Chapter 1173 The Decisive Moment Has Arrived (First Update, Please Subscribe!)
The fire in my heart was completely ignited at this moment.
One step forward is the top four, one step back is a cliff.
Four years of hard work cannot be let down here.
The moment Joelluka scored the goal, his mind was blank, but it was soon filled with this surge of excitement. His whole face turned red, and he rushed to the corner kick area, struggling hard. roar.
All the stress, all the excitement, everything was let out in this moment.
Su Ke and others also rushed over immediately, knocking down Cioluka one by two, and played with each other.
They finally tied the score, and when the goal came, they were more excited than anyone else.
"Well done!"
Suk rubbed Cielluka's head vigorously.
The latter also showed an expression of great enjoyment.
The moment Su Ke stepped on the ball, in fact, he was gambling.
He didn't have time to observe whether Joel Luka reached this position. He could only rely on his instinct of tactical running and keep the ball in place.
It is impossible for Alves to give him a chance to shoot. If he forces the shot, he is likely to hit Alves and even be injured.
This is the worst possible situation!
But Cholluka lived up to Suker's expectations and ran into position.
Just like the previous training, run steadily to your own position and then score a goal.
"Well done! Well done!"
Krauszovich was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He kept clapping his hands, and his palms were red, but he felt nothing.
Suker's breakthrough was wonderful, disrupting the Brazilian team's defense by himself.
But Joel Luka's movement is also crucial. He appears where he is needed most and then scores goals steadily.
With this goal, the game returned to its starting point again, and Croatia evened the score.
This is not an easy thing. The moment Brazil scored, Croatia's situation was indeed not very good.
It can even be said that if the situation continues to be dragged out, they may become more passive.
And their desperate and fierce counterattack had an effect. The Brazilian team did not expect that Croatia's counterattack would be so fierce, and Suker's breaking point was also brought closer. These are the reasons for this goal.
Kaka looked at the celebrating Croatian players from a distance, and he shook his head helplessly.
The moment he lost the ball, he felt a little tired.
This fatigue comes from the emotions in the heart, not the body.
He actually already knew that Su Ke would take action, but he didn't expect it to be so swift.
And when the goal came, even he became a little frustrated.
There was no way around it. They managed to score a goal and had a certain advantage, but they were quickly equalized by Croatia.
Bang bang!
Kaka patted his cheek gently and shook his head.
He knows that now is not the time to be frustrated, there is still time in the game, and the next step is the key to victory.
The Croatian side ended the celebration and they returned to their own half.
Brazil is currently 1:1 Croatia!
In addition to fans from both sides, fans from the third party are also very excited.
This game was as fierce and exciting as they expected.
So far, both teams have made no mistakes, which means they are not rookies pecking each other, but goals have indeed appeared, which also shows that the offensive capabilities of these two teams are very strong.
"I knew this would happen!"
Pato curled his lips and looked at Suk with fear in his eyes.
Pato believes that he is the person who knows Suk best, not as a person, but in terms of technology.
After landing in the five major leagues, his template for hard work and transcendence has always been Su Ke.
He has continuously watched and analyzed Suker's game videos. He has also asked other people about Suker and even asked Suker directly.
It can be said that although the style is different, Pato really worked hard to become like Su Ke.
The reason is simple, this is the most outstanding football player he has ever seen.
And Su Ke, standing at the top, is naturally the existence that he needs to work hard to surpass.
Although there is still some gap between them so far, and Pato even thinks that he may not be able to surpass Suker in his career, this is not a reason for him to retreat.
"Guys, let's attack hard!"
After Pato shouted, he wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand: "I don't believe it is invincible!"
Beep!
With a sharp whistle, the game starts again!
After the Brazilian team kicked off, they still maintained control of the situation in the midfield.
However, at this moment, Croatia's reaction was more intense.
Obviously, Croatia also understands that it cannot give up control of the midfield to the opponent. It must put pressure on the Brazilian midfielder at all times to prevent them from organizing an effective attack.
Croatia's overall actions are extremely fast and fierce.
Combined with the surge in morale after the goal, Croatia has reached its peak in terms of momentum at this moment.
The Brazilian team did not give up too much. Although they conceded the goal, it was a home game after all. They had one more reason than Croatia not to lose.
Bang!
Kaka turned around and made a long pass. He wanted to copy his previous goal, and even if he failed, he would still be a threat.
However, this time, Croatia was on guard.
The moment Kaká passed the ball, Modric took the lead and entangled Pato, hindering the opponent's start.
And Joel Luca was behind him, quickly retreated, quickly controlled the landing point, and headed the ball out before Pato.
The ball reached the front and was controlled by the retreating Rakitic. Rakitic had his back to the attacker. He was not in a hurry to release the ball, but passed it back to Vukojevic, who then passed it to the open space. Modric, this time it was Croatia's turn to control the midfield.
Su Ke still runs from the side to the center.
This kind of running will affect the Brazilian team's defensive chain more efficiently, but Suker also feels the pressure.
After he created a scoring opportunity, Brazil defended him even tighter.
Suk didn't take a step, and Casemiro followed even closer.
Several times, he defended directly.
Casemiro's defensive thinking is different from others, especially when targeting Suker, he does not dare to distance himself.
He clearly knows that Su Ke has great flexibility and ability to escape in a small area, so he must put physical pressure on him as soon as possible. Only in this way can he correctly restrict Su Ke.
Once Su Ke pulls him some distance away, Su Ke can complete the escape action within the limit of time and break away from his defense.
Suker retreated from the center to the sideline, with Casemiro always following him.
Su Ke also looked towards his own half, and there was still defensive pressure.
Just like he is putting pressure on the Brazilian defense, Neymar and Pato on the Brazilian side are also putting pressure on them.
In fact, what worries Suker the most is not Pato. This guy is just the type that Croatia can handle. He rushes and accelerates quickly in a straight line, but he doesn't have much technical content and relies purely on physical fitness.
This kind of thing only needs reasonable cooperation and linkage to successfully limit it.
The difficulty in playing Brazil is Neymar.
Neymar is very capable. He was able to climb to the third place in the world during the era of Melo's dominance. This guy's talent is obvious.
And compared with the Brazilian team in the original time and space, this Brazilian team has the same mainstay Kaka, and also has an extra Pato who can move forward at any time.
These are what Neymar relies on, allowing him to perform better.
Neymar is obviously ready to move. He keeps receiving the ball on the left wing and runs very actively.
In several consecutive offensive attempts, Neymar also contributed good performance.
However, he has been unable to penetrate Srna's line of defense.
“It’s so damn hard!”
Srna stared at Neymar and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
After several consecutive attacks, Srna risked his life every time.
It is not easy to keep up with Neymar's rhythm, not to mention that he also needs to take care of other things. He must guard against Neymar's passes.
All this put a lot of pressure on Srna.
But no matter how great the pressure is, he must bear it!
Bang!
In the process of transferring the ball to Fred, it was suddenly intercepted by Vukojevic who came out halfway.
"Well done!"
Srna clenched his fists hard and yelled.
Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Slow down the pace, slow down the pace!"
Srna kept yelling reminders.
Modric also heard it, he took the initiative to receive the ball, and then began to slow down the rhythm.
The pressure on the back line is very high, and their physical energy consumption is also very high due to continuous running.
In order to give the defense some breathing time, Modric could not maintain the rhythm.
During the game, you can't just think about offense and defense, but you also have to take into account the status of your teammates.
"Croatia began to take the initiative to slow down the tempo, and at this time the time has entered the 40th minute, and the first half of the game is almost over."
As Croatia slowed down its pace, Brazil adopted the same strategy.
Obviously, after the first half, both sides were exhausted. They tacitly chose to call it quits and planned to fight again in the second half.
However, both sides still defend the opponent's key players very tightly.
After all, no one can predict the other party's sudden change of rhythm.
In this regard, whether it is Modric or Kaká, this is their specialty.
The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
They kept their focus until the buzzer sounded at the end of the first half, when they finally relaxed.
"The first half of the game is over. Two goals were scored in 45 minutes. Brazil 1:1 Croatia. Oscar and Joel Luca scored goals respectively, helping the teams to score a goal each!"
"With a draw in the first half, both sides focused on winning in the second half. I think the second half will definitely be more intense!"
Players from both sides returned to the tunnel amid fierce cheers.
They also saw enthusiastic fans, but they didn't have the time or the mood to respond.
At this moment, all their energy is focused on the game.
Back in the locker room, Kaka took off his sweat-soaked and sticky jersey, put his hands on his hips, panted, and turned his head and said: "You must run more in the second half! Especially on the left wing, don't forget, in the second half Su Ke threatens!”
Kaka gave a special reminder.
After failing to gain an advantage in the first half, entering the second half, their left wing will be continuously attacked with force.
No one knows better than Kaka how strong Suker will be in the second half.
This guy seemed to have his physical strength restored instantly, and he kept attacking the defense until the defense completely collapsed.
This is also the reason why the Brazilian team insisted on creating an advantage in the first half, only in this way can they compete with Croatia in the second half.
Now the two sides are tied after the first half.
This is not a very good situation, but it is not too bad.
For this reason, they must cheer up!
"Pato, you must retreat more in the second half, just play for 70 minutes and drain all the remaining physical strength!"
Kaka said seriously.
Pato also nodded immediately.
They are all from Milan, and they all know Suker's performance in the second half.
Suker, who is limited to the second half, can no longer rely on the back line. If so, he will only be kicked directly by Suker.
Therefore, the retreat of the right winger is very critical, only in this way can the strength of the defense be strengthened.
Moreover, Pato also thought about it before the game.
If he fails to take advantage in the first half, he will play as if it were 70 minutes, and completely drain the remaining energy in the last 25 minutes.
In order to limit Suker's performance, he needs to keep sprinting back and forth on the sidelines, which requires a lot of physical strength, but he is confident that he can do it.
The Brazilian coach also continued to arrange tactics on this basis.
This is their game at home, they can't lose, and they can't be eliminated in the quarterfinals.
So many Brazilian fans are watching and looking forward to their game, and it can't end like this.
On the other hand, Croatia is also arranging tactics in full swing.
The first half has shown that Brazil's offense is a threat to them, and the loss of the ball is the best proof.
Croatia did not make any mistakes, but Brazil broke through the defense line, which shows Brazil's offensive ability.
"We need to shrink more tightly in the second half, only in this way can we prevent Brazil from infiltrating." Besic said.
Joel Luca suddenly pursed his lips: "In this way, the sideline is completely open. Both of their wingers are very fast. If they go to the bottom or cut inside, we will be very uncomfortable."
Besic pursed his lips slightly, and he also knew this.
But there is always a priority. Brazil's penetrating kick is too threatening, and it directly exerts pressure on the central axis, and the shooting angle is more correct.
For this reason, compared to the central axis, Besic is more willing to give up the two wings and let them go to the bottom. As long as the middle is blocked, the shooting angle of the Brazilian team will be limited.
"In addition, we must also be careful of Brazil's set pieces and try not to let them play set pieces!"
Brazil has David Luiz on the side. Although he is a central defender, his set-piece footwork is excellent.
"We can also use set pieces!"
Suddenly, Van Styak spoke up.
Besic turned his head to look over, and Van Styak added: "Our advancement relies more on the vertical breakthroughs of Suker and Rakitic. On this basis, why not add some more weight?"
"If the breakthrough is successful, we will directly play inside. If the breakthrough is unsuccessful, then force the opponent to make a move. If you can cheat, cheat. If you can't cheat, you have to take a set-piece!"
Croatia also has many free kick players.
Suker, Modric, and Duimovic are all free kick players.
Among them, Suker is definitely a free kick master.
His free kick hit rate is very high!
"You can't take this as the only means. You are too obsessed with set-pieces. You should still penetrate when you should play. You can also try more on the two wings."
After a pause, Suker looked at Perisic and said, "Are you under a lot of pressure?"
Perisic was stunned for a moment and shook his head subconsciously.
Everyone also looked at Perisic. To be honest, Perisic's performance in this World Cup was not so positive.
He didn't take the initiative to ask for the ball too much, but felt a bit confused.
They can understand that Perisic is under great pressure and does not want to make mistakes. Moreover, this World Cup may be the last tournament for Srna, Dujmovic and others. He does not want to fail because of his lack of ability.
For this reason, he will give more key opportunities to others!
But in this way, the right wing will not be able to play.
Suk believes that he should be properly instilled with some ideas and cannot let this guy continue to play like this.
For now, if he encounters a stronger team in the future, such as Germany, when the left-wing attack does not work, the right wing must be played.
"Try to break through more, don't have too much burden, do the action first, and then slowly adjust the state, I'm here." Srna pursed his lips and waved his hand: "Forget it!"
He wanted to say that he could also go up to help.
But when he thought of the huge defensive pressure, he shook his head and gave up.
Once he ran up, he might not be able to run back.
It is safer to leave the attack in the second half to the front and middle court. The back line should try to keep it stable so as not to lose the ball first.
"Okay, let's do this! Let's take a break." After Besic said this, he suddenly waved to Duimovic in the crowd.
Duimovic was stunned for a moment and ran over immediately.
"How is your condition?" Besic asked directly.
Duimovic blinked: "I've always been in good condition!"
He couldn't say that he was in a bad condition!
Besic nodded: "If the second half is deadlocked, I plan to let you play in the 65th minute. I will let Suker, Rakitic, Perisic and others penetrate inside and break through vertically, and you must follow up immediately. When they attract attention, try long shots from the outside!"
Set-pieces cannot be the only means of attack, and long shots are also needed.
Although Modric also has long-range shooting ability, he has strict requirements for distance.
If it is too far, the power of the shot will be insufficient.
In fact, Modric is not a heavy gunner!
And the only heavy gunners in Croatia are Suker and Dujmovic.
In addition, it is inertial thinking. Dujmovic is a "demon sword". This guy has shown emergency rescue performance many times on the court.
Besic also regards him as a super substitute. Although he is old now, at this moment, he is still willing to believe in the veteran.
Dujmovic is also faintly excited.
I thought I would just play a supporting role in this World Cup and would always be on the bench, but I didn't expect to get a chance to play.
My heart is slowly getting agitated.
Who would want to be a substitute if they can play?
Duimovic believes that when the team needs him, he will definitely show the corresponding performance.
