"Bililic is really bold."
"In this kind of life and death battle, use Su Qin directly!"
"Croatia's ball!"
"Let's give the ball to No. 10 Modric."
"Here comes Shevchenko."
Lobanovsky Stadium.
When the live camera focused on Ukrainian No. 7, who had some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
The more than 40,000 Ukrainian fans present immediately let out bursts of crazy shouts.
The 33-year-old Shevchenko has already become the spiritual totem in the hearts of all Ukrainian fans.
Even though time has long since made him lose the ability that he once looked upon with disdain.
The 24-year-old Modric showed no mercy to the former Milan legend.
At the moment when Shevchenko grabbed it.
Modric then used a simple left-right kick to cut past Sheva.
There is no sloppiness.
The Ukrainian legend was severely left behind by the years.
Croatia's attack begins.
Although it was only the first attack of the opening game.
But Bilic had already stood on the sidelines and shouted wildly for the Croatian team to press on.
Croatia, which has been pushed into a desperate situation, has no retreat.
They can only successfully break through if they get 3 points in all the remaining three games.
Modric just dribbled the ball in the middle at high speed.
Beside him, Dario Srna, who was transformed into a midfielder by Bilic, followed Modric closely.
You know, Srna is the main full-back of Shakhtar Donetsk. He is strong defensively and has a precise cross that is the envy of all Croatian players.
This is how Bilic plays!
Except for the two sides, even the midfielders next to Modric, all players who can appear in the starting position have one thing in common!
That's a cross.
On the court!
Just in front of Srna.
Su Qin plunged into the Ukrainian restricted area as soon as the whistle sounded.
Watching Modric break through the center circle with the ball.
Ukrainian midfielder Aliyev immediately followed in stride.
However, Modric did not give Aliyev a chance to get close to him.
Just before Aliyev approached, with a secret diagonal pass, Modric handed the ball directly to Srna not far from his side.
Immediately afterwards, Modric quickly walked around Aliyev.
And Srna also knowingly stuffed the ball back to Modric again.
The distant city of Milan.
After finishing his day's work, Mourinho finally dragged his exhausted body back to his home.
After looking at his watch, the madman quickly sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV.
Today is Su Qin's life and death battle in Croatia.
As Su Qin's dream coach, how could he miss his favorite player's game?
Besides, he also wants to know whether Bilic can use his Su Qin.
Forehead.
4-4-1-1?
This lineup looks so familiar!
And this way of playing?
Modric's sudden attack from the center.
Also, the pressure from the two wings and the full-backs in tandem?
This is wrong
Isn't this
Croatia's attack continues.
Modric, who rushed into the Ukrainian backcourt with the ball, did not choose to go deep alone.
Just after Ukraine midfielder Shchuk rushed towards him at the end of the season, Modric quickly moved the ball to the right, and then handed the ball directly to Kranica who inserted in the backcourt.
There was no hesitation.
The moment he caught the ball, Kranica, just like his head coach shouted from the sidelines, hoisted the ball into the penalty area with a standard 45-degree long pass.
At that location!
Su Qin had long been firmly stuck in his position.
As old friends, Hacheridi and Almeida clearly knew how abnormal Su Qin's body was.
Therefore, this time, the two brothers did not dare to be careless and went together.
However, they planned to prevent Su Qin from heading directly towards the goal. Unexpectedly, this time, Su Qin had no intention of directly attacking the goal after taking off.
He simply touched the ball.
The football suddenly changed direction and suddenly fell towards the back point.
"Hey, what a great shot!"
"Su Qin headers the ball!"
"Fokjevich!!!"
"One kick in the air and a blast!"
"Oh, what a pity!"
"Fokjevich played this ball too anxiously. In fact, he could have stopped the ball, adjusted it and played it again!"
Duan Xuan at the commentary table sighed with regret.
At this time, the Ukrainian fans who were still singing were much quieter under Fukjevich's shocking shot.
Sideline!
Watching such a great opportunity go to waste.
Bilic was so angry that he jumped up on the spot.
However, the anger returned, and the joy on Bilic's face was still obvious.
Just this attack!
Bilic knew he had made the right bet.
Sure enough, Mourinho's tactics suit him.
Modric is like Sneijder of Inter Milan!
And Eduardo is like a small version of Eto'o.
The two wingers and the full-backs stepped in to assist!
Alas, I just lack a world-leading right back like Maicon.
Otherwise, my own Croatia would be perfect.
Forget it, people can't be too shameless.
Bilic was delighted, not far away in front of the Ukrainian bench.
Oleg Blokhin, who was tricked by Bilic, felt uncomfortable.
Croatia's shot scared Oleg Blokhin to the point of having a heart attack.
This is the first attack after the opening.
And, compared to shooting.
In fact, what Oleg Blokhin is most worried about is the two central defenders in his backcourt.
I was tortured by someone just seven days ago, but I didn't expect to meet him again before the first seven days were over.
Oleg Blokhin saw clearly the scene where the two people were in a panic just now.
In that state, can he guard against that Inter Milan Su?
However, it is a bit too early to change players now. Besides, there is really no one in Ukraine who can be better than these two.
The game started again.
Ukrainian offensive.
Shevchenko was at the front and kept running with all his strength.
However, what makes Sheva uncomfortable is that today's Croatia is completely different from the one in the first half of the year.
They gave up their customary midfield kick.
Instead, he started to play an extremely simple and fast attack from the wing.
And, on the defensive end.
Starting from Modric's position, Croatia began to lay out an extremely deep and long zone defense.
Ukraine seemed to be struggling to push the ball through the center circle.
As for the wings?
How could Croatia, which has heavily massed its troops to attack the wing, let Ukraine in from the wing?
In the midfield position!
Kalinichenko with the ball was entangled by Modric.
Although Kalinichenko did not lose the ball with his skills at his feet, it was really difficult for Kalinichenko to hand the ball forward when facing Modric who was wrapped around him like a dog-skin plaster.
no way.
Kalinichenko could only return the ball to the backcourt after a worthless dribble.
After receiving the ball at the end of the season, Shchuk looked at his own high center forward Milevsky who raised his hands in the frontcourt to ask for the ball. Without saying a word, he sent the ball over with a big kick.
Milevski is very tall.
However, he didn't wait for him to stand up.
Behind him, Simunic, the core of Croatia's defense who was 1.95 meters tall, came over.
A strong body coupled with an incredible height.
Without any pressure, Simunic grabbed the ball before Milevski and passed it to the feet of Modric who retreated from the center to receive the ball.
Since then!
Ukraine's attack lasted less than 2 minutes and ended.
It was so short that I didn’t even see the gate of Croatia.
And the other side!
Modric received the ball and saw Eduardo running straight down the middle at the first glance.
Without further delay, Modric got ahead of Aliyev who was rushing towards him and rubbed the football hard with the outside of his instep.
Outside instep pass.
This difficult passing method, which is the most difficult to master in football, seems so casual in front of the Magic Flute.
However, it happened to be such a casual kick from Magic Flute, which sent the ball directly between the two Ukrainian midfielders.
Eduardo, who started, received a free pass from Magic Flute at the front of the penalty area.
Raising his right foot, Eduardo poked the ball out with his toe at the moment when Ukrainian center back Khacheridi raised his foot to block the penalty area.
That location!
Su Qin has firmly kept his old acquaintance Almeida behind him.
Stretch your feet!
Ankle shake!
Just after Eduardo rushed past Hacheridi, Su Qin steadily sent the ball back to Eduardo.
Perfect back-up support for the attack!
This time!
Eduardo hesitated no longer.
He raised his right foot and fired hard.
The football under his feet just shot up from the ground and rushed towards the Ukrainian team's gate.
Although Ukrainian goalkeeper Piatov had already made a save, Eduardo's shot was too close to the goal. He still failed to stop the football from passing in front of him and then slammed into the net!
"Beep!!!"
At the same time the football hits the net.
The referee on the field also blew the whistle to confirm that the goal was valid.
It’s only five minutes into the show!
Croatia took the lead in breaking the deadlock.
"pretty!!!"
"The goal went in!"
"Modric's magical through ball in the middle!"
"Three people, just three legs to pass!"
"Su Qin in the penalty area used his unstoppable fulcrum ability to give Eduardo the most gorgeous assist!"
"at last!!"
"Eduardo changed the score in one fell swoop!"
"After his leg bone was broken by Birmingham defender Martin Taylor in 2007, the 26-year-old Eduardo finally helped the Croatian national team score again!"
"Croatia's most classic team goal!"
"This is called team football!"
"The Ukrainians are clearly stunned!"
On the court!
The moment I saw the football go into the net.
Eduardo rushed towards the corner kick frantically.
One year and four months have passed.
Once hailed as Croatia's super genius, he finally scored again.
And it was still in such an important life-and-death battle in the World Cup preliminaries.
Eduardo, who was running wildly, seemed to remember all his experiences, and tears filled his eyes uncontrollably.
soon!
Su Qin, Modric, Srna, Kranica.
All the Croatian players also ran to Eduardo!
The few thousand Croatian fans in the stands were already excited at the moment the goal was scored.
Sideline!
Seeing that his tactics had achieved miraculous results so quickly.
Bilic was so excited that he knelt down on the turf and yelled with his hands pointing to the sky.
One high and one fast!
This is the feeling you want!
Su Qin just had that unsolvable fulcrum transition ability in the penalty area.
Bilic knows.
This time he made the right bet.
This guy Su Qin!
This is the key to everything in Croatia.
Not only Eduardo, but also several fast horses on his bench.
If he can score five or six goals in the first half like East Timor, maybe he can take advantage of this game to pull out Perisic and other young players to practice!
Forehead.
Isn’t it disrespectful to the Ukrainian people to think so?
In the city of Milan.
I saw Su Qin’s familiar one-two assist at the end.
The madman finally understood.
The Croatian national team directly copied his tactics!
But don't say it yet.
This guy named Bilic is really good at replicating his own tactics.
Moreover, the madman immediately recognized Almeida, who was leaning behind Su Qin with a desperate look on her face.
A week ago, wasn't this the Kiev central defender who was so excited by Su Qin?
I don’t know what the Ukrainian head coach thinks.
He knew that Su Qin had just completely destroyed his defense in the Champions League.
He was stunned and sent this person to Su Qin directly.
In the rest of the game, Croatia just had to keep kicking the ball over Su Qin's head.
Penetrating through the middle and advancing layer by layer are completely redundant.
There is a big killer like Su Qin in the cup.
This Croatia is not to mention reaching the knockout stages of the World Cup.
Even reaching the finals is not impossible!
