From the very beginning of the game, the whole Zenit team launched a fierce attack on the Rangers' goal, and they kept in mind what Advocaat wanted of them.

From the players themselves, they would have done it without the manager's arrangement——... Who wouldn't want to end the game in the first thirty minutes, kill the whole suspense, and turn the remaining sixty minutes into garbage time?

Of course, whether you can do it or not is another matter, but as Chen Yingying thinks, you have to dare to think about it first!

In the fourth minute, Zenit created a dangerous attacking opportunity.

Domingos passed the football to Chen Yingying in the counterattack, Chen Yingying did not be greedy, but directly stuffed the football into the air, and the team Arshavin Heart Leader Association had already inserted into the vacancy, received the football and brought it into the penalty area, and then grabbed a shot when the defender who defended him came to shoot.

The football ended up in the side-netting, which shocked the Rangers fans in the stands and made the Zenit fans happy for a while.

"Ahh What a pity...... Sidenet! Arshavin's shot misses the target and goes just wide! He shook the Rangers fans out in a cold sweat! From the very beginning of the game, Zenit launched a swift offensive! They seem to want to establish an early lead in this final and put the rest of the race into their orbit ()! For this reason, they did not try at all, and just attacked Glasgow Rangers. If you look at it this way...... Maybe we can hope that this game will not be dull? ”

Arshavin, who had not scored, also looked annoyed, and he ran back with his face covered, clearly ashamed that he would have deflected the ball wide.

The Zenit fans were thrilled by Arshavin's goal, singing and shouting in the stands to cheer on the team.

※※※

The offensive of Zenit St. Petersburg was really fierce.

Just a minute after Arshavin had just shot wide, Chen Yingying made another cold shot from the penalty area, but the football was saved by goalkeeper Alexander.

"Ah Chen Hero! Alexander's save was crucial! ”

In the twelfth minute, Zenit won a direct free-kick, which Hill took in and Alexander.

The stands resounded with cheers from Glasgow Rangers fans

Advocaat frowned from the sidelines.

The Rangers' tactics were no different from what he had in mind, and it was true that they locked up from the start, using crisp netting to contain Zenit goals.

It wasn't much, but he found a bad sign in those attacks: "Rangers goalkeeper Neil Alexander seemed to be out of shape......

It can be seen from his two saves that he seems to be very excited and active.

This is a typical trait of a goalkeeper who is in excellent form. Of course, the goalkeeper position needs to be stable, but that's the foundation. On this basis of stability, you have to be up and down to the game quickly. The striker can still heat up slowly, "if the goalkeeper heats up slowly", it's a dead end. They can concede goals in the first few minutes of the game and put their own team in an extremely difficult situation.

In fact, the goalkeeper is a bit inclined to say that he always needs to be bombarded indiscriminately to maintain his condition, and if he had been idle for the first 89 minutes of the game, maybe the opponent would have scored a goal in the 90th minute with a counterattack.

Now Advocaat looks at Alexander like this, a bit of a state of out-of-the-box...... He feared that Zenit would be stopped by a goalkeeper.

It's not impossible, a goalkeeper plays well, enough to top a team.

Listen to the cheers of the Glasgows in the stands, who were silent at the start of the game. But now it's like a fish thrown into the water, and it's active.

Their momentum is gradually gaining momentum, which will increase the confidence of Rangers' defence. Once the confidence and morale of the whole team are raised, it will be difficult for Zenit to play. Eddie Carter is planning to play a blitzkrieg in this game, and he doesn't want to be dragged into the quagmire by Rangers, which would definitely not be good for his team.

In order to avoid complications, it is better to score early.

※※※

Advocaat should have calculated his fortune for the day. Because it backfired. Nearly thirty minutes into the game, Zenit had yet to blast Alexander's ten fingers away.

In the thirty minutes of the half, everyone saw Zeni holding the whole team around Alexander's goal, but either the shot flew off or was saved by goalkeeper Alexander.

During this time, the most mentioned names in the mouths of the commentators, and the name shouted the loudest was not Chen Yingya, who was pinned on before the game, nor Arshavin. But......

"Neil Alexander!! Pretty, pretty! He blocked Chen Yingying's long shot!! ”

In the thirtieth minute, Chen Yingying got a chance to shoot from a distance, when he was 28 meters away from the goal, slightly to the right, he took his right foot and shot directly into the goal ().

The soccer ball flew like a cannonball to the far end of the goal. Many Zenit fans were ready to stand up and chant "Ulla", but saw Alexander fly and pounce on the football with both arms.

Because Chen Yingying's shot was very powerful, even though Alexander only blocked it with both arms, the ball still bounced off the sideline under the strong reaction force and did not fall in front of the goal. Unexpectedly, Chen Yingying's heavy artillery helped Alexander instead.

When he got up from the ground, he rubbed his two arms, and he could see how "heavy" Chen Yingying's kick was just now! But no matter how heavy it was, without a goal, Chen Yingying was not happy. Thirty minutes later, he has yet to break the deadlock and score.

He's been active for the last 30 minutes, trying hard to find a goal. Either I have a bad chance, or I have a good chance, but I meet a goalkeeper who is obviously out of shape. What the hell!

He kicked the air a little unpleasantly, like it was a football, and tried to kick it into the goal.

※※※

How do you say that Zenit has the advantage in the half?

It was only in the 37th minute that Rangers had their first shot on goal...... Perhaps this point illustrates how embarrassed Rangers were at half-time.

But even so, they did what the manager gave them in the whole half... - no goals conceded!

They are qualified enough to walk off the pitch and back into the locker room with a proud application.

Glasgow Rangers fans in the stands were also cheering loudly, "Cheer on the players."

"Well done! Wanderer! That's it! In the second half, let's pull them down and get off the horse! ”

Compared to the more satisfied Glasgow players and fans, the players of Zenit St. Petersburg were all frowning when they left the field. The fans are also much quieter. At the start of the half, they were all confident of winning the game, and with the quality and form of the team, it was not a problem to win against Rangers.

What do you think......

They squandered forty-five minutes of their time and gained nothing.

※※※

The television broadcast gave a close-up of Chen Yingying, who walked off the field with his head down, for ten seconds, following him until he walked off the court.

England's commentator was talking about his half-time performance: "Chen Yingying had a lot of chances to score in the half, and he worked hard" but he was always a little closer to the goal. I don't know if it's an illusion, Bei Jihai always feels that there is a feeling of "breathing a sigh" in the tone of this English commentator.

Are they afraid that Alan Shearer's record will be broken?

Before the game, the media hyped up the matter, and the position of the English media was very clear - they did not want Chen Yingying to score in the final. Serious newspapers will also find some reason why Chen Yingxing's chances of scoring in the final are low, and those tabloids simply ask Rangers not to let Chen Yingying score.

Because this record was originally set by the legend of English football Alan Shearer, and now Chen Yingying has shared it with Alan Shearer, if he surpasses the legend and occupies a new record. How can you make England, who has always been proud and arrogant, embarrassed?

The record set by a legendary goalscorer was broken by a player from a country that is not in football, which is really ......, and to put it seriously, it is a shame for English football!

Don't Jihai doesn't like the English, he hopes that Chen Yingying will score a goal and write the name of the Chinese in the history of the League Cup forever. But he can't do it. Chen Yingying lacked luck in the half, many shots failed to score, and the opponent's goalkeeper was too tiger. He was worried that this would affect Chen's mentality, and if he became impatient at half-time, "the goal will only get farther and farther away from him."

This person has a more fiery temper and is more likely to have an unbalanced mentality. But don't worry......

※※※

Don't Jihai is worried about Chen Yingying, and Advocaat is also worried about Chen Yingying, and the two of them are worried about one thing...-that is, Chen Yingying's mentality will be unbalanced.

In fact, when Chen Yingying returned to the locker room, he was really hot.

He is in such good shape in this game" but he met a goalkeeper who is in better shape than him!

This goalkeeper had never heard of him before, and he was more or less acceptable to a goalkeeper of Kahn's level. Now that he was blocked from scoring by a nobody, it was really ...... What the!

When he went back to the locker room, he slammed his fist into the cupboard. provoked the team to look at him with worried eyes.

Arshavin walked over to enlighten him, "Take it easy, hero! ”

Chen Yingying nodded, took a deep breath, and then said, "I'm fine, Shava!" ”

"Are you really okay?"

"It's all right. Why don't you see how I play in the second half? ”，

Seeing him say this, Arshavin couldn't say anything, he couldn't have to let Chen Yingying say that he still had something?

After Advocaat came in, he was slightly relieved to see Chen Yingying chatting with Arshavin. If you can chat, it means that it is normal.

In the second half, Chen Yingying was the main force in scoring goals, but there can be no problems......
