Chapter 175 Florence

Scored seven goals in three rounds of the league, and such crazy performance made Chen Yingxiong far ahead in the scorer list from the beginning. Pavliuchenko, ranked second, scored three goals in three games, and it was already awesome to average one goal per game. Chen Yingxiong is now averaging 2.333 per game, and he is about to break through the sky.

When he was far ahead in the scorer list, he became the focus of major media coverage.

Both Russian media and Chinese media are reporting on his crazy status.

Everyone thinks this is incredible, but it also feels normal. For players suddenly appear in amazing states in a short period of time, it is not impossible to do. The key is to see how long this state can last.

Including four League Cup games, Chen Yingxiong participated in seven official games and scored eleven goals...

Average of 10 or 5 points per game seems much easier to accept than averaging 2 or 3 points per game.

But the media is still admiring and incredible.

Maybe it's because Chen Yingxiong's condition is too sudden... Before the start of the season, no one expected that he would be so awesome. He thought that outstanding performance in the League Cup would make him have a slight low in the league to adjust his condition. Or he simply kept his strength in the league for the sake of the League Cup. After all, for him, what else is there to compete in the league? He was so successful last season. Maybe he only wants to surpass himself, right?

But who knew that Chen Yingxiong actually found another target that made him motivated.

Although I don’t know whether this goal can be achieved in the end, it can inspire him to keep working hard, forcing himself to keep moving forward, and finally see where his limit is and whether he can surpass him.

On the Chinese Internet, discussions about Chen Yingxiong are in full swing. He is now the well-deserved number one star in Chinese football - this is not an official assessment, but in the minds of most Chinese fans, he is.

Although his personality has caused controversy and many people in China hate him, what does it matter? No matter how hate him, those people cannot change the fact that he keeps scoring goals. This is exactly where the fans who like him cheer for him.

"The Winnie the Pooh is so awesome! I scored seven goals in three rounds of the league! What does it mean to average 2.33 goals per game? Comrades! The world's top forwards may not have such data!"

"Predicting the title of Sex-Way Sports on Monday morning - "Three games, seven goals, the peak Ronnie Gang is at a disadvantage"!"

"I'll ask, are the defenders in the Russian League very weak? Why are the heroes so crazy to score goals?"

"God knows, we didn't see the live broadcast of the game. But no matter what, this number is still quite shocking in Europe!"

"The Russian media are crazy. My classmate studying in Moscow said that the Moscow newspapers now have Chen Yingxiong's names and photos! As a Chinese student, he is now very proud of his face in school! Haha!"

"It's awesome! Promote my great power in Greater China!"

"Why didn't the Chinese team recruit such a player?"

"It's better not to join the national team, right? It will be destroyed if it's entered?"

"Actually not necessarily... I think it's more likely that the Chinese team's locker room is disturbed by him..."

"The Chinese Football Association cannot recruit such a disobedient player! I bet he will never be able to enter the national team. If he loses, I will cut the cock! Then the picture above will prove it!"

"The master is a real man! Even if you are unfortunately castrated yourself in my mind, you are still a pure man!"

The madness in the league has made everyone pay more attention to his performance in the League Cup.

On April 3, in the quarterfinals of the League Cup, Chen Yingxiong challenged Fiorentina away.

For the rookie Xinnen in European football, this League Cup has given Chen Yingxiong many firsts. For example, he first stepped on the England arena, appeared in the Spanish arena. Now he has appeared in Italy as a player for the first time...

Italy has bad memories for Chen Yingxiong - he and his father were cheated of a thousand euros in this country.

He still remembered his father sitting on the street with his hands in his head and his face frowning. He was venting on a public phone. He was so disappointed and in a mess.

But it was at that time that he made the decision to go to Russia. Just as the Red Army decided to go to Yan'an under the difficult situation of being surrounded and suppressed, it started a great journey from then on...

Now he has achieved success in Russia, but for the entire European continent, he is still one of countless ordinary players in public, no difference from those players a, b, c, and edfgh.

For him, the European continent is not a whole, but a split country, just like a copy of the World of Warcraft, and he has to conquer it one by one.

He has introduced himself to England and Spain one after another. Now it is Italy's turn.

As a hero, it is certainly a grand appearance.

This first appearance is very important. Chen Yingxiong must be determined to play this away game well. He wants to leave a profound impact on the Fiorentines and even the entire Italy.

Italy has two Milan players and giants like Juventus. If you perform well, will it attract their arrogant eyes?

All are unknown.

All he can do is to try his best to show his best side. As for whether he attracts the favor of those wealthy families... it can only be done by others and accomplished by heaven.

Chen Yingxiong is quite familiar with Fiorentina because the team and the entire city are very popular in China. At the beginning, the morale of the Serie A seven sisters, Fiorentina accumulated a lot of popularity in China.

Moreover, this city has always become a place where many literati and petty bourgeois fight to worship and yearn for.

So this name has a very high exposure in China.

But when Chen Yingxiong came to Europe with his father to promote himself, he had never been here. They knew that when they came, they were rejected and wasted time and energy, and the most important thing was to waste money - to go to one more place, they would spend more money. At that time, Chen Yingxiong and his father wanted to spend a euro to ten times.

Now, he doesn't have to worry about spending money, because everyone pays for everything.

He can enjoy the rooms and services of star-rated hotels. He has luxury buses to pick up and drop off when traveling, and the media flocks to him, like a real star.

Of course, the pressure he faces is actually very large. But he is used to turning pressure into motivation - if he can still win away games, wouldn’t it be even more problematic to go back to home? So as long as we win this away game, we will be able to go to the semi-finals. At that time, we will challenge Bayern Munich and feel what it feels like to have a real Champions League strength!

Chen Yingxiong turned the heavy pressure into the motivation for his own struggle.

Cesare Prandelli and his coaching staff have studied Zenit's game videos many times.

Like Moyes, he will also select several threatening players from Zenit to focus on research, and these people will become the targets of the team during the game.

But it's different from Moyes, he did not ignore Chen Yingxiong.

He couldn't ignore it either - he has scored six goals in the League Cup and has jumped to the second place in the League Cup scorer list, only one goal less than Tony, who is currently ranked No. 1.

If such a forward can be ignored by him, he will not be a qualified head coach.

It is understandable that Moyes ignores him. At that time, Chen Yingxiong was like an ugly duckling. Apart from his eye-catching appearance, there was nothing special about it. There were too many such centers, which was not worth worrying about.

However, in the Marseille game, Chen Yingxiong showed his ability to hold the ball behind his back, which immediately made him difficult to guard against.

This attracted the strong attention and vigilance of Plandelley.

A center who has excellent header and can also take the ball from behind outside the penalty area and turn around and shoot with a long shot... How can he curb him?

He felt that the only thing that is thankful is that the center forward's back-to-body ball-holding ability has not yet been formed, which is a bit like being sometimes not effective. At the same time, his foot skills are still rough. He has too much physical contact when attacking. Although this will show his strength, it will also make the referee target him - he has made more fouls in the offense.

Now in the team, captain Dario Dainelli is the only defender who can compete with Chen Yingxiong in terms of height. He is 1.91 meters tall and weighs 83 kilograms... but the weight is less than ten kilograms, but the football game is not something that can win by anyone heavier than anyone else.

Gambellini is also very capable, but it is obvious that he is not strong enough. Compared with Chen Yingxiong, who is like a monster, he is like a thin little man. His task should be to help fill in the leaks and stare at Kerzakov.

In addition, to curb such a center, you have to find a way to cut off Zenit's contact with him in the middle and backcourt... Such a center who is not good at dribbling and has poor personal ball control skills, once he loses the support from the middle and backcourt, it is like a tank without gasoline, and is no different from a pile of scrap iron.

But how do you cut off his connection with the midfield and backcourt?

Plandelli felt that he had to put the three passers, Al Shavin, Domingos and Hill.

In Edvocart's tactical system, the main task of these three people is to constantly deliver shells to Chen Yingxiong. Although Hill is average in dribbling, he is very good at crossing. When he crosses, Chen Yingxiong's main source of heading the ball. Arshavin's crossing is average, but he has excellent dribbling and has strong breakthrough ability. Once he is disturbed by the defense line and then sends the football to the goal, Chen Yingxiong can easily score with a header. Domingos is not often active on the wing. His task is to assign football to Chen Yingxiong, Arshavin or Hill. He decides the team's offensive direction. Sometimes he will also serve as a shadow striker and suddenly launches an attack under the cover of Chen Yingxiong.

As for Kerzakov... under Chen Yingxiong's powerful light, he is a tactical supporter. His main task is to attract a certain amount of defensive attention to Chen Yingxiong, and then he appears as a bargain picker who solves the problem after Chen Yingxiong is restricted from death...

So he is not the one who needs to pay attention to the most urgently.

Plandelli and his assistants made arrangements for Chen Yingxiong and his teammates. Of course, this arrangement was not done by Chen Yingxiong and his teammates when they arrived in Fiorentina. In fact, it started a week ago. During this week, the team had to learn how to defend Zenit in training.

The only shame is that in the team, he could not find anyone who could compete with Chen Yingxiong in his body to be everyone's training opponents. On the one hand, the defenders have first-hand information to facilitate them to know how to deal with this behemoth in the game.
