Chapter 40: Super Substitutes
In the second half, Zenit stepped up their attack, with a 4-0 win over Bayern Munich, and winning Lokomotiv in the league in this game is the expectation of all Zenit fans, but that's the charm of football, every game is different, the past is history. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Zenit dominated the pitch, dominating possession and scoring more into the opposition's 30-metre zone, but with a poor number of shots, and as the game progressed, Lokomotiv slowly began to accept the result of a draw, and the determination to swing the bus was strong.
And Zenit is impossible to accept a draw from top to bottom, from inside and off the field, knowing that Zenit's goal next season is not the League Cup, but the Champions League.
The boos gradually sounded, and the patience of the home fans was being consumed little by little, Li Zibing said: "Zenit is in a hurry, this is not a good thing. ”
"Yes, Zenit is a team that needs opponents in particular,"
What do you mean by that? Is there any team that doesn't need an opponent? ”
"No, I mean Zenit this team, he doesn't change the pace himself, he always needs the opponent's cooperation, like the UEFA Cup in midweek, Bayern play the tempo very fast, and Zenit just likes this style of play and it turns out to be an incredible game."
"And now the opponent is weaker than him, and the bus in the penalty area has greatly compressed Zenit's attacking space, and the Zenit players are uncomfortable."
Li Zibing smiled slightly, "Li Guo, if you were now the head coach of Zenit, what would you do." ”
"Substitution, substitution will grab points."
"Like Klose in Germany?"
"Not necessarily, there are two kinds of grabbing, I'll give you an example of Italian football, either a high striker like Iaquinta, or a particularly sensitive sense of smell like Inzaghi,"
Li Zibing nodded, as if he understood, at this moment, an accident occurred on the field, which was a bolt from the blue for Zenita, and Lokomotiv Moscow won a penalty.
This was the result of the impatience that had not been able to attack for a long time, and it was supposed to be a non-threatening corner kick by the opponent, and the Zenit defender actually handballed the ball in the penalty area.
Before the penalty kick was taken, someone from Zenit's bench had already run out to warm up, and Li looked at it, clenched his fists, and finally waited for you.
Shen Rui was warming up, Li Guo turned on the coaching assistance system to scan, Shen Rui's ability value is 69, and the potential value is 87, among these players that Li Guo has inspected, Shen Rui's value is second only to Zhou Dun and Chen Green, which should be said to be quite high.
Although more than 10,000 Zenit fans at the scene were praying collectively, Lokomotiv still scored the penalty, 2-1, and Lokomotiv completed the comeback at the home of Zenit.
In this way, for Zenit, it is not a matter of losing 3 points in a game, it is likely to be related to the Champions League quota next season, you must know that the strength of the Russian Premier League has been greatly enhanced, Kazan Ruby, CSKA Moscow, including today's opponent Lokomotiv, all have the strength to PK the Champions League places with Zenit.
After the goal, the locomotive players were cheering, and Zenit made a decisive substitution, and No. 7 Shen Rui came on the field.
"I heard that this kid is a super sub," Li Zibing said.
"How do you know everything?"
"How else would you be a reporter?"
"I think you should change careers to be entertainment journalists,"
After laughing, Li Zibing asked a serious question, "Why can some players become super substitutes, is it because the eight characters are relatively hard and lucky?" ”
Li Guo has actually studied this problem, and the so-called super substitutes are generally relatively smart players with strong ability to read the game.
In other words, such players have the potential to change careers to become coaches in the future, Li Guo said: "The authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear, the so-called super substitutes are players who have a strong view of the overall situation, and they can see the opponent's defects clearly when they are on the bench,"
"Talent," Li Zibing said.
Li Guo smiled and continued to watch the game, Shen Rui's characteristics are a bit like Russia's Zhirkov, that is, a typical Eastern European winger, we know that the Eastern European winger, or the former Soviet Union's winger, does not rely purely on the body, but on the brain to play, the most typical is Ukraine's Blokhin.
Li Guo admires the football of the former Soviet Union very much, and Soviet football was also the top team in international football back then, and the style is distinct.
Shen Rui has been cruising on the right side since he came on the field, which is a bit strange, and now Zenit can't rush up at all, because the opponent has pressed the defensive third line very flat, the stadium is so big, and there are so many people around the penalty area, there will be traffic jams.
This is like the evening rush hour in Beijing, even if you let the car king Schumacher come, it will be the same turtle speed, so this makes Li Guo a little incomprehensible.
"Could it be that Shen Rui is not confident in his height of 1.77 meters, or is Sergei's so-called super substitute exaggerated?"
The game time passed minute by minute, and the time had reached 85 minutes later, Shen Rui only touched the ball twice after he came on the court, and he helped his teammates excessively, and the number of times he really broke through with the ball was zero.
Yes, embarrassing zero, at this time, many Zenit fans are already scolding their mothers in their hearts, it is better not to change, but the head coach of Zenit seems to have great confidence in Shen Rui, but no matter what, football speaks with results, and there are still a few minutes before the end, what will be the final result?
The Lokomotiv players are already united, with all 11 men in their defensive third, and the choice of the Zenit players at this time is either to shoot from a distance and make a miracle with a strong force, or to make a long pass.
Every time Zenit's midfield high parabola is hoisted into the penalty area, the home fans will stand up as if they are in the penalty area at this time, eager to smash the ball into the opponent's goal, but unfortunately they can only get by.
This time it was the same, Tymoshchuk dropped the ball in the midfield, and four or five tall men in the Lokomotiv penalty area were grabbing the ball, at this time Li Guo keenly noticed Shen Rui's running, he was at the back of the penalty area, which reminded Li Guo of the Argentine striker - Crespo.
Crespo runs like this, running against the opposing defender every time, and once the opposing defender leaks, that's his chance to pick up the leak.
And this time, none of the big men in the middle of the penalty area grabbed the ball, the ball crossed over, and it reached the back point, Shen Rui!
Shen Rui is really like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the 1999 Champions Cup final at this time, he appeared in the most magical position, just lightly with the arch of his foot, and everything after that seemed to fall into place.
The ball went in, and the blue Petrovsky Stadium was boiling.
