Chapter 234: 0 to 2, critical hit when opening the door

"Comfortable!"

Donovan stood up first and moved his body, his face full of comfort.

Not to mention massage, he knew that after every training session, when they were as tired as a mangy dog, Chen Yu could always help them regain their energy immediately and become more energetic.

But this time, what surprised him was the cup of ginger and brown sugar tea.

It was hot and poured into the stomach in one breath. The heat began to radiate from the stomach, as if it came out from every pore.

The coldness accumulated in the body during the first half was just wiped away.

Now his body is warm, as if he has never played football.

"Don't be idle, do some activities by yourself." Chen Yu warned again.

In this game, Arena was not only modest in words, but also in tactics. His strategy was defensive counterattack.

He ran at high speed down the right road.

It shows that the tactics are okay.

Stop the ball and send a kick straight to the middle.

In the first half, many opportunities that could threaten Croatia's goal came from running away.

And Chen Yu soon discovered that Arena's tactics seemed to have no problems at all.

On the court, Mathis opened his arms and rushed towards Donovan excitedly, coming to the sidelines and yelling.

The American team really relied on fighting to create scoring opportunities.

Every time there is an attack, the defense has to press forward and run, from start to finish. If anyone can't run anymore, replace him immediately.

Playing correctly, Pletikosa pounced, but not completely. His gloves were a little slippery due to the rain, and he could not completely control the ball.

Before Chen Yu could say a good ball, he was hugged excitedly by Arena next to him.

Then there was a long pass, straight to the right.

After running for a full seventy minutes, Croatia's physical strength was obviously having problems.

Still Donovan.

Su Ke had already begun to wander in the frontcourt, unable to run at all.

But as Arena said, opportunities are created by spelling out. Hajuk did not give Niko Kovac, a former Leverkusen teammate, any face. He caught his mistake in returning the pass too casually and succeeded. Steal the ball.

Anyway, the American team is young and full of physical strength. Since the skills are not good, they can only run hard and be active.

Jozic was dumbfounded, standing messy in the light rain and wind.

With a squeaking sound, the jersey broke free without holding on.

Scored!

In the 71st minute, the United States team took the lead to break the deadlock and scored a goal.

Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Sordo wanted to reach out and pull him.

The target is the shortcomings of Croatia's aging lineup and lack of physical strength.

But in the light rain, Donovan was like a sharp arrow, rushing faster and faster, because he had noticed that the ball was passed bigger.

71 minutes.

Chen Yu couldn't control his excitement and shouted.

He was not disappointed.

In the past, Chen Yu, like all Americans, didn't like watching football very much. He felt that scoring goals was too slow. Sometimes he would play a whole game without scoring a single goal.

"Goal! We are ahead!" Arena jumped up and down excitedly.

At 35 years old, he really can't outrun a young man like Donovan.

On the contrary, Sordo stumbled, his legs gave way, and he fell onto the turf.

Behind him, Sordo had a sullen face and ran wildly while holding his breath, but he could only see Donovan walking away.

Matisse caught the ball, made a slight adjustment, raised his leg and fired angrily.

Donovan caught the ball and looked up.

Their midfielder no longer instigated an attack, but moved back and forth, seeming to have accepted the result of the draw.

With a pop, he fell to the ground, looked at the football rolling into the net next to him, and punched the ground angrily.

The 35-year-old Zvonimir Sordo turned around and chased after him.

So from this perspective, Chen Yu felt that Arena still wanted to win, or at least strive for a draw.

When we returned in the second half, the rain had lightened up a bit, but it didn’t stop.

Then he asked that everyone must run, run with all their strength, compete for every ball, and every defensive forward must not watch the play in the frontcourt and must retreat.

Fifteen minutes passed by in a hurry, and Arena did not explain too much about the tactics. He summed it up in one sentence, just like the first half, keep running.

Center Clint Mathis, who is only 26 years old, followed up with a lot of space around him.

Donovan was unaffected and continued running.

But now, Chen Yu feels the charm of football.

When you braved the wind and rain and waited for more than an hour, when you were excited at the beginning, then tired, then numb at the end, and even began to accept a draw, the goal came.

At that moment, all the waiting and suffering had an outlet and was released.

It's like doing enough foreplay just for the last moment. Although the peak is happy, the whole process is also enjoyable.

"Don't be too happy, there are still more than twenty minutes left." After celebrating, team leader August Martin couldn't help but throw some cold water on it.

I'm afraid that extreme happiness will lead to sadness, and 3 points will become 1 point.

It was supposed to be a draw, but maybe Croatia just gave up and just let it be a draw.

But now that we are lagging behind, there is no way out and we can only fight with all our strength.

When the score is overtaken, it often occurs at this time.

"Yes, yes." Arena reacted and quickly came to the sidelines and asked the players to retreat to defend.

In his mind, this goal was the American team's good luck. The Croatian tiger took a nap and accidentally gave the American team a chance.

Don't be a good boy when you get an advantage, just keep the bus in front of the door and wait until the end of the game.

But at this time, Chen Yu suddenly noticed that Sordo, who had been chasing Donovan before, fell to the ground and never got up.

And the Croatian team doctors rushed to the field. injured?

Chen Yuxin mentioned it again. As a doctor, he still didn't want to see players injured.

But looking back on the previous scenes, it seems that there was no physical contact.

Seeing the actions of the Croatian team doctor, Chen Yu understood immediately.

Cramped!

I'm old, I've been running for so long, and it's rainy and cold. It's normal for me to get exhausted and have cramps.

Jozic looked up to the sky and sighed, his face full of helplessness, and he changed people.

And there are two in one change.

Not only Sordo, but also Su Ke, obviously unable to run.

He replaced two people at once, waved his arms to signal attack, and then attacked.

Thinking back to how polite he was before the game, praising the U.S. team that although they were strong, young and energetic, Croatia was experienced enough and could control the tempo on the court, he wanted to slap himself twice.

Knowing that they are young and capable of fighting, they still don’t make targeted arrangements.

What else is there to control the tempo on the court? Just kick back and forth and put a bus in front of the goal, right?

The dignified third place in the last World Cup, if he loses to the unknown American team, his face will be disgraced!

Holding his arms and looking at the U.S. team players retreating and running wildly in the rain, Jozic's face turned a little ugly. It was weird. How could these guys run so well on the same rainy day.

I know I'm young, but I can't run like this.

For more than seventy minutes, I haven't seen any players from the US team stop for a stroll. Now they are still running all over the field. I don't know this physical strength, but I thought they were practicing long-distance running at home every day.

Croatia knew to attack, but the substitutions did not have a very good effect.

First, a bus was set up in front of the US team's goal, and second, Croatia was really unable to attack.

Four years ago, the speed they were so proud of could not match it.

The most important thing is that the American team not only runs fast, but is also not afraid of physical confrontation. They attack again and again and fall outside the penalty area.

Seeing that time was about to run out, Croatia, which had been unable to attack for a long time, was not only impatient, but also had the uncontrollable idea of ​​giving up.

I really can’t fight anymore.

At this moment, another too casual kick allowed the American team to seize the opportunity.

Reina rushed out quickly, stole the ball and rushed forward.

It was still fast, and half of the game had been killed in an instant.

On the sidelines, Chen Yu stood up involuntarily.

This is a real defensive counterattack in front of you!

Chen Yu had already noticed Donovan. The young man reacted very quickly. He rushed out almost as soon as Reina stole the ball.

Croatia's defense pressed too far forward, once again sounding the alarm.

Facing the blocking defender, Reina didn't panic at all.

In the American team in front of us, if we really want to talk about a star, he is one and only one.

After all, Zeng Jindu has become the captain of Wolfsburg and is a solid player in the Bundesliga.

He is the core midfielder and offensive engine of the US team. He has dual Argentinian and Portuguese ancestry. He also has delicate footwork that is rare for the US team. With a simple change of direction while running at high speed, he can pass the defender and reach the penalty area. .

There was only one defender left in front of him, and he did not dare to foul rashly in the penalty area.

What's even worse is that Donovan has already caught up with him.

For a moment, Reina's mind was still clear, and he made a move to shoot, but calmly put his foot back and tapped to the right.

Donovan rushed over and kicked the ball into the goal.

Entered again.

2 is better than 0!

Arena was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what he was doing. He excitedly raised his arms and ran in front of the bench.

This counterattack came so suddenly, and the whole process was so fast, that he didn't expect to score so easily, and that Croatia's defense could be so messy.

He turned his head, hugged Chen Yu again, and shouted excitedly: "Chen, Donovan is great, I want to thank you."

He wished he could hug Chen Yu and kiss him.

During the qualifying round, Donovan was too young, but Arena saw him as fast and called him into the national team.

But at that time, Donovan suffered from groin trouble and was always unable to rush on the court.

It was Chen Yu who completely cured Donovan.

This young man can run wildly and unscrupulously.

Chen Yu laughed loudly, yes, what a good young man, with one assist and one goal, he really made a contribution in this game.

On the field, everyone on Team USA was celebrating wildly.

Even the celebration took a little too long.

But the Croatian players did not complain to the referee. They all stood in despair.

The rain kept falling, and the sky was gloomy. It must be just like their mood at the moment, gloomy to the extreme.

Trailing 0-1, there seems to be hope.

But now, unless a miracle happens like the sky clearing up immediately.

Jozic stood on the sidelines, motionless and motionless.

In this game, he actually cares about it. His goal is to win and score 3 points.

In Group G, it goes without saying that Italy is very strong. Knowing that four years have passed and the team's lineup has aged, Jozic does not expect to defeat Italy.

In Jozic's vision, Italy has a high probability of winning all three games and qualifying as first in the group.

Therefore, if Croatia wants to qualify, it must win the remaining two games.

Before the game, Jozic felt fine.

An American team and an Ecuadorian team are not strong teams.

Especially the American team, a fourth-tier team, will never be a match for Croatia.

Who would have known that in the first game of the group stage, the American team would give themselves a critical hit, which was such a big surprise.
