Chapter 475 Modric's worries!
Hours after the France-Argentina match, another high-profile match was scheduled for Uruguay-Portugal.

But in the end, Uruguay eliminated Portugal with Ronaldo 2-1. In this game, Ronaldo was blocked by Uruguay and did little. He failed to save Portugal again like when he faced Spain.

The double pride of football ended one after another on the same day, which made countless fans feel emotional.

On July 7, host Russia will face Spain.

Before the game, no one was optimistic about the host Russia, and they all thought that even if Spain could not win easily, it would be no problem to win.

However, the result of the game once again slapped countless fans in the face. Russia insisted on drawing with Spain in regular time, dragging the game into a brutal penalty shootout, and finally defeated Spain 4:3 on penalties.

On July 7, at 2 o'clock in the morning, Nizhny Novgorod, the central city of machinery industry in Russia, will usher in the fourth World Cup 7/[-] knockout match, Croatia will play against China.

For this game, countless gamblers, fans, and the media from various countries were a little scared, and there was no direct conclusion on who would win and who would win.

Croatia has Modric, Rakitic, and Brozovic in midfield, while China also has a rising star Zhongyang.

The excellence of the champion midfielder has been seen by people all over the world through the three rounds of Group C.

No one dares to assert that the champion midfielder will definitely be defeated by Croatia.

Even the Croatian head coach Dalic didn't dare to speak harshly when interviewing reporters, for fear of being slapped in the face like the Danish head coach.

In an interview with British Sky Sports, Dalic euphemistically stated that Mo Yang is the best and most talented super player among the young generation of midfielders in today's football.

No one player can limit a super genius like this. This task can only be handed over to the whole team to complete together.

In addition, in the interview with the Chinese media, Dalic also mentioned other Chinese players besides Mo Yang. The attitude of paying special attention to the words made many Chinese fans secretly feel comfortable.

After a lapse of more than ten years, they finally saw the importance that European teams attach to Chinese football, instead of the previous kind of contempt when they were confused when they mentioned the Chinese team, with "Is there such a team" written on their faces? look.

Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese team, also gave Croatia face in interviews with media from various countries.

Lippi said in a media interview, "Croatia is a strong opponent. Croatian football has no obvious weaknesses. The overall cooperation is very tacit. They have the most powerful midfielder in this World Cup!"

The head coaches of the two teams should be as humble as possible in the media, but in private, they want to let the other party die immediately, and they are racking their brains to target each other.

Temporary hotel in the center of Nizhny Novgorod, Croatia.

Today is the match day. In order to let the players get enough rest, the Croatian head coach Dalic only arranged some relaxed ball training in the morning.

The training session ended at 9:[-] a.m., and Modric returned to his room to wash up. He sat down on the cool and breezy balcony, opened his laptop, clicked on the space bar, and played the match between Denmark and China.

Not long after, Rakitic, who lived with Modric, came back from the gym. He stood in the living room and looked at the balcony. Seeing Modric staring intently at the computer on the small round table, he shook his head with a smile.

Rakitic felt that his little friend became a little dazed after Real Madrid's three consecutive Champions League championships were defeated by Liverpool.

During this period of time, Modric watched the three group matches of the Chinese team repeatedly, and he didn't know what to watch.

Rakitic didn't bother Modric, turned around and went into the bathroom.

Not long after, Rakitic walked to the balcony with a bath towel on, sat down next to Modric, and said with a smile, "How about it, have you found a way to deal with that kid? Hehe!"

With a serious face, Modric raised his head to look directly at Rakitic, and said in a warning tone, "Ivan, you haven't fought Yang before, so you don't have a complete idea of ​​how terrible he is, but I still want to tell you that when facing Yang in a game, you must not be slack or distracted, not even for a second, otherwise you will never guess what miraculous things he will do!"

"Look!" Rakitic raised his voice and rolled his eyes, "Dude, I've heard this countless times since we came to Russia! My ears are almost getting calluses!"

Seeing that Rakitic was still acting foolishly, Modric smiled with helplessness on his face. He has said this many times in the team, but apart from the two ties with Mandzukic and Subasic Others didn't seem to take it very seriously when Liverpool played against each other.

Even the words of Moyang Liverpool teammate Lovren, these guys also don't care much.

Modric can guess the thoughts of his teammates.

Football is an 11-person team sport, and individual abilities rarely influence the outcome of a game.

That's true, but sometimes you can't stand those super-genius flashes of inspiration.

In the history of football, there are not many examples of changing the result of the game by one person, but there are definitely many.

Ronaldo, Pele and other legendary stars back then, and now Messi and Ronaldo, all had super personal abilities to change the outcome of the game when they were young.

And Mo Yang gave Modric the feeling that he is a super player with such superpowers, so he is really worried about his teammates' mentality of underestimating the enemy.

Once there is a mistake in the game, Modric has no doubts about Mo Yang's ability to seize the opportunity, which he has learned with Real Madrid.

As for the tactic that Dalic arranged for them to use the power of the team to limit Moyang, Modric recognized it, but he didn't take it too seriously.

Tactics are one thing, and execution is another.

Is the tactical ability of Guardiola, Conte, Mourinho and other world famous coaches in the Premier League worse than Dalic?Not at all, even better than Dalic.

But even they couldn't limit Mo Yang's phenomenal performance.

Although it was in the giants Liverpool, Moyang had the help of world-class players such as Henderson, Van Dijk, Arnold, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, etc., but this is not an excuse for them to limit Moyang's failure.

So Modric was very speechless when he heard that the media compared the Chinese team to a flock of sheep headed by the wolf king.

He used to herd sheep when he was a child, and if the sheep were cornered, they would kill people!

The two were chatting, and Lovren came to visit.

Seeing Lovren, Modric's eyes lit up. This can be said to be the person in the Croatian team who knows Moyang best except him.

"Dejan! Tell Ivan how to guard Yang!"

"Hey!!" Rakitic didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Let's chat, I'll take a rest."

Rakitic raised his hand and ran away. In fact, he pretended to be indifferent on the surface, but he still listened to what Modric said.

"Okay!" Lovren sat down, looked at Modric and smiled, "After studying Yang for so many days, are you confident to defeat him?"

"It's okay!" Modric pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "I and Ivan teamed up, should be able to restrain Yang to a large extent!"

"I hope you can do it!"

Lovren heard Modric's lack of self-confidence, but Lovren was also worried.

He knew Mo Yang very well, but Mo Yang also knew him.

There is another point that makes him palpitate just thinking about it, that is, Mo Yang can find out his weakness, but he cannot find Mo Yang's weakness.

As a midfielder, his body is not worse than that of a central defender, his speed is not slower than some wingers, let alone breakthroughs, it is simply a nightmare for all defensive players.

Thinking of Moyang's various passes that surpassed his imagination, Lovren felt a little wet on his back.

If he had a choice, he would definitely not want to face Mo Yang.

　Happy 61 everyone!Holding innocence!Good for physical and mental health!
