Football’s First Defender

　　 After the game, Feng Yang invited the whole team to a famous Chinese restaurant in St. Petersburg, as a reward for so many teammates who cooperated with him to score goals!

During the 　　 period, Yang Feng also rarely drank an exception!

　　 may be because of celebrating the victory with teammates, or it may be because of the depression of my two weeks!

　　Result...

　　 On the wine table, Yang Feng, whose body's alcohol-decomposing enzymes is beyond ordinary, drank all his teammates who said he could drink them!

　　 Don’t look at Scotter’s height, he will start to drink crazy after a few cups!

　　 Forgive him. After all, his innate talent is not enough. I don’t want to be like Russian teammates. I have acquired them...

　　 I also reported to the coaching staff before this party, after all, there is a European war mission after all!

　　 However, although there is a UEFA Cup qualifying game to be played, the coaching staff agreed to this gathering. First, the strength of the opponents in the European war is not strong, and they may not be able to beat these opponents in the Russian Super League. Second, because of the game time, five days later!

　　 Since the first day after the league, it is the day when the team has a holiday!

　　 Even if it is a qualifying match, the Europa League match day is still the same as the main match time. The qualifying match is later than the Champions League. For Zenit, it is not so much a double match a week, as it is, 3 days 2 matches!

After playing the away game in Europe and taking a day off, I will have to challenge Tomsk on the home scene again. Fortunately, it is a team in the lower league. In addition, the league’s points gap has opened to double figures. Therefore, Zenit’s internal goals have focused on the European war. Unless one of the European giants is drawn, at least entering the top 8 is the goal set by the management and coaching staff!

　　 Of course, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to step by step!

　　 has passed the second round of the qualifier first, it is a top priority!

　　 After a whole day of refurbishment, the whole team showed up on the training ground in full energy. Zenit will train at his own recovery for 2 days, and go to the away field to adapt to the venue one day in advance!

　　Because last season was only 5th in the Russian Premier League, Zenit won the European Championship, but he has to start from the second qualifying round of the Europa League!

　　 This time the opponent is Moras from the Slovak Super League!

　　 In the first round of the qualifying round, Moras defeated the Kazakhstan team 4-2 in two rounds, successfully advanced and qualified to challenge Zenit!

　　Molas is actually a newly promoted team in the Slovak Premier League this season. In the Slovakian competition at the beginning of the new season, the record achieved is only lower in the middle!

　　 As for the qualification for the European war in the second-level league, Moras was upset in the domestic cup last season to enter the finals. After the rules were determined, it was postponed to him. So the real strength is actually very limited!

　　 According to the report written by the scouts sent by the team two weeks ago, as well as some of the club's logistics staff, watch the video!

　　Although Moras' style tends to be delicate and technical, but because of the limited strength of the players, coupled with the majority of young players, the approximate standard of strength, I am afraid that even the Russian League team can't match it!

　　The only advantage may be that they are on their home court!

　　In the world of professional football, money can not solve the problem!

　　 Although Slovakia also belongs to the ranks of developed countries, the domestic football league level is actually not high. There are some outstanding players throughout Europe, but it has always belonged to the lower midstream!

　　 The level of domestic youth training has not been very impressive due to population restrictions!

The occasional youth training seedlings will naturally choose to enter other countries, a better youth training system, and its domestic leagues are more like a platform for self-entertainment, so that more young people from the country can play in the competition. Adapt to the environment of professional football early, and then use it as a pedal to enter other higher-level football leagues, even the second-tier leagues, to continuously improve your strength!

　　Skoltel, for example, is a Slovak! Born in 1984, Skrtel unexpectedly represented Trenčín in the Slovak Premier League team in 2002. In the 03-04 season, he played 34 times on behalf of Trenčín. As the main central defender, Trenčín played in the season. The ranking is fifth in the Slovak Premier League!

　　 is also a 19-year-old child. As the main player, Yang Feng was controversial at the beginning. It was purely on the performance of the game and his special talents that he stood firm in the Russian Super League!

　　 But Scotter, just played in the main position for a season!

　　 Then he joined Zenit in 2004 and became a veteran of Zenit, although he is only 23 years old this year!

　　 But just think about the irritability of Skrtel today, and guess the defense line guarded by the 19-year-old Skrtel. Such a team can rank fifth in the top competition in Slovakia!

　　 Well, what kind of league strength can be seen at a glance!

　　 You know, Scotter also guarded the drinking fountain for a year before he successfully played in Zenit!

The whole Zenit team flew to Slovakia with such a relaxed mood. After all, as the team most likely to win the Russian Premier League this season, Zenit's strength is definitely at the level of the Champions League. Now it is coming to play in the Europa League. The qualifying round of the Cup is definitely bullying!

　　 At Moravce's home court, Moravce Stadium! Zenit ushered in his first European game this season!

　　 As the regular main force of the team, Yang Feng is naturally in the starting lineup!

　　 said that the opponent is weak and vulnerable to a blow! But Ed Wocart didn't dare, and he really just arranged and arranged training tactics at will! The Russian Premier League championship is not the end of this Zenit~www.NovelMTL.com~ Zenit is fully capable and proves his strength in the Europa League!

　　 As for the Champions League next season, Ed Wocart looks at his disciples...

　　 "Who knows, will they be in the team next season?"

Whether it is Arshavin, Timoshchuk, Pogrebnyak, Skrtel, and even the professional rookie Yang Feng, who has just played in the Russian Super League for half a season, they have all been scouts from the top five leagues. extensive attention!

　　 The overall strength and attention of the Russian Super League are far from the five major leagues.

　　 Even with the support of Gazprom’s strong financial resources, the attractiveness of higher-level football leagues may be even greater for every motivated player!

　　 And the player's income is only salary? Greater attention to the game, higher exposure, the fan effect triggered, and advertising revenue are also important means for football players to obtain benefits!

This is also after the Bosman Act, the giants of the five major leagues, and their respective leagues, complement each other, and continue to attract more capital investment throughout the world, attract more fans, gain greater attention, and other countries’ leagues. The gap is widened, and even other leagues, even if they have big capital injections, have no chance to enter the game and share the cake!

　　 In addition to the five major leagues, other national leagues are more like a practice field and a talent reserve pool. There is no longer the possibility of small country league teams before the 90s, relying on a generation of golden players to dominate Europe!

"In the Russian Premier League, Zenit is calling for rain. This game will come to the away game. It will play the first game of two rounds with Slovakian team Moras. I don’t know if Zenit will win this game. His attack power is shown to all of Europe!"
