Chapter 21 Korean? Chinese people!

For Chen Tao, the first team means that his son is promising, and for Chen Yingxiong it means more.

Chen Yingxiong is full of longing for the life of adjusting to the first team. Here he will get the opportunity to participate in the professional league. He has the opportunity to score and celebrate in front of tens of thousands of live audiences and millions of TV viewers...

He will become a well-known celebrity, get more lucrative signing contracts, and get a lot of advertising endorsement opportunities. Of course... it is indispensable that the blondes take the initiative to post upside down, enthusiastic, and then he half pushes and half...

Of course, these are his visions, and what he needs to do now is...meet with his teammates on the first team.

Assistant coach Porter took Chen Yingxiong to the locker room, handed him over to team captain Vladislav Radimov (vladislav radimov) and left.

The captain is responsible for introducing the new player to his teammates.

The internationalization of Zenit's first team is indeed much better than that of the youth team. There are players from all over the world. They speak different accents and they have rich experience.

For example, the team captain Radimov.

The former Russian star of hope, made his debut at the Simina Football School in St. Petersburg and played successively for CSKA Moscow, Zaragoza, Dynamo Moscow, Levsky Sofia, Samara Soviet Wings, and finally Back to Zenit St. Petersburg.

He used to be a member of the Soviet Under-16 Youth Team and the Under-18 Youth Team, and later became a member of the Russian Under-21 Youth Team. He represented Russia in the 1996 European Championship and performed well. Then he moved to the La Liga team Zaragoza.

However, his performance in Zaragoza was terrible. After a period of bleak years, he went to the Bulgarian League.

Although Radimov has been to three countries, he does not speak English. It is troublesome to communicate with two people around without an interpreter.

Radimov, who was 1.82 meters tall, had to look up at Chen Yingxiong.

A man with an oriental face, he thought to himself that this must be the teammate of the three Koreans-this new head coach really likes the Koreans. He just took office and brought four in one breath!

If Chen Yingxiong knew what he was thinking, he would definitely... "You are Korean! Your whole family is Korean!"

As a Chinese who doesn’t know anything, it’s normal to have such a reaction...

Radimov asked him in Russian: "Do you speak Russian, young man?"

Chen Yingxiong thought for a long time, and then replied in a very unskilled Russian: "I only have a little bit, I just started to learn..." Although Ye Sening's teaching method is very interesting, Chen Yingxiong also feels that he has made rapid progress, but still Not so fast that he could immediately chat with his teammates in fluent Russian.

Seeing his painful expression in Russian, Radymov knew that this kid hadn’t gotten started yet. He thought it would be better to hand him over to the three Koreans, and let them introduce him to him. They were also transferred this summer, but at least they have been here for three weeks...

So he took Chen Yingxiong to the Korean player Li Hao who was changing his clothes, and said to him: "Lee, your compatriot, newcomer, you can introduce it..."

Li Hao was very happy to hear that another Korean player has come to the team. The Korean Gang has a growing trend!

He turned his head and saw a strange face...

As a player of the South Korean national team, he knows all the South Korean countries, but this person is very strange.

He thought that maybe it was from the domestic league. Judging from his appearance, he was quite young, maybe he was still a kid...

Since he is his younger generation, he should be greeted by the younger opponent first-as a rising star in Korea, Li Hao doesn't believe that a Korean player who plays football doesn't know him. So there is no need to introduce yourself, the other party should bow to him and say hello.

So he looked at Chen Yingxiong and didn't say a word.

Chen Yingxiong knows that there are several Korean players in Zenit St Petersburg, but he can't tell who is who. Koreans look the same regardless of men and women...

He thought the captain Radimov was introducing him to this new teammate, waiting for the new teammate to greet him.

And Radimov waited for Li Hao to take over his task...

The three people stood in a circle like this, you look at me, and I look at you. For about half a minute, no one spoke.

The other people in the locker room were very curious when they saw the captain lead a big man in. They kept staring at Chen Yingxiong. They didn't even think of walking in front of Li Hao. After Radimov said a word, three Individuals seem to be frozen, without saying a word, looking at each other.

The locker room suddenly became quiet, and no one knew what had happened. The people who were still talking also shut up and turned to look at these three people.

This strange silence lasted a long time.

Until Chen Yingxiong broke the quietness, he asked in English: "What's wrong?"

Radimov could not understand English, nor could Li Hao.

Li Hao also felt strange, and when he was anxious, he asked the captain in Korean: "Who is he?"

Neither Radymov nor Chen Yingxiong understood Korean, so Radymov asked Li Hao in Russian: "Don't you know?"

Two other Korean players, Kim Dong-jin and Hyun Young-min, also got together. Unfortunately, neither of them speaks Russian, so they can only ask Li Hao in Korean: "What's the matter?"

Li Hao shook his head and frowned: "I don't know..."

The Russian players surrounded Radimov and asked him what happened.

"I don't know, I asked Li to introduce the team to his compatriots..." Radimov pointed to Li Hao and then to Chen Yingxiong.

"Are you Korean again?" the team's right back, Alexandr Anyukov, exclaimed. After he shouted, he realized that he shouldn't say this in front of the Korean teammates, so he hurriedly looked at the three Koreans and found that they hadn't noticed him, and he was relieved.

"Isn't it? The coach really likes Korean players... I think if this continues, we have to change our name to Seoul Zenit?" It is obvious that Anyukov is not the only one who thinks there are too many Koreans in the team.

Of course, Radimov must focus on the unity of the team. He stopped his men from talking like this. Instead, he asked: "Stop arguing, the question now is... how do we communicate with them?"

"Does he speak English?" It was the team's Norwegian central defender Eric Hagen (erik Hagen) who asked. He moved to Zenit from Norway last season and speaks English.

Radimov looked at him as if he had seen a savior—"Ask him!"

Hagen used to say to Chen Yingxiong, "Hi, hello." He spoke in English.

After the weird silence in the dressing room, there was a tumult again. During the whole process, Chen Yingxiong didn't know what had happened. He could only stand alone in the dressing room, at a loss, his ears were full of unfamiliar language.

Hearing all those people talking, but he didn't know what they were talking about, a sense of estrangement was forming. Chen Yingxiong swears in his heart that he must find Ye Saining to supplement his Russian language when he goes back!

At this moment he heard Hagen's English!

It feels... as excited as hearing Chinese when eating at "Ruilongju", he nodded quickly: "Hello. Do you speak English?"

Hagen smiled. It's easy for this kid to speak English, at least he can communicate...

He patted Chen Yingxiong on the shoulder to show his friendship, and then he asked, "Are you a Korean?"

"Huh?" Chen Yingxiong was taken aback for a moment.

There was a huge laughter in Zenit's dressing room.

Everyone is amused by what happened just now.

Radimov also laughed. He used Hagen as an interpreter to apologize to Chen Yingxiong. "I'm sorry, because there are already three Korean teammates in the team, so I think it is Korean when I see the face of Dongfang..."

And Li Hao looked dumbfounded—he was not happy when he was confused by the Chinese and Koreans. As the leader of the younger generation of Korean football, he can't look down on Chinese players. For more than two decades, the Chinese team has been victorious every time South Korea has made South Korean players full of pride when facing Chinese players. How could the captain confuse himself with the Chinese? The difference is obvious...

Chen Yingxiong was indeed angry when he knew that he was considered a Korean at first, but Radimov had to apologize so sincerely that he could not but accept it. He doesn't know Li Hao's mind, but his mind is the same as Li Hao-how can he confuse Chinese and Korean? Korean eyes are so small...

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Hagen took Chen Yingxiong to familiarize himself with his teammates.

Hagen introduced him one by one.

This is goalkeeper Kamil Contofalsky, this is goalkeeper Vyacheslav Malafeev, this is defender Pavel Mares ), the height of you is the central defender Martin Skrtel (martin skrtel), that person is Alexandre Anyukov... Of course, no one can miss this person. , He is the number one star of our team, and he was given the nickname "The New Tsar" Andrey Arshavin (andrey Arshavin)!

Actually, Chen Yingxiong didn't know how powerful Arshavin was, but after seeing Arshavin's appearance, he thought this kid was about the same age as him. I thought it was amazing to be called the "new czar" at such a young age!

His teammates all welcomed his arrival, whether it is an old player or a new player.

Only Li Hao’s expression was a bit embarrassing--he thought that Chen Yingxiong was his own descendant, and he was waiting for Chen Yingxiong to say hello to himself. How could he expect the news that the other party was Chinese...

There was nothing embarrassing about Chen Yingxiong. Anyway, he proved that he was not a Korean, but a Chinese.

Finally, the team leader Radimov introduced the origin of Chen Yingxiong to everyone-"He was selected from the youth team. I hope everyone can help him!"

Some people are very interested in Chen Yingxiong, while others appear absent-minded.

There are many players transferred from the youth team, but unfortunately they couldn't stay for too long, so they went to the reserve team. Who knows how long this big man can last in the first team?

Maybe the reserve team is his final destination.

People who are interested in Chen Yingxiong are because of his size.

He looks even taller than the two tallest guys in the team, Martin Scott and goalkeeper Camille Contefalk...

Martin Scott used Hagen as an interpreter and asked Hero Chen: "How tall are you, Chen?"

Chen Yingxiong replied: "1.92 meters."

"Ah, my team's highest record was broken." Scott sighed after hearing this answer, then he patted Chen Yingxiong on the shoulder: "Congratulations, now you are the tallest person in Zenit. Up!"

This is the first time Chen Yingxiong meets with his teammates in the first team.
