Sunday, Zenit head coach's office! Ed Wo Carter is always willing to think about how the team can play better next in the office after the game!

　　 In the fifth round of the Russian Super League on Saturday, Zenit defeated the visiting Dynamo Moscow 3-0 at home and finally stopped the three unbeatable declines (there was a first leg of the Russian Cup)! And what makes Ed Wocart even more delighted is that the defensive problem has finally improved. This game completed the first zero-closing opponent of the new season!

　　 You know, this is the Russian league with an average of only 2.2 goals per game, but Zenit has conceded 7 goals in 4 league games!

　　 Different from the youth team's big killing of the Quartet, the Zenit first team, who has invested a lot of money and is aiming to win this season, encountered Waterloo in the opening stage of the Russian Super League!

　　 It’s also a coincidence that the Russian Cup entered the knockout stage in March at the beginning of the season. Before and after the opening match, Laminsk Saturn and Zenit will play three consecutive games within 10 days. Zenit will play two home games first, play the cup first and then the league. After the league, he will go to Laminsk to play the second round of the Russian Cup!

Zenit, who took the game 1-0 in the first game, was thoroughly tactically targeted in the next two games. It was fully blocked by Laminsk and two 1-1 draws. Although Zenit successfully advanced to the Cup 8 Strong, but failed to start the league journey with victory as expected!

　　 Fortunately, the second round of the game, the away scene against the weak Rostov!

　　 Zenit’s offensive players finally showed their powerful firepower, blasting 3 goals away, the offensive players played heartily, and also took away the victory! However, Edvard Carter's 433 full offensive and full defense tactics seem to have failed abnormally. The offensive performance is not effectively combined with the defensive end.

　　 Rostov actually scored two goals for Zenit at home, putting great pressure on Zenit's defense. Even if it weren't for the goalkeeper's play, the home team might not have been able to complete the 3-goal reversal!

　　 There is obviously a disconnect between offense and defense, or the players can’t fully implement Ed Wo Carter’s tactics! In order to achieve the offensive tactics before the game, the players moved forward and sacrificed their defensive position, resulting in huge loopholes in the defensive system!

　　 This is even more obvious after the national team game day!

　　 Sparta Moscow, the traditional Russian giant, defeated Zenit twice in 4 days!

　　 Zenit lost the third round of the league 1 to 3, 1 to 2 at his home court, and made the first leg of the Russian Cup 8 to 4!

In the fourth round afterwards, Amkar still besieged the opponent's defense problem. The opponent succeeded in a counterattack in the first half, which caused Zenit to get into more trouble after being unable to attack for a long time. Fortunately, Zenit The score was evened in the second half, and the two sides shook hands 1-1!

　　 But the defensive problem has become Ed Wo Carter's biggest headache now and the most urgent problem to be solved!

As a traditional Dutchman, Ed Wocart does not intend to change the offensive philosophy rooted in his bones. His work for more than half a year has clearly made Zenit’s offensive become better and better. Even in Russia, Zenet Nit should be the team with the best offense!

　　 Just like in the fifth round of the league that just ended, Zenit relied on the home court and played offensively. The players were killed by the three armies and directly defeated their opponents by offense. Because of the suppression of offense, they directly denied their defense. In the end, Dynamo Moscow, who is also one of the most powerful, was sealed!

This convinced Ed Volkart that his tactical concept was not wrong. When the tactics were perfect, Zenit could dominate the Russian Super League. After 5 rounds, Zenit was only 3 points away from the top of the list. difference.

　　 Actually, the score-scoring efficiency of the Russian Super League is too low. For the 16-team Russian Super League, the final championship team's points are hovering around 60 points all year round!

　　 A large number of 0-0, 1-0 scores flooded the 30-round Russian Super League, making the Russian Super League look very dull compared to the mainstream European leagues!

　　 In terms of defensive philosophy, Russia is the same as Italy. First, don't lose the ball. Let's talk about the rest. However, the Italian League has a wealth of tactics to crack the opposite chain defense. But when it comes to Russia, tactics or something may be a joke!

　　 What kind of tactics to the end, isn't it all due to long shots, competing with long passes!

　　 Then it depends on the luck of the offensive players!

　　 Ed Wo Carter, I hope that his arrival will not only bring Zenit the long-awaited championship trophy, but also lead the reform of technical football in the Russian Super League!

After more than half a year of leading Zenit in the Russian Super League (taking over halfway through the 2006 season), the club also asked the club to buy the three disciples led by the Korean national team and some other national players who thought they were suitable for their tactics. But now, Ed Wocart found that he still underestimated the football of Russia.

　　 Regardless of whether the opponent is strong or weak, Zenit will always face a tortoise shell, and many of them are still spiny tortoise shells.

　　 The more low-scoring leagues are, the more efficient the strikers produced will be. This is the so-called survival of the fittest. Forwards who waste opportunities will not have room for survival in Russia and Italy.

　　 Forwards in the low-scoring league, their survival criterion is to seize every shot that is hard to come by!

　　 Looking at the scorer list at this point is an alternative embodiment. Take a look at the top scorer of each season in Russia in 2000.

　　 The top scorer of 2000 was the attacking midfielder Dmitry Roskov of Lokomotiv Moscow, who only scored 15 goals.

　　 The best scorer of 2001 was FC Moscow (also called Moscow Torpedo) forward Dmitry Vazmitin, who scored 18 goals.

　　 In 2002, CSKA Moscow’s Dmitry Kirichenko only scored 15 goals.

　　 It was Dmitry Roscoff again in 2003, but he only had 14 goals, which was terribly low!

　　 The top scorer of 2004 belongs to former Zenit player Alexander Krzakov, who scored 18 goals in a single season.

　　 In 2005 it was Dmitri Kirichenko again, with 14 goals to win the Golden Boot.

　　 Pavlyuchenko of Sparta Moscow in 2006, 18 goals had the last laugh in the battle for the Golden Boot.

　　 There will always be people who say that the Russian Super League is a league where forwards collectively do not wear shooting boots, and even midfielder Dmitry Roskov can get 2 golden boots!

　　 The reason for this situation is very simple. Midfielders can rely on long shots to ensure the number of shots per game. It depends on the shooting accuracy! As for the forwards, facing the iron barrels every day, sometimes they may not even get a shot in the penalty area. This is the cruelty of the Russian league!

　　 So in Russia, if you want to play happy football, it is impossible! As long as you are happy, you can only go to the reserve team or other teams to be happy!

However, in the eyes of other Russian Super League forwards, Zenit is a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. When facing Zenit, everyone wants to use his defense that is called the biggest gap in the Russian Super League to let Your goal account is updated.

　　 Ed Wo Carter is now choosing whether to stick to his own tactics, focus on offense, and score more goals on offense. Still change yourself, adapt to the rhythm of integrating into the Russian Super League, appropriately slow down the offense, and stabilize your defense!

　　Although this is a bit deviated from my own philosophy, in terms of performance, it should be more stable!

　　 The main reason for the entanglement is that the central defender at hand cannot be alone!

Whether it is Skrtel, Norwegian international Eric Hagen, or South Korean international Li Hao, they are all the traditional central defenders suitable for playing in positional battles. Now, Zenit is mostly occupying the scene. The advantage is that they cannot prevent the opponent's counterattack!

Edvard Carter was planning to stick to a few more rounds of games. If the defense is still not guaranteed, he can only sacrifice offense or buy a suitable central defender in the summer transfer window. Anyway, Zenit has money and lacks team honors. !

　　 In this case, the report from the youth team head coach handed over by the youth training supervisor gave Ed Wocart a glimmer of light in the dark.

　　 "Yang, Feng, a Chinese!"

As the former head coach of the South Korean national team, Ed Wocart knows and understands the current football strength of the big eastern country. A young man who is not even an international footballer. Before reading the report, he thought that this person could not bring the team. help!

　　 However, after seeing Yang Feng’s monthly medical report changes since joining the team in the new year, Ed Wocart was still very bright at the time. Comparing the first physical examination and the recent physical examination, it can be seen that Yang Feng's physical fitness has improved significantly, his body fat rate has dropped rapidly, and his muscles have grown rapidly! Various body data have also been growing. It seems that professional football training has given this young man a completely new progress!

　　 At the age of 19, he was 1 meter 84, 75kg. The physical examination predicts that although the body develops earlier, should the height stay about 1 meter 89 last? The height of a central defender...

Evgeny’s report is very detailed. In addition to Yang Feng’s physical data, there are a lot of descriptions about Yang Feng’s game. Even the round performances in many youth leagues are very detailed, focusing on Yang Feng’s abnormal judgment ability, and Yang Feng's overall view of the game, as well as his ability to learn and command are also excellent. In just a few months, he can become the core of the youth team's defense as an amateur player.

It is precisely because of Yevgeny’s strong recommendation that the transfer department also has other teams’ inquiries about Yang Feng, as well as various reports of local newspapers on youth league superstar news, which makes Ed Wocart busy and watch It was a youth team game, even though his first team was going to face Dynamo Moscow at night!

　　 However, this game is worth seeing. Ed Wocart still has Yang Feng in his mind. He has stood up for the top position in advance and responded calmly to each counterattack, choosing the most reasonable method to solve the opponent's counterattack threat, and also positioning the ball as a counterattack. Yang Feng, who is the defensive benchmark, has a good impression on him with his unmoving stability!

　　 "I hope my decision is not wrong, don't you become the Pavin of the year!"

　　 "Hey! I'm Ed Wo Carter, help me find the youth team coach Yevgeny!"
