Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter 217 Excellent Condition... Goalkeeper (4900 monthly pass plus more)

From the beginning of the game, the Zenit team launched a fierce offensive towards the goal of the Glasgow Rangers. They kept in mind the requirements of Ed Wocart.

As far as the players themselves are concerned, even if there is no head coach’s arrangement, they will do this-who doesn’t want to end the game 30 minutes before the start of the game, kill all the suspense, and reduce the remaining 60 minutes to Garbage time?

Of course, whether or not that can be done is another matter, but as Chen Yingxiong thinks-first you have to dare to think!

In the fourth minute, Zenit created a threatening attack opportunity.

Domingos passed the football to Chen Yingxiong in the counterattack. Chen Yingxiong did not greedy merits, but directly stuffed the football into the air. Teammate Arshavin understood that he had been in the air long ago and received the football and brought it into the penalty area. Then rushed to shoot when the guard defending him came up.

The football finally hit the side net, which shocked the Rangers fans in the stands and made Zenit fans happy for a while.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh! What a pity...side nets! Arshavin's shot missed the target and went slightly wide! He shocked the Rangers fans into a cold sweat! From the beginning of the game, Zenit launched Fast offensive! They seem to want to establish the lead early in this final and put the next game on their track! For this reason, they have no temptation at all, so they attacked the Glasgow Rangers. Looking at it this way...maybe Can we expect that this game will not be dull anymore?"

Arshavin, who did not score a goal, also looked very upset. He covered his face with both hands and ran back, obviously ashamed that he would miss the ball.

Zenit's fans were ignited by Arshavin's shot. They sang and yelled in the stands to cheer for the team.

※※※

The offensive of Zenit St. Petersburg is really fierce.

Just a minute after Arshavin's shot missed, Chen Yingxiong made another cold shot from the penalty zone line, but the football was thrown out by goalkeeper Alexander.

"Ah-Hero Chen! Alexander's save is very important!"

In the twelfth minute, Zenit won a direct free kick, and the free kick taken by Hill was directly taken by Alexander.

The Glasgow Rangers fans cheered from the stands.

Ed Wocart frowned off the court.

The Rangers' tactics were no different from what he thought. They were indeed locked from the beginning and used defense to stop Zenit from scoring.

It's fine, but he found a bad sign from these attacks, that is, Glasgow Rangers goalkeeper Neil Alexander seems to be out of form...

It can be seen from his two saves that he looked very excited and active.

This is a typical feature of an excellent goalkeeper. Of course, the position of the goalkeeper needs to be stable, but that is the basis. On the basis of stability, you must get excited and get into the game quickly. Forwards and other things can be slow, if the goalkeeper is slow, it will be a dead end. The club may concede a goal within a few minutes of the game, putting his team in an extremely difficult situation.

In fact, the goalkeeper is a bit sm inclined to talk about-always need to be bombarded in order to stay in shape, if the first eighty-nine minutes of the game is idle and very leisurely, maybe the opponent will score a counterattack in the ninetieth minute. .

Now Ed Volcart sees Alexander's behavior, and there are signs that his state is showing up... He is worried about this situation-Zenit will be stopped by a goalkeeper.

This is not impossible, a goalkeeper has played well, enough to top a team.

Listen to the cheers of the Glasgow people in the stands. When the game just started, they were basically dead and silent. But now it's like a fish thrown into the water, alive.

Their momentum gradually increases, which will increase the confidence of the Glasgow Rangers defensively. Once the confidence and morale of the whole team are raised, Zenit will be difficult to play in this game. Ed Wocart intends to play a blitz in this game. He doesn't want to be dragged into the quagmire by the Glasgow Rangers. In that case, it is absolutely not good for his team.

In order to avoid ramifications, it is best to score early.

※※※

Ed Wocart should take a good calculation of his fortune today. Because things backfired. The game lasted for almost thirty minutes, and Zenit had not yet been able to blast off Alexander's fingers. Thirty minutes into the first half, everyone saw Zenit's team slamming around Alexander's goal, but either the shot was missed or he was blocked by the goalkeeper Alexander.

During this period of time, the most mentioned names in the commentators' mouths, and the most vocalized name was not Chen Yingxiong who was highly expected before the game, nor was it Arshavin. But...

"Neil Alexander——!!! Beautiful! Beautiful! He blocked Chen Yingxiong's long shot!!!"

In the 30th minute, Chen Yingxiong got a long shot opportunity. At that time, he was 28 meters from the goal, slightly to the right, and he took a long shot with his right foot.

The football flew to the far end of the goal like a cannonball. Many Zenit fans were ready to stand up and shout "Ula", but they saw Alexander flying forward and blocking the football with his arms.

Since Chen Yingxiong's shooting power is very strong, even though Alexander only blocked it with his arms, the football still bounced out of the sideline under the strong reaction force, instead of falling to the goal. Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong's heavy artillery helped Alexander instead.

When he got up from the ground, he rubbed his two arms, and he could see how "heavy" Chen Yingxiong's foot was just now!

But no matter how heavy, without scoring a goal, Chen Yingxiong was not happy.

Thirty minutes have passed, and he has not yet been able to break the deadlock and score a goal.

He has been very active in these thirty minutes, trying very hard to find opportunities to score goals. The helplessness was either that his chance was not good or the chance was good, but he ran into a goalkeeper who was obviously beaten out.

Damn it!

He kicked the air a little uncomfortably, as if it were a football, and wanted to kick it into the goal.

※※※

How to explain Zenit's advantage in the first half?

In the thirty-seventh minute, the Glasgow Rangers scored their first shot... Perhaps this can explain how embarrassed the Glasgow Rangers were in the first half.

But even so embarrassed, they completed the task given to them by the coach in the entire first half-without losing the ball!

They are qualified enough to walk off the court with a proud application and return to the locker room. Fans of the Glasgow Rangers in the stands were also cheering loudly and cheering for the players.

"Good job! Rangers! That's it! In the second half let's pull them-off-horse!"

Compared with the more satisfied Glasgow players and fans, the players of Zenit St. Petersburg frowned when they left the field. The fans' momentum is also much smaller. At the beginning of the first half, they were full of confidence in the victory of the game. In terms of the strength and state of the team, it is not a problem to win the Rangers.

How can I think of...

They squandered forty-five minutes, but got nothing.

※※※

The TV broadcast gave a close-up shot of Chen Yingxiong, who bowed his head and walked off the court. He followed him for ten seconds until he walked off the court.

The English commentator was talking about his performance in the first half: "Although Chen Yingxiong got a lot of shots in the first half, he worked very hard, but he was always close to goal."

I don't know if it was an illusion. Sun Jihai always felt that the English commentator had a "sigh of relief" in his tone.

Are they afraid that Alan Shearer's record will be broken?

Before the game, the media were hyping up this matter, and the English media's position was very clear-they did not want Chen Yingxiong to score in the final. Serious newspapers will also find some reasons to explain why Chen Yingxiong's probability of scoring in the final is very low. Those tabloids simply asked the Glasgow Rangers not to let Chen Yingxiong score a goal.

Because this record was originally created by the legendary Alan Shearer in English football, now Chen Yingxiong has shared it with Alan Shearer. If he is allowed to surpass the legend and monopolize the new record. Why do you make England, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, so friendly?

The record set by the legendary shooter was broken by a player from an inexperienced football country. It's really... to be more serious, it is the shame of English football!

Sun Jihai doesn't like the English style. He hopes that Chen Yingxiong will score a goal and write the Chinese name forever in the history of the UEFA Cup.

But he can't do this. In the first half, Chen Yingxiong lacked luck, many shots were missed, and the opponent's goalkeeper was too tough. He worries that this will affect Chen Yingxiong's mentality. If he becomes impatient in the first half of the game, goals will only get farther and farther away from him.

This person has a hot temper and is more likely to lose his mindset. Don't worry...

※※※

Sun Jihai is worried about Chen Yingxiong, and Ed Wocart is also worried about Chen Yingxiong. Both people worry about one thing-that is, Chen Yingxiong will be out of balance.

In fact, when Chen Yingxiong returned to the locker room, he was really hot.

He was in such a good state of the game, but he ran into a goalkeeper who was in a better state than him!

This goalkeeper has never heard of it before. If he is a goalkeeper of Kahn's level, he can accept it somewhat. Now I was actually blocked by an unknown **** from the goal, but it was... **** hell!

He returned to the locker room and slammed a punch into the cabinet. All his teammates looked at him worriedly.

Arshavin stepped up to enlighten him, "Relax, hero!"

Hero Chen nodded, took a deep breath, and then said, "I'm fine, Shava!"

"Is it all right?"

"It's okay. Would you like to see my performance in the second half of the game?"

Seeing him say this, Arshavin can't say anything anymore. He can't ask Chen Yingxiong to say that he still has something to do, right?

After Ed Wocart came in, he saw that Hero Chen was chatting with Arshavin, and he was a little relieved. If you can chat, that means it's normal.

In the second half, Chen Yingxiong was the main player in scoring, but there should be no problems...
