Chapter 332
"The battle between the Checkered Army and the Kangaroos is about to begin!"
"The entrance ceremony is over!"
"Let me introduce you to the starting players of both teams!"
"Red and white checkered jerseys, checkered army, Croatia!"
"Starting goalkeeper: Pledikosa!"
"Defenders: Robert Kovac on the left, Josip Simunic, Dario Simic, Igor Tudor in the middle, Dario Srna on the right!"
"Single defensive midfielder: Marko Babic!"
"Three midfielders: Luka Modric, Nick Kovac, Jurica Vranjes!"
"Single striker: Su Fei!"
"Croatia still uses their traditional 5-1-3-1 formation. They are also the only team in this World Cup that insists on a five-back defensive formation."
"It is worth mentioning!"
"Modric, who came on as a substitute in the last game and performed well and provided assists, will start in this game!"
".... "" On the other hand, yellow jersey, Kangaroo Legion, Australia! "" The goalkeeper: Mark Schwa! " "Erko Bresano!" The defense of the two sides and the middle road! "" Obviously! "" This is Su Fei who performed well for the game! The Veltins Arena, which can accommodate 61,500 spectators, was packed with fans of the two teams, divided equally.
The sky above the stadium was cloudless, and the summer was at its head. Many fans began to sweat before the game started.
But the scorching heat could not stop the enthusiasm of the fans.
Waving the national flag, cheering loudly!
..........................................
Beep!
Nick Kovac won the coin toss again, Croatia has the ball.
Su Fei kicked the ball.
Decisively passed it back to Nick Kovac behind him for organization.
Compared with the match against Brazil.
When facing Australia, the Croatian men's football team no longer chose a purely retreating defensive formation.
Modric and Jurica Vranjes quickly moved to the side to open up the team's offensive formation space.
The ball was passed to Modric's feet on the left.
Modric dribbled the ball, faced with Mark Viduka's pressing, touched the ball quickly with a small step frequency, and suddenly pulled the ball to change direction.
Turned from the side to the rib area, dribbled the ball diagonally, and successfully passed Mark Viduka.
Started to advance vertically along the rib area!
"Modric!"
"Excellent start!"
"Changed to pass Viduka!"
"Many fans here may not know that Mark Viduka and Modric are relatives!"
"Mark Viduka was born in Croatia when he was a child, and then immigrated to Australia. He is Modric's cousin!"
"Viduka was elected the top scorer of the Scottish Premier League with 25 goals in the 1999-2000 season. He is currently the top scorer of Middlesbrough in the Premier League. However, due to injury this season, he missed the Middlesbrough and Manchester City games twice."
"Tsk tsk, cousins' World Cup showdown!"
"I can only say that in football, genes are also a kind of talent!"
-【Really? Viduka is as strong as a bull, almost 1.9 meters tall, is he related to Modric? 】
-[Brother Tao can't lie to you. I can only say that these cousins are not close enough, so they don't look alike. For example, I am tall and handsome, and my cousin is 150 cm tall and 150 catties, a small square tank...】
-[Ahem, brother, can you give me your cousin's contact information? 】
-[Damn, brother, you like this? 】
......
On the court, Mark Viduka turned around and chased Modric.
But the difference in size also means a difference in speed. Viduka, who is 1.88 meters tall, can only watch his cousin dribbling the ball deep into his own hinterland.
However.
Modric rushed out of the center circle with the ball.
He was soon surrounded by Australian players!Like Su Fei, Modric was also their key target for restriction today.
Harry Sivir and Marco Bresciano, one in front and one behind, double-teaming!
Modric.
Subconsciously looking for Su Fei on the court.
Shocked to find.
Su Fei's situation at this time was even worse than his own!
Not only was Vincenzo Grella close to him, but there was also Wilkshire blocking the passing route between him and Su Fei.
Australia's double defensive midfielders.
They were all staring at Su Fei who was advancing without the ball in the middle!
Helpless.
Modric could only pass the ball back to Marco Babic behind him.
Marco Babic then passed the ball to Nick Kovacs to reorganize Croatia's first attack.
"Just as I said before the game."
"Croatia's targeted defense today is really strong!"
"The main defense is Croatia's cross tactics."
"Su Fei without the ball."
"He was double-marked by Australia."
"If he gets the ball, I can't imagine..."
In the live broadcast room of Zhuangdianertai, Wang Tao frowned unconsciously.
In the next 10 minutes.
Croatia was frequently blocked and had to make offensive scenes again and again.
In the last game against Brazil.
Croatia did not dare to let go of the attack.
In this game.
Croatia was determined to attack and was particularly patient, but it was slow to get the ball to the Australian penalty area.
............................................
With another attempt by Jurica Vranješ to pass the ball from the wing being intercepted.
On the sidelines.
Australian coach Guus Hiddink unconsciously crossed his hands on his chest.
His own pre-match tactical preparation.
Sure enough, there was no problem.
3:2 victory over Brazil does not mean Croatia is strong as a whole. At present, the threat brought by Croatia's offense.
It is even worse than Japan, which was very resilient in the last game.
That Su Fei.
After running back and forth in the middle for more than 10 minutes, he only touched the ball twice, and both were quick returns.
The two midfielders, Grella and Wilkshire, who I specifically instructed before the game, executed the defensive tactics very well.
The two-man cooperation perfectly cut off the connection between Su Fei and his teammates.
On the other side.
There was certainly a strong sense of worry on the Croatian bench.
After thinking for a moment, Kranjcar gave instructions to the two full-backs on the field to actively move forward.
"Go forward boldly!"
"The team needs offensive personnel."
"Try to participate in the offense as much as possible!"
After all, the five defenders put too many players into defense. In this situation, it is difficult to break the deadlock with only three midfielders.
But just as Kranjcar was giving orders to the two full-backs.
The entire Veltins Arena suddenly erupted with the passionate cheers of Croatian fans!
Kranjcar looked intently.
Su Fei!
He was holding the ball and pulling it from the rib area to the right side!
And behind him.
It was Bresciano who fell to the ground!
Kranjcar's face was full of question marks.
Who the hell can tell me what happened just now? !
