Chapter 37: Zenit without peaks


As Ed Wo Carter, who has coaching experience in the East, he knows the influence of filial piety on a person in the traditional culture of the East, so he is not in a hurry to get Yang Feng back. After all, the team is still in the standings. A huge advantage, it is very humane to give Yang Feng a two-week holiday!
   What would happen to Zenit without Yang Feng?
   At least the first game, no problem!
   In the eighteenth round of the Russian Premier League, Zenit played at home against visiting Amkar!
   Although the visiting team is not strong, but the defensive training is quite organized, 8 away games this season, only conceded 5 goals!
   even in three away games against Moscow, Sparta, Dynamo, and Lokomotiv, he achieved an impressive record of 1 wins and 2 draws. He is called a giant killer!
   But facing the bursting Zenit, Amkar's defense still has problems!
   "GOAL! In the 23rd minute of the match, Zenit finally broke through Amkar's barrel formation!"
   "A long shot from Tymoshchuk!"
   "Faced with Arshavin, Denisov, and Dominguez who attacked the penalty area in turn, Amkar's defense was too flat!"
   "Tymoshchuk has already taken a long shot before, and the sight has been adjusted!"
   "This ball, facing the defensive gap in the middle, Tymoshchuk seized the opportunity! A cloud-piercing arrow successfully opened the record for Zenit!"
   "Zenit's offensive firepower is really unstoppable in the Russian Super League!"
"No one thought that Zenit, who has so many technical players in the rough style of the Russian Super League, really relied on his unique playing style to show a different offense for many Russian Super League teams. aesthetics!"
"Although Yang Feng has returned to his home country due to personal reasons, he is expected to miss the game for two weeks, but even if today’s central defender combination is Skrtel and the long-lost Hagen, Zenit still has not changed his insistence on attacking. Thoughts!"
  …………
   "GOAL!"
   "Arshavin! Arshavin who is in a hot state recently!"
   "Grasp the open space leaked by the opponent's increasingly loose back line after the attack!"
   "Domingos' pass is really a monster!"
   "Passed the defensive player's wicket!"
   "Passed directly to the feet of Arshavin who just ran into the penalty area!"
   "When Arshavin stopped the ball, he turned around and shot! The goalkeeper was not prepared at all, the ball flew directly into the net!"
"The away team goalkeeper yelled at his centre-back! This ball is definitely an oversight to target Arshavin's player! In the penalty area, he did not step forward to defend, which not only gave Arshavin room to take the ball, and even turned around to shoot when the action was completed. Still not providing enough interference, maybe the mentality of the Amkar players is out of balance!"
   "Zenit has achieved a 2-0 lead! It looks like a victory will be taken by the home team!"
  …………
   "The second half of the game has reached 65 minutes, Zenit's offense still has no intention of diminishing, but the lagging away team, which seems to have some self-defeating meaning!"
"The visiting team players on the field obviously only want the game to end soon. Throughout the second half, he didn't attack very much. There were a few chances to counterattack, and he rushed. He didn't have the patience to cooperate. Who won The ball, just shot from a long distance!"
   "This chance! Pogrebnyak! Score another goal for Zenit!"
   "A side assist from Arshavin!"
   "Boshen overwhelmed his opponent this time and headed the goal directly. This violent aesthetic is the most in line with the Russian aesthetic!"
   "Zenit leads 3-0, which completely ended the suspense of the game!"
   "We can see that Zenit's goalkeeper has become the easiest person. Marafeyev has only completed one save in this game, and it is still a long shot that is basically non-threatening!"
  In the end, Zenit easily defeated his opponent at home again. The score of 3 to 0 showed that Zenit is now at the dominant level of the Russian Super League!
  Because of another venue, Sparta Moscow, it was once again drawn away by opponents! The gap between Zenit and second place has opened up another 2 points, 11 points difference, and 12 rounds of the schedule are left. The league championship belonging to Zenit is getting closer!
   Just as Yang Feng took the flight in advance and returned to St. Petersburg, Zenit once again set off for Moscow to challenge Dynamo Moscow, but this time, Zenit’s away game was not all smooth sailing!
   "The ball is scored! The ball is scored!"
   "A beautiful counterattack opportunity!"
   "Markov played with Eric Hagen, the last barrier of Zenit's defense!"
   "A beautiful fried meatball is amazing! Hagen is clean!"
   "After facing the goalkeeper, Markov calmly pushed the far corner and succeeded!"
   "Dynamo Moscow was at home and gave the 7-game winning streak to the league leader, a blow. 1-0, Zenit was on the away game and fell behind!"
  …………
   "Another one! Another one!"
   "Poor Norway international! Facing the agile Markov, Hagen's slightly cumbersome body can't keep up!"
"During the counterattack, Hagen, who wanted to rely on his body to block his opponent, was able to avoid the interception by Markov, who swiftly picked up the ball in the counterattack. He then blasted the goal with a kick! Dynamo Moscow has already made it. 2-0 lead! Zenit’s 7-game winning streak is finally about to be ended?"
  …………
   "Arshavin! Arshavin! GOAL!"
"When the team was facing adversity, Arshavin once again stood up with a wonderful long shot! After turning around to get out of a certain angle, he immediately kicked the goal! A beautiful banana ball! The arc of the ball was drawn. It was great. The goalkeeper seemed to block the angle, but the ball passed around the goalkeeper’s palm from the far end and spun into the goal! The score was 2-1, and Arshavin’s goal made the second half of the game still full suspense!"
   "With Zenit's recent outstanding performance on the offensive side, it is not difficult to complete the overtake!"
   "Ah! A wonderful first half game, it's not over yet!"
   "It's Markov again! Hat trick! Hat trick! Markov completed the hat trick at halftime!"
   "The members of Zenit have not recovered from the joy of just scoring a goal~EbookFREE.me~ they have suffered a heavy blow again!"
   "After the kick-off, Alexander, the core of Dynamo Moscow midfielder, directly picked a pass!"
   "The ball just hits the middle of Skrtel and Hagen!"
   "Both of them were a little dazed and humbly, and did not come forward to block them immediately. Markov, who quickly plugged in, directly faced the bouncing football, shot with one end, and successfully scored and completed the hat trick!"
   "This ball, the longest-time central defender combination, has no tacit understanding?"
"Sure enough, it is easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality! Perhaps this ball should indeed be defended by the more active player, but Scotter, who has been partnering with Yang Feng, is obviously used to Yang Feng competing This kind of half ball, but this time, Yang Feng is not on the court!"
   "At the last moment of the first half, both sides scored a goal, the score was 3-1. Dynamo Moscow at home played ahead of leader Zenit with 2 goals! Among them, Markov completed a hat-trick at halftime!"
   Changed sides in the second half to fight again. Although Zenit's performance has recovered, it is still an irreversible result of the game!
   Pogrebnyak scored a goal in the 68th minute, relying on a corner kick! Putting the score back to 3 to 2, Zenit was only one goal behind!
   But in the final onslaught, Zenit’s defense was punched through by a counterattack again!
   The home team successfully relied on the counterattack and scored another goal! In the end, Zenit, who won seven consecutive league games, defeated Moscow and swallowed the bitter fruit of defeat!
   The score of 4 to 2 may be just an accident, but the content of this game is still worth thinking about!
  Without Yang Feng's back line, it is still unable to support it. Under the frenzied attack, the defensive openness is exposed!
   Fortunately, Yang Feng is finally coming back!
