As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 341 Three Cats Against Grid
Southgate did not allow Jose to take the free kick.

Leading the score, there is no need for England to take risks.

Ashley Young took the free kick and he also chose to hit the goal directly.

It's a pity that the ball speed is too far behind, and the angle is not dominant.

Subasic made a timely save and blocked the ball with a single punch.

In the 29th minute, England had another good chance.

Lingard slanted to the left side of the penalty area.

Kane pushes from a small angle after getting the ball.

It's a pity that it was saved by Subasiqi bravely.

The ball did not fly far, and Kane grabbed the chance to make a supplementary shot.

To Kane's sigh, his supplementary shot was once again blocked by Subasic.

According to legend, the opponent's goalkeeper will be inexplicably excited when Jose participates in the game.

Judging from the scene just now, the legend is not without foundation.

In the first half hour, although Croatia firmly controlled the midfield, they did not have an advantage in finishing.

In the 31st minute, Jose also had a second chance to save.

Rebic crosses from the right.

Jose strikes again, hitting the ball out of the box with both fists.

Outside the penalty area, Henderson and Rebic competed, but Rebic got the ball better.

After Rebic got the ball, he shot directly from a long distance. He wanted to catch Jose by surprise?
Without any effect, Jose flew sideways and steadily confiscated Rebic's shot.

Jose takes a quick goal kick.

It's a pity that it failed to pass the midfield interception of Croatia.

Only 1 minute later, Croatia came again.

Perisic drove the ball into the left side of the penalty area. Facing the blocks of Trippier and Kyle Walker, he chose to pass the ball low and flat to the right side of the penalty area.

When the ball was about to reach the middle of the penalty area, Jose made an attack, and he shoveled the ball out of the penalty area.

Jose's range of activities is no longer limited to saves in front of the goal.

Subsequently, the England team organized an attack.

Ali knocked horizontally.

Lingard's push from the front of the penalty area.

It's a pity that it deviated slightly from the direction of the goal.

The England team knew that the midfielder would never be able to beat Croatia, so they resolutely implemented the tactics of advancing from the side and crossing from the bottom.

It's a pity that the frontcourt players are a little lacking in grasping ability.

At the end of the first half, Croatia got an excellent free kick opportunity.

Jose hurriedly organized and lined up the human wall.

Modric hits the goal at will.

When the ball went around the wall, it touched Maguire's scalp slightly, and there was a slight refraction immediately.

Jose reacted in time and confiscated the magic flute's shot without any risk.

At the end of the first half, England temporarily led Croatia 1-0.

This result is both unexpected and reasonable.

Croatia has experienced penalty shootouts in a row, and their physical fitness has been affected to a certain extent.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again.

Croatia took the lead in launching the offensive, while England took the initiative to shrink the defense.

In the 50th minute, Rakitic made a long pass from midfield.

Jose attacked and directly confiscated the ball.

2 minutes later, Rebic's diagonal pass.

Still failed to escape Jose's ten fingers.

Jose struck again and confiscated the ball.

Through the perspective of God, Jose discovered a loophole in Croatia, so he kicked the goal kick immediately.

The ball fell to Sterling after crossing the midfield.

Sterling broke into the penalty area single-handedly. He didn't shoot the goal immediately, but brought the ball near the baseline.

Facing Subasic's block, Sterling chose to pass back to Lingard who followed up behind him.

By the time Lingard got the ball, the Croatian players had returned to defense.

Lingard's shot was blocked by Lovren.

Because of Sterling, England missed a great opportunity.

Still an attacking opportunity for England.

Trippier made a low pass from the right to the goal.

It was Lovren who made a contribution again. He destroyed the ball before Kane.

In the 60th minute, Croatia had a chance to equalize.

Perisic kicked the ball from the right, but was pushed out by Trippier.

In front of the left side of the penalty area, Rakitic got the ball and volleyed directly.

It's a pity that the angle was not widened and was easily confiscated by Jose.

Two minutes later, Henderson made an oblique plug.

Sterling thought about life again when he handled the ball.

As a result, Sterling's shot was blocked by Vader.

The ball fell to the feet of Croatia.

In the 64th minute, Perisic took the ball at the front of the penalty area, and he suddenly kicked and shot.

Kyle Walker flew to block.

However, after the ball touched Walker, it changed direction and continued to fly towards the goal.

Fortunately, Jose's god-level prediction responded and prepared for the save in advance.

Surprisingly, Jose won Perisic's long-range shot.

After winning the ball, Jose habitually glanced at the frontcourt.

Didn't see any chance of a quick counterattack.

Jose throws the ball to Maguire in front of him.

The England team organized the attack again.

In the 66th minute, Trippier picked a pass.

Kane gets the ball and shoots from a small angle.

It's a pity that it hit the side net.

Subasic quickly took the goal kick.

Croatia fought back quickly.

Fossariko made a cross from the right, and the landing was precise, and it was sent directly to the feet of Mandzukic.

Mandzukic shoots directly to the lower left corner.

Jose was on the right side of the goal at this time.

Jose didn't pause at all, and flew straight over.

Right on the goal line, when Jose was about to touch the ball, something unexpected happened.

Perisic also flew forward, and he touched the ball before Jose.

Unexpectedly, Perisic finished the shot on the goal line.

At this time, even if Jose used a cheat, it was too late to stop the ball from flying into the net.

For Perisic's stab shot in front of the goal, the England players naturally had an opinion. As the captain, Kane complained to the referee immediately.

Only VAR can intervene at this time.

The referee judged after watching the VAR replay that the goal was valid.

Perisic scored in this World Cup, Jose's only goal conceded.

The score on the field became 1 to 1, and the two sides returned to the same starting line.

"Are Croatia going to go all the way to the final on penalties?"

"Impossible, in that case, the French team will win 100% of the championship."

"What?"

"Physical fitness is not enough!"

The game continues.

In the 71st minute, England made a mistake in the backcourt.

The ball went straight to Perisic's feet.

On the left side of the penalty area, Perisic hit the goal directly.

Jose made the first save, but only touched the ball with his fingertips.

Just when everyone thought that Croatia would overtake the score, the ball hit the right post and bounced back.

This is naturally caused by Jose's precise calculation.

If you don't deal with it like this, Jose will have to consume one cheat time.

In the 81st minute, Perisic made a cross from the left, which was directly confiscated by Jose again.

One minute later, Mandzukic turned around and shot in the penalty area, but still failed to break through Jose's ten fingers.

In the 83rd minute, Stones made a clearance and did not kick far.

Perisic faced an empty goal with a volley shot, and it turned high.

In the 86th minute, England's offensive opportunity.

Kane made a direct pass.

But Lingard didn't stop the ball well.

In the 89th minute, Lovren tried a long shot from the outside, but it was high.

In the 91st minute, England got a free kick on the right side of the front court.

It's a pity that the penalty spot is far away, and Jose has no chance to shoot directly.

Trippier takes the free kick.

Bigfoot passed into the penalty area.

Kane grabbed the first spot and he headed directly to the goal.

It's a pity that Kane is too tall.

The ball flew straight out of the baseline.

At the end of the 90-minute game, Croatia temporarily drew with England 1-1.

The two sides can only play overtime.
