Chapter 327 Suspension... for two games
After I was sent off, Croatia faced a ten-to-eleven disadvantage. Although our Croatian team kicked off in the second half, it was a very bad thing to send off a player at the beginning of the game.Fortunately, I am a striker. For a team, if there is one less striker in the team, the lineup does not need to be greatly changed, so the coach does not need to adjust the lineup through substitutions.
Even if I get sent off, our Croatian team still has to move on.I went into the locker room and watched our team play on TV.
We started serving in midfield and Boksic passed the ball to Boban, who then controlled the ball and pushed it forward.
When Boban was advancing with the ball, Portugal's Rui Costa also stepped forward to press him.The confrontation between the two sides this time is the reverse of the previous one. Last time, Rui Costa easily passed Boban, and this time, Boban also easily passed Rui Costa, because Rui Costa's defense is indeed not very good. In front of the strong offensive and defensive Rui Costa, Boban can still find some confidence.
After Boban passed Rui Costa, he faced another player of the Portuguese team. This was a defensive player. His defensive ability was much stronger than Rui Costa. Boban did not dare to neglect. The ball was passed to Prosinecki.
Prosinecki saw that there were several people in front of him blocking his passing, but Baia's position was not very precise, so he simply shot a boomerang shot. This boomerang shot, from The right side of the goal made a bend and flew to the dead corner on the left side of the goal.
Baia saw Prosinecki's shot and flew towards the dead corner.His saving skills this time are very vigorous, which can be called a super-level performance, and he directly saved the ball!This wonderful save drew the fans in the audience to cheer loudly. At this moment, the audience was calling Baia's name.
Baia smiled, greeted all the fans, and then kicked the ball with a big kick. Our players, I was already missing one player, and we put our troops into the attack. The defense line at this moment It is relatively empty.The Portuguese seized the opportunity of our empty defense to launch an attack. Luis Figo was in possession of the ball. He quickly broke through from the wing to our bottom line. Enter.Figo passed the ball to Nuno Gomez. After Nuno Gomez got the ball, he shot directly without stopping. Our goalkeeper Latic flew to save, but Nuno Gomez's shot was really fast. Too soon, Latic's reaction was too late, the ball flew past Latic's hand and rolled into the net!
2:2, Portugal tied the score!My fate was quickly punished, and this punishment made our Croatian team so painful!
We will be even more difficult to play in the next game. With ten to eleven, we will not be able to attack Portugal even more.Portugal, under the leadership of Rui Costa and Luis Figo, further surrounded our defense line. This time, their birdcage tactics finally worked. It is even more difficult to drop their birdcage tactics.The Portuguese surrounded our back line, they passed the ball so well, we couldn't get the ball at all, and no one dared to go up and tackle it.The Portuguese are waiting for our shovel, as long as one of us steps forward, they will immediately hit the gap we created.My teammates were fully aware of their intentions, so they didn't dare to go forward and tackle at will.
The time passed by 1 minute and 1 second, and the Portuguese delayed the time very badly.Now they are tied, and Portugal is not in a hurry. Although they are behind us in terms of goal difference, they now have an absolute advantage on the scene and may score our goals anytime, anywhere, so they are not in a hurry to attack.
At this time, a subtitle was played on the TV.The subtitles are in English. For those of us who play football outside all the year round, it is not difficult to understand English.
What these subtitles say is that Denmark has a 1-0 lead over Turkey.Today, in the real-time standings, we still rank No.1 with a goal difference advantage, Portugal ranks third with a goal disadvantage, and because Denmark is against us, we scored three goals in the game. Goals, so in the instant ranking, the Danish team has surpassed Portugal and ranked No.2.
When I learned about all this, when I watched the game on the field, I suddenly found that the style of the whole scene changed suddenly!
The Portuguese team couldn't hold back anymore and started to attack!
The difference between the second group and the third group is the difference between qualifying and not qualifying!Even with just the difference in goals, the Portuguese are still behind the Danes.No team participates in the European Cup and does not want to move forward. The Portuguese still want to go one step further!
So Rui Costa and Luis Figo accelerated their forward attack speed. Luis Figo broke through from the side and passed Gianni directly!Gianni was directly eaten raw by Figo's technology, which shows how amazing Figo's technology is.Driven by Luis Figo, the Portuguese team began to attack our penalty area frantically!They hit again and again, Luis Figo's passes kept hitting our penalty area, and Simic managed to make a clearance, but the Portuguese got the ball after the clearance.As soon as the Portuguese players got the ball, they immediately passed it to Luis Figo or Rui Costa, and used these two superstars to carry out continuous attacks!Their attack oppressed our back line completely breathless. In the end, under the threat of a wide cross from Luis Figo, Nuno Gomez in the center finally found a chance to grab a low position in front of the goal!Nuno Gomez's shot was very close to our goal. No matter how strong Latic is, it is impossible to save Nuno Gomez's shot from a position two meters away from the goal. This ball hit our net hard... 3:2... We... were reversed by the Portuguese...
It's all my fault... If I hadn't been so impulsive, our Croatian team would not have fallen into the situation of playing more with less. This time, our good situation would be ruined, and our future in the European Cup would be...
Once such a scoreline continues until the end of the game, and the Danes beat Turkey again...
Well, we're out!
……
Time passed bit by bit.We didn't score another goal until the 90th minute.Instead, in the 3rd minute of stoppage time, the Portuguese team scored a free kick by Luis Figo himself, completely killing the game.I closed my eyes in despair... Such a result will make me subject to the trial of the whole of Croatia. I am sorry for the country, I am sorry for the people... How can I explain to the citizens? ...
My pain lasted for 2 minutes, after which I suddenly heard a frantic cry——
I looked up: Impossible!The Danish team, the Danish team... was scored by the Turkish team!
In the 5th minute of stoppage time, the Turks scored a goal from Hakan Suker and tied the Danish team with a score of 1:1!
In this way, we... as the second place in the group, qualified out of the finals in a thrilling manner!
I looked at Schmeichel's confused eyes, and felt pain in my heart—unexpectedly, our lives were at the cost of their deaths!This... what a cruel thing!
……
on the other hand……
UEFA has announced that I will be banned from the European Cup for unsportsmanlike behavior by raising my middle finger during the game.But because my behavior was provoked by the fans on the national standard, therefore, UEFA decided to give me a lighter sentence, and the number of games suspended is 2 games...
These two suspensions are already a fatal blow to our Croatian team... But, after all, it gave me my last hope...
Next, we have matches that may exist, as well as the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals.If I want to play in this European Cup...
Our Croatian team must win two games in a row and reach the final without me!
