Football’s First Defender

Yang Feng has finally entered the squad. Yang Feng, who has only been training with the first team for 2 weeks, has finally won the approval of the head coach and has been admitted to the squad after completing several joint training sessions with the team and performing fairly well. Chance!

Advocaat considered that this round of the match was against Soviet Wings at home, and the team was not too strong last season, so he thought he would have the opportunity to let Yang Feng play in the second half, to exercise and get acquainted with the real team. The pace of the first team, let's see if Yang Feng can tap his potential in a short time!

As a result, the ideal is very happy, but the reality is very skinny!

The Soviet Wings, who were in a defensive posture, not only successfully defended until the end of the halftime, but even at the beginning of the second half, they also took advantage of Zenit's mistakes and successfully fought a counterattack, taking a 1-0 lead in the away game!

Although Zenit scored a goal through continuous onslaught afterwards, the 1-1 score was still maintained by the Soviet Wings to the audience!

Zenit's plan for 3 consecutive victories has been completely ruined!

Yang Feng sat on the bench for 90 minutes without even getting a chance to warm up. The team's final substitutions were all aimed at the midfield. For the needs of offensive tactics and to ensure the physical strength of the offensive players in the frontcourt, Yang Feng, who is a central defender, was naturally out of consideration!

If you can't get a kick in the game, you will naturally work hard to train! In training, Yang Feng performed better and better at the position of central defender. Although as a substitute central defender, Yang Feng still struggled physically when defending the team's main forward, Pogrebnyak. of!

However, Yang Feng used his own consciousness and the ability to judge the landing point, exchanged time for space, ran in advance, judged in advance, avoided frequent physical confrontation, and relied on running and physical flexibility to contain Pogreb Niak, also achieved some good results!

But when there is no way to hide, you are really crushed o(╥﹏╥)o Sometimes it is obvious that Yang Feng has already occupied the position, but when Pogrebnyak's huge body hits, Yang Feng sometimes It's not enough to lose the position, but the movement deformation is still inevitable, and there have been various header mistakes! Boshen taught Yang Feng a good lesson!

However, Mr. Advocaat still wants to see in the professional arena whether Yang Feng, who has improved his physical confrontation ability, can rely on his excellent consciousness to help the team's defense!

In fact, occasionally in the main team, Yang Feng, who is partnered with Skrtel or Hagen, can use his excellent awareness to make up for the vacancy of Skrtel or Hagen, especially when defending the opponent's counterattack. Yang Feng either solves the opponent's counterattack by himself, or occupies the last position to fill the space left by his partner's counterattack. His performance is very good, which makes Yang Feng qualified to enter the bench!

In the ninth round of the Russian Super League, Zenit challenged the Cuban club in an away game. Yang Feng also went away with the team for the first time. Although he still did not step into the starting lineup, everyone with a discerning eye knows that he has become more and more in training and integrated into the team. Faster and faster, Yang Feng, who has outstanding consciousness, has gradually entered the rotation system of the back line. The only difference is an opportunity!

It's a pity that Cuban didn't intend to give Zenit a chance to test Yang Feng!

As a season-long team whose goal is always relegation, Cuban only needs to surpass the bottom team in the process of the competition. In this kind of relegation battle throughout the season, the value of any point is extremely important. of!

Facts have proved that facing that kind of team that just wants to defend 0-0, although Zenit can switch to the offensive madman mode, the loopholes in the defense are still a big problem that cannot be solved!

The relegation team Cuban successfully completed the pre-match goal and scored 1 point at home. The 1-1 score was maintained until the end. Advocaat was very dissatisfied with the performance of his defense line conceding the ball first in 2 consecutive games!

And Yang Feng, of course, was on the bench again, enjoying the benefits of watching the game live for 90 minutes!

Or let Yang Feng start the next game, this damn defense!

Of course, angry words cannot be taken seriously. Advocaat will not rest assured of a rookie who has never played a professional game, and if he supports this rookie in such a rough way, he will definitely turn against a member of his own team. The main central defender.

If the newcomer succeeds in the end, then it will be fine to turn against the old players. But just like Pavon back then, who knows whether Yang Feng, who performed well in the youth team, will lose himself in the professional arena. The safest solution!

Of course, Advocaat did not expect to face the middle and lower reaches of the team for two consecutive games, but he fell behind in the game. Otherwise, in Advocaat's own prediction, Yang Feng should be able to get at least 30 minutes of training in these two games. Grade time!

In the tenth round of the league, Zenit played against the penultimate Rubin Kazan at home. Rubin Kazan lost all five away games this season!

Yang Feng is still sitting on the bench for 3 consecutive games. Off the court, Yang Feng really hopes that his teammates will give a little bit of effort. Zenit, who adopted the same defensive tactics as the Russian Super League, suddenly turned back to the offensive mode against the underdogs in these few scenes, and still can't find the state!

GOAL!!!

The goal is scored!

Ruby Kazan's No. 11 Bauharov! When Zenit was once again stuck in a long-term situation, Bauharov took advantage of the corner kick and made a beautiful dive from the back to head the ball in. goal!

Zenit's goalkeeper Malafeyev has nothing to do with this ball! He can only watch the football hit the net!

Now! Once again Zenit are behind in the match in the match!

The stormy offensive style advocated by Mr. Advocaat will always receive an extremely simple and rude reply from the Russian Super League team!

Advocaat on the sidelines was so angry that he threw all the water bottles in his hand, and even splashed some water on his coat, his hands were shaking with anger!

Damn it! Falling behind again!

Attack! Attack! It's only the first half! I must win today!

Advocaat almost growled and shouted to the players on the field to let them continue to attack! If you fail to win against weaker teams in three consecutive games, I believe you will be questioned again from all sides after the game!

However, there is a saying that the leak in the house happens to rain all night!

At the end of the first half, Zenit was in trouble again!

Eric Hagen fell to the ground in pain after a defensive chase, covering his thigh with his hand!

After receiving the signal from the referee, Zenit's team doctor immediately went to the field to do an examination. The preliminary examination result should be a muscle strain on the back of the thigh. This game is definitely not going to last. The team doctor gestured to the head coach for a substitution, and supported Hagen to get ready to leave the field!

Oh, shit!

Edvocaat didn't expect that when the team fell behind, he would waste one of his substitutions due to injuries. The key is who to replace?

Is it the team's long-time backup central defender Krizanac, or Yang Feng who originally planned to go up to level up when the team took the lead?

Yang Feng! Change your jersey!

The situation on the field does not allow Advocaat to entangle too much time. There are nearly 10 minutes before the end of the half-time game. Zenit's weak defense line, if there is one less central defender, the picture is too beautiful, Edvocaat Some unimaginable!

Although intellectually, Krizanac should be the most suitable substitute. After all, compared with Yang Feng, he has at least a wealth of professional game experience, and he has also played for the team for 3 seasons. There is no credit but also hard work. !

but……

I hope Yang Feng can grow into what I expected. If it turns out that you are 'Pavin' in the end, then I will definitely not give you the opportunity to continue squandering on the court for the sake of face!

In this way, Yang Feng's first-team debut opportunity finally came before halftime of the tenth round of the Russian Super League due to Eric Hagen's accidental injury!

Zenit, who fell behind at home, suffered injuries before halftime. The main central defender, Norwegian international Erik Hagen, who has maintained full attendance this season, is off due to injury!

Now let's see their substitutions!

Number 36? Yang!

I didn't expect Mr. Advocaat to be so bold. When the team was behind, the main central defender was injured, and there was regular substitute central defender Krishanac on the substitute list, he boldly chose to use the 19-year-old, who had just been transferred from the youth team. Yang! Feng! A talented defender from China!

In this season's Russian Youth League, in the opening stage of the 5 games with Yang Feng as the starter, the Zenit youth team won all clean sheets, and as a central defender, Yang scored 7 goals! He also completed a header hat-trick! But! Can Yang bring the outstanding form of the youth team to the Russian Super League? Let us wait and see!

Yang Feng, who didn't even do warm-up exercises, just ushered in his first show in the Russian Super League. It's a bit like rushing ducks to the shelves, and the times make heroes!

Fortunately, Zenit has been on the field and has maintained an offensive suppressive force, allowing Yang Feng to perform some simple warm-up actions in the backcourt and his own position to warm up his body. Get over it!

After taking the lead, Rubin Kazan immediately retreated to the half-court defense. Even the forward who harassed Zenit in the half-court before the goal also went back to increase the number of defenses.

Zenit once again needs to test its ability to break the iron barrel, and if it wants to win, it needs to break at least twice!

The players of the visiting team used their crazy running to make up for their lack of strength, completely destroying Zenit's offense, and did not even give Zenit a threatening chance to shoot!

However, running so sparingly, the players' physical fitness will be exhausted sooner or later. It depends on whether Zenit can seize the opportunity in the second half!

The halftime game is over, the score is still 0 to 1, Zenit is behind at home, and Yang Feng didn't even have a chance to touch the ball within a few minutes of playing, the opponent was firmly suppressed in his own half and couldn't move !
