"Goal! Goal! Goal!"

Kovacic was as excited as a child. He rushed over and jumped on Suker's back, waving his arms excitedly to celebrate.

He was more excited than if he scored the goal himself.

Scoring a goal yourself only brings one part of happiness.

But assisting your idol brings two parts of happiness.

Moreover, this was Kovacic's first assist in the World Cup. He created an opportunity for Croatia to expand the score within a short time of playing, which is already very valuable.

Other teammates also congratulated Kovacic.

For veteran players like Suker and Modric, they are still very willing to see these newcomers perform in the World Cup.

After all, they are getting older and will definitely need more helpers in the future.

And these newcomers are the strongest backing for Suker and others in the future.

"This attack was unexpected for England. No one expected that the starting point of another attack would be Kovacic, who was only 20 years old and just came on as a substitute!"

"He was so calm. He seized the only opportunity to get rid of it and took decisive action."

"Kovacic trusted Suker very much. Even if Suker's position was not very good, he was still willing to pass the ball to Suker!"

"Suker did not disappoint the young man. It was a wonderful goal!"

Klausevich couldn't help but applaud.

"We should encourage young people to do more such actions. Don't be afraid of mistakes. Try boldly!"

Kovacic climbed on Suker's back. This scene made countless young Croatian players envious.

In the minds of this generation of young people, Suker has an unshakable position.

It can even be said that Suker is Croatia's Maradona.

Nine of the ten young Croatian players have Suker as their idol.

They also have the dream of playing with Suker or fighting side by side.

Kovacic is obviously the first guy to realize this dream, so it is not surprising that they are envious.

On the bench, Brozovic had mixed feelings.

He was happy for Kovacic's assist, but at the same time he felt a sense of urgency and even more envious.

The urgency was that he also needed to show the same performance and did not want to be compared.

What he envied was that this guy could celebrate on Suker's back, while he could only sit on the bench and watch.

Croatia's third goal, Suker completed a hat trick in the first round.

This all shows that this Croatia is in an extremely hot state.

If you can see the championship phase, it is probably like this.

Commentators from various countries also feel extremely headache when looking at Croatia like this.

"You must be careful of Croatia! The state they showed in this game has surpassed too many teams." Spanish commentator Gonzalez said solemnly.

Before the game, they knew that Croatia was a big enemy, but they did not expect it to reach this level.

Although England was a little lonely, it was not so weak that it was shaved bald and fell behind by three goals.

I can only say that England was suppressed too hard in this game.

They were in a passive state from beginning to end, and even had a hard time getting a chance to counterattack.

In general, they were extremely passive and had no temper after being kicked.

This is somewhat similar to Spain in 2014, except that in this World Cup, Spain, as the defending champion, has just suffered a Waterloo. Whether it can overcome this setback and successfully advance to the knockout stage is a question.

The tone of the German commentator was also serious.

"We must be careful of Croatia. This Croatia has shown an excellent state since the first game. We have reason to believe that the German team, which aims to win the championship, will inevitably encounter this Croatia on the road to winning the championship!"

"And when facing them, how should we strive for an advantage? This is a question that Löw's team needs to think about!"

The Brazilian team, which also has the potential to win the championship, is also paying attention to Croatia's performance.

It can be said that any team that has ideas in the World Cup will feel extremely heavy in their hearts after watching Croatia's performance.

Croatia's performance is too good!

So good that they feel weak in their hearts!

So far, in the opening stage, only Croatia has played such a dominant performance.

Back to the game, after falling behind by three goals, England is basically in a state of collapse.

They also want to score goals and want to turn the tables!

However, Croatia will not give them such opportunities, and they themselves cannot get these opportunities.

The only lucky thing is that Croatia began to retreat steadily and focus on controlling the field.

This can allow them to encounter less offensive pressure from the opponent in the next time.

As time passed, the whole stadium was filled with the singing of Croatian fans.

They sang happily, cheered loudly, waved their flags and jerseys in the air, and the enthusiasm of the entire stand was ignited.

And the Brazilian fans, who are easily disturbed, also joined in, and immediately caused waves of passionate cheers in the stadium.

Although the game seemed a bit dull, the fans just had fun.

The previous games were exciting enough, so they didn't mind the dullness of the last time.

At the 80th minute, both sides used the last substitution quota.

England once again stepped up its offensive power, intending to fight to the death.

Croatia, on the other hand, played steadily, continued to invest in defense and stabilized the score.

However, the substitutions did not have much effect.

England's problem was the midfield connection problem. After being suppressed by Croatia in the midfield area, it was completely unable to play.

In this game, Croatia also set an example and told the world how England should play.

Once this problem is magnified, if it is not solved in time, it may affect England's subsequent two games, and even cause them to fail to advance in the group stage.

After all, Uruguay and Costa Rica are also watching covetously.

Rooney is still running, and even fighting more fiercely.

In his dictionary, there is no word for compromise.

The old man who once taught him did not teach him what "surrender" means.

However, his running was too blind, and he could not run to the point at all.

But he also knew that if he did not run, he would have no chance!

Rooney's physical energy was greatly consumed by the continuous round-trip running, but he was still tirelessly chasing the ball.

Regardless of his personality, his attitude in the game is still worthy of recognition.

I don't know how long I ran, and three sharp whistles entered my ears.

Srna, who was not far away, kicked the ball out of the sideline, and then ran to his teammates excitedly. The Croatian players began to hug each other and celebrate.

The fans in the stadium also burst into intense cheers.

Rooney was panting heavily, sweat slid down his cheeks, and his chest rose and fell violently.

"It's over?"

When Rooney looked up at the time, he found that it was fixed at 90+3 minutes. He knew that their first World Cup game was over.

And it started with a 0:3 defeat.

Rooney slightly raised his head and looked at the sky. The dazzling spotlight made his eyes a little dazed, and extreme fatigue began to surge into his heart.

Rooney sat on the ground with his buttocks, leaning back, supporting himself with his hands, and just kept panting.

From his face, it is not difficult to see the loss and resentment.

But there is no way, failure is failure, there is no other reason, they played too badly in this game.

At the same time, his own state has declined a lot.

Thinking of this, Rooney turned his head and looked at Suker.

Suker and he are players of the same period, and he was also Suker's competitor, but he was left behind a little bit.

Rooney is very clear that his state is gradually declining, and it is not surprising that one day it suddenly declines.

But in this comparison, Suker's ability to always maintain an excellent state is very valuable.

Of course, he also knows that Suker's state is related to his self-discipline.

Rooney can't let himself live the same life as Suker.

Therefore, he will not make excuses for his decline in state, let alone for the loss of this game.

Just before that, a hand stretched out in front of him.

Rooney looked up slightly and found that Modric stretched out his hand to him.

Rooney smiled bitterly and also stretched out his hand to hold it.

Modric pulled Rooney up, and the two hugged gently.

"Congratulations!"

Rooney felt bitter, but still gave his blessing.

He has a very good relationship with Modric. Perhaps he can't control himself, so Rooney likes to make friends with people who have a regular life.

And Modric is such a person.

Whether as the captain of Manchester United or the core of the midfield, Modric always makes people very satisfied and will not leave people with any words.

This is also the reason why Rooney gradually recognizes Modric's captaincy.

"Come on in the next game!"

Modric didn't know what to say. At this time, comfort is not a good choice.

Rooney is strong, and comfort at this time will only be a kind of charity.

Hearing this, Rooney also nodded slightly, and then turned around and followed the team to the player channel.

The stage is for the winner.

As losers, they have to go back and review it and find the reasons for their failure.

"The game is over! The game is over! We successfully won the first game!"

"A hearty victory!"

Klausevich cheered loudly.

Although the score was not that big, this game was indeed very refreshing.

The rhythm was suppressed throughout the whole game, and the situation was not shaken by England. Croatia maintained an oppressive style of play until the end of the game.

"The boys are in good shape. As a game in this World Cup, they have put in a surprising performance."

"Modric and Rakitic's stable control, the back line has not made any mistakes!"

"Suker's performance has always been above the standard. This Croatian team has shown their attitude from the beginning."

As for what attitude it is, Klausich did not say it. After all, this thing will bring pressure to the players, and he is also afraid that his excessive expectations will lead to self-defeating.

Although he wanted to say it, he was almost crazy.

But he still held back!

"The 70% ball possession rate in the whole game, the number of threatening attacks and shots were twice that of England, and the attack success rate was also very high. All these show that our state is really good."

"The boys keep this going, into the next game, and the next game, until the end of the World Cup!"

"Okay, gentlemen, today's commentary is over. You can celebrate as much as you want. Let's celebrate our first victory in the World Cup together!"

"Of course, we can't take it too easy. In the second round of the group stage, we will face the South American powerhouse Uruguay!"

"At the same time, we can look forward to the next game, the same Group D match, Uruguay VS Costa Rica!"

"Because of the first game, we are all very excited. We also played the game we wanted, and we are very happy for it!"

When interviewed by the media, Su Ke also talked eloquently.

It is not difficult to see that he also has a smile on his face, obviously very satisfied.

It felt really good to win the first round of the game and complete a hat trick.

"How would you rate your performance in this game?"

Suk glanced at the reporter, did he mean to boast?

"I feel pretty good. If you can raise some issues, I'm willing to accept them!"

After saying that, the surrounding reporters all laughed, and the reporter who asked the question showed an embarrassed smile.

This kind of trouble-making question no longer works in front of an old fritter like Su Ke.

It's okay to bully a rookie, but Su Ke doesn't accept this!

"The next game is against Uruguay. Who do you think is the most threatening in this South American team?"

Suker pondered for a moment and said: "Uruguay is a traditional powerhouse in South America. This is an opponent we need to go all out. Every one of their players is excellent, and we cannot make a single choice for this."

"The next game is the second game of Group D, between Uruguay and Costa Rica. Can you predict this game?"

Su Ke smiled and shook his head; "I can't make a specific judgment. For us, our opponents need to deal with it with all our strength!"

The match between Uruguay and Costa Rica is really hard to say.

According to the original time and space, Costa Rica's performance was very strong, even to the extent of qualifying first in the group.

It was a blockbuster when almost no one was optimistic before the game.

On the other hand, Uruguay, who was favored before the game, encountered many problems.

After the interview, Su Ke also returned to the locker room.

The teammates have already begun to celebrate. They won the first round of the World Cup and played so smoothly. They couldn't help but feel happy.

As the bus left the stadium, fans gathered around the stadium and cheered and applauded towards the bus.

Even the surrounding Brazilian fans behaved the same way.

Obviously one game made them all happy.

After a while, I don’t know who was the first to shout. After a while, everyone was shouting Suk’s name.

However, Su Ke did not dare to get off the bus. The bus was able to leave only after the security personnel came to clear the area.

"The game is about to begin!"

Srna held his mobile phone in his hand and said while watching the live broadcast of another game in Group D.

Hearing this, Su Ke leaned sideways and asked, "What lineup?"

"Costa Rica has all the main players! Uruguay is missing Suarez!" Srna said.

Suk nodded, this is very different from the original time and space.

Suarez just didn't play in the first game, causing them to lose to Costa Rica.

In the second game against England, this guy showed his prowess and helped Uruguay score two goals, which finally restored the decline.

However, there are some changes in this time and space. Uruguay will play Croatia in the next game.

If they lose this game, Uruguay will lose twice and be eliminated from the World Cup early.

"So fast?"

Just as the bus was about to arrive at the hotel, Srna suddenly yelled.

Everyone turned their heads.

Srna turned his head and said in shock; "Costa Rica scored!"

Hearing this, the entire bus exploded!

Except for Suker, they are still collectively optimistic about Uruguay.

Even if Costa Rica is a dark horse, it can't compete with a traditional South American team.

"A goal in the first nine minutes? How did Uruguay defend?"

Uruguay's main central defender is Atletico Madrid's iron defender Godin!

But ten minutes later, the accident occurred again.

"Pereira is on the hook!"

Srna said.

Modric; "What a big deal, isn't this normal?"

Srna grinned; "Red card!"

Hearing this, Modric was also stunned.

"Uruguay is going to be finished!"

Even Rakitic came over to watch.

"Is it so stressful?"

He didn't remember that Costa Rica's forward line was so powerful!

But after watching the game, he understood.

These guys are on fire!

Several counterattacks have threatened, and the kicks are becoming more and more vigorous.

They took advantage of Uruguay's mentality of wanting to counterattack and equalize after losing the ball, and launched continuous threatening counterattacks.

Every counterattack pokes at Uruguay's weaknesses.

This also makes the development of the game completely unclear.

It confirms what Modric said, Uruguay is going to be finished!

After 90 minutes.

"The whole game is over. It was really a surprising game. Uruguay, a strong team from South America, lost the first game. They failed to defeat Costa Rica and eventually lost the game 1:4!"

"The most important thing is that the loss of this game has made their situation very dangerous, even desperate!"

"They have to play Croatia in the next game!"

"Once they lose this game, Uruguay may have to go home, Uruguay must fight hard!"

Listening to the commentator's words, the Croatian players couldn't help but grin.

"Damn it! Why did they lose?"

In fact, they didn't particularly want to see Uruguay lose.

Once Uruguay lost, these guys would definitely fight hard!

In the next game, Uruguay must fight with them, and they must use all means to ease the situation.

And Croatia can't give up any game, which means that the next game has not started yet, and the smell of gunpowder has spread.

"Be careful in the next game!"

Suk said to Srna.

Srna nodded: "I know, we must keep steady and not lose our composure!"

"No! You don't understand!" Suk looked at Srna with complicated eyes.

You might be bitten!
