Chapter 40 Return of the King (2)
Zenit's offensive continues unabated!
For this goal, Domingos used his skillful foot skills to cause great confusion to the visiting team's defense during the breakthrough process!
After successfully feinting past the opponent's full-back, Dominguez chose to cut directly inside and dribble along the penalty area line!
This position is already very dangerous, and you can shoot directly. Even if you want to give up Arshavin, who you are staring at at this time, Sukharev, the midfielder closest to Dominguez, still has to rush forward to block. Let A professional player, or a South American attacker, shoots without interference in the penalty area! What is the difference between that and a penalty kick!
A nice through plug!
Such a short distance does not require too much through force, just a shake of the ankle!
Dominguez's pass control is really good!
Arshavin! Face the attacking goalkeeper!
A left-footed goal, a light shot, and the ball flies to the opposite corner!
Pillar! Pillar!
The pillar at home saved the wonderful goal of our own players!
It will be wonderful if this goal is scored!
Facing the filling full-back, Dominguezco passed the ball to the empty space in time!
And Arshavin, who was unmarked for a short time in the penalty area, did not wait blindly, but chose to continue running laterally to obtain a better shooting position and shooting space!
Dominguez and Arshavin have a good understanding at this moment. Both sides have thought of what the other party will do, and they have completed the wonderful cooperation they wanted by relying on their own abilities. The only pity is that this one near the penalty spot Arshavin chased the angle too much, the ball hit the outside of the post and bounced out of the goal!
Otherwise, the two players played such an excellent small-scale cooperation in the opponent's penalty area, which is definitely one of the top ten goals in the Russian Super League this round!
Zenit is still leading 1-0!
…………
Zenit's offensive players are a nightmare for most teams' defenses! Not only because of the gap in the players' personal abilities, but also because of the style of restraint!
During Zenit's offensive breaks on the field, when the ball was in control, the commentator immediately began to introduce the basic situation of the team to the audience!
The defense of most teams in the Russian Super League is aimed at the general tactics of other teams. That is to say, to prevent the winger's bottom pass from the wing, and the defenders and midfielders in the middle generally use the kind of tall and strong players. The power type is for hand-to-hand combat and to prevent the opponent's high center forward from competing for the header!
But Zenit's players, although they also have Pogrebniak's big killer in hand-to-hand combat in the penalty area, other frontcourt players need speed and skill, and often They can work together to create a wonderful pass-and-cut coordination!
Because of their own flexibility, Arshavin, Dominguez, and even Denisov are all types that other teams' defenses are unwilling to face!
Coupled with the passing and intercepting abilities of the midfielder, as well as the two full-backs, they all have certain offensive attributes!
Zenit's offense at this stage is like waves hitting the shore, one wave after another, putting a lot of pressure on the opponent's defense!
Of course, Zenit's back defense is there. Because the offensive players are too high, the back defense is obviously short of manpower, but whether it can make use of the seemingly huge space depends on the individual teams. level!
…………
Yang Feng!
In the face of this long pass, I got stuck in the position very easily. Under the interference of the opponent's forward, I successfully competed for the top and pushed the ball out of the sideline! The opponent's counterattack returned in vain again!;
It's Yang Feng again! This time, because the opponent's pass was really too strong, Yang Feng stuck his position firmly, with his back and arms spread out, blocking the attacking player's path and escorting the football out of the baseline! ;
Yang Feng ran at full speed, swung his calf directly, kicked the ball out of bounds with the fastest speed, and jumped up to avoid the opponent's tackle that had no time to stop! Such a seemingly half-ball chance, when Yang Feng When you choose to fight, it must become Zenit's 100% possession of the ball!
Yang Feng...
Yang Feng...
It is not that the visiting team has no chance to counterattack, but due to the lack of strength of its own players, it is really impossible to rely on precise passing to threaten Zenit's defense and avoid Yang Feng's destruction!
Yang Feng, who was delayed, had more reaction time and greater freedom of movement. For the xjbt passes of the visiting team, Yang Feng almost missed none of them. If he could control it, he would directly counterattack, and if he couldn't, he would destroy it out of bounds and let the opponent The counterattack couldn't even get a chance to shoot!
…………
The first half of the game is coming to an end. Although the score is still 1-0, Zenit has taken 12 shots so far. If it is not a matter of luck, I believe it is more than 2-0 and 3-0 now! The most regrettable Of course it’s Arshavin’s pillar!”
Arshavin switched positions with Denisov this time and came to the left side of the court! Anyukov also stepped in. The visiting team's defense on the right side is facing a huge crisis again!
Anyukov passed the ball to Arshavin, and then he went into the penalty area without the ball!
Arshavin does not stop the ball and goes straight forward!
It happened to be a gap in Anyukov's running route!
Anyukov led the ball and attracted the attention of the visiting team's defenders in the penalty area!
Will you hit the door directly?
A pass again!
Arshavin!
After completing the pass, Arshavin also ran without the ball, along the line of the penalty area, and found a position without the opponent's defender!
Stop the ball, Arshavin! Continue to lead into the penalty area!
The defensive player who was attracted by Anyukov's plug-in just turned around quickly, trying to block the angle of Arshavin's shot!
Take another step to the right, and then! Hit the door directly!
Goal! Arshavin!
Arshavin took a step in the penalty area, shot a strong shot, and aimed directly at the upper right corner of the goal!
Although the goalkeeper tried his best to fly in the air and wanted to save him, there was still nothing he could do!
This ball is really good! The ball is high and powerful. After passing the goalkeeper's palm, it has a rapid drop and falls into the goal! It's not just a flat draw!
Arshavin and Anyukov pierced through Lungia's defense. After hitting the wall and cooperating, Arshavin, who played the opponent's defense in the applause, made a wonderful shot and hit the upper right corner of the goal. The score was 2 to 0, Zenit expanded the score advantage before half-time!
Because the halftime of the game is almost over, Zenit did not continue to seize the time to attack, and mainly poured the ball from the backcourt to save energy for the second half!
It's more like the visiting team going through the motions. When they lose a goal, they may still want to gain something by counterattacking, but with 2 goals behind, the running of the visiting team's midfielders is decreasing, and they may no longer want to waste energy. Kick it down!
During the intermission, Advocaat did not allow the players to attack freely in the second half as usual, but focused on the tactics of hitting the opponent's two sides and crossing from the bottom!
Everyone also expressed their understanding, especially Arshavin, Denisov and Dominguez, who were the executors of the frontcourt attack, all expressed that they would resolutely play the opponent's wing in the second half...
