Football’s First Defender

Chapter 84: The war begins

After confirming the opponent in the semifinals, the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich! Although there is tension, most players may still be excited and more!

That's Bayern! Bayern Munich has a large number of fans in Europe and the world!

The two rounds with them will definitely attract more fans' attention than the match between Fiorentina and the Glasgow Rangers in the other semi-final!

Knowing that more people pay attention to the game, it means that if the players perform well, they will gain greater popularity, get the favor of bigger clubs and better teams, even if it is just a piggyback to increase their presence in the country. The influence is also excellent!

Players also have to live, they need more money, after all, they eat their youth! With fame and popularity, it may mean more advertising revenue!

All the players who are hoping to participate in the two rounds of the final battle are training hard, hoping to let the coach see their sweat left in training, so that they can be favored by Ed Wo Carter and get a chance to play!

On the other hand, Zenit’s coaching staff is also studying Bayern Munich’s game videos day and night!

The intelligence personnel had already been sent out, and the latest news they got was Tony's injury that the coaching staff was most concerned about. The news came back that Tony's recovery from injury is in an optimistic state, and there is a high probability that he may play the game. This also makes the task of Zenit's coaching staff more difficult. After all, there is no Tony's Bayern Munich, but the tactics are very different. !

Zenit can only do two-handed preparations for insurance and practice a variety of defensive tactics against Bayern's offense! To deal with the possible Bayern Munich, different tactical styles!

Back at home, Zenit may choose to attack based on the score in the first game, but in the away game, facing Bayern Munich, Ed Wocart can't get the brain out of it and wants to fight Bayern Munich! Bayern is not Leverkusen. As a result of attacking at the Allianz Arena, I might not be able to be cut and chopped by others like Bayern’s previous opponents to resolve the battle!

When the team is carefully preparing for the semifinals! The Zenit executives, who are eager for honors and championships, have asked for a lot of funds from sponsors this time, and they have done enough logistics preparations!

In addition to sending out the rewards for entering the top 4 at the beginning of the season in advance! In addition to the provisional additional championship rewards for qualifying in the group, the reward plan for advancing to the finals was once again set up to allow a group of players to work hard to kill Bayern Munich!

Every step forward, there is real money in hand, and the materiality is not stingy, and the team's enthusiasm for the game is even higher!

This is professional football. Everyone comes from different parts of the world. Sometimes talking about team honors is far less effective than direct material rewards!

The stimulus of money, as well as the possible opportunity for career advancement, made Zenit's players scream, looking forward to the early semi-finals of the two rounds!

However, with the focus of the Zenit team shifted to the semi-final matchup with Bayern Munich!

Since the Russian Super League has started, Zenit's record is not good!

As the defending champion Zenit, after 3 rounds, he had fallen behind the top team Kazan Rubies by as much as 5 points!

However, in the next three rounds, the coaching staff did not have time to make special tactical adjustments to the league opponents. In addition, due to the European war, the players played on the court with fear of injury. Nit's record is a serious decline compared to last season!

In the fourth round of the league, Zenit played away and was tied 2-2 by the newly promoted Marcinlik! Since this game is interspersed between the two rounds of Leverkusen, the main defensive line led by Yang Feng and Skrtel are all being repaired and not playing!

Zenit's substitute player did not complete the job of tinkering after Zenit attacked, and the home team tied the score before the end!

In the fifth round of the league, Zenit, who played in full play, was drawn 1-1 at home by the visiting Soviet Wings!

As a strong support introduced in the new season, Miguel Danny is still out of touch with the team and cannot perfectly integrate into Zenit’s offensive system. Instead, it is the introduction of substitute striker Fazuelin, whose performance is still outstanding, and Pog Lebniak's chemistry is excellent, leaving a deep impression on Ed Wokat!

After the national team match day, after the sixth round of the game, he will fly to Germany to challenge Bayern Munich, so Zenit is naturally not bad for the score in the standings!

Moreover, many national players in the team were exhausted, and in the case of all the main players, Zenit was drawn away by the penultimate Laminsk Saturn!

From the new season to the present, only one victory has been achieved in 6 rounds. The newly promoted local team of the Russian Super League with 6 consecutive victories, Kazan Ruby opened a full 11-point gap!

However, the defending of the domestic league was put down by everyone with peace of mind! Whether it is the top team, the fans, or the player coach, there is only one focus at this time, the matchup with Bayern Munich!

You can give up any game. In these two rounds, you must win if you desperately!

On April 25, Zenit will finally have a first-round desperate battle with this Bundesliga team at the Allianz Arena in Bayern Munich!

"Although Zenit has performed poorly in the Russian Premier League at the beginning of the new season~lightnovelpub.net~ has only won one league victory so far, ranking in the middle and 11 points behind the top team, but this is not impossible. It is Zenit who has given up the league record for the Euro Cup knockout!"

"After all, Zenit has been refurbished for nearly a month, although the competitive state of the team's personnel is unknown, but at least all the members are healthy and well organized, which also gives Ed Wocart more tactical options!"

"The home team Bayern Munich has a double-digit lead in the league. Although the league has the final few rounds, it has almost locked the league championship!"

"But this season's third-line combat, coupled with the fact that the international team has to run back and forth on the national team match day, the injury problem is the biggest problem for Bayern Munich now!"

"Among them, the main striker, the best scorer in the team, the injury of Tony from Italy has the most serious impact on the team!"

"The absence of Tony in the frontcourt will definitely affect Bayern Munich's best offensive tactics this season!"

"Before this game, although there was news that Tony had already practiced with the team, Tony was still in the final roster. The coach Heathfield said that Tony still needs time to adapt. The rhythm of the game, instead of blindly coming back now!"

"But even without high center Tony, Bayern still has Podolski and Klose on standby! These two players are also the top strikers in Europe and the world!"

"In addition, in every other position, they are all world-renowned players, or international players of major national teams. For the offensive-oriented and defensive Zenit, can he really retreat on the road? "

"let us wait and see……"
