All-around center

"left!!"

"No! It's the right!"

"Up, up, up! I'll take care of you!"

Vader and Lovren had a heated exchange, and the two almost roared.

In the match, facing Su Ke's impact, their mentality was almost gone.

This is not at the same level as the forwards in their respective leagues. Under that kind of impact, as long as they relax in the slightest, Su Ke can complete the shooting action.

"I'm going!"

Lovren rushed forward immediately.

Just when Vader was about to speak, he saw Suk sinking his shoulders, but did not change his direction, but gently moved towards Lovren's crotch, passing through the crotch.

"Leaking again?!"

Vader's mentality was about to explode.

At this time, Su Ke caught up with the ball and scored again with a cool lob.

The entire substitute team's defense was overwhelmed.

Lovren and Vida were lying on the ground, and substitute goalkeeper Pletikosa was also squatting on the ground, shaking his head helplessly.

"You were too aggressive in grabbing that ball!"

"If I don't take the lead, Suker will shoot!"

"Let the midfielder limit it!"

After Vader said this, the two of them pointed their finger at each other.

"Where's the midfielder? Where's the defensive midfielder? Don't you know how to retreat after pushing forward?"

The debate among the substitutes was heated.

Su Ke and others watched this scene with smiles.

They don't think this is a bad thing, it's a manifestation of the running-in of thoughts and cooperation. In fierce competitions, the progress of this running-in will be accelerated.

The more pressure Suk exerts, the faster they grind together.

Vida has just entered the national team, and his cooperation with Lovren is not particularly tacit, so he needs to put more pressure on him.

The substitute defenders argued fiercely, constantly expressing their thoughts during the quarrel.

Arguing is just a process, but they are indeed expressing their opinions, so it can be regarded as effective communication.

On the other hand, in the main defense, Simunic and Kovac looked at the opposite side with envy.

Unconsciously, they also turned from young generals to veterans.

Simunic is 33 years old this year, and Kovac is also 35 years old.

It can be said that they can no longer hold on until the 2014 World Cup.

This European Cup is their last battlefield.

The two have decided to retire from the national team after the European Cup.

Despite all the reluctance, there are still many things that have not been completed, and they have not yet won the Hercules Cup with the team.

But time is ruthless, and for the first time they realized that the biggest enemy in their careers is time.

In the past, they only had to be wary of injuries, but now faced with a deteriorating state, all they can do is try to keep themselves in a stable state.

But even so, they felt like they could no longer hold on.

"Hey, let's stop arguing." Vida looked at Lovren and said; "Shall we ask Simunic and Kovac for advice?"

In response, Lovren simply rolled his eyes.

"Do you think the national team is too simple? Why should they teach you? So far, we are all competitors, and this is their last European Cup. It is impossible for them to make room for us, let alone teach us. "

It’s not like Lovren hasn’t tried to communicate before.

But it turns out that not everyone is a guy like Davo Suker who is willing to teach them their experience selflessly.

Lovren and Vader can only explore on their own.

From the sidelines, Besic watched the performance on the court and kept writing in his notebook.

Vansteyak turned to look over.

Besic's notes are neat and his handwriting is very clean.

This is exactly the same as his concise and decisive attitude in life and work.

Under the names of the two people, their respective characteristics and shortcomings are written, and there are various possibilities in the question marks.

These all need to be confirmed.

Van Steyak has been working with Besic for a year.

To be honest, compared to Bilic, Besic is smarter and has his own opinions.

Bilic's tactical sensitivity is not high and his tactical literacy is insufficient.

Although Bilic was once part of Croatia's golden generation, it does not mean that he can be a good coach if he plays well.

On the contrary, Besic, who fell behind during his time at Dinamo Zagreb, has achieved great success in his coaching career.

Not only did he discover second-generation Croatian players such as Suker, Modric, Mandzukic, and Rakitic, but he also showed his advantages in many aspects while serving as the head coach of the national team.

For example, Besic is not headstrong, but he is not soft-hearted.

He will persist when it is time to persist and listen to opinions when it is time to do so.

Van Steyak knows that his tactical style is radical, but Besic plays the role of an adjuster very well. With the tacit cooperation between the two, they have excellent tactical adjustment capabilities.

Of course, tactics are tactics!

The reason why they dare to set the goal of "World Cup Championship" is also due to the performance of the players.

It can be said that this Croatian team has definitely reached the strongest lineup in history.

Even across Europe, there are very few teams that can challenge Croatia in terms of lineup.

Even Croatia during the Davor Suker era was hailed as the golden generation, but when facing Europe's top powers, they were frightened and played extremely passively.

But this Croatia won't have this problem.

Their strength comes from their psychological strength.

It is the continuous victory and the confidence brought to them by their outstanding performance in the European Cup and World Cup!

Bang bang bang bang! !

Besic clapped his hands and said: "Okay, today's training ends here, tomorrow is the game day, everyone go back and have a good rest, and gather on time tomorrow!"

The last day of training is over.

This means that as long as they finish the next game, they can enter the holiday.

"You still have to work during the holidays?" Mandzukic looked at Suker and asked.

Suk rolled his eyes.

Which pot should not be carried?

However, Suk's workload during this holiday is relatively light, which is mainly the result of previous hard work.

He can have about a week off, and during this time, he can take a vacation.

Of course, we will think about this after the game is over.

Georgia is currently ranked second to last in the group standings. Apart from Malta, he is the worst.

However, the reason why Croatia takes it so seriously is related to their early advancement.

Besic's character is cautious, so in the face of such a crucial game, he will not allow any unexpected comments.

The starting lineup must be faced by all the main players. If the score can be opened quickly, the substitutes will also get corresponding opportunities to play.

The next day, Maximir Stadium once again welcomed a large number of Croatian fans.

Even a lot more than usual.

After all, they haven't seen an outstanding performance from the Croatian national team for a while.

Furthermore, after getting used to the rhythm of the Croatian local league, they also want to experience the performance of these top players who have returned from the top league.

As for winning or losing the game, they don't think Croatia will lose to Georgia.

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:

Croatia (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Subasic.

Defenders: Planic, Simunic, Kovac, Srna.

Midfielder: Rakitic, Vukojevic, Modric.

Forwards: Perisic, Mandzukic, Suker.

Georgia (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Loria.

Defenders: Kashya, Hubutua, Grigalava, Kverkvilya.

Midfielder: Salukovadze, Kaladze, Kankava, Kisanishvili.

Forwards: Siladze, Ishvili.

Seeing Georgia's lineup, the Croatian players couldn't help but grin.

What is 4-4-2 here? This is 7-1-2.

In the midfield position, except for Kankava, the rest are defenders.

Georgia is just short of setting up a 9-0-1 formation, but in a sense, these two are the same.

Clearly, Georgia hasn't given up yet.

With four rounds of qualifying left, they drew with Croatia away from home, then won three consecutive victories, reversed Greece, and advanced to second place in the group.

There are a lot of variables here, but this is Georgia's only way to advance.

As for competing with Croatia, it is basically impossible.

To do this, they only need to get a draw on the road.

However, this is not a simple matter.

Suker also saw familiar faces in the opposing lineup.

Kaladze, his teammate during his time at AC Milan.

Karadze also saw Su Ke and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Kaladze left Milan in the 2010/2011 season, or was driven away.

It was said that Milan's top management had lost patience with him and was ready to 'drive him away', but based on a certain amount of friendship, they still gave him a chance.

But in the warm-up match against low-level teams at the beginning of the season, Kaladze frequently made low-level mistakes.

Suker heard that the game was a disaster. Faced with Kaladze's defensive error, Gattuso became furious and almost beat someone up, which shows how bad that game was.

After the transfer, Kaladze joined Genoa. His slow turn in the early stages was also targeted in various ways, but he eventually overcame these problems with his rich experience.

Even in the ratings of Gazzetta dello Sport at the end of the season, Kaladze was at the forefront of central defenders.

The whole Serie A is now like a joke!

Suker is certain that during his time in Serie A, Kaladze's performance would not get any chance at all.

At that time, forwards such as Suker, Trezeguet, Kaka, Ibrahimovic, and Totti were all capable of directly crushing the opponent.

I have to lament here that since 2008, Serie A has begun to decline off a cliff.

What's more, the departure of super giants like Su Ke has caused heavy losses to the entire league.

Today's Serie A's competitiveness has seriously declined. Let alone the mini-World Cup period, the Milan dynasty can be regarded as their last sunset.

In the field, players from both sides have taken their stance.

Suker was still wearing Croatia's No. 9 jersey, standing in the center circle waiting for the kick-off.

Van Steyak on the sidelines kept shouting to help the players sort out their game ideas.

This was the result of his discussion with Besic.

Georgia is obviously going to use the bus tactics. The most effective way to deal with this tactic is corner kicks, set kicks and other tactics.

What's more, Croatia's corner kicks and set kicks are very good.

Since Suker got [Juninho's set kick], he has established his position as the first set kicker in Real Madrid and the national team.

After all, this is a magic card that treats set kicks as penalty kicks!

With such a powerful weapon, Croatia is not afraid of the so-called bus tactics.

With the breakthroughs of Suker, Perisic and Rakitic constantly creating foul situations, Georgia will play more passively.

Beep!

The whistle sounded.

Amid roaring cheers, the game began.

"The whole game begins. This is the European Cup qualifying match between Croatia and Georgia. It is also a key event for Croatia to qualify for the European Cup. Facing such an important game, head coach Besic has put out a full lineup. , Make sure you can win the game!”

"But Georgia also responded. They put a lot of effort on the defensive end!"

Krausiewicz's words were a bit euphemistic, and he did not directly mention the word 'busing'. After all, setting up a bus is not glorious enough from any perspective.

But for Georgia, they are a weak team!

Croatia is currently ranked third in the FIFA country rankings, and the actual strength is higher than the ranking. They were able to win a draw despite the bus, which is already a very brilliant result.

The game has just started.

Modric began to observe the opponent's position, and when he saw the opponent quickly retreating and closing in the defense, he shook his head helplessly, and then passed the ball to Suker.

Su Ke caught the ball and turned around. He was not in a hurry to break through.

Georgia was also watching eagerly and did not make a move.

"Hold your position! Don't rush me!"

Kaladze reminded the team members loudly.

From what he knows about Su Ke, this guy is eager for the opponent to attack. Once he makes a move to attack or stretches out his feet, there will be flaws. Su Ke can use these flaws to break through.

Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a dense position.

Su Ke looked at the opponent unmoved and continued to pass the ball laterally.

Looking at the dense defense line and the opponent's goalkeeper's position, Su Ke blinked: "Try a kick first!"

Think about it!

Su Ke started suddenly and stepped hard on the ball with his right foot. While shooting, Su Ke made a twisting movement at the waist.

Georgia's goalkeeper noticed this detail. He stepped sideways to the right and flew toward the upper right corner.

He saved the ball with great difficulty.

"Suker! Direct shot!! Oh~~ A high-quality long shot. While running laterally, Suker also shot a reverse angle with his own quality. If the Georgia goalkeeper hadn't been focused enough, this time Shooting is dangerous1"

"But after Croatia opened the game, they got the first corner kick!"

Suk strode towards the top of the arc.

As soon as he stepped in, a Georgia player was about to lean toward Suker.

At this time, Mandzukic suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of Su Ke, acting as a shield for Su Ke.

Georgia had to again separate two players to follow up the restriction.

At this time, Modric raised his hand and looked towards the penalty area, and his raised right hand suddenly raised his index finger.

No. 1 corner kick tactic!

Seeing this scene, Suk grinned.

He suddenly left the top area and rushed towards Modric.

"Watch out! They're going to take a tactical corner kick!"

As soon as Suker ran, he directly brought out two defensive players at the front point.

At this time, Modric did not pass the ball to Suker, but directly took a free throw.

The ball flew towards the front point where Su Ke rushed out.

And there, in the originally vacant position, Mandzukic suddenly appeared.

Shaking his head violently towards the ball.

boom!

Georgia's goalkeeper once again blocked the ball high into the air with both fists. In the chaotic penalty area, the two sides began to compete for the landing spot.

At this time, the ball fell, and the Georgia goalkeeper crawled with his hands and feet to press the ball under him and protect it tightly.

"Georgia goalkeeper Loria made two consecutive wonderful saves to help Georgia deny Croatia's shot! His performance in this game was outstanding."

Since ancient times, weak teams have always been the best!

The performance of Georgia goalkeeper Loria is indeed eye-catching.

Of course, this also has the issue of bonuses to defensive tactics.

However, how long can they persist in the face of Croatia's continuous attacks?

In the 9th minute, Croatia made continuous passes in front of the penalty area. When Perisic received the ball, he failed to catch the ball firmly and tripped over the ball. He pretended to fall and tried to cheat, but the referee saw through.

In the 13th minute, Rakitic broke through and created a set piece, but it was a little far away from the goal. Suker hit the goal with a free kick. The goalkeeper accurately judged the landing point of the ball and took it into his arms.

From minutes 13 to 16, Croatia got consecutive corner kick opportunities, and the two sides fought. During this period, the Georgian goalkeeper made two magical saves, once again rejecting Croatia's shot.

"This guy should take his medicine!"

The depressed Mandzukic couldn't help but make this comment.

At 18 minutes, Su Ke began to exert strength.

Continuous dribbling shots threatened Georgia's goal many times.

This further flustered Georgia's defense.

Finally, in the 24th minute, Georgia was overwhelmed. When Suker was about to rush into the penalty area, the Karazera fouled, and Suker got a set kick in an excellent position.

"Huh~~~~~~"

Suk couldn't help but let out a breath.

Georgia was much more difficult to deal with than expected, especially after setting up a bus formation, which made people very irritated.

However, they still got a well-placed set piece as they wished.

This position is Suker's favorite position, a set kick on the right side of the front of the penalty area.

Suker placed the ball at the penalty spot and pulled back to extend the running distance.

"Suker's set kicks. Since the World Cup, Suker has frequently provided us with wonderful performances from set kicks. Can he score this goal?"

Under the spotlight, Su Ke glanced at the door one last time and then started to run.

Without a trace of hesitation, he whipped towards the ball.

The ball jumped over the jumping wall and fell rapidly, running towards the goal and getting in quickly.

Although the Georgia goalkeeper made a judgment, he was still a step too late and failed to save the ball.

In the 25th minute, Suker helped Croatia open the scoring with a set kick.

"Suk!!!!!! Goal!!!!"

"The set piece scored directly! Facing Georgia's iron barrel formation, Suker once again showed off his wonderful set piece footwork. Croatia led Georgia 1:0!"
