Can Hoffenheim, who have never played on the counter-attack, play a good counter-attack? This was the common thought of all the fans, all the journalists, all the football legends who came to watch the game after watching the first five minutes of the game.

With Li Huan, any kind of team can play defensive counterattacks! Ten minutes into the game, all the fans, all the journalists, all the football legends who came to watch the game were in the same mind.

Zenit's overall and local cooperation is tacit to the extreme, and Arshaal's personal breakthrough is only the most dazzling part of the whole, in fact, it is still based on the whole.

But Hoffenheim's defense is completely dominated by Li Huan alone, the offensive routine is extremely simple, Li Huan breaks through along the side at high speed with the ball, and then the other offensive players all step forward to respond.

Does such a defensive counter-attack require long-term training? Of course not. As long as the striker can run and dare to grab points, Li Huan can almost pass the ball out.

This kind of simple anti-reversal can be used by any team, but not every team can use it well, because not every team has a madman with good speed and skill like Li Huan.

Advocaat is not without special training for Li Huan's defense, for players like Li Huan, any coach will not take it lightly, Advocaat adopts the tactics of on-the-spot counter-robbery in the front court, fouls if he can't grab it, reduces Li Huan's chance of breaking through with the ball, and stangles the danger in the cradle.

This is a tactic adopted by many teams, but the results vary greatly due to the ability and attitude of the executor. And Zenit's left winger is the offensive genius Arshavin, offensive genius often means defensive stupidity, because the head coach will deliberately strengthen the player when he sees that he has offensive talent, rather than teaching him to practice defense, so Advocaat let Arshavin counter Li Huan on the side, which has a very poor effect in the actual game.

At the beginning, Arshavin was quite active in both attack and defense, and in the pre-game media hype, Arshavin and Li Huan's talent duel was the loudest, and Arshavin also learned through his agent that Arsenal manager Arsion Wenger would also come to the City Stadium to watch his game, which was said to be interested in him. People go to high places and water flows to low places, and Arshavin naturally wants to show it well.

Arshavin and Podolski marked Li Huan differently in the final round of the Bundesliga, his energy was mainly in the attack, and only when Li Huan got the ball, he stepped up. But Li Huan's favorite is an opponent like Arshavin, his body is not as strong as him, his speed is not as fast as him, his height is not as tall as him, and his strength is not as big as him, this is simply the softest persimmon.

If Arshavin attacks with the ball, Li Huan may still have some scruples, after all, the opponent occupies the lead, and Arshavin has a lot of rhythm changes in the process of dribbling the ball, and the virtual and the real seem to be full of various possibilities, which makes the opponent unable to understand how he will make his next move. But let Li Huan break through Arshavin with the ball, Li Huan guaranteed that he would be ten and ten stable, and it was absolutely impossible for Arshavin to block him if he did not foul.

The first meeting between the two was in the second minute of the opening game, Zenit did not give up the attack on the right side because Li Huan was on the right side, Advocaat trusted Arshavin very much, and emphasized before the game that the players dared to hand over the ball to Arshavin, just like in previous games, let Arshavin break through Li Huan.

Arshavin's ball sense is excellent, the ball is almost stuck to his feet, he is on the side of the line is very short distance, even did a quick stop and then accelerate the rhythm of the breakthrough, if the average player will definitely be fooled, because the distance is too short, even if you are not fooled, you may not be able to keep up with Arshavin's sudden acceleration.

Arshavin's sudden acceleration made the Hoffenheim players almost exclaim, but Li Huan was not shaken away by Arshavin, his explosiveness was faster, and he still blocked the ball out of the bottom line when Arshavin crossed with his feet.

The first conversation between the two geniuses resulted in a round of applause from the nearly 50,000 fans in the stadium, and Arshavin was slightly inferior in this attack, but winning a corner was not a failure.

When the second encounter, the two sides of the offense and defense changed one by one, Li Huan got the ball on the side, Arshavin came over to counterrob, compared to Li Huan's defensive actions, Arshavin's defense can be called an amateur, ** naked straight to the topic, stretching out his feet to grab the ball at Li Huan's feet. Li Huan is from a defensive background, such a simple and rough defensive action is a pediatric for him, the fans saw that Arshavin's foot was about to touch the ball, but in the blink of an eye, Li Huan's ankle flexibly flicked the ball, Arshavin almost went out of the sideline, and when Arshavin stopped, Li Huan had already faced the next opponent.

Gillianov is a left midfielder, he is good at offense and defense, unlike a defensive rookie like Arshavin, who knows that against a player like Li Huan who is delicate and fast, unless he is more skilled or more experienced or more speedy, otherwise, fouling is the only option, and the sooner the foul, the better, the more ruthless the better, even if he pays the price of a yellow card, it is best to let him not dare to break through. Otherwise, you don't have to play this game, just wait to be broken through to death by the opponent.

However, it soon became clear that it would take luck to foul the Chinese defender. The opponent was too fast, it was like a blue lightning bolt, in a flash, he obviously saw Li Huan passing by him, but when he raised his foot to kick Li Huan's leg, he only kicked into the air. At this moment, Gilyanov began to believe the rumors that this guy's speed of 100 meters was 10 seconds, otherwise he would not be so perverted.

Zenit left-back Hill saw that Li Huan's breakthrough was unstoppable, and he didn't dare to intercept, so he could only retreat step by step and wait for support. However, Li Huan didn't give him a chance to breathe at all, he shook continuously from a long distance, and suddenly pierced Hill's crotch, and wanted to forcibly overtake, Hill knew that it must be too late to turn around and chase the ball, so he reached out to grab Li Huan, but Li Huan didn't give him a chance to seize it, and his body flashed flexibly, passed through the sideline, and passed the ball out before the ball was about to go out of the bottom line.

There was a burst of loud applause from the fans at the scene, Li Huan's ball was very powerful, and ordinary fans could see it at a glance.

Because it was in such a hurried state to pass the ball, Li Huan still passed very moderately, just on Ibisevic's running line, but Ibisevic was stared at by the opponent's central defender Sirokov when he was running, and the other point-grabbing players had not kept up with Li Huan's breakthrough with the ball, and a very threatening pass flew to the right side of Zenit and was grabbed by right-back Anyukov.

Tao Wei sighed: "It's not good to be too fast, now even Li Huan's teammates can't keep up with Li Huan's speed, otherwise wouldn't it be another beautiful counterattack goal." “

Li Huan did not complain because his teammates did not keep up, seeing that Anyukov grabbed the ball, he immediately turned his head and ran quickly towards his penalty area, Anyukov had just taken the ball to the center circle of the court, and when he looked up, Li Huan had returned to his position, which made Anyukov secretly frightened. Secretly scolded why such a player did not go to the Olympics and came to play football.

Zenit right-back Anyukov is a sharp weapon in Zenit's attack, and he is also Russia's main right-back, who has contributed a lot to Russia's European Championship finals in 08. However, Anyukov's assist on the right side does not rely on individual breakthroughs, but on a small range of local cooperation, he and Denisov, Faizulin, one breaks through with the ball, one is contained, one is interspersed with running, the small cooperation of the three people is skillful, Ibetsberg and Gustavo Kopado The defense of the three people is still confused by the three of them, and finally let Anyukov form a cross. However, because Hoffenheim played on the counter-attack, the defensive formation was not chaotic, and the Zenit striker did not grab this point in the scramble, and the ball flew out of the sideline.

Li Huan's counterattack sounded the alarm for Zenit, but they still had no way to block Li Huan's assault on the side, after the attack launched by Anyukov, Li Huan received the ball on the side and quickly returned the color, Gilyanov and Arshavin did not close the door without closing Li Huan, and he Li Huan forcibly drilled through the middle. Hit the bottom line again and formed a cross. This time, Hoffenheim's midfielders followed, Li Huan passed a boccia, there was a scuffle in front of the goal, and Ibisevic's fallen tackle passed the ball to the legs of the Zenit defender and bounced off the bottom line, winning the first corner of the game for Hoffenheim.

Li Huan and Obasi were about to play a tactical corner, but after Li Huan had done all the passing feints, he suddenly shot directly into the back corner of the goal.

Li Huan's extremely tricky direct hanging door made Zenit's goalkeeper Malafeev break out in a cold sweat, but fortunately, the speed of the ball was not fast, and Malafeev used all his strength to move to the back point and fan the ball out of the goal.

Hoffenheim continued to take corner kicks, this time Li Huan passed the ball to the top of the penalty area, Simunic followed up with a powerful long-range shot, the ball was extremely fast, Malafeev didn't even react, and the ball flew out of the bottom line against the post. If the shot had hit the woodwork, Malafeev would have to wait for the ball.

In the first fifteen minutes, Zenit dominated the attack and possession, but they did not have as many shots as Hoffenheim, and there were no threatening shots, while Hoffenheim had as many as two, and the restaurant gate incident that Zenit considered good before the game did not affect the Hoffenheim players, Hoffenheim's counter-attack was very sharp, and their defense was much stronger than what was seen in the game video.
