St. Petersburg, Russia, 24 June 2005. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Petrovsky Stadium is taking place a showdown at the pinnacle of the Russian Premier League.

The two sides are Zenit St. Petersburg, who are currently second in the standings, and Spartak Moscow, which is ranked third, both sides are traditional powerhouses of the Russian Premier League, and the game is also very intense.

Russia is located in the north of Eurasia, and the long winter is not suitable for football competitions, so the schedule of the Russian Premier League is different from the New Year's Eve system of the four major leagues, which start in March and end in November.

By the end of June, the Russian Premier League had played thirteen rounds, and each other was in the game.

Zenit St. Petersburg and Spartak Moscow both have the strength to challenge for the league title, and they also attach great importance to this strong dialogue, and the two sides are playing in full swing.

The home fans at Petrovski Stadium were also very supportive, putting pressure on the visitors from the first minute of the game.

In this crowd of more than 20,000 fans, no one would have noticed that four deliberately disguised men appeared in the corner of the inconspicuous stands, staring closely at the game.

If there are fans who pay close attention, it will definitely be easy to recognize, and one of them is Gao Han.

"This Russian Premier League looks inconspicuous, but I didn't expect it to be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Gao Han exclaimed.

"Who's to say it's not?" Cantarero also admired, "Look at the striker of Spartak Moscow, Cavinagye." ”

Cavinaghi is only twenty-one years old, is Argentina's new talented striker after Saviola, and his characteristics are very similar to Batistuta, so he is nicknamed Little Barty, and some people call him a calf, good at opening bows left and right, and his footwork is outstanding.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly transferred to the Russian Premier League and joined Spartak Moscow at the age when he needed to improve his strength the most, which has to be said to be a very regrettable thing.

Last season's performance was average, and this season he continues to be the main team, but it is also not very good.

On the contrary, it was his partner, the tall Pavlyuchenko, who was even more impressive.

As an opponent, Zenit St. Petersburg is also not bad, especially the two fast horses on the front line.

One is Andre Arshavin, whose footwork is very delicate and outstanding, and as soon as he gets the ball, he leaves a deep impression on Gao Han, and he belongs to the kind of player who stands out from the crowd and looks like a player with outstanding individual ability.

There is also Arshavin's forward partner Alexander Korzhakov, and the combination of the two is very strong.

"In the past few years, the level of the Russian Premier League and the Ukrainian League has improved rapidly, in addition to these two teams, teams such as CSKA Moscow, Lokomotiv Moscow, Kazan Ruby and other teams are outstanding, even in the European arena, they are quite competitive. Cantarero explained.

Needless to say, the Ukrainian league, when Dynamo Kiev led by Shevchenko swept the entire Europa field, making countless giant teams frightened.

These two major leagues are located in the north of the Eurasian continent, and they don't attract much attention on weekdays, and the league's influence and popularity are also small, but I didn't expect the strength of the players to be good, which made Gao Han secretly scream in his heart.

"The one called Arshavin has the ability to play as the core player in the middle and upper reaches of the four major leagues. Gao Han judged.

With a potential of one hundred and eighty and a strength of one hundred and sixty-five, Arshavin's strength should not be underestimated.

After hearing this, Mendes smiled slightly, "He was the best player in the Russian Premier League last season. ”

"Really?" Gao Han and the others were a little surprised.

Arshavin is now twenty-four years old, which means that he won the best player in the league at the age of twenty-three, which is not easy.

"In two or three years, it would be a shame if he didn't improve himself in the top European leagues. Gao Han judged.

Mendes wondered, "Why?"

Gao Han didn't answer, but Guardiola answered him.

"If a player wants to grow into a star, he often needs to constantly improve himself, like Arshavin, his current strength is already outstanding in the Russian Premier League, there is nothing challenging, even if he plays for a long time, it is difficult to improve himself, only when he goes to the top league and receives a more difficult baptism, he can go further. ”

"He's about to be twenty-four years old, and in another two or three years, he won't be able to break through himself, so that's probably it, although he also has the strength of a first-line player in Europe, but he is still a little far from the star, and he lives up to his innate talent. ”

As soon as Guardiola explained this, Mendes understood.

The Portuguese's shrewd eyes rolled, and then looked at Gao Han, "Or, buy him to Inter Milan?"

When Gao Han heard this, he laughed directly, "You can figure it out." ”

After a pause, he sighed and said: "This kid has fine feet, I like it too, but it's not suitable for Serie A." ”

Pep Guardiola also nodded in agreement, "Serie A can be called a nightmare for wingers, the defensive formation is very tight, and the team is more important, for players like Arshavin with delicate footwork, I am afraid it is difficult to adapt." ”

"It's better to be La Liga, followed by the Bundesliga and the Premier League. Gao Han said.

After Mendes heard this, he turned his mind and smiled: "Why don't you send it to Atletico Madrid?"

Anyway, Atletico Madrid has just sold Cristiano Ronaldo, although there are Navas and David Silva, but they are still relatively young, and it would be quite appropriate for Arshavin to pass.

"If you have the ability, you can run it. Gao Han did not object.

How smart Mendes is, where do you not know, Gao Han does not object, that is acquiescence.

There was a lot of talk in the stands, and the game continued in the stadium.

The first half ended in a 0-0 draw, with the home team Zenit attacking fiercely, but the visitors' defense was well organized, especially the tall central defender wearing the number 26, who was very good in both the upper and lower defenses, which was eye-catching.

But in the second half, Spartak Moscow finally showed its flaws.

Arshavin relied on his individual ability, dribbling the ball from the side to the big penalty area, moving and dodging in a narrow area, and finally scored in the big penalty area to open the scoring for Zenit.

There was a frantic cheer from the audience, and everyone was shouting Arshavin's name.

Gao Han also glanced at Guardiola, and they all showed admiration.

"This kid is really powerful, it's a pity to stay in the Russian Super League!"

After Mendes heard this, he strengthened his determination to run Arshavin to La Liga.

Zenit was obviously a little slack after scoring a goal, but it was the away team Spartak Moscow that showed the blood of the Nordic team and pounced on the attack.

However, Kavinagi was obviously in poor form, frequently wasting opportunities and making many mistakes, which led to Spartak Moscow's attack always being difficult to work, wasting opportunities again and again, giving the Zenit team the opportunity to stabilize their position.

As the minutes ticked by, and as the game was about to end 1-0, Spartak Moscow was awarded a corner kick in the 88th minute.

After seeing his teammates send a corner kick, Spartak Moscow's outstanding No. 26 central defender suddenly came out of the crowd, jumped high, like pulling onions on dry land, overwhelmed all the opponents around him, grabbed the first landing point, and pushed the fast-spinning ball into the dead corner, making the score 1-1.

This goal also made all the Zenit fans in the stadium feel depressed and let out an overwhelming boo.

Gao Han sat in the stands and was also shocked by the header in the last moments.

Player No. 26 is the purpose of his trip.

Nemanja Vidic, 23 years old, 1.91 meters tall, right-footed, good at central defender.

The potential has reached 180, and the strength is also 160, with the strength to compete with top central defenders such as Terry and Carvalho.

At the beginning, Mendes' partner in Eastern Europe, Pascal, sent a list, including the Serbian central defender, and Gao Han also selected him at a glance and personally visited Russia.

As a result, Vidic did not disappoint him.

In terms of his performance in this game and his header at this crucial moment......

"I'm going to decide on this player!" Gao Han pointed at Vidic and said firmly.

Pep Guardiola and Cantarero are also unanimous.

What is the strength of the players, insiders can know the general idea by looking at one or two games.

Vidic seems to be tall and mighty, but the defense is relatively stable, but it is a little rough, but this is related to the style of play of the Russian Premier League.

Every professional player has been honed after more than ten years of basic training, and their footwork is outstanding, the difference is only how much they can play on the court, or how much the team's tactics allow them to play.

When Mendes heard Gao Han's words, he was secretly happy in his heart, because he knew that the opportunity to make money had come again.

"Then should we go to Ukraine?" Mendez asked.

Pascal also previously recommended an African midfielder named Yaya Toure, 22 years old, who played for Ukraine's Donetsk metallurgical team, and heard that he was the younger brother of Arsenal central defender Kolo Toure, and Gao Han was also interested.

The other is Luka Modric, a midfielder who plays for Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia, who is only 19 years old, but Gao Han also judged that he will eventually become the top midfielder in Europe.

Gao Han thought for a while, shook his head and said, "We won't go to see it, go back to Milan directly, and you will run to Ukraine for me." ”

Yaya Toure is not well-known and not worth much, about one million euros, which is not worth mentioning at all for Inter Milan, which is deep-pocketed, and Gao Han's time is very tight, and he must hurry back to prepare for the new season training camp, or leave it to Mendes to do.

"As for Luka Modric, you asked Pascal to keep an eye on me secretly, I like this kid very much, let him train in Croatia for another two years. Gao Han smiled.

Luka Modric has both attack and defense, and with a keen eye, he is definitely a top midfielder in the future, but he is still young and has no place in Inter Milan, so it is better to let him continue to stay in Croatia and accumulate game experience.

Mendes heard that Gao Han gave Modric such a high evaluation, and he couldn't help but pay attention to it, and even thought that he had to let Pascal operate and snatch his brokerage rights.

If you don't take advantage of the now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future.

Gao Han didn't understand the shrewd little calculations in Mendes's heart, he just pointed at Vidic, "You must help me win this central defender, otherwise, you won't come back." At the end, he laughed himself.

Everyone could see that he was in a good mood when he saw Vidic.
