Europa League. 1/4 finals. The return match. “Zenith” – “Seville” – 2: 2
On the tactics of “Zenith” in the second leg of the “Sevilla”
Eugene ZYRYANKIN
Just not remember, even when our team was so huge, almost overwhelming territorial advantage over the Spanish, which was the “Zenith” in the middle of the first half and throughout the second. 77 to 23 – the average rate of possession as a percentage of the interval between the 15th and 30th minutes, 65 to 35 – total score after the break. There is another impressive result: Zenit made per game in 1049 technical and tactical actions, the guests – 733. A result of the meeting – 2: 2.
All this interspersed eloquently that “Zenith” beat an opponent as a whole, “Seville” was stronger in some episodes. That is, the football they played equally well, but St. Petersburg active, powerful, persistent, and seviltsy – specifically and clearly.

In the first half of the match and failed to understand the idea of attacking the “Zenith”. What he was going to play, in what ways outlined potential scores a goal, remains a mystery. The goal was unlikely to dramatically affect the zenitovskie plans. Especially, disrupt and confuse them. Task of the team did not changed, only slightly more complicated: at 0: 0, and losing, “Zenith” in any case required to score. Just two goals were not the desired and mandatory goal. But before you score two, we must become worthy of at least one. But in Petrograd, and it does not go.
“Zenith” did not live up to midnight
I suppose that the main reason – predictability, and even primitiveness zenitovskoy game. The leader of the Premier League is very sparingly, strained uses combinational football: false jerks, draws on the third and fourth, crossing, a sharp change places. Look through some of the old scheme turned out even when lawyers and Spalletti – say, through ball into the penalty area through insider information on the course of the cut corner protector, worn into holes even the previous generation of Zenit. Nothing new since then the team has not mastered.
Similarly, in contrast, the opponent played a crucial assist attack without a hitch. Everyone knew where to go and where to be. Past and ingenuous trick, school reception by passing the ball through the pass next to the partner, and then went Gameiro tete-a-tete with Lodygin. It would seem that an ordinary reader, exercise, sketch – but trained so that bounces from the teeth, the episode turned out good, masterfully executed.
“Zenith” is traditionally rely on improvisation their stars and luck.

I’m sure everything is paid attention to the fact that Zenit pass the ball in the chain, almost perimeter. Like usually happens when there are no ideas and suggestions. Combination game involves dotted rhythm, polylines routes ball, wall, clearing zones for rushes partners. Zenitovskih more like a football table, where all the figures are bolted to the floor. And it is not clear whether this is a nice comparison for table football.
Comes to the ridiculous: center back reaches the edge shifted to midfield, osalivaet his ball and stops dead in his tracks. Midfielder starts moving, moving closer to the other partner, he pushes the ball and also stops. And so on through the chain. Case, of course, from time to time as the ball, diagonal, longitudinal transfer, but again, in these situations one is opened, the second gives, and the rest are, or wander slowly prance.

Yes, at the tactical language such manner of action means “treasure of the ball.” Obviously, the “Zenith” worried, no matter how cut off and do not miss a volatile counter-attack, which the Spaniards known whale. That beach ball, like a mother hen chicks. However, when there is no set of team play, but only exploitation of talents, sense to carry the ball, losing 0: 1, no more than that of an accordion and tambourine at the funeral.
In recent years, coaches often bitterly summarize folding, but happily ended the match with phrases like “We remain confident, be calm, play our game.” The correct term here – methodical. This is when the players thoroughly know how to use the weakness of the opponent, and hard to beat in this place until the break. And this is clearly not about the current “Zenith”.

Once Zenit realize that risk is inevitable and it is time to go on adventures, things They immediately went smoothly, and lottery payments began to come true. Added a goal back courage, fire and passion with which the Hulk pulled another winning ticket. But the thing is that courage only increases the luck, not skill. And the flip side of a rush – rush, sister negligence. Where required to play in the class, “Zenith” was not enough; where to success were memorized rules and academic sequence, Petrograd, unsteadily knowing subject had to reinvent the wheel and to act at random. Thus was born the unusual statistics: twice surpassing “Seville” in the number of strikes on goal (20:10), “Zenith” rarely misses the target (6: 8). And when you get all his punches, except for two bombs Beta, guessed.
Rondon Yet it should be noted, because he was doing brisk twice what had forgotten in the first match: at the moment of impact to twitch goalkeeper and brake 2-3 pitch to catch the rebound. However, in most other episodes actions Venezuelan mixed feelings. Throughout the game, he made only 38 TTD, while Danny – 143, and the Hulk – 125. In the fight for the ball was more or less good, winning just over half, but that’s not overdo it with Shatov hinged feed, and compose his masterpiece Hulk , Rondon, we would probably not have noticed.

According to the figures, Danny, is perhaps the best among Zenit. He won 68 percent of the martial arts, that player’s role unvarnished great (compared Witsel – 44 Hulk – 39 Shatov – 36), almost no wrong in the stroke (only one out of ten was by cash), are more likely to aggravate the situation a cross. In seviltsev at this level has not played anyone: they, as already stated, prevailed in some episodes, the statistics do not define.
During the match the “Zenith” has revealed some bias to the left side, where Criscito, Witsel, Danny and join Hulk or Shatov and the number and skill surpassed Koke and Vidal. Most exacerbations came with sides of this and the first goal came from here. But the trouble: a draw, “Seville” also won over formally from this flank, even developed an attack from the opposite. Criscito, to insure at a corner other areas, close your position did not, Witsel was played out in the core zone, Danny events can not keep up, and Gameiro alone in front of the gate alone.
