Chapter 135 23 (2800 monthly tickets plus more)

While Chen Yingxiong retaliated with a hat-trick and officially declared war on Pavlyuchenko, Zenit also achieved a breakthrough victory on another front-they returned home and defeated Overcome the standard scorching sun and successfully advanced to the UEFA Cup.

The only regret is that Chen Yingxiong didn't score in this game. He came off the bench in the second half and only played 15 minutes without any decent chances.

This is not the first time Zenit has entered the UEFA Cup, but Chen Yingxiong is looking forward to it, because this is his first European tour.

The group draw will take place immediately after all the teams entering the main match are released.

In the end, Zenit St. Petersburg was assigned to Group A, and Alkamar from the Netherlands, Everton from the Premier League, Larissa from Greece, and Nuremberg from Germany were assigned to a group.

The Uefa Cup is different from the UEFA Champions League. Each group consists of five teams, and there is no home and away game. Instead, each team will play against each other and rank to determine who advances to the knockout stage.

So even though the start date of the UEFA Cup group stage is later than that of the UEFA Champions League, and there are more participating teams than the UEFA Champions League, it is still possible to complete all the group stages before the winter break.

It's just that the teams in the Russian League have suffered. After the end of the season, they will play three UEFA Cup group matches. The final round of the group match will end on December [-]th.The Russian Premier League this season ended on November [-].

Those teams that do not need to participate in the European competition are naturally disbanded directly, and the players are given leave.And the teams that need to participate in the European war are suffering, and they are still training and playing in the ice and snow.Of course, it is even more difficult for other European teams who are unfortunate enough to come to Russia to play away at this time...

After the opponents in the group stage are announced, the schedule will also be announced.

Zenit's game will start on October 25th and will play a total of four games. On October 25th, it will face Alkmaar at home first, on November 29th it will challenge Larissa away, and on November [-]th it will play against Alkmaar at home. Against Nuremberg.Finally, on December [-], away to Everton.

In this group, the strongest may be Everton from the Premier League, while the weakest in the city is Larissa of Greece. The other three teams are centrists who are expected to advance or may be eliminated.

Advocaat needs to carefully study his opponents and decide what strategy to adopt in the group stage. For example, the away game against Everton is the last group stage game. If the promotion is confirmed, then the game against Everton will become a real friendly match-Advocaat thinks that Everton should also advance early.

The hardest game might just turn out to be the best.

Although it is a good game, it should not be difficult to play against Larissa.

The main thing to consider is the home game against Alkmaar, and the home game against Nuremberg...

If you play well in these two games, you will be able to win the right to qualify, otherwise... it will be over!

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong is not the head coach, and he doesn't care how the team will play at that time, which game should be exhausted, and which game should be reserved.His mind is now preoccupied with making his name known in the UEFA Cup race.

I want to score!I want to score more and more goals!

But so far, the domestic league is more important.The first UEFA Cup group match will not be played until October 25. Before that, he still has two league games to play.

On the one hand, they are competing for the league championship, and on the other hand, they completely trample Pavlyuchenko under their feet.

※ ※ ※

On October 4th, Zenit St. Petersburg challenged Lokomotiv Moscow away.Although this team is currently ranked eighth in the league, its strength should not be underestimated. You must know that in the last round of the league, they defeated Spartak Moscow 3:[-] at home, taking this team from the first place in the league. The horse was pulled down from the throne.Give Zenit a chance to reverse.

Zenit certainly does not want to repeat the mistakes of Spartak Moscow.

So in this game, Advocaat deployed the strongest lineup he could.

Chen Yingxiong started the field and was at the forefront. His task was to attack the city and pull out the stronghold.

Of course Advocaat knew that Chen Yingxiong was holding back his energy to compete with Pavlyuchenko, and his goals could bring the team victory.This is what Advocaat wished for.Of course he wanted to make good use of Chen Yingxiong's desire.

As a result, in this game, Chen Yingxiong lived up to expectations and scored another goal!
"No. 20 two goals! It's unbelievable! He's scoring consecutive goals! He's already scored 22 goals! Since the establishment of the Russian Premier League, the most goals scored by the league's top scorer in a single season is 25, created by Oleg_Veretennikov (Oleg_Veretennikov) in the 1995 season... Can Chen Yingxiong break this record?"

※ ※ ※

Relying on Chen Yingxiong's goal, Zenit won CSKA Moscow 1-0 in the away game.

In this way, the pressure was transferred to Spartak Moscow and Pavlyuchenko.

Especially for Pavlyuchenko... the pressure is quite high!
He didn't score in the last round of the league, but Chen Yingxiong overtook him by one goal. In this round, Chen Yingxiong has already scored a goal. If he can't score again, the gap will become wider and wider.Ultimately irreparable.

With this mentality, Pavlyuchenko frantically looked for scoring opportunities in the game.

But there is one truth that cannot be subverted, that is, your mentality is very important in a football game.The more impetuous you are, the less opportunities you have. When you are calm, you will get many opportunities that you never thought of before.

Pavlyuchenko's idea of ​​competing with Chen Yingxiong on the scorer list is good, but he didn't control his mentality well, and he was a little too impatient...

In the end, Staba Moscow defeated Nalchiksparta 2:1 in the away game, and continued to bite Zenit in the standings, preventing Zenit from having the slightest chance to relax.

However, Pavlyuchenko, who was out of balance, failed to seize the opportunity to score in the game. The gap between him and Chen Yingxiong was pulled to two goals.

It's amazing, just two rounds before the league, he was still two goals ahead of Chen Yingxiong in the scorer list, who would have thought that it would be his turn to be led by two goals now...

※ ※ ※

On October 20th, in the seventh round of No.20 of the Russian Super League, the same city derby between Sparta Moscow and FC Moscow was very hot. One player from both sides was sent off with a red card.Pavlyuchenko finally found the feeling of scoring in this game. He scored a goal with a penalty kick, raising his total number of goals in the league to No.[-].

Only one goal away from the hero.

Spartak Moscow defeated FC Moscow 3:1 at home, and returned to the top of the league before the Zenit game was played.But everyone doesn't care about this, because they all know that as long as Zenit wins, Spartak Moscow will fall from the first place in the league.

Sure enough, Zenit St. Petersburg did not disappoint those watching the show.

In the league a day later, they beat Chimki 4-1 at home, pulling Spartak Moscow down as expected.

Now everyone thinks that this is the case for the league championship. Anyway, both sides are in good condition. If they can both win, the final league championship will definitely go to Zenit. It depends on who makes a mistake in the end.

But the competition for the top scorer in the league is different. In addition to the suspense of who will win the Golden Boot in the end, there is another suspense-Oleg Veretennikov's record of 25 goals has been maintained for eleven seasons , is hope broken this time?

Chen Yingxiong used a beautiful goal in the game to tell everyone that there is hope!

With that goal, he's now on 23 goals, just two away from Veretennikov's 25.

※ ※ ※

After this game is over, his crazy scoring in the league will temporarily stop and take a break.

The UEFA Cup is here!
In Advocaat's plan, Zenit must win the home game against Alkmaar, because this is a team with similar strength and the team that poses the greatest threat to Zenit.

But what is the result?

The result is that Zenit played a 1:1 with the opponent at home...

Alkamar took the lead in the away game, and No. 19 minutes scored.

In the next away game, Alkmaar began to use frequent fouls to contain Zenit at home.

Especially Chen Yingxiong.

When he rushed to the front, there were always at least two people around him, and they used both hands and feet to defend.

The price Alkmaar paid for this was seven yellow cards and one red card throughout the game-their goal hero Ali was sent off.

Because Chen Yingxiong was restrained by the opponent's foul tactics, he failed to score in this game.

Captain Tymoshchuk helped the team equalize at the beginning of the second half.

Then Alkmaar's foul tactics remained the same. Because they lost one person, they withdrew all their troops back, fouling and defending, making Zenit's offense a quagmire.

Obviously, Advocaat did not expect his team to encounter such tenacious resistance at home. He lacked changes and could not come up with effective solutions.

Chen Yingxiong also fell into the misunderstanding of competing physically with the opponent, blindly showing his own strength, but forgot to shoot.

In the end, Zenit could only regretfully accept the result of a 1:1 draw at home.

Although Chen Yingxiong is looking forward to it, his first goal in the UEFA Cup has not yet come.

A 1:1 draw at home by Alkmaar cast a shadow over Zenit St. Petersburg's prospects of qualifying for the group stage.

If you can't even pass the group stage, what are you talking about a hat-trick in the knockout stage?

Chen Yingxiong wasn't too depressed when he left the field. He frowned, and anger was faintly visible on his face.

He wasn't angry at the performance of his teammates, he was angry that his performance was not good enough to help the team win.

He must advance to the knockout stage of the UEFA Cup. This is the dead goal he has set for himself.

For this goal, he was about to go crazy.
