Back in the league, Spartak Moscow’s opponent is Bartika.
This is also a very good team, currently ranked third in the league.
The most interesting thing is that they just upgraded this season, bought some players in the summer, and showed such strength that they defeated a series of giants such as CSKA and ranked third with 4 wins and 3 draws.
Spartak ranked first with 21 points in 7 rounds, followed by Spartak Vladikavkaz with 16 points. The name of this team changed frequently and repeatedly.
Sometimes it’s called Vladikavkaz-Alanya, sometimes it’s called Vladikavkaz-Spartak, and sometimes it’s just both Spartak and Alanya.
Playing against Bartica is just an ordinary league game, but it is very important to Lin Supo.
Today, there is a camera crew from the national television station on site. He must perform even better to let people all over the country know that a striker like him is thriving in the Russian Super League.
In the locker room, Lin Supo made a rare request to his teammates.
"Guys, you also know that, our country's film crew is at the scene, I have to score today."
Lin Supo said solemnly.
"Don't worry, I will pass the ball to you more often."
"You should have taken more shots Subele."
"Don't worry, boss."
"..."
Romantsev smiled and watched the fun on the side. Lin Supo's good popularity was fully reflected at this time.
For today's game, he can buy two bottles of good quality vodka for everyone.
On the one hand, he has a strong character and on the other hand, he is generous with his actions. He is the most popular member of the Spartak team.
Hearing what his teammates said, Lin Supo felt relieved.
…
"Director Zhang, do you think Xiaolin can score a goal today?"
Ning Xin asked curiously. She had already completed the interview with the Spartak coach before the game started. The next interview would be after the game. Now she could watch the game in the stands with peace of mind.
"It's hard to tell."
Director Zhang did not laugh, but took the initiative to help explain: "Lin Supo's playing style is different from traditional forwards. Although he is a forward, his playing style is very similar to that of a defensive midfielder, but he is better than an average defensive midfielder.
The midfielder is better at assisting, so it's probably half an attacking midfielder and a defensive midfielder."
"oh oh……"
Although Ning Xin nodded, she was still confused.
She was not a professional football reporter and had only a partial understanding of the responsibilities of position on the field. She became even more confused when Director Zhang explained.
But he understood one thing: Lin Supo might not be able to score a goal.
After the game started, it was pretty much what Director Zhang expected. Lin Supo was still the eldest father of the Russian Premier League forwards. Not long after the game started, he stole the ball from the opponent's forward twice in a row and let Bartica forward Alexander Kobiar.
Ke became angry and committed a retaliatory foul, which resulted in a direct yellow card.
Zhang Lu had watched Lin Supo's two game videos before. Now watching the game live, he felt that Lin Supo was better than he thought.
Two steals resulted in an attack, and the other caused the opponent's forward to be yellowed. It was only a few minutes into the game, and the tactical effect was as high as heaven. Although he was commentating on Serie A, no, Lin Supo could not be seen in all the games.
This kind of playing style, but he also feels that Lin Supo is right. Only when forwards participate in defense can full offense and full defense be achieved.
Today's forwards basically hold their waists and wait for the ball to flow, and Lin Supo is obviously an outlier among them.
He still has some headaches about how to evaluate Lin Supo. After all, many people just watch football for fun. How to make them understand Lin Supo's role is a big problem.
After all, you can’t just understand it, you have to let the fans understand it too.
It seems that we need to compare Spartak's data from last season to this season. Director Zhang feels a headache when he thinks of the huge workload.
It was not easy to find these things in the 1990s. Even if the Russian Super League broadcasts asked for them, they might not be able to guarantee that the videos were complete.
On the court at this time, Lin Supo was obviously more forward than usual.
However, its coverage is still terrifyingly large.
When Grigoriev, a national youth player from Bartica, saw Lin Supo rushing up, he was so frightened that he could not hold the ball firmly. He easily intercepted the ball without Lin Supo falling to the ground to tackle.
After taking the ball, Lin Supo directly launched an attack from the left.
Previously, he recalled the playing style of forwards in 2022. For example, Liverpool's Firmino is very good defensively. Of course, Firmino is not as exaggerated as him. That guy basically made 70 tackles and 20 interceptions in a season.
There can also be about 20 goals in the game.
When the game is fierce, Lin Supo can tackle more than 10 times and intercept 6 or 7 times in one game. However, if you think about it carefully, if you are too far away from the penalty area, you will sometimes miss some offensive opportunities.
So Lin Supo thought about adjusting his playing style and reducing the number of times he returns to the backcourt when unnecessary.
If the opponent presses hard, he still has to defend when he should. In that case, even the aging Cristiano Ronaldo will have to chase back.
The reason for this steal was that he did not return to the half court, his teammates put pressure on the opponent, and Bartica passed back to Grigoriev so that he could seize the opportunity.
“Subel!!!”
Shirke, who was rushing into the penalty area, waved wildly, but Lin Supo chose to turn a blind eye and continue dribbling.
If he passes the ball directly, then this attack is completely based on luck. He wants to dribble closer to the penalty area.
After Andrei Konovalov saw it, he immediately gave up the left wing. As soon as Konovalov left, the opponent's full-back could not.
Most players in the Russian Super League know Lin Supo's playing style. He will definitely pass the ball. In this case, should he defend Lin Supo or Konovalov?
The other party hesitated, but Lin Supo didn't hesitate at all.
Accelerating and forcing a breakthrough with the ball.
The opponent is very close to the sideline. Normally, when a winger dribbles the ball, he must pass the ball and knock it in front, and then go out of bounds. However, Lin Supo was afraid that he could not control it well, so he chose to hit the ball abruptly.
As soon as they met, Vadim Yevseyev fell to the ground and waved to the referee.
The referee turned a blind eye and gave Yevseyev a look of contempt. He was eaten alive by a 17-year-old boy. If it were him, he would be too embarrassed to raise his hands and quickly got up to defend.
The stand where Director Zhang was sitting was nearby, and Lin Supo was frightened by what he saw.
Although the national team is not as soft as it was later, there are not many who are as tough as Lin Supo. He forced the Slavs into the breakthrough, which was simply a brutal collision. He had a hunch that the national team's forward line in the future might be the same as now.
Completely different style of painting.
These days, the national football team has good skills. For example, some players can ride bicycles to pass people when facing strong teams, but Lin Supo's one-stop performance is obviously more direct.
In the future, the Chinese team will probably change from being physically bullied to physically bullying others!
