They only tell you that the team is called Zenit, but they never tell you why it is called, nor what Zenit means.

In October 1957, the former Soviet Union launched mankind's first artificial satellite into space using the Sputnik launch vehicle. From then on, mankind began to try to escape the shackles of the earth.

But Sputnik is not the earliest launch vehicle of the Soviet Union. It was modified from the former Soviet Union and the world's first intercontinental ballistic missile P-7. The carrier of this epoch-making missile is called Zenit.

.

Therefore, the three major truths in the world today are east wind, militia and poplar, but 'Zenit', like the 'Katyusha' that once frightened Lachi, is a special symbol and is also lingering in the hearts of the Western world.

The shadow of the past. It is strange that Western Europe is willing to explain the origin of the word 'Zenit'.

Zenit Club is undoubtedly a powerful team in European football. In December 2004, Zhuoyang led Madibau to visit away from home, and the UEFA Cup group match ended in a 0:0 match.

However, at that time, Zenit’s home stadium was still at the Petrovsky Stadium. Starting from the 17-18 season, Zenit moved to the newly built Krestovsky Stadium and exchanged their dwellings for luxury homes.

Because during international competitions, names other than those officially registered and endorsed by FIFA are not allowed to appear in any facilities, so during the World Cup and Confederations Cup, Krestovsky Stadium will be called St. Petersburg Stadium.

St. Petersburg is the famous Leningrad in the former Soviet Union. The word "Grad" actually means "city", and Leningrad is the city of Lenin. But "St. Peter" does not refer to Peter the Great, but comes from the saint Peter, a disciple of Jesus.

.

In the eyes of Europeans, Moscow is a symbol of the old Iron Curtain era, while St. Petersburg on the Baltic Sea coast is undoubtedly much more moderate. It is regarded as the most Western city in Russia. This historical city is also more royal than the sober Moscow.

For people in the Eastern camp, St. Petersburg also has a very strong sense of groundbreaking significance. The gunfire of the October Revolution began with the bombardment of the Winter Palace by the cruiser Aurora anchored on the Neva River.

The Neva River is very short, only 74 kilometers long. It connects Lake Ladoga and the Baltic Sea. It passes through the city of St. Petersburg. The city is located on the delta of the Neva River estuary.

After the cruiser Aurora was decommissioned, it was converted into a warship museum and is still moored on the river in downtown St. Petersburg.

The October Revolution brought Marxism-Leninism to us. This sentence was said by a librarian in 1949. In 2017, the squad leader mentioned it again in the report of the 19th National Congress.

'Apora' means 'dawn' or 'dawn'. In Roman mythology, Aurora is the goddess of the morning. She awakens people and brings the dawn. It is equivalent to one of the twenty-eight stars in Chinese mythology.

Angri Xingguan, that big rooster.

When the rooster sings, the world becomes white, and when the October Revolution explodes, the world becomes white.

St. Petersburg is the seat of the Russian Federation Navy Headquarters. To this day, the investiture ceremony for graduates of the Naval Officer University is still held on the cruiser Aurora. This is a tradition of the Russian Navy.

Relaxing one by one, on the first day of the semi-finals, Zhuo Yang and Kou Kou also boarded the unsinkable cruiser.

In fact, the Aurora was not unsinkable. During the Soviet Union's Patriotic War in 1941, the cruiser guarding the port was old and outmoded and was unable to resist the German artillery fire. In the end, it tragically chose to sink itself to block the waterway.

And apart from the gunfire of the October Revolution, the Aurora had no other achievements worth writing about. In 1905, the Aurora, which had just entered service, was sent to the Far East by the Tsar, and traveled across the ocean to East Asia to participate in the Japanese war.

The Battle of Tsushima in the Russo-Russian War.

As a result, the Russian Navy was defeated by Togo Heihachiro's torpedo battle. The Aurora broke through the siege and managed to escape to Manila. Unexpectedly, as soon as it docked at the port, it was disarmed and directly detained by the Philippine people.

It took a year before he was released back to Europe.

For the next ten years, the Aurora did nothing until that cannon shot.

.

"Brother Zhuoyang, is this the cannon?"

"Probably." Zhuo Yang looked up at the 152-caliber naval gun. The dark muzzle was still pointing at the Winter Palace, two kilometers southwest.

Kou Kou nodded: "A very great cannon."

"The great thing is never the cannon, but the person who fires the cannon." Zhuo Yang said.

"Brother Zhuoyang, if we win the championship this time, will you also be a great shooter?" Kou Kou said about the national team, not "you" but "we".

"Of course." Zhuo Yang raised his head high: "If I bring the Hercules Cup back to China, although it is far from as groundbreaking as the October Revolution, it will still be considered great in the football world."

…

Although sometimes loaded with heavy loads,

The carriage of life is still as fast as a spark;

reckless coachman

gray hair time

Drive fast and never leave your seat.

——Alexander Pushkin, "The Stagecoach of Life"

"Brother Zhuoyang, you are the Persian god of fire. Do you like war?"

"No one likes war except madmen and those who make war fortune."

"But football is a war without smoke in peacetime."

"No, football is not a war. This is just a rhetorical device. All confrontational competitive sports, including Go, Mathematical Olympiad, pinball, and live urine, can be described as 'war without gunpowder.'"

"But they are not. War is war, and sports are sports. Football and piano, sports and art are all luxuries that people only have in peaceful times."

"I never like war. I like the prosperity of football, the brilliance of art, and I like living and working in peace and prosperity."

"Brother Zhuoyang, I like you."

Kou Kou's answer was an unreasonable and long kiss.

The dark gun barrel and the bright yellow towering chimney were so tenderly set off by this kiss.

…

I remember that wonderful moment when you appeared in front of me,

Like a fleeting phantom, like an elf of pure beauty.

In the torment of hopeless sorrow, in the trouble of noisy illusions,

Your gentle voice has been ringing in my ears for a long time,

I still see your lovely face in my sleep.

——Pushkin's "To Kane"

.

"Brother Zhuoyang, let's go shopping."

"Okay. Today my wife can buy whatever she likes. Your husband and I are not short of money."

"Yeah~"

Women are like dragons in caves. They like to put everything into their caves, no matter whether they are lacking or not.

In the evening, the couple returned triumphantly from Nevsky Prospekt. The rich woman Kou Kou looked like a rich woman, wearing a Ural white jade bracelet on her wrist, a natural malachite pendant bracelet, and a diamond-encrusted Nikka goddess of victory gold watch.

Wearing a gorgeous Pavlovsky shawl, she was not too hot, and she was playing with Fabergé eggs in her hands.

Zhuo Yang is a loyal follower. In the small mountain-like bag in his hand are handmade matryoshka dolls, big-headed doll chocolates, Begos military binoculars, Siberian sable fur, and natural amber strings. The quantities are multiplied by n, and there are even black ones.

Caviar, the two of them look like a pair of nouveau riche.
