Chapter 132 I want to win the championship!
No matter how much Chen Yingxiong wants to get angry, he can't get angry immediately, because the League Cup group stage has come to an end and the league is coming again!
He can only vent his depression of not scoring in the League Cup so far into the league.
Fortunately, he is not lacking in motivation.
He has scored twenty-three goals in the league scorer list, only two goals away from the original record.
On October 28, Sparta's match in Moscow was on the same day as St. Petersburg, but Sparta's kick-off was four and a half hours ahead of Zenit.
So before preparing for the game, Zenit's players watched the game in front of the TV.
When the game ended, Zenit's players cheered.
"marvelous!"
"Oh yeah!"
"Beautiful job, Saturn!"
They were cheering, and at the same time, the excitement of the commentator Hirgeevsky came from the TV screen.
"The match ends! The draw! After a dull ninety minutes, Sparta Moscow won a draw! 0:0, neither side scored a goal! What does this mean? This means that as long as St. Petersburg Zenit wins in a later game, they can expand their lead to four points! With two rounds left in the league, four points means that they are likely to win the league championship trophy one round ahead of schedule!"
"The first league champion of the Russian era in St. Petersburg is right in front of you!"
Hirgeevsky was very excited. As a commentator in St. Petersburg, of course he supported his hometown team.
"The Super League champion has always been monopolized by Moscow's teams. Now, it's time to change the dynasty!"
"For the next game, it depends on you, Zenit's boys! Victory belongs to blue, white and blue! Victory belongs to St. Petersburg!!"
Zenit did not disappoint the passionate commentator, nor did St. Petersburg fans who were waiting for the outcome of the game in front of the TV.
On the road, St. Petersburg Zenit defeated Nalchiksparta 3-0. Chen Yingxiong scored a goal in the game, expanding his goals this season to twenty-four, only one step away from the original record of twenty-five goals.
At this time, there are two rounds left in the league. The gap between Chen Yingxiong and Pavliuchenko is three goals. Pavliuchenko is not without a chance to overtake Chen Yingxiong and win the league's best scorer. But Chen Yingxiong's chance of not scoring a goal in the next two rounds is too small. As long as Chen Yingxiong scores one goal, Pavliuchenko's hope will be slim.
It can even be said that Pavlyuchenko has already lost in this battle for the best scorer.
With St. Petersburg media, they can't wait to announce that the league's top scorer belongs to Chen Yingxiong.
"There is no suspense anymore. Chen Yingxiong will definitely win the best scorer of the season! The only suspense now is whether he can break Verjenikov's 25-goal record!"
After the game, Chen Yingxiong was surrounded by the media.
Everyone wants to hear what he thinks about scoring twenty-four goals.
Chen Yingxiong has now left Pavliuchenko behind him, but he is not satisfied.
"It's not over yet. There are two rounds left in the league. I have to get as much as I can!"
He pointed at the camera lens, as arrogant and arrogant as ever.
Pavliuchenko was very depressed during this period. He thought he had become the first person to score more than 20 goals in the Russian Super League in the 21st century, and he could win the league's top scorer, but he didn't expect that he would be like a hornet's nest. Chen Yingxiong scored like crazy. He scored one goal, but he had to score more. He had already scored twenty-four, so how much should he scored more? Breaking the record of the Russian Super League scorer list with 25 goals?
He doesn't think it's good to have a strong opponent at all now.
Those who hope to have a strong opponent will always win in the end. But whether they can win in the end is now a big problem. This powerful enemy is not a setting off his stronger background, but a real enemy who may surpass him and become the protagonist...
The teammates saw that Pavlyuchenko was not in high spirits and also knew why he was not in high spirits.
Now the team's hopes of winning the league championship are becoming increasingly slim. If you can't even get the league's top scorer, this season will be a waste of money.
Therefore, in the last two rounds of the league, in addition to trying to win every game and continuing to catch up with Zenit, we must also try our best to help Pavlyuchenko win the best scorer.
At present, neither of these goals is so easy to achieve.
"Hey, Roman, don't worry! We will all help you!" The person who spoke was Pavlyuchenko's friend in the team, Brazilian midfielder Mozart.
"You're welcome, Roman! You're the best!"
"Yes, we will all support you!"
"To be honest, I don't like that hero at all... I'm so arrogant. How many seasons have he entered the professional league? He is so arrogant. I don't know where he got his confidence..."
"In order not to let such arrogant people win the league's top scorer, we will all help you, Roman!"
The teammates also echoed.
Pavlyuchenko gave a smile.
"Thank you."
He was grateful for his teammates' help, although he didn't know if it would be useful.
At the same time, in Zenit, Chen Yingxiong was also blessed by his teammates.
"Twenty-four goals, hero! One goal is missing! One goal is missing, you will tie Verjenikov's record!"
Denisov shouted exaggeratedly.
"Although I admire Verjennikov very much, I am very happy to see his record pass by in your hands." Kerzakov patted Chen Yingxiong.
"The league champion is ours, and the league's top scorer is ours!"
Chen Yingxiong grinned and smiled happily: "Don't worry! It must have broken the record!"
The last two rounds of the league are left, and the 29th round of the league championship will be decided. As long as Zenit can continue to win, no matter what Sparta achieved in Moscow, Zenit will win the championship one round ahead of schedule. After all, they are now three-pointers ahead of Sparta and have an advantage in goal difference. Even if Zenit loses the game in the last round and Sparta wins, both sides score the same point and compete for goal difference, Sparta will not have an advantage.
Unless Zenit loses two consecutive games, or draws and loses one after another in the remaining two rounds of the league, and Sparta Moscow wins two consecutive games, there will be a chance to reverse the championship.
But the chance of this is too small. Zenit is in such a good state now, and the chance of losing one game is very small, let alone losing two games.
The league championship is about to be decided, but there is still enough suspense for the competition for the top scorer in the league. Chen Yingxiong is currently three goals ahead of Pavliuchenko. However, before this game, the players of Sparta Moscow said they would do their best to support Pavliuchenko and Chen Yingxiong to score goals. Sparta's head coach Stanislav cherchesov also expressed support for Pavliuchenko - now the whole Spartan team knows that there is little hope for winning the league championship. The only thing they can do is to push Pavliuchenko to the throne of the league's scorer king. Only in this way can we not lose too ugly - we can't compete for you collective honor, and our personal honor must be ours!
With the whole team supporting Pavlyuchenko, the battle for the best scorer will naturally be interesting.
The time has come November 3rd, the 29th round of the league, and the moment that determines the team's fate.
Starting from this league round, all teams' kick-off time is unified, just to prevent some bad situations from happening.
St. Petersburg Zenit and Moscow Sparta, both teams competing for the league championship, are at home.
If Zenit wins, the home court will immediately become a sea of joy.
In fact, Zenit fans are ready to celebrate the league championship at this time of the game.
“We are ready to celebrate this historic moment!”
"We've been waiting for too long!"
"The champion belongs to blue, white and blue! The champion belongs to Zenit!"
Before the game started, Zenit fans in the stands were already shouting slogans at the top of their voices, creating a very strong and enthusiastic home atmosphere.
"Listen to the shouts in the stands, I bet that in such an atmosphere, the young men of Zenit from St. Petersburg will do their best!"
Commentator Hirgeevsky started his work early, and the game attracted much attention, so he, as a commentator, could not neglect him.
Meanwhile, in the locker room in Zenit, St. Petersburg.
"This is a very important game, boys." Edvorkat is making the final pre-war mobilization for everyone. "You should know better than me what the league championship means to the team Zenit in St. Petersburg and the city of St. Petersburg."
"How long did it take for us to win the league championship last time? 1984! That's really... a distant memory. At that time, some of you probably haven't been born yet. Now you have the opportunity to reappear such distant glory!"
"As long as we win this game, we don't have to consider how our opponents are, we don't have to be half-hearted and have distracting thoughts. As long as we win the ball, we will be the league champion!"
"Guys! Why are we working hard for a season?!" Al Shavin shouted.
"champion!"
"Champion! Of course, the champion!"
"We want to be the league champion!!"
The team members responded to him with a passionate roar. Many people even stood up from their seats and looked around in the locker room, clenching their fists, looking particularly excited.
Chapter completed!
