Football’s First Defender
Chapter 25: Fierce competition (2)
Ed Vokat and CSKA Moscow’s head coach Gasayev, facing the situation on the field, both moved around the sidelines with anxiety!
Gasayev is worried about the opponent's offensive firepower that is the best in Russia. After all, the more offensive the team, the greater the probability of scoring when they get the opportunity to counterattack defensively! Now that his team, with such a fierce attack, will inevitably have loopholes in the defense, it may be time to adjust the rhythm of the team and let the players relax!
Ed Wo Carter knows his family's affairs, watching the home team surrounding him is a fierce attack, worried about his team's defense, can he really hold it? Before the game, I wanted to give up the ball and let the opponent attack at home. Then he could use the space behind him to have enough room for manipulation! But now, there is an empty space, but Zenit's counterattack is very few, the opponent's offense is too fierce, some of his own players are suppressed! Maybe? Change tactics? Fight against each other?
The football field is changing rapidly. Just as the coaches of both sides are thinking about changing tactics over time, the game finally ushered in a turning point!
"Just now right winger Milos Krasic’s pass from the bottom successfully caused chaos in Zenit’s penalty area. Under the interference of home team forward Lowe, Skrtel had to choose a safe method and direct the ball. After hitting the bottom line, CSKA won the third corner of the game!"
"Zilkov is here to take a corner kick!"
"Hurry up!"
"This is a tactical short corner kick!"
"It was Sergey who came to catch the ball!"
"But..."
"No more complicated tactics!"
"Sergey Schemark (because the central defender is Sergei Ignacevic, so it is not accurate to use Sergey to call Schemark in the previous article) directly to the high ball, this ball is..."
"After the point!"
"The players on both sides of the penalty area are vying for a position that they think is advantageous!"
"The ball flew to Scotter!"
"The Russian international, the main central defender of the CSKA, Ignashevich is making a fierce card position with Skrtel!"
"Take off!"
"This ball!"
"The goal is scored! The goal is scored! GOAL... Ignacevic!"
"In the 23rd minute of the game, CSKA at home played a corner kick. The central defender, Ignacevic, who stepped forward to participate in the attack, scored with a header. The score is now 1-0!"
"But..."
"The Zenit players are obviously dissatisfied with the goal just now. They are surrounding the referee to ask for an explanation!"
"Especially Skrtel, who is in charge of defending Ignacevic, looks very excited now!"
"Let's take a look at the replay first..."
"There is absolutely no offside problem with this ball. While passing the ball, Zenit still has players guarding the goalpost!"
"Then the ball came to the back point, and Skrtel and Ignacevic took off at the same time!"
"We can see that Ignacevic does have a pressing action behind him, and it is possible to use this action to make himself jump higher than Scotter, and limit Scotter's jump! "
"No wonder Scott is so excited, now it seems that he must think that the opponent fouled first! This goal should be invalid!"
"Then naturally Ignacevic headed towards the ball and hit the goal. It was too close to the goal. Malafeyev had reacted, but he still did not touch the ball!"
"Now it's up to the referee to decide!"
"The referee is communicating with the linesman!"
"The CSKA Moscow players who were celebrating just now also hurriedly surrounded the referee to put pressure on the referee's decision!"
"Now Roberto Rossetti from Italy has become the one who decides the fate of both teams on the field!"
"Hand pointed to the kick-off point in the middle circle! The ball worked! CSKA Moscow has a 1-0 lead at the Luzhniki Stadium!"
"We can hear that the Luzhniki Stadium burst into huge cheers. The 80,000 home team fans once again cheered their team's goal. This time they can cheer with confidence!"
"The broadcast footage was also given to the VIP seats. We can see that the first person in Russia today, like ordinary fans, is cheering for CSKA Moscow's goal, and Mr. May, beside him, is somewhat helpless. !"
"Also, Roberto Rossetti gave Scotter a yellow card, probably because Scotter was so excited when he made the statement!"
"Zenit not only lost the first goal in the away game 0 to 1, but the main defender Scotter received a yellow card in 25 minutes, and the subsequent games will definitely be fearful!"
"The home team took the lead in breaking the deadlock. I believe Zenit must change tactics afterwards. The game is developing in a more and more attractive direction..."
Gasayev was extremely happy because of this goal. Being able to take the lead first, not only gave an explanation to his fans, but also completed the most important part of tactics before the game, and was the first to score! After that, you can continue to give them heavy blows against Zenit's weaknesses!
"According to the pre-match tactics, now it is our turn to play defensive counterattack!"
Gasayev, shouting to the players, conveying his tactical purpose to the field!
The players also know very well that in this level of competition, staring at the opponent’s weakness and hitting fiercely, yes, you must hit seven inches! And Zenit's seven inches! It is the defensive line that basically does not exist after they attacked!
On the other side of the venue, Ed Wocart clearly felt that he had been abandoned by the world!
"I fell behind in the game again o(╥﹏╥)o"
Ed Wo Carter feels that it has been a long time since he took the lead in the game. For those weak opponents, it is not terrible to be behind by one goal, but this is CSKA Moscow, or on the away game!
"It really gave me a problem!"
"According to the tactics formulated before the game, there is a limited attack, don't let all the first half, we have time, don't worry, 0 to 1 is not the end of the world!"
The Zenit players on the field, after receiving specific instructions from the head coach, finally came to a sense of relief, unlike when they were just scored!
It's impossible to defend and counterattack with peace of mind, and the CSKA players will not be so stupid, they will attack like just now, regardless of the rear defense. attack! It is the only choice in front of Zenit, to rely on offense to get the game back to the same starting line!
"We clearly see that after taking the lead in the score, CSKA did not maintain the offensive posture that it was good at at home as before. Instead, like other teams, it aimed at Zenit's attack when he came out. Defensive loopholes played the defensive counterattack that Zenit hates most!"
"And sitting on Joao and Lowe, two Brazilians who are good at counterattack, I believe Zenit's defense must be careful and careful. The strength of these two Brazilians may be better than the opponents they encountered before. Faster and stronger!"
"Although the Zenit team has given up the defensive tactics at the beginning of the game and began to focus on advancing to the opponent's frontcourt, it clearly feels a bit of a rat avoidance. The two full-backs, Anyukov and Jin Dongjin, and the back The waist Ziryanov is a little fearful and dare not participate too much in the team's offense like in previous games!"
"But!"
"There is a fiery Arshavin, maybe it's the confidence that Andy Vokart dares to use so few people to try to break through the Russian national team's defense line!"
"It was just a direct connection between Tymoshchuk and Arshavin. After Arshavin took the ball, he broke directly into the penalty area. Although the Russian international defender Vasily Berezusky wanted to come forward to make up for it, but Arshavin still completed a kick before he succeeded in filling the position."
"Unfortunately, the CSKA goal is guarded by Russia's first national goal Akinfeev. Facing Arshavin's angle is not a tricky shot. Akinfeev held it firmly!"
………………
"It's Zenit's offensive opportunity again!"
"This time it was Dominguez and Arshavin's cooperation on the wing. Arshavin sent a beautiful through pass. Dominguez successfully got it, and there was no interference from defenders!”
"Domingsgo adjusted directly and passed it to the penalty area!"
"Pogrebnyak and Denisov outflank the penalty area at the same time!"
"Any chance?"
"Pogrebnyak!"
"Header!"
"The top is high!"
"Under the interference of Ignacevic, Pogrebnyak did not seize the opportunity to equalize Zenit!"
………………
The game changed another anxious way. Zenit relied on his excellent offensive combination of several players in the frontcourt. Although he could also create some opportunities, he could not get an excellent shot opportunity and could not successfully equalize the score! And the home team CSKA, because Zenit's rear defense also retains enough defensive personnel, while taking care of its own defense, the CSKA counterattack will not cause too much threat!
"It's the last 10 minutes of the first half! Start the half-time total offense! Try to score a goal before the end of the half!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity to serve out the ball, Ed Wocart called the commander Tymoshchuk on the field and asked him to instruct his teammates to launch a more intense offensive for 10 minutes!
"Zenit has stepped up his offense again!"
"At the end of the half-time with 10 minutes, Zenit will finally show their true offensive prowess. The game has a chance for both sides! Now it depends on whether Zenit's spear is better or the home team can take the opportunity. It penetrated Zenit's shield again!"
"Anyukov is coming up! With Denisov on the sidewalk, and Arshavin who approached, we played a small-scale cooperation on the sidewalk!"
"Arshavin again!"
"After successfully getting the ball inside and cutting, attracting most defenses! With a flick of an ankle, the ball was distributed to Denisov in the bottom!"
"This is a gap!"
"Denisov is not offside!"
"Did you kick the door directly?"
"Denisov hit the door directly from a small angle!"
"The ball was blocked by Akinfeev, and the ball was exchanged for a corner kick!"
"But Pogrebnyak in front of the door is obviously a little dissatisfied with Denisov's direct kick. He is waving to Denisov and shouting something~lightnovelpub.net~ maybe complaining about him. Why not pass the ball!"
"Corner chance! Zenit's two central defenders also came forward to fight for the top!"
"The corner kick was sent! The ball flew to the front point of the penalty area! Yang Feng's position!"
"But Alexei Berezusky is following him"
"Alexey Berezuski, who played right back in this game, has the same strength as his twin brothers as a central defender at the international level. This goal was directly knocked out by Alexei Berezuski. Up!"
In this game, CSKA sent the Berezuski brothers to the back line at the same time. As twin brothers, both of them are the main players of the CSKA and the Russian national team. At the time of retirement, both clubs have played more than 500 times, but compared to the all-rounder Alexei in the backcourt, Vasily is in The central defender's position is more stable. As the national team's main central defender and partner Ignacevic, he has played more than a hundred times, while the Alexei national team played only more than 50 games. The two brothers announced their retirement from CSKA Moscow at the same time in July 18th, which is also a good story in football!
"Yang Feng's confrontational ability really needs to be improved. At this opportunity, Yang Feng still lost this header opportunity while occupying a certain position advantage, because in physical confrontation, he was completely at a disadvantage!"
On the playing field.
"You still have practice! Rookie! Welcome to the Russian Super League!"
Perhaps it was worried that Yang Feng’s Russian language was not good enough. Alexei Berezuski mocked Yang Feng in English after his header!
"Sure enough, are you friends?"
Yang Feng didn't plan to deal with the opponent's trash, so he ran back to defend. Responding with your own performance is more meaningful than spamming!
