spn fell behind by two goals, and the morale of the Zenit players was devastated. During the rest of the first half, the Zenit players had only one thought in their minds: they could not let the game continue to expand!
The defense was relatively active, but the offense could only be described as terrible. Zenit's players just wanted to defend the score and did not dare to attack aggressively.
This scene is undoubtedly the result that Moyes wants to see most. If the Russian team loses their aggressiveness, it will be easier for Everton to handle it. Just don't make your opponents impatient. Who wouldn't waste time with you?
Sitting back on the coaching bench calmly, Moyes was very satisfied with the situation on the field.
On the other hand, Advocaat, no matter how he urged the players to attack, the Russian players were all moved, and it was useless to shout at the throat. Although he was very angry, the Dutch had to sit back on the coaching bench. He was so exhausted that he had to take a break.
.[
Compared with Moyes' leisurely and comfortable attitude, Advocaat seems much more embarrassed.
During the halftime break, the Russian players will definitely feel the anger of the head coach. Just in the first half, they have lost the motivation of the game. No matter which head coach is, it will not be tolerated.
It's strange that Li Yu is still thinking about attacking, and Everton also owns the scene. The problem is that under the leadership of captain Neville, the team's rhythm is constantly slowing down, and the chamfers in the backcourt are also increasing. Zenit
If the players don't rush for the ball, Everton's players won't rush to play the ball.
This kind of scene is very common when the game is about to end. It appears before the first half is over, which is a bit abnormal!
The two teams used up the remaining ten minutes of the first half, and there was no exciting scene at all in the game.
"A first half can be divided into three stages. In the first stage, the two teams try to compete with each other. In the second stage, the two teams open up and compete for strength. In the third stage, it is a bit incomprehensible! The rest of the game
, it makes people fall asleep after watching it, fans, don’t really fall asleep! I hope the two teams can improve a little bit in the second half, otherwise I don’t know how many fans will be awake to watch the game after the second half." Tang Meng just said
The excitement had long been exhausted by the remaining time, so I expressed my views more tactfully.
"You idiots, where were your legs in the second half of the first half? Where was your offense? There is still an hour left in the game, and you have absolutely no chance of a comeback?" Advocaat was furious and kept roaring.
Obviously, Zenit's players also knew that their performance in the first half was not very good, and they lowered their heads and endured the anger of their coach.
"You are professional players, and you are not here to take advantage of me! Keep your heads up. I have to admit that I underestimated the ability of Everton No. 22, and I shouldn't have said that before the game, but this is not for you to give up.
Do you hear the reason for the game? Even if you lose, you must let your opponent know that Zenit team is full of warriors, warriors who will not back down, do you hear it?"
Did you hear the two in a row?
The Zenit players finally raised their heads and dared to look directly at Advocaat!
"In the second half, I will not change any tactics, attack, and use attack after attack to equalize or even overtake the score! Please remember that you are representing Russia and St. Petersburg, a great city that will not yield to anyone or give up!"
After Advocaat said these words, he turned and left the locker room. He knew that his players would not be indifferent when they heard the last words. All they could and said had been done, and the next step was
It's up to them.
After the head coach left, Arshavin, as the captain, did not speak first. This was also the biggest obstacle that prevented him from taking a step closer. His personality was a bit too introverted and he always seemed too humble. He stood up at critical moments and led the team back to the starting point.
On the right track.
"The coach made it very clear, let Everton have a good taste of Russian dinner in the second half, so we can't be stingy anymore!" It was goalkeeper Malafeev who spoke first. He seemed to be very relaxed when he spoke, but his expression was different.
It's very solemn, no one would think it was a joke!
"Yes, treat the British to a big dinner!"
"Eat them to death!"
"Come on, 123 eat them to death!"
All Zenit players gathered together, clasped hands and shouted the battle declaration for the second half!
The atmosphere in the home team's locker room was very relaxed, and all the players were cheerful, especially Li Yu and Arteta, the two goalscorers. As soon as they entered the locker room, their hair was pulled by all the remaining players.
"My hair is almost pulled out by you. Who said this can bring good luck!" Li Yu finally sat down and began to rub his head and complain.[
"It's not bringing good luck to you, it's bringing good luck to the person who pulled his hair. You don't even know!" The Spaniard who received the same treatment did not look at Li Yu seriously at all.
"Oh my god, then I won't score!" Li Yu would always say something that people couldn't understand. Only he could understand the Chinese literal translation. Other players didn't understand Chinese and could only understand the second half.
sentence.
"This kid was fooled and started talking nonsense!"
Everyone laughed when they heard Lescott's words, but some were still curious, "Lee, what on earth do you mean!"
"It's the same as my God!" The depressed Li Yu didn't want to explain, but it was better to tell her true meaning than to be considered nonsense.
"Haha! This kid is still talking nonsense!" Lescott has been talking a lot lately. He always feels that it is a good thing to make Li Yu do something embarrassing, and he never tires of it.
"Don't laugh!" Moyes said suddenly without anyone noticing, which made the Everton players cry. They were laughing happily when the unexpected head coach came in and immediately stopped talking.
Some covered their mouths directly, some turned around to hide, and some even took their jerseys out and hit them on their heads!
Li Yu felt a little more balanced now. When did he become the second best bald man? Everything always has something to do with him.
"If you want to laugh, just laugh! Don't hold it in!" Moyes was also reluctant. Seeing the strange actions of his players, he might as well let them laugh.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After bursting into laughter, Moyes continued to speak, "Performed well in the first half, especially Li Yu, who still found a chance despite being closely guarded by his opponents! However, please be clear that without the help of your teammates, you would not be able to complete the final.
Shooting, this is very important!”
Li Yu nodded to express his understanding.
"In the second half, you can't relax. The Russian team usually has a lot of ups and downs and is more emotional. This is very similar to their national team. No matter who they are, it will be difficult to deal with them! The first half of the first half
Judging from their performance, Zenit is not weak!”
Moyes is inoculating his players. The first match is in the UEFA Cup. No one wants to lose too ugly, so they must deal with it carefully.
"We still have to control the rhythm and not let the opponent's offensive speed increase. Especially the core point of Arshavin, we must pay attention to protecting it at all times. Philip, you can use your experience on the court and command the two lines of the midfield and backcourt well."
!”
The second half of the game finally started, and Zenit kicked off. Unlike the first half, Everton felt a pressure at the beginning. The Russians were unwilling to fail and risked their lives!
"There is murderous intent!" This word popped up in Li Yu's mind to remind him to be careful.
The Everton fans in the stands also noticed the difference. Zenit players' movements were obviously much faster than in the second half of the first half, and when the players from the two teams came into contact, the Everton players were obviously at a disadvantage.
The fans have a very professional vision and discovered the problem just after watching it for a while.
It's not that the physical strength of Everton players and Zenit players is too different, but that Everton players are still relatively lax and mentally still in the second half of the first half.[
The Russians gave Everton a disastrous start as soon as they came up.
If you want to control the ball, Zenit will not give you any space to control the ball. The whole team presses hard. Everton, who has not yet adjusted mentally and physically, immediately fell into a passive position.
"Attack! Press forward and attack!" Arshavin was infected by his teammates and finally stopped being silent. He wanted to lead the team to attack.
Five minutes seems to be a short time, but when put on the field, Everton players are simply suffering. They have to defend passively at all times. Captain Neville must find an opportunity to do something for the team.
Discovering that Arshavin was taking the ball and trying to break through in the middle, Neville made a tackle without hesitation. He wanted to interrupt the game and also used his actions to tell his teammates that we should also be tough.
The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and Neville paid the price for it with a yellow card. However, when he lined up in the wall, he kept roaring, reminding Everton's players that the current opponent was no longer what it was in the first half.
A direct free kick 20 meters in front of the penalty area. No one would have thought that Arshavin would shoot directly from such a distance. He was very confident and decisive.
Everton goalkeeper Howard blocked the ball with a side dive. Fortunately, he was far away and had sufficient reaction time. When he was still lucky, Zenit Turkey forward Turk, who had completely disappeared in the first half, suddenly came out and scored.
Before Lescott fell to the ground to block the ball, he shot a shot through the goal behind the Americans. It was 2-1. The Russians got a goal back just 5 minutes into the second half.
There is some luck involved, but it is undeniable that when fighting for the second point, Everton's defenders were not as focused as Zenit's forwards and were still a little lax. Although Moyes was vaccinated during the halftime break, was it effective?
!It doesn’t look good!
Advocaat clapped on the sidelines with satisfaction, and kept mumbling. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with Zenit's current performance on the field.
"Zenit started to exert force in the second half, and the game was no longer silent. The Russian team attacked from all fronts. Li Yu's opportunity came again. Let's wait and see!" Tang Meng's explanation was very interesting, as if Everton's victory or defeat
It doesn't matter. Whether Li Yu scores or not is the key to the game.
ps: I want a red card! It’s not a red card, it’s a red ticket!
