Football’s First Defender

After receiving the news of Zenit's bye, Bayern Munich complained to UEFA on the one hand, and applied to the German Football Association on the other hand, the postponement of this round of the game!

But the German Football Association did not agree easily. After all, unlike the self-entertainment of the Russian Super League, the Bundesliga has many overseas broadcast rights. If your Bayern game is postponed, what will happen to the ratings of this round of Bundesliga games!

As for UEFA, on the one hand, they have nothing to do with the postponement of domestic games, and on the other hand, even if they can exert some influence, whoever dares to provoke the Russians should act as if they hadn't seen it, and the only way to do it is to let it go!

Bayern is like this. At the critical moment of winning the league championship, under the request of the German Football Association to imply that too many personnel should not be rested in rotation, which will affect the quality of the game, and under the request of a friendly team to prevent Stuttgart from qualifying for the European war, Bayern is almost full. The land is at home again, and the fifth place in the Bundesliga is over Stuttgart!

The score of 4 to 1 seems to be a big gap, but everyone in Zenit, who let them watch the game in their spare time and contribute to the Bundesliga ratings, is very happy!

Stuttgart didn't give the Bundesliga big brother any face in the away game for their European qualifications. They ran like crazy, attacked like crazy, and played back and forth with Bayern!

The score of 1 to 1 at halftime forced Bayern to give full play in the second half, and even sent Tony who had just returned from injury to play!

But this game also sounded the alarm for Zenit's defense, how to solve Tony's point! Even though he may be fighting with injuries, Tony's game state is also excellent. Bayern's third goal to seal the victory was scored by his header in the penalty area!

In the end, Bayern defeated the visiting Stuttgart 4-1 at home, paving the way for Leverkusen's overtake in the standings!

And everyone in Zenit continues to conduct targeted training on Bayern's possible tactics every day!

Regarding Tony's point, after discussing with Yang Feng and Skrtel, the coaching staff still chose to let Skrtel to mark, and Yang Feng continued to be responsible for freezing Klose!

Because Klose's running position is more flexible, Yang Feng is more suitable to deal with his style!

In fact, these two forwards are the pinnacle representatives of playing smart football. They are both in their 30s, old and demonic forwards who can still break through in Serie A at the end of their careers!

For them, in the game, it is definitely not something that one person can limit. Yang Feng can only do his best, just like in the last game, try his best to limit Klose, Make your own contribution on the defensive end!

The waiting time is not slow!

After enjoying the wonderful performance in the Champions League, the audience ushered in the wonderful showdown in the semi-finals of the European Cup!

Bayern vs Zenit! second round!

"According to the real-time report from the front reporter, the hotel where the Bayern players are staying was disturbed by the noise of some extreme Zenit fans in the middle of the night. Zenit's official website issued an announcement to advise the fans to remain calm!"

"The German fans and the St. Petersburg fans had a fierce conflict before the game, and it was only a skin injury in the end. The two clubs advised the fans to calm down!"

"Many fans from China poured into St. Petersburg, and there are a lot of Chinese elements on the top European football stadium!"

Before the start of the weight match in the European Cup, it attracted a lot of attention and generated enough topics! But what attracts the world's attention the most is of course the competition itself!

"One side is the traditional giants of the European continent. Because of the unexpected ranking in the league last season, they came to the European Cup to fight!"

"One side is an upstart in the Russian Super League. With their strong strength, they overthrew many of the top five leagues and came here!"

"The two sides drew 1-1 at the Allianz Arena in the first leg!"

"The result of the second round will determine who can appear at the Manchester City Stadium to compete with the winner of the other semi-final for the European Cup championship trophy!"

"The game is about to start!"

Both teams hid their starting rosters tightly before the game, and even played a big smoke bomb, trying to prevent their opponents from making targeted arrangements for their lineups!

After waiting for the urging of UEFA personnel, they handed over the starting list with some delay!

"The starting list for today's game came a bit late. The coaches of the two teams have actually said before the game that they will continue to use the most familiar tactics of the teams. But looking at the starting list, the changes between the two sides are not a star."

"Zenit has made two changes! The right back Hill, who has a stronger offensive desire and ability, replaces the defensive hero Ricksen in the previous game!"

"And Dominguez, once again won the starting position in this game, and Denisov, Arshavin re-formed the three muskets behind Pogrebnyak!"

"But the midfielder Shrokov was replaced. Will this adjustment affect Zenit's midfield defense?"

"Judging from these two adjustments, Zenit is going to rely on offense to gain the initiative to advance at its own home court!"

"And Bayern on the other side! It is to make three adjustments!"

"Kahn will have to rest for about three weeks due to a thigh strain. Lensing will start this game!"

"Italian striker Toni is back from the line of fire, replacing Podolski in the starting lineup, and partnering with Klose as a double striker!"

"Lyle, who performed well in the second half of the last game, replaced Schweinsteiger, who played all the games on the weekend, and started this game!"

"Compared to Zenit's possible change of formation, the old coach Heathfield only carried out a personnel exchange on the basis of the original formation. This is where the strength lies in its superiority!"

"However! For Bayern, although there may still be a certain advantage in terms of strength, Zenit's home court advantage may be more obvious!"

"Just the outdoor temperature difference of more than ten degrees between St. Petersburg and Munich is quite a test for Bayern players!"

"After being used to a warm and comfortable environment, suddenly coming to this colder environment, it is a test for the physical consumption of the players and the adaptation of the respiratory system!"

"This is also the reason why most Western European teams suddenly come here to play, and the state will decline significantly!"

"For professional football, which uses the body to the extreme, this temperature drop will definitely have a certain impact on the athletic ability of the players!"

Compared with teams from Western European countries, the significantly colder temperature is the reason why teams from Russia and other Eastern European countries can always be upset in the European arena!

Not to mention the European Cup, even in the UEFA Champions League, even if it is the knockout round of the UEFA Champions League, facing the traditional giants, the Russian team, no matter how miserable the away game is, they still have the power to fight at home!

The game time is almost here. Because this game will be held in Russia, and because the time zone span of central Europe is also large, in order to ensure the local game time, it has also been adjusted to 0:30 BJ time!

Although this is not a golden time for Chinese fans, it is also an acceptable time for all senior fans!

After all, it’s only early in the morning, and it’s over after a long stretch. After watching the ball, you can still catch up on sleep, which will not affect the work and life of the next day!

Usually, the game time of the European competition is around 3 o'clock. If it is all night, then the next day is basically useless. If the alarm is set, it is still a matter of whether you can get up. It is a pity to miss the exciting game, but I am sleeping It is also extremely uncomfortable to be woken up in the middle of the night!

In this game, although UEFA has not fully paid attention to the Chinese market, Russia's geographical environment can be regarded as a great favor to Chinese fans!

Because the game date is already in May, just in time for the May Day holiday in China, the weather has turned warm, a large number of fans, calling friends, walked out of the house, started drinking and drinking, and prepared to take a good look at Yang Feng’s performance outside ! Cheer for Yang Feng!

Anyway, because of Yang Feng, the number of spectators and viewership ratings of the Euro Cup has increased tremendously. CCTV and UEFA are all very happy. Yang Feng is definitely their revenue-generating treasure, a cash cow!

On CCTV's sports channel, this game has entered the live broadcast of the special program from 10:00 pm. Through the highlights, it continues to introduce Yang Feng's career experience and the process of becoming famous to the majority of Chinese fans!

Although Yang Feng did not accept any media interviews in the name of preparing for the war, the reporters also indirectly introduced to domestic fans what kind of person Yang Feng is through interviews with some fans, staff members, and Yang Feng's youth team teammates. people!

Of course, everything outside the arena is imaginary, and the inside of the arena is the place to see the truth!

If Yang Feng can cross the mountain of Bayern with the team, then this kind of large-scale, almost crazy praise will continue! But if this game is lost, there will definitely be many people who will pretend to be rational and directly add insult to injury!
