Chapter 163 The miracle is done!
Chapter 163 Miracle is done!
When Chen Yingxiong shot the football out, the French TV commentator said: "Pay attention to the second landing point..."
He thought football would be hit by goalkeeper Mandanda again, so the second landing point would become particularly important. Zenit's players must not get the second landing point.
But this sentence was cut off by reality because he saw the football flying over Mandanda's head, and Mandanda's movements really didn't look like a goalkeeper, which made him feel a little embarrassed - how could the opponent shoot from a long time, but the goalkeeper covered his face with his hands to block it?
He was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Just as he was silent, Hirgeevsky's voice rang.
"gool!! Chen Yingxiong! He scored! The score became 1:3! Zenit was still behind and could not see hope of winning... But it doesn't matter, we saw hope of turning the tables in the next round! This is a precious away goal, priceless! priceless!"
Hirgeevsky soon understood the significance of Chen Yingxiong's ball.
0:3 and 1:3 look similar, but they may make the final result completely different.
The goal Chen Yingxiong tried hard to score was not to allow Zenit to complete the Jedi counterattack in this game, but to allow Zenit to retain a glimmer of vitality when he returned to his home court and have the opportunity to stage a great reversal.
So after the goal, Zenit's bench and the people on the coach's bench rushed out, jumping on the sidelines, raising his arms and shouting.
Everyone knows the importance of this ball!
The French commentator reacted and realized what consequences the ball might have. He said in an annoyed tone: "St. Petersburg Zenit scored the goal in the 81st minute! They won a away goal! This is the only flaw in this game - we should have won easily and not leave any chance for the opponent!"
After scoring the goal, Chen Yingxiong did not rush to the stands where the away team fans were - they were with the home team fans, Marseille fans were below and closer to the stadium, while the away team fans were arranged to the top floor, far from the stadium, in a very remote corner.
Chen Yingxiong took off his jersey, rushed to the bottom of the stands, and turned around, revealing the giant bear tattoo on his back.
In the eyes of Zenit fans, this vivid giant bear can bring them endless confidence, but in the eyes of Marseille fans who are closer to it, it is an absolute ferocious beast! With its fierce face, its open mouth, you can even see saliva and meat residue hanging on its white teeth. The heat it exhales as if it can spray on the face of the person close to it.
The French commentator was startled by the huge giant bear in the camera - he thought it was true... Later, he found out that it was just a tattoo, but it was too lifelike and vivid. As Chen Yingxiong's muscles trembled, the giant bear seemed to be waving its claws...
The French commentator was frightened by the giant bear, but Hirgeevsky laughed: "Ahhh! That's it! The giant bear appears again! I can feel that Zenit's morale is recovering!"
He said it was right, look at the teammates who flocked to celebrate the goal with Chen Yingxiong. They all had excited smiles on their faces, their movements were favorable and their paces were agile.
Such expressions and states were not visible before.
Chen Yingxiong's powerful long-range shot not only shattered the Frenchman's dream of winning three goals, but also woke up his confused teammates.
Now everyone is full of confidence because there is a away goal, and when we return to our home court, we only need to win a 2:0. 2:0 is much easier than 4:0!
"Beautiful job, hero!"
"This ball is so precious!"
"A away goal! Haha! Have you seen the reaction of the person on the Marseille coach's bench?"
"Ohhhh! We are not at a dead end yet!"
A group of teammates went up and patted Chen Yingxiong on the head, shoulders, and back, expressing his joy.
"It's indeed a hero! It's really a hero!" In the bar in St. Petersburg, fans sighed like this.
"He saved the team! Now we have a away goal, and there is hope in the second leg, haha!"
"Great! Long live the hero!"
"Long live the hero!!"
Zenit's celebration finally ended and the game started again. Zenit continued to pursue goals. It is good to score one away goal, but what about two away goals? So what about three away goals?
Of course, the more away goals, the better. Ten or eight are not too few, and 180 are not too many. If you can really score so many away goals, the away goals are really not important, because the score is enough to kill the suspense...
Marseille played very relaxed after leading three goals. When relaxation is reflected in their emotions and psychology, they can play very well and almost control the game. But once they are nervous but relaxed, they are twisted...
So during this period, they wanted to get nervous, but their bodies couldn't keep up with the rhythm. Instead, Zenit, who scored the goal, kept hitting the ball, and almost lost the ball several times...
The Marseille fans who were celebrating the promotion in advance in advance in the stands were all biting their lips and fingers, staring at the stadium nervously, and their hearts almost stopped beating.
"Chen Yingxiong-coming again! Heading! Nearly!"
"The hero's long shot!! It's off..."
"Arshavin also became active. His breakthrough was very beautiful. He made a cross... Krzakov was one step slower, which was a pity!"
"Zenit's offensive is now full of tide. If they score another goal, it's the Marseille's turn to cry!"
Of course, Marseille defended the score in the end. Zenit did not score any more goals, and the game ended with a score of 3:1. The home team Marseille won a victory. Although Zenit failed, he had an away goal. They planted a seed for the next round of the game, hoping that it could sprout and bear fruit.
Marseille fans and players breathed a sigh of relief when the referee blew the final whistle.
Anyway, winning is a good thing. And although Russia cares about this away goal, they think it's no big deal. Leading two goals can still make the opponent turn over? How can you win 3:1 and you still have to be frowning and say that we perform poorly and we have little hope of advancing?
So after the game, the players in Marseille waved their arms to celebrate and responded to the applause of the fans.
Zenit's players quickly left the stadium.
Although there was a away goal, I still lost two goals, and the second leg would be very difficult.
Zenit has been forced into a desperate situation and has no other way except to win the opponent 2:0 at home. The only value of Chen Yingxiong's goal is that Zenit has the qualification to fight against the dead end. Otherwise, they would not even have such qualifications, which would be the real tragedy.
After the game against Zenit, the local media in Marseille were optimistic about the team's prospects. 3:1 at home, so you can defend the away game. A draw is enough for them to advance. Marseille has too many choices and there is a lot of room for maneuver.
It's not as hard as Zenit. He has to win at least two goals at home to have hope, otherwise he will die. But the probability of such a score is too low.
However, the media in St. Petersburg still held the most basic trust in their children's army.
“…We think that when we go back to Petrovsky Stadium, everything is possible…”
In fact, after calming down, the media in St. Petersburg were not particularly optimistic. They looked at the team returning to St. Petersburg with a slight doubt and hesitation.
In Moscow, he was already shrouded in pessimism - it seems that Marseille really wants to complete a career that Napoleon has not completed and completely conquer Russia!
Although Chen Yingxiong scored a goal in the game, the Moscow media felt that it had nothing to do with the overall situation. A away goal could only play a role in a draw. In the final analysis, it depends on the total score. Now the total score is two goals ahead of Marseille. How can Zenit play? When you return to home, you can guarantee that Zenit can win two goals? No one can guarantee it.
I don’t know what the Moscow media is feeling, is it really sad for Zenit’s prospects, or is it just gloating and mocking Moscow’s mortal enemy?
They said: "If Zenit, St. Petersburg, wants to advance, I think I have to pray for a miracle."
So there is still one week before the next round. Will the miracle come as scheduled?
"The miracle is definitely not something you sit here, and then it will come!" This is what Edvorkat stood in the crowd and said to the players around him after the end of the match against Marseille and before the first day of training started when he returned to St. Petersburg.
He did not deny that it was only a miracle to advance, because it would make him feel guilty. It would be no shame to admit that the situation was difficult. Taking advantage of the situation and doing it well would arouse everyone's fighting spirit.
"So we need to practice hard and practice hard! Miracles were created by ourselves, kicked with both feet, and definitely not waiting!"
In Chen Yingxiong's words, it is - "The miracle was done by his mother!"
In order to do a miracle, Chen Yingxiong has also worked hard this week.
The entertainment gossip media in St. Petersburg suddenly found that the reporters who were waiting in the middle of the past few days had no news about Chen Yingxiong entering and leaving the nightclub. Chen Yingxiong was gone in all famous nightclubs and bars in St. Petersburg. After training every day, he would return home and would not go out all night.
The "Little Nightclub Prince" who made all St. Petersburg nightclubs know him honestly?
It seems that the League Cup is really important to him... He did not score or win in the league, so he still went to nightclubs. When the League Cup was in crisis, he immediately became honest.
