Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty One

Arshavin's goal shocked Moyes from his seat. He waved his fist angrily and was not very satisfied with the performance of the team's back line.

But who can he blame?

He did not expect that the No. 99 player was so vigorous and had been selected for the England adult national team's future England defender Lescott, he could not turn over by him, full of fear. The loss of the ball just now was because Lescott cared too much about Chen Yingxiong, so he withdrew with Chen Yingxiong. As a result, this withdrawal just pulled out the space for Arshavin.

Let him shoot successfully.

So in the final analysis, Chen Yingxiong is the key to this goal!

Moyes sat back in the chair again, and suddenly he was no longer angry.

He looked at the hero Chen who was hugging and celebrating with his teammates on the field, and admitted his mistake.

I have always been very accurate when I look at young players, but I didn’t expect to look away from this person...

What else can he say?

Acknowledge it.

There are still more than ten minutes before the end of the game, but Moyes is very puzzled by the situation in front of him-he lacks understanding of the big man, and is completely unclear about what he is good at. Without understanding, naturally there will be no targeted strategy. How to clean up Chen Yingxiong can only rely on the players on the court. But Lescott has proved with practical actions that he can't stop Chen Yingxiong...

Now that the opponent is leading the score, there is more reason to retract and fight back. There is a hero Chen in front. He doesn't need him to shoot. As long as he can protect the football for 30 seconds, it can consume half a minute of game time. If this accumulation continues, the time becomes less and less, and it will only be more powerful for Zenit.

And a little bit... Moyes thought of the dense Christmas schedule, and he had to take it into consideration. It is not a problem to qualify for the UEFA Cup group, and it is only the number one in the group. The domestic league is obviously more important than qualifying in the group.

So if you try your best to win a UEFA Cup group match, but lose your team in a densely scheduled league, it will not be worth it...

Thinking of this, Moyes made his first substitution of the game.

He replaced Andy Johnson with Thomas Gravesen.

To reduce a forward and add a midfielder, the intention is obvious...

Everton is going to defend!

After seeing this substitution of Moyes, Ed Wocart flashed a smile on his face. He knew he was right. After dragging the game to this point, Everton had to consider the domestic league. Zenit has ended the domestic league, they don't need to think about anything except the UEFA Cup!

The substitution of Moyes basically declared that the game has gradually lost its suspense.

Although Everton is still attacking and wants to score goals, as more players return to the defense, Zenit's barrel formation has been deployed. In the end, only Chen Yingxiong was left outside, and the others paid a visit back, surrounding the goal guarded by Malafeyev, and even a sparrow could not fly in.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Zenit's substitute players rushed into the court. They threw away everything they could throw in their hands and threw their arms at their teammates.

They qualify!

With eight points, they have led Alkmaar and Nuremberg by more than a quarter. In the final round, no matter what the result is, it has nothing to do with them! And if you are lucky, maybe they can get the first place in the group, thus avoiding those strong teams that have been eliminated from the Champions League group stage.

Ed Wocart did not follow the bench players to celebrate, but walked to Moyes and shook hands with him.

Moyes looked helpless in the face of this result.

However, the fate of the final round can still be in their own hands. As long as they play Alkmaar in the last round of the away game, they will return to the top of the group stage with nine points. Qualify? They also qualified early.

After the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Chen Yingxiong raised his arms and shouted.

The group stage is over and they have qualified. He has been looking forward to the knockout stage for a long time!

The live TV footage always followed him. Obviously, he was the best player in this game, and this was also the first time he won the UEFA Cup match.

"The game is over! Everton lost unbelievably to Zenit St. Petersburg at his home court... And the hero of Zenit St. Petersburg's victory in this match is the one in front of him-Hero Chen! He is here! In the game, he completed a goal and an assist, and he was very active. Now thinking about Moyes’s attitude towards him before the game, we can know that Moyes did not lose to Zenit in this game, but to Chen. hero!"

"I believe that after this game, more people in Europe will know that there is such a player in Zenit St. Petersburg. He is wearing a jersey No. 99. He is 1.92 meters tall and weighs 98 kilograms..." Or Russian State Television. The information is accurate and updated in a timely manner. They all know the new weight of Chen Yingxiong, but UEFA is still unclear. "He is the top scorer in the Russian Premier League this season, scoring 27 goals in one season! What's even more terrifying is that...with so many outstanding results, he is only...19 years old this year! Yes! Nineteen years old! At the age of nineteen he became the top scorer in the league and broke the record. How many people can do this at this age?"

Yuri Petrov gave all the words of praise to this young center.

Although he has only scored two goals in the UEFA Cup so far, no one can deny that he will have a very good future.

After the game, in the visiting team locker room of the humble Goodison Park Stadium, Chen Yingxiong and his teammates indulged in celebrating this hard-won victory. Lombartes, who was sent off with a red card 30 minutes in the first half, burst into tears again. But this time it was not tears of sadness, but tears of joy.

His red card did not cause the team to lose, he was redeemed by Chen Yingxiong.

This time they can indulge in celebration, because their 2007 is over. Flying back to St. Petersburg from here, the team will be disbanded for a holiday.

The reunion will be in January next year.

"Next year! Let us go further in the UEFA Cup!" Chen Yingxiong, naked to the upper body, not feeling cold at all, jumped in the crowd, shouting loudly.

The players reveled unscrupulously in the locker room.

The head coach will also be bombarded by reporters at the press conference, especially Moyes...

Losing to Zenit at home, the result was not good. The hero Chen, who did not attract his attention before the game, became the biggest highlight of the game. After the game, the reporters must have a lot to say to him, especially those from Chinese reporters...

In fact, they are already gearing up and can't wait to get the press conference to begin sooner.

When Moyes appeared at the press conference, the noise disappeared, and everyone turned their attention to the famous young coach in England.

"We lost, there is nothing to say. The responsibility for losing this game lies with me..." As soon as he took his seat, Moyes took the initiative to recruit. "I don't know enough about our opponent..."

As soon as they entered the free questioning time, a group of Chinese reporters raised their arms high and straight.

Seeing this situation, there was a burst of laughter at the press conference.

The confrontation between Moyes and Chinese reporters at the pre-match press conference is still fresh in the memory of these old people who have been following the game. At that time, when Moyes faced the problems of Chinese journalists, he basically said "your hero Chen is a civil war expert and a foreign war expert".

Now seeing these Chinese journalists raising their hands enthusiastically, it is clear that they want to get back in revenge.

The press officer also laughed, and then he lived up to expectations and ordered a Chinese reporter up.

"Hello, Mr. Moyes. Can I ask you to re-evaluate the top scorer in the Russian League this season?"

This is a naked face slap!

This group of reporters followed Chen Yingxiong for a long time, and they have also lost their studies...or that these people are already in a bad mood, but it is Chen Yingxiong who has successfully stimulated their potential.

When Moyes heard this question, he didn't look embarrassed, but laughed: "He performed very well in this game today. The best proof in the game is the best proof. I know he is only nineteen years old. He is a man. A player with a bright future. Of course...he has to stay in this state all the time..."

Obviously, Moyes was convinced by Chen Yingxiong's performance.

Now, the Chinese media are satisfied.

But Moyes still has to face the problem of Chen Yingxiong, because the Russian media and the English media are very concerned about the best of this field...

When Ed Wocart appeared at the press conference, the problems he faced were almost the same as those of Moyes.

Everyone wants to hear how the head coach of Chen Yingxiong evaluates his disciples.

"It's very simple. All you need to know is that he scored 27 goals in the Russian Premier League this season, and these 27 goals were scored in 28 league games."

Ed Wocart used data to illustrate the problem, which seemed very convincing.

When Chen Yingxiong and his teammates left this famous British city, those English media who knew little about him before were spreading his name, and the photo of him showing his tattoo in front of Moyes appeared very arrogant. .

At the same time, it has very visual impact and is very eye-catching.

Liverpool’s local media "Echo" has the headline-

"This is a bear from the north! 》

Chen Yingxiong, was officially introduced to the country of origin of modern football.

Although it's just a back view.

But his arrogance, his arrogance, and the giant bear behind him are already known to everyone.
