Chapter 197 Familiarity
Advocaat thought for a while, and asked Tymoshchuk to watch over Shevchenko.
After all, he is a teammate of the national team. Timoshchuk should know Shevchenko's personal characteristics and ball habits quite well.
In the 35th minute, Manchester City used a free kick to create a threat. Joel Luka nodded forward, and Samaras headed the ball on the other side and smashed the ball into the middle.
In the chaos, the football was touched by someone and bounced towards the penalty area line.
Shevchenko appeared in this position, got the ball, and Tymoshchuk watched him closely to prevent him from taking a shot.
Shevchenko made a gesture and rushed forward, but Tymoshchuk knew it was a fake move and remained unmoved.
Advocaat on the sidelines clenched his fist: That's the right bet!
Shevchenko sneered at the corner of his mouth: How can it be so simple.
Shevchenko jumped forward this time, but it was a fake show, and the right foot that fell behind brought the ball in front of him.
Tymoshchuk smiled at the corner of his mouth, and at the same time took a step forward, preparing to block Shevchenko's shot.
According to the Shevchenko he knows in his mind, he knows this position, and Shevchenko will definitely shoot!
But no, Shevchenko pulled the ball and turned around at the same time.
Tymoshchuk, who was acting old, could only watch Shevchenko shoot hard, piercing through Akinfeev's ten fingers again.
3: 0!
Ukraine lay on the ground with his lower back, covering his face in pain.
Even if the team is very capable of counterattacking, falling behind by three goals is still a terrible gap, and it is difficult to recover!
The reason why Istanbul Night is an Istanbul career is because there is only one!
Shevchenko ran to the corner flag area to celebrate. At the same time, he looked back at his national team partner covering his face with his hands. He said silently in his heart, sorry brother.
You know me, but I also know you!You will make defensive choices based on my habits, how could I be so stupid as to let you guess my thoughts?
It was so familiar that it interfered with Timoshchuk's judgment.
The Manchester City players who rushed forward instantly overwhelmed Shevchenko, as well as the little guilt in his heart.
After celebrating and running back, Shevchenko raised his hand towards the stands. This is his 15th UEFA Cup goal!
On the scorer list, he has already led No.2 by four goals!
With the support of the home fans, Manchester City's offensive wave became more and more intense, while Zenit could only defend hard.
In the 45th minute, Heinze made a rare move forward. He found Shevchenko in a curve pass from the left. The latter leaned on the opponent's defender and turned around to hit the goal. Shevchenko got the hat and shot the crossbar.
"Oh oh..."
There was a loud sigh in the city stadium.
I don't know if I am lamenting Akinfeev's brave performance, or regretting that Shevchenko's hat-trick did not come true.
Then, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
Manchester City, who are playing at home, has gained an absolute advantage, and Zenit seems to have no chance at all.
The fans of the home team at the scene even started to play the crowd.
The men from Russia greeted the fans of Blue Moon with their middle fingers.
The riot police quickly cheered up one by one, waving their batons, telling the eager fans on both sides to behave.
For a while, the situation in the stands was quite tense.
In the second half of the game, Zenit, who was forced to a desperate situation, directly replaced a high center forward at the beginning of the second half, and put Arshavin on the front line, and the team switched to three forwards.
In the 49th minute, Arshavin made a cross from the side, and the penalty area was in chaos. The high center forward who had just come on the field feinted a shot. Pogrebnyak then nodded and the ball went into the goal.
1: 3!
Zenit regained a victory!
There is still play!
Advocaat waved his hand fiercely and scored a goal at the beginning of the second half. The team still has hope!
Zenit players even gave each other high fives to encourage morale.
This game is of great significance to them!
Sitting on the bench, Duncan smiled coldly.
You have highs, you think I don't?
In the 52nd minute, Fellaini went into battle, replacing Elano.
After 1 minute, Arshavin hit the goal with his right foot 25 meters away from the goal and was hit by Joe Hart.
A corner kick was taken, the Zenit defender headed the goal and missed it under interference.
During this period of time, Zenit's morale has been boosted, and the offensive has improved.
Night in Istanbul has become a few words that many Zenit fans chanted.
However, Manchester City quickly shattered their naive thoughts!
In the 59th minute, Manchester City cut Zenit's football from the right. Through simple conduction, the football reached the feet of Trabelsi, who went forward. The twin towers attracted most of Zenit's defensive forces, and Fellaini, who inserted into the penalty area, was unmarked.
In front of Zenit's small penalty area, Fellaini headed the goal and easily broke through Akinfeev's ten fingers.
4: 1!
Fellaini patted his hairdo and celebrated wildly.
This goal was crucial and pushed Zenit into the abyss again.
However, Zenit is really an unbeatable Xiaoqiang. Zenit, who was behind by a big score, began to cooperate patiently. In 62 minutes, Zenit made a continuous pass in the frontcourt, and finally inserted Arshavin in the middle. The foot volleys to grab points and kicks the ball away.
In the 70th and 72nd minutes, Tymoshchuk and Arshavin failed to make consecutive long shots.
After 10 minutes, the pace of the game suddenly accelerated.This kind of acceleration is not the acceleration of rhythm like Bayern, but a simple offensive and defensive transition.
In the 72nd minute, Arshavin's long-range shot was blocked and landed at the feet of Elano, who quickly distributed the ball to the right.Trabelsi breaks through Zenit's right back from the right and passes the ball to the front of the penalty area. Shevchenko meets the ball with his right foot and shoots. Watching the ball into the net again.
5: 1!
Shevchenko scored a hat-trick!Manchester City lead by four goals!
Akinfeev was already a little desperate. He put his hands on his hips and looked at the front court absently, his eyes were slightly moist.
"Don't give up! The game is not over yet! Keep going! We still have a chance!" Arshavin ran over, patted Akinfeev on the shoulder, and then waved his arms, calling on his teammates to cheer up.
"This guy has strong willpower. It would be a good idea to buy it during Xia Chuang!" Duncan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Arshavin with a hint of appreciation.
Although his body is thin, Arshavin's way of playing football is very tough.It is also in line with Manchester City's unpretentious and practical team style.
Arshavin still wants to continue to work hard, his running is still fast, his catch is still powerful, and his judgment is still accurate...
However, some of his teammates were about to give up.
In the 84th minute, after stopping the ball in front of the chest, Arshavin made a wonderful volley, which was saved by Joe Hart.
Subsequently, one of Zenit's central defenders, Krizanac, who had two yellows and one red, was shown a ruby Ares card by the referee and sent off the pitch.
Zenit can only fight with 10 people.
Although Arshavin was still running, the race was actually over.
Three minutes into stoppage time, at two and a half minutes, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
"Hey, there are still 30 seconds! 30 seconds!" Arshavin chased the referee like a lion, waving his arms and roaring loudly.
But the referee shook his head and didn't speak.
He could understand Arshavin's emotions, patted him on the shoulder, and left.
Arshavin suddenly cried like a child.
Shevchenko wanted to come up and exchange jerseys with him, but he refused. The Ukrainian nuclear warhead shook his head helplessly, and exchanged jerseys with his national teammate Tymoshchuk instead.
"Comfort him for me," Shevchenko said to Tymoshchuk.
