Football’s First Defender

The game has gone on for 55 minutes. Logically speaking, Zenit should score another goal early to win the game completely, and then let the main players rest to prepare for the next UEFA Cup!

However, in the opening 10 minutes, although Zenit still played against the opponent, it is obvious that the offensive tactics are a bit single!

A few frontcourt players, from the beginning of the second half of the game, blindly pass from the bottom to the bottom!

Even there were some opportunities to cut into the penalty area, but Arshavin and Dominguez had no choice. They still went to the bottom with one brain, and then went to the bottom!

Is Zenit experimenting with some new tactics?

What is the result of playing on the side without thinking? Of course, there are more opportunities to get corner kicks!

In just 10 minutes of the second half, Zenit took 3 corner kicks!

It's a pity that although the opponent's defense has no way to face the little fast-spirited players in sports battles, it has an absolute advantage in set-piece defense!

Two corner kicks for Pogrebnyak and one for Skrtel were all pushed out by the opponent first, but everything was expected!

Indeed, Pogrebnyak is an excellent high center forward!

However, in this kind of set kick, facing a central defender who is not inferior to him in physique, Boshen still can't completely get rid of it and get enough space to take off!

Is this kind of low pass and set-piece tactics purely for the purpose of scoring goals for Boshen and ensuring his golden boots? With the accumulation of numbers, sooner or later Boshen will have a good chance to score a goal!

Narrator, I can only imagine some of the reasons for Zenit's simple and boring tactics!

Yang Feng in the backcourt clenched his fists and watched the offense of his teammates in the frontcourt!

Thank you everyone!

Yang Feng silently thanked his teammates in his heart.

Everything is going according to plan, and it's up to me!

…………

It's Dominguez again, Dominguez forcibly broke through the bottom line!

Because it has been breaking through the bottom, it can be clearly seen that the defensive players of the visiting team are already prepared!

but!

This is a player with strong personal ability!

Dominguez relies on his own little technique!

Still passed the ball!

Unfortunately, Pogrebnyak's header in the middle was dragged out of the goal by the goalkeeper! Another corner kick!

Zenit's 6th corner of the game!

We can see that Yang Feng and Skrtel rarely appeared in the camera. In the second half, the opponents had fewer and fewer opportunities to counterattack. Opportunity, come forward and show your face!

The main focus of the visiting team is naturally Boshen!

Arshavin's previous three passes were all towards the area in front of the goal. The focus is on Boshen!

And Boshen also has the qualifications to make every team send more people to fight the defense!

The ball is out!

This ball is a tactical corner kick!

Arshavin didn't choose to cross immediately after the run-up, but gently dialed the ball out!

Passed to Anyukov who suddenly stepped forward from the wing!

Anyukov made a cross with a wider arc!

It's a great pass!

middle!

GOAL!

The ball went in!

Yang Feng! Zenit's central defender! Yang Feng!

Scored the third goal of the match for Zenit!

Zenit, who played at home, took a 3-0 lead at 59 minutes into the game! Basically, the victory can be declared!

Let us watch the replay of this ball. Yang Feng was originally standing in the middle to compete for the top this time, but when Arshavin ran up, he started to squeeze out!

Under the certain physical confrontation given by other teammates to the defenders, Yang Feng successfully gained a physical advantage, ran out of the densely populated area, and came to the front point!

And Anyukov's pass accurately circled a big arc and came to the front point!

Yang Feng hit the goal with a beautiful head shake!

Because the ball was too close, the goalkeeper didn't react, and the ball flew into the goal from a close point!

Huh? When we looked back to the sidelines, Yang Feng and his teammates did not celebrate together, but took off their jerseys, revealing the inner lining!

Then kneel down and point to the sky!

The other teammates didn't intend to disturb Yang Feng's celebration!

The camera gave a close-up, but I'm sorry, because it is neither Russian nor English, it may be Chinese, and the content of the writing has to wait for confirmation...

The referee gave Yang Feng a yellow card for undressing and celebrating, but!

I just got the confirmation. Yang Feng's exposed inner lining reads 'The goal is dedicated to you! Dear grandpa!', combined with the fact that Yang Feng left the team for two weeks due to personal reasons in the previous game...

It seems that the reason for Zenit's abnormality in the second half has been found, and that is to work together to fulfill Yang Feng's wish to score a goal in this game!

From Yang Feng's goal, we can see how harmonious Zenit's interior is.

The whole team made certain sacrifices for Yang Feng's goal!

…………

After leading 3-0, Zenit replaced Arshavin, Tymoshchuk, and Dominguez in one go! It seems that they are planning to call it quits!

And the visiting team may have seen the hope of scoring goals from the leaders in the away game after seeing Zenit's idea of ​​withdrawing troops! They actually have some intentions to come out and attack!

However! Today's Yang Feng is in a particularly good state!

The away team's chance to attack from the wing!

Finally got a chance to cross!

But Yang Feng managed to grab the spot and headed the ball!

…………

Another chance for the visiting team! With Tymoshchuk's departure, it is obvious that Zenit's midfield control has dropped a lot!

This time directly pass!

Is there a chance?

Skrtel's recovery speed is a bit slow!

Yang Feng! Yang Feng!

At the critical moment, Yang Feng came from the other side to make up for it. When the visiting team's striker finished hitting the goal, he slid the tackle at the same time! He blocked the ball and did not give Malafeev a chance to be tested!

…………

Yang Feng's Replacement;

Yang Feng's Header;

Yang Feng broke the ball and counterattacked directly with the ball;

Yang Feng...

Yang Feng...

Maybe the visiting team just wanted to score a face-saving goal, but Yang Feng was the mountain they couldn't get over!

Although Zenit's midfield defense has some flaws in the final stage of the game, no one will blatantly release water, that is the rhythm of not wanting to play in the future!

In addition, the strength of the visiting team is really mediocre, and relegation is purely based on being inferior to other teams.

So there is no perfect opportunity, most of them are just ordinary passes, Yang Feng naturally looks like a godsend, frantically swiping all kinds of defensive statistics in the backcourt!

Yang Feng's interception! Once again, he successfully rushed to the position where the opponent passed the ball and completed the interception!

Yang Feng didn't take the ball too much, and the ball went straight to Denisov on the wing with a long pass!

Excellent counterattack opportunity!

Denisov is flat in front of him! It's just a pity that Yang Feng's pass landed too close to the sideline!

Defensive players, chasing after him frantically! Denisov on the outside couldn't get rid of it completely, won enough space, and changed direction to enter the penalty area!

Denisov didn't delay! A 45-degree diagonal pass!

The ball was passed into a huge gap in the back of the penalty area

Pogrebnyak!

The running Boshen is just a humanoid tank. A single defensive player can't stop it completely!

Boshen still rushed to the position with a person attached to him, and volleyed with one kick!

This ball uses the outer instep a little bit, and there is a little change of direction during the flight!

GOAL!

Boshen, score another goal for Zenit! At the last moment of the game, Zenit scored another goal and the score became 4-0!

…………

Throughout the entire game, Yang Feng's game state was excellent, and he performed well on both ends of the offense and defense!

Whether in the first half of the game when Zenit was the main attack, facing the counterattack of the visiting team; or in the second half, when the visiting team started to play positional warfare due to their own substitutions, Yang Feng always performed impeccably in the defense. !

Compare the two games without Yang Feng with this one! You can see the existence of Yang Feng, which makes Zenit's defense more reassuring!

Whoever said that the guard position must be a veteran who has experienced years, experience may indeed be necessary for an excellent central defender, but Yang Feng, with just half a season in the Russian Super League, proved that sometimes talent can also let you Ignore his inexperience!

After missing two games, Yang Feng and the team used a hearty 4-0 to announce that the Zenit team is back!

King's return!
