Chapter 63 Goal Shortage? What is a goal shortage?
"...Mr. Gasayev, is your team ready for the weekend game against Zenit?"
"Yes, it's ready. We attach great importance to this game. Zenit is not an opponent who can be dismissed casually..."
On TV, an interview with CSKA Moscow coach Valery Gasayev is being broadcast.
The CSKA Moscow vs. Zenit St. Petersburg match has been confirmed as a national live broadcast, and this match has attracted much attention.
There are more and more news programs about the two teams before the game, and the atmosphere of a battle is coming gradually becomes obvious.
"Excuse me, Mr. Gasayev, have you figured out a way to deal with Chen Yingxiong?" a reporter asked.
Chen Yingxiong, who was calling his father, was also attracted by the words on the TV. He turned his attention to the TV screen.
"I think...it's no secret anymore, right?" Gasayev laughed.
The reporters laughed clearly on the TV.
Laugh at your sister!
Chen Yingxiong cursed in his heart.
But he still said to his father: "...It was cold here in Russia, and there was a snowfall yesterday. I still want to go out to play, but it makes me cold enough..."
The Sichuanese had never seen snow before. The first time Chen Yingxiong saw Xue, he wanted to rush into the wild, but he was frozen and rolled back to the house.
"I also took a lot of photos, the snow scene! It's so beautiful, I tell you Dad, you and mom should come to St. Petersburg for fun... Oh, it’s not cold or cold, so I went out to chill. The house has heating and air conditioning. Yes, what's the cold? Oh, yes, Dad. We will have the league again tomorrow. Guess who the opponent is this time?"
While preparing to close the store, Chen Tao talked with his son on the phone.
"Oh, come on! Which one is it?"
"CSKA Moscow! Hehe!" Chen Yingxiong laughed excitedly.
Chen Tao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Do you still remember it?"
"Why don't you remember? Of course you must remember! I told you Dad, I still remember the account, and finally I found a chance to count it."
"Ahem..." Chen Tao coughed. "You..."
"You can rest assured Dad, revenge is limited to football."
Chen Tao has nothing to say.
After Chen Yingxiong turned off the phone, he continued to stare at the TV screen.
Now appearing is Zenit’s head coach Ed Wocart. This news program shows the press conference before the game in the afternoon.
The topic still revolves around Chen Yingxiong.
Why did he suddenly rise and fall silent before, which made the media very interested?
"Now many teams have claimed that they have found a way to deal with heroes. What is your opinion on this?"
"No idea." Ed Wocart said, shaking his head.
"So will you still put the hero on the starting roster? Tek has made a quick comeback. Will he play in tomorrow's game?"
"I will not disclose the team's starting roster." Ed Wo Carter is very careful not to let others get information. "You will get this list an hour before the game."
His answer, of course, disappointed the reporters.
Chen Yingxiong smiled.
Just now Edvard Carter has announced the team's starting roster, just as Edvard Carter promised him before, his name is impressively listed, and Tektronix is on the bench.
There is no suspense about this problem now.
That instructor of the CSKA, wait for Lao Tzu!
These days, more and more reporters have come to the training ground, even far ahead of the previous match between Zenit and Sparta Moscow.
CSKA Moscow currently ranks first in the league and is very likely to win the league championship. And Zenit St. Petersburg has star players like Arshavin.
The duel between the two sides will of course be very eye-catching.
Chen Yingxiong was also interviewed by the media-although he slapped the St. Petersburg media in public before in the game, they soon "reconciled". Chen Yingxiong needs to be famous, and the media likes this player who can always make some noise. Who wants to report on those good gentlemen who go home to accompany their wives and children after training every day?
Of course, these media questions still made Chen Yingxiong very uncomfortable... For example: "Excuse me, hero, will you start the game against CSKA Moscow?"
"You haven't been to a nightclub during this period. Is it related to consecutive non-scoring goals?"
Chen Yingxiong cursed in his heart: I'm forced to go to a nightclub, you say, and if you don't go to a nightclub, you say!
Although he continued not to score goals, Chen Yingxiong was still very tough in front of the media.
He straightened his face: "If I score or not, it has nothing to do with whether I go to a nightclub or not. Nightclubs are my personal hobby in my spare time, and scoring is my job. Can you tell the difference between work time and personal time? ?"
His rhetorical question left the reporters speechless...
Chen Yingxiong had a dream. He dreamed that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't score a goal in a match against CSKA Moscow. He tried a newly learned long shot. As a result, the football went straight to the sky. After a while, the stadium An airplane fell outside...
When he woke up, he still clearly remembered how he felt in his dream-when he realized that the first half was about to end and he had not scored a goal, he was distraught. The fans in the stands are still calling him a "". Unwillingness and anger burned like flames, and eventually swallowed him.
Then he turned into a hellfire full of fire and razed the entire Moscow Dynamo Stadium to the ground!
Then he raised his head and laughed under the flames of the sky: "Don't let me score? I won't let you even play the game! Ahahahaha!"
Below his feet was a crowd screaming and running away, and he looked down at these poor ant-like worms. He looked up to the sky again and laughed.
Then...then he woke up.
"What the **** is this mess..." Chen Yingxiong shook his head.
But when he discovered that the first half was almost over, but he hadn't scored a goal, the mood was so clear and real that it made him feel a little trance after waking up-after all, what was just a dream, Or is it a dream now?
I looked at the watch at the head of the bed, and basically it was time to get up.
Chen Yingxiong was too lazy to sleep, he turned over and got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
This dream was too bad, and he decided to wash it away.
His roommate Denisov was still tossing about on the bed, with a dream or two in his mouth from time to time.
In Moscow, the night is extremely long.
When Chen Yingxiong finished washing and standing in front of the window, the world outside the glass window was still pitch black. You know it's already past eight o'clock by this time-it's eight in the morning, not eight in the evening.
The street lights were still on, lighting up every street, and the buildings in the distance were also lit.
The city is gradually waking up.
Against the background of the lights, Chen Yingxiong found something floating in front of his window.
He climbed up and took a closer look, and found that it was... Snowflakes!
Snowing!
He looked down again... He was saying how the light from the street lamp was so bright, it turned out to be reflected from the snow on the ground!
It is covered with snow, indicating that the time is not short.
Is there a snow fight today?
Chen Yingxiong frowned. Although he has seen snow, he has never played a game in the snow. St. Petersburg is further north than Moscow, and it has already snowed. There have been two snows so far, the second of which is particularly heavy. When the team trains, they can only be carried out in the indoor training ground.
Playing games in such weather is full of unknowns that he didn't know before.
For example, the conditions of the venue, whether too cold will make your limbs stiff...
But he was sure of one thing. That is, even if there is hail in the sky, he must complete his revenge in this game!
The Dynamo Stadium, home of CSKA Moscow, is in front, and it is not clear in the night. Chen Yingxiong saw what he saw during the day yesterday, and he stared in that direction.
I hope they haven't forgotten me.
"...This is the second snow in Moscow this year. It has been falling since last night, and it has been falling until this morning. It looks like this, and it may continue to fall... Today's game was 100% played in the snow... …"
On the bus going to the stadium, the local TV station was playing on the radio, and the host talked about today's game and the weather. The tone did not feel shocked. Looking at the teammates around him, he was calm about the weather.
It seems that Russian people are used to playing football games in the ice and snow.
The sky outside the car window is a bit gloomy, even in the afternoon, it is no different from the evening... But speaking of it, the winter days in Moscow are inherently short. It is more than nine o'clock in the morning, and it will be dark after four o'clock in the afternoon...
Chen Yingxiong was not used to spending winter here at first. After it got dark, he always thought it was very late, but he didn't think it was only four or five in the afternoon.
This caused his biological clock to be somewhat disordered. Fortunately, he has adapted to it now, otherwise he would definitely feel hungry now...
Although the snow is not small, Chen Yingxiong still saw many fans along the way. They either drove or walked towards the stadium.
There are also fans with thin clothes and wine bottles in their hands.
They were wearing red CSKA Moscow jerseys, and when they saw Zenit's car approaching, they sang loudly and pointed their middle fingers to the car.
Judging from the reactions of the fans, this game is definitely not friendly.
But this has nothing to do with Chen Yingxiong. He came to the CSKA Moscow today to trouble and smash the scene.
Fortunately, the snow today is not too big, and the snow on the road is not deep, and it has not seriously affected the driving of the car, so it reached the competition venue smoothly along the way.
After getting out of the air-conditioned bus, Chen Yingxiong shrank his neck with coldness.
At the parking place, although the weather was very cold, many reporters were still waiting. They were also tightly wrapped, but seeing the players getting off the car, one by one regained their vitality and rushed up.
Ed Wo Carter, Arshavin and... Chen Yingxiong became the focus of the media.
Ed Wocart is the team's head coach, and Arshavin is the team's number one star. It is only natural that they are chased by the media. Chen Yingxiong was chased by the media because of his ups and downs.
"You have not scored in four consecutive league rounds. Have you encountered a scoring drought?"
Hero Chen grinned: "Goal shortage? What is goal shortage?"
