Football’s First Defender
Chapter 69: Fierce battle
For a 90-minute game, it is unrealistic for all athletes to stay focused at any time!
It is unrealistic for athletes to choose the best solution every time when facing their opponents, and make the most correct decision.
This has nothing to do with the player's personal ability, just because the player is a human, a living person, destined to be unable to perform all command actions perfectly like a machine!
For Zenit players on the field, under the crazy pressure of opponents, sometimes some mistakes are inevitable, but it is unavoidable to reduce mistakes as much as possible, or make few big mistakes, but Zenit players Our top priority!
Shirokov's previous defensive loopholes were that they were not suitable for defending South American players with standard skills like Fernandez, and also because Villarreal had been playing the wing before, allowing the defender in charge of the middle area. Shirokov didn't have that much defensive pressure, which led to some lack of concentration!
With Fernández’s high-quality kick, the home team’s midfield has also been played alive, and Villarreal, who has all started to participate in the offensive, puts Zenit’s defensive pressure even stronger!
"Although Zenit equalized the score with a header and regained the lead, the home team Villarreal players have a strong ability to adjust!"
"They didn't sigh for the loss of the set-piece, but because the total score was behind, they aroused their desire to attack! They urgently need to score!"
"Amidst the cheering of the home fans, the home team players launched wave after wave of offensive, posing a huge threat to Zenit's defense!"
"Especially Matthias Fernández, who was previously covered by the light of Cazorla and Pires, used his strong personal ability in the middle and the creativity of South American players to upset Zenit's defense! "
"The Zenit midfielder Shirokov, who is mainly responsible for marking him, is now very embarrassed. Not only did Fernandez create an excellent long-range shot opportunity and complete high-quality shots. He also lost two in the defense process. An excellent set-kick foul! It's just a pity that these two free kicks hit the goal directly, one was shot by Cazorla, and one shot by Fernandez himself was confiscated by the goalkeeper!"
"But there is no doubt that Zenit, who had been beaten up on the two side lanes before, is also shaky in his mid lane defense!"
"There is also the restraint of Turkish national Nihat in the penalty area. Unlike Giuseppe Rossi who stands and waits for the ball most of the time in the first round, Nihat is more willing to run without the ball in the penalty area to contain Zeni. The attention of the two central defenders. Although it may be useless in many cases, the Zenit central defender is firmly limited to his own defensive area and cannot provide support to the front midfield defense!"
"Should Zenit, who have been completely suppressed, make some tactical adjustments? Although there is a gap of two goals for the home team to advance, but in the Love Song Stadium, if Villarreal's offensive breaks out, it will be for the visiting team. As far as Nit is concerned, it definitely does not mean that it can be completely parried!"
Ed Wo Carter also knows the dilemma facing his team!
When Pogrebnyak scored, Ed Wocart thought he could defeat the heart of the Villarreal fight! Or at least it can make some players lose the desire to fight!
but now……
The players of Villarreal, especially the offensive players in the entire midfield, still maintain a high fighting spirit, and even the offense is smoother than the beginning of the game, the tactical coordination is better, and even the running ability may be better. Strong!
The pressure on the defense of his own team has been greater because of the continuous successful breakthroughs of the opponent's midfielder Fernandez. Coupled with Pire and Cazorla, who are staring at the side, Ed Wocart is also a little helpless now!
Adjustment? How to adjust! I can’t change now! It will definitely interfere with your tactical preparation before the game, and, because of early substitutions, your team's physical advantage will be weakened!
can only choose to stand firm at this time! Hard to the end! Don't be afraid of being scored, just hit back in the second half!
"Defend! Pay attention to defense! Don't be afraid of wasting your energy! Run! Don't give your opponent a direct free kick in a dangerous position!"
Although he knows that his players' defensive attributes are not that high, Ed Wocart believes that as long as the players can run, it is not a big problem to stick to the end of the halftime! No matter how bad it is, it is not a big deal to let the opponent go in, as long as the opponent does not reverse the big score.
After all, the entire first half was running at all costs. Even if three substitute offensive players were replaced in the second half, do the others on the home team really have the ability to run the entire court.
The decisive battle will only take 60 minutes, so don’t worry about the gains and losses of one city and one pool!
"The game has been on for 35 minutes. The first half of the game is really exciting. Both teams contributed a wonderful goal. The away team Zenit still has a big lead, but the home team is constantly attacking. Can the home team score another goal before the end of the field?"
"Capdevila added an assist this time and pressed Pire in front of him. Because Pire was restrained by his teammates behind him, he could naturally break through to the bottom line with more confidence!"
"Zenit right-back Hill is still a little struggling to face Pires alone at this time, Arshavin has to come over to make up for the interference, but!"
"Pires did not choose to pass back the vacant Capdevila, but instead took advantage of the lack of Arshavin to take Hill!"
"It has passed, directly in the process of acceleration, looking for a physical confrontation, Hill is at a disadvantage in this instant physical confrontation! Not to lose the strength of a fighter who has been honed in the Premier League for many years, Pire's physical fitness is definitely not bad!"
"Pire, it's over!"
"Hill can only follow closely, and Yang Feng in the penalty area has to abandon Nihat to make up his defense!"
"Pires did not choose to pass the ball in the reverse triangle, but did it alone!"
"Before Yang Feng rushed to help defend, hit the door directly from a small angle!"
"This ball! Powerful grounder! Malafeyev's wicket!"
"Fortunately, Malafeyev responded quickly. UUreading www.uukanshu.com chose to quickly fall sideways at a critical moment, and blocked the knocking door that might pass through his own small door, sideways with his legs to block it!"
"Follow up and shoot!"
"But Yang Feng has arrived!"
"Directly take the lead in the control of the football, without giving Pire a chance to shoot forward! Directly clear!"
"Wait, this ball is not a blind clearance. Yang Feng's kick is in the direction of the clearance. It happens to be the gap left by Villarreal after he pressed the attack!"
"Capdevila is running back desperately. The ball is looking for him to go up and down, and the space behind him! But Denisov, who was supposed to be on his left, has now come before others are not paying attention. The empty space on the right, rushing to the place of football!"
"Zenit's chance is definitely a good opportunity to fight back!"
"Pogrebnyak also strode into the penalty area, dragging Godin for Denisov!"
"Denisov is very fast, he has already unloaded the football, Spain international Capdevila is still behind him, did not rush back to his position!"
"2v2!"
"Denisov and Pogrebnyak, against Godin and Gonzalo Rodriguez!"
"Godin has been following Pogrebnyak!"
"Gonzalo pushed to Denisov from the middle!"
"Denisov accelerates! Keep going!"
"Wow!"
"Gonzalo!"
"Fly shovel directly!"
"Shovel over Denisov!"
"Denisov! Turned over in the air! Landed in pain!"
"This ball!"
"It's a bit cruel!"
"Referee! How will the penalty be imposed..."
