Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter 178 Basic Promotion

When Chen Yingxiong blasted the football into Fiorentina's goal, the few Zenit fans in the stands collectively uttered the sound of "Woo-woo-woo -".

The sound suddenly sounded like a massive boo. It made the commentators of the Italian TV station stunned for a moment-why do Zenit fans boo their scoring heroes?

Only Hiergeevsky knew what the sound was.

There is no live broadcast at the Frankie Stadium that will broadcast air defense alarms, so these Zenit fans imitated the sound of air defense alarms with their own mouths!

They are paying tribute to the team's top scorer in this way! Pay tribute to the super center that is almost omnipotent and always able to bring everyone looking forward to!

"This is an air defense alert dedicated to Hero Chen! It is warning Florence—be careful of the sky above you!"

After the game restarted, Florence experienced a period of panic, which was not long, only about five or six minutes. But the Fiorentina fans feel that it is very long. Every time Zenit attacks, they worry that their team will lose the ball.

Fortunately, they finally made it through this pinpoint time with their team.

Then it was Florence's turn to fight back.

Lost two goals at home and gave the opponent two away goals. This is bad enough. Do you still have to lose the game at home?

Do not! This will never work!

Fiorentina pushed hard and wanted to tie the score as soon as possible. Now there are 30 minutes before the end of the game. It is not that they are hopeless. They even have a chance to complete the reversal and win the game.

Zenit played the trick of shrinking defense very cooperatively, and then waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

Anyway, there is a hero Chen in the frontcourt. As long as the long pass is not ridiculous, the chances of him getting it are great.

Everyone just kick the football forward. If Chen Yingxiong can control it five times out of ten, he will be very successful. Then Arshavin, Hill, Domingos, and Krzakov then plugged in to respond, in a local area and in a short period of time to form a situation of playing more and less, so as to break the goal guarded by Frey.

This is the tactics of Zenit St. Petersburg.

Simple, straightforward, and bold, just like barbarians from the bitter cold land. They are powerful and infinite, but they lack skill.

But in front of their strong bodies, no amount of fancy skills will help...

Fiorentina's counterattack did not help them equalize, but instead allowed them to concede another goal in the 73rd minute. This time it was Anyukov who scored the goal.

Arshavin made a cross from the right. After Chen Yingxiong and Krzakov succeeded in attracting the attention of the Fiorentina defenders in the middle and the front point of the penalty area, the left back Anyukov inserted in the back row inserted into the penalty area and stopped the ball. Volley, the football flew into the goal guarded by Frey from a small angle.

At this moment, the Frankie Stadium, which had been noisy for more than seventy minutes, was silent...

Despair rose to the hearts of Fiorentina fans.

At home 1:3, the opponent has three away goals. For the home and away two-round cup knockout, everyone knows what this means.

What if they evened the score at the end? Three away goals! Even if the opponent returns to their home court, even if they play 2:2 with Fiorentina, they will all advance!

Before the visiting team’s bench, the Zenit St Petersburg players were celebrating the third goal crazily, because they also knew that once the goal was scored, the quarter-finals would basically lose their suspense. They will go to the semi-finals and their opponents It's probably Bayern Munich!

"3:1! Florence is over!" Sergeyevsky roared.

Prandelli angrily threw away the water bottle in his hand after losing the ball, then spread his hands and said to his assistant coach: "This **** game!"

Yes, this is the Italian marshal's summary of this game, very correct!

For his Fiorentina, this is an out-and-out "damn game"!

In the end, Fiorentina lost to Zenit St. Petersburg by a score of 1:3 at their home court.

They took away a victory and scored three away goals. After this game, the local media in Florence were all overwhelmed with grief, thinking that Florence basically has no hope of reaching the semi-finals. Their best result in returning to the European arena is the UEFA Cup quarterfinals...

Fortunately, the team has a good momentum in the league and hopes to qualify for the Champions League next season. This somewhat dilutes the sadness of the team losing.

The Zenit players returned to St. Petersburg happily.

At the airport, they were welcomed by the local media and some fans.

Everyone was happy with the terrible fighting power they showed in the away game.

When Zenit's players appeared at the exit, reporters swarmed up, grabbing their targets and starting "cross-examination".

As the team's number one striker, Chen Yingxiong has naturally attracted much attention. Moreover, he was originally one of the reporters' favorite players, so it is normal to be surrounded by reporters. He scored his seventh goal in this UEFA Cup in this game, and he is also a strong contender for the top scorer in this UEFA Cup. Bayern Munich’s Tony scored Bayern Munich’s only goal in the match between Zenit and Fiorentina not long after the end of the match against Fiorentina, helping his team shook hands with Hutfei at home. with.

He increased his number of goals to eight, and Chen Yingxiong was one goal away from him and ranked second.

But as a 19-year-old player who participated in the UEFA Cup for the first time, it is not easy to have such a performance.

"What is the team's goal?" the reporters asked.

"I don't know!" Chen Yingxiong told the truth, Ed Wo Carter never said what kind of results the team wants to achieve in the UEFA Cup, and their players did not discuss this topic privately. "Anyway, as far as I can go..."

"If you qualify, which opponent would you prefer to face in the semifinals? Bayern Munich or Getafe?"

The reporter himself understood that anyone would be more inclined to choose Getafe, because Getafe is not strong enough. If Zenit St. Petersburg meets Getafe, his hopes of qualifying for the final will be greatly increased. . If you encounter Bayern Munich, the dark horse road may come to an end...

Everyone hopes that Zenit can go as far as possible. Just like Chen Yingxiong said, then entering the finals is the farthest, and there is no destination farther than the finals.

He felt that there was no suspense about this question. A smart person knew which one to choose. But Chen Yingxiong's answer was: "Bayern Munich!"

He answered categorically, even with a little excitement in his tone.

"Huh?" The reporter was stunned for a moment, but didn't respond.

"I want to see what the level of the Champions League team is!" Chen Yingxiong said with a smile, appearing confident. "It's enough to play against a team like this!"

"If it is eliminated..."

Chen Yingxiong's eyes stared: "The game hasn't been played yet, how can you say such frustrating words?"

After finishing speaking, he ignored the reporter who "has the ambition of others to destroy his own prestige", and turned to answer other people's questions.

For the players of Zenit St. Petersburg, these two weeks have been busy, because they have played double matches a week for two consecutive weeks, playing the league on weekends, and playing the UEFA Cup midweek. On April 3rd, they finished their away game in Florence and returned to St. Petersburg. They will leave for Yaroslavl and challenge the home team, Shinnik Yaroslavl. This is a match in the fourth round of the league. .

After playing Yaroslavlsinnik, they returned to St. Petersburg again and waited here for Florence on April 10.

On April 13th, they again played against Soviet Wings at their home court.

But in fact for Zenit's other players, this is nothing. First of all, they feel that they can cope with ease in the domestic league. Secondly, their home game against Fiorentina has lost suspense, and their promotion is a foregone conclusion.

So this should be a very easy one-week double match. Although busy, it is not stressful.

For Chen Yingxiong, that's not the case.

He has pressure and he has motivation.

The goal of the UEFA Cup is to go further, and the goal of the league is to...become the top scorer!

Hero Chen is like setting up two modes, switching back and forth at any time. In the UEFA Cup, he is able to do his job well and has spare power. When he returns to the league, he immediately switches to a full-fire mode.

In the darkness his eyes were glowing with breathtaking red light.

He scored seven goals frantically in three rounds of the league, leading everyone else on the scorer list.

Counting five goals in five UEFA Cup games, he scored twelve goals in eight games, just right. Of course, everyone has reason to expect his performance in the match against Yaroslavl.

"'Can he continue to score goals?' The question is terrible! It should be asked now-how many goals can he score in the game? Goals are as common as breathing for him. The suspense is how many goals he can score, one goal? Two goals? Or three goals? At least two goals in each of the three league games, two scores, one hat trick..."

"The head coach of Yaroslavlsinnik, Sergey Pavlov (shergey pavlov) must be no stranger to Chen Yingxiong. When he was coaching the Vladivostok Solar Energy team, his own ball The team became the victim of the proof of Chen Yingxiong who had just debuted... Now that they meet again, I believe he will definitely not make a mistake in his judgment, haha!"

"Pavlov responded-he said that Chen Yingxiong is a very good shooter, and he also knows how good Chen Yingxiong is in the recent state, so his team will do everything to stop Chen Yingxiong in this game. Score!"

"Does the task of ending Chen Yingxiong's crazy scoring momentum fall on Pavlov's Yaroslavlsinnik!"

This is of course impossible.

This is absolutely wishful thinking.

because……

"Chen-Ying-Xiong!! Here comes! The eighth goal in the league this season!"
