Football’s First Defender
Chapter 19: Maka!
Just when Yang Feng received Boll’s solo coaching at the training ground, Zenit also started his own road trip!
At the home court of Sparta Moscow, Zenit is in a tough fight!
1 to 2 defeat at home in the first round, so Zenit had to continue to stick to his offensive tactics in the away game, even if it would expose his back defense to the opponent's efficient shooters!
However, the situation is forced, Ed Wo Carter decided to give up his life, but before the game, he quietly warned himself in his heart, if this is still a failure, then it is time to change his tactics first!
As soon as the game started, Zenit launched another onslaught!
But after all, not long ago, there had been two rounds of battle. Sparta Moscow continued to follow the tactics that had been proven successful before, shrinking the defense at home and making a defensive counterattack with peace of mind!
In this game, Zenit’s strongest attacking combination at this stage are all on the field. Tymoshchuk is dispatched in the midfield. Denisov and Zhiyanov have alternate impacts on the two wingers. The top is the most. In front is the extremely strong Pogrebnyak, behind him is Arshavin who is a free man, and the two full-backs Jin Dongjin and Anukov are also ready to plug in support at any time, the midfielder Fernandorik Sen can also come forward and take a long shot!
It can be said that, except for the two central defenders who were unable to attack forward in the sports battle, Zenit is all people with offensive attributes, especially Arshavin in the midfield. As the "new tsar" of Russian football, Edvo Carter is full of confidence in him!
At the beginning of the game, Pogrebnyak in the penalty area got an excellent opportunity. Arshavin successfully got rid of the opposing defensive player on the wing, and the ball was passed at 45 degrees, and the ball accurately found the inside of the penalty area. Pogrebnyak.
The latter relied on a strong body, directly pushed the opponent's center back, jumped up and shook his head to attack the goal. This header is powerful and the angle is not bad, but it’s a pity that the header is a bit far away from the goal, giving the goalkeeper plenty of reaction time. The goalkeeper leaped high, leaned sideways with a single palm, and lifted the ball out of the crossbar. A beautiful save!
After Zenit, the siege continued unabated. Arshavin, Timoshchuk, Fernando Rickson and even Jin Dongjin took turns to test the opponent's goalkeeper with long shots, but unfortunately they couldn't score!
In the case of a large number of long-range shots to no avail, Zenit had to go back to the old way of passing from the side, hoping that Pogrebnyak in the penalty area could rely on his own body to complete the goal!
However, the "Boshen", who was marked by the two, was obviously dragged into the mud of physical confrontation by the opponent and could not get out. Facing the pilling from the side, he could only grab a little bit and point the ball down. There was little chance to be directly. Attack the door.
But there is a fulcrum in the penalty area, which is better than nothing. At least Arshavin has got a second chance. Arshavin shot directly at the ball, the ball flew straight to the dead corner, but unfortunately the goalkeeper leaped hard, his finger touched the football slightly, and finally the ball hit the post. All the home fans were scared into cold sweat!
After , pay more attention to protecting the home team of the second place, making Zenit's excellent shooting opportunities less and less!
When you are impatient, it is an excellent opportunity for your opponent. On the football field, the essence of the so-called defensive counterattack is a fatal counterattack!
Sparta Moscow obviously has this way.
After 30 minutes of fierce attack on Zenit, but nothing achieved, when the players began to be impatient, Sparta Moscow finally showed his fangs, exactly the same as two weeks ago!
First, Zenit’s wing transfer was interrupted, and then it was directly thrown into the huge gap in Zenit’s backcourt. Since the midfielder Fernando Rickson has already been inserted into the attack, the entire defense has only 2 central defenders. , The two full-backs are also rushing back, but obviously the players of the home team have the advantage of position, Zenit's full-backs can only eat tail ash!
Scott directly stepped forward to fight, while Eric Hagen dragged his huge body and wanted to retreat "fast"!
Originally intending to put a yellow card and foul to stop the opponent's Scotter, when he rushed to the position, he found that he was too late. The home team player ran to the position first and had already passed the ball directly to the front. In front of Eric Hagen, the home team's forward No. 9 Nikov is inserting into this gap. Although he has Eric Hagen blocked in front and Jin Dongjin chases after him, the distance is too far. Sufficient time to adjust and proceed to the next step!
Skrtel still smashed into it. Even though it was meaningless, the referee noticed the physical contact here, but still kept his hands straight forward. "Good for offense!" However, it should be unavoidable to make a yellow card afterwards. !
Nikov successfully won the football 35 meters in front of the goal, and then proceeded with the trend. Eric Hagen wanted to step forward and interfere, but the flexibility of the two sides was obviously not at the same level. The physique of the Norwegian central defender was really not flexible. , Was directly deceived by a fake action, and then was cleaned, single-handedly!
In the Russian game, getting a single-handed opportunity is like a Chinese New Year. Nikov, who has excellent shooting skills, will not miss this opportunity. He shot directly with a kick and the ball flew into the dead corner. The goalkeeper Contefar Ski had no choice but Nikov penetrated the goal again! (Several were scored in the game two weeks ago...)
1 to 0, Sparta Moscow took the lead at home!
"Fuck..." Ed Wo Carter on the sidelines was so angry!
fell behind in the away game again, and now it takes two goals to get into overtime, but there is not only the solid shell on the opposite side, but also the sharp counterattack. Ed Wocart has a headache!
At the end of the half game, 1-0, Zenit’s Russian Cup seems to have come to an end!
During the intermission, Ed Wocart rarely lost his temper, but still arranged the tactics of breaking the barrel, and replaced Fernando Rickson with Tektronix, preparing for double forwards, and scoring the ball from the side!
It’s just a pity that the home team Spartan Moscow seemed to have prepared the counter tactics in advance. After seeing Tek on the field, the opposing coach immediately replaced him with a central defender. For a time, Spartan’s penalty area was filled with long men and passed the ball from the side. Sometimes the pass is good, but after a strong physical confrontation, even if Zenit's players can grab the chance to header, but the action has been significantly deformed, and there is no threat to the goal at all!
And as the second half of the game progressed, the home team, with a total score of 3-1, didn't even have the final chance to counterattack. It was another midfielder who replaced the scoring hero Nikov. The home team intends to defend to the end!
But facing the iron barrel formation of this tall Marathon player, Zenit really doesn't have much to do. Although the two sides can guarantee the output of firepower, the players in the middle cannot make effective shots at all!
Ed Wo Carter has already sent Scotter, who is good at headers, forward, but apart from making the opponent's penalty area more crowded, he still hasn't had a great chance so far!
Most of the bottoms, crosses or ties, were cleared first by the home team with the largest number of players in the penalty area. The remaining opportunities, under the interference of physical confrontation, are rarely effective shots. 1 The score of 0 has continued!
At the moment of desperation, Arshavin stood up.
One kick the world wave! Facing the opponent's header to clear the ball, without waiting for the opposing defender to pounce, the ball was volleyed directly, the ball was powerful, the ball turned into a weird parabola, passed the crowd in front of the goal, and hit the dead corner!
The goalkeeper of Spartak Moscow didn't have time to react, and the goal was scored! 1 to 1, one goal short!
But unfortunately, in the last 10 minutes, no hero appeared to save Zenit. Zenit made various long shots and shot for 10 minutes, but he did nothing. The two rounds were 2 to 3 and stopped in the Russian Cup. Top 8!
This defeat allowed Ed Wo Carter to completely give up the offensive tactics he has always insisted on. At least the current defensive system cannot support the offensive tactics he admired.
"Do you want to change? Should you defend first?"
After repairing Zenit in Moscow for one night, the next day I took a non-stop Aeroflot flight to Vladivostok, a 10-hour direct flight...
A full 10 hours of long-distance flight, on the plane, Ed Wo Carter finally made up his mind to seal up his ideas first, proceed from reality, focus on defense, and then attack!
In addition, after 10 hours of flying by the players, UU reading www.uukanshu.com arrived at the place, and even adjusted the jet lag. The physical condition was very poor! In this case, it is not easy to make a smooth attack!
"From the beginning of this game, in addition to the striker who stayed in the frontcourt, everyone else must participate in the defense. The offense does not need to pursue speed anymore. It is only necessary to pursue efficiency and control. The backcourt must retain enough defensive personnel to ensure If you don't concede a goal, go attack again!"
Training before the game, looking at the tactics on the Edvor Carter tactical board, many players couldn't help but sigh. The coach who insisted on his own philosophy for half a year finally chose to "combine with each other" with the Russian Super League!
However, the effect is really obvious!
Facing Ruengia, who was almost at the bottom of the Russian Super League, Zenit, with Denisov's goal, steadily took away 3 points from the away game 1-0!
The offensive players in this game generally did not perform well due to physical conditions, but they still made enough contributions on the defensive end.
Relying on Denisov's personal ability in the second half, he forcibly penetrated the home team's defense line and successfully shot in the penalty area, 1 to 0, a most affordable score!
After a long flight and transfer to Moscow, the Zenit team, who had been wandering for a week, finally returned home!
Ed Wo Carter also took a special holiday until Wednesday and came back for training.
After it was the weekend league again.
In the guest scene against Tomsk, Zenit relied on Arshavin's goal, 1-0, which was very affordable and took away 3 points!
The entire Russian Super League team suddenly discovered that the forward spree Zenit suddenly changed his style and played defense!
After the change of his tactics, the team immediately won 2 consecutive victories and lost 0 goals. Ed Wo Carter unconsciously wanted to say "It's so fragrant!!!"
