Chapter 46 Jedi Strikes Back!Mandzukic's perseverance!

The second half started with Pirlo kicking off.He passed the ball to Motta, and after Motta received the ball, he gave it to Cassano.Cassano moved forward with the ball, his speed was very fast, and he reached the edge of the penalty area in a few seconds!
Captain Srna closely followed Cassano!His speed is not at a disadvantage. Although the captain is not young, he has always maintained a considerable amount of training. His explosive power, physical fitness, and speed are still top-notch!Cassano was so entangled by Srna that he had no choice but to buckle back, protect the ball with his body, and pass it back to Pirlo.

Pirlo left foot long pass!The ball went to... the restricted area!
For this ball, Pirlo would choose such a simple and rude way to attack? !

Motta rushed into the penalty area!Joel Luka hurriedly followed him, sticking close to him!Joel Luka's height has an advantage over Motta, so he probably won't be able to get a header from Motta.

The two jumped high!Motta rushed too early and had already lost the advantage of the run-up, but the height advantage of Joel Luka would not disappear. He jumped up and easily headed the ball.

But the Italian team got the ball pushed out by Joel Luka!The one who got the ball...was Balotelli!

Bashen broke through savagely!His football style is unreasonable. Just relying on his excellent physical fitness and skillful skills, he can single-handedly set foot on the enemy camp with one against three.Although Joel Luka has an advantage over Bashen in terms of height, his strength and physical fitness cannot compare with Bashen. As a result, he was knocked away by Bashen!
Balotelli knocked away Joel Luka, and in front of him was goalkeeper Pletikosa!I saw him rushing forward, waving his feet and preparing to shoot...

"what!……"

I can't take it anymore!Facing the ravages of the goal like this, the fear of almost scoring a goal made me unable to help closing my eyes——

At this moment, the Croatian fans suddenly let out a huge exclamation!Next, another huge applause!
I opened my eyes in surprise—oh my God!The ball didn't go in!Pletikosa actually saved Bashen's close-range shot!No!The playback display on the big screen of the stadium is using your face!Pletikosa blocked Bashen's powerful shot with his face!His nose was bleeding from it too!
Brave Preticosa!Great Preticosa!
Pletikosa's face defense boosted the morale of our team!Joel Luka kicked the ball with a big foot, and the ball flew high and far!The ball passed directly through the midfield and flew towards the Italian defense!At this moment, because the whole Italian team is attacking, the defense line is relatively forward!Mandzukic's chance has come!

Barzagli retreated back quickly, he wanted to compete with Mandzukic for the header!However, Mandzukic's jumping and staying in the air are something that Barzagli does not have!He jumped high and grabbed this first point!He headed the ball to another striker Jelavic, and Jelavic got the chance to reverse offside!
Jelavitch!This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!All the Croatian fans are shouting!They are all looking forward to Jelavic scoring a goal and equalizing the score as soon as possible!
Jelavic's speed is not fast, but he is already running as hard as he can!Bonucci, Barzagli, and Chiellini were all left behind!In front of Jelavic, there is only the last barrier left - Alostiff's master - Buffon!
Buffon rushed out!His attack will leave a lot of space for Jelavic to shoot!How will Jelavic perform? !
Shoot!as expected!The ball flew towards the empty goal!Will the Croatian team be able to draw?
ah!Buffon's attack turned out to be just a fake move!He ran back immediately!He leaped up and swiped the ball over the goal crossbar with his fingertips!
However, Buffon fell heavily into the net!
The whole audience exclaimed!Buffon!Is Buffon injured?
If this great opponent is injured, even if it is a victory, we will not win by force!
What's more, he is...

Master of Alostive!
His great save saved the Italian team and made our mood sink once again!
Facing Italy, how difficult it is to fight back!

And this ball is even a one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper!It's a pity that Jelavic was completely defeated in this heads-up match!

……

The referee made a gesture for the medical team to enter the field!The Italian team doctor came in with a stretcher!Is Buffon really injured? !
He stood up slowly... The medical team put the stretcher aside, and the team doctors were busy checking his condition.After a while, the team doctor sprayed mist on his knees, patted his head, and directed the medical staff to carry the stretcher back.

It seems that there is no big problem.I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

People who play football will have a moral principle on the football field.For example, if one side kicks the ball out of bounds after someone is injured, the other side should throw the ball back to the original side out of gentlemanly manner.For the opponents competing on the football field, we will try our best to win in terms of skills and tactics. However, we will never intentionally hurt others in order to win, nor will we hope that the main or core players of the opponent will be injured out of a dark psychology. Take advantage of the fisherman.Although our Croatian team is one goal behind now, if Buffon is injured and leaves the field, even if we win this game, it will not be a complete Italian team.What's more...Buffon is the master of Alostiff, and I don't want him...to end up injured and leave the field...

Now that Buffon has returned with full blood after treatment, I am very happy in my heart.Facing a great star like him, defeating him upright is our right way!

The game continues!Our corner!Jelavic's shot, although we didn't win a goal for us, at least he won a corner kick for us!At this time, every corner kick, every free kick, every set kick opportunity is a good opportunity for us to score!
Modric corner cross!

Mandzukic has scored again!He beat Motta, Barzagli and Chiellini to win the header!It's a pity that due to being surrounded by many people, his header has no power, and Buffon easily gets it!However, in the second half, Mandzukic's state is getting better and better!This is a good thing!
Buffon kicked out!His ball went to the right, our left, Perisic and Strinic!Perisic and Motta fight for the top!For the first time, two men with a height of 1.8 meters 1.8 faced each other for a header!Since Perisic is a wide player, he is far away from the golden zone of the middle lane, so he has a height of [-] meters [-], but it has no effect. The main thing is his speed advantage!But this time, because Buffon's big kick was relatively biased, Perisic got the chance to compete for the header for the first time!
And, he succeeded!
Perisic gets the header!He headed the ball to Strinic behind him!Under the protection of Perisic, Strinic is unguarded!He flipped the ball lightly, made a short run-up, and made a cross with his left foot!
Incredible!Chiellini made a mistake!He misjudged the height of Strinic's pass, jumped up recklessly to fight for the top, but failed to reach the ball!

Behind him is Mandzukic!
Mandzukic shovels the ball without stopping the ball!
This ball is only two meters away from the goal!

Even Buffon can no longer stop it!
volley!Break the net!
Nice goal by Mandzukic!He equalized for us!
This European Cup!Mandzukic's third goal!
Great shooter!Two superstars with three goals!
The person who became his background is Buffon, the number one goalkeeper in the world, Buffon!

Mandzukic!Painstakingly pay off!
He must pull me and Modric to practice sideways crosses to grab points. Just this morning, I still vividly remember it!
And this ball is a goal scored by a cross from the wing!

Everything is predestined!God will not disappoint those who work hard!
Our Jedi counterattack finally bears fruit!

Can we go any further? !

Can we beat Italy and beat the world champions!
I want to play more and more!
