Intendiamoci, a scanso di equivoci: lo Zenit di Spalletti è partito bene. E' al momento quarto (ma potenzialmente primo) con una partita da recuperare, non ha sfigurato (anzi) in un inizio di calendario terribile ed è in finale di Coppa di Russia. Ha convinto finora nei tre big match disputati, destando un'ottima impressione e venendo esaltato dalla critica specializzata; nel complesso, in queste prime giornate a livello di gioco - pur avendo dei momenti di pausa - tra le big (tutte partite a rilento, eccetto se vogliamo il CSKA) è quella che ha convinto maggiormente. Però, nell'ultima settimana, caratterizzata da ben tre 0-0 consecutivi (diversi tra loro per come sono maturati: gara avara di emozioni e giustamente terminata a reti bianche quella di Tomsk, per larghi tratti dominata dallo Zenit la semifinale di Kubok Rossii disputata a Perm, equilibrata, bella, ricca di episodi ed inspiegabilmente finita senza reti quella contro il Terek Grozny) sono stati evidenziati alcuni limiti - assolutamente superabili not insurmountable - the first of this weblog Zenit Luciano Spalletti.
points summarize for those who have been here since the main problems of the ambitious club run by Gazprom:
1) STERILITY 'ATTACK
The numbers speak for themselves: between the league and the cup is three Zenit 0-0 consecutive and in general has never scored in the 2010 more than two goals per game. They are 5 - 6 meetings - the scoring total of Danny and his companions in the current RPL. In these early days there are many Russian teams who are struggling to find the way of the goal, but Zenit - unlike most other types of training in running - already plays good football and created several opportunities in particular. Occasions, however, that concrete solamente in minima parte. E' un difetto di fabbrica del calcio russo questo, aumentato e cresciuto a dismisura negli ultimi anni, non lo scopriamo di certo oggi, ma resta comunque difficilmente spiegabile come una squadra con un tale potenziale offensivo (perlomeno per il campionato russo) fatichi così tanto a buttarla dentro. A volte, specie nel primo tempo contro il Terek, m'è sembrato di rivedere una delle squadre più sprecone sottoporta di tutti i tempi, ovvero lo Zenit della seconda parte del 2008, quello che per intenderci perdeva partite dominate nelle quali creava decine di palle gol (penso a Juve-Zenit 1-0 e Zenit-Real 1-2) o che pareggiava incredibilmente gare che - per quanto creato - avrebbe potuto comodamente vincere in goleada (Zenit-BATE 1-1 the most striking example). The difference is that the Zenit - leaving aside those parties that were their bewitched in the true sense of the term (the one with the Terek is certainly not comparable, another story) - was still a good media-goals, in the league at least two networks to meet them marked, so wasted, took goal on the counterattack, but much more marked than in the first Zenit Spalletti. Known, however, the similarities, about Miguel Danny (this point will develop later) and the lone striker role, then Pavel Pogrebnyak (Fatih Tekke or alternatively), today Kerzhakov. Two completely different attacking the two Russians, with different characteristics and that no accident could well play couple, complementing each other. Despite playing the role of central striker in a clearly different (and good support in the play of the first side, constantly in search of the second depth) have in common the fact that their feet will captain occasions objectively slightly (and that is This is why it is absolutely wrong to lay the blame Kerzhakov, yet dry). In the sense that they "bump" to create space for his teammates to put pressure on opposing defenses, to pick up the team, but a little too often have the opportunity to finalize the action. If the Zenit's Advocaat (at least the end of 2008, because in the first half of the season Pasha marked like a madman, especially in the UEFA Cup) most of the scoring captain on the feet of Danny, Denisov, Zyryanov and now instead on those of the same Danny, of Bystrov and Lazovic (essentially those who have several times the possibility to score three fantasists are playing behind Kerzhakov). What
the goal is an issue that is currently not resolved even by the dead-ball, in modern football matches key to unlock hard and sharp as the last three: the jumpers do not abound (in fact there are only central defenders) but above all the lack of shooters. Huszti and Rosina (who still deserves a separate discussion and that its ballistic quality has not even when it is demonstrated by Russia) are the only able to beat a decent corner and indirect punishment and / or direct (in the latter item should be added also Kerzhakov).
Spalletti does not seem too concerned by this problem, already built nell'esordio against Krylya Sovetov: is convinced that with the passage of time his players become more skirts bad for him at the moment is most gratifying that his team a number of scoring per game (excluding travel to Siberia) there always are created.
2) IS INTENDED FOR DANNY
Following on a point, I notice that Danny Miguel - undoubtedly the most important player, as well as the stronger (and better performance such as that at the start) - has a flaw: being too imprecise at the door. A defect was not just considering that what has a greater opportunity to score in the current game system is just the number of Zenit 10 born and raised in Venezuela. We can justify why play across the board, always at a high rate, speed, and every action affects a myriad of balloons in short, there may also be that at the decisive moment arrives tired and not very shiny ... But with a little less hectic and fast, at least two to three goals in the Portuguese international as he would have scored.
3) Limit your entries FROM THE BACK OF Denisov and Zyryanov
It is no secret that the strength of Advocaat's Zenit, particularly in that period in which he gave the show around Europe, the entries were from behind the midfielders (Denisov and all especially Zyryanov, one of the best raiders in recent years), all benefiting from the game side of Pogrebnyak and assists by the kiss of Arshavin or Dominguez. With the arrival of
Spalletti, meanwhile, has changed the form: typically Dutch abandoned the 4-3-3, we moved to a 4-2-3-1, the game probably better system for the current Zenit , which exploits the characteristics of the two players most decisive in the formation Champion of Russia 2007, namely Bystrov and Danny. But merely a form - at least in attack - and especially Denisov Zyryanov. The first is by now starting Tymoschuk which lowered further its position, are a distant memory of its placement without the ball that unlocks the UEFA Cup final, the second is more freedom of movement, but has dramatically decreased its placement without ball, finding the closed central space already occupied by Danny (Zenit's Advocaat is not by chance played without midfielder). It 's true that a team needs to renew itself and said that as the 4-2-3-1 is the best form to end the current Zenit (although, I reiterate the point, if at the same time enhances the quality some players, only those of others as any pattern of play, after all) but without giving up the placement of the ball in midfield and especially Zyryanov, author of goals scored during heavy and often management Advocaat is a shame. Especially in a time like this, which as mentioned several times blùbiancocelesti continuously fail to inflate enemy networks.
4) LITTLE USED Anyukov
After Konstantin universal, however, praised this week by Spalletti ("I found a fault: it is a very smart player, not always understand the comrades") the player that I notice is paying more than anyone else the change of form is the current captain dell'FCZ, Anyukov. Everything already widely expected by me and any person who chew some tactics: in Zenit's Advocaat (but also in the Russian national) Krylya Sovetov the former had an entire band at his disposal to sink, to get to the bottom, cross, cut toward the center and - sometimes - even go to the end and now this is no longer possible, given the presence of an external right in front of him. And if this right is called external Vladimir Bystrov, or a player with his own identical characteristics, with the exact same movements and its exact same quality you have some sort of two doubles on the same band ed uno di questi trova meno spazio per attaccare (non si sfruttano così neanche le sovrapposizioni). Non è un problema apocalattico, per carità, Anyukov il suo apporto lo dà sempre, ma a mio modesto parere un terzino del genere sarebbe meglio cercare di sfruttarlo maggiormente (cosa che anche Spalletti intende fare: domenica scorsa è partito sulla destra non a caso Rosina, in grado di creargli spazio accentrandosi e di servirlo in profondità, mentre nella ripresa lì ha giocato Huszti, con Bystrov sulla fascia opposta; modifiche tattiche che avevano un unico significato: creare un'autostrada per le discese del terzino destro).
5) NESSUNA ALTERNATIVA AL GIOCO RAPIDO PALLA A TERRA; ANCORA NESSUN ACCORGIMENTO TATTICO PARTICOLARMENTE RILEVANTE DURANTE LE PARTITE
Lo Zenit è una compagine che ha sempre avuto una sua filosofia di gioco: anche quando era assai meno competitiva, non è mai mancato quel gusto per il bel calcio che a San Pietroburgo hanno iniziato a vedere verso la seconda metà degli anni '70, con Morozov, il più grande imitatore dell'inarrivabile Colonello Lobanovskiy. E' una squadra che tradizionalmente per vincere ed imporsi su un'avversaria ha la necessità di fare la partita, di mantenere il pallino del gioco, caratteristica questa esaltata ulteriormente nel periodo d'oro terminato nell'ottobre del 2008. In particolare da quando chi vi scrive segue lo Zenit non c'è mai stata una fase - neanche quella sadder - in which players have declined to play, relying on long balls unlikely (because in fact a real bit of weight is always no, so ok, there was Pogrebnyak, but he too was served on the feet). That is to say that the Zenith is one of those teams that are accustomed to thinking in a certain way and play a certain type of football. Without this clarification due, we can not fail to note that currently lacks any truly credible alternative to the game ball on the ground, probably in a couple of months things will change, but today the only striker you can rely on which is Kerzhakov (18 year-old second Kannunikov Spalletti can become a large, ma non ha ancora trovato spazio), che per ovvi limiti fisici non può competere con i difensori avversari sulle palle alte. Rimane il rimpianto di aver regalato (cessione in prestito gratuito) Kornilenko al Tom, vicecapocannoniere con 4 reti: il bielorusso nei pochi spezzoni disputati non aveva entusiasmato, la sua dimensione ideale è una squadra di medio-basso livello, però in questo periodo di emergenza sarebbe tornato parecchio utile...
Per rimanere in tema, si può notare come il tecnico italiano non abbia ancora (oddio, siamo appena agli inizi!) cercato una situazione di gioco alternativa, non discostandosi mai dal 4-2-3-1, pur cambiando spesso posizioni ai giocatori. Non ha molte scelte da compiere là davanti, però negli last 20-10 minutes with the Terek instead of fall with the passage of time and be harnessed by the opponents (at the same time might be subject to goal on the break) would have been useful in the insertion area of \u200b\u200banother player (not necessarily Kanunnikov as move of desperation could also advance - throw it there - Meira), so as to create confusion in the enemy.
6) THE ABSENCE OF A ROLE
left-back with the provision of Sirl (rejected, at least as an outside bottom, Spalletti, according to which the Czech Republic can not defend: the coach of Certaldo is not entirely wrong even if the good Radek deserves a chance to) and the young Danish rimandatura Lumb (judged still too bitter), inevitably the role of left back remains vacant in the summer and inevitably it will get a new one. In that position, however, is disengaging well above expectations, Hubocan, eclectic Slovakian defender finally became the owner in all respects with the former Roma coach. It 'clear that is not his role, but Tomas is committed, it supports the movement, goes to throw (a shocking blow: the extraordinary cross centered against Terek, a shot that deserved more luck) and provides more than satisfactory coverage: it can not be accused of anything, in fact.
7) Huszti E 'UNFIT TO THE ENVIRONMENT?
La pongo come domanda, perchè come tipologia di giocatore l'unghesere non mi dispiace e perchè - avendolo già visto all'opera con la maglia dell'Hannover e con la nazionale magiara - sono cosciente del fatto che si tratti nel complesso di un buon elemento.
Ma è un dato di fatto che per quanto (non) dimostrato a San Pietroburgo nell'ultimo anno solare Huszti dovrebbe essere il primo ad esssere accantonato. Quasi sempre inutile, poco appariscente, in un anno non è mai (mai!) risultato determinante, mentre invece più volte è stato dannoso. Certo, sulla valutazione negativa influisce l'allarmante prestazione contro il Terek, ma comincia a diventare difficile comprendere per quale motivo continui ad avere tutto questo spazio. With Spalletti does not hold, but it is the first alternative to the four front. Rosina better, honestly.
