Volume 1: Males Come and Go, People Pay Attention to Chapter 196: Prohibition of Drugs
Chapter 196: Prohibited Drug Disturbance (4250 Monthly Ticket Plus Change)
Chen Yingxiong is in such a good state, scoring consecutive goals, the Russian media has gone from cheering in unison to feeling terrified...
It's an interesting shift. Who would think too many goals? Who doesn't like players scoring goals? Things that never happened before are happening now.
First came the voice from the Moscow media—"...Chen Yingxiong scored 14 goals in seven league games, averaging two goals per game. He scored eight goals in the UEFA Cup, and six of these eight goals were scored this year... His state came suddenly, quickly and...strangely. He scored 14 goals in seven league games, scored six in seven UEFA Cup games, and scored 20 goals in 14 games in total! Such a terrifying number of goals and efficiency are very rare...A player suddenly broke out in an astonishing state in a short period of time. It’s not unbelievable. It’s normal to score hat-tricks in two consecutive games. But Chen Yingxiong’s state can continue, which makes me feel very strange. Generally speaking, few players can maintain this crazy state for a month... But how long has Chen Yingxiong maintained it? From the game against Villarreal in February to the end of April, he has maintained it for two and a half months!”
This article doesn't say it clearly, it just raises the surprise and doubt that Chen Yingxiong's state can be so good and so long-lasting.
But this is like a fuse, igniting more doubts. Just like everyone thought it was weird at the beginning, but they didn't dare to talk nonsense without evidence. Now someone finally came forward, and immediately everyone jumped out and said: "That's right, I think so too!" "So I'm not the only one who doubts that!" "You and I think exactly the same!"
More and more articles and programs questioning Chen Yingxiong's status have been released, and the source is of course Moscow.
In Russia, the rivalry between the two cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg is eternal.
What started as skepticism quickly turned into hard-boiled allegations.
"...I appeal to Russia's anti-doping department to conduct a thorough investigation of Chen Yingxiong's urine sample!"
"...Such crazy goals in a row, if you say that he didn't take medicine, I wouldn't believe it if he was killed..."
"This is completely unreasonable. There is definitely a problem! A Chinese player, no matter how good he is, can't make it this far..."
"...We should be seriously concerned about this matter, follow up and report, and we must find out the truth!"
"In fact, at the end of last season, I began to wonder whether Chen Yingxiong used some unconventional means to help himself maintain a good state, so as to catch up with Pavlyuchenko and surpass Veretennikov's record..."
...
There are more and more such accusations, and various reports are becoming more and more out of line.
There are even tabloids vividly describing to readers the scenes of Chen Yingxiong, Denisov and others taking drugs in nightclubs...
※ ※ ※
Chen Yingxiong knew about this from the beginning. But he only treated it as gossip - just laughed it off and didn't take it to heart. It is no longer a matter of a day or two for the Moscow media to organize him.
But then he realized something was wrong. There are more and more doubts about his excellent form in the media, and more and more irresponsible, one by one. All the arguments are "in my opinion", "I think", "in my experience", "generally speaking", "basically"... such personal subjective words.
Then he got a call from Dracula.
"Are you aware of recent news events, hero?"
"You mean that nonsense?"
"Well. The Moscow media suspects that you have taken illegal drugs."
"Shit!" Chen Yingxiong yelled. This kind of naked insult to his personality is unacceptable to him. Especially those reporters who spoke so convincingly that they couldn't produce a single piece of evidence. They opened and shut their mouths with "I think" and "I think it should be"...such nonsense words.
"Of course you and I know what bullshit is, but some people don't know, and there are quite a few of them. There are more and more voices like this. I think you should pay attention."
Chen Yingxiong shrugged: "How should I pay attention? My mind is full of Bayern Munich now, and I have no time to pay attention to those self-righteous media!"
"Leave it to Vera," Dracula said.
Chen Yingxiong was stunned for a moment, as if the name hadn't appeared in his life for a while. He almost forgot that he also had a press secretary who was like an iceberg beauty.
"Now the media is questioning you and doubting you. It's time for her to come forward."
"Oh... well. Leave it to her."
"So do you have anything to say to her?"
As Dracula spoke, he motioned to Vera Nikolaevna Ivanova, who was sitting diagonally opposite him behind the desk, to come and answer the phone.
"Actually, it's nothing..." Chen Yingxiong didn't want to trouble him, and at this moment he heard Vera's voice: "Hello, Mr. Chen."
The cold voice immediately aroused Chen Yingxiong's anger a little.
"I'm your boss, not your client!"
"Hello, boss." Vera changed her address calmly.
Faced with this impeccable attitude of "admitting his mistakes", Chen Yingxiong lost his temper, and he eased his tone: "You know about this, right?"
"Well, I've been collecting all the reports related to you, boss." Vera replied.
"Help me out to deal with them."
"do you have any requests?"
"Whatever, you can ask them to produce evidence, or to prove my innocence, or you can just have a big fight with the media!" Vera asked him if he had any requests, and Chen Yingxiong felt that it didn't need to be so complicated at all.
"Okay, I understand." Vera nodded in response. "Anything else, boss?"
Chen Yingxiong is now thinking about Bayern Munich, and he is "afraid of them being a bird", so at this time, he does not habitually flirt with Vera.
"It's nothing, that's all."
When Vera handed the phone back to Dracula, Chen Yingxiong had already hung up the phone.
"What did he tell you?" Dracula asked Vera.
Vera repeated Chen Yingxiong's words. Then he stated his choice: "We just ask the media that said this to produce evidence, and if we can't produce evidence, we will sue them for defamation."
Dracula just smiled: "The last one is really his style. But you do it according to your own ideas."

After Chen Yingxiong handed everything over to Vera, he didn't care about it. He re-entered the instance and continued the special training.
He has already greeted Sharapova, this week is very critical, it depends on this week whether he can reach the final. So this week he will practice extra at the training base, and he will be busy. If you have anything to do, please contact me by email.
In fact, he wasn't at the training ground at all, he was training in his own bedroom...

When Chen Yingxiong was sweating profusely in the dungeon, Bayern Munich arrived in St. Petersburg collectively.
At this time, there are only two days before the start of the game.
St. Petersburg in early May was cool, without the snowstorms that plagued the Yellow Submarine. Both the weather conditions and the venue conditions are very good.
The weather forecasting department said that the night of the match day was clear and breezy, which was the perfect weather for football matches.
The objective conditions are ready for this game. At least Bayern Munich is much happier than Villarreal. They don't have to struggle on the muddy and slippery field with the wind and snow.
If Bayern Munich is really unfortunately eliminated, they cannot use the weather and venue as excuses.
So for Bayern Munich, this is actually a back-to-back game, a game that cannot afford to lose.
For Bayern Munich, the past week has been full of good news - Luca Toni has ended his suspension and can play for the team. Klose has also recovered from his injury, and he will form a strike partner with Tony by then. The goalkeeper Kahn, who was injured in the last round, also returned in time. If there is no accident, he will be able to catch up with the second round against Zenit.
On the other hand, what about Zenit St. Petersburg?
Krzakov's injury has not yet recovered, and Arshavin and Riksen were automatically suspended for one game because of accumulated yellow cards. Now Chen Yingxiong has been pushed to the forefront by the media in Moscow, who suspected him of taking banned drugs and asked the Russian anti-doping department to closely monitor Chen Yingxiong. Some media even planned to bring this matter to the European Anti-Doping Committee...
This annoyed Advocaat.
In the past two days, many media reporters have flocked here, and they all want to know whether Chen Yingxiong's crazy state is really related to banned drugs...
Of course, this will greatly interfere and affect Zenit's normal preparations.
At such a critical time, Advocaat and the whole team had to devote their energy to deal with those reporters who were dark in their hearts and feared that the world would not be chaotic.
With the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Cup at this point, the only representative of Russian football is Zenit St. Petersburg, and all Moscow teams have been eliminated.
Shouldn't we all work together to cheer for Zenit at this time? Why make such a show?
He set his sights on the next schedule of the league. After playing the UEFA Cup semi-final with Bayern Munich, two days later, the team will go to an away game against CSKA Moscow. CSKA ranks seventh, and Zenit St. Petersburg ranks first in the league. The two sides are so different that it stands to reason that they should not be direct competitors. But who let Zenit have Chen Yingxiong in the team?
The grievances between Chen Yingxiong and CSKA Moscow can be said to have lasted for three days and three nights, so this game has attracted much attention.
Is it for this reason?
Advocaat frowned in thought.
