Chapter 189 Group Mockery (41oo Monthly Pass Plus Update)

The two UEFA Cup semi-finals between Zenit St. Petersburg and Bayern Munich are considered the most anticipated matches of the entire UEFA Cup ().

On the one hand, they are new to the European arena, and on the other hand, they are the "down-and-out" giants who have fallen into the League Cup. The collision of these two teams will definitely spark and shine.

After the match against Saturn, Zenit returned to St. Petersburg to prepare for the two semi-finals against Bayern Munich.

For Advocaat, these are two crucial games. It's even more important than the final – I don't know if I'll be able to make it to the final, so let's just treat the two matches against Bayern Munich as the finals.

In fact, in terms of the strength of the opponent, it is not an exaggeration to say that the match against Bayern Munich is the final. Because the other two teams in the semi-finals are Glasgow Stream 1 and Bayer Leverkusen. These two teams are clearly not on par with a giant like Bayern Munich.

In Europe, many media feel that Bayern Munich should have no suspense in advancing to the final. Although Zenit St. Petersburg is very strong and is the dark horse in this year's UEFA Cup, they met Bayern Munich in the final......

“…… It's a shame! If it weren't for Bayern Munich, Zenit could have even created one of the biggest moments in the team's history, they could have reached the final, and with their quality, it would not be impossible to win the cup in the final. But now, their fate has changed because of Bayern Munich......"

"It will be too difficult for Zenit to beat Bayern Munich, who are currently top of the league and well ahead of second-placed Werder Bremen. They have great hopes of regaining the Bundesliga title this season and there is little doubt about a return to the Champions League. For them, the UEFA Cup was just a mistake. But now that it's already here, it's natural to take away a championship trophy! ”

"In the Champions League, Bayern Munich are the favourites to win the trophy, and in the UEFA Cup they are probably the only team that has any hope of winning the title......

The German media touted Bayern Munich.

Some high-ranking reporters, while touting Bayern Munich, will also take the opportunity to praise Zenit's excellent performance. "If it weren't for Bayern Munich...... people here in St. Petersburg also felt happy after seeing it - you see, even the opponents are praising our performance!

There are also some relatively substandard German media that are red 1uo1uo contempt for Zenit St. Petersburg and infinitely elevate Bayern Munich. The consequence of this is that Bayern Munich simply don't need their infinite elevation, and they have managed to infuriate the Zenit fans.

In St. Petersburg, in Moscow, the media all believed that Zenit's only advantage was ...... Their schedule (). First away and then home, there is still a chance, try to keep a draw away from home, or win with less losses, and then return to the home field to play Bayern Munich again.

Zenit's home power is believed to have been seen by Villarreal, Marseille and Fiorentina.

So Zenit's head coach Advocaat made a plan for the team to keep a draw away from home.

Krzhakov's absence due to injury will definitely affect the team's attacking strength, which only strengthens Advocaat's determination to ask the whole team to defend to the core. When the time comes, Chen Yingying will be left alone in front of him, whether it is Arshavin or Domingos, they will have to defend. Not defensive? Then don't think about playing!

So Dominguez lost his chance......

He was very lazy about defending in training and didn't get involved much in defense.

Chen Yingying also doesn't participate in defense, but when the whole team needs to defend, it's enough to have someone like him, and one more person who doesn't come back to defend, so what's the point? Besides, Chen Yingying doesn't defend if he doesn't come back to defend, he can still do some on-the-spot counter-robbing or forcing in the frontcourt, forcing the opponent not to calmly organize an attack in the backcourt......

Since Domingos didn't cooperate, Advocaat decisively took him off the lineup.

This makes Dominguez a little upset, but what if he's upset? The head coach is the biggest in the team.

While Zenit is actively preparing for this away game, Bayern Munich is also preparing for the UEFA Cup semi-finals. For the players, though, they don't have the same sense of urgency as the Zenit players.

Isn't it easy to beat Zenit? This is the consensus of many Bayern Munich players.

Despite manager Heathfield's repeated reminders that Zenit are a strong team. But when it came to training, the atmosphere was still very relaxed, and Franck, who had only joined the team this season, was very enthusiastic about joking with everyone, making the training ground laugh ().

Zenit St. Petersburg?

They were really good enough to reach the semi-finals. But that's where their good fortune ended. Because we are Bayern Munich are the team that will win the UEFA Cup!

Self-confidence is a double-edged sword, and for wealthy families, self-confidence is too easy to turn into conceit.

And this degree is difficult to grasp as a head coach.

The captain of the team, Oliver. Karn has announced that he will retire at the end of the season, which has been decided and announced a long time ago, so everyone has half a season to gradually accept this reality. As his teammate, of course, everyone had to give Karn a parting gift from retirement.

What better gift than Kahn's trophy from his last European competition?

Beat Zenit, reach the final, and win the League Cup dedicated to the "Lion" Kahn. That's the whole story. And defeating Zenit is just the beginning of this story, a trick destined to die after a few minutes of appearance.

No one will care about the fate of the dragon suit, and no one will shed tears over the death of a dragon suit who has appeared for a few minutes without even a line.

In the minds of Bayern Munich players and fans, Zenit from St. Petersburg is no different from a dead man.

When the Zenit team arrived in Munich from St. Petersburg, they were "warmly welcomed" by the local media at the airport.

The players were pestered by the media for interviews, and the topics were of course all about the game and about their opponents.

"Isn't it a pity to meet Bayern Munich in the semi-finals? You've done a great job in this year's UEFA Cup, and it's no surprise that you won the UEFA Cup......"

As a Bayern Munich fan and captain of Zenit St. Petersburg, Tymoschchuk's answer was quite polite: "Actually, I would prefer to meet Bayern Munich in the final." But we also try to win, and the beauty of football is that you never know what the outcome will be. ”

When it was Chen Yingying's turn, he didn't give Bayern Munich face at all.

"Yes, I feel sorry for Bayern Munich because they met us early in the semi-finals, otherwise they would have had a chance to reach the final, with their quality, um...... It shouldn't be impossible to win the championship. ”

He stood in front of the reporters and pretended to distort their words, leaving a group of German reporters stunned when they understood them......

After answering, Chen Yingying shrugged, turned around and walked away.

This group of journalists is so cheap! How can such a question be asked? Isn't this a clear sign that we should admit defeat? How can this work? Before the game was played, you said such frustrating words?

Tymoshchuk is the captain, and people have to take care of their personal image and the team's image. I don't have to take care of this, so I'll tell you what he doesn't dare to say!

The next day, his remarks appeared in the local media in Munich......

※※※

The news of the arrival of Zenit in St. Petersburg in Munich was on the TV news.

In the picture, Chen Yingying stood in front of the camera lens, and said with an arrogant face: "I feel sorry for Bayern Munich, because they met us in the semi-finals in advance, otherwise they would have had a chance to reach the final, with their strength, um...... It shouldn't be impossible to win the championship......"

When this TV station broadcast Chen Yingying's words, it did not give antecedents, that is, they never mentioned what the reporter asked Chen Yingying (). Maybe they think that the reporter's problem is normal and does not need to be specifically pointed out. Perhaps it is their habit of misinterpreting the meaning of the interviewee – this is not the exclusive domain of the Chinese media, but the German, British, or American media...... The media all over the world are good at doing something.

But in short, they succeeded in creating the image of Chen Yingying deliberately provoking the wealthy, disrespectful, and proud and conceited like a clown.

After the news was broadcast, many Bayern Munich fans scolded Chen Yingying on the Internet as an idiot.

And the local print media in Munich also pushed the boat and added fuel to the fire.

Chen Yingying's words are indeed quite inadequate...... The premise is that you don't know the antecedents. You don't know how the Munich journalist was scorning Zenit with a polite and praising attitude – a contempt that was more irritating than the kind of red 1uo1uo, because he gave you a slap in the face and nowhere to go. How enthusiastic and objective people are! Fully praised Zenit's performance and recognized Zenit's strength. For example, you can see what a rare compliment you have to say "you have done a great job in this UEFA Cup, and it would not be surprising if you win the UEFA Cup".

It's as if they can slander you with impunity after they do that.

And this kind of practice is very marketable, and many people feel that this is fair and objective, this is neutrality, and this is level. Even Zenit St. Petersburg would have thought so.

But Chen Yingying felt uncomfortable no matter how he heard it.

Our performance has nothing to do with what you say next. It's our business if we perform well, and since we're doing well, how do you come to the conclusion that if we play well, we're going to lose to Bayern Munich?

He couldn't get used to someone pretending to be in front of him, and when he saw such a person, he was like saying something or doing something to disgust the other person.

It's just that such a character also makes him often push himself to the top of the wind. Just like this time, the local media and fans in Munich scolded him, thinking that a kid from the Russian league dared to speak wildly to Bayern Munich, and when the time came, he must let Bayern Munich soldiers clean him up on the pitch ()!

“…… The Chen Hero is the top scorer in the Russian league and also broke the record of Veretnikov. But what is the level of the Russian league? What about being the top scorer in a league at this level? The top scorers of the Russian league are there every year, has anyone heard of their names? ”

"I can't imagine where this Chinese got the courage and confidence to say such things? Well, he managed to provoke the wrath of Bayern Munich fans. Hopefully, he will also succeed in provoking the wrath of the Bayern Munich players and then let all the suspense be ended in the first leg! ”

"This player has a name that looks great – 'hero', but it's ridiculous to give yourself such a name! Does he really think he's a hero! ”

His name spread throughout Munich overnight, and all the fans knew that there was such a very arrogant and annoying guy in Zenit St. Petersburg.

It's no wonder that when Chen Yingying was playing World of Warcraft, he chose to play a warrior and become an MT, and there was a reason for this - group ridicule!

ps, when you read this chapter, I may still be on my way home, or I may have already arrived home. Anyway, this chapter is updated automatically.

I've been living like this for two weekends in a row — my wife was watching a movie and chatting at a friend's house, having a good time, and I was forced to open the computer code words in their study. I was so hard at my sister-in-law's house last weekend...... Wear headphones, turn on the music as loud as possible, the hustle and bustle outside has nothing to do with me, my world only has Chen Yingying and his teammates and opponents, of course, and all of you who have been supporting me!

Although it is very hard and tiring, I am still very happy to look at the monthly pass that has risen and the message clicks and recommendation tickets from everyone.

Finally, a very cliché word – thank you!
