Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter One Hundred and Forty Four

"...Zenit could have defeated Nuremberg at his home court to completely end this suspenseful situation and take out the line right, because before that, their ranking and situation were very good. But who would have thought of Chen? The hero missed the game because of a cold and fever, which caused the team to be tied at home by Nuremberg... This time Chen Yingxiong regained the opportunity to play, so what can he do at Goodison Park in Everton? What about such storms?"

If there is any confidence in the St. Petersburg media, it must come from Chen Yingxiong. After all, he is the team's top scorer in the league and has just broken Oleg Villezhnikov's single-season scoring record for the Russian Super League.

But the Moscow media don't think so. They believe that pinning their hopes on Chen Yingxiong is destined to be fruitless, because-"Chen Yingxiong only scored one goal in the UEFA Cup this season. He played so many games, and many of them were starters. Ninety minutes of the game. What does this show? The first time to participate in the UEFA Cup, the second season of his career, the first season of complete experience... Chen Yingxiong's experience is severely lacking, he is just an inexperienced Rookie! The madness in the Russian domestic league made many people ignore this point intentionally or unintentionally. But in the cruel European arena, his shortcomings are infinitely magnified... I count on him to score a goal against Everton. Save the team? He only scored a goal against Larissa, who is the weakest in the group. Everton's air defense capabilities are much better than Larissa!"

The outside world criticized him for not scoring a goal in the UEFA Cup. He was just a striker who was a civil war expert and a foreign war expert. Of course Chen Yingxiong knew it.

Had it not been for Ed Wocart to give the whole team a password to prevent them from being interviewed before the Everton game, he would definitely point to the reporters who criticized him.

Now, there was a fire in his heart. Since you can't say it, then do it. He wants to let those critics know in the game against Everton, he Chen Yingxiong was born for the big scene! That small, insignificant game... It's not rare for people to score goals!

To score, you have to score in a life-and-death match with Everton!

Okay, Chen Yingxiong is arrogant, but only one goal really makes Chen Yingxiong worry about him, so this time he will definitely try his best. He doesn't know how Everton will deal with him, but he wants to surprise the people of Everton!

Chen Yingxiong still has another thought-Everton is a Premier League team, this time they are still playing at their home games. It will definitely attract a lot of attention. European scouts and media are paying more attention to this game than flying. St. Petersburg, thousands of miles away, is much easier to go to. This will increase his exposure, he will be known by more people, and he will have the opportunity to improve his reputation...

In the press conference before the game, Moyes talked about several threatening players in Zenit St. Petersburg. He believed that Zenit is a very powerful team and should not be underestimated. He did not at all agree with the view that this team can easily be defeated at home.

However, the threatening players he mentioned did not include Chen Yingxiong.

The Chinese media is obviously very dissatisfied with this.

Since this game was held in England, coupled with the key battle related to whether Zenit can advance to the knockout round, many Chinese reporters came. They are all paying attention to Chen Yingxiong's game. If they win, they will continue to see Chen Yingxiong in the UEFA Cup next year, otherwise...the attention will be reduced.

As a compatriot of Chen Yingxiong, when facing outsiders, everyone naturally turned to their own family. Therefore, seeing that Moyes didn't mention Chen Yingxiong's name, many Chinese journalists were fighting for Chen Yingxiong.

They must let Moyes talk about his evaluation of Chen Yingxiong.

"Dear Mr. Moyes, do you know who is the top scorer in the Russian Premier League this season?"

Being able to get the season’s top scorer and break the Russian Premier League’s single-season scoring record has always been something the Chinese media are proud of. There are many overseas players in Chinese history, but there are players who can get the best scorer in the league. several? Before Chen Yingxiong, there was only Dong Fangzhuo. He was also the top scorer in the regular season of the Belgian second division.

Chen Yingxiong won the top scorer in Russia's top league, the sixth-ranked league in Europe. In this league, there are outstanding centers such as Pavel Pogrebnyak and Chen Yingxiong. Victory in the competition with them. And not just a top scorer in the league, he also broke the record of the Russian Premier League.

This makes everyone feel that Chen Yingxiong’s Golden Boot Award is full of gold.

But Moyes actually ignored a top scorer in the Russian league. It's really... so outrageous!

The Chinese media should beat the drums and complain for Chen Yingxiong.

"Yes, I know he is the top scorer in the Russian Premier League this season. But I haven't watched the video of his playing in Russia... In short, he is also a very strong player. His physical fitness Very good. But we have two equally good central defenders..."

When Moss was answering this question, his eyes were a little erratic.

This shows that his mind is not on this question, and the answer is completely subconscious, without any deep thought at all.

It also shows that he doesn't really value Chen Yingxiong.

Must the top scorer of the Russian Premier League be very powerful? Moyes didn't believe in these honor rolls, he only believed in what he saw with his own eyes. The fact is that he saw Chen Yingxiong in the UEFA Cup with his own eyes, and he showed that the reality is very ordinary.

If it's just a game whose performance is average, it can also be explained as the ups and downs of the state, but almost the state of the game is average. What does this mean?

It shows that he lacks experience in dealing with UEFA Cup games.

It's no big deal to go sideways in the domestic league. Moyes sees a lot of players who are experts in the civil war and laymen in the foreign war.

Chinese reporters can certainly hear what Moyes' subtext is.

But they couldn't refute Moyes's "contempt."

Because Chen Yingxiong performed bravely in the domestic league, the gods blocked and killed the gods, and the Buddha blocked the Buddha. But in the UEFA Cup, the shot performance is really lacking.

Just one goal, although it is a key goal, it seems like a missed goal...

Well, in the time they interviewed Chen Yingxiong and his contact, they have gradually figured out this person's temper. Moyes "looked down" on him so much, wondering how he would react after learning about it?

What these Chinese reporters can expect now is that Chen Yingxiong can show convincing performance in this game to conquer all those who question him, especially for Moyes to admit that he has taken a blind eye. Then they will be happy to mention the name Chen Yingxiong to him in the press conference after the game.

Speaking of face slap...they Chinese reporters have not seen any Chinese athletes who are better than Chen Yingxiong...

This Chinese player doesn't seem to have any Chinese "traditional virtues". He is arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant. He is arrogant... If these characteristics are taken out alone, there is hardly a likable one.

But put together, combined with Chen Yingxiong, a 19-year-old boy, when you stand on the same front with him, you will... just like these Chinese reporters now, love him to death!

He provides a channel for people who usually look serious and need to be bound by various restrictions at all times.

Everyone will feel refreshed when he sees him celebrating wildly after scoring a goal, hitting those who look down on him in the face, provoking rival fans, and saying arrogant to unscrupulous words.

Because everyone has that crazy idea in their minds, but not everyone can express it without burden, Chen Yingxiong can. Those who can't, put their feelings on this big man.

It's cool to see him slap others in the face, as if he slapped people whom he couldn't understand.

"Hey, hero. Obviously, you are underestimated!" Inside the team, Eric Hagen, a Norwegian, said to Chen Yingxiong, pointing to the newspaper.

The newspaper is Moyes's press conference the day before the game.

Moyes talked a lot. About Zenit, he talked about a few players he cared about, Arshavin, Domingos, Timoshchuk and Skortel, among them. There is no Chen Yingxiong's name.

Chen Yingxiong pouted his lips.

He also knows that his performance in the UEFA Cup is horrible. Although he scored a goal, he did not get rid of the impression that he was "experienced in civil war and outsider in foreign war".

But the opponent coach also despised himself so much... Well, he suddenly felt that this was a good thing.

So he laughed.

"It's okay, Eric. I wish he would continue to look down on me now, so just ignore me!"

"Huh?" The honest man Hagen didn't react.

Denisov, who was still Chen Yingxiong's good roommate, understood his friend's thoughts. "The hero is holding a stomach of bad water and wants to embarrass the opponent in the game, right?" He patted Chen Yingxiong on the shoulder.

Chen Yingxiong gave him a thumbs up, indicating that he was right.

"Do you think about how to celebrate after scoring? Is it possible to...slap in the face?" Scott asked seeing Chen Yingxiong full of confidence.

"Of course not." Chen Yingxiong shook his head. "I want to celebrate in front of Moyes, I want him to be unable to ignore me!" He pointed to himself with his thumb.

Arshavin was with the other teammates. He saw the appearance of Chen Yingxiong and smiled and said to Timoshchuk and Domingos: "Moyes did a great job. He successfully angered a giant bear! Haha!"

Domingos and Timoschuk also laughed.

What is Chen Yingxiong’s abilities? His teammates have never doubted, especially after he broke the record of Veretennikov. Everyone believes that this kid is absolutely capable of doing whatever he wants to do. .

Before the season, he said to be the best scorer, to create his own era, was ridiculed by others. The results of it? In the league, he kept slapping people, every time he scored a goal, he drew a total of 27.

He became the top scorer. As for his own era? Everyone thinks that if it continues to develop like this, he will really be named among the top centers of world football in the future.

In this game, Zenit had to win, angering the heroes to be good for Zenit, but to Moyes' Everton.

It's a pity that those proud British people really don't know what their opponents are...
