Lead:
The group stage of the European Championship is in full swing, and the changes in Group B are dizzying.
The result of the duel between Spain and Albania was like an unexpected dawn, which left Croatia, which was in a desperate situation, still alive.
However, if Croatia wants to successfully break through, the road ahead is full of thorns, the four harsh conditions are indispensable, and the situation of its qualification is very difficult, even far more than the national football team of the year, what kind of thrilling battle is this?
First, a faint glimmer of light
In the final match of the group stage, Spain and Albania met in a narrow way.
Before the game, Albania was widely considered to be almost helpless against the mighty Spain.
However, the Spanish team, which is already firmly in the top spot, has made a large rotation of the lineup, but its substitutes have no intention of slacking off.
Just 13 minutes into the game, Laporte's delicate diagonal pass, Olmo's clever through ball, Ferran Torres's decisive push – a series of brilliant combinations broke the deadlock for Spain in an instant.
In the end, the Spanish team kept the score 1-0 until the end.
This score was like a life-saving straw, allowing Croatia's flame of hope to burn weakly.
Second, the absolute peace on the edge of broken dreams
At the same moment, on the other field, Croatia and Italy had a thrilling matchup.
Luka Modric's brilliant goal in the 55th minute of the second half gave Croatia a glimpse of the road to advancement.
However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, in the final moments of stoppage time, Italy's Zaccagni descended like a miracle soldier and equalized Croatia from heaven to hell.
This draw made Croatia's originally tangible hopes of promotion come to naught in an instant.
3. Near-desperate qualifying conditions
Croatia's current record is only two points, and the goal difference is even less than three, and the situation can be described as dangerous.
Hungary, who finished third in Group A, Austria who finished third in Group D, and a number of teams from Group E are already well ahead of Croatia with three points.
If Croatia want to qualify, they must pray that all four conditions are met.
First, England need to beat Slovenia by more than three goals by a landslide.
England's attacking performance in the first two games was like a snail's crawl, and the strategy of "small wins is safe" dominated, and to achieve such a big victory is tantamount to a dream.
Second, Denmark must defeat Serbia.
The two teams are evenly matched, and it is difficult to predict who will die, and Denmark will have to go through a tough battle if they want to win.
Again, Portugal had to defeat Georgia.
With Portugal under pressure and Georgia putting up a desperate resistance, the outcome of this clash is in suspense.
In the end, Turkey had to prevail over the Czechs. Both sides will do their best, and the intensity of this battle can be imagined.
Epilogue:
Croatia's path to qualification is full of uncertainties and difficulties, and the chances of these four conditions being met are slim.
But the world of football has always been full of wonders, and perhaps at some inadvertent moment, the gears of fate will quietly turn.
Dear readers, do you think Croatia can change its fortune and make it through?
We look forward to your valuable insights in the comment area, and let's wait for this battle of fate!
