All-around center

Once again, the Maximir Stadium was packed with fans.

There is a huge slogan on the east side of the stands.

"Let'go!" World cup! 2014! 》

Flags were flying in the stands, and a large group of shirtless fans were holding each other's shoulders and chanting loudly.

"Onward! Croatia!"

"Onward! Croatia!"

"No one can defeat us!"

"Here's Maximil! We'll make everyone fear you!"

From a distance, it looks like a huge beating wall.

This is the most popular stand. Standing in this stand means that you have to shout for the whole audience.

Two-time European Cup champion!

Third place in the World Cup!

Successive honors have inspired the confidence of Croatian fans. They are no longer the second-tier European team or a dark horse team.

Looking at the whole of Europe, they are also well-known Eastern European cavalry!

They are the top team in Europe!

With this huge confidence, they are full of expectations for any game.

Especially the national team's games, they won't want to miss any of them.

Players from both sides warm up on the court.

The Belgian players can feel the passion surging in this stadium.

In fact, the Belgian players were extremely helpless.

It's okay to be assigned to Group A. They have to play Croatia in the first game. It can be said that this puts too much pressure on them.

This is the European Cup champion!

It has only been more than two months since the European Cup ended, but Croatia still maintains its fighting strength and level during the European Cup, and its morale is also extremely high.

It can be said that Croatia is the most difficult to play during this period.

But there is no other way. No matter how difficult it is, they must grit their teeth and persevere.

Suker turned to look at the Belgian half.

Belgium, the famous 'European Red Devil', was an elite team in its heyday.

But this team is also one of Europe's famous problem teams.

Their problem is simple, internal strife!

Of course, every team will have various problems, which will lead to conflicts.

The only difference in Belgium is that they are based on the conflict between the Flemish and Walloon peoples with completely different languages ​​and cultures.

These are two ethnic groups with different language systems.

One is French and the other is Dutch!

For this reason, there will also be some strange scenes in the Belgian national team, that is, players from one country are communicating, one speaks French and the other speaks Dutch. They cannot communicate and require the intervention of a translator.

The conflict between these two ethnic groups has been going on for a long time.

For example, coach Thies, who created brilliant achievements in the 1980s, said: "Never call a Walloon man into the national team, no matter how good he is!" ’.

From this, you can get a glimpse of the leopard 1

Even now, this is still the case.

Warm-up returns to warm-up, and when the warm-up is over, Belgium will be divided into two groups, ignoring each other.

In the original time and space, Belgium's golden generation had a number of luxury stars such as Hazard, De Bruyne, Lukaku, Courtois, etc., and even reached the top of the FIFA rankings.

But on the World Cup stage, they slapped FIFA in the face.

The national team, ranked No. 1 in the world by FIFA, had a stumbling performance in the World Cup. In the end, it was aggrieved and embarrassing to lose.

It can be said that Belgium has the best players, but it cannot resolve the long-standing conflicts within the team.

Even now, this contradiction still exists.

The warm-up session was over, and players from both sides returned to the locker room to prepare for final adjustments.

The voice of commentator Krausiewicz appeared on the television, and his high voice added an exciting color to the game.

"This is the scene of the 2014 World Cup European qualifiers. I still remember that two months ago, we cheered high in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, to celebrate our second European Cup championship. In the blink of an eye, two months have passed and we have started We have embarked on a new journey, this time, we will aim at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil!”

“Have a great weekend guys, I’m your old friend Kraussiewicz and it’s my pleasure to be here to give you a commentary on the event.”

"After the Croatian boys experienced the European Cup, their morale and fighting spirit must be even higher. I believe they can play a wonderful game!"

"Of course, we cannot underestimate our opponents. Belgium, known as the Red Devils of Europe, appeared on the European stage with a new attitude this year, but unfortunately, they met us!"

Along with Krausiewicz's teasing, the fans in front of the TV couldn't help laughing.

The camera shifted again, showing the player tunnel.

Players from both sides have already lined up.

Krausiewicz introduced the current situation and various data of the Croatian players one by one. He did detailed homework, so he was very handy.

The expressions of the Croatian players are relatively relaxed. This is the first round of the qualifying match, but they are also seasoned veterans, so they will not be too nervous here.

Soon, the referee led the players from both sides into the stadium.

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:

Croatia (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Subasic.

Defenders: Srna, Vida, Duimovic, Strinic.

Midfielders: Vukojevic, Rakitic, Modric.

Forwards: Radosevic, Mandzukic, Suker.

Belgium (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Courtois.

Defenders: Gillet, Vermaelen, Kompany, Vertonghen.

Midfielders: Defour, Witsel, Mertens, Hazard.

Forwards: Benteke, Dembele.

"In Croatia, Dujmovic plays as a central defender in the back line. This is a new change this season. This may also be an attempt by Besic. We wish Tommy to have an excellent performance."

"Perisic did not appear in the starting lineup, but to be honest, his state has been ups and downs since the European Cup, and he has not played too well in the club. He really needs some adjustments!"

During Klausevich's introduction, the captains of both sides exchanged team flags and guessed the side.

Belgium took the lead in getting the kick-off right.

Croatia chose the right half.

Suker was still jumping and warming up actively to activate his physical condition.

While he was warming up, a burning look from the Belgian bench was staring at Suker.

A young man with a pale and pink face, with his blond hair standing up, looked at Suker on the court with burning eyes.

In his mind was that wonderful Champions League game!

The pass from Suker made him amazing.

He is Kevin De Bruyne.

When he was in Genk, he first became famous in the Champions League. Based on his wonderful low arc, many people called him "Suker in the midfield".

Unlike others, you must be your own concept.

De Bruyne enjoys this title because Suker has always been his idol.

Suker's wonderful rainbow pass injected a desire for football into the young De Bruyne.

I don't know how many years have passed, De Bruyne can no longer remember it.

But he finally stood in front of Suker!

The only regret is that he couldn't start!

Perhaps because of his burning gaze, Suker turned his head slightly and just saw De Bruyne on the bench.

Suker raised his eyebrows slightly, then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded gently to De Bruyne.

Boom!

De Bruyne's mind was blank!

Was Suker greeting him just now?

Just when De Bruyne wanted to confirm again or give a response, Suker had turned his head and looked at the court.

In the court, Suker took a breath slightly.

Belgium's potential is unquestionable. If there is no infighting and cooperation, it must be a super team that can create a generation of myths!

A group that brings together many outstanding players such as Hazard and De Bruyne, I can't imagine how strong Belgium will be if they are united!

Unfortunately, Belgium's golden generation was ruined by infighting.

Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

The cheers suddenly rose, and the Belgian players kicked off first.

After the kick-off, Croatia immediately rushed forward.

"They are coming! Stay alert!"

Witsel shouted loudly, reminding the players to stay alert.

Croatia's forward pressing speed was very fast and extremely fierce.

Hazard saw this situation and moved slightly towards the middle, trying to meet his teammates.

But as soon as he ran to the middle, he was entangled by Vukojevic.

Hazard frowned and returned to the side again, pulling away from the ball.

Vukojevic did not continue to follow up, but stood in his position.

On the other side, Croatia's forward pressing was extremely fierce.

As a super star in the team, Suker did not slack off at all and led the charge.

With Suker's rush, who else dared to stop?

"Disrupted!"

Mandzukic touched the ball. Although he failed to steal or intercept, he also disrupted Belgium's passing rhythm.

Vertonghen immediately rushed to the ball, wanting to follow up and protect it.

But someone rushed faster than him.

Radosevic rushed all the way, rushed to the ball before Vertonghen, and shot with his right foot.

The ball was suppressed!

The ball flew close to the ground towards the Belgian goal, and Courtois made a fierce save.

Fortunately, the ball passed the goal post and flew out of the bottom line, but the angle was a little off!

"Oh~~ A shot at the start! A shot from Radosevic, the angle was a little off!"

"Radosevic was called up to the national team during the European Cup, but he has always been on the bench. Born in 1994, he plays for Naples in Serie A, and in this game, he played very actively!"

Seeing that the ball failed to hit the goal frame, Radosevic showed a trace of regret, and he turned his head to look at Suker.

Suker gave him a thumbs up, and the little guy grinned happily.

The players born after 1990 in the Croatian national team are all fans of Suker.

Suker now has a lot of fans in the national team.

On the sidelines, Besic smiled.

"Radošević played very well!"

Young people have their own way of playing football. The previous opportunity was a safer choice, but shooting was also possible.

Although he failed to hit the goal frame, it also boosted morale.

"Young man, you are very fast and have high morale, but you need to calm down!"

"Don't worry, Luka, Rakitic and Suker will calm him down!"

During the game, the Croatian players immediately retreated, and no one stayed in the frontcourt. This is the discipline of the team.

After Belgium kicked off again, Croatia rushed forward again.

This time, Belgium learned a lesson and played the ball as quickly as possible, not daring to continue to drop the ball in the backcourt.

The ball passed smoothly to Hazard's feet.

Hazard turned his back, and Vukojevic immediately withstood the opponent.

"Don't make a move!"

Rakitic yelled from afar.

Vukojevic had no intention of taking action, so he pushed against Hazard, constantly putting pressure on him, and kept following the opponent.

Hazard can only move laterally, and Vukojevic will block his forward position every time he makes an emergency stop.

Seeing that he was about to be surrounded, Hazard could only pass back.

“The technology is really good!”

Vansteyak nodded slightly.

Before the game, they studied Hazard. Although he is a young player, his dribbling and mentality are excellent.

The most important thing is not to concede the ball!

Just like this time, the dribbling is reasonable and the ball is also reasonable.

Although he failed to advance forward, he distributed the ball in time.

This also blocked Croatia's path forward. After all, Croatia's defense is not a piece of cake today.

Vidal and Duimovic have been eyeing him, and as long as Hazard passes the ball, they will take action.

Keep an eye on each one, cooperate with the suddenly shrinking defense line, instantly make dumplings of the opponent, and then launch a counterattack.

Unfortunately, Belgium is not fooled!

Five minutes of game time passed, and Belgium soon discovered that the midfield was suppressed.

Their possession time was short and their passing was not easy.

On the other hand, Croatia will use high pressure to gain the ball. After gaining the ball, Croatia will control the rhythm with the midfielder as the core.

The only good news is that Suk has not yet exerted his strength and is obviously still testing.

Modric stepped on the ball, pulled the ball and turned around.

The attack on the right is still a bit too simple, and Belgium's defense cannot be underestimated.

Modric took a few steps towards the left and immediately transferred the ball.

"Suke!"

Su Ke catches the ball on the wing,

As soon as Suker stopped the ball, the entire Belgian lineup moved quickly to the left visibly to the naked eye, with a look of solemnity on everyone's face.

Su Ke also saw this scene. He didn't act recklessly, but passed the ball back lightly.

Modric once again pushed the ball forward to Rakitic.

After Rakitic received the ball sideways, he immediately turned to face the attacker.

Before the opponent's defense had completely shifted, Rakitic suddenly started dribbling.

"Rakitic starts to attack the defense!"

Throughout the European Cup, Rakitic's performance has been amazing.

Especially in terms of dribbling breakthrough data, he is higher than Su Ke.

It's not that Suker's dribbling is inferior to Rakitic.

It's that Suker attracted too much defensive power and was not suitable for too much sticky ball.

Of course, Su Ke's success rate for dribbling breakthroughs is still higher.

All these show that once Su Ke dribbles, it is purposeful and he is rushing to score goals.

Rakitic dribbles diagonally, drawing the defensive force towards the right again.

Then suddenly there was an emergency stop and an inverted triangle pass.

Modric appeared in the middle and made a V-shaped transfer to the ball.

The ball immediately went towards the left rib area.

The next second, Suker rushed out from the outside of Belgian right back Gillet, met the ball and arced towards the goal.

The ball was a half-high ball that just went around Vermaelen.

Mandzukic sprinted forward desperately, dived to the top, and missed!

"You're slow again!"

Suk shouted angrily.

Mandzukic stood up awkwardly. He really couldn't keep up with Suker's rhythm.

He couldn't control that moment!

If you run too fast, you are offside!

If you run too slowly, you won’t be able to catch up!

"Mario is used to playing as a fulcrum and has forgotten how to push forward as a striker!"

Vansteyak shook his head.

Besic also sighed; "There is no way! With Suker in the national team, he can't play like that. I thought he could be released in the club, but after Ronaldo's transfer, he played the same way in the club as in the national team. "

The ball was cleared by Vertonghen.

Vukojevic took off, looked back at the moon, and tipped the ball to Vida behind him.

Vader immediately gave it to Srna.

Srna was not in a hurry to play the ball. Faced with the pressing pressure of Hazard and Dembele, he actually pulled the ball horizontally and got through between the two to complete the breakthrough.

"Oh~~Serna has started to show off his skills!"

After completing the breakthrough, Srna did not continue to pass the ball forward.

Instead, he waited for Modric to return to his position and passed the ball over.

"Steady! Steady!"

Srna pressed his hands down to signal his teammates to stay calm.

At this time, the time had entered 14 minutes. Su Ke moved his body and felt that he could slowly apply pressure.

"Luca!"

Su Ke dropped back to catch the ball.

Seeing Suk's request, Modric immediately passed it over.

Suker was about to receive the ball, and Belgium immediately sent three people to surround Suker.

Suker observed this scene in advance. He turned his back and gently picked up the ball with his toes, and directly picked the ball to Rakitic behind him.

After completing the pick, Suker immediately turned around and rushed towards the middle along the diagonal line.

Seeing Suker's running position, Rakitic did not take credit, and gently stopped in the direction of Suker's running in front of him.

Suker grabbed the ball and instantly appeared on the penalty area line.

"Danger!!!"

The Belgian commentator was shocked.

The next second, Suker shot sideways.

His body was clearly facing the right, but Suker bent his waist and ankles and hit a reverse angle!

Courtois turned his head to look at the left goal post and was stunned.

What the hell is this monster!

How did this reverse angle come out?

Ding!

But his luck was a little worse, and the ball rubbed the door frame and flew out of the bottom line.

"Oh~~~~" Klausevich was also stunned.

"Suker's shot from the opposite corner was unexpected, but he was too focused on the angle and failed to score a goal!"

"But Suker made the first shot of the game, and the quality was still very high!"
