Football’s First Defender

After the score fell behind, although Zenit wanted to attack, but faced with Villarreal's crazy press, they did not have many opportunities. This time, they relied on Arshavin's personal ability to win their own First corner of the game!

For Zenit, who is being frantically suppressed by the home team at Love Song's home court, set-pieces have become a rare opportunity to attack at this moment!

Arshavin himself took the corner!

Yang Feng, Skrtel, and Pogrebnyak in the penalty area are all eager to try!

The corner kick is sent, Yang Feng has already passed the pick-and-roll of his teammates, successfully gained a positional advantage, and ran to the front point!

Arshavin's hand gesture before serving indicated the front point tactics. The Zenit players had seen it, and naturally they had to follow the tactics to create opportunities for Yang Feng, who was the team's best at grabbing the front point!

After all, the forward point leaves less reaction time for the defenders, and Yang Feng's advantage in judging the placement can be maximized. In addition, the accuracy of Arshavin's corner kick is also not low, and there is a general range of landing areas. Yang Feng only needs to judge the exact landing position, adjust his body position and angle appropriately, and complete the goal or pass before the opponent's defense is in place. The ball is just fine! This is also one of the set-piece tactics that Zenit focuses on! The core is Yang Feng!

This ball, the deviation is a bit big!

Yang Feng has already obtained a physical advantage under the pick-and-roll of his teammates in the penalty area, and Senna behind him cannot make an effective block. But seeing Arshavin's pass, Yang Feng knew that the ball could not hit the goal directly!

At this stage of the game, even Arshavin was affected by the opponent's fierce fighting, and his technical movements may be slightly deformed! This pass is really too floating, and it is still an arc towards the outside of the penalty area. According to Yang Feng's judgment, although he can touch the football after taking off, he can't complete an effective goal at all!

After confirming the landing point, Yang Feng still had time to aim at Senna, who was following him and defending him. Ball angle! For Yang Feng, it is impossible to find a way to stop the ball in the penalty area and adjust his shot.

I'll be the setter again! Let's see if the teammates in the penalty area can miss it!

All decisions are made in an instant!

When Cena stepped forward desperately, took off, and wanted to interfere with Yang Feng's header, or even block a certain angle, Yang Feng had already decided to make another selfless dedication to his teammates!

Headed kick! From Yang Feng!

Don't think that it's easy to hit a header. In fact, every high-quality header is no less difficult than a precise header! Of course, in the game, many of the headers behind the ball may really be intended to head the ball and cause accidental passes. But Yang Feng assures that his jerk after the header is genuine, not just a blind cat hitting a dead mouse!

After heading the ball, you must first judge the landing point of the quasi-football, and then you must have the ability to coordinate your body to complete the standard action at the exact time and take-off height. In addition to being unable to control the direction of the football due to the passing angle and take-off position The goal may be more demanding than a header!

This ball is up to you!

Yang Feng, who completed the second pass with the header, didn't even have time to turn his head to see how the pass was going in the air!

Pogrebnyak! Header!

Although Godin interfered with his take-off, his take-off height is still not as high as Boshen!

GOAL!

Pogrebnyak!

He headed the ball directly to the upper left corner! The ball went in!

Equalized for Zenit!

Zenit central defender Yang Feng slid behind the header from the previous point. Pogrebnyak plugged the ball in time and made a contribution to Zenit!

Although the score was 1-1 in this game and the total score of the two rounds was 2-1, Zenit only led by one goal, but due to the away goals, Villarreal will have to win at least two goals in order to win. Qualified for promotion!

Advocaat on the sidelines is now smiling, a chance to set the ball, not to mention regaining the lead, the key may completely wipe out the opponent's rare opportunity to start!

And Pellegrini was a little unwilling! Originally, the risk of letting the players use pressing tactics was to exchange physical fitness for the absolute initiative in the early stage, to strive for the lead in the first half, and even win a few more goals, and to defend with peace of mind when the physical strength was exhausted in the second half. Moreover, the goal has already been scored, and even the threat to the Zenit full-back from the two sides is getting bigger and bigger. When it is possible to score the second goal in one go, it encounters a head-on blow from the opponent!

Still lost points on the set-piece defense that was repeatedly emphasized. Before the game, I knew that the opponent's central defender and striker have strong header ability, and I also specially told them to focus on the opponent's three high points, but now let the opponent rely on set-piece tactics to score. Pellegrini was unwilling and dissatisfied, a corner kick dug a big hole with two balls...

As the big score became 2 to 1, the leading Zenit still has the advantage of away goals. The home team Villarreal can only continue to strengthen their offense at this moment. 2 goals to qualify!

We saw that everyone in Zenit in the away game has regained their spirits after scoring a goal, and they are all devoting themselves to defense. Even Pogrebnyak is running hard, trying to get in the middle circle Interfering with Senna's shot nearby!

On the other hand, the home team players on the other side, amidst the cheers of the fans, also started a new offensive. After all, there is still a lot of time in the game. The difference of 2 goals is not impossible to reverse!

Fernandez's breakthrough, Fernandez, who has been responsible for supporting and interspersing tasks before, covering the breakthrough personnel on the side, finally showed his full strength!

After Cazorla attracted enough defenders' attention and chose to pass back to the center, Fernandez dribbled the ball into the penalty area alone!

Although Shirokov occupies a defensive position, facing the flexible dribbling skills of the South American players, he is obviously a little bit alone, so he can only keep retreating, hoping for the help of his teammates!

Wow! The action of pedaling a bicycle!

Fernandez showed his skills to the fullest!

Before Tymoshchuk came to help defend, he used the action of stepping on the bicycle continuously to deceive Shirokov's center of gravity, and directly changed direction to accelerate!

Created a great shot angle!

Direct long shot!

Fernandez hit the goal directly!

Excellent quality! Fly to the upper left corner!

Malafeyev soars into the air!

It's worth touching a football with one palm!

Gate beam!

Such a high-quality shot, if it weren't for Malafeyev's save, this goal would definitely be the best goal of the week!

Facing the bouncing ball that hit the goal beam, Yang Feng decisively blocked Nihat behind him who wanted to catch a leak, and Skrtel nearby completed the rescue!

When the ball was dead, Malafeyev expressed his dissatisfaction to Shirokov and asked him to concentrate. Indeed, in front of the penalty area, he was swayed by the action of stepping on a bicycle, which gave the opponent an excellent Shirokov has an unshirkable responsibility for the angle of the shot!

After Zenit scored, Fernandez's performance became more and more active. At this time, Villarreal played three ways, which put great pressure on Zenit!
