Chapter 30 Mandzukic's Shocking Blow

As a substitute player for the Croatian team, my primary task is to cheer for my teammates who are fighting on the court.The head coach Bilic is very popular. The Croatian team is full of stars, but unlike the Dutch or French teams, there are often internal strife.Croatians know how to be grateful, because this country has always been full of disasters. The war split the original multi-ethnic country. When the powder kegs of the Balkans will be ignited again, no one knows.Since the independence of Croatia, all Croats in this country have been very united. They actively participated in economic construction, lived hard, and worked hard to build a good economic foundation and military before the war came again. defense force.Over the past ten years, the Croats have done all this. Today's Croatia is already the richest and most developed region in the former Yugoslavia.All of this comes from unity...

That's right, under the leadership of Bilic, our Croatian national team is also very united!

As a substitute, even if I am guarding the drinking fountain, I will dedicate the loudest shout to my teammates!
"Come on, Modric! Come on, Mandzukic! Captain Srna, come on, come on!"

The Croatian superstars are on the pitch!

Finally, the striker, Mandzukic!

What's more, our coach Bilic just asked me to be his substitute...

……

Our opponent is the Irish team, a muscular team wearing green jerseys.They no longer have the mighty power of Keane and Keane in the past, and now only Keane is in the midfield alone, and Chelsea winger Duff is attacking from the wing.Others are just some muscular guys from small teams, Yu Yong is just fine.

We can definitely win!

The game is on!

This is my first experience of the European Cup!

Although not able to play, it is extremely rare to sit on the sidelines and watch these stars play!By my side, there are stars like Eduardo and Planic cheering off the court together!
The Croatian team is advancing fast!With my good roommate Modric as the dispatcher, our midfield control ability is far beyond Ireland by several grades!They have Keane in the midfield, but Keane is old, and his technical strength is not as good as Modric. He relies on the combination of technology and strength, especially his domineering, to seize control of the midfield. !However, with the passage of time, he in his 30s is no longer what he used to be!Flying on the field at this moment are young players like Modric and Rakitic!
The Croatian team's aggressive attack at the beginning frightened the Irish!In their panic, they barely knocked Modric's shot out of bounds!corner kick!We won a corner kick in just one minute!
Although our captain Srna is only a full-back, his footwork is top-notch!Almost all of our set-pieces are done by him!His free kick rate is high, and his corner kicks are also very good!This time, however, the Irishman disrupted our corner kick and the ball was kicked back to Srna's side.

As long as the ball is at our feet, we will never give up attacking!

The ball drew a beautiful arc and came to the goal!
Irishman!Come and steal our header if you have the ability!We are not afraid!We have Fengba!His name is Mandzukic!
