Football’s First Defender
Chapter 47: The troubles of Ed Wocart
In the second round of the UEFA Europa League qualification play-off, he lost Yang Feng's Zenit and finally retreated from Belgium with a score of 1-1! However, the injury of defense general Yang Feng dilutes the joy of the team's promotion to the UEFA Cup!
At the press conference after the game, Ed Wocart was a little absent-minded! What he cares most now is how Yang Feng's injury is and how much time he needs to recuperate? Fortunately, for the Russian Super League, the original plan was to train new players and substitute players, but after the Europa League group stage and the Russian Cup knockout stage, Yang Feng is still inseparable!
Yang Feng is really important to this offensive Zenit! Without his defensive line, Zenit will continue to play the current offensive tactics, I am afraid that he will compete with his opponent for the number of goals!
Everything has to wait for the results of the hospital's examination. At least the team doctor reported on the spot that the initial examination on the field should be that the ankle ligament was damaged when it was shoveled, and there was no major problem such as a fracture!
Ed Wocart only hopes that Yang Feng will not be injured too badly. Although his most basic tactic to attack the European war is of course offense, Yang Feng is definitely the most important part of the defense! Only when Yang Feng is on the scene, Zenit can safely display all his offensive strength without worrying about losing the chain of his defense!
Just as the team was preparing to board the flight back to Russia at the airport, Yang Feng finally appeared in the team wearing a protective gear to protect his right foot!
"Is the ankle ligament secondary injury?"
Ed Wo Carter got the exact news of Yang Feng from the team doctor who followed Yang Feng to the hospital for examination!
As a senior coach, Ed Wocart certainly knows that this degree of ankle ligament injury requires 2 to 3 months of recovery time before training!
"Should I be glad that at least there was no third-degree ligament injury?"
"Damn it, I hope I can draw a good lottery in the group stage, I don't want to, in this period of time without Yang Feng, even the group stage stumbling!"
On the other hand, Yang Feng, who has lived for two lifetimes, has experienced such a serious injury for the first time!
This is the difference between amateur football and professional football. In professional football, all kinds of injuries that seem commonplace, playing at the ordinary level are rare!
One is the intensity of the game, there is a huge difference, and the other is in the non-professional arena, many defensive moves are not allowed to be done!
is like the ball in which Yang Feng was tackled. Perhaps it was Yang Feng's own inertial thinking. There is really no defense. The opponent forward will slide over it so recklessly! This is the rhythm of group fights in the field. But in the professional arena, it was just a yellow card and an apology!
At that time, all attention was focused on finding the position of his teammates. Yang Feng, who was about to pass, didn't pay attention to protecting himself. This time it can only be regarded as a lesson. In the future, Yang Feng believes that he will be able to gain a bit of wisdom on the field of protecting himself!
Belgium has direct flights to Moscow, and Zenit’s opponent in this round happens to be the Moscow locomotive of the Moscow Region team! During the tiring journey, at least there is no need to change planes...
In this round of the Russian Super League, although both teams have just finished the Europa League play-offs, after all, in the second round, Lokomotiv Moscow is at home, and this league is also played at home. Compared with the exhausted Zeni, In particular, the home team can still be said to be at ease!
However, Zenit, who has won the Russian Super League, did not choose to do his best in this game, and decisively chose to rotate most of the main players.
One day apart, or the last few rounds after winning the championship, still the main force? Do you think Edvard Carter is Thibodeau on the other side of the ocean?
has injured a Yang Feng and needs to be absent for more than 2 months. Ed Wocart doesn't want his other main players to be injured again!
What streaks of winning streaks are not so important to Ed Wocart! This is not in a football game, to break the record to complete the feeling of "beier cool"!
Champion! This is the goal pursued by professional football! For Ed Volkart, instead of brushing the Russian Super League's winning streak in Europe's non-five leagues, he can only be proud of himself in Russia! Leading the team to make a breakthrough in the European war is of greater significance!
Although it is not the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Europa League is also a traditional event in Europe. For Zenit, if it can really stand out from the top five leagues, or even kill the down-and-out giants in the UEFA Cup, it is also its own strength. The embodiment of value!
"Zenit actually rotated most of the main players in this game, and the sequelae of frequent battles with a set of lineups began to show up!"
"Fatigue is another aspect, injury prevention is the most important thing. After all, the general Yang Feng, who has broken the defense line, what Zenit needs to do now is to ensure his health and face the European competition in the offseason!"
"The absence of Arshavin, Timošchuk, Domingos and other absolute cores has made Zenit's striker a lot of starlight. I don't know if this Zenit on the field is still dominant!"
…………
"GOAL! Pogrebnyak!"
"A shot near the penalty spot! Set the first record for Zenit!"
"Indeed, without Tymoshchuk and Arshavin's Zenit, there are obvious shortcomings in the midfield organization, but Zenit still has the nuclear weapon of Boshen!"
"It's not a very good chance to play from the side! But Boshen has the ability to complete a fatal blow on his own in the penalty area!"
"Forcibly relying on the body to get stuck in the position, after unloading the ball in the chest, he half-turned and volleyed the goal! All the movements were smooth and flowing, and it was done in one go! The defender who defended against Wave God was stuck behind him, although he stretched his leg to block the ball, but in the end There is still no way!"
"1 to 0, Zenit took the lead in the away game!"
"Zenit, who lacks a few core players, still has the strength and confidence to win the game in the Russian Super League!"
…………
"GOAL!"
"Zilinsky!"
"Teammate's beautiful long pass after stealing!"
"It’s great!"
"Football is right in the middle of the defensive range of Zenit's two central defenders. Hagen and Skrtel obviously didn't react at first. After all, before this kind of ball was handled by Yang Feng! But this time there was no one on the field. Yang Feng!"
"When they were stunned, Zilinsky had already taken the lead in starting, and relying on speed, successfully broke into the penalty area before the two guards completed the encirclement, and a single-handed shot at the far corner without any difficulty!"
"Lokomotiv Moscow, to bring the game back to the same starting line at home!"
"This ball! Scott and Hagen were finally punched through when defending the opponent's counterattack!"
"The problem at the beginning of the season has not been resolved, and the problem seems to be even bigger! At least at the beginning of the season, Skrtel had the tactical requirements for supplementary defense. He should react faster than just now, although he may not be able to catch up in the end. Go on the opponent player! But start early, after all, if you can run two more steps, you have a greater chance of getting the ball..."
"In fact, this pair of central defenders is not so reliable when the team presses out to attack!"
"In the previous games, Hagen also replaced Skrtel and played a partner with Yang Feng, and his performance in the game was still good!"
"But among the three main level defenders, as soon as Yang Feng is missing, the other two are in a lot of situations!"
"Whether it is Eric Hagen or Skrtel, it seems that they are already in the usual game and training, and they are used to Yang Feng's supplement and almost all the high ball sweeping ability."
"I'm used to French food, I can't eat potatoes and bread anymore!"
The half game ended with a score of 1-1!
As the score equalized, the home team gradually pulled the game into its own rhythm!
The spirit of the Zenit players at the beginning of the game was almost consumed as the game progressed!
After all, it’s only a day’s rest before the European game, and the time spent flying on the plane is also included. The tiredness of the game and the journey are intertwined, and the outcome of the game is nothing to Zenit. It's too meaningful, so Zenit's lack of concentration on the field is excusable!
On the other hand, the home team will continue to fight for points for qualifying for the UEFA Europa League next season. For many small teams, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, it is meat. Although the various bonuses of the UEFA Cup are not many, even if they are given as bonuses. The player posting ~lightnovelpub.net~ is also a way to boost morale! Therefore, Lokomotiv Moscow, which has an advantage in terms of physical strength, morale, spiritual will, and even the strength of the team on the field, will not save face to the new league champions!
finally! Lokomotiv Moscow, who played at home, still took three points from the leader as expected!
Relying on Zilinsky's brace, the score of 2-1 was maintained to the end, giving Zenit another defeat in the league!
"Due to the schedule, Yang Feng's absence, rotation and many other reasons, Zenit finally got another defeat!"
"This is an atypical Zenit game, but it can still expose Zenit's defense. Without Yang Feng, the loopholes in the opponent's defensive counterattack are too great!"
"Perhaps during the period when Yang Feng is absent, Mr. Ed Wocart should try his best to choose some conservative tactics, otherwise, if you continue to use the previous offensive tactics, it really depends on the number of goals scored by both sides of the game!"
"We believe in Zenit's offensive firepower, but if it is really the number of goals scored, is it too risky for a team like Zenit?"
"Everything depends on Mr. Ed Wo Carter's decision afterwards!"
"But we really can't imagine that the injury of a young central defender under the age of 20 made Mr. Ed Wocart unable to find someone to fill his vacancy. Yang Feng is definitely Zenit's most valuable treasure this season! "
"He can support the defensive task of the entire back line by relying on one person. In the full offensive mode, one person can act as two to prevent opponents from counterattacking!"
"I hope that Yang Feng can continue to maintain this state and upward momentum after he is well injured. Sooner or later, this kind of defender will definitely prove himself in Europe..."
