Football’s First Defender

The game has been on for 25 minutes! Zenit firmly occupies the advantage on the field! With as many as 70% possession of the ball, and absolutely crushed shooting data and passing data, it is now close to breaking the Glasgow Rangers' barrel line to score a goal!

Before the game, everyone knew that Zenit was not only superior in strength, but various off-court factors were also developing in favor of Zenit! Especially the physical advantage, Zenit's rest adjustment, preparation time is too sufficient!

In the game, Zenit fully displayed his strength, although he has not scored a goal! But after several shots by adjusting the sights, the long-range shots of Dimoshchuk and others have become more and more threatening!

Arshavin, Domingos, and Denisov, the three frontcourt players who have both speed and technique, have used their long-term understanding of each other to create several opportunities in the constant crossover runs, especially Just now, Arshavin, diagonally inserted to the left, caused confusion in the Marking of the Rangers in Glasgow by transposition. Domingos’s pass was also a perfect grasp of timing and strength. Arshavin took advantage of the kick in the penalty area. Door, quite threatening! Had it not been for the excellent save of goalkeeper Alexander, this shot within the range of the goal frame would very likely change the score on the field!

"Now is Zenit's corner kick!"

"Although the Glasgow Rangers are indeed in a weak position, they should still have an advantage in set-piece defense!"

"As a British team, the tall bodies of the two central defenders needless to say. The midfielder and full-back, as well as the high center forward, can definitely compete with Zenit players in terms of height, and even the average team height. The wanderer is slightly beyond!"

"This also makes Zenit not as dominant in set kick tactics as in previous games!"

"Arshavin's corner kick is sent!"

"Pogrebnyak is outside the small restricted area, struggling to jump for the top!"

"Perhaps in a sports battle, considering running factors, Cuelar can't completely limit Boshen! But in this kind of set-kick defense, under standing position, the two are definitely 50-50! "

"The pass of Arshavin is an arc, strength, and height, but Pogrebnyak still failed to directly complete the threatening goal in the race for the top!"

"Under the interference of Cuelar's take-off, Pogrebnyak's header hit the goal. Before it flew out, Cuelar's head was reached and he changed the route and flew to the other side!"

"The second point!"

"Position to your side!"

"The players from both sides huddled together!"

"Who can get it?"

After the ball was touched by Cuellal's head, it flew slightly outwards, which made it impossible for goalkeeper Alexander to take the high ball. In fact, Alexander really wanted to try it out, but after two steps forward, seeing that there was no chance, he quickly stepped back to the door line!

"Yang Feng! In this second place of contention, occupy the most powerful position!"

"Thomason wanted to jump and interfere, but under the pressure of Yang Feng's physical strength, the height of the jump was not enough to pose a threat to Yang Feng!"

"Header ferry!"

"Yang Feng didn't choose a long-range header to hit the goal!"

"Instead, the ball is directly pushed to the edge of the small penalty area!"

"Because everyone rushed to the ball's landing just now, there is indeed enough space in the small penalty area!"

"Arshavin! Arshavin, who finished the corner kick before! Already interspersed in the penalty area!"

Barrels must not lose the ball! In the face of a team with excellent offensive firepower, the iron bucket actually only conceded 0 goals and more goals conceded.

For a strong team with an absolute advantage, it only needs to score the first goal and then use the ball to let the opponent take the initiative to attack. Then Zenit, who is playing offensively, will have more to face the opponent's loose formation. Chance to kill the game!

Arshavin now has an absolute chance to break the deadlock! Yang Feng's header ferry is just right, absolutely empty, and the only downside to hitting at such close range is that the angle is too small, but for Arshavin, this angle is also enough!

"Arshavin! Shoot!"

"Kick the door from a small angle!"

"GoaL!"

"Arshavin! First record for Zenit!"

"Faced with Yang Feng's header ferry, Arshavin slammed his body directly and shot a close corner! Rangers goalkeeper Alexander couldn't make a save, and Arshavin's kick went through the goal like this!"

"Zenit! In the 27th minute of the game, he scored the first goal, leading the Glasgow Rangers 1-0!"

"In less than half an hour, he was broken through his own iron barrel formation. Now the Glasgow Rangers can only rely on their own offense to try to tie the score!"

Perhaps, the Rangers do need a goal to equalize the score, but before the Rangers start their own offense, Zenit's new wave of offensive is coming more fiercely!

Using the high-pressure defense of the frontcourt, Domingos actually forced the Rangers' backcourt players and made a pass error!

Zilyanov, who was in the midfield, took two steps forward and cut off the opponent's soft pass! Zenit's counterattack on the spot!

"Ziryanov! Successfully intercepted in the midfield! He took the ball and pushed forward!"

"The Wanderers' mistakes at critical moments~www.NovelMTL.com~ Now there are not enough defenders in the backcourt to complete the interception!"

"Ziryanov's advancing speed is extremely fast, and the defenders behind him can't catch up at all, so they can only be made up by central defender Kueral!"

"But in this way, the empty space in the restricted area appears!"

"While moving at high speed, Zilyanov looked at the timing, a decelerated and accurate straight plug!"

"Slide the ball straight to the penalty area, and the right side behind Cuelal is empty!"

"Pogrebnyak just ran to the left, holding down another central defender, Will!"

"Domingos! Interspersed into this void!"

"Ziryanov's pass has excellent power and angle control. With Broadford, who defends Domingos, there is no way to intercept this pass in advance! Only in Domingo Goss followed closely behind!"

"Domingos, touch the football that comes and hit the goal!"

"Broadford flew directly out! I want to stop the kick!"

"But! Fake action!"

"Such a moment! Domingos was not in a hurry! Instead, he used a fake action of hitting the door with a kick and successfully swayed the Broadford who defended him!"

"Spike to the other side!"

"Dribbling diagonally!"

"The goalkeeper wants to attack!"

"But Domingos has already adjusted his goal!"

"GoaL!"

"Domingos!"

"Scored the second goal for Zenit!"

"At such a close position, without the interference of defenders, the goalkeeper's role is minimal! Domingos has no soft feet. A volley aimed at the far corner directly sends the ball into the net!"

"Zenit, scored 2 goals in a short time! Almost killed the suspense of the game!"
