Football’s First Defender

Chapter 56: Decisive moment

(There are a lot of trivial matters and annoying things. I didn’t get up to watch the game yesterday. I didn’t miss the game of Real Madrid... But it’s still mentioned in the previous chapter. Eunuchs and other things are impossible. Just collect them. If it’s not 0, if you increase the number of clicks, I’ll write it down! I will codewords while watching the ball in the future, and make more use of my spare time...)

   While Zenit continues to attack the home team!

   Everton’s counterattack was also very impressive!

  Although Yakubu, the fulcrum of one's own counterattack, was limited by Scotter and Eric Hagen rarely played!

   But whether it is Pinar on the left or Leon Osman on the right, they have caused a large enough threat during the counterattack!

   Zenit’s seemingly stormy offense, while making Everton’s defense tottering, it also allowed his defense to gradually expose his weakness!

   "The score is still 0-0, and the game time is almost 75 minutes!"

   "At the beginning of the second half, the visiting team took the initiative to attack and created several good shooting opportunities. However, the opponent goalkeeper Howard did nothing to achieve this goal!"

   "While enduring Zenit's onslaught, the home team did not give up the threat of counterattack!"

   "Pinar once had a wonderful counterattack, and almost succeeded! Fortunately, Skrtel arrived immediately and completed the blockade, so that Zenit would not fall behind again!"

   "After a short period of time after the two sides have tacitly adjusted the ball, the game will also enter the final stage of the battle!"

   "The coaches on both sides are ready to play their cards to fight for the final victory!"

   "Zenit's side, first replace Lombards with a stronger offensive full-back, and replace Kim Dongjin, who is conscientious in defense! It seems that he intends to attack more vigorously in the end and leave no room!"

   "Fernando Rickson is replaced with a strong Fernando Rickson, replacing Zilyanov to increase the vitality of the midfield!"

   "The home team Everton also made two substitution adjustments!"

   "Victor Anichebe replaced Yakubu who was difficult to play in this game!"

   "This hand substitution actually feels that it can be carried out earlier. After all, Anichebe's counterattack speed is more than one grade higher than that of Yakubu, and it can completely increase Everton's counterattack speed again!"

   "Then replace Osman on the right side with James McFadden, and continue to strengthen his advancing speed on the side lane!"

   "Everton's tactical purpose is very obvious! When Zenit is preparing to attack, rely on his own counterattack speed to penetrate Zenit!"

"This can be said to be a different kind of offensive tactic! Both sides are replaced by players with stronger offensive attributes, but one is to break the iron barrel formation, and the other is to rely on sharp counterattacks to directly kill the opponent. Kill the game!"

  …………

   "Zenit was replaced by Lombards on the right side! So that Zenit's two full-backs on the field at this time have excellent assists and can support the attack on the frontcourt to the maximum!"

   "After Lombards came up, he was very active! Arshavin finally gained more space, and finally had enough teammates on the right to support him instead of relying on him to fight alone!"

   "Zenit's attack is now more hierarchical!"

   "Everton's defense needs to bear more pressure now! This is Zenit's strongest offensive firepower!"

   "This time it is Domingos and Arshavin's cooperation!"

   "Before this, due to the rapid bottoming of the new force Lombards, two defenders were attracted to follow and pass the ball back to the center!"

   "Arshavin cuts in directly after getting the ball!"

   "Facing the leaping midfielder Phil Neville!"

   "Arshavin doesn't have much time to think about it!"

   "See Domingos who has been inserted into the penalty area from the other side!"

   "Just a straight plug!"

   "The strength is just right! Over the guard but not in the goalkeeper's control range!"

   "Domingos!"

   "Howard abandoned the door and attacked!"

   "This ball! Domingos fell! He fell in the penalty area!"

   "A penalty kick?"

   "However, the referee raised his hand to signal Domingos to get up! No penalty was awarded for this ball!"

   "Watch the replay! After receiving the ball, Domingos didn't have time to adjust the shot! Howard threw him!"

   "But Howard did touch the football first, and he did not commit an intentional foul on Domingos! With this ball, Howard saved nothing!"

   "Or many Mingos chose to shoot directly at the time, or take another big step. After the goalkeeper, it is a better choice to open the angle!"

   "Zenit missed another great opportunity!"

  …………

   "This time Arshavin and Lombards played beautifully in 2v2 on the right!"

   "Bynes and Pienaar can't limit their offense at all!"

   "Phil Neville also made up his defense to reduce the defensive pressure of his teammates!"

   "But then the defense in the middle is a bit empty!"

   "Arshavin directly looked at the opportunity and knocked across the middle!"

   "Domingos followed up again in the middle!"

   "Volley!"

   "It hit Jajelka!"

   "One more kick!"

   "It was blocked by Howard again!"

   "Domingos has many opportunities today, but he just can't knock on the door of Everton!"

   At the same time as the game heats up, the real-time situation of another game is also known to Zenit’s assistant coach and told to Ed Wocart!

   "Damn it! That idiot Van Gaal! Can't we even draw against Nuremberg? How did we get **** when we played!"

   Another group game that started at the same time, Nuremberg sits at home and has a 2-0 lead over the visiting Alkmaar!

  If the result of another game is maintained, then the situation of qualifying in the group will have to force Zenit to this shopping!

In the last round of Nuremberg against the Greek team Larissa, basically there will be no mistakes, then 7 points, Everton will not lose, at least 7 points, although Alkmaar is only 4 points, but if Everton Dayton qualified ahead of schedule, so at home in the Netherlands, Alkmaar faced Everton who may be on the bench to release the water, it might not have a chance to squeeze Zenit out!

   "To score 6 points after a draw, there is no difference compared to losing the game and 5 points!"

   "Strike with all your strength!"

   "We have no retreat! This game must be won!"

   Ed Wocart had no choice in the end. If Nuremberg could not win, he could still qualify by keeping a draw, but now!

   "Offense! Offense! We must win!"

   Seeing that the head coach urged to strengthen the offense at the last moment, the players on the field would understand what was going on!

   After all, I said before the game that if Alkmaar is strong, it is not impossible to defend appropriately in the final stage of the game!

   "In the simultaneous game, Nuremberg has scored the second goal and achieved a 2-0 lead!"

"Zenit, who had a bye in the last round of the group stage, wants to advance. If he can't win this game, he can only hope that his opponent Everton can develop sportsmanship and not lose to Alkmaar away, or Nuremberg capsized the Greek team Larissa in the away game!"

   "However, including stoppage time in this game, there are more than 10 minutes left. It is possible that Zenit can directly determine the result of the game by himself!"

   "It's Arshavin's breakthrough again! At the last moment, can Zenit's ace change the fate of the team?"

   "But in addition to Anichebe who is still ensuring the team's counterattack ability, the other Everton players have returned to the defense!"

   "Especially Moyes just switched Pienaar and McFadden, who was on the bench before, so that Arshavin will have to face Bynes and McFadden's defense line with more physical strength in the offensive!"

   "No success this time~lightnovelpub.net~ Arshavin was directly cut off the football by McFadden when he broke through!"

   "After all, Arshavin, who has been active in the game until now, has physical problems with reason!"

   "This is a chance to fight back!"

   "McFadden's own speed is very good, fast dribbling the ball!"

   "Tymoshchuk make up for it!"

   "Passed, McFadden didn't choose to do it alone in the face of Tymoshchuk!"

   "Pass to the unmarked Arteta in the middle!"

   "A beautiful long pass!"

   "This ball! Hagen is restrained by Anichebe!"

   "Can Scotter limit Everton's trump card alone, Pienaar?"

   "It's in this kind of wide-open and close-up counterattack. Everton's center-back combination has been backed up for losing the ball in many games!"

   "This time!"

   "Scott did not go up blindly!"

   "He is retreating, limiting Pinar's breakthrough, instead of rushing to the football goal as usual!"

   "Pinar received the ball and moved forward quickly!"

   "Bicycle action! This ball!"

   "Change direction! Break through!"

   "Scott! This time! He didn't become the background board again!"

   "While putting physical confrontation on Pinar, Scotter successfully stretched his leg to block the football!"

   "Although it may be a yellow card action if the ball cannot be touched, it is a good shot if it is successfully intercepted!"

   "Everton's counterattack, this time has no results!"

  The game continues...
