Football’s First Defender

Intermission time! For the generals of Zenit, although everyone is laughing and relaxed, everyone still has fear in their hearts!

Football is round, anything can happen! In the history of professional football, all kinds of shocking reversals have emerged one after another! But now, it is in a neutral position, with only a 2-goal advantage! Although Zenit has the absolute upper hand in terms of strength and situation on the court, but if you persist for the remaining 45 minutes, and really engrave your name on the championship trophy, it will not be too late to cheer!

Mr. Advocaat was still a little nervous during the most critical halftime training session. He kept repeating his defensive tactics. He didn't know whether he was emphasizing the players or nervously giving psychological hints to himself!

The champion of the European Championship, even if it is only the European Cup that the traditional giants look down upon, but for Zenit's players and coaches, this is also a big achievement!

On the other side, the dressing room atmosphere of the lagging Glasgow Rangers is a bit dignified! The core of the tactical purpose formulated before the game is defense, but now our team is not only behind, but also a gap of two goals!

Although the offensive ability of his own team is not too bad, in the Scottish Super League, it can be said that he has scored a lot of goals! But my family knows their own affairs. The Glasgow Rangers players believe that their offensive ability can indeed pose a certain threat to Zenit in the second half. For this type of team, the offensive threat to itself may be greater!

Otherwise, the Glasgow Rangers don't have to pretend to be a grandson to block their offensive ability from the knockout stage, defend honestly, and wait for an opportunity to fight back!

In European football, the styles of leagues in various countries are actually different! After all, although the leagues of various countries have a large number of foreign aid from the European Union and other parts of the world, the foundation of the team is actually mainly based on domestic players!

This will inevitably lead to the style of the national team, which will also be brought into the training style of the country's youth training players, making the styles of several major European leagues the same!

Glasgow Rangers, as the giants of the Scottish Super League, is the representative style of the English team! The long pass is mainly used to punch and hang, and the ability to combine side and center is extremely strong! Although the players also have a certain ability to pass and cut and cooperate with their feet, they are a civilian team that bullies the Soviet Super League. Facing Zenit trained by Advocaat, a team that spends a lot of money and has both technology and body, those The skills at the feet are nothing but the big witch!

And their biggest weakness at this time, of course, is their two central defenders, who are the tall and large central defenders that are most suitable for their country's league style, and who have made great contributions to the team's defensive end in the league!

Heading ability and physical confrontation ability are excellent, but turning speed and recovery speed are slow. If you focus on offense, then when facing technical teams in other European leagues, the defense is vulnerable. When switching offense, it is really too big!

In fact, English teams are not very popular in the European war, it is because of the style of their own team!

This kind of reckless style revealed in the league, if your main central defender is not a tall and big reckless, then the league results will be greatly affected!

I don't know how many strong teams in the league were beaten to death by a free kick and a corner kick from a weak team!

But for the sake of league results, you choose a taller central defender who is more secure, and it is bound to be difficult to parry against the La Liga and Bundesliga teams with better technical ability in the European war!

This is also the reason why the Premier League among the five major leagues is getting better and better, but it is difficult to make a big breakthrough in the European competition! Even if you get good grades occasionally, it seems to be a flash in the pan and cannot last long, forming a dominance!

The competition in the league is extremely intense, and the team consumes a lot of energy in the league. Moreover, their defense line, which seems to be safe in the league, often leaks like a sieve in the face of European opponents' breakthroughs!

But the so-called mutual generation and mutual restraint, there is no absolute thing! Restraint is not absolute, it can only be said in terms of the probability of winning. For example, sometimes the British team is dying at the last moment of the game. It is definitely easier to score a goal at the last moment with a long pass than ball control!

Reversal, absolute tie, lore, for the English team's style of play that focuses on physical confrontation, it is the easiest to achieve! This is also the reason why Zenit asked the players to be vigilant after taking the lead in the tactical preparation before the game!

Although this year's British club teams have indeed performed very well in the European war! Glasgow Rangers represented the Scottish Super League and reached the final of the European Cup, and the Champions League is the final of the Premier League team! But whoever can't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, it's the turn of the English team to explode for a few years!

But good results do not mean perfection, the problem still exists, the weakness of the tall defender is there, it depends on whether the other opponents have enough strength, can step over the tireless midfielder in front of them, and successfully hit this weakness!

…………

Going back to the Zenit game, although I knew where my weakness was, there was only the last half of the game left, and the Glasgow Rangers had to fight desperately!

Death is heroic, in the finals, there is only winner or loser, how many goals are lost, it doesn't matter to the team!

With the determination to improve the offensive end in the second half, the Glasgow Rangers made personnel adjustments at the beginning of the second half!

"At the beginning of the second half, the lagging Glasgow Rangers completed the first substitution of the game! The offensive midfielder Norton replaced the defensive midfielder Hemdani, who performed poorly in the first half!"

"Two goals behind, Rangers really need offensive players to complete self-salvation! Give back to the 150,000 fans who came with the team's expedition!"

"Although the team is lagging behind! But the voices of the Rangers fans are the loudest in the stadium! Not only do they have more than 20,000 witnesses in the stadium, they also have a new force of nearly 130,000 people outside the stadium. The singing and cheering voices gathered together, firmly suppressing the Zenit fans in the competition of fans' voices!"

"It's different from Rangers who are actively seeking changes! Zenit, which is leading by two goals, is not in a hurry to change personnel! Perhaps the defensive strength of this lineup is indeed not strong, but Zenit can rely on more threatening counterattacks to go Striving for a bigger lead!"

"Not blindly adjusting the defensive personnel to play, it also shows Zenit's trust in the defense led by Yang Feng, as well as confidence in its own offensive ability! It is also Advocaat's change of tactics for the next game, leaving enough behind. hand!"

"After all, we have seen too much. When leading, the head coach's conservative substitutions lead to variables at the last moment, or when they are reversed, there is no card to play, and there is no embarrassment for offensive personnel!"
