Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter 150—Moyes' Brow

It stands to reason that the English team should not rush the ball, after all, they invented the long pass.

However, most of the current English teams are transitioning to the technology flow. There are fewer and fewer teams that adhere to the traditional British style of play, and most of them have poor results. They can only rank in the middle and lower reaches, and even some low-level leagues. team.

Everton's style is still tough, with Lescott and Jaber, two excellent central defenders with headers, their air defense capabilities have always been strong.

But today, the two of them encountered severe challenges!

This time, even the experienced Yabo was defeated. When he and Chen Yingxiong competed for a ball in the air, it was obvious that Chen Yingxiong jumped first, and then he took off. However, he did not expect that the one who fell first turned out to be the one who took off first, not the one who jumped first!

Chen Yingxiong now feels like this-I'm in the air, I can look to the left first, and then to the right, thinking about whom to pass the football to.

After he considered playing these things, he made a heading motion, and his opponents have already fallen...

This is the air trapeze effect bonus.

While Everton’s defenders and Chen Yingxiong were in a decisive battle in the air, Everton’s forwards were also competing with Zenit’s defenders.

This is an atypical game.

The focus of both sides' efforts is on the front and back ends, not the midfield...

Everyone's common perception is that "getting the midfielder to win the world", this game has subverted many people's perception. The midfielder is irrelevant to Zenit, and it is irrelevant to Everton. Anyway, Arteta's leading midfielder will not be too entangled with Zenit here, as long as they have a chance, they will move forward. ball.

However, the effect was not as good as the first half, because Zenit, who was one less man, shrank the defense, compressed the backcourt space, and did not give Arteta a chance to pass the ball behind him.

The speed of Andy Johnson and Yakubu is useless.

So the game showed a situation like this-Everton desperately through the ball, but the success rate was very low, the Zenit backcourt player who broke the ball didn't get too entangled with Everton's players, and went straight. Drive the football forward, wherever Chen Yingxiong is, the football will fly to. Then Chen Yingxiong jumped up and competed with Yabo, Lescott, and Casley for the top. In all likelihood, he will grab the first place...

Moyes' brows were almost wringed out of the court.

He found that neither Lescott, Yabo, or Kasli could shake the advantage of the No. 99 player in the air... He considered it for a moment and decided to give up competing with Chen Yingxiong for the first place. This was futile. , And three people were wasted on him, instead allowing Domingos, Arshavin and others to get more opportunities, and the gains outweighed the losses.

So he went to the sidelines and made adjustments.

He withdrew Casli from the battle group and prevented him from competing with Chen Yingxiong for the header. The 1.81 meter he did not take advantage of it. Although his header skills were very good, his height and bounce were good. The huge gap cannot be made up by a simple header technique. You must know that Chen Yingxiong's header skills are also very good.

Yabo also withdrew and continued to entangle Lescott with Chen Yingxiong.

What are the evacuated people doing? Control the second drop point.

Since the first place can't be grabbed by others at all, then just don't grab it, grab the second place. As long as the second landing point can be controlled, the opponent's center forward is useless no matter how good the header is-it is impossible for him to head directly after the goal is 30 or 40 meters away, right?

Moyes played a role. Controlling the second drop point really makes Chen Yingxiong's characteristic to be useful. After all, if Zenit makes a long pass directly from the backcourt, he can't control the ball by himself and then rush into the opponent's penalty area-he is not good at playing. band.

In this way, Zenit's offense loses its threat. Because after Chen Yingxiong puts the football down, he will be intercepted by Everton players.

The success rate of the offense was suddenly reduced.

When planning to top the football to Arshavin, the opponent guessed the intention, stole the ball midway and hit a high-quality counterattack, almost scoring a goal.

Chen Yingxiong felt the crisis.

In the past, he always thought that his current header is so strong, and he still has a long-range shot, and he should be able to run wild for a while.

He didn't think that he was in trouble before the UEFA Cup group stage was finished. Although he has a header, his technical characteristics are still too single... When the opponent limited his superiority in the air, he lacked other weapons.

I have to continue to grow stronger, have more weapons, be more comprehensive, and be more powerful!

However, this sense of crisis did not make him feel frustrated, but...full of fighting spirit!

It's just the UEFA Cup group stage, just an Everton is so good, what will happen to the knockout stage? How about playing the UEFA Champions League in the future? Wouldn't it be better to have a strong hand like a forest? !

Chen Yingxiong doesn't want to stay in St. Petersburg any more...

His journey is the sea of ​​stars, how can he be trapped in a remote and bitter place like Russia?

But now, he is wearing the jersey of Zenit St. Petersburg, he has to contribute all his strength to this team.

Chen Yingxiong decided not to be an offensive transit station anymore. He gave the football to his teammates, but eventually fell under the feet of his opponents, which would make Zenit very passive.

He decided to use his feet.

Although his header is strong, his feet are not useless.

When his teammate passed the football over again, he jumped up, but instead of heading the ball, he unloaded the football with his chest!

After using his body to protect the football, he passed the football to his teammates.

It’s a lot more stable than just using your head, and it’s not easy for the opponent to guess his intentions-to whom he will pass the header back to basically everyone knows-the passing of the header is very difficult, so he The football will definitely be given to teammates who are easier to pass, and teammates with better positions will naturally become the focus of the opponent's attention.

Passing under feet is different, and there are more possibilities with feet.

When he pretended to pass the ball to Domingos, but passed it to Hill, Everton's defense was disrupted...

Moyes wrung his brows again off the court. He hadn't stretched his brows for long, so he wrung them again. It is estimated that after the game today, the muscles on his eyes and forehead are going to cramp.

This hero Chen is more difficult to deal with than he thought...

When Chen Yingxiong was able to pass the football to his teammates with his header and his feet, Everton's defense began to waver, and they didn't know how to defend. Zenit's frontcourt attack is very small, but because there is a hero of Chen, so just a few people can also make waves in the Everton half!

Chen Yingxiong turned around and passed the football to Arshavin, and then ran forward. Arshavin was passing the football to him. The two made a two-over one, and then he passed the football to Domingos, who was inserted later.

The Argentine midfielder suddenly came with a long shot, the football wiped the goalpost and rolled out of the baseline, shocking the sky over Goodison Park.

Everton pressed on, Zenit was determined to fight defensively, and it seemed that Zenit had more opportunities...

"Domingos' long shot almost flew into the goal! It's really dangerous! Can you tell now that Zenit is one less person than Everton? At least I have completely ignored this fact. From the scene, the two sides are evenly matched, and even... Zenit is even more threatening!"

"Chen Yingxiong's role for Zenit is reflected here. With him, there is a fulcrum for the frontcourt attack. Even if it is a big kick, someone can take the ball, so that other talents can confidently come up and attack. The quality of the offense has naturally improved. Now it seems that Moyes ignored Chen Hero before the game. It is indeed a big problem, and it may even be... fatal!"

Chen Yingxiong, who can cooperate with his teammates up and down, makes Everton difficult to defend.

So he quickly broke through Lescott's defense-he passed the football to his teammates, and then ran to the empty space. At this time, his teammates looked at the timing and passed the football over, so he didn't need to take the ball to dribble and break. Well, that's not something he is good at.

But this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying is when Chen Yingxiong presses to the front of the opponent's penalty area... Zenit's offense has a bridgehead that can directly threaten Everton's goal.

He controls the ball with his back to the offensive direction. Although he can't turn around or break through, he can protect the football and pass it to his teammates-like a fort...

At the 70th minute, this kind of tactical coordination came out.

Arshavin took the ball from the wing and cut in. Chen Yingxiong pulled out from the penalty area to seek cooperation with him. Previously, this work was done by Krzakov, and he himself waited for the header in the penalty area. Now that Krzakov is off, naturally he is the only one here, otherwise he will continue to stay in the penalty area, and Arshavin will be brought to a dead end with it...

Arshavin saw him come out to meet him, passed the football, and he continued to run sideways.

Chen Yingxiong grabbed his arms, stopped Lescott with his body, and then passed the football sideways to Arshavin who had already circled his other side.

After passing the ball, Chen Yingxiong did not stay in place, but turned around and rushed into the penalty area!

As if he wanted to play two-by-one with Arshavin, Lescott followed him back—it was empty!

Arshavin did not hesitate and volleyed directly on the foot!

The football was clinging to the turf, rushing forward quickly, rushing to the far corner of the goal!

Tim Howard made a save, but the kick was sudden, and the running of Chen Yingxiong attracted Howard’s attention-he always thought that Arshavin would pass the football back to Chen Yingxiong and play He shot again after a two-to-one.

So when he rushed over, it was obviously too late...

The football rolled into the goal against the turf, was rolled up by the net, and rolled out again... But this can no longer change the fact that the football scored!

"Goal scored! Beautiful! Arshavin's long shot!!" Yuri Petrov cheered again.

"They led Everton away! In this life-and-death match, they finally saw the dawn of victory!!"

Arshavin, who scored a goal, rushed directly to Chen Yingxiong and embraced the hero who made the ball for him. But it looks like Chen Yingxiong directly hugged Arshavin, who was thin...

The fans of Zenit St. Petersburg in the stands gave out huge cheers.

This time, they briefly became the masters of this stadium!
