Football’s First Defender

"Mr. Edvorkat! Pogrebnyak's outstanding performance! It is rumored that Moscow teams and even foreign teams want to introduce him. Is Zenit ready to renew his contract? ?"

　　 "Comrade coach! What made you abandon Krizanatz, and when you fell behind Hagen and injured you, you sent Yang Feng, who had no professional game experience!"

　　 "First Korean, then Chinese! Mr. Coach thinks that Asian players can better integrate into the Russian Super League team than other foreign players?"

　　 "Will Yang Feng be the main force of the team afterwards?"

　　 After a victory, Ed Wo Carter was naturally full of spring breeze and happily came to accept the post-match interview!

　　 But in the face of some sensitive issues, the old Dutch man still hmmmmmm and perfunctory!

　　 What should I say, what shouldn't I worry about myself, as a veteran coach who has been in football for so long, Ed Wocart still has the middle number of AC!

Pogrebnyak scored twice and was naturally the brightest star in the game. However, as a rookie central defender who came off the bench, Yang Feng could immediately enter the rhythm of the game and deliver the key in the final stage of the game. His assists also attracted some media attention!

　　 "Rookie central defender, sent a key assist! Help Zenit win at home!"

　　 "The youth training achievements of Zenit Youth Team shine in St. Petersburg!"

　　 "The rookie Zhongwei who turned out to be born!"

　　 Anyway, Liu Yue bought all the local newspapers related to Yang Feng and kept it as a memorial to Yang Feng’s first professional game!

　　 "I don't even have a face, I don't have a card face!"

The few reporters on the scene captured more of Pogrebnyak’s heroic goal during the game. As for Yang Feng’s assist, this sudden incident was of course missed. After all, who would be in the game. In the middle, it’s okay to point the camera at a fledgling kid. Is the cost unnecessary?

　　 "Sure enough, everything is fake to become famous. Just know my name and don't know what the looks are!"

　　……………………

Because of the fact that there are few teams in the Russian Super League, and the cup matches are New Year's Eve, there is no need for the so-called one-week double matches like the five major leagues. Except for the national team’s day of rest, the entire Russian Super League will remain in the first half of the year. With a good rhythm of the game once a week!

　　 After a day off after the game, Zenit ushered in the assembly again! Start preparing for Sunday's game!

　　 "Hagen is injured and will stop for four weeks! During this time, Yang Feng, you can directly participate in training as the main center defender!"

After careful consideration, Ed Wocart decided to strengthen Yang Feng. After all, Yang Feng's performance in the first game was remarkable. He had a pretty good performance on the defensive end and set the ball. He took advantage of the trend to promote him to the main force. No one will gossip!

　　 However, Yang Feng's success in the upper ranks still caused Krizanaz to hurt a lot. Originally, as the team’s first backup center back, Krizanatz, he had won about 20 appearances every year in the first two seasons. Now Yang Feng is ranked in front of him. After a month, Hagen will return. You may lose your position!

　　 "Summer transfer period, if it doesn't work, apply for a transfer and leave Zenit!"

　　 The world of football is sometimes so cruel. Although it looks great to earn a salary without playing a game, if you don’t have enough game accumulation, your next professional contract will obviously shrink a lot!

Yang Feng, who finally got the chance to play for the first team, did not relax his requirements during training. He is still willing to use himself to run more and expand the defensive area to make up for his lack of physical confrontation at this stage. He asked the coaching staff Prove that you can adapt to the intensity of professional competition!

　　 This weekend, Zenit will go away to challenge CSKA Moscow! A mountain that you must cross to win the championship!

　　 CSKA Moscow has been the champion of the Russian Super League for two consecutive seasons. It is a strong and resilient team in the dominance of the Russian Super League! There are many international players in the team, and there are outstanding foreign aids. Coupled with various off-court factors, there is a tendency to want 3 consecutive championships this season!

　　 In 2005, it was this CSKA Moscow composed of nearly the same Russian domestic personnel. It had the last laugh in the UEFA Cup and won the Russian League team, the first European championship! The strength is evident!

And this season, CSKA Moscow, limited by its weak away game, has a record of four draws and one loss without a win. Although it is only ranked third, it is only behind Zenit and Sparta Moscow, who are tied for the first place. Minute. Is relying on the best home results of the Russian Super League!

　　 5 home goals scored 11 goals, 4 wins and 1 draw to remain unbeaten, home offensive firepower is guaranteed, defense is not leaking, for Zenit, it is really a difficult bone!

　　 As the focus of this round, this game has naturally received strong attention in Russia.

Even in order to take care of the large number of Moscow fans who can watch the football live, the game was changed to Luzhniki Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people. For this focus battle, it is still difficult to find a ticket. The grand occasion!

　　 As a new era, it can be called a Russian national derby game, still decided to let Yang Feng start, for Ed Wo Carter, is also under tremendous pressure.

　　 If Yang Feng loses the game and performs poorly, both Yang Feng and Edvard Carter will be under pressure from national public opinion.

　　 In the training class, Ed Wo Carter also rarely prepared for this game in detail.

　　 "On Sunday's game, at Luzhniki Stadium, I decided to be on the safe side and do my own defense first!"

　　 "Although the game is not at the home stadium that CSKA Moscow is familiar with, with the shouts of tens of thousands of home fans, I believe they will definitely stick to their tactics of onslaught at home!"

　　 "Although I believe that our offensive firepower is not weaker than anyone in the Russian Super League, but after all, it is an away game, and there is no problem with appropriately lowering the posture. It is not a bad thing to occasionally play a defensive counterattack!"

　　 "In this game, we also enjoy the pleasure of defensive counterattack!"

　　 "Now I determine the approximate starting lineup. If there is no accident, I will play with this lineup on Sunday!"

　　 "Goalkeeper! Malafeyev!"

　　The starting goalkeeper at the beginning of the season was the Slovak national goalkeeper, Kontfalski. He became the scapegoat for the entire defense. In the last two rounds, he returned to the bench to watch the ball!

　　 "Defensive line: Anyukov, Scott, Yang Feng, Jin Dongjin!"

　　 "Tymoshchuk and Konstantin Ziryanov partnered with a double midfielder, responsible for the team's midfield defense!"

　　 "Denisov and Dominguez are playing on the two sides! Pogrebnyak's single arrow is at the forefront, and Arshavin, as a free agent in the frontcourt, comes to connect the small-scale cooperation of the frontcourt!"

"When defending, except for Pogrebnyak, everyone else must return to the half court when the opponent is attacking! We must limit the opponent's attack and don't let the opponent get the opportunity to shoot easily. As for the counterattack, you can Directly find the forward as the fulcrum, or you can directly pass to the side. I believe in your own ability to capture fighters..."

　　 After the approximate starting lineup is determined, it is natural to conduct tactical drills against CSKA Moscow during training!

　　 Fortunately, as one of the most local teams in the Russian Super League, Zenit’s bench players are still capable, at least as an imaginary enemy to train more than enough!

　　Sunday, Moscow, Luzhniki Stadium, the battle is about to start!

　　 "Welcome everyone to watch Russian National TV! This game is the 11th round of the Russian Super League. CSKA Moscow will be at the Luzhniki Stadium to meet the challenge of the St. Petersburg Zenit team!"

"Before this round, Zenit and Sparta Moscow led the league standings with 19 points, while CSKA Moscow, which had a poor away record, ranked third with a difference of 2 points! This is a decision to compete for the championship. Strong dialogue of the situation!"

　　 "I believe that CSKA Moscow will have an easier schedule in the future, as long as it solves its offensive problem in the away field and gets back on track to win the Russian Super League three consecutive championships!"

"For CSKA Moscow, this game is an excellent opportunity to catch up with Zenit. As long as the home field is as strong as ever this season, UU will win and CSKA Moscow will overtake Zenit. Special, at least ranked second in the league!"

"On the other hand, the visiting team, as an emerging giant that has invested heavily in signings during the offseason and renewed contracts to retain core players. In the past three consecutive games against the last few teams in the league, although they have not lost, they have not lost two games. In the 1-1 draw, we still lost 4 points, which should have gotten the points! Otherwise, Zenit could already take advantage of the easy schedule to open the gap in the standings!"

"Judging from the performance of Zenit's defense in the last few games, if Ed Wocart does not focus on solving the defense problem, then as the schedule gradually encounters a strong team, I believe Zenit will have to throw more goals. Encountered a greater test!"

"And Zenit also lost his main central defender in the last game against the Kazan Rubies, Norway international Eric Hagen. According to pre-match news, Hagen has a thigh strain and will rest at least four weeks. Although the young Chinese defender Yang Feng, who came off the bench in the last game, performed very well, and even Zenit’s go-ahead goal was assisted by Yang, however, this Ed Wocart’s choice of center back position still needs to be done well. Decide! Can a 19-year-old young man withstand the pressure of this game?"

　　 "According to the news from the Kremlin! The President of the Russian Federation* and Prime Minister Medvedev will all come to watch the game!"

　　 "As we all know, Mr. President has repeatedly declared that he is a fan of CSKA Moscow, and as the Prime Minister of St. Petersburg born in Leningrad, he is naturally a firm supporter of Zenit!"

　　 "The Russian power center will have a ‘crack’ today. This is today’s Russian national derby!"

　　 "Let us look forward to what wonderful performance the two sides will bring us!"
