"Братских народов союз вековой~"

"Предками данная мудрость народная~"

At the CSKA Arena, more than 30,000 Russian fans sang the national anthem "Russia, Our Sacred Motherland" in unison.

The camera swept across the stands, men, women, young and old.

Football has always been the most popular sport in Russia, even ranking above ice hockey and figure skating.

In addition to the influence of the former Soviet Union, the vigorous development of the Russian Premier League is an important reason why football has continued to be popular in Russia.

After the appearance ceremony, the players of both sides stood in their respective half.

"ESPN Sports Satellite TV!"

"ESPN Sports Satellite TV!"

"Welcome to watch the live broadcast of the ninth round of the 2008 European Cup qualifiers!"

"Russia plays at home against Croatia!"

"Double defensive midfielders: Zlyanov, Semsov!"

"Left and right midfielders: Cermak, Bialetdinov!"

"Double forwards: Arshavin, Pavlyuchenko!"

"Russia's formation is a double defensive midfielder 442, which is also the current Russian head coach Hiddink's best Long defense counterattack formation. "" ... "" Passenger team, wearing a red and white jersey, a lattice Legion Croatia! " Croatia has a 442 formation of parallel positions in the four midfielders. This starting formation has a lot of differences with Croatia in Germany. " The new aid. "As Wang Tao explained, more and more fans were poured into the live broadcast room, most of which were Manchester City fans. -[Come here, I haven't watched Su Fei played the national team for a long time. I did not expect to do Maozi today. 】

-【Just abuse? Not really! When I was young, the Russians made a comparison. At that time, Croatia had not even participated in the World Cup. 】

-【This game will definitely be interesting. Both teams are reckless, with a lot of strong men. There will be fierce confrontation. Hurrah!!! 】

-【Rakitic played so badly in his last Premier League debut, but he can still start today. Is there no one left in the Croatian national team? Or is he a relative...】

............................................................

"Beep!"

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

Croatia has the ball.

After Mandzukic passed the ball to Su Fei next to him, he directly started to move forward in the middle.

Da Zhuang has a clear position in this Croatian men's football team. He plays as a central forward and uses his stirring ability to create chaos in the middle.

And Su Fei's position in this Croatian men's football team is very different from that of Manchester City. His position is more like a shadow forward.

Kranjcar hopes that Su Fei will make full use of his forward running, dribbling and passing abilities to create more diversity for the team's offense.

Su Fei, who took over from Mandzukic, immediately passed the ball to captain Nick behind him, and ran to the side, passing the Russian right winger Bialetdinov who was trying to steal the ball.

"Nick!"

"Pass the ball forward to Su Fei!"

"There was a wall-to-wall match between the two!"

"Su Fei!"

"He brought the ball to the front court from the right!"

"He was attacked by Semsov and Bialetdinov!"

Russia's regional defense was very fast!

Facing Semsov's steal, Su Fei pulled the ball and stopped suddenly, and Bialetdinov, who was chasing behind, rushed up.

Su Fei decisively sent outHe made a cross pass and handed the ball to Modric who followed up from the flank.

Modric then made a cross from the flank and sent the ball to the top of the Russian penalty area.

That position.

With his back against Russian midfielder Zlyanov, Mandzukic jumped up and headed the ball in the confrontation, barely sending the ball to the left.

The second landing point.

It was also a scene of muscular men confronting each other. Ivan and Russian left forward Cermak refused to give in, pushing and squeezing each other, trying to get the high ball.

As a result, they both fell down after jumping, and neither of them touched the ball.

"Bang!"

The ball bounced up again and was sent back to the Croatian backcourt by Anyukov, the Russian left back.

The ball flew high and far.

Srna chased back all the way.

In the end, he failed to prevent the ball from rolling directly out of Croatia's bottom line.

"Russia's defense today is very strong!"

"The confrontation is full!"

"Anyukov's clearance is also very decisive. No matter what, I will send the ball back to you first."

"Croatia is ready to kick the goal."

"Except for striker Pavlyuchenko, the rest of the Russian players are guarding the backcourt."

"Facing the new World Cup holder Croatia."

"Tactical master Hiddink chose to avoid the sharp edge. He did not take risky high-position pressure on the defensive end, but strengthened the overall defense and regional defense in the backcourt."

The first offensive and defensive confrontation between the two teams ended.

No one got the upper hand.

In the following period of time, the Russian men's football team continued to adhere to the idea of ​​high-confrontation defense and never hesitate to clear the ball with a big kick.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The football flew over the field again and again, and was sent back to the Croatian backcourt by the Russian men's football team, and then sent to the frontcourt by Croatia again through several quick passes.

....................................................

13th minute of the game.

Su Fei came to the center circle near the front court and received the forward pass from Rakitic.

A diagonal pass.

He penetrated the right midfield defense of Russia and accurately found Nick on the right side.

Then.

Su Fei and Modric cooperated with each other to form a triangle attack formation in the middle with Mandzukic in front.

Nick, who was approaching the bottom line on the right side with the ball, made a reverse triangle pass and sent the ball to Su Fei who came to the right side of the penalty area.

"Bang!"

Facing the incoming ball, Su Fei turned around and knocked it without stopping the ball, and it was high in the penalty area.
