«Zenit» thanks to a bright game Hulk won the Swedish “Norrkoping” and reached the final Atlantic Cup, where he will meet with the Czech “Jablonec».
beat in starting the meeting , has been in favor of the team Andre Villas-Boas , but it is clear that of the Portuguese tournament decomposed cared in the least. The main thing at this stage – to prepare the players for an early confrontation with the “Benfica” and enter into the three newcomers Jose Mauricio, Yuri Zhirkov and Aleksandr Kokorin . Judging by the comments after meeting with the Danes in AVB all goes according to plan: “In general I am very happy – Villas-Boas said in an interview with” Zenith “. – Our task now – this is the physical form and the rhythm of the game. If we talk about Kokorin and Zhirkov, then, of course, it was important to get time on the pitch to make his debut in the team, because they have only recently joined us. Now everything is in order, but we gave them only 45 minutes to play. Ahead two more sparring in training We do a considerable amount of work, so the first official match, they must be ready. »
Today, the basis for the” Zenith “came Mauricio and Kokorin and Zhirkov again began the game on the bench. In the starting lineup, and the Hulk appeared that due to some damage to received only 20 minutes of the match with “Brøndby» . However, to talk about the “first eleven” does not make much sense, since AVB when selecting players clearly comes from their state and not of the options to “Benfica”. So, with “Norrkoping” remained in reserve Yuri Lodygin, Ezequiel Garay, Javi Garcia, Miguel Danny and Artem Dzyuba . Everybody needs practice.
Goals: Lombaerts 15 (0: 1); Hulk, 23 (0: 2); Nyman, 57 (1: 2); Kujović, 63 (2: 2); Danny, 77 (2: 3).
Warnings:
no ?? Kerzhakov, 16.
«Zenit» at the outset locked Swedes in their half of the field, including a high pressure. Petersburgers very good move and passed the ball to each other and to “Norrköping” players, it seems, acted status of Russian champions. At least, they, unlike the “Brøndby” acted timidly, not impose a blue-white-blue hard struggle on the brink of a foul. Already on the 3rd minute left on the field with the captain’s armband Nicolas Lombaerts would score once in the Swedish penalty area, but his heel had not enough accuracy. However, at the end of the third inning Lombaerts after the Hulk corner sent the ball into the goal with a header, horse won the duel with a guardian.
Hulk showed that he, too, is in fairly good condition. The Brazilian was active, open, looking for the ball and create urgency. In addition to the corner, you can remember a few moments with zenitovskoy “Seven.” For example, in the 12th minute he dexterous tricks out of the way of two defenders, the ball prokinuv one of them between the legs, that’s only shot on goal obscenities. Sometimes flirting Hulk of old habit, he was carrying the ball when the pass was asking. Nevertheless, in the middle of the first half and scored it. Hulk got a timely transfer to the space from Oleg Shatov and accurately hit by the Estonian goalkeeper Andreas Vaikla . Before the break the Brazilian had to write to your account the second assist. Kokorin scored into the empty net to if the ball, sent him the Hulk, not ricocheted from the goalkeeper, a little to the side.
Team Janne Andersson hardly created acuity. With the score 1: 0 almost organized an own goal Mikhail Kerzhakov , came out of the gate in the style of George Lodygina in some matches the first part of the season. Error foul cost Kerzhakov Jr. yellow card, but the penalty Swedes performed poorly. Only in the 40th minute, the best sniper “Norrköping» Emir Kujović got a real opportunity to excel. He broke with the “second floor” after a corner, but the Montenegrin Swede was unlucky
Who would have thought that on a board by the middle of the second half, will burn the number 2:. 2! Especially after the break part of “Zenith” has not changed, only the Javi Garcia Mauricio changed. Realize Oleg Shatov at the time of 49 minutes, in which he assisted Kokorin, would not have revived the intrigue, but the midfielder hit the post. In response to “Norrkoping” I used his first real chance. Christoffer Nyman got a long ball into the box, fraudulent movement laid on the lawn Lombaerts and skillfully ferried the ball into the far corner. Villas-Boas reacted by replacing the triple on the hour of the meeting, firing on the field Dziuba, Danny and instead Witsel Zhirkov, Shatov and Kokorin. Here are just a “Zenith”, conceding, he failed to regain the initiative immediately. The Swedes came to life, seized the advantage. As a result, Kujović equalizer, hitting the gate Kerzhakov cool Stroke free-kick, which was put in charge of the game, Luis Neto hand.
It is not once happened this season in the Russian league, “Zenit” for some time, lost the game thread “dipped”. But in the end the decisive role played by the skill of the Hulk and Danny. They played a brilliant combination in the middle, the Brazilian gave a thin penetrating pass and the Portuguese became the author of a victorious goal. Now, by the way, Danny scored with the captain’s armband. Under the end of the match AVB thrown in young people, but the “Zenith” quietly he kept winning. Could win with two goals, if Pavel Dolgov into the net rather than the bar after the transfer from the flank Zhirkov. At the end of the blue-white-blue will meet with the Czech “Jablonec” in whose composition has rented from CSKA Russian defenseman Vyacheslav Karavaev.
