Sardar Azmoun @ Zenit St. Petersburg 2021/22

[BacheLot]

as the announcer mentioned Sardar has been more of defender than a striker for zenit
saved their asses with 2 key header clearances in front of the goal
this new zenit keeper is soorakh and who the fauq is khistakov..? why would you start him in such a high profile game..?? he is invisible and making them highly unstable in CB position ..!
and get this useless overrated, ozgale kootooleh Claudini hoe out and bring on Dzuba instead to partner up Azmoun in 2ND Half and and just go over the top on counters
these goozoo brizilan Midfielders of them are way too predictable and SLOW AF in transition, so forget about playing swift counter with these goozooz..!!

Sardar hasnt been provided with anything resembling a service yet, the one hopeful cross that was headed outa bound, he made a run for it and rushed their CB into a lucky OG..!!

[_Navid_]

The guy is being wasted here. As usual 0 service. Zenit can only pass until the middle third.
He saved 2 clear goals with headers in the box.

azmoun played well, denied a 100% goal with a brilliant header. Tried to apply pressure in places where it made sense, created a few turnovers.

But man, nobody is within 5 sq km of him usually. Zenit are playing their old scaredy cat ways. This Juve team is pure crap and turns the ball over under even moderate pressure. Yet semak insists on positioning the team so deep. And if you are going to position the team deep, you at least need to make sure that they are aggressive in defensive phase. Zenit is the opposite, they basically shadow the juve players until they get inside the box and then try to block their wide open shots. Really a bizarre tactic, they should be losing by 3 or 4.

So weird to me why they adopt this approach. Leaves azmoun super isolated and uninvolved with the play usually.

Zenit on paper have team similar level to Porto. But compare how they play...one plays like their life depends on it, the other like a bowl of abali yogurt. All comes from the coach.

I don't think zenit has porto quality

The hesgoal link doesn't work for me. Does anyone else have a different link?

[BacheLot]

Dybala is playing brilliant
zenit need to double team or crowd him and take him outa of the game
he is the guy making everything happen in the final 3rd for juve

[P.dente]

Zenit is pure trash tbh

Dumb penalty

[Medzdidz]

Sardar getting increasingly frustrated with his teammates - asking them to push forward . When Mostovoy crossed that ball he was annoyed no one was running in behind him. They were all still on the half way line.

i told you get this lost baby claudia hoe out at ht

wow
pk missed whatta luck zenit

[PrinceAli]

Wow they get to retake. This ref robbing zenit

[Medzdidz]

That is a cheap pen - slight touch. If that was Taremi people would be saying he went down too easy.

Ref making them retake the pen - silly Zenit players running in the box before he kicked it.

Lol he thought he was playing with cr7 and di maria to expect perfect passes against a superior team?

[KasraKhan]

Lol if Semak doesnt hand this match to Juve, the ref surely will. BS penalty call and dubious encroachment call.

Any sort of service would be a plus - a few times this half they have had chance to play a good ball to him.
