Chapter 142 The hero sneezes, and Zenit shuddeers (3150 monthly pass plus update)
Chen Yingying still remembers what Advocaat said when he asked him to go home to rest, and Advocaat himself apparently remembers ().
"Hero, Zenit St. Petersburg is not your team alone. Don't think that the team can't win without you! ”
This sentence is loud and clear.
Advocaat did not have the slightest doubt when he said it, in his opinion, Zenit has excellent players such as Timoshchuk, Domingos, Arshavin, Krzhakov, etc., and it is not easy to win Nuremberg on his home turf?
But he was wrong.
Chen Yingying looked at the TV screen in front of him, his eyes widened, his eyes were about to pop out, and he still couldn't believe what he saw and heard.
"Leon. Undergraduate! Leon. Undergraduate! Eighty-third minute! What an exciting game! Nuremberg equalized away from home! ”
The narrator was yelling.
Chen Yingying didn't mean to cheer for the "exciting game" at all, because his team was equalized.
In the 83rd minute, Zenit, who had a 2-1 lead, was equalized by Nuremberg.
The Petrovsky Stadium fell silent, save for the cheers of the few away fans.
The television broadcast quickly gave Advocaat a close-up of the Dutch head coach standing in the command area, his face grim.
"The main scorer of Zenit in this game, Chen Yingying, was not in the team's squad at all because of a cold and fever, but no one would think that his absence would have any impact on the team (). After all, Zenit has a lot of talented and good players. But the truth is so ironic, Zenit, who lacked Chen Yingying, was equalized by the opponent at his home stadium! ”
"In the game, Zenit got a lot of chances, but they only scored two goals in the end, and now Zenit, who has repeatedly làng fees, has been punished!"
"Chen Yingying's role is not just about scoring goals. The point is that with him up front, Zenit's attack has a direction. When the players come out on the ball, they have a goal and they know what they should do. When he's not playing, Zenit's offense looks like a headless fly, with plenty of shots on goal but not many threats. Zenit had 27 shots before conceding the goal, but only two goals had been scored, and what about Nuremberg? Eleven shots, two goals ......"
"Looking at Advocaat's expression, he must be regretting why he didn't put Chen Yingying on, even if it was in the bench lineup......"
Advocaat did regret a little bit that he didn't put Chen Yingxing on the bench, but the thought was fleeting in his mind.
Now is not the time to regret this.
Faced with such a situation, there is nothing he can do. He's used up all three substitutions, and all that's left for him to do is watch from the sidelines and see how his players manage to take the lead again with their own efforts......
In the absence of the hero...... It's a bit hard.
Damn it!
Why did you think of him again?
Advocaat was very sad to discover a fact - Chen Yingying contracted a cold, and his own team was infected with "Chen Yingxing dependence"......
Chen Yingying sneezed, and his team seemed to catch a cold.
※※※
Chen Yingying didn't know what kind of mood he should be in at this time - his team was forced to draw by the opponent, and the situation of qualifying from the League Cup group was not optimistic. But if the team without their own team is held to a draw, will it make the manager realise the importance of himself?
To be honest, although he knew that what the manager said was true, he was still a little shocked when he was told to his face, "Don't think that the team can't win without you".
He wants to be valued by the team, by the manager, and by everyone.
He wants to be recognised for his important role to the team.
Although he knew that Advocaat hoped that he could go back to recuperate with peace of mind, he was a little unhappy after all.
So when he saw the team being held to a draw, he really didn't know what he was supposed to feel in his heart - well, it's complicated......
But fortunately, there is still one round, the last game against Everton, I will definitely put on the game, and when the time comes, for the team's qualification...... Fight!
Let you see the power of my heroes!

In the final match against Nuremberg, Zenit was not able to score again. The score was fixed at 2:2.
It can be seen that Chen Yingying's teammates are very disappointed.
In an interview with reporters after the game, they all said that they were very sorry that they could not win the game at home.
Advocaat was "besieged" by reporters at the press conference, and of course the conversation revolved around one person.
"May I ask Mr. Advocaat, is the draw in this game related to Chen Yingxing's absence?"
"The hero is not there, the team's offensive means are lacking in change, didn't the team make targeted arrangements before the game?"
"Will the hero's cold and fever still affect his appearance in the game against Everton?"
"Is Zenit suffering from 'hero dependency'?"
……
These questions give Advocaat a headache, and at the same time, he has to keep his own block, only a wry smile ().
"The draw was a surprise...... From the pitch we had the advantage and I regret we didn't win the game...... Hero? He had a cold and fever and didn't train with the team for three days, so I didn't schedule him to play due to his form and fitness...... No, I don't regret it. He has to rest, he's been fighting for a season and he needs to rest. We have one game left and it won't be an easy game away to Everton, but we are confident ......'
"May I ask Mr. Advocata, will Chen Yingying play in the game against Everton?"
“…… I think it will......"
Advocaat finally gave in, he didn't say anything like "I don't know this, I want to see his state at the time" or "I have nothing to say", but directly said the answer, because he didn't want everyone to continue to ask about topics related to Chen Yingying. This is a post-match press conference, not a press conference about Chen Yingxing.
※※※
In fact, after the game, although Advocaat did not admit that there was such a thing as "hero dependence", the media had already analyzed it for him. Zenit is suffering from "hero dependence"!
“…… Before the match against Nuremberg, Chen Yingying caught a cold very unfortunately...... He sneezed, and then Zenit St. Petersburg shivered. And just like that, they were held to a draw at home by Nuremberg......"
"I think Advocaat clearly underestimated the role of heroes in the team. You know, he's more than just a center forward who can score goals...... As long as he is on the pitch, he is a threat to the opposition backline, not only can he score goals himself, but he can also help other team-mates attract the attention of the opposition defence...... Once there are no heroes, Advocaat's team doesn't know how to attack, they lose their direction! ”
"Let's be honest and admit it, Zenit St. Petersburg is now suffering from 'hero dependence'! There's nothing to be ashamed of...... Looking at his stats in the league, would Zenit have won the league title if it weren't for his 27 goals? I look at the hanging ......."
Advocaat looked at the articles in these newspapers and was silent.
He didn't want to admit it, but the truth ruthlessly slapped him in the face.
This makes him a little faceless in front of heroes.
But fortunately, his disciples gave him face......
During the training on the second day, Chen Yingying could feel that Advocaat was a little unnatural when he was face to face with him...... He must have thought of the phrase "don't think that the team can't win without you".
I didn't expect it to be a prophecy, and I really didn't win.
In fact, Chen Yingying is also quite embarrassed...... He's hoping his team has won now......
Therefore, Chen Yingying did not show the slightest expression of "schadenfreude" in front of the head coach - he looked sad, as if he had died of a relative. He didn't joke loudly with his teammates in training - he didn't do this kind of thing before, he was the team's live treasure pistachio.
Advocaat was satisfied with Chen's performance, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
※※※
After training, Chen was stopped by reporters who wanted to hear what Chen Yingxing had to say about the team's draw at Nuremberg.
Of course, Chen Yingying would not be stupid and say, "If you have yourself, it will be effortless to level Nuremberg".
He lamented the draw, and went on to say that the match against Everton was the final match.
'I'm going to give it my all, we're going to beat Everton and get out of the league with my head held high!' Chen Yingying was very arrogant and issued a declaration of victory.
The reporters cheered in their hearts: "Awesome, hero!" That's what you want! The more arrogant you are, the more we like it! Did you know that readers just like your arrogance? ”
※※※
The match between Zenit St. Petersburg and Everton takes place on December 5, six days before the match against Nuremberg.
Chen Yingxing's cold and fever occurred four days before the match against Nuremberg.
In fact, he has recovered from his cold, but he has not been in the squad for the Nuremberg game because he has not trained with his teammates for several days - for fear that he will catch a cold, and because he is also thinking about his health.
But if nothing else, he will certainly be in the squad for the game against Everton. Especially after watching today's game, many people have firmly decided that if Zenit loses Chen Yingying, it is equivalent to losing the most powerful and heavy axe.
This giant bear of the north is someone that the team must rely on at the moment, even if it suffers from "hero dependence".
