Chapter 14 At a historic moment, the hero appears! ()

Although he wanted to score a goal in the last game and performed in front of the first-team coach, Chen Yingxiong did not start the game in this game, but sat on the bench. Popovich doesn't intend to give him too much time. He and his teammates are not in good agreement with each other. If there is too much time, he is afraid of opening up. Simply arrange for him to appear in the final stage of the game.

Chen Yingxiong was a little disappointed, but he was still on the bench, cheering for the eleven starting teammates on the field with his teammates.

Head coach Ed Wocart and assistant coach Porter stood beside Popovich, watching the game on the court.

If you don't say anything, no one knows that they came to see Chen Yingxiong specifically.

The media focused their attention on these two big figures, and did not pay attention to the addition of a newcomer with black hair and yellow skin on the bench of Zenit...

After the game started, the stands were also very lively. Although the audience was definitely not large compared with the real Super League, there were still people singing and cheering. After the Zenit youth team played a beautiful offense, there will be a burst of warm applause. It's like that.

Chen Yingxiong didn't know that many of them were the family and friends of Zenit youth players on the field, so they were so enthusiastic.

Although Tomsk is a guest, but the strength is not weak, they are very active in the game.

Both sides are young players, they have less tactical strategies, they are hardworking, and both want to show themselves in the game.

Especially the Zenit players, Popovich has told them that the two people on the sidelines are the head coach and assistant coach of the first team. This is undoubtedly exciting that they intend to perform desperately in the game.

Especially the forward Pavel Komolov (Pavel Komolov), very positive. He has played eleven times in the youth league, four of which have come off the bench, scoring a total of eight goals for the team. Is the team's leading scorer.

He feels that the youth team is no longer what he is pursuing. He should go to the first team.

Today the head coach and assistant coach are on the sidelines, that’s my chance...

But it's a pity that there is such a weird phenomenon in football games-the more you want to exert strength, the less you can do it. The more Komolov wanted to score a goal, the more goals he missed.

In the twenty-first minute, he got a great single-handed opportunity. But although the football he shot bypassed the goalkeeper, it also bypassed the goal and flew directly out of the baseline!

Many Zenit fans in the stands held their heads in pity.

Komolov himself was also a pity.

Although Komolov wasted such a good opportunity, it was Zenit St. Petersburg youth team that advanced the ball. In the 33rd minute, they were led by another striker, George Mozgovoy, who scored a goal!

After Mozgovoi scored, the people on Zenit's bench stood up, applauded and cheered for his teammates, including Chen Yingxiong.

The Tomsk youth team equalized before the end of the first half, and their No. 7 player used a direct free kick to score.

For the youth team’s away game, no fans will follow the team to watch the game away. So after they scored, there was only a sigh of regret for Zenit in the stands. The cheers all came from the Tomsk youth team's bench and the players on the field.

Ed Wocart is still very interested in such a game. In addition to watching Chen Yingxiong, he also wants to see what players are available in the Zenit St. Petersburg youth team. As the head coach of the first team, the youth team also needs to understand. of. This is considered qualified.

He knows that the Zenit youth team is now ranked first in the Russian Under-18 Youth League group, but that doesn't mean much. A head coach will not easily believe those, but he still has to see with his own eyes to know how strong the team is.

Judging from the games that have been played, the level of the Zenit youth team is pretty good, at least much better than he thought. But... there are no outstanding players. It can be seen that these guys are working hard and want to show themselves in front of them. I don't know if they are too nervous and excited, or because of their strength...

Assistant coach Porter looked a little impatient. He frequently looked at his watch: "When will the Chinese big man appear?"

Ed Wocart shook his head: "I'm afraid Popovich has the final say. He is the director of youth training."

"Looking at the body is really strong, and the height is good... But you know, there are a lot of guys of that kind, Dick." Potter looked at Chen Yingxiong's back and commented.

Ed Wocart is not sure whether: "So we need to be tested in actual combat."

Chen Yingxiong's playing time is definitely not much. Seeing Popovich like this, he intends to give him time to play until the end... What can this little time show?

He didn't understand.

If Popovich wants Hero Chen to show his strength, shouldn't he be given more playing time? So what are you doing at the end of the game? Could it be said that this person is not strong enough, so in order to avoid making a fool of himself, he is only given so much time?

Why do you want to buy if you are not strong enough? Could this person be the brother-in-law of the former assistant coach Borovicia?

Ed Wocart has too many questions in his heart now, but he hasn't shown it.

He was still standing on the sidelines, just for one thing, to see Chen Yingxiong on the court, and then observe his performance at close range, to see if he is worth the sign of Zenit.

Assistant coach Porter waited impatiently, and Chen Yingxiong also had to wait anxiously.

At the sixtieth minute, I finally heard Popovich's instructions to get him up to warm up!

He jumped up from his seat, hulled up and stood up abruptly, his height of 1.92 meters was fully revealed, and everyone next to him was taken aback.

Those reporters who were originally going for Ed Wocart also noticed at this time that there was such a strange face hidden on the bench of the Zenit youth team.

Except for the goalkeeper, these local St. Petersburg media do not remember that Zenit has a player with a height of more than 1.9 meters.

"Look! Who is that?"

"A... Oriental?"

"Oh my God! When did Zenit bring in an Oriental?"

"Korean or Japanese?"

"I haven't seen such a guy in the Zenit youth team in the last game..."

The reporters started talking in surprise.

It’s no wonder that they are making a fuss. Chen Yingxiong’s signing with the club is a trivial matter. He is not a star player, nor a young genius who has high hopes for his youth and fame. He is a member of the team through self-promotion Ordinary players. The St. Petersburg Nizenit Club did not publicize the matter. It is not even mentioned on its official website. So even the most **** Zenit supporter, unless he goes to the youth team's training court in person, he may know that there is such a guy in the youth team.

Some reporters immediately took action, planning to run to Chen Yingxiong, interview him, and learn about his origins-this mysterious oriental man aroused their curiosity.

The club secretly completed a contract so that reporters who thought they had a good relationship with the club were a little upset.

But they were all stopped by Popovich.

"Sorry, gentlemen. It's still in the game now! If you have any questions, wait until the game is over..."

The commotion also attracted the attention of Zenit players. The teammates who were also sitting on the bench looked at Chen Yingxiong and muttered: "Why don't I have a reporter to interview?"

The teammate next to him patted his head: "If you are a big man with black hair and yellow skin, I think some media will be interested in you too!"

Chen Yingxiong warmed up in the narrow warm-up area on the sidelines, where he had his teammates and opponents' players. Everyone huddled together and did the most basic warm-up-running back and forth, pressing the leg, waist exercise...

Of course, all his thoughts are on the court, he knows that he is about to play, and let him go up to solve the battle. The score between the two sides is still 1:1, and the scene is stalemate. At this time, a strong center is needed to solve the problem! what!

He was doing his best to warm up while waiting for a call from the coaching bench.

At the 73rd minute of the game, Chen Yingxiong was finally called back.

Popovich raised his head and looked at Chen Yingxiong who was one head taller than him: "Remember what you did during the test before you came to this team?"

Hero Chen nodded.

"My request is very simple-just do it!" He patted Chen Yingxiong's back hard and pushed him to the sidelines. At the same time, a referee on the sidelines has raised a sign for substitution.

Chen Yingxiong, who wears a number as big as No. 33, is about to replace Komolov.

The football flew out of the sideline, the ball was dead, and provided a chance for substitutions.

Komolov walked down a little dejected. He was very active in this game, but he always missed the goal. For forwards, not scoring a goal means defeat. There are many standards to measure players in other positions, but one standard is to measure the performance of forwards, and Henggu will not change-scoring goals.

You can score a goal, you are a good striker, you can't score a goal, you are a waste. Even if you assist 35 times in a season, the media and coaches will tell you: Your suitable position is not a striker, but a midfielder...

Komolov and Chen Yingxiong slapped them perfunctorily, and passed Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong jumped on the sidelines, took a deep breath, and then murmured: "This is a historic moment! The hero is here!"

There is no TV broadcast of the youth team game, and no live commentary, so Chen Yingxiong himself added such a commentary...

After speaking, he straightened his chest and ran into the field.
