Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 689

Once again, like in the German World Cup, Pledikosa defended Croatia's goal with a great save.

This goal.

Su Fei was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

This dribbling breakthrough and calm shooting in front of the goal are worthy of being called the "Tsar" in the future, and worthy of being the object of competition among major giants next summer.

At this moment.

Su Fei even regretted that he didn't think of this name this summer and brought this player whose strength is greater than his fame to Manchester City...

Well, ahem, Su Fei put these thoughts behind his head. Now is not the time to think about "brother football".

This posture.

Croatia needs to score again to stabilize today's victory. Russia's offense is not as weak as imagined, and Croatia's defense is as unstable as ever...

On the side of the court.

Croatia's head coach Kranjcar, who was also scared out of his wits, began to shout in Croatian to emphasize the team's defense.

"Čuvaj formaciju!" (Formation!)

"Kocku!" (Punch area!)

"Zadržite svoju poziciju!" (Pay attention to the position!)

................................................

The game continued on the field, and Arshavin's one-stop shot greatly boosted Russia's morale.

However, Croatia also strengthened its corresponding defense, especially the key defense against Arshavin.

Su Fei strengthened the horizontal running position on the left and right positions in the front court to pull Russia's formation to a greater extent.

However, Croatia is not Manchester City after all.

In terms of the individual ability of the players, there is still a gap with Manchester City's Galaxy Battleship, so although Su Fei's passing and cutting running are good enough, he can often run out of some gaps.

In addition, Russia's quick-reacting regional defense makes it difficult to receive the pass from teammates in the first time.

The game time passed quietly.

30 minutes.

35 minutes.

40 minutes.

45 minutes.

As the injury time was up, the referee put the whistle into his mouth on time.

"Beep!"

"The first half is over!"

"The score is still Croatia leading Russia 1:0."

"As a game related to the group qualification, both sides played very cautiously and the game was very intense."

"Croatia's 1-goal lead is not safe."

"Russia also has a chance."

"Now it depends on what adjustments the midfielders of both sides will make."

......................................................

15 minutes of halftime.

Kranjcar seized every minute and every second to explain the tactics.

Su Fei sat in the corner.

Silently eating bananas to replenish energy.

To be honest.

The physical exertion of today's game is even more than every round of the Premier League since the start of the new season.

As for the reason.

Of course, it is because of the muscle confrontation that has always existed since the beginning of the game, which is the style of Eastern European football.

Today, the referee's whistle was also very loose, and he tacitly allowed many fierce confrontations that were beyond the scope of the rules.

One and a half.

Su Fei had several scratches on his arms, and his waist and chest were a little painful.

However, Su Fei believed that the Russian players defending him would not feel much better than him at this time.

......

Just as Su Fei thought, at this time on the other side.

Russian central defender Berezutsky and midfielder Somsov were asking the assistant coach for ice packs, and couldn't help complaining.

"That kid is a monster! Although he is Croatian, he is obviously a yellow man... I have never seen a yellow man as strong as him!"

"Uh... Maybe he is a descendant of Genghis Khan? Remember what the history books said? He once..."

"Alexander, this is not funny."

Several Russian players who understood in the locker room laughed, and Arshavin, as the captain, came out in time to interrupt Somsov.

He didn't want Somsov to talk about the history of Genghis Khan conquering the Russian region during the halftime break.

Somsov is a recognized joker in the Russian national team's locker room, but he sometimes speaks without thinking and makes jokes at inappropriate times, which gives Arshavin, who is full of responsibility, a headache.

"Ahem."

"Come on, gentlemen.The time to take a breath is over, come and listen to me. "

Hiddink didn't understand Russian, and didn't know what his players were discussing. He looked at his watch and asked the players to look at the tactical board through the portable translator.

"Listen..."

..........................................................

Under the same sky!

London, Wembley Stadium, the European qualifiers between England and Israel were being played simultaneously.

The second half of the game had just begun, and the score on the big screen was still 0:0.

In the stands!

Many English fans frowned and looked worried.

Especially those gray-haired old men who had experienced the glorious period when England won the World Cup in 1966, had begun to mutter and complain.

"It's getting worse and worse. I can't even score against the damn Jews..."

"Oh old John, you're right! It turns out that McLaren is a stupid coach!"

"Fxxxk!"

"What is Rooney doing? Such a great pass was wasted! My hypertension is going to flare up!"

"Quickly replace Beckham! These young guys on the field are like they were on some girl's belly last night... their passes are so limp! "

On the side of the court!

Steve McLaren, the then England head coach, also looked grim. Since the start of the game, the England men's football players have been slow to find their form.

Rooney, who has been killing all over the league, has kicked several shots in front of the goal today, and the passing errors in the midfield are also continuous.

In other words, almost no one in the entire England men's football team has played at the level they usually play in the club.

Under the heavy pressure of the international arena.

This group of young English players, due to their lack of experience, were somewhat overwhelmed by Belgium's stubborn defense.

"I don't know what's going on in Russia..."

McLaren remembered the game between Croatia and Russia at this time.

Russia is holding on to points.

If the team fails to beat Belgium today, it will become more passive.

The team can't rely on its own players, so McLaren can only rely on other people's players.

"I hope that kid can exert some strength..."

"Don't roll over."
