Chapter 63 Goal drought? What is goal drought?
"…Mr. Gasayev, is your team ready for the weekend match against Zenit?"
"Yes, it's ready. We attach great importance to this game. Zenit is not a casual opponent..."
On TV, an interview with Moscow's CSKA head coach Valeri Gasayev is being played.
The CSKA Moscow's home match against St. Petersburg Zenit has been determined to be a national live broadcast, and this game has attracted much attention.
There are more and more news programs about the two teams before the game, and the atmosphere of a war is coming is gradually becoming clear.
"Mr. Gasayev, have you found a way to deal with Chen Yingxiong?" asked a reporter.
Chen Yingxiong, who was calling his father, was also attracted by the words on the TV, and he turned his attention to the TV screen.
"I think... this is no secret, right?" Gasayev laughed.
The laughter of reporters was clearly heard from the TV.
Laughing at your sister!
Chen Yingxiong cursed in his heart.
But he was still saying to his father: "...It's cold in Russia, and it snowed yesterday. I wanted to go out to play, but it turned out to be so cold..."
It is normal for Sichuan people to never see Xue. Chen Yingxiong wanted to rush in and run wild when he saw Xue for the first time, but he was so cold that he rolled back to the house.
"I also took a lot of photos, snow scenes! It's so beautiful. I told you dad, you and mom should really come to St. Petersburg for fun... Oh, it's not cold or cold, so I'll go out and have a cold. There are heating and air conditioning in the house. What's the cold? Oh, by the way, dad. We'll have a league again tomorrow. Who do you think the opponent is this time?"
While Chen Tao was preparing to close the store, he chatted with his son on the phone.
"Oh, come on! Which one is it?"
"CSKA Moscow! Hehe!" Chen Yingxiong laughed excitedly.
Chen Tao was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Do you still remember it?"
"Why don't you remember? Of course you have to remember! I told you dad, I still remember that account. Finally, I found an opportunity to calculate it."
"Ahem..." Chen Tao coughed. "You..."
"Don't worry, dad, revenge is limited to football."
Chen Tao had nothing to say.
After Chen Yingxiong turned off the phone, he continued to stare at the TV screen.
The one who is now on the stage is Zenit's head coach Edvocart, and this news program is broadcasting a press conference before the game between the two sides in the afternoon.
The topic still revolves around Chen Yingxiong.
Who told him that he had suddenly risen and suddenly became silent before, which made the media very interested?
"Now many teams have claimed that they have found a way to deal with heroes. What do you think about this?"
"Nothing to say," Edvorkat said.
"So will you arrange the heroes on the starting roster? Tektronix has made a comeback quickly. Will he play in tomorrow's game?"
"I won't disclose the team's starting list." Edvocart was very careful not to let others get information. "You will get this list an hour before the game."
His answer was of course very disappointing to the reporters.
Chen Yingxiong laughed.
Edvorkat has just announced the team's starting list. Just as Edvorkat promised him before, his name is on the list, and Tektronix is in the bench.
There is no suspense about this issue now.
The coach of the CSKA, please wait for me!
These days, more and more journalists have come to the training ground, even far exceeding the previous match between Zenit and Sparta Moscow.
CSKA Moscow is currently ranked first in the league and is likely to win the league title. St. Petersburg Zenit has a star player like Arshavin.
Of course, the showdown between the two sides will attract attention.
Chen Yingxiong also accepted an interview with the media - although he slapped the St. Petersburg media in public during the game, they soon "reconciled". Chen Yingxiong needs to be famous, while the media likes this player who can always make some noise - who would report on those good gentlemen who honestly go home to accompany their wives and children after training every day?
Of course, these media questions still made Chen Yingxiong very upset... For example: "Hero, will you start in the game against CSKA Moscow?"
"Is it related to not scoring consecutive goals when you haven't been to nightclubs during this period?"
Chen Yingxiong cursed in his heart: Mom, you say you go to a nightclub, and you don’t want to go to a nightclub!
Although he did not score goals, Chen Yingxiong was still very tough in front of the media.
He looked straight: "Whether I score a goal or not has anything to do with whether I go to a nightclub. Nightclub is my personal hobby in my spare time, and scoring a goal is my job. Can you tell the difference between working hours and personal time?"
His rhetorical questions left the reporters speechless...
Chen Yingxiong had a dream, dreaming that no matter how hard he tried, he could not score a goal in the game against CSKA Moscow. He tried a new long shot, but the football flew straight into the sky. After a while, an airplane fell outside the stadium...
When he woke up, he still clearly remembered his feelings in his dreams. When he found that the first half was about to end and he had not scored a goal, he was anxious. The fans in the stands were still calling him a "". Unwillingness and anger burned like flames, and eventually swallowed him up.
Then he transformed into a fire-covered Hellfire and razed the entire Dynamo Stadium in Moscow to the ground!
Then he laughed in the sky that was red with flames, "Don't let me score? I won't make you even play the game! Ah hahaha!"
There were crowds of people screaming and running around in scattered ways. He looked down at the group of pitiful ants and laughed at the sky again.
Then…and then he woke up.
"What the hell is this mess..." Chen Yingxiong shook his head.
However, when he found that the first half was almost over and he had not scored a goal, the mood was very clear and real, so that he was still a little dazed after waking up - was it the dream just now or the dream now?
After looking at the table at the bedside, it was basically time to get up.
Chen Yingxiong was too lazy to sleep, so he turned over and got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
This dream was too unlucky, so he decided to wash it off.
His roommate Denisov was still tossing and turning on the bed, and his mouth was often whispered or two.
In Moscow, the night is particularly long.
When Chen Yingxiong finished washing up and stood in front of the window, the world outside the glass window was still dark. You should know that it was already past eight o'clock at this time - it was eight o'clock in the morning, not eight o'clock in the evening.
The street lights are still on, making every street lights brightly, and the buildings in the distance are also on.
The city is gradually awakening.
Against the backdrop of the light, Chen Yingxiong found something floating past his window.
He climbed up and looked closer and found it was... snowflakes!
It’s snowing!
He looked down... He said why the street lights were so bright, it turned out that the snow on the ground reflected!
It has accumulated snow, which means that it has been falling for quite some time.
Is there a snow battle today?
Chen Yingxiong frowned. Although he had seen snow, he had never played in the snow. St. Petersburg was far north than Moscow and had already snowed. So far, there had been two snow, and the second snow was particularly heavy. Even when the team was training, they could only be played in the indoor training ground.
Playing in such weather is full of too many unknowns he didn't know before.
For example, the situation of the venue, will it make your limbs stiff if it is too cold?
But there is one thing he is very sure of. That is, even if there is hail in the sky, he will complete his revenge in this game!
The Dynamo Stadium, home stadium of CSKA Moscow, is right in front of it, and it is hard to see clearly in the night. Chen Yingxiong saw it during the day yesterday, and he stared in that direction.
Hope they haven't forgotten me yet.
"...This is the second snowfall in Moscow this year. It started falling last night and continued until this morning. Judging from this, I may have to continue falling... Today's game was 100% kicked in the snow..."
On the bus to the stadium, the local TV station was playing the radio. The host talked about today's game and weather. His tone did not feel shocked. Looking at his teammates around him, he also expressed calmness about the weather.
It seems that Russian people are used to playing football games in the snow and ice.
The sky outside the car window is a little dark, even in the afternoon, it is no different from the evening... But speaking of this, the winter day in Moscow is short, it is dawn at around 9 am and it is dark after 4 pm...
Chen Yingxiong was not used to spending the winter here at first. After it got dark that day, he always thought it was too late, but he didn't expect it to be only four or five in the afternoon.
This made his biological clock a little disordered. Fortunately, he adapted now, otherwise he would definitely feel hungry now...
Although the snow is not small, Chen Yingxiong still saw many fans along the way, either driving or hiking towards the stadium.
Among these people are also those fans who are thinly dressed and hold wine bottles in their hands.
They wore red CSKA jerseys and saw Zenit's car coming, they sang loudly and gave the middle finger to the car.
Judging from the fans' reactions, this game is definitely not friendly.
But this has nothing to do with Chen Yingxiong. He is here to make trouble for the CSKA Moscow today.
Fortunately, the snow was not too heavy today, and the snow on the road was not deep, and it was not yet enough to seriously affect the car's driving, so I arrived at the competition venue smoothly along the way.
Getting out of the bus with air conditioning turned on, Chen Yingxiong shrank his neck so much that he was frozen.
In the parking space, although the weather was very cold, many reporters were still waiting for them. They were also wrapped tightly. However, when they saw the players get off the car, they all regained their vitality and rushed up one after another.
Edvorkat, Al Shawen and... Chen Yingxiong became the focus of the media's pursuit.
Edvorkat is the team's head coach, and Arshavin is the team's number one star, so it is natural for them to be chased by the media. Chen Yingxiong is chased by the media because of his ups and downs.
"You have not scored goals in four consecutive league rounds. Do you have encountered a goal drought?"
Chapter completed!
