Chapter 73 Farewell to Kirov, Farewell to 2006
There are two rounds left in the 2006 Russian League season, and this season is coming to an end.
Since Zenit St. Petersburg does not qualify for the European competition this season, they do not need to continue training after the league ends and wait for the final round of the European group stage.
As soon as the league ended, the team entered the holiday season.
But for Zenit, now is not the time to relax. In the last two rounds, Zenit still needs to consolidate its fourth position in the league.The point difference between the fourth in the league and the ninth in the league is very close. Anyone of these teams has hope to land, and no one may fall short.
Although he went out to nightclubs, Chen Yingxiong's condition was not affected.
This is also what makes Denisov and his group admire Chen Yingxiong the most - no matter how crazy he played last night, it will not affect his performance today.
How did they know that even if Chen Yingxiong didn't go out to nightclubs, he was practiced to death in the dungeon every night, so picking up a girl or something didn't affect him at all, it was just a drizzle.To him, the physical strength and energy consumed are not as good as being practiced in the dungeon for half an hour.
On November 24, Zenit St. Petersburg challenged Shinnik_Yaroslavl away. Yaroslavl ranked No.16 in the league and was relegated early.
So this game has no suspense for Zenit.
However, Chen Yingxiong did not score in this game.
This is not to say that he slacked off after signing a new contract. In fact, he was very motivated in today's game, and he especially wanted to score goals in the game to prove to the club that their money was well worth it.
Although he worked very hard, he also got a few good opportunities.But in today's game, Yaroslavlshnik's goalkeeper seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, making wonderful saves again and again.Chen Yingxiong just can't get in his door!
The season is coming to an end, but Chen Yingxiong's goals this season are still hovering at nine.
Chen Yingxiong hopes to make his goals in the first season into double digits.
But now, his goal can only be realized in the last round of the league.
Although he didn't score a goal, it didn't affect Chen Yingxiong's image in Advocaat's heart.
With Chen Yingxiong, any fool can see what the team's offense looks like.
In the match against Yaroslavlshnik, although Chen Yingxiong failed to score, Zenit won 3:1.Because Yaroslavlshnik's defenders put all their energy on how to defend Chen Yingxiong, Chen Yingxiong failed to score, but created opportunities for other teammates to score goals.
Now the media no longer scold Chen Yingxiong for falling into a scoring drought, because they all know that Chen Yingxiong's role is not only in scoring.
It's just that Chen Yingxiong doesn't think so...he still hopes to score goals.
This wish finally came true in the last round of the league.
November 2006th, the last game of the [-] Russian Premier League season.
Zenit St Petersburg host Tomsk.
Being able to end the season at home is a good thing for the team and a good thing for the fans.
Moreover, this game has a special meaning.That is, the Kirov Stadium, which has served the team for decades, is about to withdraw from the stage of history.The club has announced plans for a new stadium, and will build a brand new and modern stadium on the original site of the Kirov Stadium - Gazprom Arena.
Today, the majority of Zenit St. Petersburg fans came to see off the old stadium.
Many people were holding a flower when they entered the arena.
Not only the fans, but also many Zenit St. Petersburg players are reluctant to part.
After all, they have been fighting here for several years or more than ten years.
For example, Arshavin, he was brought by his father to the stands of this stadium to watch Zenit games when he was a child, so he became a Zenit fan, and eventually became a Zenit player, Zenit Core.
He is very emotional about this stadium.
Sure enough, in today's game, Arshavin was particularly enthusiastic, as if he wanted to bid farewell to Kirov Stadium with his excellent performance.
Chen Yingxiong knew what Arshavin wanted, so he didn't choose to shoot at the most critical moment, but...passed the ball!
Since Chen Yingxiong almost attracted the attention of all Tomsk defenders, when he passed the football to Arshavin, there was no defensive player around the core of Zenit!
How could Arshavin have any reason to refuse the great gift that came to his door?Swipe the football directly into the goal!
Arshavin was very excited after scoring the goal. He lifted his jersey and revealed the T-shirt he had prepared a long time ago.
There was an earth-shattering cheer in the stands.
It reads:
Goodbye, Kirov!We love you forever!
After bidding farewell to Kirov Stadium with a goal, Arshavin ran back and hugged Chen Yingxiong again: "Don't you want to score too?"
Chen Yingxiong is going to score the tenth goal of his first career, and the whole team knows about it.
Chen Yingxiong smiled at Arshavin: "Didn't we only score one goal in a game?"
Arshavin reacted, and he also smiled: "Haha! That's right! We didn't only score one goal in a game! Wait for my pass, hero!" He happily hugged Chen Yingxiong's back Take a shot.
Give it to peach and give it to Li.
Chen Yingxiong used an assist in exchange for others' gratitude and rewards for him.
So it was no surprise that his tenth goal came.
At the end of the first half, after Arshavin made a breakthrough from the wing, he sent a cross. Chen Yingxiong smashed the football into the goal with his signature header!
There were thunderous cheers at the scene-Zenit will bid farewell to the Kirov Stadium with a victory!
"The tenth goal! This is the tenth goal of the hero this season! Do you know when he started playing in the first team of Zenit? September 19th, the No.[-] round of the league! Until now So far he has played eleven rounds and scored ten goals! Such a scoring rate is really terrifying!"
St. Petersburg local television commentator Shirgeyevsky exclaimed excitedly.
For him, the biggest achievement of Zenit this season is not regaining the qualification for the European competition, but... the discovery of such a sky king who turned out to be born out of nowhere!
The club said two weeks ago that they had successfully renewed their contract with Chen Yingxiong, which means that Chen Yingxiong will continue to stay in the team next season. In this way, Zenit St. Petersburg next season is really worth looking forward to...
Chen Yingxiong, who finally scored his tenth goal of the season, was extremely excited. He even took off his shirt, and rushed to the camera with his upper body naked in the ice and snow, showing off his body full of strength and explosive power. Then he roared at the camera, turned around and hugged his teammates.
For Chen Yingxiong, it could not be better to use a goal as the end of the first season of his career.
For Advocaat, using a game victory to qualify for the UEFA Cup next season, it couldn't be better.Because the schedule of the Russian League and the European League is surprising, St. Petersburg will have to wait until August next year to participate in the UEFA Cup. In fact, it is participating in the UEFA Cup in the 07-08 season.
For Advocaat, it is meaningless to lead Zenit to dominate the country. This team has such a powerful investor, and I definitely hope that the team can play wild in the European arena.It would be even better if they could win the UEFA Cup again like CSKA Moscow!
The purpose of Advocaat's coming here is for the European war.
For Zenit fans, saying goodbye to the Kirov Stadium with a victory could not be better.
After Chen Yingxiong and Arshavin scored goals, Kerzakov also scored a goal in the second half.
In the end, Zenit St. Petersburg defeated Tomsk 3:0 at home, finished fourth in the league, and qualified for the UEFA Cup next season.
After the game, the entire Zenit team thanked the fans and bid farewell to the Kirov Stadium.
The fans threw the flowers in their hands from the stands one after another, saying goodbye to the Kirov Stadium that had accompanied them for decades.
Chen Yingxiong has no affection for this stadium, after all, he only stayed here for less than half a season.
For him, being able to qualify for the UEFA Cup made him very happy.This means that next season he will have the opportunity to go to Europe to compete with stronger opponents.If he can score goals in that kind of game, and score a lot of goals, I believe it will be a hit.
When he first entered Zenit, he was still thinking about how to become famous as soon as possible... Now it seems that everything is going smoothly. After going to the European arena, Chen Yingxiong believes that he will be known by more people.
When the last lights went out, the Kirov Stadium fell silent.
The wind howled, just like the noise that once sounded above it, and there were faint shouts of "blue, white and blue" from the fans.But when the wind died down, the hustle and bustle disappeared without a trace.
This stadium, which has gone through decades of wind, frost, rain and snow, closed its doors and came to the end of its life.
The 2006 season of the Russian Premier League came to an end. CSKA Moscow finally defended the league title, and Zenit St. Petersburg regained their qualification for the UEFA Cup after one season.
But many years later, when everyone talks about Russian football in 2006, maybe they will think of the Chinese big man who turned out to be born?
This is Chen Yingxiong's first season in professional football. Although there are only eleven games, everyone who has watched his performance will be full of expectations for his future.
What kind of surprise will he bring to everyone next year?
