"

In the court, the warm-up is over.

It was supposed to be a slow pace and suddenly accelerated.

You are a Latvia, why should we take out a high position?

These days of intensive training have helped Brozovic a lot.

The high pressing from start to finish is not completely consumed by even the Croatian players, who are known as iron men.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came into my ears.

For Latvia, how else will this game be played?

Luckily, Besic began to slow down the tempo.

Croatia leads Latvia 2-0.

His hero!

Oops!!

Clava's heart was urgent.

Becic nodded: "Carrying the ball will only become a burden for him, and it will attract too much attention and make him unable to play, he is more good at running without the ball, shooting directly or making the ball, and he has a certain defensive ability." ”

Vanstellak scratched his head; "So, we've all used it wrong before?"

Until the end of the first half, the game was still Croatia 3:0 Latvia.

Beep!

The whistle blows and the game begins.

No!

The rush was rushed, but it was only Suker and other strikers, and most of the other players were waiting in the half.

In less than 30 minutes, Croatia scored three goals.

In the first 11 minutes of the game, Croatia scored with a defensive counter-attack.

"This is the first round of Euro 2012 qualifying, Croatia hosts Latvia, boys, get the first win, start attacking the opponents, huh?"

He immediately turned his head and chased back.

Vansteak blinked curiously; "What are the characteristics?"

The Croatian fans in the stadium also immediately cheered.

Latvian defender Ivanovs also yelled at him, but he soon discovered that Croatia did not rush up.

"It's time for us to go!"

"Suke!! Latvia is in danger!! ”

Roar!!!!!!!!!!!! ——

Playing chess with a stinky chess basket will only get more and more stinky as you play.

Brozovic was twisted by Suke's head, but his eyes were still looking to the other side, and he muttered: "Of course I want to play the main team, but my strength is not enough, so I have to be patient!" ”

Brozovic warmed up in the middle of the stadium, looking around the stadium, looking at the crammed stands, the flags flying up and down, and the enthusiastic fans, and couldn't help but feel the influence of these Croatian super platinum generation.

The training camp in the past few days has been very hard, but it is also very fulfilling.

It has to be said that compared to Bilic, the manager has something.

"Guys! Let's make a fuss! ”

Latvia thought Croatia was going to be gradual, so instead of retreating quickly, they tried to find opportunities to tackle in the front.

Although it doesn't have the feeling of a hundred flowers blooming in the first installment, it still fills Dinamo Zagreb fans with a sense of anticipation.

However, Croatia broke into the back line three times in less than 30 minutes, and directly poked the opponent's goal out of three holes.

Brozovic glanced and turned his head; "Vulgar!"

Latvia are not a strong team and for Croatia they only need a mixed squad of main substitutes to win the game.

Don't leave room for the other party, grab the throat and bite to death until you lose your breath.

Defenders: Pranic, Simunic, Kovac, Srna.

Is this going to play positional warfare?

"Be careful! They're going to impact."

The domineering spirit that originated from the defending champions of the European Championship was vividly displayed.
