All-around center

In the excitement of the stadium, Suker waved his arms in celebration.

The first goal in the World Cup, with such an important significance, Su Ke was also extremely excited.

Soon, Modric, Mandzukic and others swarmed forward. They pressed on Suker and played a game of arrogance.

Klawsiewicz still shouted excitedly towards the camera:

"Su Ke! It has to be Su Ke! This is the ability of a top forward to seize opportunities. With just one shooting opportunity, Su Ke scored the goal!"

"Of course, Mandzukic's pass was also very beautiful, and Croatia's counterattack wave directly smashed Bosnia and Herzegovina's defense!"

"Let us cheer for this wonderful goal!"

Salegbu, Times Square.

At this moment, more than 100,000 fans suddenly burst into violent cheers.

Bang bang bang!

Fireworks bloomed in the sky, as if Suker had been expected to score a goal, and the entire sky was lit up.

At this moment, everyone was jumping and shouting, their faces flushed with excitement.

The first goal of the World Cup, and the leading goal.

Croatia played extremely calmly in the first 20 minutes.

But the moment they decided to fight back, the momentum became extremely violent.

In the stadium, Suker stood up from the ground and waved his arms toward the stands, causing even more intense cheers.

Surrounded by his teammates, he walked toward his own half.

Along the way, Suk Bazic, Bo Amei, Sterk and others also looked at Suk. They shook their heads slightly, full of helplessness.

Suk Bazqi was even more confused.

The guy who used to be able to jump without being taller than himself is now able to clear his body on his own head.

Suk Bazic might not be able to reach Suk's take-off height just now, even if he jumps with all his strength.

Especially in such a confrontational situation.

This conceded goal dealt a huge blow to the morale of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Although they knew that the game would be difficult to play, they were pushed flatly by the opponent without even being able to interfere, which made them extremely depressed.

"Cheer up, we still have a chance, keep playing high!"

Pjanic clapped his hands and cheered loudly.

Dzeko and others were also refreshed.

Yes!

The game has just begun, they still have a chance!

The celebration is over and the game begins again.

After Croatia scored, they did not slow down the pace again, but began to press more intensely.

Sterk kept following Suker, but Suker stopped dribbling and continued to interfere with their defense with passes.

Moreover, Suk is more active in the rib area. In the wing position, Planic will move forward from time to time.

Duimovic also began to try long-range shots, bombarding Bosnia and Herzegovina's goal again and again.

Since the first goal, Croatia began to show strong pressing ability.

boom!

As soon as Su Ke stopped the ball, Sterk approached from behind, and Dzeko retreated in front.

Su Ke made a judgment in a very short time, moved his ankle, and pretended to break through to the outside. When the two of them blocked the outside, Su Ke added a pull, used his flexible body to complete the shift of his center of gravity, and instantly jumped from both sides. He broke out from the crowd and passed the ball to Rakitic.

"Damn it!"

Sterk gritted his teeth.

He was unable to grab the ball despite attacking from both front and back, which gave him a huge headache.

Dzeko also frowned. Suker's continued performance on the wing will only put pressure on their defense.

After Su Ke passed the ball, Shi Shiran ran towards the side.

At this time, the ball is at Perisic's feet.

Perisic did not attack hard, but passed back to Rakitic.

Rakitic looked at the right side and had no chance, so he directly moved with his big foot.

Sterk instantly ran towards Su Ke, trying to put pressure on him.

He wants to apply pressure the moment Suker catches the ball.

To this end, Sterk's sprint was fast and determined.

Su Ke also saw this scene.

His body was slightly tilted towards the bottom line, pretending to sprint from the outside. When it became clear which side Sterk was heading towards, Su Ke suddenly pulled back his center of gravity and stopped the ball to his body. On the right side, start cutting directly inside.

"Oh~~~~World-class stoppage!"

Klawsiewicz couldn't help but marvel.

Su Ke's stop did not stop the ball in place. This is the simplest way.

But Su Ke stopped the ball just right on the right side, on his own offensive line, so that Su Ke could start immediately.

Sure enough, with just one stop and a start, Suker got rid of Sterk in an instant.

After getting rid of it, Su Ke did not dribble horizontally, but squeezed in from the rib area and charged towards the small penalty area.

Sterk chased after Suk.

At this time, Suker turned sideways. Bosnia and Herzegovina's central defender Panza thought that Suker was going to shoot, and immediately stretched out his foot to block it.

At this moment, a fried ball hit Suk's feet and passed directly from the bottom line.

The goalkeeper was at the left post, and Suker didn't have any shooting angle, so he swept towards the small penalty area.

"Mario!"

Suk yelled.

Mandzukic stretched out his foot and poked, and then missed.

The ball flew out of the baseline toward the right goal post.

Su Ke: ",,,,,,,"

Mandzukic: ".I.I was wrong!"

"Oh~~~ Mandzukic missed an opportunity to open up the score. The ball missed the target. This is too inappropriate."

Krausiewicz held his head with a look of regret on his face.

The Croatian fans at the scene had just raised their arms to celebrate. When they saw the ball went too far, they all held their heads.

"Adjust your condition!"

Suker also did not blame Mandzukic.

The World Cup!

Players are also under pressure, but it depends on how to adjust this pressure.

Bosnia and Herzegovina once again missed the ball.

But at this time, they were also at a loss.

Facing Croatia's continued impact, they had no idea how to play the game.

Especially Su Ke, he can't be restrained at all!

Suker's activity put too much pressure on Bosnia and Herzegovina's defense.

However, Croatia has a lot of opportunities.

Especially when they took consecutive corner kicks and set kicks, the battle for top position between Suker, Mandzukic and Perisic in the penalty area put great pressure on them.

To the extent that the high center forward Suk Bazic had to be recalled to defend.

But even so, taking advantage of a corner kick, Suker threw the ball to Perisic.

Faced with this sudden opportunity, Perisic almost subconsciously unloaded the ball from his chest and pushed with his feet.

The ball speed is not fast, but the angle of the shot is very tricky.

He went directly under the crotch of the opponent's central defender Panza and rolled into the near corner of the goal.

"Going in?"

Perisic was stunned.

Even he himself did not expect that these were all subconscious actions, but they actually scored the leading goal for Croatia.

The fans at the scene did not react.

Mainly because this shot was like a pass, weak and weak, and just rolled into the goal.

But when an Italian referee pointed to the center circle, the whole crowd went crazy.

"Goal!!! Perisic! I can't believe that this young player scored in the first game of the World Cup."

Perisic also reacted and rushed to the corner to celebrate.

Mandzukic opened his mouth.

"You must be blind!"

Snapped!

Suk slapped Mandzukic on the head and complained: "I'm better off than you!"

With Perisic's shot, Croatia took a 2-goal lead in the first half.

At this time, the game time has entered 43 minutes, and there is not much time left in the first half.

"The first half is over. In 45 minutes, Croatia currently leads Bosnia and Herzegovina 2:0. Suker and Perisic each scored a goal. Suker passed and shot. His state is so Excellent, this is also a guarantee of victory for Croatia!"

"However, we still can't relax. There is still time for the second half. Come on, boys! Win this game!"

Kraussiewicz had a satisfied smile on his face.

Croatia played very well in the first half.

In the Croatian locker room, Van Stejak patted the tactical board and said: "We played very well in the first half, but in the second half, we also need to make persistent efforts, continue to show the momentum of the first half, and break down Bosnia and Herzegovina's defense in one fell swoop!"

After Van Steyak finished laying out the tactics, he came to the side and looked at Bilic and said: "Why didn't you stop me?"

They had an agreement before. Based on Van Steyak's inability to control his desire to attack, Bilic needed to call a stop.

But this time, Bilic didn't do that.

Bilic shrugged slightly: "Because there is no need, we have already mastered the situation, and taking advantage of the lead, let the players attack more wantonly to further enhance their feelings about the World Cup. This is also a good choice."

Bilic has World Cup experience.

He knows that form comes from attacking.

It cannot be said that the defense is not good, but it is a bit depressing after all, and the adjustment efficiency is not as fast as the offense.

Make more adjustments while you're ahead.

After all, we have to play South Korea and Argentina next.

Especially Argentina, this is a strong enemy!

There is still opportunity for adjustment now, but that may not be the case in the future.

On the other side, tactical adjustments are also being made in Bosnia and Herzegovina's locker room.

"Ibric is off the field and Spasic is on. Your task is to replace Sterk and share the work of restricting Suker. At the same time, Piania will position forward and leave the job of playing the ball in the backcourt to Sterk. Turk!”

Bosnia and Herzegovina head coach makes tactical changes.

His changing point is on the back line.

They planned to play it slow and try to rely on defense to draw with Croatia, or get a lucky goal to win the game.

But now with two goals behind, something must change.

Kicking steadily won't work at all.

With Argentina in the same group, it is best to get a point against Croatia, otherwise, it will be difficult for them to qualify from the group stage.

But this time, he placed his treasure on Sterk and Boame, who cooperated tacitly.

The two have been teammates for a long time and are familiar with each other.

Only Sterk can fully unleash Boamé's speed and forward ability.

For this reason, the liberation of Sterk is also the liberation of Boamé.

Sterk is not a full-back in the simple sense. He has superb passing skills, both in passing and on the ground. Not to mention that this guy has a trump card.

Previously, I wanted to keep the tie, so I focused on defense.

But in the current situation, we must add some counterattack chips.

Soon, halftime was over.

Players from both sides returned to the court again.

Bosnia and Herzegovina made a substitution during the halftime break. Although this substitution was a bit confusing, it could be seen that Bosnia and Herzegovina was also somewhat eager to try.

"Be careful!"

Suk shouted towards the back.

He always felt that Bosnia and Herzegovina was trying to do something bad.

The reason is simple. Sterk's face almost burst into laughter.

boom!

Sterk touched the ball and passed the ball that was forced into the corner.

After passing the ball, he did not stop and continued to move up.

However, Su Ke kept following him.

Sterk didn't mind too much about this. He hid behind Su Ke, in the guy's blind spot, constantly moving back and forth to pull out the catching point.

And once he caught the ball, he had no intention of sticking to the ball. He just simply passed the ball with one kick.

But in terms of effect, it is really much smoother than when Pjanic took the lead.

"You have good passing and receiving skills!"

Suk said in surprise.

Sterk rolled his eyes: "I was good at passing the ball before, right?"

Suk blinked.

When playing for Mostar Zlinjski, Sterk rarely had the opportunity to play, and his style was not fully demonstrated. Moreover, Van Steyak asked him to set up the side to attract firepower, just to use it as a bait. Don't give him any ball rights at all.

Therefore, even after being a teammate for a year, Su Ke had no idea what Sterk's style was like.

Even in the daily training ground, Sterk plays straight up and down, far from being as comfortable as he is now.

Now Suker understands that Sterk is an offensive full-back.

He has good organizational skills, and he can pass and receive the ball cleanly. Not only can he use his movement to open up space to meet his teammates, but he can also use a pass to break up Croatia's high press.

However, Sterk rarely penetrates forward.

Generally, attacking full-backs will move forward frequently.

For example, like Srna, he has a great time passing the ball.

But Sterk played very steadily.

boom!

Sterk passed another kick to Pjanic in front.

Su Ke followed up subconsciously.

At this time, Sterk actually started to advance diagonally towards the midfield line.

"pass it to me!"

Sterk shouted while running, Pjanic moved his foot, and the ball immediately passed between Suker and Modric.

Sterk caught the ball and strode forward. After attracting the defensive force, the guy suddenly roared.

"Boame!"

After shouting, Sterk suddenly rubbed his feet.

A scene that shocked Suk appeared.

The ball actually showed a huge arc on the ground, passed between the two central defenders, bypassed them, and appeared accurately in front of Boamé's forward.

"I wipe it?"

Suk opened his mouth wide.

Isn’t this his own rainbow pass?

Modric was also shocked.

Sterk couldn't wait to turn his head and look over, just in time to see the expressions of Suk and Modric, and he felt extremely satisfied.

At the same time, Boamé had rushed into the penalty area and pretended to shoot. At the same time, he dunked his foot and made an emergency cross.

The ball was pushed to the back point.

Dzeko hit the horse and shot suddenly!

Uh-huh!

The ball hit the net!

"Oh~~~~~Goal!!!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful! So wonderful! Sterk, rainbow pass!! It tore apart Croatia's defense. This pass is simply great!"

"Of course the best thing is, in front of Suker, he used his special skills to score a goal."

In the 61st minute, Bosnia and Herzegovina got a goal back with Dzeko's goal.

Croatia 2:1 Bosnia and Herzegovina!

Bosnia and Herzegovina players celebrating.

Suk scratched his head; "No, when did he learn it?"

He remembered that when he was at Mostar Zlinjski, the rainbow pass was not particularly stable.

So the number of kicks is very small and there are not that many tricks.

Unexpectedly, Stark actually stole the teacher.

Then there is Boame.

This guy also has great movement and is a perfect fit for this rainbow pass.

Modric came over.

"Did you practice rainbow passing with Boamé?"

Su Ke nodded; "I have practiced it, but at that time I asked him to pick up the ball. I never thought about passing the ball to him!"

"The two of them have obviously practiced before, and they have a very tacit cooperation." Modric shook his head: "What a show of force!"

"fart!"

Su Ke grinned and shouted; "When defending, move inwards. This kind of pass requires defensive spacing. As long as you don't give him this spacing, he can't do anything!"

I am the original!

He knows the advantages of this pass!

He is also aware of the shortcomings.

After listening to Suker's reminder, Croatia's defensive position immediately began to move inwards.

Seeing this scene, Sterk couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, it can only be used once.

Croatia's reaction was quick.

Luckily, they scored!

However, this goal also angered Croatia, and the subsequent offense became extremely fierce.

Su Ke frequently passed rainbow passes with a fighting spirit.

Short and long passes, Su Ke's 'original' footwork is much better than Sterk's half-assed one.

Under this fierce attack, Mandzukic forced the opponent to foul in the penalty area during a push.

Croatia was awarded a penalty kick.

"Oh my God! This is really unfortunate news. We just recovered a goal and Croatia got a penalty kick."

Bosnia and Herzegovina commentator Basodachi said with a headache on his face.

"Here you go!" Mandzukic threw the ball to Suker: "You can't mention that poke ball I made in the first half again."

Suk waved his hand; "Look what you said, I am that kind of person."

After saying that, Su Ke placed the ball at the penalty spot and immediately let out a long breath.

At this moment, countless eyes focused on Suk.

The Croatian fans clasped their hands, praying for Suker to score.

Bosnia and Herzegovina fans cursed Suker time and time again for not being able to score.

Under such circumstances, along with the whistle, Su Ke started decisively.

boom!

Su Ke took a free throw with his left foot and kicked it towards the lower right corner.

The Bosnia and Herzegovina goalkeeper failed to make the correct judgment and the ball hit the net.

In the 73rd minute, Croatia scored another goal.

Suker scored twice.

Croatia leads Bosnia and Herzegovina 3:1.

At 75 minutes, Croatia made a substitution.

Suker and Duimovic exited.

Joel Luka and Simic come on.

This meant that Croatia switched from offense to defense, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was two goals behind, was unable to fight against Croatia's steel defense.

At 90+3 minutes, the whistle sounded at the end of the game.

Croatia defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 3:1, and they won their first victory in the World Cup.
