Chapter 148 The hero sneezes, Zenit shiveres (3150 monthly ticket plus update)

Chen Yingxiong still remembered what Advocaat said when he asked him to go home to rest, and Edvocaat himself obviously remembered it too.

"Hero, Zenit St. Petersburg is not your team alone. Don't think that the team can't win without you!"

This sentence is loud and clear.

Advocaat did not have the slightest doubt when he said it. In his opinion, Zenit has excellent players such as Tymoshchuk, Dominguez, Arshavin, and Kerzakov. Isn't it easy to win Nuremberg at home?

But he was wrong.

Chen Yingxiong looked at the TV screen in front of him, his eyes widened, the eyeballs almost popped out, he still couldn't believe what he saw and heard.

"Leon_Benko! Leon Benko! No. 803 minutes! What an exciting game! Nuremberg equalized away!"

The narrator was yelling.

Chen Yingxiong didn't mean to cheer for "an exciting game" at all, because his team was tied.

At No. 803 minutes, Zenit, who had a 2:1 lead, was equalized by Nuremberg.

The Petrovsky Stadium was silent except for the cheers from a few fans of the visiting team.

The TV broadcast quickly gave a close-up of Advocaat, the Dutch coach standing in the command area, his face livid.

"Zenit's main shooter in this game, Chen Yingxiong, was not included in the team's squad at all because of a cold and fever, but no one would think that his absence would have any impact on the team. After all, Zenit has many An excellent player with outstanding talent. But the fact is so ironic that Zenit, which lacks Chen Yingxiong, was evened by the opponent at his own home court!"

"During the game, Zenit got a lot of chances, but they only scored two goals in the end. Now Zenit, who has repeatedly wasted opportunities, has suffered retribution!"

"The role of Chen Yingxiong is not only reflected in the goal. The key is that with him in the frontcourt, Zenit's offense will have a direction. When the players play the ball, they will have a goal and know what they should do. Do. If he does not play, Zenit's offense looks like a headless chicken. Although there are many shots, there are not many threats. Zenit took 27 shots before conceding the ball, but only scored. Two goals, and Nuremberg? Eleven shots, two goals..."

"Look at Advocaat's expression, he must be regretting why he didn't wear Chen Yingxiong, even if he put it on the bench..."

Advocaat did have some regrets for not putting Chen Yingxiong on the bench, but the thought was fleeting in his mind.

Now is not the time to regret this.

Faced with such a situation, there was nothing he could do.He has used up all three substitutions, and all he can do is watch from the sidelines and see how his players can take the lead again with their own efforts...

Without a hero...it's kind of hard.

Damn!

Why did you think of him again?
Advocaat sadly discovered a fact—Chen Yingxiong caught a cold, and his team suffered from "Chen Yingxiong dependence"...

When Chen Yingxiong sneezes, his team seems to catch a cold.

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong didn't know what mood he should be at this time - his team was tied by the opponent, and the situation of qualifying for the UEFA Cup group was not optimistic.But if a team without their own is tied, will the head coach realize his importance?

To be honest, although he knew that what the head coach said was the truth, he was still a little bit shocked when he was said to his face, "Don't think that the team can't win without you."

He longs to be valued by the team, by the head coach, and by everyone.

He wants to be recognized for his important role to the team.

Although I know that Advocaat hopes that I can go back to recuperate with peace of mind, but after all, I am a little unhappy.

So seeing the team being tied, he really didn't know what his feelings should be—well, it's quite complicated...

But fortunately, there is still one more round, the last game against Everton, I will definitely go into battle, and for the team's qualifying... I will fight!
Let you see how powerful my hero is!

In the final match against Nuremberg, Zenit failed to score again.The score was fixed at 2:2.

It can be seen that Chen Yingxiong's teammates are very disappointed.

When interviewed by reporters after the game, they all expressed their regret that they could not win the game at home.

Advocaat was "besieged" by reporters at the press conference, and of course the topic only revolved around one person.

"Mr. Advocaat, is the draw of this game related to Chen Yingxiong's absence?"

"The hero is not there, and the team's offensive methods lack changes. Didn't the team make targeted deployments before the game?"

"The hero has a cold and a fever, will it still affect his appearance in the game against Everton?"

"Is Zenit suffering from 'hero dependence'?"

……

These problems caused Advocaat a headache, and at the same time he had to keep his own blockage, so he could only smile wryly.

"The draw was unexpected... Judging from the scene, we had the advantage. I'm sorry that we didn't win the game... Hero? He had a cold and a fever before, and he didn't train with the team for three days. Considering his state and Physical condition, I didn't play him... no, I don't regret it. He has to rest, he's been fighting for a season and he needs to rest. We have one game left and it's not going to be an easy game away at Everton competition, but we are confident..."

"May I ask Mr. Edvorkata, will Chen Yingxiong play against Everton?"

"...I think so..."

Advocaat finally succumbed, he didn't say anything like "I don't know, we have to see his state at the time" and "No comment", but just said the answer directly, because he didn't want everyone Continue to ask about topics related to Chen Yingxiong.This is a post-match press conference, not a press conference about Chen Yingxiong.

※ ※ ※

In fact, after the game, although Advocaat did not admit that such a thing as "hero dependence" really existed, the media had already analyzed it for him.Zenit is suffering from "hero dependence"!
"...Unfortunately, Chen Yingxiong caught a cold before the game against Nuremberg... He sneezed, and then Zenit St. Petersburg shivered. In this way, they were tied by Nuremberg at home..."

"I think Advocaat obviously underestimated the role of heroes on the team. You must know that he is not just a center who can score goals... As long as he exists on the field, he is a threat to the opponent's defense. He Not only can they score goals by themselves, but they can also help other teammates attract the attention of the opponent's defense...Once there is no hero, Advocaat's team will not know how to attack, and they will lose their direction!"

"Let's be honest, Zenit St. Petersburg is suffering from 'hero dependence' now! There is nothing shameful about it...Look at his statistics in the league, if it weren't for his 27 goals, Zenit would have won the league title Is it? I see Xuan..."

Advocaat looked at the articles in these newspapers and remained silent.

He didn't want to admit it, but the fact slapped him mercilessly.

This made him a little embarrassed in front of the hero.

But fortunately, his disciples gave him face...

During the training the next day, Chen Yingxiong could feel that Advocaat was a little unnatural when he was face to face with him... He must have thought of the phrase "Don't think that without you, the team can't win." .

Unexpectedly, the word became a prophecy, and it really didn't win.

In fact, Chen Yingxiong is also quite embarrassed... He is now wishing that the team won the ball...

Therefore, Chen Yingxiong did not show the slightest "gloating" expression in front of the head coach-he looked sad, as if a relative had died.He didn't joke loudly with his teammates in training either - he didn't do this kind of thing in the past, he was the living treasure pistachio in the team.

Advocaat was very satisfied with Chen Yingxiong's performance, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

※ ※ ※

After the training, Chen Yingxiong was blocked by reporters. They wanted to hear Chen Yingxiong's opinion on the team's draw with Nuremberg.

Of course, Chen Yingxiong wouldn't foolishly say, "If I had myself, it would be easy to destroy Nuremberg."

He expressed regret for the team's draw, and went on to say that the game against Everton will be the decisive battle.

"I will definitely do my best. We will beat Everton and qualify with our heads held high!" Chen Yingxiong declared arrogantly.

The reporters cheered in their hearts: "Great, hero! This is the kind of news you want! The more arrogant you are, the more we like it! Do you know that readers like your arrogance!"

The match between Zenit St. Petersburg and Everton is on December [-]th, six days before the game against Nuremberg.

Chen Yingxiong caught a cold and had a fever four days before the match against Nuremberg.

In fact, his cold is already cured now, but because he hasn’t trained with his teammates for several days—for fear that he might catch a cold, but also for the sake of his health, he went home to recuperate—so he didn’t show up with the team. In the squad for the Nuremberg match.

But if nothing else, he will definitely appear in the squad for the Everton game.Especially after watching today's game, many people have firmly established the idea that without Chen Yingxiong, Zenit would lose the most powerful and heavy axe.

This northern giant bear is someone the team still has to rely on, even if it suffers from "hero dependence" for this.
