Football’s First Defender

Chapter 38 Peakless Zenit

As Advocaat, who has coaching experience in the East, he is well aware of the influence of filial piety on a person in the traditional culture of the East, so he is not in a hurry to get Yang Feng back. With a huge advantage, it is very humane to give Yang Feng a two-week vacation!

How would Zenit perform without Yang Feng?

At least the first game, no problem!

In the eighteenth round of the Russian Super League, Zenit played against the visiting Amkar at home!

Although the away team is weak, but the defensive training is quite methodical, 8 away games this season, only conceded 5 goals!

In the 3 away games against the Moscow trio, Sparta, Dynamo, and Locomotive, they achieved an impressive record of 1 win and 2 draws, which can be called a giant killer!

But in the face of Zenit, whose state is bursting, Amkar's defense still has problems!

"GOAL! In the 23rd minute of the game, Zenit finally broke through Amkar's iron barrel formation!"

"A long shot from Tymoshchuk!"

"Facing Arshavin, Denisov, and Dominguez attacking the penalty area in turn, Amkar's defense was too flat!"

"Tymoshchuk has already taken a long shot before, and the front sight has been adjusted!"

"This ball, facing the defensive space in the middle, Tymoshchuk seized the opportunity! A cloud-piercing arrow successfully opened the scoring for Zenit!"

"Zenit's offensive firepower is really unstoppable in the Russian Super League!"

"No one expected that Zenit, which has so many skilled players in the rough style of the Russian Super League, actually showed a different attack for many Russian Super League teams by relying on its unique style of play. aesthetics!"

"Although Yang Feng has returned to his motherland due to personal reasons, he is expected to miss two weeks of games, but even though today's central defender combination is Skrtel and Hagen, who has been out of battle for a long time, Zenit still does not change its insistence on attacking. idea!"

…………

"GOAL!"

"Arshavin! Arshavin is in hot form recently!"

"Captured the gaps left by the increasingly loose defense line after the opponent started to attack!"

"Dominguez's pass is really a demon!"

"Through the defender's wicket!"

"It was passed directly to the feet of Arshavin who just ran into the penalty area!"

"When Arshavin stopped the ball, he turned around and shot! The goalkeeper was not prepared at all, and the ball flew directly into the net!"

"The goalkeeper of the visiting team roared at his central defender! This ball is definitely the negligence of the player who marked Arshavin! In the penalty area, he didn't step forward to defend, not only giving Arshavin room to get the ball, but even when he turned around and shot. Still not providing enough interference, maybe the mentality of the Amkar players has been out of balance!"

"Zenit has achieved a 2-0 lead! It seems that a victory will be embraced by the home team again!"

…………

"65 minutes into the second half of the game, Zenit's offense still has no sign of diminishing. Instead, the visiting team lags behind. It seems to be giving up on itself!"

"The players of the visiting team on the field obviously only hoped that the game would end quickly. Throughout the second half, they didn't attack much. They had a few chances to counterattack, but they were hasty and didn't cooperate patiently. Whoever got it The ball, just hit the goal with a long shot!"

"This one chance! Pogrebnyak! Another goal for Zenit!"

"A wide assist from Arshavin!"

"Boshen overwhelmed his opponent this time and directly hit the goal with a header. This kind of violent aesthetics is the most in line with the aesthetics of the Russians!"

"Zenit led 3-0, completely ending the suspense of the game!"

"We can see that the goalkeeper on the Zenit field has become the most relaxed person. Malafeev has only completed one save in this game so far, and it is still a long-range shot that is basically not threatening!"

In the end, Zenit easily defeated their opponents at home. The score of 3 to 0 showed that Zenit is now at the dominant level in the Russian Super League!

Due to another field, Spartak Moscow, was once again drawn by the opponent in the away game! The gap between Zenit and the second place has opened up by 2 points, 11 points, and 12 rounds of the schedule. Zenit's league championship is getting closer!

Just as Yang Feng took the flight ahead of time and returned to St. Petersburg, Zenit went to Moscow again to challenge Dynamo Moscow, but this time, Zenit's away game was not all smooth sailing!

"The ball is in! The ball is in!"

"A beautiful counterattack opportunity!"

"Markov played with Eric Hagen, the last barrier of Zenit's defense!"

"A beautiful croquette outstanding! Hagen's been clean!"

"Facing the goalkeeper afterwards, Markov calmly pushed the far corner and succeeded!"

"Dynamo Moscow is at home, giving the league leader with 7 consecutive victories a blow. 1 to 0, Zenit is away and lagging behind!"

…………

"Another one! Another one!"

"Poor Norwegian international! Facing the sensitive Markov, Hagen's slightly bulky body really can't keep up!"

"In the counterattack, Hagen picked the ball lightly and wanted to block the opponent with his body, but Markov evaded the interception sensitively, followed by a blast shot and scored the goal! Dynamo Moscow has already achieved 2-0 lead! Is Zenit's 7-game winning streak finally coming to an end?"

…………

"Arshavin! Arshavin! GOAL!"

"When the team faced adversity, Arshavin stood up again, a wonderful long shot! After relying on a turn to get rid of a certain angle, he immediately kicked the goal! A beautiful banana ball! The arc of the ball is drawn It was great, the goalkeeper seemed to block the angle, but the ball passed the goalkeeper's palm from the far end and spun into the goal! The score was 2 to 1, and Arshavin's goal made the second half of the game full of excitement. suspense!"

"With Zenit's recent outstanding offensive performance, it is not difficult to complete the overtake!"

"Ah! The wonderful first half of the game is not over yet!"

"Markov again! Hat-trick! Hat-trick! Markov's half-time hat-trick!"

"Zenit's players have not recovered from the joy of scoring just now, and they suffered another blow!"

"After the kick-off came, Alexander, the core midfielder of Dynamo Moscow, made a direct pass!"

"The ball hits the middle of Skrtel and Hagen!"

"Both of them were a little dazed and modest, and they didn't step forward to block the ball immediately. Markov, who quickly inserted himself, faced the bouncing football directly, and shot with one foot, successfully scoring and completing a hat-trick!"

"For this goal, the central defender combination with the longest time has no tacit understanding?"

"Sure enough, it's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but hard to go from extravagant to frugal! Perhaps the ball should indeed be defended by Skrtel, who is more mobile, but Skrtel, who has been partnering with Yang Feng, is obviously used to Yang Feng fighting for it." This kind of one-half goal, but this time, Yang Feng is not on the court!"

"At the last moment of the first half, both sides scored a goal and the score was 3 to 1. Dynamo Moscow led the leader Zenit by 2 goals at home! Among them, Markov completed a hat-trick in the half!"

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Although Zenit's performance has recovered, it is still unable to reverse the result of the game!

In the 68th minute, Pogrebnyak relied on a corner kick and successfully scored a goal! Bringing the score back to 3 to 2, Zenit is only one goal behind!

However, in the final onslaught, Zenit's defense was once again pierced by a counterattack!

The home team successfully relied on the counterattack and scored another goal! In the end, Zenit, who won seven consecutive league victories, lost to Moscow and swallowed the bitter fruit of failure!

The score of 4 to 2 may be just a coincidence, but the content of this game is still worth thinking about!

Without Yang Feng's back line, they still couldn't support it. Under the frenzied attack, the defensive gaps were exposed!

Fortunately, Yang Feng is finally coming back!
