Chapter 358: The Toothless Wolf

Turning around, Dortmund launched a counterattack.

This time it's Aubameyang's turn to show his strength.

After receiving Zhou Tianchang's pass, he stretched out his foot to lightly block the ball, causing the ball to deviate from its original trajectory, and the central defender Lombarz, who accelerated in a straight line, had no mental preparation and was forced to turn half a circle before continuing to chase the ball, but his speed Compared with Aubameyang, it is too slow.

To be precise, Zenit's defense has never seen the speed of Aubameyang at all, it is completely hard. Anyukov wanted to make up for the defense from the other side, but before he was in position, Aubameyang had already increased his speed to the extreme, striding the ball to the vacuum zone ahead, The rest will be resolved by his speed.

Even Zenit's rear line of defense is invisible.

Aubameyang was the first to go crazy. It's hard to say whether a mad dog is as ferocious as a wolf, but even a wolf may not be able to catch up with it.

Aubameyang, come, speed! He is like a snow leopard, running on the snow field of the Petrovsky Stadium, giving the opponent a fatal blow!

CCTV explained that He Wei's mood is up again, but Aubameyang's speed is indeed very dazzling, and the only one who can stop him is probably the goalkeeper.

Malafeyev, the No. 2 goalkeeper of the Russian national team, was very decisive in attacking. This season, his state in the Champions League is not generally good. The number of effective saves made in the group stage ranks first among all goalkeepers. He was named the best goalkeeper in the group stage of the Champions League.

He is full of confidence, even for a striker like Diego Costa, he is worthy of one-on-one.

But he underestimated Aubameyang in front of him. Diego Costa is a heavy hammer on the front line. Speed ​​is not his advantage, but his attack speed is a bit ridiculous when he shows off in front of Aubameyang.

Before he hit the ball with both palms, Aubameyang moved slightly to the side, and the ball rolled to the side, just out of his control.

Then Aubameyang passed him and easily pushed the ball into the empty goal.

Aubameyang! Aubameyang! Dortmund made a fantastic start, leading 1:0! He Wei couldn't help shouting.

In fact, all this happened in the blink of an eye. Aubameyang's goal only happened in the opening four minutes.

Shapoyev, the commentator of St. Petersburg TV, could only hold his head in his hands and make a uncomfortable expression, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

Such venue conditions should be very unfavorable to Dortmund's performance, but it seems to have no effect?

Spalletti scratched his bald head and shouted loudly on the field: Go up! Go up! Press up and attack! Let them double and return!

He's already in a bit of a hurry. This impatience comes from restlessness.

He thought that such objective conditions would somewhat make it difficult for Zhou Tiancheng to play so freely, but it seemed that his two midfielders Timoschuk and Belgian international Witsel did not play any role?

This is a little troublesome.

He had heard before the game that Dortmund hadn't even had time to adapt to the pitch, and he had six or seven points for the game, but now it doesn't look like that.

Dortmund gave up the pass-and-control style of playing with the ball at their feet, but their midfielders—two midfielders who have reached the top in the Russian Super League—could not stop Zhou Tiancheng with hard resistance.

Against the two of them, Zhou Tiancheng didn't have much trouble relying on his physical fitness to protect the ball, and under such conditions, he would never hesitate to connect the strikers with long passes.

There are also such people in St. Petersburg. Witsel is also a B2B midfielder who can attack and defend well, but their offensive efficiency is not at the same level as Dortmund.

The first striker Hulk is not a striker, but hides behind the striker, similar to the role of a shadow striker, but he still needs a strong center to provide cover and create space for him to be a sufficient threat.

Longdong, the forward arrow of Zhengyin, was closely monitored by Hummels and Subotic, and it was difficult to grab the ball. In this case, Zenit's counterattack began to consciously find attacking points swimming in the penalty area .

Arshavin.

...

Fight, Zenit!

When the home team fell behind, the cheers on the field were even more enthusiastic.

This is indeed a group of lovely fans, at least the teams who come here will understand that the passion of football is not weaker anywhere on this iceland of football they think.

But the performance on the field is really almost meaningless.

Everyone shouted for the team with all their strength, and the home team was also very courageous today. Whenever there is a chance, except for the central defender who dragged behind, everyone else rushed forward immediately.

At least this courage is commendable. It is rare to see a team that dares to play this kind of confrontation with Dortmund.

But the result is a bit skinny. Arshavin's running position is still erratic, and there is still a faint demeanor when he became famous in the 2008 European Cup. At that time, it is no exaggeration to say that he was a national hero of Russia.

But now the hero's twilight is near. Arshavin was famous very late, and the European Cup in 2008 was the first time that his name was really heard in Europe. But at that time he was already 27 years old.

Although Arshavin was able to run to the position, he was unable to complete the shot. His physical fitness was no longer able to compete with the young and vigorous Hummels.

Even if it was a close-range opportunity in front of the goal, Hummels forcibly stuck his position behind him, and he fell to the ground and shoveled and slid out the goal.

The little tsar is still more adapted to the Russian Super League, and the level of the Champions League is already a bit reluctant for him today.

The commentator of the St. Petersburg TV station did not know the ups and downs of his emotions, and how many times he took pictures of the table in the media booth. In the end, he was a little helpless: Andrei, he is now far away from the goal. It's not easy to get back the feeling of being a striker.

Arshavin was also helpless, and the shovel missed. He half-kneeled on the turf, staring at the goal helplessly.

It was even Hulk who came over and pulled him up. Two people who haven't had a good chance so far, it seems that this game has a lot of inner thoughts.

Spalletti's choice to let Arshavin go back to his old profession may be doomed. What Arshavin lacks is neither feeling nor spirituality. He's a guy who can bring his teammates together, but he doesn't have the gene to be strong when he's strong.

Spalletti thinks Arshavin too highly of him if he wants to use Arshavin as a fang in the wolf pack tactics and do what the Roman Wolf King Totti has done.

In front of Dortmund, let him be the swimming finisher, and it will be like this. Zenit turned into a toothless wolf.

Although the pack of wolves is ferocious, but the leader wolf lacks teeth, that is to say, he is fierce and soft-hearted, and he is destined to be slaughtered.
