Chapter 82 The Benefits of Exercising

While Chen Yingxiong was on vacation, Advocaat was busy building the team.He took over in the middle of last season, the players he can choose are limited, and the ones he can change are also very limited.In this way, he still led the team to fourth place in the league even though the team ranked in the middle. It must be said that his ability is still very powerful.

Of course, Chen Yingxiong's ten goals played a vital role in this.But Advocaat, who dared to take huge risks to give Chen Yingxiong a chance to start in the first team, is really remarkable.

He doesn't need to step in midway this season, and he can build a team that fits his requirements from the start.

First of all, he bought out full-back Fernando Ricksen, who was loaned from Scotland last season, at a price of 20 euros.

Increased the strength of the team's defense.Then he bought the 21-year-old Belgian young full-back Nicolas Lombaerts (Nicolas_Lombaerts) from AA_Gent in Belgium. This transfer cost the team 420 million euros.

Zenit St. Petersburg is frantically spending money to buy people in the transfer market to expand their strength.Some signings are not even to strengthen the main lineup, but to strengthen the bench lineup.

Advocaat knew very well that in the 2007 season, the team not only had to compete in the domestic league, but also competed in the UEFA Cup. If they fought on two fronts, they might collapse on both sides.So the thickness of the bench is very important.Conquering the world with only one lineup will not work.

The team also acquired Russian midfielder Konstantin Zyryanov for free from Torpedo Moscow.His arrival is mainly to strengthen the strength of the bench.

Next, Advocaat began to make shots in order to strengthen the main lineup.

He first introduced Argentine attacking midfielder Alejandro Dominguez (Alejandro_Dominguez) from Ruby Kazan for 700 million euros, a transfer fee that set a record for domestic transfer fees in Russia.

Dominguez became famous very early, and he became famous in the 2001 World Youth Championship.But it was also in that World Youth Championship that he had his leg broken in the match against France, and at one point even had to bid farewell to professional football.

In the end, he survived and joined the Russian team Rubin Kazan from River Plate in 2004, where he was the absolute main core.He played 76 times in three seasons and scored 25 goals. Especially last season, he played [-] times and scored [-] goals.

According to Advocaat's vision, as long as Chen Yingxiong can maintain the momentum of the last stage of last season, there is no problem in becoming the main center.

But a center like him is very dependent on the midfield to support him, so there must be someone who can deliver shells to him.Now there is an Arshavin, but not enough.After all, Radimov is old, and his condition is declining rapidly, and he needs fresh blood to replenish him.Dominguez is a good choice. In fact, before the start of last season, Ruby Kazan wanted to sell this player.The idea of ​​​​Ruby Kazan is really strange-they want to sell such an absolute core player.

Had it not been for not receiving a suitable offer, Dominguez would have left Ruby Kazan long ago.

After dragging on for a season, Rubin Kazan finally received a suitable offer and sold Domingos to a competitor at a record transfer fee in Russia's domestic league.

With Dominguez, Zenit's frontcourt attack will be even stronger.In Advocaat's mind, he, Arshavin, and Chen Yingxiong will form an invincible offensive triangle to attack the team.

Strengthening the strength of offense, it is natural to strengthen the strength of defense.

Advocaat has his eyes on Anatoliy_Tymoshchuk, the captain of the Shakhtar Donetsk team in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian midfielder has been famous for a long time. As the captain of Shakhtar Donetsk, he led the team to win the Ukrainian League Championship three times, the Ukrainian Cup Championship three times, and the Ukrainian Super Cup Championship once.Because of his outstanding performance in the World Cup in Germany last summer, he has attracted the attention of many giants. It is rumored that Juventus, Feyenoord, Celtic and Roma all want him.

But in the end he stayed with the miners.

Advocaat thinks Tymoshchuk is a very good midfielder.In the World Cup in Germany last summer, he was considered a key figure for Ukraine to finally break into the quarter-finals.Shevchenko is the captain of the team and he is the vice-captain.

The arrival of such an excellent midfielder will definitely greatly enhance the team's defensive ability in the midfield.

Advocaat just took office last season and brought three players from South Korea in one go, trying to establish his own lineage, but he found that these three Koreans were not very up to date.Last season was still in progress, and Hyun Yong-min was the first to fall behind. Due to his inability to adapt to the climate in Russia and his lack of strength, he was like sleepwalking on the court. He was sent to the reserve team after only a few games.

Then Advocaat was not very satisfied with Li Hao's performance last season. His defense in the midfield was not good enough, and his offensive contribution was even less.It seems to be out of sync with the whole team.

It's just that he couldn't find a better candidate to replace him before. Now that Advocaat plans to introduce Timoshchuk, there is naturally no place for Li Hao.

In the end, Zenit St. Petersburg spent more than 500 million euros to buy their captain Tymoshchuk from Shakhtar Donetsk.

The arrival of Tymoshchuk can greatly strengthen the team's defensive ability in the midfield.

On the front line, there is nothing to sign.

Sevilla once wanted to buy Kerrzakov from Zenit, but Advocaat refused.Panov has already been sent to the reserve team by him, and the manpower on the front line is relatively tight. It is impossible for him to let Kerzakov go.

He felt that the current reserve was just right.

There are only three serious forwards, Kerzakov, Taike and Chen Yingxiong.

Among them, Tek is the most tragic. Originally transferred from Trabzonspor in Turkey for 1000 million euros last season, he quickly became the main force and made many gains.Unexpectedly, due to an accidental injury, a guy named Chen Yingxiong was born out of nowhere.

He scored five goals like a lunatic in the three games, including a hat-trick. He was so radiant for a while that he was almost forgotten by others.

After finally coming back, I only played one league game, but because I was too impatient, I was injured in training again...

Now, when he watched Chen Yingxiong shoot a beautiful long shot against CSKA Moscow in front of the TV, he knew that his main position this season was gone...

It was as if Chen Yingxiong had fallen from the sky, and just like that, he took away his main position.

After the start of the new season, Tektronix tried its best to take back the main position from Chen Yingxiong.

After his analysis, Chen Yingxiong also has excellent headers, excellent physical fitness, and the ability to shoot long shots, but his hit rate is average, and he has no other advantages. His skills are very rough, and his passing is very average. A center forward stuck in the penalty area, such a person is the most likely to be watched dead by the opponent's defender...

But things didn't go as smoothly as he thought...

"Huh? Hero, I think you are fat?"

"That's not fat! It's strong! Strong strong strong!"

This dialogue happened many times in the training before the new season. Almost every teammate who saw Chen Yingxiong would ask this question, and then Chen Yingxiong would repeat the same answer.

Advocaat is very satisfied with Chen Yingxiong's physical fitness. Throughout the holiday, he was the only player who gained weight but lost fat.

The training before the start of the season was initially arranged for physical recovery training, which Chen Yingxiong completed very easily.Any fool can see that he didn't relax and exercise during the holidays.

Advocaat is happy with that.

Don't look at Chen Yingxiong who likes to go to nightclubs and play.But when the critical moment came, he was still able to hold on and knew what he should do.

He didn't ask Chen Yingxiong to do physical training during the vacation, but he did so, which shows that his professionalism is still acceptable.

Chen Yingxiong also felt the benefits of insisting on physical training during the holidays-he felt very relaxed from the beginning of the pre-season training, and he was able to cope with it with ease.

He has stored up enough stamina for the start of the new season.

Next, when combining ball training, Chen Yingxiong showed everyone the power of his two talent points this holiday.

After the "Heavy Cannon" talent is full, Chen Yingxiong often uses his long-range shots during team training games. He just wants to see what it looks like after the talent is full...

At the very least, he performed really well in training.

If there is no interference and he is allowed to shoot directly with his foot, he can already score six out of ten balls!This is an amazing scoring rate.

Of course, in the actual game, if confrontation and other complicated situations are encountered, the scoring rate will definitely not be so high, but even so, it is already remarkable.

In addition, Chen Yingxiong's shooting power is already very strong. Once his long shot is within the range of the goal frame, it will be a severe test for the goalkeeper.

What is the concept of a center with such an awesome long shot?

It's like O'Neal frequently pulls out of the three-point line to shoot three-pointers, and his shooting percentage is still very high!

Of course, because of the position, it is impossible for Chen Yingxiong to often pull out of the penalty area to shoot long shots like this. Most of the time he has to face the opponent's goal, so he cannot shoot long shots.

However, having such a scoring method can always benefit the team and him a lot.

think about it.At that time, when the penalty area was full of the opponent's dense defense, Chen Yingxiong suddenly retreated, received a pass from his teammate, and then swung his foot to shoot long!The football flew straight into the opponent's goal like a cannonball, and the opponent's goalkeeper watched the football enter the goal in a daze, without making any saves...

What a refreshing thing this is!

For Chen Yingxiong, this gave him an extra weapon and insurance in the team's internal striker competition.

A center who can not only rush to the front to smash the opponent's goal with his head, but also use long-range shots to make cold arrows can definitely enrich the team's offensive tactics and routines. For the head coach, this means that he There is also one more weapon...

Tek now feels that he will not be able to compete for the main position this season...
