Football’s First Defender

Chapter 57: Lore

   "Scott and Hagen, who always made mistakes in previous matches, performed really well today!"

   "Although there is also a reason that his own full-back has not made much of the early insertion, but in the final stage, facing his own full-scale onslaught, the opponent counterattacked twice in succession, and they all returned in vain!"

"Scotter blocked Pienaar's breakthrough first, and only 2 minutes later, when Everton struck back again, Eric Hagen, who was dragged at the end of the defense, also successfully restrained Aniche who took the ball. shell!"

   "At least, it is guaranteed that Zenit will not lose the ball first!"

   "However, Zenit's own offensive players have created countless opportunities, but they can't break through the opponent's goalkeeper Howard's ten fingers!"

   "As the game draws to a close, Everton's line of defense looks more encrypted and impervious!"

   "Zenit's offense is getting harder!"

"We can see that Arshavin has already begun to bend over and gasp. After all, one person has taken up the entire attack on the right side. As the team's ace, Arshavin must want to do his best in this crucial battle. May help the team!"

   "It's just a pity, he really didn't have the luck of scoring today!"

   "Due to some problems with Arshavin's stamina, Tymoshchuk moved the ball to the left wisely, at least so that his close comrades can regain their stamina on the right!"

   "The combination of Anyukov and Denisov is still powerful!"

   "Plus on this side, the player who switched over to defend is the strong offensive defensive, and the physical strength also has certain problems with Pinar!"

   "Zenit's chance on the left is actually bigger than imagined!"

   "Anyukov pinned Pinar on the flank to create space for Denisov near the bottom line, another direct duel between Denisov and Hibbert!"

   "Change direction breakthrough!"

   "Pinar is coming over from the outside!"

   "Denisoff is dangerous..."

   "Hind heel!"

   "Faced with the double-teaming of the two, Denisov knocked back on his heel and passed the ball in the most time-saving way!"

   "Anyukov, a 45-degree cross!"

   "Because of Pinar's defense, no one interfered to get Anyukov!"

   "This ball is of very high quality!"

   "The ball is fast, and there is a big arc!"

   "The landing point is near the small restricted area line!"

   "Goalkeeper Howard has no time to come out!"

   "Pogrebnyak!"

   "Header!"

   "Dangdang!!!"

   "Ah! This ball!"

   "Hit the crossbar!"

   "Goalkeeper Howard, facing such a close shot, has given up resistance! But the crossbar saved Everton!"

   "Under the interference of Jazelka, the ball did not reach the correct part of the football! This ball can be rejected by the crossbar. Everton's luck in this game is really good!"

   "How many times has Zenit missed this opportunity?"

   "It's hard to imagine that in such a fierce game, the score has always been 0 to 0!"

"The other game is over. Nuremberg sits at home 2-0 and takes Alkmaar lightly! Zenit wants to take the initiative to advance in his own hands, so he can only win, but he leaves time for Zenit. Running out!"

  …………

   "It's 88 minutes, the game is almost into stoppage time, but Zenit's offense is still in a good position without scoring!"

   "Ed Wo Carter just replaced Domingos, who is already exhausted with Tektronix, and he is ready to play double center forwards. There is a high ball from the wing!"

   "But Moyes also got on a substitute central defender, replaced the average defensive Pinar, and played three central defenders, just to prevent Zenit from high-altitude bombing in the final stage!"

   "Arshavin and Anyukov drove the ball on the left and right sides respectively, but the results were not satisfactory!"

   "The Premier League defenders are not afraid of this kind of golf at all. In the Zenit team, Boshen, who is best at grabbing the header, will not get the perfect opportunity under the interference of Jazelka!"

   "Fortunately, due to the interference of Boshen and Tek in the penalty area, Everton's central defender can only choose to steadily clear the siege. The final control of the ball is still in Zenit's hands!"

   "Anyukov's pass again!"

   "With Pienaar's end, Zenit's left side has become more handy!"

   "However, the quality of this biography is really average!"

   "The speed of the ball is too slow, for the Everton central defenders, there is enough reaction time!"

   "With the help of his teammates, Jajelka successfully got stuck in front of Pogrebnyak and cleared the ball with a header!"

   "The second point outside the penalty zone!"

   "Boom!!"

   "Arshavin shoots directly!"

   "Great strength!"

   "But I didn't suppress the football!"

   "The ball flew into the stands!"

   "Everton's goal kick!"

   "Howard chooses to open quickly!"

   "Pass the ball to Bynes on the side!"

   "Bynes drove the ball directly!"

   "Arshavin panted hard and wanted to catch up with the defense, but he couldn't catch up at all!"

   "Bynes drove the ball fast by himself!"

   "McFadden on the same side is also quickly inserting into Zenit's right hinterland!"

   "Lombards is also running to chase McFadden!"

   "Zenit is defending, so Tymoshchuk has to come and take care of Bynes!"

   "But Bynes has no love for war either!"

   "Long pass directly to McFadden's side!"

   "1v1 with two substitutes"

   "McFadden is obviously faster!"

   "Byrns's long pass is quite the demeanor of the team's core Arteta. The landing is excellent. McFadden does not slow down, just unload the ball and go forward!"

   "Longbaltz, who is behind, can only eat ashes behind, just can't catch up!"

   "McFadden swept the ball directly to the goal!"

   "Anichebe! Directly in the process of running, bypassing Hagen's defense, came around, and rushed to the front pass first!"

   "Follow up and hit the door!"

   "Push!"

   "Is there?"

"No!"

   "Eric Hagen! Flying from this close range, a goal that must be scored!"

   "Get out of the door line!"

   "Scott, who came with me, quickly make a clearance! Corner kick! Everton corner kick!"

   "5 minutes stoppage time!"

   "Everton still has a chance to take a corner kick!"

   "Jajelka, Lescott has also come to the Zenit half, ready to fight for the header!"

"In the Premier League, set-pieces are also a good scoring tool for Everton. However, Everton, who is mainly defensive in this field, can hardly have many set-piece opportunities. There were few set-piece opportunities before this game, I don’t know. Can Everton’s set-piece bring us a surprise!"

   "Arteta, run-up, kick-off!"

   "This ball! The arc is extremely high!"

   "After the point!"

   "Tektronix, who is in charge of marking Lescott, has not stood his ground!"

   "Lescott jumped high! At the back point! Point the ball back to the middle!"

   "There is chaos in the restricted area!"

   "Hagen, Scotter, Jajelka, and Anichebe made a mess. The ball was crowded and couldn't effectively compete for the top!"

   "The ball fell into the penalty area!"

   "This ball!"

   "In?!"

   "Just like that?"

   "Zenit, who had the advantage of a normal game, was finally killed!"

   "Ani Chebe!"

   "During stoppage time, taking advantage of the chaos in the penalty area, Anichebe took the lead in grabbing the landing spot and stabbing him! The goalkeeper had no response at such a close distance and the line of sight was disturbed!"

   "1 to 0, Everton took the lead at his home court!"

   "Zenit, who had the advantage and initiative on the court throughout the game, this time, he was not defeated by the opponent's counterattack, but made a huge mistake in the positioning of the ball!"

   "A series of mistakes caused the loss of the ball. Zenit failed to send himself to the knockout round in the away game. On the contrary, due to this unexpected backwardness, the probability of getting out of the game increased sharply!"

"The spirits of the Zenit players are a bit trance. The Zenit players who may have had a smooth season in the Russian Super League would not expect to encounter such a big dilemma in the group stage of the Europa League, or even the group. It's a luxury to qualify!"

"The last 3 minutes! The Zenit players obviously lost their energy, most of them ended the offensive round with long shots! Although Tymoshchuk's long shots were also within the range of the goal frame, they played really well. It's so honest, it was directly confiscated by Howard!"

"The game is over! Everton, who sits at home, relied on Anickebe's 91-minute goal to kill the visiting Russian Super League champion Zenit, and with three consecutive victories, he locked the spot in advance, even in the group. the first!"

   "Zenit only scored 5 points with 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss! I temporarily ranked second in the group!"

   "But Zenit, who had a bye in the last round, can only cheer for the Greek team Larissa or Everton, hoping to contain Nuremberg or Alkmaar, who are both 4 points!"

"This is football! Zenit, who created more opportunities throughout the game, did not score a goal; Zenit's central defender combination, who was not good at defending the opponent's counterattack, was not easy to lose; but the final stage of the game was positioning. Making a mistake on the ball and being scored, Zenit’s group stage trip is really sad!"

   "Zenit's fate will be determined in the Europa League group stage two weeks later. The other two qualifying places in Group A will be determined by the final round of the competition. Let us wait and see!"
