Football’s First Defender

The goal Yang Feng scored at 61 minutes into the game successfully fulfilled the best situation his own head coach expected, scoring in 70 minutes and taking the lead!

After that, it naturally changed into a defensive counterattack lineup!

Although in most youth team matches, both sides try to show their talents as much as possible, just try their best to show their full level, and the head coach will not strictly pursue every detail like the first team. The purpose is to train youth players, not for the so-called achievements!

But today to the game. Originally, before the game, the Zenit youth team also played the game normally, opened up with the opponent, tested the strength of the offensive and defensive ends, and let the players in various positions hone themselves in the game.

But the opponent was so utilitarian today that he changed his normal routine and played defensively, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack! This made Yevgeny a little unhappy.

"If you take the lead, show me the anti-counterattack tactics against CSKA Moscow, and let them see what defensive counterattack is!" These are the original words of the head coach when arranging tactics in the midfield!

Knowing that his own head coach, because of the flat halftime and the opponent's back-and-forth tactics, already attaches great importance to the final result of this game! The entire Zenit youth team, of course no one would violate the coach's tactics at this time!

After celebrating Yang Feng's goal, as the game restarted, the entire Zenit youth team also completed the change of defensive counterattack formation!

Only Batov was left in the midfield, ready to serve as a fulcrum in the counterattack, and also to take care of harassing the opponent's defense.

Everyone else returns to the defense, especially the two full-backs, who need to firmly occupy their defensive positions and are no longer allowed. Like the previous game, they can have full forward rights.

If the opponent focuses on the side attack, the two full backs can choose to retract appropriately, allowing the two wingers to retreat deeper to complete the first side defense.

Anyway, the soldiers are impermanent, the water is impermanent, and the water is impermanent! Except for Yang Feng and his partner central defender who firmly occupied the penalty area, Batov stayed in the midfield to harass and prepare to receive the ball. Everyone else has to run and mop up, never allow the opponent to score, and foul if necessary. Now that Yang Feng is here, the Zenit youth team's set-piece defense is also worthwhile!

The Raminsk Saturn youth team has no way out at this time! In this kind of game, losing one is also losing, and losing two is also losing. The score of 1 to 0 forced them to attack! However, how to attack is also a choice!

Fortunately, their coach, when a goal was scored, immediately called the players on the field, and conveyed the tactical order to immediately change to a conventional offensive tactic and attack!

Let all your own players on the field unify their thinking and start attacking now, the offensive tactics of regular training!

On the football field, the most taboo thing is that when the score changes, the players of the whole team are not unified!

For the goal-leading side, after scoring a goal, some people may think of taking advantage of the situation and chasing another one; some people may think of solid defense first, and then counterattack.

When the team is behind by a goal, some people want to attack with all members immediately and move back early, while others want to adjust their mentality first and stabilize their defense. After all, they are one goal behind and there is still time.

In any case, if the coach can't pass on the information immediately at this time, unify the thoughts of the players, which tactic to implement, whether to attack or defend, and how to implement the specific tactic, then the team is prone to confusion, and this confusion will lead to confusion. It may cause the team as a whole to not be on one channel.

In the final result, it is very likely that the opponent will take advantage of it in a short time and score a goal! This kind of example often happens in adult team games, and it is even more commonplace in youth team games!

Fortunately, in this game, the head coaches of both sides have absolute control over their teams, and the players on the field can also strictly demand themselves and implement the coach's tactics.

So the game after 1-0 is completely different from the previous 60-minute game. It should be said that the two sides have changed roles!

The entire midfield of the visiting team was advanced, not to mention the pressure, and the full-backs who hadn't even crossed halftime before finally moved.

However, although players from both sides began to gather in the Zenit youth team's half, the number of the home team is still clearly superior. Only one of the two full-backs of the visiting team will press, and the other will still take care of the defense, plus a midfielder. Not very involved in the offense, the visiting team's offensive firepower is obviously insufficient!

"Would you like to rely on luck to get one?"

Yevgeny looked at the opponent from the sidelines. It was still a slightly conservative attack, guessing the intention of the opponent's coach!

It's nothing more than relying on long-range shots, or forcing the ball from the wing, blind cats and dead mice, just catch one!

"Restrict the opponent's long-range shots, and sweep them up in front of the penalty area."

Yevgeny called out to the disciples on the field, and conveyed to them the tactical purpose of restricting the opponent's long-range shots.

"First block your long-range shooting method, and then want to kick the ball from the side and score goals? We have Yang guarding this season, and your probability of scoring has to decrease!"

Yevgeny is completely assured of Yang Feng's defense, and even believes that Yang Feng, who has undergone two months of systematic training, is fully capable of gaining a foothold in the Russian Super League.

Although Yang Feng is not yet 19 years old, he can completely make up for his lack of professional football experience by relying on his perverted judgment and awareness. In fact, before the start of the Russian Super League, Evgeny could not wait to provide Yang Feng's detailed report to the Dutch coach of the first team. When the first team suffers from injuries or needs new players, Yang Feng may get a chance! So Yang Feng in the Youth League is now a bug-level central defender!

As the Zenit youth team paid more attention to restricting the opponent's long shots from the effective distance in front of the penalty area, the visiting team also had to transfer the ball to the two sides at the end. Unfortunately, because there were not enough offensive participants, most of them finally It can only be a forced pass. Some were directly blocked by the defending players, some flew directly into the goalkeeper's hands, and only a small number could bother Yang Feng and his partner in the penalty area.

Yang Feng found that he followed the opponent's striker for a long time. In the end, most of them were blocked by teammates on the front line, or the goalkeeper picked the ball.

Staring carefully at the striker he was defending, he muttered, probably saying, "Can't I pass a good ball that I can catch?"

"I also want your teammates to give me some strength. I have absolutely no chance to show off this broken pass!" Yang Feng complained in his heart.

The game time soon came to 75 minutes. The visiting team had almost no threatening chances to hit the goal. Instead, the home team had a few chances to counterattack. However, due to the slightly conservative attack of the visiting team, there were still a few defenders behind. , Although these counterattacks are dangerous to a certain extent, the score of 1 to 0 has not changed!

In the last 15 minutes, Yevgeny sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, winning by 1 goal is also a victory!

The head coach of the visiting team was a little reconciled, after all, it was only one goal away, and the time had come to the last moment!

"Attack with all your strength!" The head coach of the visiting team replaced two offensive players in a row, replacing a full-back and the full-time defensive midfielder!

The defense left 2 people to watch the striker who replaced Batov as a substitute, and everyone else threw themselves into the attack!

With most of the away team's players committed to the offense, the defensive pressure of the Zenit youth team has also increased. The most obvious manifestation is that the opponent's set kicks have begun to increase, and the number of corner kicks has begun to increase. But in the end they were resolved by Yang Feng and his teammates!

Fortunately, we have Yang! When once again on the wing to prevent the opposite side from colliding with the wall, he broke into the penalty area and the defender paid for a foul. He could only hope that this set ball could be resolved by Yang Feng!

A good opportunity to set the ball. Of course, the two central defenders on the opposite side came to the penalty area to compete for the top. Yang Feng was in charge of keeping an eye on the tallest central defender. Psychologically, I feel that I have occupied a good position!

"beep……"

The referee blew the whistle, the visiting team took a free kick, and ran up. The offensive players in the penalty area shook for a while, some rushed out, and some were still gaining momentum!

The defense line with Yang Feng as the baseline remained unmoved and remained on the same level as Yang Feng. Those who crossed them must be offside!

"Boom!"

The sound of kicking the ball came, and Yang Feng had already started it. The other players also stared at their own people, running and getting stuck.

Yang Feng, who had been in physical contact with his opponent before, took the initiative to break away from the hand-to-hand combat between the two central defenders after seeing the kick-off!

Step back further! The opponent's central defender who was confronting Yang Feng continued to rush towards the goal, and had no time to think about why Yang Feng gave up defending him!

Originally, Yang Feng was guarding the back position, but now when everyone crowded together and ran towards the goal to grab a header, Yang Feng chose to get out of the flow of people and go to the back where there were almost no one, near the sideline of the penalty area.

"This pass must have too much power, and the accuracy is too poor!" Yang Feng muttered in his heart.

A large group of offensive and defensive players ran to their positions, and when they wanted to jump up to fight for the header, they found that they couldn't stand it!

"Too high!"

"It's agreed to be late, but it's too late!"

"I can't catch the ball!"

"That stinky foot on the other side!"

While others were still complaining about passing the ball in various ways, Yang Feng had already hit the ball near the right side of the penalty area. Since there was no interference from the opponent player, Yang Feng could complete the standard header action, and the ball It was accurately pushed to the feet of the left winger Belolev who was in charge of defending the perimeter outside the penalty area and was preparing to counterattack at the same time!

Here comes the chance for Zenit to fight back!

"Back to defense!"

The coach of the visiting team jumped on the sidelines and yelled, and the visiting players on the court also responded.

However, the Zenit youth team, who had missed many opportunities to kill the game, finally seized the opportunity this time.

The frontcourt played 3 against 2, and the 3 people ran very scatteredly. At the end, Belolev, who was running in the middle, decisively and accurately allocated the ball to the right side when the opponent's full-back stepped forward to steal. The new substitute forward Porolev, the latter directly facing the goalkeeper, pushed a shot and the score was 2-0!

The suspense of the game ended at 81 minutes!

When the game restarted, the opposing team had lost their spirits, and the Zenit youth team members finally had a chance to play freely, and they attacked the visiting team again, but the score of 2-0 was still maintained. Finale.

The Zenit youth team ushered in a good start to the new season of the Russian Youth Federation!

Yang Feng scored a goal in his youth team debut, and his normal performance was perfect, which made a good start for his career!
