"This is Johannesburg, South Africa. Directly behind us is the Alice Park Arena. On June 12, that is, five days later, we will face Bosnia and Herzegovina here. Judging from the public training situation yesterday, the Croatian boys' The condition is very good, but Vukojevic's current injury does not seem to have fully recovered, but fortunately Suker, Modric, Mandzukic, Rakitic and other major players do not have any injuries. It’s the boys’ first World Cup trip.”

Facing the camera, Krausiewicz excitedly introduced everything here.

As the official commentator of Croatia, he served as the advance team and arrived in South Africa in advance to promote the World Cup.

Although the World Cup has not yet started, there is already a heated atmosphere throughout South Africa, and everyone is waiting for the opening game of the World Cup on June 11.

After Krausiewicz completed the first day of interviews, he slowly put down the microphone in his hand.

He took off the sun protection clothing distributed by the organizer and shook the collar to fan himself.

"It's so hot here!"

Although it was hard to report on the field under the scorching sun, Krausiewicz felt very happy.

After all, it feels great to wait for the World Cup to start.

The most important thing is that this time they are no longer spectators of the World Cup, but join in it.

"Let's go get a glass of cold juice!"

The photographer was also sweating profusely from the heat.

The two hit it off immediately and came to a drinking bar with a thatched roof.

This is a unique store in South Africa. The black shop assistants wear jerseys with various national teams and grass skirts on their lower bodies, running back and forth.

At the door, there is an eye-catching board with the group stage schedule for fans and tourists to watch.

Perhaps seeing that Krausiewicz was a Croatian, a black waiter wearing a Croatian jersey handed over two portions of ice-cold watermelon juice.

"Suke! Great!"

The black waiter put the drink on the table, then grinned again, showing his white teeth, and said Suk's name in broken English.

For any Croatian, the name Suker is already their absolute pride.

Krausiewicz was also in a good mood and tipped him directly.

The black waiter happily praised Suk again and again, and Kraushiwicz became even more happy.

"Look, everyone knows Suk." Krauszovich said proudly.

Croatia was definitely a little transparent in the past.

Even though there are people like Dawo Suker, the country is too small and Davo Suker is not very famous, so he cannot call for his country!

But Su Ke is different.

In addition to the World Cup honors, Su Ke now almost crushes his predecessors in other aspects.

At the same time, Su Ke is currently the most famous superstar in the entire football world.

Due to Suker's influence, Croatia has also received a lot of attention.

Just like now, who dares to underestimate Croatia!

Their butts are bruised!

Suck yo yo!

Ice-cold watermelon juice enters the stomach.

The sweet and cold feeling spread from the chest to the abdomen, and the heat in the entire body was also dissipated.

Phew~~~

Krausiewicz let out a breath of cold air and said with a smile: "I really hope the game starts soon!"

Photographer: “I can’t wait to see what the boys do!”

"me too!"

Krausiewicz nodded.

At this time, violent cheers began to be heard not far away.

The cheers came from far to near, and soon, the fans of Bosnia and Herzegovina came into view.

The parade team of about 300 people kept chanting slogans and marched around the stadium.

After another five minutes, the Argentinian fan parade also came over, with a larger number of people.

However, the largest number of people is the Croatian fan team.

'go ahead! Croatia! ’

‘We are the grid army! ’

'go ahead! Croatia! ’

‘We are the grid army! ’

Amidst loud slogans, a team of thousands of people swaggered through the city.

In fact, some scattered Croatian fans in the surrounding area immediately put on their own jerseys and joined in, and the number of people was increasing.

"Croatia! Croatia! Croatia!"

When Krausiewicz and the photographer saw their own people, they stood up excitedly and kept shouting loudly.

After a while, the cheers began to change, from Croatia to 'Suk'.

Suk! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

Suk! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

Suk! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

A huge parade of Croatian fans chanted Suker's name. In the hot atmosphere, local fans were also infected and joined in.

"This is great!"

Klawsiewicz shouted until his throat almost smoked.

The whole person was dripping with sweat.

He drank the ice-cold watermelon juice in one gulp.

At this moment, a square of fans with the national emblem printed with a white Tai Chi pattern came over.

The number of people was not small, but it was far less enthusiastic than before.

Krausiewicz looked askance at the group of Koreans and let out a soft 'poof'.

The Bosnia and Herzegovina national team arrived in Johannesburg on the 7th.

After they settled in the hotel where they were staying, they immediately began to prepare for the war.

Soon, they discovered that the first day of public training attracted the attention of many media reporters.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is not a strong team, and there are no so-called super star players in the team, so it should not receive such attention.

"So many people!"

Boamme took advantage of the opportunity to pick up the ball, turned to Sterk and said, "Are we so famous?"

"It should have something to do with Croatia." Sterk sighed: "Why were we grouped with them in the group stage?"

Sterk and others really want to challenge old teammates like Suker and Modric.

But it’s not the group stage!

Croatia is one of the top teams that are favorites to win the World Cup.

There is also Argentina in the same group. Wouldn’t this cost their lives?

"What are you afraid of? Just play the high ball and leave the goal to me." Suk Bazic said with confidence.

The World Cup qualifiers gave him confidence to play.

What's more, entering the World Cup, you have to perform well no matter what.

"Don't forget, Croatia also has a 190cm high school defender." Dzeko grinned.

Suk Bazic; "I am only two meters tall, are you afraid of him?"

Sterk complained: "Suke used to say he was 170 centimeters tall, but in fact he was only 165 centimeters!"

"I'm different from him!" Suk Bazqi waved his hand and said with an annoyed look.

Boamé: "It's different. I already have two Golden Balls and one World Footballer."

Suk Bazic: "Whose side are you on?"

"Of course I will support you."

"That's pretty much it."

"But..." Boamme sighed; "We met Croatia in the first game. That guy Suker will be so happy."

Dzeko walked over curiously and asked, "Is his character so bad?"

Most of Dzeko's understanding of Suker comes from teammates such as Boamé and Sterk.

The rest is media propaganda.

But the media propaganda and the Suk described by these two people are completely different people.

"Believe me." Sterk said seriously; "He will only break through your cognition."

"However, we are not idle either," Sterk looked at Boamme with joy and said, "Show them something awesome!"

Boame smiled too.

"I'm already looking forward to Suk's open-mouthed look of surprise!"

It’s not just Suker and Modric who have grown up.

They have also grown a lot.

Moreover, Sterk and Boamé have also mastered some special skills and plan to show them well in the game.

As the 2010 World Cup approaches, various news spreads from South Africa to other parts of the world.

The first is the coverage of major star players.

"Croatia is preparing intensively for the game, Suker is still in hot form! 》

"Argentina's gorgeous striker, Maradona joins hands with Messi to create Argentina's second dynasty? 》

"Kaká leads Brazil in preparing for the World Cup. Five-star Brazil has dominance in the group! 》

"Ronaldo leads Portugal's golden generation to officially debut in the 2010 World Cup!" 》

"Raul serves as a substitute, Del Bosque adheres to the coach's tactical policy!" 》

"Germany's young generation is rising!" 》

All kinds of news are flying all over the world.

Especially the news about these top players is endless.

Of course, the World Cup is indispensable without the coverage of the major ‘wives groups’.

Among them, the English Wives Group is the most famous.

Croatia is a bit difficult to use in this regard. When Suk and Gisele Bundchen were dating, there were some topics, but as they broke up, the Croatian wives group became less topical.

But what’s interesting is that Anne Hathaway posted a photo wearing Croatia’s No. 9 jersey on her personal account, claiming that she is a fan of Suker.

This also caused many media to start hyping up the ambiguous relationship between Su Ke and Anne Hathaway.

Neither of them responded further.

It wasn’t until two days later that the Croatian boba group appeared.

This is a group composed of Croatian supermodels. They wear denim shorts and jerseys that are very tight and tied around the waist to show off their proud figures.

Among them, many Croatian supermodels openly expressed their love for Su Ke, but Su Ke still did not show any expression.

But what is surprising is that Anne Hathaway actually released the news again.

A sexy outfit photo with text below.

‘Die bitch! ’

It is hard to imagine that Anne Hathaway would make such a straightforward statement, but many people encouraged Anne Hathaway to seduce Suk.

In this regard, Anne Hathaway did not make any response.

"How did you get involved with her?" Modric asked in surprise.

First it was Gisele Bundchen, and now it’s Anne Hathaway.

What type of women does Suk attract?

"What do you care about, let's play the game well first."

During the game, Suker no longer cares about any off-field factors. He needs to devote himself to the game.

Compared with these, it is more important to swipe more cards.

This is the World Cup held every four years!

The rewards of the European Cup have been quite rich.

Su Ke is looking forward to which part of the World Cup will get the diamond card.

He was thinking about [Ronaldinho's sense of the ball] and [Kaká's awareness], whether these cards could be used.

Su Ke is quite looking forward to this.

By the way, you also need to brush up on set pieces!

With cheers and cheers, and under the gaze of countless eyes, June 11 finally arrived, the day the World Cup started in South Africa.

The opening ceremony is divided into four chapters: "Calling", "African Blood", "United Africa" ​​and "United World".

In "The Call", African poets chanted Africa's oldest hymns, and 270 women responded while walking and singing, forming several ribbons pointing from the center of the venue to other host cities.

A giant "Beetle" pushes the game ball to demonstrate football skills, and different styles of African fabrics form the shapes of the five continents.

Footprint patterns first appeared in Africa and then moved to different continents.

Artists from other African countries also had the opportunity to perform on stage, singing and dancing around a bonfire representing another side of Africa.

Different opening ceremony, same passion.

People ended their four-year wait at the opening ceremony and were fully prepared to enjoy the game.

15:00 Croatian time.

Since it is a working day and there is no game in Croatia, there is no vacation.

But even so, people at work were not interested in working. They gathered in front of the TV one by one, and many of them were even led by leaders to watch the opening ceremony together.

For Croatia, they have already missed the World Cup once.

This is the first World Cup in eight years, so they naturally have to watch it from beginning to end.

Not just the Croatian games, but other games as well.

The opening ceremony lasted for a full hour, and soon came the opening game.

South Africa, the host nation, faces Mexico.

At this moment, all national teams gathered together to watch the opening game and feel the atmosphere of the game in advance.

The World Cup is the World Cup.

The passion is unmatched by other events.

As the camera turned, African people in strange costumes and a team of Mexican fans could be seen in the stands.

Trumpets, cheers, whistles, applause, etc. These images never stopped after the camera cut to the playing field.

Especially with the fierce shouting of the commentator, everyone's heart was pounding.

Suker saw Modric place his right hand quietly on his heart.

The others' faces were also flushed with excitement.

Just watching these games, they are already so nervous. What would it be like to stand on the court?

“South Africa attacked so fiercely!”

Duimovic did not blink and said with a sigh: "But the efficiency of this goal is too low."

Mandzukic; "As a guy who likes to shoot wildly, how qualified are you to say that someone else's scoring efficiency is low?"

Seeing that the two of them were about to start fighting again, Sirna quickly said, "Okay, please be serious and stop arguing."

Hearing this, Duimovich glared: "I'll give Srna face."

Mandzukic shrugged.

Modric also looked at the game and said: "It's very unstable!"

Suker; "After all, it's the opening game, so it's strange to be stable. I'm most excited at this time, but South Africa attacks too hard. If they can't pry open Mexico's goal, they will encounter a counterattack."

As soon as the words fell, Mexico suddenly seized the opportunity to counterattack and Dos Santos handled the ball.

In an instant, the entire Mexican team ran forward.

"coming!"

Su Ke's heart trembled.

Mexico had six defenders in the half, and only Torado was responsible for delivering the ball in the midfield.

This is pure defensive counterattack.

On the counterattack end, the two full-backs will immediately move forward, and a six-man counterattack team can be organized in an instant.

Mexico's counterattack was quick, but its final kick was a little worse.

After receiving a pass from his teammate, Mexico's No. 9 center Franco kicked the ball into the stands.

"Oh~~~~~~"

"What kind of stinky feet are these!"

"He wasted this opportunity!"

"If it were Suk, he would have entered already!"

The Croatian players shook their heads and complained.

However, based on this attack, they once again realized their forward's terrifying ability to seize opportunities.

As they say, if it were Croatia, this counterattack would have already resulted in a goal.

This time the counterattack made the South African players break out in a cold sweat.

Throughout the first half, both sides failed to score any goals.

However, the offensive and defensive rhythm is very fast, which is extremely refreshing to watch.

"South Africa's problem is that they have no breakthrough ability in the face of Mexico's dense defense. They lack technical players in a small area, and they also do not have the superb ability to score goals from set pieces. They can only try to hit the goal from long range."

"In terms of tactics, Mexico played better. They were defensive throughout the first half. Facing South Africa's fierce attack, they only needed to withstand it to form a better counterattack in the second half!"

"South Africa wants a quick victory, while Mexico wants to extend the front!"

Van Steyak explained from the front.

Everyone was suddenly enlightened when they heard this.

"But in the face of this pressure, can Mexico withstand it?" Suker asked.

Van Steyak turned his head; "So what if they can't hold it? They have no better way. In terms of mobility, they are naturally unable to compare with the black players in South Africa. So all they can do is defend and counterattack. This is The limitations of the lineup!”

"The midfielder didn't have an excellent transition between attack and defense and lost the ball, and there was no decisive player on the front line."

Van Steyak shook his head: "This World Cup is going to be difficult for Mexico! How can they play against Uruguay and France?"

Su Ke said silently;

"Perhaps France has more hips?"

This is also true. France in this World Cup was directly eliminated from the group stage.

After Zidane retired, France did not recover for a long time.

Until the 2018 World Cup, the turtle was born!

Van Steyak's grasp of the situation is very sharp.

In the 55th minute of the second half, South Africa scored a goal with a fierce attack and took the lead.

But in the 89th minute, Mexico slowed down South Africa's attack and completed a counterattack to equalize the score.

In the end, in the opening game, the host South Africa drew with Mexico 1:1, and the two sides shook hands and settled for a draw.

At the end of the game, the Croatian players also stood up one after another, their faces becoming solemn.

Vansteyak also stood up slowly.

"The opening game is over, tomorrow is our game!"

In the second game tomorrow, Croatia will face Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Van Steyak said solemnly; "Get your first victory!"

Everyone shouted: "Winning the first victory!"
