Chapter 33 The Appearance Ceremony of the Unknown Soldier

The Kirov Stadium was the third largest stadium in the country in the former Soviet Union. It can accommodate 80,000 people, second only to Luzhniki Lenin Stadium in Moscow and the Republic Stadium in Kiev, Ukraine, two stadiums that can accommodate 100,000 people. Once hosted the football match of the 22nd Olympic Games in 1980.

But it is clear that this historic stadium no longer meets the requirements of the Zenit team.

Since the end of last year, Gazprom entered the Zenit St. Petersburg club and built a new stadium worthy of Zenit. Such an issue has been put on the agenda.

Finally, it was decided to demolish the Kirov Stadium after this season, and then build a new stadium on the original site-the Gazprom Arena.

So for the fans of Zenit St. Petersburg, the 2006 season will be the last season for Kirov Stadium to serve Zenit. After a few seasons, she will be reborn in Nirvana, with a brand-new attitude, and more beautiful. A more magnificent image appeared in front of the world and became Zenit's home court again.

Chen Yingxiong stood in the passage leading from the locker room to the stadium, with his teammates, who were about to play. Next to them are their opponents-the players from Nalchik Sparta, who are wearing red away jerseys.

Zenit, who played at home, wore their white home jersey.

This is Chen Yingxiong’s first official professional league in his life. He feels that his heartbeat is speeding up, but this is not nervousness, but excitement... He can't stand honestly, listening to the various songs of Russian fans outside. And the noise, he kept shaking his body, sometimes jumping up, sometimes taking two steps.

"Don't be nervous, hero. It's no big deal, it's just an ordinary league." Eric Hagen calmed Chen Yingxiong in English.

"Thank you, Eric." Chen Yingxiong thanked him, "but I am not nervous, I am excited!"

When the stadium announcement sounded: "Let's welcome Zenit boys!"

"Blue, white and blue! Blue, white and blue!"

A huge cheer followed from the stands. Blue, white and blue is one of Zenit's nicknames.

At this time, the team captain Radimov yelled at his teammates: "Here we are!"

Chen Yingxiong's body, which had been constantly moving, stopped, and he suddenly became quiet.

When Aleksand Krzakov, who was in front of him, started to walk, Chen Yingxiong followed closely behind him and set foot on the road to the stadium.

This is not only the road to Kirov Stadium, it is also the road to professional football, and it is also the road to my hero Chen to become a green hero! It is a glorious road! !

Dad, look at it, your son will never embarrass you! Never shame your name!

When Chen Yingxiong walked out of the tunnel, he was shown a close-up on TV.

The narrator was stunned when he saw Chen Yingxiong's face.

Although he got the starting list an hour before the start of the game, he didn't notice that there was an Oriental in addition to those Koreans!

Because "hero·chen" is written on the registration list of Chen Yingxiong, not "yingxiong·chen".

"This is..." The commentator hurriedly searched for information about this person in the messy commentary booth, but he found nothing! His colleague who specializes in data collection at the TV station did not prepare him information about this player! He cursed him a hundred times at the same time in his heart, but now he can only find a way to save the field. "...An Oriental! What a surprise! When did Zenit add another Oriental player? We know that Ed Wocart seems to particularly favor Korean players. After he coached Zenit, he brought the team in one breath. Three Korean players...could this be the fourth one?"

If Chen Yingxiong could hear the commentator’s question, he would definitely point to his nose and yell: "You are Korean! Your whole family is Korean!"

But this time he patronized and looked up at the stadium-the stadium that can accommodate 80,000 people is indeed spectacular!

In fact, there are many such big stadiums in China, but Chen Yingxiong did not have the opportunity to play. Youth team games are generally held in some district-level stadiums, which can hold three to four thousand people at most. Sometimes they have to go to the university football field to play.

The live broadcast called out the names of Zenit's players one by one.

You can clearly hear who is the most popular here.

"Andre--" the announcer of the live broadcast shouted.

"——Arshavin!!!" The fans on the scene answered loudly. After shouting, they began to shout Arshavin's nickname: "Shava! Shava! Shava!!!"

Chen Yingxiong heard Arshavin’s name, he counted, and found that Arshavin was third in front of him, that is to say, it was his turn for two more people. He began to divert his attention from the stands and raised his ears. Prepare to hear your own name.

"Li Hao!" Li Hao followed Arshavin.

"Oh!" The cheers of the fans were not loud.

"Alexander Krzakov!!!"

"Ula!!!" The cheers were obviously much bigger than Li Hao, and from this we can also see the status of a player in the minds of fans.

It's coming, it's coming, it's coming... Chen Yingxiong is looking forward to it in his heart, waiting for a historic moment here! Everyone cheers--

"Hero·chen!" Even the sound of the broadcast was obviously smaller.

"..."

It's quiet...

No, that’s not fair to Hero Chen. There was still a small cheer when the name was just halfway out in the stands, but it quickly disappeared-this cheer is actually inertia, when the fans When they soon discovered that the name was very unfamiliar, they were all stunned.

Who is this "hero·chen"?

Everyone looked at each other.

Before they could react, the name of the next person was reported on the live broadcast: "Eric Hagen!!"

"Ooo!!" This time, the cheers returned. This contrast and contrast is as if the audience was stuck together when they said the name of Chen Yingxiong just now...When they returned to normal, it was already someone else's turn to play.

Chen Yingxiong stood in the team with a depressed look. He didn't expect that his historic appearance would be the result-tens of thousands of people in the stands didn't even know him!

Yesenin, who was sitting in the auditorium behind Zenit's coaching stand, laughed. This was something he had guessed a long time ago, but he never told Chen Yingxiong.

How could an unknown man who was only promoted from the youth team have not been in the youth team for long? How could he make a deep impression? Isn’t it normal for no one to know your name, hero?

Although Chen Yingxiong had two outstanding performances in the youth team, for the vast majority of fans, he is still a pink and tender rookie, a true unknown. Since Popovich is very well protected, everyone doesn't even know his name. Even if he scored a few goals in the youth team, so what?

For real professional football, you are a complete rookie, hero.

Chen Yingxiong clenched his fist-he was unwilling to do this, he would not have other performances, that is, clenching his fist tightly, so that the greater the strength, the tighter the clenched, the whiter the knuckles, which means that he is less Willingly.

Oh shit!

Chen Yingxiong reacted. He had been a meaningless fantasy before, and he was a real nameless man! Not only in Zenit St. Petersburg, in the entire Russian Super League, in the entire world of professional football, he is an insignificant unknown person!

What cheers? What is welcome? What narrator's passionate introduction? What kind of beauty like a cloud takes the initiative... It's all her own obscenity!

However, you are waiting... the world is waiting for me, and I will let all of you know my name! I will let the whole world know my name! Even if you are bored, you will still hear and see my name!

I am Hero Chen, and I am Chen who will be a hero of the green! Ying! male!

The narrator Vasily Hilgeyevski, who was broadcasting to the TV screen in the broadcast room of the TV station, turned off the microphone, and then shouted to his colleagues outside the broadcast room through the headset: "Give me the hero information! I don't **** know who he is!"

"Vasily, there is no more information. Our information is officially provided by Zenit Club. We only know his name, height and weight, birthday, location, and number... We can't get this from other sources. More information about people!" The director explained to Hilgievsky through headphones.

"Then you should at least tell me which country he is from? Is it Korean?"

"Huh, didn't you give it to you?"

"I swear not!"

"Uh, I'm looking for...have! He is...er, Chinese?!" The director was very surprised.

Hilgeyevsky was also taken aback: "Chinese player? When did Zenit introduce a Chinese player?"

The director who was standing outside the soundproof window couldn't take much care of it. He made a motion to unscrew the microphone at Hirgeevsky: "Work, work, Vasily! The game is about to begin."

Even if Vasily Hilgeyevsky had more doubts at this time, he could only force it down and continue his interpretation work.

"We have already seen that the captains of the two sides exchanged flags, and they also finished picking sides... Zenit St. Petersburg kicked off, and now the game is about to begin. We have also noticed... Ed Volkart has started the game. A very unfamiliar young player. After Tektronix was injured, the young man born on May 25, 1988 played in the game as a starting forward... He is... well, 1.92 meters! According to the information we have before the game, he is 1.92 meters tall and 93 kilograms in weight. He is really a behemoth... More importantly, audience friends, when you see his oriental characteristics , You must think this must be the fourth Korean player brought by the Dutchman, right? Wrong! You are all wrong! He is a Chinese!"

Hilgeyevsky didn’t know what he was talking about anyway, he introduced the only little information about this kid, and then he planned to just call the player’s name "hero" in the next game. , And will not introduce a little more about his other situation.

"Well, the referee blew the whistle, and the game started!"

In the middle of the stadium, Chen Yingxiong stepped on the football. He heard the whistle and knew that the game had started.

So he nudged the football and gave it to his striker partner Krzakov. Krzakov turned and passed the football back and ran forward.

The game has started!
