Volume 1: When a Male Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 205: Return to Udeni Park

※※※

Liverpool players saw Chen Yingxiong's huge popularity in this city at the airport, but this was not enough. In the following days, they fully realized Chen Yingxiong's fans in this city at Zenit's training base in St. Petersburg. In my mind, the status is multiple.

Every day, no matter in the morning or in the afternoon, there are huge crowds of people outside the training base, all of them Zenit fans.

And these people all came to see Chen Yingxiong.

After the training, Chen Yingxiong will be surrounded by these people, giving them autographs, taking photos with them, and satisfying their every request.

At first, Chen Yingxiong refused to accept anyone who came, but later these fans were so enthusiastic that Chen Yingxiong had to beg for mercy, saying that if he signed any more, his hand would cramp. He himself is never injured, but he is more injured than the fans.

Everyone laughed for a while and let Chen Yingxiong go.

For Chen Yingxiong, the Udeni Park training base carries too many memories for him.

When he came back to train here on the first day, he ended up mumbling this name. When he didn't see a place he was familiar with, he would stop and look at it to see if there was any change with his memory.

Absolutely no post.

This training base is exactly the same as what he saw nine years ago.

At that time, he was still a player of the youth team in this training base. He lived in the dormitory building inside the training base and practiced hard every day, hoping that one day he could stand out.

At that time, I was unknown not only in the world of football, but also in St. Petersburg. Playing a game in the youth team, I saw a few reporters who were very excited, thinking that I could become famous.

The day after the game, I would go to the newsstand outside the training base to buy Russian newspapers, excitedly seeing if any media mentioned me.

I was really young at that time...

At that time, who could have thought that Chen Yingxiong would become a dragon in the future?

He scored 500 goals at just 26 years old, and scored 102 goals in a single season...

I'm afraid even he himself wouldn't think of it.

These were truly a dreamlike nine years, nine years of rapid development, nine years in which he went from being unknown locally to becoming a blockbuster and known all over the world.

The starting point of all stories starts from here.

He does use this place as a springboard, but that doesn't mean he won't have feelings for it.

Especially after nine years of absence, when he returned here, the memories of the past suddenly flooded him like a flood that opened the floodgates.

Only then did he realize what this humble place meant to him.

He never thought he would return to the Udeni Park training base because he certainly would not return to play for Zenit. At that time, he firmly believed that his future was in a wealthy club. Even if he retired, he should retire in a wealthy club, because the top players naturally have to end their careers in top clubs and cannot go to the Middle East or the United States. , who retired with almost no attention on third-tier teams in third-tier leagues.

But he didn't expect that even so, he would still have the opportunity to return to Zenit and train at the Udeni Park training base.

The latter is what he misses the most.

The Yudeni Park training base is not considered to be the top in the world, and even in Russia, it is only considered to be an upper-middle level. Training here will not improve his abilities.

He just felt that it was very meaningful to return to where he started and train here before an important Champions League final.

And this meaning will give him huge motivation to do better in the finals.

So, Barcelona is out of luck.

It has been three days since Chen Yingxiong arrived in St. Petersburg with Liverpool. During these three days, the media in St. Petersburg surrounded the Udeni Park training base, with long guns and short guns directed at the training ground and training base.

The fifteen minutes of public shooting time every day is the busiest time for the media.

These days, St. Petersburg newspapers, TV news, and the Internet are full of news about Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong.

But no one is bored. This is the first time that Chen Yingxiong is so close to everyone since he left Zenit. Everyone is eager to get more news about him, so how can they be bored?

The last time Chen Yingxiong came here to fight with Naples, the weather was bad, and since they were enemies, it was impossible to use the Udeni Park training base, so it was impossible for everyone to get in touch with him so close.

Seeing him training on the training ground wearing a Liverpool jersey, fans lamented how time flies and the changes have been huge.

"Think about how young the hero was back then... he was more arrogant than calm. But look at him now, oh... time makes us grow old, but it also makes us mature!"

"If I only look at the current hero, I can't imagine what he was like when he played here... What a big change..."

"Yes, yes, who would have thought that the hero would become so powerful? I suddenly felt that he was beyond the scope of our planet... he was an alien!"

Fans gathered together to chat about topics related to Chen Yingxiong. At the same time, they also saw the traces of the passage of time left on themselves from Chen Yingxiong's growth and changes.

"We are truly proud that such an outstanding player came from us... Oh, it makes me feel happy just thinking about it!"

"Come on, hero! Kill Barcelona! We will always support you!"

"Hero looks over! Oh, he looks over! Hero—!!!"

A burst of screams from female fans rang out in the distance.

Even these crazy female fans are exactly the same as they were seven years ago.

Chen Yingxiong heard the scream, and he took the time to wave his hand over there, and the scream became louder.

"Oh, even the female fans' reaction is exactly the same as before. I'm so happy!" Chen Yingxiong said to Skrtel next to him after hearing the fans' reaction.

The other teammates looked at the group of female fans with revealing and sexy clothes and plump figures with envy and hatred, and secretly cursed Chen Yingxiong for how many Russian blond girls he had brought harm to during his three seasons at Zenit.

Surrounded by the enthusiasm of Zenit fans, Liverpool's preparation atmosphere is actually very relaxed. Because for Chen Yingxiong and Skrtel, in St. Petersburg, they feel like they have returned home.

I am very familiar with every plant and tree here.

If there wasn't still a Champions League final to be played, the two of them might have taken the members of the Liverpool team to have fun in the place where they often fought.

Even so, as soon as the plane landed in St. Petersburg, Chen Yingxiong turned on his mobile phone, spread the heroic message, and summoned the members of the former Zenit St. Petersburg eating and drinking band. They agreed that as soon as the Champions League final was over, they would A social event for eating, drinking and having fun between Zenit St. Petersburg and Liverpool to celebrate their championship. The final has not even been played yet. In Chen Yingxiong's view, the Champions League championship is already in his bag.

You can't lose to Barcelona if you lose to anyone.

So Liverpool will never lose this game.

Others didn't understand his confidence, but Chen Yingxiong knew it very well. He has a psychological advantage over Barcelona. When he was not as awesome as he is now, Barcelona was at its peak and it was a super team that no one in the world could solve, and he was not afraid of it.

Nowadays, Barcelona has been updated, old players have retired one after another, new players have not fully caught up, and Guardiola's second entry into the palace did not go smoothly. He is even less afraid of Barcelona.

I think back then, that Barcelona team could win six championships in a season, and several lines were fighting at the same time. For them, there was no conflict at all. But what about now? In order to compete for the Champions League championship, they even gave up the domestic league and allowed Real Madrid to win the championship trophy two rounds in advance in the domestic league. However, they also defeated Real Madrid in the semi-finals as they wished and got tickets to the Champions League final.

What is there to be afraid of with such a Barcelona team?

Chen Yingxiong has no headache at all for Barcelona.

But Barcelona is giving him a headache.

Guardiola feels a headache now.

Because he didn't know how to contain Chen Yingxiong.

This question made him a little embarrassed, but there was no way, this was the reality.

What a turn of events.

When Messi under him swept the world football, scoring a lot of goals, and winning honors and championships, all the opponents were thinking about one question: What should we do when we face Messi? Can you guard him?

This is like Goldbach's conjecture in football, with almost no solution.

But now the protagonist of this problem has become Chen Yingxiong.

Due to physical reasons, Messi is shorter and thinner, his header is poor, and his right foot is not good enough. These are his weaknesses. As long as tactics are used to target his weaknesses, he can still be guarded against.

The question is, what are Chen Yingxiong’s weaknesses?

He is so strong, tall, has excellent headers, strong confrontation ability, and also has outstanding skills at his feet. Although he does not dribble often, people who have seen him dribble think that Chen Yingxiong's basic dribbling is very solid. of.

In addition, his shooting skills with his feet are very accurate. It can be said that he is very versatile in shooting.

In addition, he can also take an excellent free kick...

Tell me, how do you defend yourself against such a monster and pervert? What are his weaknesses?

Maybe...left foot?

This year only popped up in Guardiola's mind for a moment, and was thrown away by him the next second.

Chen Yingxiong's 62nd league goal this season was a beautiful left-footed turning volley. If this is luck or deception, then based on Guardiola's understanding of Chen Yingxiong, his left foot is actually of a very high level, but he is used to shooting with his right foot, and Liverpool The whole team is used to feeding the ball to his right foot. But if you think that he is not good with his left foot and force him to control the ball with his left foot, he will definitely die miserably in the end...

Ahhhhh!

What a headache!

Guardiola thought about it for several days, but still couldn't come up with a solution. He was so annoyed that he couldn't help but put his head in his hands, much like pulling a bunch of hair off his head. But after touching his scalp, he discovered that there was not much hair left on his head...

It’s the most painful thing if you want to catch it but can’t…

Guardiola felt that he was so depressed that he even had trouble with his hair. (To be continued.
