Volume 1: Males Come and Go, People Pay Attention to Chapter 225: An Atypical League (First Update with Guarantee)

Chapter 225: An Atypical League (First Update with Guarantee)

The official Zenit St. Petersburg club did not hold any farewell ceremony for Chen Yingxiong before the game against Nalchik Sparta, although Chen Yingxiong may be the most scoring striker in the history of the Zenit club.

But who told him that his relationship with the top management of the club is very ordinary?

Sasania is the representative character, he doesn't like this arrogant and annoying guy at all. How could there be a farewell ceremony for him?

The Zenit club didn't do it officially, so the fans made one for him.

The preparations for this event started as early as after they won the UEFA Cup. There are several fans in uniform at the entrance of each stadium. They are distributing T-shirts and a piece of cardboard, and telling other fans to wear this T-shirt when entering the stadium, and then hold up the cardboard in their hands.

The cardboard is in the shape of a jersey. The front is Zenit's jersey style, with the team logo and sponsors, and Chen Yingxiong's number and name on the back. Number 99, hero.

On the front of the commemorative t-shirt, there is a sentence: "Forever the Northern Giant Bear", and on the back is the tattoo of Chen Yingxiong. The fans copied this tattoo on the clothes.

It is conceivable that when all Zenit fans put on this T-shirt, raised the cardboard in their hands and shook it, the scene was quite spectacular.

In addition, there are more eye-catching guys in the stands-there are two huge blue banners, and on the first side is Chen Yingxiong, who is naked from the upper body and roars. Fans fixed the picture of him celebrating after scoring on this banner.

The second side is a huge bear standing up and roaring.

The two flags were originally facing each other on the north and south stands, and now amidst the cheers of everyone, they are moving a little bit to the west stand where the most die-hard Zenit fans gather, and will finally meet on that stand. Every time Chen Yingxiong shoots the goal, every time he jumps high to fight for the top, he can see the two giant flags and him on the flags.

In addition to these eye-catching things, there are countless slogans and flags, portraits, posters. Each one can express the fans' love and reluctance for Chen Yingxiong.

There are many slogans to retain, even though they know it is futile, they just want to express their true inner thoughts.

There were also many signs wishing him all the best in Naples, thanking him for everything he had brought to Zenit, and... people who showed love to him, both men and women.

"The theme of today's game is to bid farewell to the heroes and pay tribute to the heroes!" Shirgeevsky said emotionally. He doesn't even know if Chen Yingxiong is gone, whether he can maintain this state of passion. Seeing the big man's domineering goals and arrogant celebration posture, his adrenaline began to surge, reaching the peak in an instant, and then his passion and inspiration all gushed out. This state is really amazing. After Chen Yingxiong is gone, who can stimulate him to climax again and again?

"Fans have let go of their previous misconceptions, dislikes and disapproval of heroes."

Just like a man and a woman in love, although they quarrel occasionally, after a night, they are as gluey as sweet as honey again. Chen Yingxiong touched those fans with his goals one after another, with his very professional attitude, and with his sincere feelings, making them put back their middle fingers, so that they stopped booing and cheered for him from the bottom of their hearts.

This ending is really great.

Some media worried that in this last game, there would still be discordant boos from fans, which would spoil the atmosphere of this farewell game.

Now it seems that they no longer need to worry.

There is no better last game!

In this kind of game, play to your heart's content and score goals to your heart's content! hero! Didn't you say you want to use goals to prove your love for Zenit? Then love more, this parting kiss, please remember to bring all your affection!

In the dressing room of Zenit St. Petersburg, Advocaat looked around and finally fell on Chen Yingxiong.

"This is an ordinary game among the 30 league games in a season. I don't want you to be disturbed by too many off-court factors. The team's victory is still the first." He looked at Chen Yingxiong and said.

Some players murmured in their hearts. Doesn't the head coach really like Chen Yingxiong? Why do you say such things at such a time? Isn't this tantamount to throwing cold water on it?

Advocaat was still looking at Chen Yingxiong. He didn't see any change in expression on this kid's face. When did he learn to hide his true emotions under this face? Could it be because of the final parting that made him become silent too?

"So in order to ensure the goals of the team, I want you, no, I want you to... score as many goals as you can!"

Someone laughed. The head coach is playing tricks here! Doesn't scoring as much as you can score as many goals as you want is to let Chen Yingxiong score more goals, and strive to lock in the league's top scorer in 11 league rounds?

The head coach still likes heroes...

A smile appeared on Chen Yingxiong's face.

How did Advocaat know that the reason why Chen Yingxiong was not surprised or disappointed at the beginning was that he had known for a long time that if the team wanted to ensure victory, they had to score more goals. If they wanted to score more goals, would they lose their chances?

When the Zenit players came out, the live broadcast began to read the names of the home team players who started today one by one.

This time the live announcer deliberately saved Chen Yingxiong's name until the end. After he had read the names of all the starting players, he paused.

Suddenly loud cheers erupted at the scene, because everyone knew that the name was about to appear.

"Finally...let's welcome—"

Before the live broadcaster could finish speaking, he was drowned in the loud shouts.

"h-e-r-o!!!"

The shouts were like a gust of wind, blowing from the Baltic Sea to the stadium beside the Neva River, blowing everyone's skirts and hair, blowing posters and slogans in their hands, blowing the huge flags, making everyone squint their eyes.

Although Advocaat said before the game that this is an ordinary league, he also said so when he was interviewed by reporters. But Nalchik Sparta certainly did not believe that this game would really be a regular league.

As long as Chen Yingxiong is around, it is absolutely impossible to become ordinary!

Of course, Nalchik Sparta is not reconciled to being the background of Zenit and Chen Yingxiong in this game. Who wants to be mentioned in the future but be the unlucky guy who picked up the ball from the goal countless times in the farewell match of a striker?

So this game is an atypical league that is not ordinary at all. Nalchik Sparta knew that Chen Yingxiong wanted to score goals, so their task was not to win at all, but to... contain Chen Yingxiong and prevent him from scoring goals. They don't care about the glory of Russian football, they just don't want to be a foil.

It can be seen that they are working very hard to do this. Tactics, staffing, formation... are all set around the core goal of how to prevent Chen Yingxiong from scoring.

For the first thirty-four minutes they were successful.

They didn't let Chen Yingxiong score a goal, and they didn't let Zenit score a goal.

So every time they had the ball, there was a loud booing from the stands. Zenit fans were very dissatisfied with them, thinking that they were very illiterate. This game is obviously a game where we see off Chen Yingxiong. How can you disrupt the situation?

Just like Bryan Kobe in Jordan's last All-Star Game, very "disgracefully" lore Jordan and won the game...

Chen Yingxiong also worked very hard during these 34 minutes, but unfortunately every time he faced at least two opponents, the opponents would stop him at all costs, even if it was a foul.

He will be surrounded in the penalty area, and when he is pulled outside the penalty area, everyone knows that he is going to shoot from a long distance, then the midfielder and central defender will continue to entangle him, not giving him an easy chance to shoot.

What if he plays post up? One person can't carry him, two people can do it, right?

In short, no matter what strategy Chen Yingxiong adopts, he will encounter the opponent's stalking.

In fact, the pinching of two people is nothing. A player with good foot skills can use his foot skills to pick the football out in the face of three people's pressing.

Chen Yingxiong obviously doesn't have such ability now, and his desire to strengthen the technique under his feet is even stronger.

Although Chen Yingxiong encountered the opponent's strict defense, and even defended at all costs, the Zenit players still stubbornly passed the football to him again and again.

This is indeed an atypical league game... The away team completely disregarded the outcome of the game, and only focused on preventing Chen Yingxiong from scoring. And the home team completely disregarded the team's performance, and tried every means to let Chen Yingxiong score.

It's not that they have no chance to score. They can distribute the football to other teammates in better positions, but they didn't do so.

For them in this game, there is only one task, which is to help Chen Yingxiong lock the top scorer in the league. They want to create an almost impossible miracle-become the top scorer in the league after 11 rounds!

Of course, Chen Yingxiong knew what his teammates were thinking. Regarding their kindness, he did not pass the football hypocritically. Every time the football reached his feet, unless there was really no chance, he would definitely end the attack with a shot.

If such an "independent" performance was put aside, the fans would definitely express their dissatisfaction with boos, and the commentator also criticized the player's actions mercilessly.

But right now, you don't hear anything but cheers. Even if Chen Yingxiong kicked the football into the stands, he would only get applause and cheers from the fans. Whether it is Shirgeevsky or Petrov, the commentator acquiesced to this approach of the Zenit team.

This game cannot be viewed with ordinary, ordinary common sense.

Because this is no ordinary league.

This is Chen Yingxiong's game. The other 21 players, the coaching staff of both sides, the fans and the commentator are all part of this stage, but Chen Yingxiong is the only one who plays the leading role on the stage.

The fans just wanted to see Chen Yingxiong score a goal. It wasn't Chen Yingxiong's goal. Even if he scored ten goals, they would not be satisfied.

All the efforts of the Zenit team were aimed at allowing Chen Yingxiong to score, and for this reason they gave up more scoring opportunities.

The only goal of the Nalchi Kparta team is to prevent Chen Yingxiong from scoring, and they will do whatever it takes.

The commentator only had Chen Yingxiong's name in his mouth.

"Chen Yingxiong shot!"

"Chen Yingxiong headed the ball!"

"The hero jumped up!"

"Ah, ah, almost! Almost, just a little bit! What a pity for a hero!"

And what about our protagonist?

He was staring at the goal of Nalchik Sparta, he was very hungry, and one ball could not satisfy him, and I am afraid that two balls would not work. Thirty-four minutes of his time were wasted by Nalchi Kparta's tenacious resistance. He wants to get it back twice in the next game!

This kind of futile stop will only make the giant bear more angry, and it is absolutely impossible for him to let it go!
