Football’s First Defender

In the end, Yang Feng was officially confirmed as the team's starting central defender for the next game. Unless Yang Feng's own state showed a significant decline, Edvocaat decided to go all the way.

Offense is the core concept of his tactics. He was fed up with the ending of the previous game, where the front attacked and the defense dug a hole. Finally, Yang Feng performed well in the defense, so he should always use him.

The 6-point difference in the standings is enough for him to squander a few games and stick to his tactics in the Russian Super League, a league where it is difficult to score points!

However, I hope there will be no problems in the weekend game! The victory or loss of this game can be related to 6 points!

It's the weekend again! For Zenit, the Luzhniki Stadium is already familiar. For many teams in Moscow, in some major games, they can earn tens of thousands more tickets by borrowing the Luzhniki Stadium, which can accommodate more than 80,000 spectators.

This is not a small income!

And Zenit this season is currently the top traffic in the Russian Super League. No matter which away game, there are countless local fans. They want to see this top team in the league and also want to witness the wonderful performance of Tsar Arshavin. . Basically, when Zenit goes to a place, it will cause a boom in the football market, and the ticket price will even skyrocket!

In addition to the lack of cheers from the home fans, the Luzhniki Stadium is almost catching up with Zenit's second home game. For Zenit, it saves the trouble of adapting to different away turf. In fact, in terms of familiarity with the stadium, Zenit may be better than these so-called home teams!

Once again at the Luzhniki Stadium, the most powerful team in the Moscow region, Sparta Moscow, the second in the league, ushered in the challenge of the leader Zenit!

The visiting team with 5 consecutive victories and the home team with 3 consecutive victories have both displayed their due strength and performed well in the near future. Today, I believe that both sides will dedicate a wonderful game to the fans present!

The starting lineup is out, and the two sides still use the lineup of the past few consecutive victories! There is no change in personnel!

It was reported before the game that Eric Hagen, Zenit's former main central defender, had returned from injury, but perhaps it was because his condition had not recovered, or Yang Feng, who replaced Hagen, performed really well at this stage. , although Hagen entered the squad for the game, he sat on the bench and watched from the sidelines!

Okay, the players on both sides are ready, the game is about to start!

Sparta Moscow, which is playing at home, seems to be full of confidence! Indeed, although the current Zenit has a kind of aura of gods blocking gods and gods fighting gods, but Sparta Moscow should play against Zenit. It is the most confident team in the entire Russian Super League, bar none!

This is already the fourth time the two teams have played against each other this season. The previous three meetings included two rounds of cup knockout rounds. Sparta Moscow won two and drew one. They relied on defensive counterattacks in three games and scored two goals per game for Zenit. It can be said that Zenit is the biggest sufferer!

Zenit's defense was scored 4 goals by the Spartan striker Nikov alone. I don't know if Yang Feng, who continues to replace Hagen in the game, can limit Nikov's performance this time. Fight back!

In fact, in this game, it is absolutely feasible for Zenit to play conservative tactics like they did against CSKA before! It is also the most in line with the situation of the league championship, but Advocaat wants to continue to test the offensive strength of his lineup, and whether the defensive end can continue to maintain the previous state in the face of Sparta's sharp counterattack!

Spartak Moscow is a whetstone. Advocaat now wants to see if the current Zenit is capable of defeating the sufferer of the previous few games!

Russian Super League champion, I'm sure. Regardless of winning or losing this game, the Russian Super League champion should belong to Zenit who can score points by attacking! I want to see now, my team's offense and defense Performance, can it support the team to go further in the European war!

Advocaat's current goal is definitely not just a Russian Super League champion. If given the opportunity, he would never mind letting Zenit replicate the brilliant achievements of the CSKA team in the European War!

The game has begun! Zenit, wearing a light blue jersey, did not choose to use conservative tactics in this strong dialogue.

We can see that Zenit is gradually advancing its offensive line and is looking forward to a high-quality offensive cooperation!

Instead, the home team Sparta Moscow!

He directly put on an iron barrel posture at home. The fourth match between the two sides looks the same as the previous three games. Zenit is the main attacker and Spartak Moscow is the main defender. Will the final result this time be the same? Let's wait and see!

This time, Tymoshchuk will go directly to his offensive core, Arshavin!

Arshavin, who has been in excellent form recently, can not only score goals by himself, but also rely on precise passing to help his teammates score goals!

On the assists list this season, Arshavin temporarily tops the list with 9 assists!

This time it's a feint!

After seemingly wanting to break through and press the opponent's position!

Arshavin directly dialed the ball backwards, opened up space, and then kicked the ball on the spot!

Good rhythm and great technical ability!

The ball goes directly to Pogrebnik in the penalty area!

Pogrebnyak, jump straight up for the header!

It's up!

It's a pity that under the interference of the opponent's central defender No. 4 Chekov, he didn't use his strength. The goalkeeper won the ball steadily!

Thanks to Zenit's offensive system, Pogrebnyak has already scored 13 goals in the league. If there is no injury in the next game, I believe that with such an excellent state, this season The League Golden Boot, will definitely be in the bag!

Because the number of Sparta Moscow players involved in the offense was too small, the possession of the ball quickly returned to Zenit's feet, and it was Zenit's turn to organize the offense again!

The cooperation of Arshavin and Dominguez, a 2 on 2 in the process of marching!

Cross position!

Then!

One foot straight!

Arshavin twitched his ankle and put the ball right behind the opponent's defender!

Dominguez goes straight behind the opponent and gets the ball!

Follow the trend and insert into the penalty area along the bottom line!

Facing the opponent's central defender who came to replace him!

Domingos directly made an inverted triangle!

The pass was so good that no defender could touch it!

Ziryanov!

Hit the door!

The ball went in!

The ball went in!

Ziryanov, who plugged in from behind, didn't waste this excellent inverted triangle pass!

Shoot directly!

The goalkeeper made a save, but it was too late!

Zenit scored the first goal in the away game! Only 12 minutes into the game, Zenit led 1-0 in the away game!

Arshavin and Dominguez tore through the home team's side defense. After that, Domingos made a non-greedy and extremely accurate inverted triangle pass. The ball was passed to the open space in the penalty area. Ziryanov who inserted it also had a wonderful shot!

Zenit's attack! Really unstoppable!

Advocaat on the sidelines was very pleased. His players showed their offensive talents more and more vividly. This feeling of scoring the first goal and taking the lead is really cool!

Continue to attack! Attack!

Advocaat didn't intend to play defense for victory after leading again! It is rare to have a strong team with considerable strength as a training partner. You must use the hard bone of the home team to verify the depth of your current team's strength. It is best to expose some problems that are worth solving!

But no one would have imagined how terrifying the current Zenit team is when it goes crazy!
