Chapter 79: Promotion

According to Zenit's original plan, after the game, the team disbanded on the spot for a holiday, and the Zenit players' holiday finally came! The players of other Russian Super League teams have been on holiday for almost a month...
As for the team assembly time, it will be determined by whether they can enter the Europa League knockout!
Entering the knockout rounds, it is necessary to assemble in advance. The players must not only recover quickly and cope with the subsequent knockouts, but also pull physical fitness for the new season. After all, the Russian Super League, the new season minutes will reignite in March!
Many players choose to transfer directly from the UK after the game, or take the time to go on holiday, or fly back to their hometown!
Ed Volkart originally planned to fly back to the Netherlands for vacation, but after the game, he was full of thoughts and cancelled the originally scheduled ticket, and flew back to St. Petersburg with a group of Russian internationals!
He is going to find the team management, asking for money and people!
After experiencing this round of the Europa League group stage, it turns out that his main lineup is indeed at the European first-line level, but there are not enough changes on the bench. It is easy to face opponents of the same level and a set of lineups. Being targeted, when the game is facing a deadlock, there are simply not enough back players to break the game!
Of course, although Gazprom has money, it will not fill the team like an invincible hole! After all, the salary of existing players is definitely the first echelon level in the entire Russian Super League!
"If you can enter the Europa League knockout rounds, in order to achieve better results in the European war, you will buy strong players in the winter window! Strengthen the team!"
"If you can't make it to the knockout rounds, then postpone the signings until the summer to reserve talents for the Champions League next season!"
"After all, most teams that sell people in winter are going to slaughter people. In summer, the price is fair. The young people are not deceived!"
"Zenit, who won the Russian Premier League championship, the next team goal is the European stadium, to achieve good results in the Europa League this season, or to make a breakthrough for the Russian team in the Champions League next season!"
After some conversation, Ed Wocart can only wait for the results two weeks later in disappointment. This kind of feeling of handing over his own destiny to other teams is really bad!
While the Zenit team is enjoying the annual leave, Yang Feng can finally carry out some recovery training!
Injuries are the biggest enemy of professional players. Yang Feng's previous knowledge of injuries was only exposed through TV and the Internet. This time it happened to him!
To be honest, the experience of wearing protective gear and walking on crutches is really uncomfortable! Although it was only two months, Yang Feng felt that his life had been greatly affected. During the recuperation period, Yang Feng also got permission from the coaching staff, just like taking annual leave in advance, and went back to China to rest for a while! It stands to reason that this kind of ankle injury requires training in other parts of the club. However, Yang Feng's self-discipline made the coaches not worry, he will become fat into the ball in two months! A part of Yang Feng’s upper body strength training plan was formulated, and Yang Feng had a holiday early!
However, the early holiday means that after the body has recovered, one has to practice alone!
Fortunately, in St. Petersburg, some youth team players, as well as some local coaches, will also conduct additional training and individual coaching during the holidays, so that Yang Feng will not be alone in training on the football field!
Because of the club's regulations, after resuming training, Yang Feng has to go to Zenit's team psychiatrist every few days to enlighten him and relieve the psychological problems caused by the injury!
Although Yang Feng thinks he has no psychological problems, isn't he just injured? As far as Yang Feng is concerned, although he has never experienced any injuries, he is familiar with this kind of thing.
However, due to Zenit's internal regulations, we still have to talk enough times to convince the psychiatrist that he has overcome the effects of injury!
After all, with the development of modern football, the gap between top professional athletes may be the slightest. For more and more sophisticated competitive movements, the impact of injuries is not only the lack of physical function, but also the psychological Fear on the issue!
Sometimes, although the medical condition will completely cure the player's body objectively! However, when a player is doing an action, he will unconsciously think of the location of his injury, which affects the degree of completion of the action, and it is impossible to return to the state before the injury!
On the football field, there are many such talented players, because of injuries, they can never return to their original state! Some of these are caused by major injuries that cause irreversible damage to the body, and some of them may not be due to psychological problems that affect their performance!
Fortunately, after several conversations, Yang Feng was approved by the doctor in his heart. After all, it was only an ankle ligament injury. It was not the kind of trauma that made people feel broken. For the psychologist, it was just a routine!
In this way, Yang Feng, during the first team vacation, adjusted his state according to the recovery training plan made by the coaching staff before the vacation, and continued to train the upper limbs during the injury stage, and then began to exercise to strengthen the lower limbs!
While Yang Feng was doing boring training alone, the other Zenit players were on vacation happily, but there was still a string in their hearts, unable to completely let go of themselves!
With the passage of time, the Zenit people, who can only serve as spectators, finally ushered in the day when it was a matter of their own future, but was completely in the hands of others! The final round of the Europa League!
Ed Wocart, who is as far away as the Netherlands, turned on the TV early, ready to watch the game between Alkmaar and Everton!
"Moyes really did just that!"
"Damn Scotsman!"
"Fortunately, Van Gaal has suffered a lot in the league this season, and his performance has dropped so much, he has no energy to deal with the Europa League schedule!"
In the away game, Everton, who had already locked up the group's number one in advance, not only stayed in his hometown, but also didn't bring any substitutes!
A bunch of players from the reserve team and the youth team came over and walked through the field!
But Van Gaal did not "take advantage of the danger"! In other words, Van Gaal does not want his team to be dragged by the quagmire of the Europa League again!
After all, Van Gaal's capital is not as good as Ed Wocart, Alkmaar's league performance this season has plunged significantly, two-line combat is definitely the biggest influence!
In this game, Van Gaal also didn't plan to fight for victory!
It is also a mixed lineup of the youth team and the substitute players, and the two coaches just walked through the final game of the Europa League!
Maybe Moyes has a higher winning percentage. After all, Everton just wants to take a break before the Christmas schedule, and Alkmaar really doesn't want to play in the Europa League anymore!
However, this kind of game, where most of them are young players, is the most difficult to control. If you get angry or state, the head coach's arrangement before the game may be forgotten!
If Alkmaar is going crazy at home, then whether he can understand Van Gaal's deep meaning, or simply regard Van Gaal's words as air, is not known!
At the beginning, when the young people on both sides fought against each other, Ed Wocart was still worried!
However, it is obvious that Everton's players have the advantage. After all, in this young man's confrontation, the side with the physical advantage naturally has the capital of victory!
Although the geniuses produced by the Dutch League are sold throughout Europe, there are few native geniuses in England out of the British Isles!
But genius is not mass-produced, and football is not a one-person game!
Although the mass-produced players of England youth training rarely have talented achievements, the overall level is definitely not bad! In addition, people are tall and magnificent, and you really do whatever you want with your body!
Alkmaar had fallen behind by two goals early on his home court. Although near the end of halftime, a young player's long shot brought the score back to 1 to 2, but Ed Wocart was relieved and Van Gaal gave up strategically. The intention is obvious!
When the score was behind in the second half, Van Gaal even replaced the striker with a midfielder, and then lost the third goal early!
In the final score of 2 to 3, Alkmaar "successfully" lost the game at his home court. In the simultaneous game on another field, Larissa finished 4 consecutive defeats and Nuremberg advanced to the knockout round as second in the group!
However, Zenit still advanced through the thrills with Van Gaal's assist! The dignified Russian Premier League champion still retains the qualification to continue to show his strength in the European arena!
After the Everton game, Ed Wocart immediately called the players to inform the training time. After all, in February of the new year, before the start of the Russian Premier League, the knockout of the Europa League will be played, so the physical reserve training for the new season , Of course, also in advance!
Although Zenit’s players are happy to be able to show themselves in the European game in the new season~EbookFREE.me~, looking at the three-week holiday, they are still a little bit crying!
Of course the coaching staff and the management are actually worse!
Spend a Christmas at home, New Year or something, let’s go back to St. Petersburg!
The winter window of the European League will be opened in January. Not only does Ed Wocart have to buy his favorite players in a short period of time, the team's tactics also need to be changed to a certain extent, which requires the coaching staff and management. Floor, work overtime at the beginning of the new year to complete...
With Zenit confirming his promotion to the knockout rounds, Yang Feng also began recovery training in St. Petersburg. Ed Wocart's confidence is even stronger!
"Buy people, buy people! I want to buy people in the winter window! Not only for the defense of the Russian Super League next season, I will also fight for the European Championship!"
"How do the Chinese say that. "If you don't die, there must be a blessing." Since we can advance, we won't be able to go to the final to win the championship!"
Zenit's goal is not just to go to the European stadium to mix some bonuses...
