Chapter 34 Remember this name from today!
Chen Yingxiong found that he thought about professional football at the beginning was too simple.
If it weren't for Mr. Aurora's help, his level should have been mixed in the youth team or the reserve team. It was entirely because of this upgrade system that allowed him to win the favor of the head coach and appeared in this game.
In other words, except for heading ability, Chen Yingxiong's other abilities do not meet the requirements of the professional league.
But it's such a freak who is now running on the professional league field, desperately looking for opportunities.
It's a pity that most of the time, he just ran.
run.
run……
When Zenit attacked, he ran up.
When the opponent attacked, he ran back.
Although he returned to defense, his contribution to defense was extremely low. After all, he is a center forward, a center forward who never defends, and is not a defensive forward.
Twenty minutes into the game, he still had no chance to perform. If anyone pays attention to him, he will only have one evaluation of him - he is working very hard to run around like a headless fly.
The commentator was quite interested in him at first, after all, he was a player from China. Moreover, his figure was so burly that he could not even be ignored. In addition, he was carrying a very, very large number - "99"! It was very eye-catching.
But as the game progressed, everyone's attention to him gradually decreased and even disappeared in the end. Why?
Because he didn't perform well at all.
Due to Kerzakov, Zenit has been working on the ground and Chen Yingxiong's footwork is not suitable for walking on the ground...
Without the opportunity to perform, it will naturally not appear in the close-ups of TV broadcasts.
On the court, everyone will only pay attention to those players who hold the ball, and players who don’t take the ball will automatically disappear from their vision.
Of course, Chen Yingxiong knew his current situation and he had to show it as soon as possible, otherwise it would be undoubtedly replaced by the head coach in advance.
He didn't want the opportunity he had worked hard to get, so he just slipped away.
Why did I work so hard? Is it to come here and embarrass people by the way?
Nalchixparta and Zenit were evenly matched, and Nalchixparta's head coach arranged very targeted tactics.
After knowing that Tek was injured, he studied the characteristics of Zenit's other forwards and found that they were all fast and nimble forwards. Such forwards need space to give them to them in order to exert their power. So wouldn't it be enough not to give them space yourself?
So in this game, Nalchiksparta adopted a style of play to tighten the defense and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. He shrank into a group in the backcourt and did not give Zenit's forwards the opportunity to play their speed advantage. When counterattacking, they themselves fully utilized their speed advantage.
When the players from both sides entered the court, the head coach of Nalchiksparta was surprised when he saw Chen Yingxiong in Zenit's formation - looking at his body, you can tell that this kid and Kerzakov are not the same as each other.
At that time, he was still worried about how to deal with Chen Yingxiong.
Now he is not worried. Judging from his performance in the past twenty minutes, No. 99's performance was very, very average, and it can even be said to be not very good.
His cooperation with the whole team is obviously not tacit enough, and his own level is still a little worse.
In fact, the evaluation of head coach Nalchix Sparta is quite polite.
There were already some Zenit fans in the stands talking: "Who is that No. 99?"
"Is this performance enough to make him start in the Super League?"
"I'm wrong about Li Hao. He is not Edvorkat's brother-in-law. This number 99 is!"
Only a very, very, very small number of fans will remember that when they watched the youth team game, there was such a big man who headed very well.
Later they never saw him in the youth team again, and it turned out that they had been transferred to the first team.
No. 99 has become the focus of everyone's discussion, but this number itself is indeed impressive.
In fact, there are only three numbers in the entire team of St. Petersburg Zenit, which is normal - No. 1, Contfalski, who is a goalkeeper. No. 10, Al Shavin, who is the core of the midfield. No. 11, Krzakov, who is a fast forward.
As for the others... those classic numbers are completely no longer classic in Zenit.
The number of the center No. 9 belongs to the substitute midfielder Radka Hill, and the number of the frontcourt player No. 8 belongs to the left back Pavel Maresh. The captain of the team, Radimov, wore the No. 2 jersey, will definitely make people think that he is a central defender, but in fact he is a front midfielder. The team's main shooter Teke wears the No. 61 jersey. As for No. 88, No. 87, No. 78, No. 44... These numbers are all "famous flowers have their masters".
Chen Yingxiong originally wanted to be No. 9. He wore No. 9 jerseys among young people in domestic clubs. This is a classic center number, symbolizing ability. But No. 9 already belongs to Hill. He can't ask others to give up this number as soon as he goes up, right? He doesn't have the qualifications yet.
So he had to settle for the next best. If one number 9 cannot be chosen, I will choose two number 9. Moreover, number 99 is the largest among all numbers, and it is impossible to have a three-digit number.
Now I can't do the most awesome of all players, but I can make my number the most awesome of all players.
With this idea, Chen Yingxiong chose the big and exaggerated number No. 99.
Now, the most awesome number of all numbers is facing a crisis.
Zenit's previous tactical style was to play on the ground, because they had Radimov, Arshavin, Krzakov and other technical players.
Edvocart did not change this after he took the stage to coach, continuing Zenit's style.
But now their tactics are facing difficulties.
Edvorkat saw it clearly off the court.
He looked down at his watch and the game had already begun twenty-five minutes.
During this period, his team basically did not get any decent shooting opportunities. Although Zenit was able to form a siege during the offense, Nalchiksparta's defense was very stable and the counterattack was particularly sharp, which made Zenit not dare to beat the attack with all his might.
Edvorkat also realized that Chen Yingxiong was a player who was useless except heading. But that heading was the offensive weapon that the team lacked and needed the most...
He decided to change his tactics.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of a dead ball, he called Arshavin to his side: "Andre, we won't go to the ground, we will go into the air. Tell them that after getting the ball in the backcourt, you can directly pass the hero. The two sides should make full use of it, and then cross the ball from the side to send the football from the air to the opponent's goal... Pass the ball to the hero and let him head the ball!"
Of course, Al Shawen also knew how powerful Chen Yingxiong was in the header. This kid had already shown his header ability to the fullest during training. Everyone also knew that Chen Yingxiong was selected into the first team because of his invincible header.
The Zenit's number one star nodded and ran back to the court.
When Chen Yingxiong was feeling unhappy about his performance, he saw the football being passed to the frontcourt and Radimov was in control.
At this time, football would definitely use a series of ground cooperation to finally try to pass into the penalty area.
But this time, he found that Radimov passed the football to Arshavin on the wing without hesitation!
A familiar scene came to his mind - when playing in the team, their substitute group used this tactic to fight against the main group.
Take the side road, and then pass the side road to the middle!
Chen Yingxiong turned around and pulled his feet and chased him!
My chance is here!!
He was so excited that he wanted to shout.
"Arshavin gets the ball!" the commentator shouted.
The fans in the stands also shouted excitedly. "Shawa! Shawa! Shawa!!"
Arshavin's status can be seen from this.
As soon as he gets the ball, everyone is looking forward to what will happen.
For example, show his foot skills to the fullest, then take a beautiful emergency stop and turn around in the high-speed dribble, shake off the pursuers, then break into the penalty area, and then lightly send the football into the gap, allowing the follow-up teammates to shoot easily.
"Be careful of his breakthrough!" Nalchiksparta's player shouted loudly, reminding his teammates not to put Alshavin in easily.
While rushing into the penalty area, Chen Yingxiong turned his head to look at Arshavin's movements.
Soon he rushed to the penalty area line.
Al Shavin was actually dribbling the ball while observing the situation in the middle.
When he saw that Chen Yingxiong had already rushed to the penalty area line, he flicked a fake move and made a fake move to cut in directly, causing the full-back who had been following him to take a step back and give him the space for passing the ball.
Arshavin is no longer polite and just passes the cross!
The football drew an arc and flew high towards the goal.
Here comes!
Those things that should come to Chen Yingxiong's mind, and the familiar feeling appeared again.
My performance opportunity is here!
He was so excited that he even had an unconcealed smile on his face.
"Be careful of that big man!!" It was not until this time that Narchiksparta's goalkeeper remembered that Zenit from St. Petersburg was not the only one Kerzakov.
Accompanied by his shouts, Chen Yingxiong kicked hard during the sprint and jumped high!
The central defender who was guarding the penalty area also jumped up and prepared to compete for the top.
When Edvorkat saw this scene off the court, he couldn't help but stand up from his seat, leaned forward, and looked at the stadium with a focused look on his face.
Ye Saining, who was sitting behind him, also stood up from his seat. He stared at the court with the people around him attentively and stared at Nalchiksparta's goal.
What will happen next?
Everyone has such expectations in their hearts.
Chen Yingxiong's body was tilted in the air, his head was poked forward, his hands were raised, and he waved them in the air, just like a big roc flying with wings.
The good judgment of the football landing point allowed Chen Yingxiong to get stuck before the Nalchiksparta defender. Next, he just needs to... just head to attack the goal in the right place!
Looking at the football getting closer and closer, Chen Yingxiong roared in his heart:
I, I want to become famous with one goal!!
The lion shook his head!
Bang!
His forehead hit the football, and at the same time he threw his neck hard towards the goal!
Nalchiksparta's goalkeeper jumped up and rushed towards the football! But that happened after the football flew into the goal...
"The ball...the ball is in-!!!!"
The commentator was stunned for a moment and shouted wildly.
After landing, Chen Yingxiong turned around and saw the football spinning on the ball net. He knew he had succeeded!
Excited, he did not celebrate the goal with any teammates, but rushed straight to the camera on the sidelines, then turned around, looked at the camera with his back, raised his hands, and pointed at the name behind him.
“hero”
