Chapter 61: Former Comrades-in-Arms Are Different Now (First Update)

In the first half, Napoli relied on Hamsik's long-range shot to take the lead, and no matter what the situation was on the field, Davydov always had a calm face in the camera, which made many commentators admire him very much - look at the psychological quality of the manager, how good ()!

But in fact, Davydov has been thinking about why this is happening and what to do.

Then after thinking about it, he found that the problem was still with himself - his performance before the game was too weak, but it sent a signal to the players that the manager himself seemed to be less confident, since the manager has shrunk, how can the players still have confidence?

So, I sent the wrong message to the players.

His low profile is to keep a low profile in order not to put too much pressure on the players and at the same time to keep the opponent on their toes. Unexpectedly, none of these roles have been played, the players are indeed not under pressure, and there is no pressure to go too far, and Napoli is not proud to underestimate the enemy because of his low profile.

It looks like we're going to have to wind up the whole team at halftime.

It's better to be down by just one goal than he thought, so that he can fight back in the second half, and as long as he can force a draw, it will be considered that he has completed the pre-game set task.

Fifteen minutes into the break, Davydov spat on an impassioned fifteen-minute note, telling his players that Napoli had nothing to fear and that they should not be intimidated by the atmosphere at their home stadium.

He kept repeating: "Remember, you are Zenit St. Petersburg, you are the blue-white-blue who once won the League Cup!" You should not be afraid of any opponent! We beat Bayern Munich by four goals at home!! "That's the case.

Anyukov secretly rolled his eyes below.

That's right, Zenit St. Petersburg overthrew Bayern Munich, which looked strong at the time, away from home and finally won the League Cup, but it also depends on who did it at Zenit St. Petersburg, right?

Heroes, Arshavin, and Timoshchuk, the three ministers who won the game at that time, are no longer in the team......

Davydov has his eye on Pogrebnyak, a high school striker who was bought as a stand-in for Chen Yingying, and has performed well at Zenit, having only played half a season last year, but has nine goals (). He has scored 15 goals this season and is currently third in the league scorers' charts. If it weren't for the team's lack of strength, Zenit would not have been where they are now......

"Pavel! Pavel! You have to make the most of yourself as a centre-forward, and yes, your job is to score goals...... You should be a little more active! You know, you are a center that is no less than a hero! ”

Of course, he knew that compared to Chen Yingying, Pogrebniak was still a little worse, but now what else could he do better than to arouse the fighting spirit of this player?

Denisov lowered his head, he had been with Pogrebnyak for more than a year, and the relationship was not bad...... But no matter how good the relationship is, it will not be as good as the relationship between him and Chen Yingying. Poor Pogrebnyak, on a par with the monster of the hero, the pressure will be very high - has anyone in the history of Russian football scored 21 goals in 11 league games and then just took the league's top scorer award?

Pogrebniak has done a good job, but because he was introduced as a replacement for Chen Yingying, everyone will always compare him to Chen Yingying, and then ...... Shaking his head and sighingβ€”there is no substitute for that giant bear!

Pogrebnyak is also accustomed to being compared to Chen Yingying. In fact, before coming to Zenit St. Petersburg, he had long admired the name of Chen Hero, who was arrogant, but also capable. So he said more than once that he was not a substitute for Chen Yingying, he was Pavel. Pogrebniac.

There is a chance to confront Chen Yingying face to face, this is obviously an opportunity to make a name for himself - if he can beat Chen Yingying in the game, wouldn't he be able to get rid of the image of himself as a replacement for Chen Yingying in the hearts of others?

He clenched his fists.

β€»β€»β€»

Davydov thought that relying on his understanding of Chen Yingying, he had something to do to contain Chen Yingying.

But he soon found that his knowledge of Chen Yingying was outdated......

"The hero is now going with the ball...... He suddenly changed the line! Pretty! ”

Chen Yingying, who was running with the ball, suddenly came to a heel knock in the face of Denisov's defense, and his right foot knocked the football from behind to the left, which was completely unexpected by Denisov, he didn't react, Chen Yingying took the opportunity to stop and turn sharply, erasing the stunned Denisov!

It was not only one Denisov who was stunned, but also Zenit head coach Davydov on the sidelines, who stood on the sidelines, and the expression on his face was obviously incredible!

"Oh! This heel of the hero is really beautiful! Let's see...... Even Zenit's head coach Davydov was stunned! ”

Davydov's expression finally changed...... I almost thought he was paralyzed! ”

When Denisov reacted and wanted to chase Chen Yingying again, his feet slipped, he lost his center of gravity, fell to the ground, and could only watch Chen Yingying move to the middle lane, and then ...... Kick up and shoot from a distance!

The ball was drawn out of a straight line and rushed towards the goal guarded by goalkeeper Malafeev.

Malafeyev almost as soon as Chen Yingying unexpectedly passed Denisov, his muscles tensed up and he was ready to make a save.

So he jumped out at the same time as Chen Yingying.

He pounced on the football, but he didn't save it. The ball hit the top edge of his palm and bounced into the goal!

"Boom β€”β€”!" The St. Paul's Stadium erupts again!

"Chen Yingying! Chen Yingxing! He really hit his old club mercilessly! A very beautiful pass plus his signature long-range shot ()! Oh – that's amazing! ”

The narrator shouted loudly.

Chen Yingying didn't celebrate after the goal, he just waved his fist, and then turned and walked back.

Denisov got up from the ground and looked at the back of Chen Yingying.

I already feel like they're people from two different worlds......

β€»β€»β€»

Davydov definitely didn't expect Chen Yingying to break through in such a way, and then complete a high-quality long-range shot, two goals behind, and the game was basically not played......

The surprise on his face had not dissipated since Chen Yingying passed away.

At this time, he suddenly realized that his previous arrangements were ...... Maybe it's all outdated.

β€»β€»β€»

"The hero scored his third goal in this Champions League! Three goals in three games! His goalscoring efficiency is amazing! ”

"What a beautiful goal! Zenit St. Petersburg has finally tasted the blowback of the players it has cultivated! ”

"I wonder how Sansania will feel when she sees this...... "The Russian narrator did not forget to mock Zenit's manager. In fact, Chen Yingying's transfer really can't be blamed on Sassania, Chen Yingying is determined to leave......

Even if Sasania meets his requirements for a weekly salary of 100,000 euros, I am afraid that Chen Yingying will not agree to renew his contract.

Now it turns out that Chen Yingying was right to leave with an iron heart, he has a broader stage in Naples, and Naples has a better future than Zenit St. Petersburg. Take a look at the score difference between these two teams in this game...... It's clear at a glance.

In fact, no one is wrong, only the fans of Zenit St. Petersburg will sigh ().

β€»β€»β€»

Seven minutes after Chen Yingying's goal, Napoli scored again, this time by Frenkie de Jong. The score of 3:0 can already seal the victory.

Although Zenit's Portuguese midfielder Dennis scored a last-minute goal to save face, there was no way to save the defeat.

Napoli beat visiting Zenit St. Petersburg 3-1 at their home stadium to remain unbeaten in three group games and remain at the top of Group E.

On the other hand, Liverpool lost 2-1 at home to Lyon, and the terrifying and holy Anfield did not seem to bless the Reds, who have yet to win on their home turf in the Champions League this season.

As a result, Lyon remain second in the group, Liverpool are third in the group, and Zenit St. Petersburg, who have two losses and one draw, are at the bottom of the group. Napoli is at the top of the list. This situation is something that many people have not thought of since the results of the grouping.

No one expected Napoli to finish first in the group with two wins, one draw and seven points, and it seems that qualifying from the group will not be a problem......

After the game, Chen Yingying and Denisov exchanged jerseys.

He put his arm around Denisov's shoulders and comforted him: "Okay, don't cry and lose your face, I'll invite you to the best nightclub in Naples in the evening!" The best chick out there, take your pick! ”

Denisov squeezed out a smile from the corner of his mouth: "This is what you said, don't blame me for being unkind when the time comes!" ”

"I'm afraid you'll be polite to me!"

After saying that, he patted Denisov on the shoulder and ran to Anyukov again.

Denisov looked at his back, the giant bear tattoo on it was still hideous and eye-catching, this tattoo was taken to him by himself, and later became the symbol of this guy ().

I think he was still his own junior in Zenit, St. Petersburg...... Having been selected for the first time in the first team, living in the same room with him, he was extremely curious about the city of St. Petersburg, and even his eyes widened when he heard himself boast of the colorful nightlife.

It's completely like a little brother who has never seen the world.

It's only been a few years...... At the beginning, the younger brother was already the Golden Boot of Serie A, scored three goals in three games in the Champions League, and was a hot striker in the whole of Europe, and became more and more famous in Naples.

Tiny St. Petersburg really can't accommodate him.

He snorted.

A hand was placed on his shoulder.

It's Arshavin.

"Feeling deeply?" He asked.

Denisov tilted his head: "I'm thinking, people, fate is really different...... When he came into the team, you were already the best player in Russia, and even the commentators didn't know where he came from. The result? Now he is not as famous as him. ”

Arshavin smiled. "He's a genius, and there's meat to eat with him."

Denisov smiled: "I only know, follow him, there are girls to play!" ”

"I support you to slaughter him at night."

"On behalf of the whole Zenit team, I'm going to play poor him!"

Denisov proudly expressed his position.

But deep down in his heart, a voice sighed.
