Chapter 63: Goal Shortage? What is a goal drought?
“…… Mr. Gasaev, is your team ready for the weekend game against Zenit? ”
"Yes, it's ready. We take this game very seriously, and Zenit is not an opponent that can be played casually......"
An interview with CSKA Moscow head coach Valery Gasayev was being shown on television.
CSKA Moscow's home match against Zenit St. Petersburg has been confirmed to be broadcast nationally and the match is in high demand.
There were more and more news programs about the two teams before the game, and an atmosphere of imminent big war became apparent.
"May I ask Mr. Gasayev, have you found a way to deal with Chen Yingying?" A reporter asked.
Chen Yingying, who was calling his father, was also attracted by this sentence on the TV, and he turned his gaze to the TV screen.
"I want to ...... It's no secret, is it? Gasayev laughed.
The laughter of the reporters was clearly heard on the television.
Laugh at your sister!
Chen Yingying scolded 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 and play, but it froze me enough......"
It's normal for Sichuan people to never see snow, and Chen Yingying wanted to rush in to spread the wild when he saw snow for the first time, but he was frozen and obediently rolled back to the house.
"I also took a lot of photos of the snow! It's beautiful, I'll tell you Dad, you and Mom should really come to St. Petersburg to have fun...... Oops, it's not cold, it's not cold, it's cold when you go out, there's heating and air conditioning in the house, what's cold? Oh, yes, Dad. Tomorrow we have another league. Guess who the opponent is this time? ”

Chen Tao was preparing to close the store while chatting with his son on the phone.
"Oh, come on! Which is it? ”
"CSKA Moscow! Hey! Chen Yingying laughed excitedly.
Chen Tao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Do you still remember?" ”
"Why don't you remember? Remember, of course! I'll tell you Dad, I still remember that account, and I finally found a chance 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 Yingying turned off the phone, he continued to stare at the TV screen.
Now on the field is Zenit head coach Advocaat, and the news program shows the pre-match press conference between the two sides in the afternoon.
The topic still revolves around Chen Yingxing.
Who told him that his sudden rise and sudden silence before made the media very interested?
"Now that a lot of teams have claimed that they have found a way to deal with their heroes, what do you think about that?"
"I don't think so." Advocaat shook his head.
"So will you still put a hero in the starting lineup? Tyke is back in the air, will he be playing in tomorrow's game? ”
"I'm not going to reveal the team's starting lineup." Advocaat was very careful not to let others get their hands on the information. "You'll get this list an hour before the game."
His answer, of course, disappointed the reporters.
Chen Yingying smiled.
Advocaat has just announced the team's starting lineup, and as Advocaat promised him before, his name is prominently listed, and Tyke is on the bench.
This question is now out of suspense.
That coach of CSKA, you wait for Lao Tzu!
These days, more and more journalists have come to the training ground, even more than in the previous match between Zenit and Spartak Moscow.
CSKA Moscow currently sits first in the league and has a good chance of winning the league. And Zenit St. Petersburg has star players like Arshavin.
Of course, the duel between the two sides will be very eye-catching.
Chen Yingying also gave an interview to the media - although he had slapped the St. Petersburg media in public during the match, they soon "reconciled". Chen Yingying needs to be famous, and the media likes this player who can always make a little move - who wants to report on those good gentlemen who honestly go home to spend time with their wives and children after training every day?
Of course, these media questions still make Chen Yingying very unhappy...... For example: "Excuse me, hero, will you start against CSKA Moscow?" ”
"You haven't been to a nightclub for a while, is it related to the streak of not scoring goals?"
Chen Yingying scolded in his heart: Damn, you say it when you go to the nightclub, and you say it if you don't go to the nightclub!
Although he continued not to score, Chen Yingying was still very tough in front of the media.
He straightened his face: "Whether I score or not has nothing to do with whether I go to a nightclub or not." Clubbing is my personal hobby in my spare time, and scoring goals is my job. Can you tell the difference between working hours and personal time? ”
His rhetorical question left the reporters speechless......
※※※
Chen Yingying had a dream that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't score in the match against CSKA Moscow, and he tried his newly learned long-range shot, and as a result, the football flew straight into the sky, and after a while, a plane fell from outside the stadium......
When he woke up, he remembered how he felt in his dream - he was so anxious when he found out that the first half was about to end and he hadn't scored yet. The fans in the stands are still calling him a "**". Unwillingness and anger burned like a flame, and finally engulfed him whole.
Then he turned into a burning hellfire and razed the entire Dynamo Moscow stadium to the ground!
Then he raised his head and laughed under the sky reddened by flames: "Don't let me score? I can't even play the game! Ahahahaha! ”
Beneath his feet was a crowd screaming and fleeing, and he looked down at the poor ant-like insects. He looked up to the sky and laughed again.
And then...... Then he woke up.
"What the is this mess...... "Chen Yingying shook his head.
However, when he found that the first half was almost over, and he had not scored yet, the mood was very, very clear and real, so that he woke up in a trance - was it a dream just now, or is it a dream now?
I looked at the bedside watch, and it was basically time to get up.
Chen Yingying was too lazy to sleep, he turned over and got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
The dream was so bad that he decided to wash it away.
His roommate, Denisov, was still tossing and turning in bed, and from time to time a dream or two came out of his mouth.
※※※
Winter in Moscow, the nights are unusually long.
When Chen Yingying finished washing up and stood in front of the window, the world outside the glass window was still pitch black. You know, it's past eight o'clock -- it's eight in the morning, not eight in the evening.
The street lights were still on, illuminating every street, and the buildings in the distance were lit up.
The city is gradually waking up.
Under the light, Chen Yingying noticed something floating in front of his window.
He climbed up and took a closer look, and saw that it was...... Snowflakes!
It's snowing!
He looked down again...... He was talking about how the light of the street lamp was so bright, it turned out to be reflected by the snow on the ground!
It's all snow, which means that the next time is not short.
Do you want a snow battle today?
Chen Yingying frowned, although he had seen snow, he had never played in the snow before. St. Petersburg is further north than Moscow, and it has long been snowing. So far, there have been two snowfalls, the second of which was particularly heavy. When the team trains, it can only be done on the indoor training ground.
Playing in such weather is full of too many unknowns that he didn't know before.
For example, the condition of the venue, will it stiffen your limbs if it is too cold......
But one thing he was sure of was that. That is, even if there is hail in the sky, he will complete his revenge in this game!
The Dynamo Stadium, the home of CSKA Moscow, is just ahead, and it is not clear in the night. Chen Yingying saw it during the day yesterday, and he stared in that direction.
I hope they haven't forgotten me as a person.

“…… This is the second snow of the year in Moscow, and it has been falling since last night and into this morning...... Today's game was 100 per cent in the snow......"
On the bus to the stadium, the radio was playing a local TV program, and the host talked about today's game and the weather. The tone was not startled, and then looked at the teammates around him, and he also expressed calmness about the weather.
It seems that Russians are used to playing football games in the snow and ice.
The sky outside the car window was a little gray, and even in the afternoon, it was no different from the evening...... However, the winter days in Moscow are already short, with dawn after 9 a.m. and darkness after 4 p.m.......
Chen Yingying was not used to spending the winter here at first. When it got dark, he always thought it was very late, but he didn't expect it to be four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
This made his biological clock a little disorganized, but fortunately he was getting used to it now, otherwise he would definitely feel hungry by now......
Although the snow was not small, Chen Yingying still saw a lot of fans along the way, and they either drove or walked to the stadium.
Among these people are also fans who are thinly dressed and carry wine bottles in their hands.
Dressed in red CSKA Moscow jerseys, they sang loudly and gave the middle finger to Zenit's car when they saw it coming.
Judging by the reaction of the fans, this game was anything but friendly.
But this has nothing to do with Chen Yingying, he is here today to trouble CSKA Moscow and smash the field.
Fortunately, the snow was not too heavy today, and the snow on the road was not deep, and it was not to the point where it seriously affected the driving of the car, so I arrived at the competition venue smoothly along the way.
Getting out of the air-conditioned bus, Chen Yingying shrank his neck from the cold.
At the parking location, although the weather was very cold, there were still many reporters waiting, who were also tightly wrapped, but when they saw the players get out of the car, they regained their vitality one by one and rushed up.
Advocat, Arshavin, and ...... Chen Yingying has become the focus of the media.
Advocaat is the team's head coach and Arshavin is the team's number one star, and it is only natural that they are being chased by the media. Chen Yingying was chased by the media because of his ups and downs in his performance curve.
"You've not scored in four league games in a row, are you in a goal drought?"
Chen Yingying grinned: "Goal drought? What is a goal drought? ”
