Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

In any competitive event.

The fact is.

Unless you can be a black to the end, doubts and underestimation will always accompany you.

For this point.

Su Fei, who led Manchester City to win the Premier League this season, has a deep understanding.

So.

When Modric brought the newspaper that belittled Croatia and favored France to him.

"Don't be disturbed by these media, Luka."

After Su Fei glanced at the title, he crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

"Alas, Su!"

"Sometimes I really admire you."

"Always be confident!"

Modric sighed sincerely, jumped on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Su Fei can be very confident, but as a rookie in the World Cup, he feels a lot of pressure.

Seeing the dying expression of the little Modric.

Su Fei directly opened his Nokia and threw it in front of the little Modric.

"What?"

"I downloaded a small game on my phone, Tetris. You can try it. When I'm in a bad mood, I'll play for a while. Imagine those blocks as my troubles, and they will disappear after a while."

"Is it really that magical?"

Modric became interested. From childhood to adulthood, football has been his biggest and only entertainment activity.

Although he has also been exposed to mobile phones and computers.

He has hardly tried any form of electronic games.

Soon.

After Su Fei taught him a few simple sentences, Modric mastered the basic rules of Tetris and started playing with great interest.

After a while.

The freshness brought by the game made Modric addicted to it.

Su Fei originally wanted to watch TV.

As a result, when he turned it on, he changed several channels, all of which were sports news related to the World Cup. He lost interest instantly and just wanted to empty his mind.

So.

Su Fei had no choice but to go to the hotel gym to accumulate training hours.

After 2 hours.

After finishing his exercise and returning to the guest room, Su Fei found that Modric was still excitedly pressing the Nokia.

He approached curiously.

"How is it? Does it look simple? In fact, it is quite difficult. What is your highest score?"

"I am not afraid of disappointing you by telling you this. I am an expert."

"I can reach a maximum score of 7,000 in this game!"

Su Fei did not receive Modric's reply, because the blocks on the screen of the little magic flute were so fast that he had to concentrate.

Another 10 minutes later.

Modric finally put down his phone with an annoyed expression and looked at Su Fei who had been watching next to him.

"You seemed to have spoken just now, right? What expert?"

"Nothing."

Su Fei saw Modric's 11,000 points on the settlement interface, and his ears were red as he snatched the phone back.

"It's almost 11 o'clock, it's time to go to bed. You have to play the next one on your phone."

Modric was confused.

Then he shook his head.

"I won't play. This thing is addictive! I have poor self-control. Only by eliminating it from the root can I maintain self-discipline."

"Okay."

After turning off the lights, Su Fei got into bed and quietly opened the Tetris game interface.

Half an hour later.

Modric was about to fall asleep.

Suddenly heard Su Fei's voice from the room.

"Fxxxk!"

"What's wrong?"

Modric suddenly woke up and asked repeatedly.

"Nothing, I'm going to sleep."

Su Fei in the bed reluctantly turned off his phone and stretched his head out to breathe fresh air.

Damn.

He is worthy of being the brain of the Golden Ball midfielder.

He reached a height that he could not surpass in 2 hours.

My damn competitive spirit.

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

The schedule of the top 16 was so tight that the Croatian men's football team had no extra time to watch the first match of other teams.

Kranjcar arranged a hastily prepared tactical class for the players.

Let's introduce the lineup of the French team and the characteristics of the main players.

In this World Cup, the French team played a 4-2-3-1 formation of two defensive midfielders and a single striker in two of the three group matches.

Vieira and Makelele, the top two defensive midfielders in history, ensured the solid defense of the French team.

Ribery and Malouda flew on both wings, and Zidane, as the front midfielder, was the absolute offensive core of the French team.

Henry played as the single striker, and Trezeguet was sitting on the bench.

"Can we limit Zidane and cut off his connection with other teammates to the greatest extent?

"It is the key to our victory over the French team!"

"His dribbling, breakthrough, and ball control are the key to our victory over the French team!"The ability is world-class. "

"This is the collection of goals scored by the French team in international competitions from 2001 to 2006, which was edited and sent to us by the video analysis department overnight."

"Let me show you."

The picture soon appeared on the projector in the conference room.

The Croatian men's football team watched it very seriously.

Su Fei was also watching.

He kept summarizing France's offensive tactics in his heart.

The continuous transfer between the wing and the middle is one of the main offensive tactics of the French team. Zidane perfectly assumed the role of the central axis.

At the same time, France is also good at passing and controlling the middle and counterattacks. Almost every player performs well in long and short passes.

It can efficiently send the football from the backcourt to the frontcourt between a few passes to create a threat.

In this regard .

It is similar to the gorgeous attack of Arsenal led by Wenger.

To sum it up.

It is to transfer the attack, penetrate the middle and counterattack quickly, and switch flexibly according to the situation of the field and the opponent's defense.

After the players watched the game video.

Their expressions were different.

Many people must admit that the delicate passing and control of the French team is simply dazzling.

Invisibly.

It added a lot of pressure to the players.

Kranjcar took the expressions of the players into his eyes and began to move the chess pieces on the tactical board.

"I know that the French team is indeed very strong."

"But there is no perfect team in this world, and they also have weaknesses!"

"They didn't win the first two games of the group stage, which is the best proof!"

This different kind of motivation is very effective.

The atmosphere in the conference room eased a little.

Then.

Kranjcar began to write on the tactical board.

"As long as we do the following points on the defensive end, we can limit their offense to the greatest extent. ”

“First, keep the formation compact and compress the space!”

“Second, strengthen the midfield interception!”

“Third, for their offensive core Zidane, adopt one-on-one defense and assist in the backcourt at any time. "

Su Fei nodded secretly.

Kranjcar is able to serve as the head coach of this men's football team, so he has something.

Next.

Kranjcar elaborated on these points in detail.

As the explanation went deeper, Kranjcar also divided each person's defensive area and defensive tasks in detail.

Su Fei could clearly feel.

The confidence of his teammates around him gradually increased.

There were more smiles.

When people have goals and directions, they will be motivated!

......

Time flies.

The two and a half days of preparation for the Croatian men's football team are over.

June 27.

The day for Croatia's top 16 match has arrived.

The Croatian men's football team landed in Cologne, Germany, and boarded the bus to the Cologne Stadium.

Top 16!

The battle between the checkered army and the Gallic rooster.

It is about to start.
