Football’s First Defender
Chapter 61: Start!
Two hours before the game, the starting roster of the two teams was announced. Ed Wo Carter held the opponent's starter in his hand and smiled there!
"Sure enough, as expected, the Spaniards team, this game was horrified, came to our home court with the lowest posture, let us use a fierce attack to solve them!"
If it is Villarreal in normal state, Ed Vocart would definitely not dare to say such a big deal. After all, the yellow submarine, two away games in the previous week, faced the top European giants Real Madrid and Barcelona, and only just lost. It's just a ball!
However, in the league three days ago, even if Pellegrini consciously rotates, most of the main players still have to go into battle for the league results and overdraw their physical fitness!
Murcia also performed well in that game, almost at home, blocking successfully! However, in 83 minutes, Godin took advantage of the corner kick and headed the game. With a score of 0 to 1, he took away a valuable three-pointer from the away field!
But the Villarreal players who ran the whole game were obviously overstretched. At the end of the crossbow, you can't wear Lu Zhen. This will be the 11th game of Villarreal in 37 days. The players who have a team of players may have been unable to sustain it!
Before the game, Zenit’s coaches speculated that Pellegrini would definitely be on the road, lower himself as much as possible, hold a draw, and try to retain enough physical strength for the game at the Love Song Stadium a week later. prepare for!
But! Killing you while you are sick! Ed Wo Carter does not intend to show kindness. The football world is cruel. Being friendly to the enemy is cruel to himself! Zenit's tactics today are very simple, boiled down to one word, "run"!
You can not score a goal, you can make a mistake in the offense, but you have to run, and use enough running to force your opponent to play track and field with Zenit!
Zenit players who have kept their energy for so long, even if they can't run the opposite side in one game, after two games, 180 minutes or even 210 minutes is enough to run away their opponents!
And on weekends, Villarreal’s opponent in the league, Santander will help Zenit. Edvocart will see if Villarreal’s players are all iron men and can they persist. Come down!
"Welcome everyone to watch the live broadcast of Zenit's Europa League knockout game. This time the home team Zenit sits at the Petrovsky Stadium to face the visiting La Liga team Villarreal!"
"The new season of the Russian Super League has one month to open, but in order to prepare for this round of eliminations, Zenit’s players have shortened their vacations and are actively engaged in training preparations. Nit’s goal is not only to defend the Russian Premier League, but also to make a name for himself in the Europa League knockouts!"
"Zenit's lineup has not changed much. Goalkeeper Malafeyev, left back Anyukov, the center-back combination is Yang Feng's partner who has recovered from injury, and the right back is Radek Hill."
"Timoshchuk, Zilyanov, Denisov, Miguel Dani, constitute a midfielder! Among them, Denisov plays the left midfielder, and the new aid Miguel Danny plays the right midfielder!"
"The striker is Pogrebnyak, partner with shadow forward Arshavin!"
"Domingos, new aid Schrokov, Eric Hagen and other powerful players are on the bench!"
"The visiting team, Villarreal, is also the current main force!"
"Goalkeeper Diego Lopez!"
"The defense line is Spain international Capdevila, Uruguay international Godin, and Argentine Gonzalo, as well as new aid Angel this season!"
"Pellegrini, who has a 451 formation in this game, has double midfielders, Max Senna, and Bruno!"
"Due to Pires' injury, the position of Mavuba who replaced him is shown on the left, but it is also possible that Mavuba will go to play in the midfield. It depends on the game to determine the situation. Cazorla occupies the right and the midfielder position It’s Chile international Matthias Fernandez!"
"The striker is Italian Giuseppe Rossi!"
"Pires was injured and missed this game. For Villarreal, it is definitely a big loss on the offensive end!"
"However, the appearance of Mavuba makes the visiting team have three midfielders with strong defensive attributes, which can make a greater contribution to the defense!"
"The game starts! The first round of the 07-08 UEFA Europa League match, the first round, Zenit against Villarreal, the home team Zenit took the lead!"
"As soon as Zenit came up, Tymoshchuk made a long pass, trying to catch the visiting team by surprise!"
"Pogrebnyak succeeded in grabbing the football over Gonzalo's head and hitting the ball to Arshavin next to him!"
"Arshavin, don't adjust, just hit the door in the air!"
"This ball, shoot within the goal frame!"
"However, Lopez's attention was very concentrated and he caught the ball steadily!"
"With only 32 seconds of opening, Zenit took the lead in completing the first kick of the game!"
……
"The game is now in progress, we can see that due to the lack of Pires, Villarreal's attack from the left can only rely on the left back, Capdevila's attack!"
"But Capdevila's personal abilities are really too strong. It was Capdevila's insertion and upload that caused chaos in Zenit's penalty area. Fortunately, central defender Yang Feng grabbed the first place in Mavuba. At the second point, when he was about to hit the goal, he successfully blocked the angle and made Villarreal return without success!"
……
Perhaps Pellegrini, really just wants to take away a draw and be content!
also played three defensive midfielders due to personnel reasons, but this does not mean that he intends to let the team be passively defensive throughout the game.
After all, the strength of the team, in today's European football, although it is not the top giants, it is definitely a top-notch team!
Of course, in the eyes of Pei Gong, the strength of this Zenit is definitely on the same level as Villarreal.
In this kind of master trick, it is absolutely dangerous to give the initiative to the opponent completely, or to be on the away game!
Pei Gong is still willing to show his offensive strength when he has just enough physical strength at the beginning of the game. It is the best to get an away goal. If he can't, he can play several threatening offenses, and he can also switch to the defensive afterwards. , So Zenit has greater defensive concerns and dare not attack with all his strength!
"Miguel Danny, this time it's a bit sticky!"
"He wanted to break through the past alone on the right, creating a chance! Capdevila directly collided with his body and stole the ball!"
"Villarreal's chance to fight back!"
"Capdevila didn't lose time and passed the ball directly to Fernandez, who ran out of position near the center circle!"
"Fernandez is directly near the middle circle, so he will start a long pass and look for Giuseppe Rossi!"
"Yang Feng!"
"Pull Rossi directly with one hand, while striding forward by himself!"
"Although Rossi also reacted to want to fight for the ball forward, but he has lost his best position!"
"Yang Feng directly got stuck in a thigh, and then, the man also moved forward and cleared with his left foot, kicking the ball directly back to the middle circle!"
"Villarreal's attack has returned without success again!"
……
"On the other hand, this time Tymoshchuk dominated the attack on the left side!"
"Left back Anyukov has quickly plugged in, echoing Denisov!"
"After Denisov tried to break through Anhel unsuccessful, he chose to pass back to Anyukov behind him!"
"But in the face of Cazorla's harassment, Anyukov has no room to continue his actions!"
"Anyukov chose to pass the ball to Zilyanov in the middle!"
"But!"
"Marcos Senna!"
"At the moment Anyukov passed the ball, he took two steps forward and successfully intercepted the football!"
"And directly take the ball forward to break through, it is Villarreal's counterattack opportunity again!"
"Senna made a long pass, looking for Anyukov to plug in the huge gap behind him!"
"Cazorla, is sprinting with all his strength! He is most hopeful of getting the ball this time!"
"The delayed Yang Feng really can't take care of such a big gap. He can only choose to retreat continuously, hoping to cooperate with his teammates to complete the defense!"
"But the Zenit team's recovery speed is too late!"
"Frontcourt~lightnovelpub.net~ Cazorla takes the ball on the right and continues to dribble forward at full speed!"
"Yang Feng directs Scott to keep an eye on Rossi!"
"And Hill, pay attention to Fernandez's position!"
"I will face the most difficult Cazorla!"
"Cazorla brought the ball to a position near the penalty area, facing Zenit's central defender, Yang Feng's defense!"
"For this ball, Yang Feng has taken the initiative to step forward, trying to contain the danger outside the restricted area!"
"In the face of Yang Feng's defense, Cazorla has been making small steps, ready to look for opportunities!"
"Suddenly bottom!"
"Yang Feng followed?"
"Fake action, Cazorla pulled the ball back again! Are you ready to get out of defense in the opposite direction?"
"Yang Feng also pulled his body back, not planning to give up his defensive position easily!"
"Cazorla goes down again!"
"Cazorla's advantage of low center of gravity is fully utilized!"
"This ball, Yang Feng's body, can't keep up!"
"But!"
"It's broken!"
"Yang Feng didn't give up, he just fell to the ground and stretched out his leg!"
"Successfully met football!"
"Kicked the ball backwards for a while and bought time for myself to get up again!"
"And the other Zenit players have rushed back to the defensive position!"
"Cazorla can only choose, a pass and find Giuseppe Rossi in the penalty area!"
"But Skrtel took the position firmly and pushed the ball out. This time the attack was resolved by Zenit again!"
"Zenit's attack was fierce at the beginning, but the more threatening was the counterattack of the visiting team..."
