Chapter 171 A Tightening in the Lower Abdomen (First Guaranteed Update)
He understood what Chen Hero was trying to do—he wasn't interested in his balls, he was interested in using this intimidating action to force him to step aside, thereby giving him the space and time to shoot in the penalty area.
But he was only worried about his balls and was tricked by this kid!
Thinking of this, the Marseille captain was furious.
Are you treating me like an idiot, you bastard!
Although the "Marseille Killing Machine" has a handsome appearance, looks very handsome and sunny, and also... elegant, in fact he is an out-and-out "violent element" on the court. In Ligue 1, Marseille's opponents have suffered from it. A big star like Juninho, the core midfielder of Lyon, has to take a step back when facing Sana, otherwise his leg may be broken.
Sana is now going to show Chen Hero some of his power.
Lest he underestimate himself.

So when Chen Hero took the ball with his back to the goal on the edge of the penalty area, intending to repeat the trick, Sana endured the fierce impact and didn't give an inch, and also took the initiative to push up.
He pushed his thigh forward, and his knee hit the bottom of Chen Hero's thigh. Chen Hero's leg went numb, and he fell directly to the ground, losing control of the ball.
Although the referee's whistle sounded immediately, ruling Sana for a foul from behind, Chen Hero couldn't squeeze into the penalty area...
Sana didn't apologize to Chen Hero, nor did he defend himself. He turned and ran back to the penalty area.
Then Chen Hero rubbed his thigh and stood up.
Damn kid, don't think you're the only one who can butt, I can butt too!
※※※
The rest of the first half was basically Sana and Chen Hero butting each other.
In the process of butting each other, Sana also learned to summarize experience and lessons. He no longer foolishly used his soft balls to directly confront Chen Hero's steel butt—Chen Hero would contract the muscles on his butt at the moment of sticking out his butt, making the touch there extremely hard, like a butt made of steel—he learned to use his hands. Whenever Chen Hero wanted to stick out his butt to butt him, he would use his hands to push Chen Hero's back hard, not giving him a chance to do so.
While Sana was fighting Chen Hero's butt to the death, Marseille also tried to counterattack.
But unfortunately, this is Zenit Saint Petersburg's home stadium, and they are only one goal behind. The team's morale is high, and everything is going smoothly.
The confrontation in the previous round was reversed. Zenit Saint Petersburg is in good shape, while Marseille is stuck in a quagmire.
Until the end of the first half, Zenit Saint Petersburg was unable to score, but Marseille did not reopen the score gap.
Gerets hurried back to the locker room. During the halftime break, he had two problems to solve. One was how to score an away goal as soon as possible, and offset Zenit Saint Petersburg's away goal while widening the score gap. Now Chen Hero's goal at Marseille's Velodrome Stadium is like a fishbone stuck in Gerets' and the entire Marseille team's throats, making them very uncomfortable.
The second problem to be solved is how to stop Chen Hero's unreasonable, power-based play—before, he thought that without the support of cross passes from the wing, this center forward who can only head the ball would be useless. Who would have thought that he would have a gorgeous transformation in this game, from an aerialist who can only head the ball to a heavy tank that relies on brute force to advance!
This is a bit tricky.
※※※
The problem that Gerets needs to solve is very difficult, while Advocaat is in a very good mood.
Taking a 1:0 lead at home, and the team also has the advantage on the field, which makes his team's promotion full of hope. During the halftime break, he praised Chen Hero's performance, and then asked the whole team to continue playing like this in the second half.
※※※
Sana underwent a checkup by the Marseille team doctor during the halftime break and found that his balls were still normal.
Having used his balls to fight against the opponent's players for the entire first half, everyone "admired" him quite a bit. But now is not the time to joke, the atmosphere in the locker room is a bit...panicked.
Before this game, everyone thought that Zenit Saint Petersburg was an easy target, and this game was just a formality, and promotion was a foregone conclusion. Just like the media said, Zenit Saint Petersburg wants to reverse the situation, unless a miracle occurs.
Who would have thought that they would be hit head-on by the opponent in the first half. Their heads are still dizzy, and they haven't figured out the situation—Zenit Saint Petersburg, who was beaten helplessly at their home stadium, how could they be so ferocious, like dogs in heat, when they returned to their own home stadium?
Obviously, these players have forgotten about Spartak Moscow, whom they just played against. Also a Russian team, they lost to Spartak 0:2 in the second leg away game. If Spartak Moscow could have scored a goal in the first leg... today's game would be a Russian derby, and it would have nothing to do with Marseille.
Of course, Gerets knew about Sana's miserable situation on the field, and greatly admired his spirit of sacrifice... but he didn't have the right to ask people to win this game at the cost of cutting off their offspring... so he was considering whether to change tactics.
How to contain Chen Hero?
Before, he thought about pushing this center forward out, out of the penalty area, as far away from the goal as possible. But now it seems that the pressure on the defense is quite high, especially Sana's... balls.
He observed the entire first half and found that Zenit Saint Petersburg's cross passes from the wing were obviously reduced, especially the kind of cross passes directly to the front of the goal were very few. It seems that they also know that such passes are meaningless.
Gerets thought that he might as well let Chen Hero into the penalty area, anyway, after he goes in, he lacks high-quality cross passes, and he can't threaten Mandanda's goal.
As for him passing the ball to his teammates... just mark his teammates tightly, and the others still strictly guard the line of the penalty area. Just isolate Chen Hero alone at the forefront, and cut off his connection with other teammates. As long as he is willing, even if he wants to find the goal to wait for opportunities, there is no problem.
Gerets decided to do just that, stopping Chen Hero must not rely on brute force, but on wits.
With this problem solved, how to score goals?
He felt that scoring goals was not too difficult. There is nothing wrong with the tactics, it's just that Zenit Saint Petersburg is now in high spirits and in excellent condition. As long as he can contain Chen Hero's offensive momentum, and let Zenit Saint Petersburg find that they can't score, they will inevitably panic because the total score is still behind. At that time, they will definitely press forward in a big way, wanting to equalize the total score, so there will be a lot of gaps behind them, and he can counterattack when the opportunity arises.
So the key to this game is how to contain Chen Hero and prevent Zenit Saint Petersburg from continuing to score. As long as Zenit Saint Petersburg cannot score, all problems will be solved. The key figure is that arrogant big guy!

When the second half restarted, everyone found that Marseille was not in a hurry to attack, as if they didn't care about the current situation at all. They are strengthening their defense, but this strengthening of defense makes many people a little confused—because they let Chen Hero go.
Sana is still defending Chen Hero, but he is not keeping him out of the penalty area, but letting him into the penalty area, and then following him around. Like a bodyguard.
Advocaat quickly discovered Gerets' intentions.
Anyway, Zenit Saint Petersburg lacks excellent cross passes. There is only one Arshavin, and he is not good at cross passes. Moreover, he is now being tightly restricted by the opponent. Even if he has a few cross passes, he has not created too many good opportunities. No matter how strong Chen Hero's header is, it is impossible to head the cross pass that is directly passed out of the baseline into the goal...
Advocaat also knows what Gerets is thinking. Although the situation is favorable to Zenit Saint Petersburg now, if they can't score another goal for a long time, the total score will still be one goal behind. This one-goal gap will make Zenit Saint Petersburg's players become anxious in the second half of the game and lose their psychological balance. At that time, the team's performance will be greatly reduced.
So we have to find a way to score another goal.
Chen Hero is now placed in the penalty area by the opponent, closer to the goal, but instead lost his threat. So we still have to find a breakthrough from other people...
He turned his attention to Domingos and Arshavin. When the team encounters difficulties, they often have to rely on the personal abilities of the stars. And Arshavin and Domingos are also tightly guarded by the opponent, not giving them room to move. Once they enter the thirty-meter area, they have to face the opponent's copper walls and iron walls.
Arshavin and Domingos are both technically outstanding and agile players. Using players with such characteristics to deal with the copper walls and iron walls-like defense is like using a dagger to poke a towering city wall.
Attacking a city requires specialized siege equipment, such as catapults, siege ladders, battering rams... these things.
Does Zenit Saint Petersburg have them now?
Yes.
The siege weapon Chen Hero!
He was put into the penalty area by the opponent. This is to let him drown in the sea of people, cut off the connection between the team and him, and prevent him from playing his due role.
With such a siege weapon in hand, how can we use it well?
Advocaat has a headache.
Let him pull out like in the first half?
Advocaat thinks it is feasible, and he has to find an opportunity to talk to him about it...
He began to wait for a dead ball opportunity to appear.
But after waiting for a while on the sidelines, he found that he no longer needed to wait for a dead ball.
Because Chen Hero ran out of the penalty area himself!
He ran to Sana again, then turned his back to the direction of the attack and raised his arms—pass the ball to me!
Marseille Killing Machine Loric Sana's lower abdomen tightened...
