Chapter 41 Mission completed!

Someone has heard of playing away games in their domestic leagues, do they need jet lag?

In this magical land of Russia, this all happened.

Although Chen Yingxiong and his teammates were not sleepy, all the players stayed in their rooms honestly and slept as required under the supervision of head coach Ed Wocart and assistant coach Porter.

Denisov turned over on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. The quilt on the hotel bed was a bit hard and rough, and when he turned over, he would make a clear rustle.

He has slept on the plane so long that he is not sleepy at all now.

The team arrived in Vladivostok after four in the afternoon. After arriving, the team went to the hotel to put their luggage and rushed to the dinamo stadium (dinamo) for training to adapt to the venue. At the same time, in order to adjust the time difference and status of the players.

After all, there is a seven-hour time difference between Vladivostok and St. Petersburg...

St. Petersburg is almost the westernmost point of Russia, on the brink of the Baltic Sea. Vladivostok is in the Far East of Russia, at the eastern end of the Asian continent. The distance between these two cities is as if they are in two different countries.

When he came to this place, Chen Yingxiong realized that this place should be called Vladivostok. It was once a Chinese territory but was later seized by Russia. Speaking of the hatred between Russia and China, there is still a lot of it, but it is all a matter of history, and it has nothing to do with him.

Chen Yingxiong was just a football player. He played football from childhood to university, and he didn't know anything about politics or history.

But he also strongly hoped that China did not lose Vladivostok back then, because then he would not have to follow the team to fly here to play away games today, and was laughed at by the team.

All Zenit players survived their first night in Vladivostok between half asleep and half awake. When having breakfast in the hotel restaurant the next day, everyone yawned when they met and said hello.

"Hello—huh—"

"Morning—he—good—ah!"

"I really want to keep sleeping..." Denisov put his hand on his cheek, his head bit by bit. On the table below is his breakfast, and the tip of his nose is constantly moving back and forth a few centimeters above the breakfast.

But it is impossible for him to go back to bed and go to sleep. Because today is Friday, it is their last training opportunity before the game.

In the afternoon they were allowed to use Dynamo Stadium for two hours of training.

The reason why I chose to fly to Vladivostok overnight on Wednesday night is because from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok, there are only regular flights on Wednesday and Saturday during daylight saving time. So after they finished the game on Saturday afternoon, they had to rush to the airport directly, take the night plane back to St. Petersburg, fly again for 13 hours, across seven time zones, and continue to reverse the jet lag after returning...

This kind of tossing back and forth really makes many people feel uncomfortable.

The Vladivostok light energy team (fcluchenergiyavladivostok) can rank in the middle of the Russian Super League. Chen Yingxiong feels that the home court in this geographical location must have helped a lot...

The home stadium of the Vladivostok Solar Team is called Dynamo Stadium. In Russia, this name is very common. Only well-known in Europe are Dynamo Moscow and Dynamo Kyiv. In the former Soviet Union, the police team was basically called Dynamo. So Dynamo is very common in sports.

The Dynamo Stadium of the Light Energy team can only accommodate more than 10,000 people and is a very small stadium. It is much smaller than the Kirov Stadium, which can hold 80,000 people.

However, Chen Yingxiong has played in smaller stadiums than this, so he didn't think there was anything in it.

Yesterday the whole team came to the Dynamo Stadium for training to adapt to the field, and today they continue to train on this field. The quality of the turf on the site is not very good.

Although the sponsor of the Light Energy team is luch, Russia's largest independent oil production company, the stadium does not quite match the strength of this company.

It’s like Zenit St. Petersburg, when it won the sponsorship of Russia’s largest industrial group "Gazprom", it was about to start construction of a new stadium.

Of course, a small team in a remote area like this cannot be compared with a big team in the "Northern Capital". Moreover, Zenit’s number one fan is now the first deputy prime minister of the Russian government Dmitry Ana. Tolievich Medvedev. In addition, it is said that a Zenit high-ranking official fan club composed of the head of the Federal Security Service Patrushev, the speaker of the lower house of parliament Gryzlov, and the minister of defense Serdyukov have been established in Moscow.

Senior Russian officials have the habit of supporting football. Although the current President Putin is also from St. Petersburg, he is not supporting his hometown team. According to internal rumors in the Kremlin, President Putin is not cold about Dynamo Moscow, which the government has been hiding, but has a good impression of the CSKA. As a result, during his administration, CSKA Moscow won the UEFA Cup in the summer of 2005 and became the first team in Russian football history to win the honor of a European club competition.

This beautiful talk is fascinating-now everywhere is building momentum, Putin also openly supports his partner and friend Medvedev to run for president. If this is true, then Medvedev will have no opponents. Once he becomes the leader of the Russian polar bear, will Zenit St. Petersburg, which he loves, take off like CSKA Moscow?

When Zenit was training at Dynamo Stadium, three people were sitting in the shadow of the stands. They are the head coach of the Sun Energy team Sergey Pavlov (shergey Pavlov) and two assistant coaches Yury Shishlov (yury lost shlov) and Yury Saukh (yury·saukh) .

"That big man was No. 99 who scored in the game against Nalchik Sparta?" The fifty-year-old coach Sergey Pavlov turned his head and asked his two assistants.

The assistant coach Yuri Shishlov, who specializes in collecting and analyzing opponent data, nodded.

"In terms of size...it should be him."

"But..." Pavlov said, frowning. "From the training point of this period, his level is very average?"

In fact, as long as he does not conduct header training, Chen Yingxiong's performance makes people feel that he is completely unworthy of the first team of Zenit St. Petersburg. Fortunately, his teammates are used to it. Everyone knows that Ed Wo Carter hired this person in, maybe it was for his header.

But outsiders don’t know. So anyone who hasn’t seen Chen Yingxiong’s ability to head the ball in training will be puzzled. Is it true that Zenit St. Petersburg is really because Gazprom has so much money and there is nowhere to spend it, so look for some rookies like this. Wasting salary?

"Are there any videos of Zenit St. Petersburg playing?"

Shishlov shook his head: "There was no national broadcast of that game, so I'm sorry...no."

Pavlov watched for another ten minutes, then stood up: "I don't think there is any need to continue watching. Zenit's most threatening is Arshavin and Radimov, oh, and the Krzako The husband also needs to pay special attention. As for the 99..." Pavlov shook his head, he felt it was too mediocre.

The technical statistics of that game stated that the No. 99 player scored a goal, and the technical statistics should not be wrong. But judging from this performance, the No. 99 player should be just lucky... a guy who played for the first team for the first time, because of good luck, so he scored a goal... So it seems that this No. 99 is taller. Marathon, but not to be afraid.

Ed Wocart knew that the home team would definitely observe his team in the stands without having to look, so he didn't conduct any set-kick tactics drills. Unexpectedly, Pavlov, the opponent's coach, misunderstood Chen Yingxiong's ability and thought he was not afraid.

In fact, after knowing that the next round of the league will be a guest in Vladivostok, Ed Wocart adjusted the training plan, moved the set-piece training to Tuesday and Wednesday, and completed it in St. Petersburg. After coming to Vladivostok, the team mainly carried out simple passing and shooting practice. There is no secret to this kind of exercise, and there is no fear of being spied on the military by others.

Although Chen Yingxiong has practiced hard shooting and has made progress, there is still a certain gap between the requirements of a good striker. Naturally, Pavlov looked away.

After finishing the afternoon training, the team took a bus back to the hotel where they were staying. After dinner, Ed Wocart held a tactical meeting.

According to the rules, of course, the starting list must be announced at the meeting. This is the highlight.

When the starting list was announced, Chen Yingxiong was a little nervous and expectant.

When the list was announced, he was as excited as being selected for the starting list for the first time. But this time, he stood up from his seat without forgetting his emotions and yelled "Yeah".

He was once again selected to the starting roster and partnered with Krzakov, a member of the food, drink and fun team, as a forward.

After hearing his name on the starting list, Chen Yingxiong thought to himself-another mission was completed, one step closer to upgrade!

Now Chen Yingxiong is full of energy, just waiting to get a talent point after upgrading, and then he can continue to focus on the talent of "knockdown". The probability of 5 is not high enough. He wants to fill all five points. This requires another level four... Before Chen Yingxiong still felt that the upgrade was very fast, but now he is too slow...

Yesenin did not follow Chen Yingxiong to the away game. His Russian level has improved rapidly now, and he can communicate with his teammates and coaches. He even accepted interviews from reporters, so Yesenin feels that he doesn't need to go to the away game.

Otherwise, Chen Yingxiong will definitely use his laptop to open the website after returning to his room to see his upgrade status.

He found himself addicted-addicted to the system, never tired of it.
