Volume 1: Males Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 211 Want to Have Both Fish and Bear's Paw (First Update with Guarantee)
Chapter 211: Wanting to Have It Both Ways
It is definitely big news that Chen Yingxiong is going to sue those media. So the media are particularly entangled, especially the media in Moscow.
Because this is obviously a gimmick worthy of hype, but Chen Yingxiong has their names in the attached list!
In other words, Chen Yingxiong wanted to sue them! Why are they still hyping up?
But you should never worry about the lower limit of the media’s integrity, they can still find another way to participate in the hype.
That is……
"...Chen Yingxiong wants to sue the media that questioned his use of banned drugs? This is really a ridiculous thing in the world! Is there any law that does not allow questioning? The purpose of the media is to question! Question the public, question the stars, question the government, question everything that can be questioned! Why can't we question Chen Yingxiong?
"...This is a complete stifling of freedom of speech! We have the right to question. This is not spreading rumors. If we hadn't raised such a question, how would we know that Chen Yingxiong's urine sample in the match against CSKA Moscow is not a problem? This kind of questioning should be encouraged, not stifled!"
"If Chen Yingxiong really does this, we promise to accompany him to the end! We are stronger than anyone else in our belief in protecting the truth!"
...
A group of media dressed themselves up as saints and gentlemen who were bullied and slandered by the bully Chen Yingxiong, and launched a fierce bombardment against Chen Yingxiong on their own ground. Some media even associate Chen Yingxiong with "China", thinking that Chen Yingxiong comes from that "***" country, so it is normal to have such thoughts...
and so on.
Chen Yingxiong was too lazy to fight with them in the media, spitting at each other. It's enough for him to vomit once, and he can say anything in court next time.
Anyway, Dracula was already working on finding the right lawyer for him to fight the case.
He doesn't need to appear in person for the entire lawsuit, and everything will be entrusted to Dracula and the attorney at that time. He can continue to play football with peace of mind, and this matter will not affect his state at all.
If he really wants to play with the pen, he may not be as good as those reporters, but he can counterattack with the other side, which is to score goals.
He knew why the Moscow media beat rumors that he might have taken prohibited drugs to death. It was because of his own existence that threatened the status of the entire Moscow football, and he was a thorn in the side of the Moscow media.
That being the case, he has to do a better job of being a thorn in the side, he wants to nail himself into the eyes of those who don't like him! Even if he leaves by himself, it will make these people sick for a long time.

On May 8, Zenit St. Petersburg played at home against their opponents in the ninth round of the league, Lokomotiv Moscow. Another Moscow team.
In this game, Chen Yingxiong scored again, but he only scored one goal.
In the end, Zenit shook hands with their opponents 1:1 at home.
Seventeen goals were scored in nine games, and the goal rate finally fell below two.
There are still three short of twenty goals, and there are two games left in the game. If he can continue his previous state of scoring twice in a row, this goal will be easily achieved.
But his consecutive goal scoring journey may be ended...
Because the final against Glasgow Rangers is imminent, Advocaat began to consider replacing all the main players for a rest, and used a substitute lineup to deal with the league opponent Vladivostok Light in the tenth round.
After all, they have to fly for more than ten hours across seven time zones to play an insignificant league game. There is really no need for the main players to suffer this burden.
Which is more important, the league or the UEFA Cup final? Even a fool can answer such multiple choice questions.
Advocaat not only intends to exclude the main players from the starting lineup, but also intends to keep them all in St. Petersburg to prevent them from tossing back and forth and suffering from the journey.
This is of course good intentions, and in consideration of the team as a whole, there is no problem at all.
But if this is the case, it means that Chen Yingxiong will not have the chance to score goals in the match with Guangneng, so his pursuit of the league's top scorer will have to cast a shadow...
Advocaat considered that this decision would definitely affect Chen Yingxiong, so he decided to talk to him.
Sure enough, his decision was opposed by Chen Yingxiong.
"I don't have any problems with my physical fitness, sir! I can handle such an intensive schedule!" Chen Yingxiong assured, patting his chest. "You've never seen me get tired or ask to come off for physical reasons, have you?"
Not really. Advocaat thought. But this time it's not a simple physical issue.
"We have to fly eastward for more than ten hours, across seven time zones, and then fly back to Moscow from Vladivostok, another seven time zones, and then transfer to Manchester in Moscow... Such frequent jet lag, I think it will have a very big impact on your state, hero."
"I'll be jet-lagged on the plane. I promise not to chat and play with the team leader on the plane. I promise to sleep as soon as I get on the plane!"
Advocaat shook his head: "And I'm worried about your injury during the game. You know that you are scoring such crazy goals now that you have become a thorn in the eyes of all opponents. Have you forgotten why you only scored one goal in the last game?"
In the last game, Zenit played against Lokomotiv Moscow at home. Originally, Chen Yingxiong could score twice—at least the state he showed at the beginning was towards this goal.
However, the Lokomotiv Moscow team played a completely lethal tactic. Dealing with Chen Yingxiong was like cutting down a tree, using any means including fouls to stop him and interfere with him. This style of play made Chen Yingxiong very uncomfortable, and he was aroused during the game. If Tymoshchuk and Lombartes hadn't pulled him hard, I'm afraid he would have punched the opposing player on the spot.
In such a situation, he was able to score a goal, which is already remarkable.
In the last game, Chen Yingxiong played for 73 minutes before being replaced by the frightened Edvocaat.
He is really afraid that Chen Yingxiong will be injured now, or even if Chen Yingxiong is going to be injured, please get injured after the UEFA Cup final... He no longer expects Chen Yingxiong to play in the next league and the UEFA Champions League group stage in the second half of the season.
Thinking about the long-distance flight to Vladivostok this time, who knows what kind of treatment he will encounter at the opponent's home court, Edvocaat felt his heart beat very fast.
He was unwilling to risk Chen Yingxiong's health. A healthy Chen Yingxiong must be kept until the UEFA Cup final.
Chen Yingxiong saw the head coach's firm attitude, and he knew that it was impossible to start the game.
Then you always put me on the big roster so that I have a chance to play, right?
Chen Yingxiong thinks this way, as long as he is included in the competition squad, he will have the means and opportunity to play when the competition comes.
He made such a request to Advocaat.
"Then I must at least be in the squad! I'm really not afraid of jet lag, and I'm not afraid of long-distance flights. I don't have any problems with my physical strength! Don't worry, sir, I will definitely not affect the final against Glasgow Rangers!"
Advocaat was still hesitating.
Chen Yingxiong simply begged: "I beg you, sir! Just let me go! I'm really fine! I know this is a very willful request. I also know which is more important, the team as a whole or the individual. But I promise not to affect the team because of my personal goals! Just let me continue such a good state! Even if you only let me play in the last fifteen minutes of the game, it's fine! Just give me a chance..."
Advocaat doesn't know if fifteen minutes is enough to score a goal, but he thinks that the chance of injury should be very low in fifteen minutes. In addition, it will be the end of the game. Maybe the victory and defeat have already been won, and the Light Energy team may have lost their fighting spirit. If he really only needs fifteen minutes to play, that would be a good idea. At least he couldn't score a goal, and he couldn't blame himself for not giving a chance.
"Fifteen minutes of playing time, is this what you said?"
Chen Yingxiong was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the head coach was blocking himself with his own words. Can you score a goal in fifteen minutes? He didn't know, he just said name casually... I didn't expect the head coach to take it seriously!
Now even if he wants to repent, he has no chance!
Seeing that Chen Yingxiong opened his mouth to say something, Advocaat pointed at him and said, "Fifteen minutes, you said it yourself. If it doesn't work, forget it. Fifteen minutes, or just watch TV in St. Petersburg, which one do you choose?"
"Uh..." Chen Yingxiong felt that there was no choice for this question, and he definitely wouldn't be watching TV in his apartment in St. Petersburg. He thought about it, gritted his teeth and agreed. "Then... just fifteen minutes!"
I said in my heart, fifteen minutes is fifteen minutes, give me fifteen minutes, I can overturn the earth!
Uh, it seems that the original words are not like this?

In this way, when Advocaat announced the team's 18-year-old roster for the away game against Vladivostok Solar, everyone did not see the names of the main players such as Arshavin, Dominguez, and Tymoshchuk. These people have all been put out of the big list.
This is normal, after all, the UEFA Cup final against Glasgow Rangers will be on the 14th. For this final, it is a wise head coach's choice to recharge the main lineup.
But to everyone's surprise and not surprise... Chen Yingxiong's name is on the big list!
