Chapter 116: Too Anxious (Second Update)

Chapter 116 Too Anxious (Second Update)

Chen Yingying practiced hard in the dungeon, waiting for the moment of upgrading ().

But before that, he felt that good luck seemed to be away from him all of a sudden.

He thought it was strange that his luck curve always seemed to plummet after a while of his triumph. He had something similar last season. But there was a reason for that time - because he had a single characteristic, he was easy to be targeted, so he couldn't score a goal.

And this time? He has two weapons, a header and a long-range shot, and his other abilities are steadily improving, but suddenly he can't find the feeling of scoring goals.

On July 21, Zenit St. Petersburg away to Spartak Moscow in a contest between the first and second in the league ().

It was supposed to be a Mars vs. Earth race. Especially the competition between the two powerful centers has made many people full of expectations. The battle between the two sides in the first half of the season is still vivid. At that time, Chen Yingying and Pavlyuchenko scored goals in the game as if they had eaten yĆ o. If you dare to score one, I will immediately return the color, you score one goal, I will score one goal, and in the end everyone will score two goals, and the two sides will have a tie, and the team will also play a draw.

But in today's game, Chen Yingying's dumb fire suddenly made the game lose its biggest attraction...... Everyone still wants to see the center duel between Chen Yingying and Pavlyuchenko.

And Pavlyuchenko also has a feeling of sympathy for this center forward who fought with him in the game. Asked before the game that Chen Yingying has not scored in two consecutive league games, he said that this is normal, and any striker can suddenly not score, and then suddenly burst into consecutive goals. So there's nothing to fuss about.

He was talking for Chen Yingying. Despite the fact that they are competitors in the scorer list. Chen Yingying is currently the top scorer with 14 goals, while Pavlyuchenko has seized the opportunity of Chen Yingying's lack of goals in two consecutive rounds to close the gap between him and Chen Yingying's sword, and now he has scored 11 goals, only three goals away from Chen Yingying.

As a result, Chen Yingying did not score in this game and was substituted in the 85th minute.

Pavlyuchenko, on the other hand, scored twice - in the 28th minute, he opened the scoring with a goalmouth shot in the 28th minute to break the deadlock. In the 61st minute, he scored his thirteenth goal of the season from the penalty spot.

When he scored, the commentator Petrov shouted: "Thirteenth! The thirteenth! Pavlyuchenko did it! He further shortened the gap between himself and the hero! Now the two of them are just one goal away! Before, everyone thought that the top scorer of this season must be Chen Yingying, and there was no suspense...... But now...... The suspense is back! It's hard to say who will win the league top scorer with just one goal, but I think we'll have more to watch in the second half of the season! ā€

Watching Pavlyuchenko score his thirteenth goal, Chen Yingying gritted his teeth and clenched his fists ().

Of course, he was unwilling to be approached by the other party like this. But the more he tried to score, the more he couldn't score, and it seemed to be a vicious circle.

Until the 85th minute, he was substituted and failed to score. When he came off the pitch, he heard boos from Spartak Moscow - they didn't like the arrogant boy who was competing with his team's center forward Pavlyuchenko for the league's top scorer.

In the end, Zenit St. Petersburg equalized in the 45th minute away from home.

However, in the 59th minute, goalkeeper Kontfalski failed to make a mistake and gave Moscostaba a penalty opportunity, and he himself was sent off with a red card, and Zenit suddenly fell into a numerical disadvantage.

There is one less person, and Chen Yingying can't work normally...... Zenit was in big trouble all of a sudden.

Pavlyuchenko's second goal of the game gave his side the lead again.

In the 83rd minute, Bazhenov (nikita_bazhenov) put the icing on the cake and sealed the victory completely.

Zenit St. Petersburg suffered their first league defeat and they were overtaken by Sparta and dropped from top of the league.

The giant bear on Chen Yingying's back was eager to try for a long time, but he never had a chance to be released to roar in the mountains and forests.

※※※

The media can finally confirm one thing, that is, Chen Yingying has indeed fallen into a "terrible" goal drought!

Not scoring in three consecutive rounds, and not scoring in such an important game as Sparta, can definitely not be described as a small accident. Because of this defeat, Zenit relinquished the top spot in the league.

This should not have been a failure, at least not in Advocaat's plan.

He was going to take a point, and a draw was better than a defeat.

Many media quickly found two scapegoats after the game, one was a useless attack in the case of the team's 1:1 draw, and the mistake led to the opponent's penalty kick, and he was also sent off by the red card goalkeeper Kontfalski. The other is Chen Yingying, who has been unable to score for a long time.

If the first two rounds of criticism were only sporadic raindrops, now they have hit Chen Yingying like a storm.

Chen Yingying didn't even give an interview after the game, but that didn't stop the media from criticizing him.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ quickly became famous at a young age, so that Chen Yingying, a nineteen-year-old child, was lost in Vanity Fair! He doesn't seem to be able to find his way anymore! ā€

"Frequent visits to nightclubs, scandals with Sharapova, and commercials...... After tasting the wonderful taste of fame, this Chen Yingying also had to face all kinds of pain brought to him after becoming famous......"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ There are far too many players who quickly fall into fame at a young age because they can't control their hearts, and they always easily raise their hands and surrender before fame and fortune...... Will the hero be the next player to rise to fame at a young age and then quickly degenerate? Judging by the current situation...... Dangerous! ā€

Chen Yingying's situation naturally touched the heart of another person, and that person was the team's head coach Advocaat.

He doesn't know what's wrong with Chen Yingying, but he should really reflect on what the problem is if he doesn't score in three consecutive rounds.

After the training, he kept Chen Yingying.

He wanted to talk to Chen Yingying alone. It seems that they haven't talked separately for a long time, and Advocaat thought to himself, can't this also be a manifestation of Chen Yingying's triumphant fame at a young age? In the past, he would often come to him for his own purposes, but since the start of the new season, such a thing has not happened once ().

"I've noticed some comments about you in the media lately, hero ......" Advocaat was juggling the wording, careful not to anger the rebellious player.

Being so careful with a young player makes Advocaat laugh at himself constantly.

Here it comes!

Chen Yingying was shocked.

Chen Yingying couldn't tell what the head coach meant by this, so he didn't speak, and pretended to be stupid.

Seeing that Chen Yingying didn't react, Advocaat had no choice but to take it himself.

"Well, I know that you were very smooth sailing some time ago, and it is inevitable that you will have some ideas...... However, professional football is brutal, and I'm sure you've seen how the media treated you before and how they treat you now. So...... I admit that the UEFA Cup is the main goal of the team this season and next season, but the domestic league cannot be given up either......

Chen Yingying heard that Advocaat was worried that he would get carried away when he became famous, arrogant, and lose interest in the domestic league, as the media said, and only thought about the League Cup.

He hurriedly pouted: "That, Mr. Coach...... I wasn't like what the journalists said. I am not arrogant and conceited, and I am not arrogant and contemptuous. I'm also worried about not scoring in a row, definitely not what you said, let alone ......" he paused, "I definitely won't lose interest in the league because ......" he clenched his fists. "I said I was going to be the top scorer!"

The top scorer in the league who was originally stable was chased by Pavlyuchenko and was only one goal away, which is an unacceptable fact for Chen Yingying, and he is now working hard to reopen the gap, how can he despise the league?

Advocaat also thinks that Chen Yingying has a point, he should not be like what the media says, he is still a more competitive person (). Now that the league's top scorer is about to be snatched away by Pavlyuchenko, how can he despise the domestic league?

However, Chen Yingying's current mentality is really wrong.

Advocaat nodded, agreeing with Chen's statement.

"However, you are in too much of a hurry now. As a striker, especially a centre-forward who is constantly in the box, or even in the small box, you are too impatient. ā€

Chen Yingying also knew that he was in a hurry, but there was no way, as soon as he thought that his advantage on the shooter list was gradually shrinking, he finally got a very good body, but no one could see it, so he was anxious.

Because Advocaat was right, he kept his head down and was silent.

"Take it easy, don't always think about scoring goals with others, think about how you can create chances for your team-mates. In fact, against FC Moscow, you played very well. Even though you didn't score in two games in a row, I don't think you were impatient, you created chances for your team-mates and you enjoyed the game. Why not keep it like this? Enjoy the football game first and the goals will come naturally. ā€

Advocaat just poured a lot of effort into Chen Yingying, encompassing both grace and power, and reasoning with facts, hoping that Chen Yingying could adjust his mentality. If this were an ordinary player, maybe he would just throw the reserves to others and reflect on himself.

Chen Yingying also knows his current situation, and he can ignore the criticism of the media, but he can't turn a deaf ear to the words of the head coach......

He nodded, "I know what to do, sir." ā€

Advocaat glanced at him, "I hope you really know what you have to do, hero." ā€
