All-around center

Standing in the player tunnel, Modric felt extremely nervous for the first time.

Although the cheers of the whole stadium were ringing in his ears, the sound of his heart beating violently was still clear.

His breathing was very rapid. Although he wanted to calm down this emotion, it was still difficult to calm down.

He knew that walking out of the tunnel in front of him and crossing the arch would be the World Cup final they had dreamed of.

He didn't know when he began to look forward to the World Cup, nor did he know when he started to have specific implementation, but at this moment, he couldn't think too much. The key was to play the game in front of him well.

Srna stood in the front row, his eyes were like torches.

In terms of mentality, he was better than Modric, but there were also some signs of strong pressure. After all, it would be strange if he didn't feel nervous in the final.

The German team on the other side was in the same situation.

Both sides waited silently for entry. The atmosphere at this moment was depressing and tense. Even the referee team in front could feel the tension of the storm.

The referee from Sweden received the instructions by pressing the headset, and then turned around and shouted: "Get ready to play!"

Bang!

It was like a hammer hitting my heart, my heart beat more violently, and the blood in my body seemed to be boiling.

They took a few quick breaths, but this also made the atmosphere more tense.

"Get ready to fight!"

Srna and Lahm, the captains of both teams shouted almost at the same time.

Then came the fierce response from the players of both teams.

They were all shouting at the top of their lungs, as if whoever's voice was a little quieter would fall behind.

As the referee team walked out of the player channel, the players followed closely.

And when the protagonists of both teams appeared on the stage, the whole audience was boiling.

Fans from all over the world also cheered at the same time.

The long-awaited World Cup final is finally about to begin!

In the 2014 World Cup, after a month of competition and elimination, after a brutal fight, the two teams finally came to the final stage.

One is Croatia from Eastern Europe!

The other is Germany from Western Europe!

Although both teams are European teams, they have different tactical styles, but their strength is comparable, so this game has attracted a lot of attention.

The starting lineups of both teams are as follows:

Croatia (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Subasic!

Defenders: Srna, Vida, Lovren, Joel Luka.

Midfielders: Perisic, Vukojevic, Rakitic, Modric, Suker.

Forward: Mandzukic.

Germany (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Lahm, Boateng, Hummels, Höwedes.

Midfielders: Muller, Kramer, Kroos, Schweinsteiger, Ozil.

Forward: Klose.

The lineups of both teams are definitely the most stable.

Injuries did not reduce the fighting power of the two teams too much, but became more and more tenacious during the game.

When the German team, wearing black jerseys, and the Croatian team, wearing red and white checkered uniforms, entered the final, the cheers on the scene continued for a long time.

"The players of both teams have entered the field, and the game is about to start!"

"Both teams have brought out their strongest lineups. Facing the stage of the final, one step forward will win the championship, and one step back will lose everything!"

"For this reason, the next 90 minutes are an important time point for both teams to play the game!"

"And judging from the lineup of both teams, this game will obviously not be boring!"

All the major commentators are giving pre-match commentaries.

Suker stood on the court, doing his own unique warm-up movements as always.

But no matter how he beat, he couldn't get rid of the tension in his heart.

Logically speaking, it has been nearly ten years since he entered the top five leagues in 2005. During this process, he played several Champions League finals. He shouldn't be so nervous.

But his violently beating heart told him that he was indeed nervous.

As much as Suker values ​​the World Cup finals, the more nervous he is at this moment.

Suker gently patted his cheeks to keep himself awake.

At this moment, the captains of both teams also finished choosing their sides, and Srna ran towards them with his arms raised, which meant that they had the right to kick off, which was very helpful for their tactical arrangements in the first half.

"Well done!"

Suker stretched out his hand, and Srna patted it hard, then passed Suker and continued to run to his position.

When the players of both teams stood still, and Suker and Mandzukic stood in the center circle, the atmosphere of the whole stadium suddenly became depressed.

"Damn! Why are you so nervous?"

In the VIP room, Davor Suker shook his legs uneasily.

He has watched a lot of World Cup finals, but this is the first time he has been so nervous.

After all, it was Croatia that entered the finals, and this feeling is different.

How strong his desire to win is, how much nervous he is.

Boban and others were speechless and stared at the court the whole time. They were curious about how the Croatian boys would start the game.

Whether they could keep steady at the beginning and not get distorted due to excessive nervousness.

This is the stage of the World Cup final, a stadium that many people dream of. Tension is also a part of this game, and even accounts for a large proportion.

And how to overcome this tension is what the players on both sides should solve.

Beep! !

A sharp whistle sounded.

The final started so abruptly.

There was no inspiring speech before the game, and no delayed unexpected situations. Everything unfolded in the whistle.

And when the whistle sounded, Croatia also quickly kicked off.

"It's started!" Davor Suk clenched his fists: "Hold it!"

When the game started, Croatia also passed the ball back to the half court smoothly.

Germany's reaction was also very fierce. It rushed directly into Croatia's half court and started pressing!

"Don't want to give up the midfield!" Davor Suk gritted his teeth secretly.

In the stadium, in addition to cheers, the most common thing was the shouts of the players.

"Hurry up!"

"Don't stick to the ball!"

"Pass it!"

"Move! Move!"

"Don't stand there!"

"I'm empty here!"

Everyone was very active and kept exchanging various information.

In this link, Suker ran from the left wing to the middle to meet.

Seeing Suker's position, Modric immediately passed the ball.

There were two players next to Suker, and Modric thought Suker would pass it immediately to ensure possession of the ball.

But Suker's decision was surprising.

At the moment when he was about to touch the ball, Suker suddenly stepped forward, letting the ball pass through his crotch, while pushing the ground with his left foot, turning around with his right foot as the axis, and almost squeezed through between Kroos and Muller.

"What the hell?"

This change was not only surprising to the German players, but also the Croatian teammates.

Suker actually started to exert force directly.

After a simple turn, he was not afraid of confrontation and went straight through the middle. This run instantly disrupted the rhythm of the German team's midfield.

"Stop him!"

Ram's eyelids jumped as he watched from behind.

The moment Suker turned around, his heart began to beat violently.

Although he hadn't reached his side yet, he still nervously directed his teammates to intercept.

Fortunately, after Suker passed the ball, he did not drive straight in, but passed the ball to the right and then ran to the left.

It was as if he was saying 'scare you guys! '

However, Suker's move did scare the German team.

"Oh my God!" The German commentator patted his chest: "Please! Don't give me this kind of stimulation, don't miss Suker, it's too dangerous!"

Although it was just a breakthrough in the middle, it still made the Germans sweat.

The camera captured Suker's face, his eyes were bright and his eyes seemed to be glowing, which was a manifestation of a decisive game concentration.

And the biggest feeling for Suker at this moment was

"No more numbness!"

Suke shook his arms, and his arms, which were a little numb due to nervousness before the game, immediately evacuated after a stimulation.

In other words, the body quickly entered the game state.

This was also an attempt by Suker to force himself to quickly enter the game state in danger.

Of course, here we have to rely more on our own strong skills to ensure that we will not lose the ball.

Once the ball is lost, the effect will be counterproductive.

"Doesn't he know what fear is?" Van Styak touched his chest and soothed his throbbing heart.

Besic on the side smiled and shook his head and said; "If he is swallowed by this nervous emotion, he is not Suker!"

With Suker's breakthrough, the rhythm of the game has changed subtly.

It should have been a test link for both sides, but after Suker's breakthrough, both sides tacitly skipped this link, and the offensive and defensive rhythms became somewhat aggressive.

"The rhythm of the game has accelerated!"

"Is this Croatia's tactic?"

"But Germany is also very strong in a fast pace, and Croatia may not be able to withstand it!"

Maldini and others who were watching the game were also a little surprised by this sudden change.

Croatia did not play by the rules at all and disrupted the rhythm directly.

It was like throwing a big stone into a calm lake, ripples and waves surged, and the rhythm of the game instantly became unusual.

"Croatia itself wants to disrupt the rhythm!" Pirlo suddenly said.

Inzaghi; "What's the benefit for them?"

Pirlo pursed his lips; "If the game is allowed to proceed step by step, do you think Germany or Croatia will have the advantage?"

Inzaghi was stunned for a moment.

Although he supports Croatia, it is reasonable that Germany should have the advantage.

"So these guys actively disrupt the rhythm in order to prevent the rhythm from developing in this direction?"

Pirlo suddenly laughed.

"Do you remember that in the Champions League quarter-finals nine years ago, a team called Dinamo Zagreb tried to use this method to break our rhythm many times."

No mistake, one song, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9!

Memories were instantly evoked, and the Milan celebrities present all remembered that game.

Although they won the game, Suker and others did cause them a lot of trouble in that game.

You know, AC Milan was at its peak at that time. It was good enough to stabilize the situation at that stage, not to mention causing trouble.

"I found a characteristic of Croatia!" said Maldini.

"In unfamiliar areas, they will directly break the rhythm and make the scene chaotic."

Gattuso thought for a while and said; "I am blind, so I dig out the opponent's eyeballs?"

Everyone grinned, what kind of metaphor is this.

However, it is very appropriate!

"But what are they trying to do?" Inzaghi said puzzledly.

Pirlo: "What is the most important thing in the chaos?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Maldini said: "Personal ability!"

Everyone suddenly understood.

Gattuso was surprised and said: "Is this what they plan to do? This is not the offensive and defensive battle rumored by the outside world. Croatia did not want to play an integrated game with Germany at all. They disrupted the rhythm at the beginning, which is to set the stage for Suker!"

Chaos represents chaos, but there are opportunities hidden in chaos.

At this time, what is tested is the player's personal ability and even the ability to seize opportunities!

As for this aspect, who dares to say that he is better than Suker?

"Don't mess up! Don't mess up! Steady!"

Ram kept shouting, but no matter how he shouted, he couldn't keep the rhythm.

Even if Germany wanted to keep the rhythm, Croatia was constantly disrupting it.

If Germany was a step slower, it would not be able to keep up with the rhythm.

The rhythm was madly surging again, and at this moment, both sides were blocked.

Either run wildly with the rhythm, or give up the midfield and shrink back to defend.

Obviously, neither side had the intention of shrinking back to defend, so they could only fight with real swords and guns.

"Calm down! Calm down! Don't play like this!"

The German commentator's eyelids jumped.

Klausevich on the other side was also shouting nervously.

They could clearly see that in the process of chasing and intercepting, various gaps came into being, and the scene was chaotic.

As long as someone passed the ball or got rid of the breakthrough, it might become a fatal problem.

Although this situation has not yet occurred, as this rhythm continues, one side will inevitably be unable to withstand the pressure.

It can be said that both teams are dancing on the edge of a knife, seizing opportunities in risks.

Bang!

Rakitic and Ozil collided fiercely, and both fell in different directions on both sides.

But they quickly supported themselves and got up, and their movements were almost the same, both of them stretched their feet to poke the ball.

I don’t know who poked the ball, and the ball poked forward. Several players were fighting for it, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

In this chaotic situation, Suker’s eyes were always fixed on the crowd.

Although it is impossible to determine the specific direction of the ball, intuition often has unexpected effects.

After noticing that Lahm was standing forward, Suker suddenly moved towards the sideline.

His movements were not big, and the range of movement was not large, so it did not attract much attention.

After all, the focus at this time was on the chaos in the midfield.

But Suker was staring at the empty space behind Lahm.

As long as someone poked the ball to that position, he could start immediately.

So.

Anyone can!

Poke the ball out!

"I tackled!"

"I tackled again!"

"I fucking tackled again!"

Rakitic tackled the ball three times in a row. Although the ball always flew in an unexpected direction, it still made the rhythm chaotic.

Rakitic got up again, looked at the chaotic situation, and cursed.

"When will it end!"

Mandzukic and Schweinsteiger competed for the ball. The ball flew backwards and hit Rakitic's supporting leg, rebounding forward.

"Damn! It didn't stop well. Good shot!!"

Rakitic was about to curse, but when he saw the ball drill through the gap in the crowd and fly towards the empty space on the left, Rakitic's eyes suddenly lit up.

Because he glimpsed a white figure on the left wing moving forward at high speed.

There was no need to think about it. This figure must be Suker!

"Back to defense! Back to defense!"

German coach Loew stood on the sideline and shouted excitedly.

The moment Suker started, he was shouting.

Watching Suker sprinting, Loew wanted to rush up and pull Suker down.

But he couldn't do that. He could only watch Suker sprinting along the sideline, like an arrow quickly passing through the back line, and directly reaching the landing point of the ball.

"Oh~~~ Suker!!"

Klausivic stood up suddenly.

He saw Suker receiving the ball outside the penalty area on the left, while Lahm was still retreating.

But Suker did not rush directly into the penalty area, but waited for a moment. When Lahm was about to arrive, he actually flicked the ball to the outside and then moved horizontally along the penalty area line.

"Damn it!"

Boateng cursed inwardly.

He was not afraid of Suker rushing in, but was afraid of this kind of horizontal movement.

At this time, Mandzukic and Perisic had already reached the back line, and he and Hummels were both stuck here, neither up nor down.

Neither up nor down.

At this time, Suker had dribbled the ball to the middle position.

Suker turned his head to look at the goal, and German goalkeeper Neuer squatted down instantly to save the ball.

But the next second, Suker dribbled the ball again and passed Hummels.

"Come closer!"

Neuer immediately ran to the near post.

With Suker's current body orientation and speed, it is impossible for him to kick the ball in the opposite corner.

This is a problem that violates the principles of physics, so it can only be the near corner. As long as this position is guarded, Suker will have no way.

Neuer stared at Suker, his vision was blocked by Hummels, and when he saw Suker again, he found that the ball under Suker's feet was gone!

"What a joke?"

Neuer was stunned!

"Srna!!!"

Klausich slapped the table and roared loudly.

Suker and Srna crossed their runs, Suker actually stepped on the ball in place, and Srna rushed out from the right, brought the ball to the middle again, and swung his right foot to shoot.

The overall movement of the German defense line, including the goalkeeper, was from the left to the right, so Srna and Suker's cross-running directly tore a gap in the German defense line in an instant.

And this gap is fatal!

Srna stared at the goal, his mind was blank at this time, and he was almost acting by relying on the inertia of his body and muscle memory.

His foot touched the ball firmly, not too lightly or too heavily, just like the usual speed, and the angle was well controlled.

The ball penetrated the crowd and flew straight to the right goal post.

With a "ding" sound, the ball hit the goal post and bounced into the net!

The whole stadium was silent!

And after the silence, there was a storm of cheers.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!!!!"

"Dario Srna!"

"The captain of Croatia brought us the first goal!!"

"Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Long live!!!"

"We scored!!"

"We are leading!!!!——"

Klausevich was shouting like crazy.

But he was not the only one. In Croatia, the whole country was instantly boiling because of your goal.
