At 21:00 pm on June 13, Beijing time, in the first round of the group D of the European Cup group stage, England will stage a strong showdown with Croatia ! England is the most valuable team in this European Cup, while Croatia is the runner-up team in the 2018 World Cup. In Russia, Croatia beat England to enter the World Cup final arena, which makes this game more interesting!
Before every competition, England was a popular team to win the championship, but most of the time England failed to meet the expectations of fans before the game. 2018 Russia World Cup advance to the top 4 is the best result England has achieved in the competition in the past 20 to 30 years! In this European Cup, England is the team with the highest overall value in the German transfer market. England, which has hot superstars such as Kane , Sterling, Sancho , has a total value of 1.25 billion euros. England, with superstars in the frontcourt, has undoubtedly become the favorite team to win the European Cup again!
Although England is the most valuable team in this European Cup, stars are basically gathered on the forward line. Harry Kane , Sterling, Sancho, Rashford , Foden and other forward players basically account for nearly half of the team's total value, and the overall value of the defense line all day long does not reach Harry Kane's value, which leads to the team being a little overweight: a team with sufficient striker may be very sharp in offense, but the team's defense may not be stable enough! Of course, if the forward line can be maintained efficient enough, the poor defense will not prevent the England team from passing the mark!
Croatia's net worth is only 9th among the 24 participating teams, Croatia, which has veteran stars such as Modric , Perisic, and Kovasic , is definitely a strong team. It almost reached the top of the championship in the 2018 World Cup! The coach of Croatia's ability to have such a beautiful record in the World Cup has made an indelible contribution: from World Cup qualifiers facing the key to taking over the team on the verge of elimination, to Russia's invincibility and reaching the finals, Dalic has created a miracle in Croatian football history!
If Dalic is the commander of the sidelines of the Croatian field, then veterans such as Modric, Perisic, and Kovasic are the decisive needles on the Croatian field: these experienced veterans use their rich experience and skillful ball skills to firmly help the team control the rhythm of the midfield on the court, and patiently find opportunities to give their opponent a fatal blow! In the World Cup, they used this style of play to cross the game and made the history of Croatia!
Since entering 2021, England has maintained a total of 5 wins in all competitions, but they have not won a lot. Except for one game facing the bottom team San Marino , the other 4 wins are within 2 goals, while Croatia has only achieved 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in 5 games, and overall the condition is not very good! From this point of view, England's condition is undoubtedly better. If England can maintain its state in this game, the probability of winning will be greater!
In the 2018 Russian World Cup semi-finals, England and Croatia fought hard, and it was not until overtime that the winner was decided, and Croatia became the team that laughed to the end! The loss in England also left the striker Harry Kane in a grudge: "That game still makes us feel grudged. We will focus on this game and stop them from posing a threat to us, while working to create offensive opportunities."Whether England can complete revenge in this battle is worth looking forward to!
This game is a rare European Cup match held at 21:00 Beijing time. Chinese fans can watch it without staying up late. CCTV Sports Channel CCTV5 will broadcast the team game live! Which team do you think more is better? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to share your views!
