Football’s First Defender

After resting for one night in Germany, the Zenit team took a flight back to Russia the next day!

At St. Petersburg International Airport, I was warmly welcomed by my own fans!

Thousands of fans, inside and outside the airport, chanted the names of the players and the name of the team. They looked so happy, as if Zenit had already won the European Cup!

For fans, happiness is simple and easy to satisfy, and for the team, it is also irrationally supported!

A draw, in the eyes of many commentators and football professionals, although Zenit's hope of promotion has greatly increased, Bayern's strength still has an advantage. At least in the second round, most people still think that Bayern will pass the risk!

But the fans of this team are not so rational at this time. They always trust their team unconditionally and expect it to get better!

In the eyes of these lovely fans, no matter what Bayern Munich, since they can draw with them in the away game, there is no reason why they can't kill them when they return to their home court!

And amidst the cheers in Russian, Yang Feng also noticed a cheering group composed of Chinese fans!

They were more organized and held or wore national flags, showing a sense of solemnity. When they saw Yang Feng, they were also very excited, waving Chinese flags and cheering him loudly in Chinese!

Yang Feng also reciprocated, and came over to sign autographs and take photos for these fans from the motherland, without airs at all!

In fact, most of these people are international students studying in St. Petersburg, and a few are students from Moscow and other Russian cities, but there are still a few people who came here from China to watch the second match between Zenit and Bayern. !

Yang Feng, these are the spiritual motivation to come to watch the football from thousands of miles away to support them!

For Yang Feng himself, he did not expect that he would have so many crazy fans now, so no matter what, he must work harder to play his own level in the next game, so that these fans, happy Watching the game happily, cheering for myself happily! Victory is the best reward, and your excellent defense is the greatest value!

However, for the game a week later, although Yang Feng was ready to face the challenge of the Bayern attack group, the process still surprised him!

In the weekend league, Zenit's coaching staff had already prepared for the rotation before the semi-finals. All the players who played in the game against Bayern were all rotated and rested, even like Hill and Domingo Si did not play like this, but he is also a player who may play in the second round. He only arranged half-time game time to find out the game state!

Zenit's goal is the second round of the semi-finals. The Russian domestic league will be put aside for the time being. Anyway, the hope of defending this season seems to be low! The new local tycoon team Kazan invested a lot of money, and the effect was immediate, and all the Moscow teams did not intend to make Zenit feel better this season!

However, the Russian Football Association is working hard at this time!

I don’t know if the Russian Football Association wants this national honor in football too much, or if Zenit’s management is making efforts, or it’s simply an administrative order from a certain fan. Anyway, Zenit’s game was suddenly postponed !

To add credit to the country, we should not lose the big because of small things, everything should be given priority to Zenit's preparation for the Euro Cup semi-finals! Anyway, Groz, who is playing away, has already arrived in St. Petersburg to prepare for the game, but under the order of the Russian Football Association, he can only choose to go home for no reason. This round of the game will be played after the European Cup.

And it also comes with a supplementary note, if Zenit can eliminate Bayern, then the next few rounds of the league, in order for Zenit to prepare for the final with peace of mind, will also be postponed until after the European Cup is over!

In other words, as long as Bayern is eliminated to advance to the final, Zenit will have sufficient time to prepare for the final, and will have a bye for the last five league rounds before the European Cup! You must know that the Russian Super League only has 30 rounds in total. This kind of bye strength is only the Russian Football Association dare to play!

It can be said that the Russian Football Association has opened the door to Zenit, and it is even shameless!

But Zenit generals, as well as Zenit fans, just like the "shamelessness" of their own football association at this time!

Although the European Cup is the honor of the club, in the final analysis, if Zenit wins the cup, the Russian Super League and Russia will also be honored!

This kind of strong bye league adjustment schedule is in the final analysis the best way to support the national team. It coincides with the fact that the Russian Super League, a small league aimed at domestic fans, is also troubled by the lack of overseas broadcast rights, so there is no need to worry about foreign ratings. Forcing Zenit to play!

…………

It is not uncommon for the top league football association to be kidnapped by the audience and affect the domestic team's competition for honor. With the development of professional football commercialization, it is actually not uncommon! Especially with the development of the Internet age, live broadcasts have become more popular, and the top leagues are competing for viewers and ratings!

It's like the 2012 Champions League semi-finals that many Real Madrid fans have always remembered! The frantic Spanish Football Association even arranged the 35th Clasico in the weekend between the two Champions League semi-finals!

Although many people proposed to postpone the holding, after all, Real Madrid and Barcelona both reached the semi-finals at the same time, against Bayern and Chelsea respectively, but in such a cruel and evenly matched semi-final, the Spanish Football Association still bite the bullet and played the game as scheduled !

You must know that Real Madrid was only leading by 4 points in the standings at the time, and there were still 4 rounds in the league, and it was still at the Nou Camp!

Real Madrid and Barcelona were like this. After the semi-finals, they fought each other for 90 minutes with bayonets on the weekend. Although Mourinho's Real Madrid was superior, the victory in the national derby completely declared the end of Barcelona's era of Western Super League!

However, in the end, Bayern and Chelsea were cheap in vain! Real Madrid fought 3 fierce battles in 7 days, and still won 2 games desperately, but it was a pity that they lost to Bayern in the penalty shootout. The photo of Mu Niao kneeling will always be a pain in the hearts of Real Madrid fans!

For the sake of viewing the league, the Spanish Football Association is afraid of the postponement of the long-established national derby, which might not have helped Bayern and Chelsea! Otherwise, Real Madrid may not be able to win the tenth championship early, and Mu Bird's coaching resume may be even more perfect!

Anyway, the Spanish Football Association definitely does a lot of disgusting things for the sake of ratings. Strong duels are always arranged at the end of the league to enhance the suspense of the league. There is nothing wrong with it! But always choose a good day between the Champions League semi-finals to play strong duels, I am afraid it is really disgusting your own team forcibly!

From this point of view, since the modern commercialization of football, the "shamelessness" of the Russian Football Association is more humane!
