All-around center

Beep! !

The sharp and long whistle sounded suddenly, without any preparation, it suddenly hit the heart, as if the heartbeat missed half a beat.

The sudden action in the field followed, and the fans could not help but cheer and shout, filling the entire stadium.

"This is the 2014 World Cup, the match between Brazil and Croatia. It is also the most watched matchup in the World Cup so far!"

"As a five-time World Cup champion, Brazil has faced its strongest opponent in this World Cup. If Croatia wants to climb up, they must climb this World Cup landmark mountain!"

With the sudden start of the game, the entire stadium entered a state of madness.

Some excitement, excitement, and apprehension, but mostly nervous.

Whether they are Brazilian or Croatian fans, they cannot guarantee that they can beat their opponents. For this reason, the tension in their hearts is indescribable.

In the field, players from both sides entered into a fierce confrontation at the beginning of the game.

The Brazilian team passed the ball all the way back, and Croatia immediately pressed high.

But Brazil can use its good ball control and ball-playing abilities to continuously transfer control and keep the ball at its feet.

Croatia had also expected this. Their high-position press was not accomplished in one fell swoop. Instead, they changed their rhythm, suddenly applied pressure, and then withdrew again, waiting for the opportunity.

Croatia still has plenty of experience in this area and knows how to hit a snake within seven inches.

Knowing that the Brazilian team invests more players in the ball control area, even if they press fiercely, they may not be able to achieve very good results, so they simply move the defensive point some distance back.

Kaka was in the gap between passing and receiving, and he also noticed Croatia's movements.

They are all veterans in football, and some things can be understood at a glance. Since Croatia planned to retreat a little, they stepped forward and pressed forward.

"Pato!"

Kaka roared. At this time, a desperate attack was needed to stimulate fighting spirit.

Compared with Neymar's dribbling breakthrough, Pato's speed and explosive power are undoubtedly more impactful.

The moment Kaka shouted, Pato had already turned around and started.

Kaka also started a long pass at the same time, making a precise long pass behind him, intending to get behind Joel Luka.

He took advantage of Cioluca's characteristic of turning slowly.

"Brazil took the lead with a long pass from Kaká!"

Pato rushed all the way, almost squeezing through from the outside, and rushed the ball to the inside before Giorluka. At the same time, he squeezed diagonally. Giuluka's rhythm was disrupted, and Pato It is to complete the inside cut.

"Pato! A chance for Brazil!"

Pato has not yet stabilized the ball and connected with the second set of actions.

But at this time, Lovren had already rushed in front of him, trying to clear the ball before Pato.

However, at this critical moment, Pato hurriedly directed the ball to the center with his toes.

In the middle, Vader and Fred were engaged in a fierce physical confrontation.

Fred stood in front of Vida and barely touched the ball, but failed to hit the right spot and the ball flew over the crossbar and out of the baseline.

"Oh~~The Brazilian team shot a threatening shot in their first attack. A long pass from Kaká helped Pato complete a breakthrough."

"Judging from this attack, the Brazilian team has a very strong desire to attack, and they have no idea of ​​testing Croatia, but directly choose to launch an attack!"

When Modric and others retreated, it was already a step too late, and their expressions were quite solemn.

He also didn't expect that the Brazilian team's first attack would be so determined.

And instead of passing it through the ground, he directly passed the ball behind him with a long pass.

But I have to say, this is really threatening.

"No testing? Start directly?"

Su Ke grinned. The Brazilian team was telling them that they were bound to win this game.

At least in terms of momentum, these guys really played at home.

"Is it necessary to strengthen the defense on the left wing?"

Modric asked.

Giorluka thought for a moment, pursed his lips, turned to look at Neymar on the right, and then shook his head.

"I can withstand it. Once Brazil's two wings are kicked up, it will be more difficult for us to kick!"

Modric nodded and patted Giorluka on the shoulder: "Come on!"

At this time, you have to trust your teammates.

At the same time, Modric also understands that they also need to exert their strength.

Since the Brazilian team has no idea of ​​testing and actively starts to speed up the rhythm, Croatia also needs to adapt to the rhythm.

In fact, the Brazilian team is trying to grab the rhythm.

It is hoped that this attack will give Croatia a powerful start, and at the same time connect the next attack, continue to eat away at their midfield rhythm, until the rhythm is firmly controlled in their hands.

I have to say that Kaka thought very well in this regard and also took action.

But Modric won't let others push him around!

"Forwards, charge forward!" Modric shouted forward.

Su Ke and others also nodded immediately.

They know that they have to compete with the Brazilian team for rhythm.

Even though Modric doesn't look tall and tall, this guy has a very bad temper.

That's because I don't want to lose at all.

Otherwise, how could this guy be the captain of Manchester United?

Even at the hottest moment of Manchester United, he still had enough say in the Manchester United locker room.

This is not only a reflection of strength, but also a part of toughness and spiritual things.

Manchester United is not recognized by all players!

The game started again.

When Croatia kicked off again, it passed the ball to Modric's feet smoothly.

Modric was not in a hurry to pass the ball. Even if Pato ran over to press, he still withstood Pato's harassment, turned around, and passed the ball smoothly to Suker.

Suker retreated to receive the ball, and there was still a lot of space in front.

However, when he received the ball, Alves and Casemiro instantly bullied him and put intense physical pressure on him, while also constantly stretching out his feet to press.

Suker pulled the ball back and forth, and at the same time had to withstand the confrontation between these two guys.

This is not an easy task.

Even Suker, he was a little overwhelmed.

At the moment when he was about to be pushed by the two, Suker tapped the ball lightly with the outside of his foot, passed the ball from Casemiro's crotch, and passed it horizontally to Rakitic.

Casemiro also realized it later, and he subconsciously closed his legs, but he was still a step late.

"Damn it!"

Casemiro cursed inwardly, and then turned his head and rushed towards Rakitic.

This guy was like a bulldozer in the Brazilian team's half, constantly rushing around, and any player who dared to threaten their half was his prey.

As a teammate of Real Madrid, Suker also knew Casemiro's style and ability.

But in this game, Casemiro's condition was much better than usual.

Or rather, the entire Brazilian team was in good condition!

"I can't stand it! I can't stand it!"

Rakitic was not idle in his mouth, he really couldn't stand it.

Casemiro's physical confrontation ability is very strong, and his small body can't stand it at all.

Suker immediately went over to respond.

Seeing Suker running over, Casemiro took a step to the left and blocked Rakitic's passing channel first.

But at this moment, Rakitic suddenly pulled the ball in the opposite direction, and at the same time, he knocked his heel and turned around to get rid of it.

"Hold it! ——"

Rakitic accelerated his feet and attacked Brazil's penalty area.

He knew that these Brazilian players would definitely cut off the passing channel between him and Suker once Suker came over.

And this was his best chance to get rid of it!

As expected, Casemiro was calculated!

Rakitic kept turning his head to observe the left and right sides while speeding towards the penalty area.

Suker started late, so even though he was very fast, he did not run to a favorable position.

Perisic on the right was in a good position.

Thinking of this, he immediately passed the ball diagonally forward.

Perisic accelerated his feet and caught up with the ball first.

Marcelo's style of play is to pinch the inside line and let the outside line go.

To this end, Perisic suddenly dribbled the ball with his left foot again, and then directly connected with his left foot to cross the ball.

The whole set of actions was smooth and flowing. Although Marcelo reacted, he still couldn't keep up.

Bang!

Unfortunately, Mandzukic in the middle was sandwiched by David Luiz and Thiago Silva and couldn't touch the ball. The ball was cleared by David Luiz's header and flew to Kaka's feet in the penalty area.

After Kaka received the ball, he immediately turned forward and passed it.

"Counterattack!!"

"Brazil's counterattack! When Croatia completed the offensive link, Brazil immediately launched a counterattack!"

The Brazilian commentator was dry in the mouth.

Since the beginning of the game, his mouth has never been idle, even without a break for breathing.

The two teams attacked one after another, one after another, tit-for-tat, which was exciting to watch, but also made the commentator dizzy.

But he could only endure this discomfort and continue to explain.

"Brazil passed the ball to Neymar, and this time it was Brazil's attack on the right wing."

Neymar was very excited after holding the ball.

In this World Cup, Neymar's performance is much better than in the original time and space.

It's not about how good the data is, but the performance in the game.

His breakthrough and dribbling are a great weapon for Brazil's offense, and his breakthrough success rate is also very high, which enables Brazil to launch a continuous attack on the right wing.

As soon as Neymar held the ball, he suffered the same treatment as Suker.

Combined pressing from Vukojevic and Srna.

In terms of this defensive choice, the two teams are surprisingly consistent.

The original text is in Liu # 9 @Shu/Bar!

"Neymar is entangled, what should he choose?"

Croatia's defense is still very strong. In the face of sudden counterattacks, their response is also extremely calm and swift.

Modric and Rakitic are approaching this side, and others are also retreating.

If Neymar delays for a while, there will be no chance of counterattack.

At this moment, Pato actually passed the ball across the field and ran to the middle.

"Pass it!"

Pato yelled.

Neymar immediately passed the ball.

Pato pretended to receive the ball with his back to Vukojevic, and at the moment when he tricked him into following up, he suddenly passed the ball behind him.

Kaka immediately followed up and gently rubbed the ball.

The ball flew over Vukojevic's head and flew to the empty space behind him on the right.

Neymar and Srna were both sprinting at high speed, they both wanted to control/destroy the ball as soon as possible.

But someone was one step faster than them.

Vida suddenly rushed out horizontally, and at the moment the ball landed, he decisively and fiercely slid the ball directly out of the sideline.

Roar! ! ! !

Vida stood up, clenched his fist, and roared suddenly to vent his inner tension.

At the same time, the Croatian fans in the stands also cheered for Vida's wonderful clearance.

"Vida! He cleverly grasped the timing of the landing point this time, which requires the prediction of the passing line and the advance judgment of the landing point, but he did a good job, and Croatia resolved the crisis of the back line!"

Klausevich shouted loudly.

No matter from which angle, this clearance relying only on the back line is very outstanding.

Not only the forwards and midfielders, Croatia's defense also performed outstandingly in this game.

First, Lovren's pressing and clearing!

Now it's Vida's early judgment and destruction.

All these tell everyone that Croatia's defense is not so easy to break through.

The Brazilian commentator also shook his head regretfully.

"Kaka handled the ball very well, but Croatian central defender Vida made a judgment and acted boldly. If Kaka didn't pass the ball like this, Vida would act again, which might lead to the emptiness in the middle, but it must be said that Vida's judgment was very accurate!"

"These also tell us that if we want to break Croatia's defense, we need to continue to put pressure on it and counterattack more quickly!"

It's still Brazil's ball!

The Croatian players also retreated to set up defense.

Suk's expression was solemn.

Although he thought that the Brazilian team was difficult to deal with before the game, he really understood how difficult it was to stop the Brazilian team's offensive after the game started.

In these two attacks, if there was any slight mistake, they might have lost the ball.

All these told him that if he couldn't score in advance, Brazil would have a chance to score at any time.

Bang!

Kaka received the ball with his chest and turned around to pass it.

After passing the ball, he immediately ran towards the empty space.

But this time, he was stuck by Suker.

Kaka turned his head and looked at Suker. There was no surprise on his face. Suker had defensive ability. Although he would not do it too often, he would do it once the dangerous moment came.

This just proved that the offensive of the Brazilian team now made Croatia very uncomfortable.

Kaka received the ball again. Suker was two meters in front of Kaka, with his center of gravity slightly lowered, looking at the opponent with a covetous look.

After observing on both sides, Kaka actually passed it back directly.

"Are you scared? Choose to pass it back?"

Suker started to talk nonsense.

Kaka smiled: "Why did you retreat?"

Don't you have any idea in your mind?

Suker knew that he couldn't compete with Kaka if he stuck to this issue.

So he just pretended to be dumb.

But wherever Kaka ran in the center circle, Suker followed.

Kaka's role in the Brazilian team is too important. He is definitely the key axis that connects the upper and lower parts and the midfield.

Just hold this guy down, and it will be easy to suppress the Brazilian team.

But the question also arises, is Kaka so good to be suppressed?

If so, this guy will not be the starting midfielder of Real Madrid.

Under Suker's interference, Kaka is indeed somewhat affected, but he can still complete the work of passing the ball and connect the midfield.

However, he can't pass the ball directly to Neymar or Pato like before, or create a good opportunity for them to attack.

Just from this point, Suker's goal has been achieved.

Of course, the pressure on the Brazilian team is also very high.

Every counterattack by Croatia will make them terrified.

They spend a huge price to suppress Suker's performance as much as possible.

But in this way, other positions will play more and more smoothly.

It can be said that both Brazil and Croatia have the opportunity to score.

It depends on who can break the deadlock first!

Bang!

In the 21st minute, Brazil got their third corner kick.

"Brazil's third goal, Brazil posed a threat in the first two angles, let's see how they deal with this corner kick!"

The Brazilian commentator expectedly.

In 21 minutes, there was almost no time to clean up the mess, and both sides showed very wonderful performances.

Both offense and defense were very good, which just confirmed the strong dialogue.

In the eyes of all fans, the focus of the World Cup should be like this, not mistakes.

Although there were no goals, every wonderful attack and extreme clearance stimulated the fans' nerves and made them extremely excited.

Brazilian fans cheered and cheered for their team.

Kaka raised his arm in the corner area, indicating that he wanted to take a penalty kick.

At the same time, the Brazilian players rushed into the penalty area.

But at this moment, Alves suddenly moved forward.

Suker also saw someone passing by him at high speed from the corner of his eyes, which made him feel bad, and he immediately followed.

But it was still slow to start. When Suker was about to catch up with Alves, this guy tapped the ball.

Kaka moved sideways from the side and snatched the ball away.

"A tactical corner kick for Brazil, is there any chance!"

Bang!

Kaka passed the ball to the penalty area without hesitation.

The entire penalty area suddenly turned into a fierce melee.

Vida lived up to expectations, suppressed Fred, and cleared the ball.

However, the ball was hit during the descent, and it was impossible to exert force, and the ball could not be thrown too far.

The ball landed about two meters from the penalty area line.

And there, Oscar suddenly appeared, took a stance, swung his right leg, and slammed the ball!

Bang!

The ball hit the goal again like a cannonball.

This was a ground-level cut, with good pressure.

After entering the penalty area, the ball rubbed Lovren's heel and refracted, flying towards the other side of the goal.

Subasic had already judged the landing point and made a save.

Now facing this sudden change of direction, he was helpless.

He could only watch the ball go into the goal.

In the 22nd minute, Oscar scored with a long shot!

Brazil 1:0 Croatia!
